"a TERRIBLE CHARGE.
The Secretary of the Great Whisky Trust
Charged With Conspiracy to Put Down
Competitor BY Means of Dynamite.

The Secretary of the Great Whisky Trust
Charged With Conspiracy to Put Down
Competitor BY Means of Dynamite.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-George j. Gibson,
secretary of the great whisky trust, was
arrested at the Grand Pacific Hotel
yesterday morning on charge of con-
spring to blow up all the distilleries in
the country not belonging to the trust.
Mr.. Gibson lives at Peoria and it is
said that he came here for the express
purpose of wrecking the Shufeldt dis
tillery in this city.
In small satchel carried by Mr.. Glib
son was found a number Of articles
which are said to be positive evidence
of his connection with the conspiracy.
Gibson was taken to the United
States marshal's Office in the Govern
ment building, and at preliminary
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Hoyne in the afternoon waived
examination and was held to the Fed
eral grand jury $4,000 bail.
The conspiracy was worked up
through Revenue Inspector T. S.
Dewar, who was told guardedly some
months ago that the Shufeldt distillery
was in the way of the trust, and that
there was big money for the man who
succeeded in getting the concern out of
the way
Solicitor Hart. of the internal revenue
bureau of the United States Treasury
Department, who has arrived in this
city from Washington to take charge of
the case, has in his possession the dyna-
mite machine with which the destruc-
ton of the Shufeldt distillery was to be
effected, and papers closing the CON
tract for the diabolical business.
The specific change against Gibson
is that he tried to bride Dcwar to blow
up the Schufeldt distillery. All ar
rangementS had been completed for
the work when the Government officials
prevented the consummation of the
conspiracy.
Inspector Stuart, of the Post-office
Department, one of the officials who
made the arrest, said: II am not at
liberty to give the facts in the case. but
there is nothing that human mind can
conceive more diabolical and horrible
than the intentions of the conspirators.
1t was nipped just in time, too, for the
first blow was to have been struck here
in Chicago. Then it would have been
repeated in other points,
The Shufeldt distillery was the most
important outside of the combination,
and it was against this that the plot was
arranged. Two previous attempts,
which were attributed to the whisky
trust, but not proved, were made to de-
stroy Shufeldt's with dynamite. One OF
them occurred two years ago last fall.
Detective Dan Coughlin, of the city pc.
lice force, was detailed on the case, and
it was while at work on it that he made
the acquaintance of the little German,
John P. Kunze. Both of them were af-
terward tried for completely in the as
sassination of DIR. Cronin. Coughlin is
serving life sentence for the crime,
but Kunze was acquitted.

Ex-President Cleveland Opposed to Free
Coinage.
New York, Feb. 12.-Between 600
and 700 people attended the mass meet
ing called at Cooper Union last night
by the Reform Club to oppose the silver
bill. E. Ellery Anderson presided and
among letters of regret that were read
was this, under date of February 10,
from eX-President Cleveland:
My Dear Sir: ] have this afternoon
ceived your note inviting me to attend to-
morrow evening a meeting called for the
purpose of voIcing the opposition of the
business men of our city to the free coinage
of silver in the United States. shall not be
able to attend and address the meeting Is you
request, but am glad that the business in
tereSts of New York are at last to be heard
on the subject. 1t surely can not be ne>es-
sary for me to make a formal expression OF
my agreement with those who believe that
the gravest perils would be initiated by the
ad option OF the scheme embraced in the
measure now pending in Congress for an
unlimited coinage of silver at our minis. If
we have developed an unexpected capacity
for the assimilation of Il largely increased
volume of the currency, and even if we have
demonstrated the usefulness of such an in.
crease, these conditions fall far short of in
suringAuS against disaster, if in the present
situation we enter upon the dangerous and
reckless experiment of free, unlimited and
independent silver coinage

Evident Signs That 1t Will Be Open For
Settlement Before Many Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The House
Committee on Territories has agreed
upon a report concerning the Cherokee
Strip. 1t will recommend the passage
of substitute for the Mansur bill pro-
viding that the Strip be opened to set
Element. The Mansur bill proposed
that the Indians should be paid $1.25 an
acre, the money to be paid as the en-
tries were made, but the substitute
agreed upon provides that commission
shall settle with the Indians for the
price of their lands after the Strip has
been restored to public domain. This is
pretty near the same bill reported on
January % by the House Committee on
Indian Affairs as substitute for the
Perkins bill. The committee does not
entertain much hope that the bill will
pass the Senate, but it is pretty certain
that an effort will be made to get it
through the House. The report is
signed by all the mem bers of the Terri
torial Committee except Barnes, of
Georgia, and Baker, of New York, and
there is undoubtedly a strong senti-
ment in the House favoring the passage
of some measure of this kind.
1t is proposed to open the Cherokee
Strip and settle with the Indians after
ward, the Government having already
paid 4719 cents an acre for G,500, OGO

A Technical Explanation.

An English actress on the voyage
across the Atlantic was on deck one
day. and saw the man at the wheel re-
ceive violent blow on the head. So
much did the sight affect her that she
retreated to her cabin and did not again
appear on deck until land was sighted.
Then she perceived at the wheel the
man whom she had seen knocked on
the head With deep sympathy she
asked him:
''How is your head now?'
"West-and-by-north, ma'am," was the
answer.-Albany Argus.

The Forsythe Reinstatement.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-General Miles,
when asked whether he had any thing
to say in regard to Colonel Forsythe's
reinstatement, said: 81 know nothing
about the action taken at Washington.
l do not care to make any statement in
regard to it, nor do 1 care to review the
case. l made careful study of the
matter and did what thought the ex-
igencies of the case demanded. What I
did I would do again under the same
circumstances. expect to receive no
official notice of the action taken, from
the fact that Colonel Forsythe is not
under my command but is in General
Merritt's department"

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 12.-The 1evee
and military reception given in honor OF
Michigan's Democratic Governor, Ed
win P. Winans, by the Detroit light
guard, was very largely attended by
delegations from all over the State as

the occasion. At the close Of the recep-
ton at 10 o'clock the assembled COM
