THE WHISKY TRUST
Finding Sales for Its Goods in Euro
pean Countries.
ALL CEREALS NEEDED FOR FOOD
In Germany and the Government Wants
Them Used for That Pupose--Big
Shipments Over the Pond This
MOnth--Closed Distillsriss
to Start.

CHIcAGs. November 25.-News has
been received here by whisky men that
the bounty which the German govern
ment has been paying TO distillers sor
the home production OF high wines was
withdrawn yesterday.
This action Is presumably on account
of the short cereal crops In that conn
try, the government desiring TO discour-
age the use OF any OF the good crops In
the manufacture OF "hard liquor" The
bounty has enabled the German distil-
lers To monopolize the high wine trade
OF Great Britain and France as well as
their own country, but It's removal and
the high price Of grain has opened both
the British Isles and the Continent TO
the American product and heavy ex-
port trade in that article is already tho
result.
f, Foreign dealers have rently been an
ticipating this action by the German
government, and have been buying
freely in this country. in fact, the
Western Dstillers' and Cattle Feeders
Association, better known as tho
Whisky Trust, has been forced TO take
the entire output OF two OF its largest
distilieries In Peoria tossupply this de-
mand.
Within the past week sales OF 5000
barrels for Marseilles, France; Germany,
and other parts OF the Continent. aud
400 for England and Scotland have
been made. III the demand keeps up,
as is expected, it will probably become
necessary to start up some OF the plants
which the trust has bought In tho past
few years and shut down.

A GREAT GAME
Prolmsed for To-Day Between Yale and
Princeton.

ProImsed for To-Day Between Yale and
Princeton.
New YORK, November 25.-That the
forthcoming Yale-Princeton football
game scheduled for tomorrow will
prove one OF the most important inter-
collegiate athletic events OF the century
there is no doubt.
No meeting of recent years, profes-
sional or otherwise, has aroused more
general enthusiasm. Every seat on the
grand-stand was disposed OF before sun
down yesterday, and late-comerS had
to 'give up" TO the spectators, OF whom
there was little army around Madison
Square last night.
Ordinary seats brought as high as $40
a pair. The hotels tonight presented
an unusual appearance. Lines OF
orange, and black and blue ribbons nut
tered over the desks and were distriou-
ted through the corridors.
Street merchants did thriving ousi-
ness in like cOlored rosOttes, bows, pins,
and oddly designed badges, while en-
thusiaSts, freshmen, SOphs, juniors. and
seniors too, for that matter, crowded
the Hobbies radiant in silk hats from
which streamed their colors.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the
University boys of New Haven made
their headquarters, was crowded by an
eager expectant throng, all anxious to
catch glimpse of some or all OF the
famous eleven that tomorrow will
work to add one more to seven cham
pionship games already to their credit.
Captain McClung, however, did not
give them much opportunity. He In
sisted that his men should rest and de-
MED them to all comerS.
The great trouble with the Princeton
PLAYERS is that they are all green men
and so have an innate fear OF players
with regulations like the Yale men, 50
that IL their rivals succeed in planting
the ball behind the line during the first
few minutes they will become discour-
aged and will not play the game as they
can.
It is believed that upwards Of 10000
people will visit the game.

A successful sale.

The Chancel Chapter Of st. Luke's
Episcopal Church held very success
full sale yesterday at the rooms OF the
Ladies' Art Association. The sale was
in the nature OF culinary delicacies,
choice salads, cakes, biscuits and rolls
went like the wind. They were made
especially for the occasion, and they
found ready buyers. The ladies Of this
Chapter are surely culinary artists, as
all who purchased spoke in very COM
pIlmentary terms Of the excellence OF
the viands. The sale petted about
$50. There was steady stream OF
lady callers all through the morning
hours. The affair was under the man
agement Of Mrs. Club. OF the Island.

HORSE STEAKS
Sold to Boarding Houses for Beef Steak in
Chicago.

Sold to Boarding Houses for Beef Steak In
Chicago.
CHICAGO, November 25.-Great con-
sternation was caused among patrons of
restaurants, boarding houses and re-
tailers, who deal in cheap meat in this
city. by the arrest of George Young
claus, of 1714 Fifty-frst street, on the
charge of selling horse flesh labeled as
'beef' to such institutions.
The police have been aware for some
time that systematic trade in horse
flesh was being carried on between GER
tain meat dealers and the restaurants,
but the meat was prepared so carefully
all bones being removed and only the
hind quarters sold-that it was impossi-
BILE to detect the difference between a
beefsteak and a horse-steak.
When Youngclaus was arrested, on
his premises the officers found a lot Of
horse flesh in pickle, verifying the re-
port that Youngclans was shortly to
sell on contract a quantity of "corncd
beef" Youngclaus is said to have1a
partner who has however fled, taking
with him a lot of old horses which were
to be slaughtered. 1t is believed that
traffic in horse flesh in this city has
amounted to many thousands Of dollars.

LASLEY PARDONED.
The Hancock County Man Has Strong
Petition Presented In His Favor.
Special TSlsoram 90 ns Rs0tgtsr


Petition Presented In Ills Favor.
Special Tslsoram 20 As Rs0fStsr.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, November 25'
The Governor has pardoned John W.
Lasley, who, at the October term, 1889,
was covicted in Hancock county OF vol
untary manslaughter, for shooting John
Lee, and was sentenced to four years
and eight months Imprisonment.
The application is strongly supported,
among others by all twelve OF the
jurors who tried the case, who assign
among other reasons the following:
Because, since the conviction, we
have become thoroughly satisfied that
the witnesses who upon the trial testi-
fed for the State, though then credited
by US, were and are utterly unworthy
of credence and confidence, and made
statements that were unreliable and un-
true"
c. L. Marshall, Clerk Of the Courts,
says the prisoner was convicted on the
testimony of the worst lot Of villains
that ever took an oath in this Court
House; the fact is, Lashey, after
being grossly abused and ter
4luly AnSulItuf nndAA1 SAoS
Lee to save his own life and which he
could save in no other way. he was
alone, confronted by five rowdies, who
were drunk at the time, and who had
crossed from the Ohio side to West Vir-
ginia for the very purpose Of cleaning
LaSley out.
John T. Swaney says that from his
knowledge of the character Of the wit
ness for the State, he was, he thinks,
juStifiable in defending his person.
Hon. Frank w. Stewart says he had
no doubt that the witnesses were doing
some false swearing. Since then 1t has
certainly been ascertained that the four
Englishmen who where working in the
pottery at East Liverpool with deceased,
didn't tell the truth.
The judge who presided at the trial
has been for months unable from sick
ness to be approached on the subject OF
pardon, but before he was taken sick
he expressed himself as desiring a par
don and willing to recommend one as
soon as the jurors had made their en-
dorSement.

WITH A CLEVER.
A New York Butcher Murdered by a
Friend in His Own ehop.

Friend IN HIS own ehop.
New YORK, November 25.-Robert
Lyons, a butcher, % years Of age, was
brutally murdered early this morning in
his shop by Michael Sliney. The wea-
pom used was clever Silney and Ly-
ons were believed to be the best OF
friends.
Sliney called on Lyons to collect a bill
OF S34 for coal. Mrs. Lyons, Roberts
mother, was in the rear room. She
heard no argument between the two
men. Sliny was standing against the
wall, her son was carving meat on
block five feet from him, and the pair
were in d pleasant conversation.
Mrs. Lyons was engaged at her work,
few minutes later, when a man stag
gered into the room. His face, head
and coat were covered with blood that
poured from an ugly sashing wound in
the side OF the head. Sho did not rec
ognize him at first. Then he called her
"Mother," and sinking on the floor by
her feet muttered "Sliney did it," and
expired.
Sliney surrendered himself 10 the
police when his mother told him they
were looking for him. Sliney denied
having committed the deed and was
locked up. Thus far the police have
been unable to secure witnesses to the
crime.

German Crop Condition.

BERLIN, November 25.-As a natural
consequence of the shortage in the
yield OF cereals In Germany the news
papers have devoted much space to
publishing reports Of the stacks OF
groin on hand in the country. To-day
the North German Gazette, the organ
of the Government, publishes an
article on the subject in which. it
says that, basing its conclusion on Off
cial statistics,it considers that Germany
is not menaced by dearth of bread
stuffs. 1t adds, however, that the short
yield of rye may necessitate restric-
tion of the consumption OF that grain
and the replacing of rye products by an
extended use Of wheat.

Years,

LONDON, November 25. Charles
Grande, alias dozen other names, who
has been on trial in this city on charges
of blackmailing, was to-day found
guilty and sentenced to twenty years
penal servitude.

ious trade for long time, and he num-,
bers his victims several titled ladies'.
1t was his habit to write letters to these
ladies, threatening them with his ven-
geance unless they complied with his
demands for money.
When LIE Grande was arrested the
police found in his possession forged
bill OF exchange. This afforded an op-
portunity for another charge to be made
against him in addition to the charge Of
blackmail.
The prisoner was convicted on the
charge also, and on this conviction he
was sentenced TO an additional term OF
seven years.
