A BIG GLASS MOVE
The United Glass Company Will Con-
Centrate Its Interests in
The GREAT INDIANA GAS BELT.
Half Dozen Factories Will Be
Abandoned in Different Parts
Of the Country-The New Plant
Will be an -eunense Affair.
Big Grants to the Company.

OTTAWA, Ills, February 4.-Presl-
dent Catlin, of the United Glass Com
pany, made an important statement this
evening as TO the future workings of
that company. Said he:
cit is true that we have been fgur-
ing on a great many changes, and have
at last decided upon a plan OF action:
We have been granted the natural
gas franchise on several thous-
and acres Of land at Alexandria in the
natural gas belt in Indiana. The pro-
motors OF new town have also given
US several acres Of land on which to To-
cate our factories aud we shall at once
begin the erection OF tank
house furnace at this point.
One tank will be erected
this summer and put IN operation with
the opening Of the fall of 1898 trade.
Another will be built during the spring
of 1894, and we expect to make these
works the central figure OF the
United Class Company's industries.
Perhaps the most unfortunate condi-
ton of affairs is the fact that we are
obliged TO abandon several OF our works.
All that is movable OF the factories at
Bowling Green, GAINESVILLE, o., Wells
boro aud BlossburR, Pa, Durham
Vile, Dunbsrton, Burnhart's Bay and
Clyde, N. Y, will be abandoned. This
will, of course, concentrate a great
many laborers at the new town OF Alex
andria which was started about year
ago and now has over 1000 popuIa-
tfOD In addition to the franchise
and realty grant above mentioned, we
have been given side tracks to three
trunk lines Of railroads. and many 9TH
er advantages that make the move one

WASHINGTON, February 4.-The In
vestgation into the Whisky trust was
begun to-day by the subcommittee OF
the House Judiciary Committee with
with the examination o. James NJ. VeG-
zey, Of Hamilton county, Ohio. Mr..
Veazey has been a travelling salesman
since 1878 and is acquainted with the
details of the liquor business. He ex-
planned the difference between whiskies,
spirits and high wines. The Distilling
and Cattle Feeding Company had head
quarters at Peoria, Ill. He did not
know the exact number OF establish
ments il emcraced but when formed in
1889 it included eighty-one firms II
produced alcohol, spirits and high
wines. The company had a system OF
rebate certificates by which 1t
sold It's goods. Persons holding these
certificates are allowed rebate
Of Z cents per gallon on spirits and from
10 to IA cents per gallon on alcohol.
The rebate is paid only in case firms
deal entirely with the company. These
certificates are distributed by agents
and are payable in Peoria. The com
pany's goods are sold generally through
out the country and their output repre-
sented one-half of this business in this
country. The price OF whisky had in
creased 25 cents q gallon when a great
quantity of these certificates were out.
There was no occasion for this increase
it was grab. There had been no in
crease Of cost OF production or wages,
and corn from which their product is
made, is cheaper than it has been for
years.

A SLEEK SWINDLE.
Three New York sharps Work Plumbing
Supply Men for Some Big Notes.


CHICAGO, February An evening
paper prints the following:
Several Chicago banks have had
close shave from being swindled out OF
amounts ranging from $1,000 to Sc, 600
by trio of bold schemers from New
York.
The story is given out that two sharp
ers from New York approached
Mr.. Scott, Of the Illinois
Bath Tub Company, and pro-
posed that they form a gigantic com
pany and enlarge the present capacity
The trio visited +. H. Holton, Of the
firm of Holton & Co., plumbers sup
plies, Boston, and after dilating upon
the exclusive Eastern control, offered
him the exclusive Eastern control OF
the bath tub if he would take $4,000
worth of stock. Ealton was 10 give
9O-day notes for $50, 900.
The men interested in the Manhattan
Plumb ber's Supply Company, of New
York, were similarly induced to sign
notes for $50, 900. T. ii. Mills, the big
plumber and supply man of Philadel-
phia, was next visited and he is said to
have signed papers TO the extent OF
$50, 600. Then the trio sang the same
tale Of riches to plumbing supply men
OF Utica, Rochester, Pittsburg and 9TH
er eastern cities. Then they came to
Chicago with over 100000 worth Of
discOuntable paper in their grlp-sacks.
Before the operators were headed of
they had discounted over $4,000 of II.
Mills and Holton, it is said, met in
New York and discovered that the same
things had been promised both Of them.
They at once sent an attorney to CHI
cago to look after their notes, and he
induced the banks to have the notes
held against the cash balances. This
so alarmed the trio that its members
departed at once.

There is probability that the Anti

Hatch, who Is in charge Of the bill, to
report il 70 the House on Monday, and
secure its consideration under suspen-

measure have been busy among the
members on the floor and claim to have
secured the signatures Of one hundred
men who say they will vote against the
passage OF the bill. There are forty
eight absenJees, most Of whom are
either opposed to or lukewarm in sup
port Of she Anti-OptiOn bill and they are
likely to remain away. As there are
only 335 members in the entire House,
il will ce readily seen that II these
claims Of the opponents Of the measure
are correct, Mr.. Hatch will not be able
to secure the necessary two thirds TO
pass the bill on Monday.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February A.
The first interview between Secretary
Foster and the Hawaiian Island COM
missioners was held in the diplomatic
parlor OF the State Department this
morning between 10 and IL o'clock and
lasted half an hour.
There was present Secretary Foster
and Solicitor Partridge, representing
the United States, and MessrS. ThurstOn,
Wilder, Castle, Marsden and Carter,
the Hawaiian commissioners; Mr.. Kin
ney, OF Salt Lake City. who is present
with them as unofficial adviser, and DR..
Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister.
Mr.. Thurston, on behalf of his aSso-
ciates, presented their credentials from
President Dole, Of the provisional gov
ernment. and supplemented them with
brief statement OF the events OF the
Islands which were the cause Of their
visit.
Secretary Foster responded in few
words OF welcome, stating that the rea-
son for the erraud was well-knOwn 90

they discussed the question Of making

The second interview between the
Hawaiian Annexation Commissioners
And the Secretary OF State, held at the
State Department at o'clock this az
ternoon, was even shorter than the con-
ference of this morning and quite as
unproductive In results. There was
some informal talk over the annexation
proposition, and this was concluded by
an agreement that Secretary Foster
should again meet the commissioners on
Tuesday morning next for an extended
conference.
The commissioners, while they are
saving very little on the subject, inti-
mate that they feel very much encour-
aged.
No arrangement has been made for
their reception by President Harrison,
but this will probably take place in a
few days, as the recognition OF the new
government by this country removes
any hesitation the President mi ht feel

:. WoRnD's. FAIR, CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-
No award has ever been made so gratifying
to st. Louis people and so Justly merited
as the one given to-day by the Columbian
jury of the Worlds Fair, consisting Of con-
noisseurs and chemists Of the highest rank,
to the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associa-
ton. BY methods of unrivalled business
enterprise, and by using the best material
produced in America and Europe, exclud-
ing corn and other adulterants or surro-
gates, the different kinds of the Anheuser-
Busch beer have become the favorites with
the American peorle, and have now con-
quered the highest award in every particu-
lar, which had to be considered by the
Columbian jury. The high character of
the award given to-day by the jurors will
be better understood when 1t is known that
the different beers exhibited by the An
heuser-Busch Brewing Association had to
compete with hundreds of the most excel
lent displays of other brewers. The fact
that no other concern has received so
many points for the various essential quail
tiles of good beer confirms anew the firm s
reputation as the leader of all American
beers, and Mr.. Adolphus Busch can feel
proud over this result so justly merited.
