WHISKY TRUST IN A BAD WAY.
Five Rig Disfiiicrses Withdraw From
the Cnua btne.

PEORIA. Ills, Nay si.-A movement
which viii probably result in the disrup-
ton of the whisky trust was inaugurated
here yesterday. when President Green
hut was served with Official notice of the
withdrawal of the Union, Grove, Nam
haitian. Peoria and Northern distilleries
from the combine. The basis of such
withdrawal is that the rental has not been
paid by the company since last August.
Samuel Woolner, r.. $. Esston. John III.
Francis and II. and ]. Schwabachcr. all
prominent distillers, are the prime movers.
The notice announced that these gem
tlemen will assume control Of Qheir
properties tomorrow. One OF them
this evening said it was their intention To
continue their houses in operation inde-
pendent of the trust. and supply the trado
formerly held
The reason assigned for this course is
the suit Of the attorney general. II Is ex.
pected that other houses will adopt tho
same course. and altogether the prospects
for the trust are anything but bright.

many years the single iron stdewheel
STEAMER Michigan, which now rates
6s5 tons, and carries four howitzeEs.
Now Let as see what Great Britain has.
There are tho two gunbosts Constance
and Curiew, launched this year, and
which have just gone into winter quar-
ters. A third gunboat, the Petrol,
launched on Owen sound during the
month of November last will not be COM
missioned before the opening of spring
navigation She Is now at the yards Of
her builders, at Owen Sound, and will
receive her battery during the present
winter. The British will keep the Con-
stance and Curlew in commission
throughout the winter. Both ships viii
be ready for active service at any mo-
ment. The Petrol when commissioned
will also remain continuously in service.
This is the first time In the history of
Great Britain's control of Canada that
three modern highly efficient gunboats
have been deemed necessary for the
protection of Caueda's lake frontier.
There was nuch secrecy surrounding
the construction of the ships, and care
was taken to avoid their inspection by
outsiders. 1t would appear that Great
Britain's policy is that of a general de-
Tense of the Canadian frontier and is
the direct outcome of the growing an
nexation feeling, both in Canada and
in the United States
For military purposes England must
hold Canada at all hazards. It gives
her dockyartl at Esquimault, her only
naval station on the eastern side of the
Pacific, and it enables her to send
troops to India and her other Asiatic
possessions by the Canadian Pacific
railroad through her own territory.
The armament Of the Petrol is evi-
IDENTIFY meant for aggressive purposes.
She wiz carry in her battery one
47-inch Maxim-Nordenteldt rapid-ire
supplemented by battery Of 6-pounder
Maxim-Norclenfeldt guns The 4T-inch
inch Eihe throws q projectile weighing
Is pounds distance Of five miles at h
rate Of fire OF IS shots per minute, The
6-pounder Observation-Disclosures gun can
throw Is shots per minute and con
pierce finch steel plates at a range of
100 yards The ether boats have similar
batteries. Thus, in the event of a war
with the United States, cities like
Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland
would be at the mercy of Great Britain
and we should be practically powerless.
To oppose the immense British feet
which could be brought into the lakes
the United States has the three revenue
cutters, johnson, Fessenden and Perry,
and the very weak war vessel MickE
gan. The situation would indeed be
very serious were il not for the happy
thought of Mr.. J. II. Ashley, Jr., the
