VAR ON THE WHISKY TRUST.
Julius Cesar Burrows, of Michigan, Finds
Something to do at Last.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 13.-Repre-
sentative Burrows, of Michigan. has be-
gun an active onslaught on the whisky
trust. To-day he introduced in the House
a long preamble and resolution reciting
the newspaper charge that the trust is
making spirits, high wines and alcohol
for use as beverages by the use OF adul-
terants; that the trust is in a conspiracy
with the rectifiers to the end; that the
adulteration is effected by the use of
poisonous drugs. OF which fact the re-
tailers and consumers are in ignorance:
that the spirit of the rectihers' law is
thus violated; that the United States
revenues are thus defrauded by the dimi-
mutton Of importations; that the rectlfers
are obliged to consume only the product
Of the trust. under heavy penalties; that
the contracts are in restraint OF COM
merCe between the States; wherefore, 1t
is
Resolved. That a special committee OF
five members of the House be appointed
to fully investigate and report upon the
subject, and especially with the persons
connected with the trust.

was neatly and unexpectedly captured In

recognized him and seized him. He
fought hard for his liberty. but they

changed the remedies to those used in
