A Bitter Fight.

LOUISVILLE, July 2O.-There is a bit
ter fight in progress over the whisky
question at Harlan Court House, Ken
lucky county. Judge Lewis believes a
great deal of whisky is being sold in spite
of the local prohibition law. Several
local grocerymen were tried a few days
ago on the charge, but no proof was pro,
duced. The arrests angered the accused,
and as Judge Lewis rode out of town at
evening he barely escaped being shot by
John H.. Barley, one of them. Lewis
rode back into town, and assembling the
opponents of the traffic, proceeded to
search the stores ofthose suspected. They
found liquor in several, and they rolled
the barrels into the streets and emptied
the contents. This was done under a
guard of twenty men with Winchesters.
Yesterday the whisky men rallied and
the factions had an encounter in the
street. A hundred shots were fred, but
nobody was killed. Five were carried off
badly wounded.

schedule filed two months ago shows the
total liabilities at 50, 919, 993. TIE assets
were first thought to be greatly in excess
of this amount, but is now known to be
over estimated. The assignees believe
this proposition will be accepted by the
creditors and that the firm will resume
business.

The Adjutant Generalship.

DENVER, July pa Washington
special to the Republican says: The
army gossips are already specializing upon
the successorship to Adjt.-Gen. Drum,
who retires in May next. The subject is
brought up at this time by reason of the
order bringing Gen. McKeever to duty
here in the fall. There are some who
look upon this as a preliminary move to
his appointment as adjutant general
They base their suspicious on the fact
that he bears very friendly relations with
the president. Others are disposed to
regard Gen. Whipple as a very strong
candidate. partly because of his strong
New York influence, and also because of
the fact that he will retire before again
having a chance for promotion, but the
majority do not suppose that the presi-
dent will pass by Gen. Kelten, who is not
only entitled to the promotion by reason
of seniority, but is in every way most ex-
cellently equipped for the position.
There is one feature in this case, how
ever, which does not appear to have been
considered. 1t is quite possible that unless
Adit. Gen. Drum is retired at his own
request before the 4th of March next,
President Cleveland may have surrender
ed his office to Gen. Benjamin Harrison,
in which case the latter twould nominate
the adiutant general,
