Revenue Rafd-DistfiIery Broken Up.

Deputy Marshal John r. Upchurch
was perambulating through the market
one day last week and accidentally over
heard two countrymen talking Of a
moonshine distillery just over the Wake
line in Granvil e. He laid by until he

church left for the scene of action
They went as straight as they could to
the house of Frank P. Beck in Dutch
vile township, Granville county, and in
about two hundred yards of his house
they found the moonshine manufacturing
establishment. They cut up the still
which was not running and no one wa
at it. Several hundred gallons of beel
ready for dlstillstion was poured out
The officers searched Beck's dwelling
house ana found in an addenda, which
he had lately built, signs of where still
had been run as was said during the re
cert big snow.
The officers returned yesterday after
noon sore and tired, and officer Levi
brought piece of the copper still as
ephy of the raid.

All Offers of Compromise Rejected--.
A Fight To the Finish.

WASHINGTON, March By practi-
cally unanimous vote the republican
c4ucus has decided to reject all offers of
c)mprom Sc and conte st the proposed
democratic reorganization of the elective
officers of the senate to end. The
caucus was largely attended, but was of
short duration Naturally there was q
division of sentiment as to what was best
to be done under the circumstances, but
those in favor of contesting the proposed
organization were largely in the major
lty. The vote taken was decisive and
1t ,s probable that at the next executive
session the ultimatum of the caucus will
be given to the democrats. An effort
will then be made to settle the matter
behind closed doors, and that failing,
the fight will be transferred to the open
session.
The republicans claim that they are
right and when one of the leading sena
tors was asked what it meant, he replied
that it meant fight to the fnish An
amusing feature. of the case is that the
republicans think the democrats will not
insist On proceeding at this time and the
| democrats assert that the republicans
will grow tired of the struggle in day
or two. 1t is probable that no more
caucuses on this subject will be held by
either party.

The Government Sustained.

PARIS, March 23.-The government
was again successful in the chamber of
deputies today. A critical debate was
expected in the chamber on the question
offered by Deputy Lucien Millevoye as
to what further action the government
intended to take in regard to the bribery
and frauds shown to have been perpe
trated in connection with the Panama
canal enterprise. The enemies OF the
government hoped that the discussion
might lead to the overthrow OF the min
istry. but after some exciting speeches
the government succeeded in carrying
the order of the day by show of hands
which proved the attack on the ministry
to be hopeless for the time at least.
