RIoTING MINERS.
They Attempt to Imprison Mon in the
Pits Who Refuse to Join Them.

They Attempt to Imprison Men in the
Pits Who Refuse to Join Them.
BRUSSELS, April 12.-The strike move
ment is spreading. Three hundred
miners engaged in the strike, perpetrated
much wanton damage at Quareguon to-
day. There were many men working in
the pit who refused to join the strikers,
the mob's efforts were directed against
them as much as against the owners of
the pit. All sorts of rubbish was thrown
into the shaft, the intention OF the
strikers being to imprison the men IN the
mine. The pit officials were helpless, and
assistance was asked from the gendarmes,
but before the officers arrived consider
able damage was done. The latter at
once ordered the rioters to dispense, and
upon their refusal to do SO, attacked them
with the fat sides of their swords, and
the strikers were finally dispersed.
Further trouble is apprehended and g
close watch will be kept.
The striking coal miners Tioted all az
ternoon. At Cuesmes 1900 men attacked
buildings near the pits mouth shortly af-
ter noon, drove off the guards and off,
Gals and demolished all the machinery,
houses and shops. The rioters have pos
session of most of the town. The gar
rison in Mons is confined to the barracks,
and call for help is expected from Cues
mes before the night is over.

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
The Geary Law Will Go to the
Supreme Court.
TEST CASE TO BE PUSHED.
All Arrangements Are Concluded to
Rush the Matter.
1t Is Expected That the Constitutionality
of the Law viii Be Deter
mined by the Middle
of May.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Extraordinary
efforts will be made to secure adjudication
upon the Chinese exclusion act by the Su-
preme Court at this term. The matter
has been the subject of correspondence
between the government of the United
States and China, and at the request OF
the state department the department OF
justice has completed the necessary pre-
liminaries in conjunction with counsel
for the Chinese government and its sub
jects in this country.
Under the terms of the Geary law case
to determine the validity OF the act can
not be begun until the 9th of
next month. In ordinary circum-
stances 1t would be impossible to brin g
the case before the Supreme Court of
the United States before adjournment for
the summer recess, but by concurrent &C
ton of parties interested, which has bee n
secured in view of the important inter-
national character of the questions in
volved, the standing of the law will be
decided within few weeks, thus obviat-
ing long, tedious and expensive litigation.
The arrangement entered into contem-
plates the arrest of Chinese laborer in
New York for violation of the
terms of the law. A prompt decision
in the lower courts will permit
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which may be heard on
the Sth of May, and if the programme be
carried out, a decision will be rendered
by the middle of May, at which time the
court expects to adjourn for the term.

4 GREAT BANK FAILURE.
The English, Scottish and Au.
stralian Bank Suspends.
THE LIABILITIES s4O,OOO,OOO.
No Estimate of Assets Has Yet Been
Made.
The Bank Has Branches at Various Points
in the Colonies of New South
Wales, Victoria and
South Australia.

LONDON, April 12.-The English,
Scottish and Australian Chartered bank
has failed, with liabilities amounting, it
is said, to sS, 900, 600 or $40, OOO, 900. No
estimate of assets has yet been made but
they are supposed to be large. The bank
was incorporated by royal charter in 1852
and claimed to have paid up capital Of
$500. 900 and a reserve fund of e319, 600.
The suspended bank has main branches
at Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Mel
bourne and various lesser points in the
colonies of New South Wales, Victoria
and South Australia. It transacted
banking and exchange business between
Great Britain and Australian colonies and
had large deposits.
The failure has added to the anxiety
and CONSERVATION which the previous re-
cent failures of financial institutions with
Australian connections have caused. The
only reason given for the failure is that
there has been for several weeks a stead
lily increasing withdrawal of deposits.

THE WHISKY TRUST.
President Greenhut Tells Why the
Quarterly Dividend Was Passed.
The Company Is Carrying Tremendous
stock-Heavy Rebates Due
Distiners

PEORIA, H., April 1.-THE annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Distil-
ler's and Cattle Feeders company was
held today. The report OF President
Greenhut was of more than usual length.
He first spoke of the prospects last fall of
Congress increasing the whisky tax, and
the subsequent filing of all warehouses
OF the trust was at that time regarded as
q good chance for profits. The project
failed, but President Greenhut considers
that no set of men ever worked more
conscientiously than did the directors
and officers OF the trust. TIE company
had been censured for ADJ ar cling prices
last fall, but those who passed through
other tax agitations know that prices
then advanced relatively much higher
than last winter. and without any pre-
concerted action.
Owing to overproduction the company
is carrying three times as much stock as
ever before. This has used all the ready
cash and it is necessary to borrow more.
The item of rebate alone which falls due
in, April, May and June will exceed the
amount the company will receive from
the same source by $500, 000 as the rebates
now coming due cover large sales of last
October, November and December. This
was- the cause of passing the last
quarterly dividend.
President Greenhut gave detailed in
formation of the pool last fall to protect
the stock, but subsequent attacks by the
bears with stories of congressional inves-
tigation had tendency to throw the
stock from the New York Stock exchange,
as rumors of bankruptcy and receivers
caused veritable stampede which friends
OF the company were poWerless to check.
The total earnin g for the year ending
March 81 was 81, S42, 6S8. Dividends and
expenses paid, 81, 627, 1868. Cash and cash
assets, s., 1SS, sol. Against which are
liabilities in the shape of rebates, balance
due on distilleries purchased, etc., OF
s., 06S, 2S9. President Greenhut recon-
mends the issuing of bonds secured by a
first lien on the property to guarantee to
consumers payment of rebate vouchers.
He opposes the purchase of additional
distilleries as this offers a premium to
buildinglnew houses.
The only safe way of overcoming COM
petition is to produce at the lowest cost
and sell cheap to the trade. He recon-
mends the purchase of necessary distrib-
uting establishments and the issuing of
bonds to raise the necessary capital. Will
liam o. Hobart OF st. Louis, H. Green of
Cincinnati, and John Beggs of Terre
Haute, Ind, were elected directors for
three years, and j. Walter Freiberg of
Cincinnati for one year.

The United States Gains It's First Victory
in the Arbitration.
PARIS, April 12.-Upon the opening OF
the Behring sea court of arbitration today.
President Baron De Courcelles announced
that the court had decided not to admit
the British supplementary report for the
present. The president added this de-
cision was without prejudice to the right
of counsel to introduce the report in the
pleadings by word of mouth. The presi-
dent further announced that the tribunal
had decided to adjourn the demand Of the
United States Tor the rejection of portions
Of the British counter case.
j. G. Carter then recorded an address in
the course of which he reviewed the his
tory of the sealing industry,
and mentioned that Russia had
prohibited the slaughter OF female seals.
He contended that seals were bestowed
by providence on all mankind. It was
the duty of the American government to
prevent this determination and therefore
the United States reenacted Russian reg
ulations for the protection of seals and
arrested Canadian poacherS because it
was impossible to allow any nation to
destroy Indiscriminately the gift of proyi-
dence. Mr.. Carter read the diplomatic
communications Wnen Lne seizures were
made of vessels accused of Deaching. His
address will probably last for fortnight.
United States Agent Foster said in an
interview today that the decision of the
court OF arbitration in refusing Tor the
present to admit the British supplement
tary report, substantially sustains the
American Interpretation of the treaty of
arbitration in convention, that additional
evidence cannot properly be laid before
that fribuOaI This docIaiOu Mr. Eorfor
adds, has determined that the report can
rank as argument or criticism, but is not
pertinent as evidence or printed argu-
ment provided for in the treaty.

One in Brooklyn.
New YORK. April 12.-In an old ram
shackled building in Brooklyn, tenantless
since the last occupant committed suicide
five years ago, an internal revenue officer
today captured one of the largest and best
equipped illicit distilleries that has fallen
into the hands of the government for
years. Suspicion was aroused by neigh
bors observing smoke issuing from the
chimney and also that half dozen or
more swarthy visaged men were observed
20 enter and leave the building at given
hours. The talk of the neighborhood
found its way to internal revenue head
quarters and today officers descended up
on the mysterious house.
The doors were forced one by one. but
this gave the moonshiners time to escape.
The apparatus was left in full operation.
There were about 3,00OIgallons of high
wines in casks. The still was of modern
make with capacity of $50 gallons, a
copper worm, thirty empty casks and
GOO gallons of mash sleeping in a high
tub and some minor praphernalia were
geized.
