CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-President Greenhut,
of the whisky trust. said In an interview
today that the stock of the trust has gone
down because of the hostile attitude of the
government. He said he understood that

hut stated that the government agents as
sert that they have something startling 10
present in proof of the company doing bus
mess in violation of the Sherman
anti-trus. law. He declared that he
was not afraid OF any evidence they
might have, because his concern was do
ing legitimate business. The something
startling" spoken of by Greenhut is sup
posed to be the evidence alleged to be pos
sessed by the government that ex-Secre-
tary Gibson had been charged with con-
spiracy with the government gauger 10

agent of the trust is in this city and is

EXPORT DUTY ON sILvE. ORE.
Mexico Discouraging the shipping of
Rock to American SmeIters.

Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 2o.--For the last two
days no silver ore has been imported from
Mexico into this country, although there
are seventy car loads of ore in the yards
across the river. The cause of the blockade
is the new order just sent out from the
treasury department of Mexico, putting
a heavy duty on all high grade
ores exported into this country for the
protection of smelling companies forced
to establish plants in Mexico, on account
of the embargo placed on Mexican ore
containing lead by the United States treas
ury.
Under the new order ore running more
than ninety ounces to the ton must pay a
duty of Si46 on every 800 worth Of ore in
excess of ninety ounces.

IN THE SENATE.
Stanford and PETER Speak in Favor OF
the Farm Loan Bill.


WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. q. = Senator
Stanford today addressed the Senate in
advocacy of his bill to issue 500, 900 in
national notes and loan it on farm lands.
Mitchell asked Stanford whether, under
the proposed bill, any large corporation
that was large owner of land-a land
grant railroad, for example-could not
borrow to half the assessed value of its
lands. Stanford replied in the af1irma-
tive.
Morrill, inquired whether there was to
be more than one place in each state
where money was to be loaned by the gov
eminent. Stanford said the idea was to
have an agency of the land bureau in
every large city and town of state.
Morrill, suggested that it would entail
very large expense. and Stanford replied
that agencies would not be necessary in
every state.
PETER made long speech in advocacy
of the bill, which was then laid aside.
The La Abra bill was again taken up,
but, without disposing OF it, the Senate
went into executive session and soon ad-
journed until Monday.
