WHISKY TRUST BEATEN

In It's Efort to CONTROL the 0Inrket-A
Decision of Far Reaching Consequence.
CHICAGO, Dec. William New
burger this afternoon obtained iudg-
ment against tho Distillers' and Cattle
Feeders Company, commonly known
as the Whisky Trust, for s1O0 aud in
terest. II this is sustained the prece-
don't will, it is said, deprive the trust OF
some fiftecn million dollars OF con-
sumers' money. The Whisky Trust has
a regulation by which its goods are sold
at an advance of five cents above the
actual market price. Rebate vouchers
are issued for the excess, and these are
paid providing the holder for six months
after buys all his goods from the trust.
The vouchers on which the present case
is brought were held by Newburger and
assigned by firm which had not
bought oil its goods from tho Whisky
Trust. The trust, therefore, refused to
honor the rebate vouchers.
As result of to-day's decision other
suits will be begun in the higher courts
for amounts varying from $50 to 81 900.
The effort is not only being made for
the purpose of obtaining the money,
but Is to bring about an open market,
it being supposed that other distillers
opposed to the trust will start up in
opposition, and that lower prices will

sTEuBRNvlLIE, O., Dec. 20.-"1 will
marry the girl in spite Of hi" So
said John Garrett, a gray-haired gentle
man Of seyenty.stx, to-day, as he stood
angrily in the probate court, having
been bafEled in his determination to
procure license to marry q girl of
nineteen. What makes the case SO in
tensely sensational Garrett is worth
ninety thousand dollars, while Maud
Miller, the girl, although pretty, is poor
as church mouse. Garretts children
are afraid Of her welding hor feminine
charms SO irresistably that they will be
cut of without cent when he dies.
Mr.. CARROTS wife died some years
ago. Until three years ago he lived on
a farm. AT that time his bachelor
brother, H. G. Garrett, banker OF this
city, died worth Sl50,0O0. John Gar
rett, his only brother, was given tho
bulk OF tho estate. He has been board

terested in the pretty girl, visited tho
store, then her home and offered her
his hand and fortune. His children
heard of the case and objected, but
their talk had no effect on him; SO they
had Attorney MossGrove file proceed
ings for guardian to be appointed on
account Of his imbecility. 1t was this
insulting paper that acted on Garrett
as q red flag does to bull.
His children never thought he would
marry, and as q marriage seemed to
Blight their hopes they stopped him.
He visited one of his children to-day,
and intimated that if the proceedings
for guardian were not dropped he would
cut them off without cent. A promise
was givon him that proceedings would
be Withdrawn and allow him to marry
without molestation.
The girl is the daughter Of Edward O.
Miller, who is an engineer on tho river.
An ante-nuptial agrcement is being ar
ranged, by which his estate will be dis
tributed before marriage.

An Incident Which illustrates BIS Re-
marknble Polttlcnl Tact.

marknble Political Tact.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 2O.-Con-.
gresham Boutelle, of Maine, is quoted
in the Post as telling the following story:
"Mr. Blaine is suffering from exhaus-
ton. He has drawn upon his health
for years and years without regard to
impairing his vitality. His book,
Twenty Years in Congress" would be
a monument itself to any man, and yet
it is only one of the many great things
Mr.. Blaine has done. 1t was composed
with rapidity that stands unequalled
in literary history, unless the novels Of
Sir Walter Scott be excepted. Mr..
Blaine's versatility is wonderful. re-
member in the administration Of Cow
ernor Garcelon, when the Democrats
were trying to wrest the state from US
and when Maine was in fever heat and
civil war seemed impending, Mr.. Blaine
was the chairman Of the state
committee and had charge Of
the Republican fight. We had
been endeavoring to got the governor
to submit the questions at issue to the
supreme court, but had not succeeded.
Mr.. Blaine led the fighting, was aggres-,
sive and unyielding and OF course, noth-
ing that he could say would be listened
to by tho other side. Presently there
appeared a letter to the governor signed
by Lot N. Morrill, who was known
everywhere as peace-loving, conserya-
tive Republican, asking tho governor to
lay before the supreme court tho quess
tions at issue. Tho letter was mild in
tone, frank and fair in its expressions
and adroitlY put upon tho other side
the onus of refusing to submit the dis
pute to arbitration. Public opinion at
once changed, the governor was Obliged
to submit the matter and the decision
was in favor of tho Republicans. For
years Mr.. Morrill, received the praise Of
hundreds OF men. not only in Maine
but throughout the Unitod states, for
his wisdom and tact.
"Mr. Blaine wrote the letter. Mr..
Morrill, simply copied it and signed his
name"

WAsH1xGroS, D. @. Dec. 2o-Accord-
ing to the report that came out from
the Blaine mansion to-day the ex-secse-.
tary's condition showed signso OF a slight,
but still noticeable improvement.
Dr. Johnston, after his early morning
call, hardly went as far as this. lie
told tho reporters that Mr.. Blaine was
no worse than he was yesterday.
Mr.. Blaine passed a fairly comfort
able night and managed to get consid-
cradle amount of sleep. To-day he felt
trille stronger for his rest and seemed
to bc quite bright and cheerful. Later
in the day, when the sun came out from
behind tho clouds, his spirits revived
accordingly, for he has a room facing
toward tho south and enjoys tho genial
sunlight, Of which there has been SO
little for the past few days.
Adispatch from New York says: DIR.
Alfred l. Loomis returned to this city.
last night from Washington, where he,
had been to see Mr.. Blaine. To a re-
porter he said: "Mr. Blaine Is in q
very critical condition, yet he cannot,
be said to be in any immediate danger.
He is very sick man and may die at
any moment, or he may live for weeks.
It is impossible to tell anything more
definite about his case at present"

Columns, ONO, Dec. Gothic su-
preme court to-day announced its de:
cision in tho mandamus case of tho
Fayettc county election. The decision
makes Judge Shearer, the Republican
candidate for circuit court, the success
full aspirant. The case grew out OF tho
Democratic members Of the Fayetto
county board of deputy supervisors re-
fusing to sign abstract No. Sbecause the
Peoples party vote cast for Frank

confusion. NJ. DeRoulede closed with
an attack on tho mutual benefit associa-
tion, not OF socialists and revolution
aries, but Of rich men and rich mems
pamperers.
THE USUAL DUEL.
NJ. Clemenceau replied that N. De
Roulede's attacks were pernicious,
shameless and without foundation. Al
though he had no written proofs of his
innocence, he defed De Roulede to sub
.stantiate the charges just made. He
would not answer these brazen ISLANDERS
in the chamber, but would demand per-
sonal satisfaction Immediately after adj
iournment. The attacks OF the last
speaker upon NJ. Herr were based on
falsehood and Imagination. DR.. Herr
had served France faithfully as soldier
and physician. Boulanger himself had
not a more devoted friend than DR..
Herr. NJ. Clemenceau acknowledged
that La Justice had dsupported capitalists
occasionally, but denied that 1t had
ever. promoted business enterprises in
the interest OF DIR. Herr. In conclusion
NJ. Clemenceau cried out: "De Roulede
has accused me of betraying my coun-
try by introducing foreign influence.
De Roulede lies."
CLEMENcEAU AGAIN ABUSED.
After another scene Of wild disorder
Lucien Millvoye, Boulangist deputy for
semme, rose to defend, as he said, the
memory of General Boulauger against
the aspersions cast upon it by N. Cle-
menceau's statement concerning the
friendship between Herr and this great
man. He then let loose q torrent Of
abuse on NJ ClemenCeau, accusing him
OF accepting millions in brIbes and of
advising tho abandonment Of Egypt by
the French government, In the canse-
quent tumult N. AIillevoye turned upon
N. Floquet, who was trying to restore
ordor, and shouted at him an insulting
name. NIillevoye closed his speech
with the assertion that Herr was the
paid emissary OF foreign power.
NJ. Bourgeois, minister OF justice, an
nounced. amid applause, that he would
arraign DR.. Herr before the disciplinary
council of the legion OF honor. n. De-

he Withdrew his Interpolation, The
chamber then adjourned.
The bitter feeling aroused during the
sitting led to many wrangles and tu-
multuous scenes in the lobbies Of tho
chamber and it is believed that q num-
ber Of duels will be the result. Depu-
ties DeRoulede and Millovoye have al
ready sent seconds to Deputy Clemen-
ccau to demand satisfaction from him
for insults heaped upon them in the
heat OF the quarrel.

THE FINANCIAL FLunRY OVER.

TIE FINANCIAL FLuHht ONkhs
Information was received at the treas
ury to-day to the effect that tho finan-
ciaI furry in New York is practically
over for the present and that there Is
no longer any prospect OF panic.
Money is reported easy and exchange
has fallen below the shipping point so
that the heavy exports Of gold are not
likely to continue.
Secretary Foster said this morning
that S3,O00,0O0 in gold has been taken
out OF the treasury this week and that
about S1,5000O0 more would probably
be lost before tho week was ended. He
is confident, however, he said, that this
gold will soon be returned with interest
through the regular channels OF trade.
He said that there is really nothing
alarming in the situation and that stocks
apparently unsettled now will readily
adjust themselves.
Mr.. Hepburn, comptroller OF the cur
rency, also said this morning that there
was really no occasion for alarm at tho
state of affairs in Wall street, and that
he would be surprised If the apparent
stringency was not intended solely for
its effect on Congress.
Mr.. Hepburn said that whilo there
may be some sentiment in the situation
ho was convinced that the interests OF
the country demanded the repeal OF tho
Sherman silver bill. Secretary Charles
Foster makes no secret Of his purpose
of repairing, so far as possible within
legitimate bounds, serious inroads on
government gold holdings resulting
from the recent shipments of that
metal to European countries, To that
end he has renewed the policy so sue
cessfully employed by him at earlier
periods OF his administration, when the
gold balance of the treasury was simi-
larly menaced by foreign influences,
This policy In brief is to disburse
currency OF any character and denomi-
nation desired at any point in tho
United States which may be needed in
exchange for gold deposited in any sub.
treasury except that at San Francisco.
THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
Tho Republicans in the senate have a
''steerlngh committee that will cross
swords with tho similar committee Of
tile Democrats and endeaVor to foil
them in their endeavor to secure the
election OF United States senators in the
doubtful northwestern states. 1t will
be remembered that at the meeting OF
the Republicans last week Mr.. sher.
man, chairman OF the caucus, was au-
thorized to appoint a committee to con
sider what, II anything, should be done
by the Republicans relative to the cleo
tions. 1t was not intended that the
committee should have the powers Of a
"steeringn committee, but since the an.
nouncement Of Its mcmbers the Repub.
licans have been calling 1t q Steering
committee" The senators are Mr..
Hoar, chairman, and Messrs. Mcmillan,
Chandler, Teller and Mitchell.
This committee has held two or three
meetings and has come TO the conclu.
sion that while 1t cannot offer the states
Of the northwest any material relief,
1t will keep itselfin shape to protect

washington, D. g., Dec, 2o.-The con-
struction Of revenue cutters on the
great lakes by the Canadian authorities
has received renewed consideration by
the treasury department within the
past few days, since the receipt of re.
port mado by one of the lieutenants in
the service to Captain schepard, of the
revenue marine service. In this report
the lieutenant writes at considerable
length of the now vessels which have
been built by Canada within the past
year or SO, and which are now about
ready for service. There arc now three
Of them, the Constance. the Curlcw and
the Petrol. The first two were built at
Owen Sound and the Petrel has just
boon launched at Hamilton. They
show that in all essential features the
boats are naval vessels.
The report states that English and
Canadian officers and citizens explain
cd that these VESSELS were built with q
view to protecting the Wellaud canal
from destruction in case OF attack and
in this connection the statement was
made that there are so vessels in the
British navy which can be introduced
into the great lakes via the St. Law
renee and canal route. Contracts have
boon let for enlarging and deepening
tho Cornwall canal near Montreal
which is the shallowest. The Con-
stance, the Curlew and the Petrel can
90 through Welland canal at full speed,
l4i knots an hour.
The report does not excite any appre.
hension or alarm at the treasury de-
partment. Assistant Secretary Spauld-
ing says he has no fear that England
will at any time endeavor to rush
feet of fifty vessels through the St.
Lawrence to tho lakes, nor that the.
British vessels now on the lakes will
ever seriously menace either the COM
merce OF the inland seas or the great
cities that lie on the borders thereof.
Secretary j. w. Foster was asked to.
day: SIS it the policy of the United
States to meet an increase OF iorce on
tho lakes by a similar increase OF our
own armaments?"
"Speaking only for the state depart
mont, l should say the United States
will not build any revenue cutters on
the lake unless it needs them. That is
question for the treasury department
to determine. When additional ships
are necessary in the current business OF
the country they will be constructed
and not before. The treaty of 1917, as
construed by both the United States
and Great Britain, places no restriction
upon tho force of revenue vessels that
may be- maintained on the lakes by
either party. But the document should
be amended in some important particu-
lars to make it conform to modern con-
ditions. In its present condition it Is
out OF date and some OF its requirements
arc ignored by mutual consent"

A member said this afternoon that it
was the intention of the committee to

case Of contests which will no doubt
come before tho senate they will be

Hon. John I. Durham, minister to

absence, has been instructed by tho
secretary Of state to return without
delay to Port Au Prince and investigate
the facts attending the arrest and i'm
prisonment OF Frederick Meys, o re.

city. If the circumstances arc as re-
ported the minister will be expected to
bring the subject to the immediate at
tention Of the Haytian government with
view TO full indemniication for tho
wrong done. The secretary OF the navy
has placed the Atlanta at tho disposal
of the state department to take Minis
ter Durham to his post.
