DistiIIers Taken in on a scheme to Impreve
Poor Whisky.
CHICAGO, May ia scheme rivaling in
some respects the great Electric Sugar
fraud was exposed here to day. The per-
petrator is a smoOth-mannered young fell
low named John "A rchibald Comp, whose
papers indicate be nss been operating in
Kansas City, ST Louis, Cincinnati and
other places, as well as in Chicago. He is
now missing and it is said a good many
thousand dollars belonging to various dis
tillers and liquor dealers have disappeared
with him. Comp, il is stated by the su-
thorities, pretended to possess a compound
which would change poor whisky into the
finest grade. A gallon sample of the vilest
''forty-rod' after being medicated would
be placed In refrigerator and in
ten minutes be taken out transformed
into the finest Bourbon. IL objection was
made TO the refrigerator, Comp would ac-
company the doHbter to any place desired
and then retiring TO private room ac-
orator. IL now turns out, however, that
the refrigerator was really, as suspected, a
clever device by which a bottle containing
good whiskey was substituted for the bad.
The trick, when performed elsewhere than
az the refrigerator, was done by means of a
tin breast plate or armor worn under
Comps clothing. This armor was double
and was in reality reservoir, which by
means of a concealed tube could be emp
tied OF filled at will Comp was inveigled
into taking a detective into partnership
with him, but when his arrest was contem-
plated he smelt mouse and fed, leaving
behind the refrigerator, but carrying off
the armOr.

CHICAGO, May l5.-The Wabash road east
OF the Mississippi was sold at public aue-
ton under q decree of foreclosure this
morning. IL was bought by James T. JOY,
of New York, representing a majority OF
the bandholders, who some time ago took
possession of that portion of the road west
of the Mississippi river. The price paid
to-day was sl5, 500 600. This puts the en-
tire property under Jay Gould's control

The amount received secures the first

on all the rest of the road. Said President
Ashley, of the Wabash Western: 1--WE
will consolidate the Wabash railway and

probably call the complete system the

issued and sold S34. 100000 fifty year

OTTENDERFER'S ADVICE.

The American missioners at Berlin
:Given a Tip by the German Editor.
NEW YORK, May is. Editor Oswald
Ottenderfer, of the Stats Zeitung, arrived
yesterday after an absence of five months
In Europe In an interview he said: II
met our Samoan commissioners IN Berlin,
and they seemed TO be confident of carrying
their points, because Bismarck is SO graci-
ous- They asked for the independence of
the islands and that the people be not in
terfered with in their internal affairs. The
news of the release Of King MalietOs
was received in Berlin while
was there, and it created
a favorable impression. 1 told Commits
sioner Phelps, however that he had better
look sharp lest the chancellor steal a
march on him. Ii is altogether likely
that King MalietOa, who was in the hands
of the German marines for two years is
now a mere tool of Bismarck's. The
young emperor, Wilhelm, is suffering
from a trouble in the head which has made
him partially deaf and fears are enter
tanned that IL will become serious "

the advantages of education in France,
Germany and England. She is

right and receives a large annuity from

naturally be supposed, the princess has not
lacked suitors for her fair hand, all of
whom, including Earl Dudley, she has
persistentIy refused. Lord Darcy was
~ q member of the English peerage. but
he gracefully yielded TO the wishes of his
lovely and only child to accept as

AN ARMED FLYER.

The Piedmont Believed 10 be Now the
FASTEST war-hip Afoat.
WASHINGTON, May I5.-With some in
terest naval architects in Washington are
waiting further partic culars of the perform
ance of the remarkable cruiser built in
England by the Armstrong;. She is named
the Piedmont, and is said to have made
1871 knots under natural draft and over
twenty-one knots with q forced draft. The
vessel measures 800 tons and carries en-
gines of II. 500 horse power, nearly treble
the proportionate horse power of the
new gunboat Yorktown. From in
formation received it appears the hull
of the ship weighs go tons and is of the
lightest possible construction, verging
closely on weakness. Elements, of safety
and convenience, such as complete bottoms
and handy coal bunkers, have been sacri-
feed for the sake of lightness in the vessel,
which accounts in a great measure for the
wonderful speed said TO have been at
tanned. Nevertheless, although the ship was
built for the Italian government, British
naval authorities have made strenuous but
unsuccessful efforts to purchase her from
the builders

THE FREE LEAD HEARING.
Western Men Urging Change in the Rats
Governing Importatiop.

Governing ImpOrtation-
WASHINGTON. May ia large aslega.
ton Of miners and smelters from the wes,
appeared before Secretary Window TO-DAY
for hearing touching the ruling of the
treasury department relative to the impor-
tatiOn Of lead ore from Mexico. According
70 this ruling lead ores are imported free OF
duty as precious metal, II the silver con-
tanned therein exceeds the lead in value.
This ruling they contend is injurious 20
the smelling interests of the western terri
tories, and they desire it be revoked and
the ore be classified by the weight Of the
various metals composing il, instead of the
value Representing this view OF the case
there were present Senator WOlcott ex-
Gov. Grant and ID Speedy, Of Colorado: Del
eRate Carter and ex-CiOv. Hauser OF Mon
tana; Van Horn, of Utah. and Delashmut.
OF Portland, Ore. In support of the correct
ness OF this ruling a number of New York
and Kansas City dealers appeared. They
argued that an analysis of the language of
the law of 1858, Imposing q duty
OF II cents pound on lead
ore. would show that the ruling OF
the department was correct. They called
attention To the fact that in 1880 Secretary
sherman had made similar ruling and
that Assistant Secretaries Fairchild and
Maynard also decided In a like manner.
The senate committee on judiciary have
been called upon 70 pass its opinion as 10
the ruling, and unanimously decided liz
was correct and proper. In view of these
facts they maintained that the secretary of
the treasury should not now be called upon
10 reverse that ruling, but congress WAS
the proper tribunal to which the smelters
OF the west should have recourse. The
nearing Will be continued tomorrow.
In support of the contention that lead
ores imported with silver ores should be
made 10 pay the duty imposed by law upon
tne former, the people representing Color
adO ana the western territories put in testi-
mony going 10 show that the ores imported
dlner IN no respect from those coming in
before the department rdled that lead ore
De free OF duty, when forming part of an
importation OF which silver was the mater
lal OF chief value. They traced the ore
through It's various stages from the time
IL was mined until il reached the
refined state. To show This was
so they asked the department to return 20
its old ruling, making these importatiOns
dutiable and urged 1t was not the intention
OF congress 10 allow this lead ore To be ad-
nItted duty free. The tariff laws they
said, were based on the principle OF pro-
lection, and IL was certainly not the pur-
pose of congress 10 declare lead dutiable
and then to open q way for the evasion of
that duty by the importation of large
quantities of lead with small portions OF
silver. The uphoIders Of the present rul-
ing consumed most of the time 10. day and
Will be the first heard to morrow after
which the lead men will be given fuller
opportunities to present their case.
