Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Voorhees,
gave notice of sn amendment to the rules
when the senate convened. 1t provides
that when a bill or resolution pending in
the senate as unfinished business shall
have been debated thirty days, any SEN
at0r may move to fix a time for taking
a vote thereon. Such motion shall not he
amendable nor debatable, and if passed,
the pending bill or resolution shall be
voted upon at the time fixed. This :s
considered to mean that the fight If the
repeal men will be- continued ami that
by a closure rule will secure the passage
of the repeal bill. The compromise me-,
arc said to be at sea, being unable to
agree upon the bond question and when
the Sherman act is to BE- dispensed with.
A bill was to have been fixed up icst
night, but it failed to Flnateriaiize. The
most Of the Jay was spent by the senate
in secret session. The nomination IF Van

6rmed.

The following letter charging the
whisky trust with resorting to most des-
perate means OF destroying competition
was received by Chairman Poyntz today:
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 1, '93.
Charles poyntz, Esq:
DEAR SIR: Among the business me-
thods of the whisky trust now being in
vestigated at Washington, none are more
important than their methods of sup
pressing competition. l was employed
BY the secretary of the D. & G. F. COM
pany for large sum OF money to destroy
their great Chicago rival. He furnished
me apparatus to place under a tub and
start a fire which would have swept the
plant to destruction. He was arrested
and speedily indicted. The trust lawyers
were always on hand to see that no hear
ing was had, and after much putting off
the case was finally dropped.
Myself and others with indisputable
evidence have always been ready to testify
and have the facts today. / have sent a
strong recommendation TO Mr.. Burrows
OF the congressional committee. VIII
YOU please have the methods of suppress
ing competition brought to the notice of
the committees of both houses of Congress
and Senate.
Very respectfully yours,
T. s. DEwAR,
Mt. Lookout station "C,'' Cincinnati.
1t will be remembered that these charges
were made against the trust some time
ago and were then fully aired in the pub
lie press. The distillery, which attempt
it was said was made to destroy, was the
great Shufeldt concern.
