ton that has been taken against them by

Department Commander Joseph E Cleary,
Of this state, the members of Farnham
post, or the Noah l.. Farnham Independent
Veterans. as they are now called, believe
that the better element of the Grand Army
sympathize with them. The meeting at
which the new organization was perfected
was attended by larger number of mem
bersthan has attended any business meet
ing of the organization for many years.
The commander delivered the report of
the committee which went to Albany and
appeared before the council of administra-
ton to purge Farnham post of contempt.
He said they offered an apology, but re-
fused to rescind the resolutions. The re-
port was adopted by vote of IS to 1G,
after which the motion to form the new
organization was carried. The prevailing
sentiment seems TO be largely in favor Of
carrying the matter to the next national
encampment, but it was finally referred to

cation and were elected.

gan the closing argument for the prosecut-

DR.. Briggs interrupted Colonel McCook to
correct what he claimed was a mistake
made by the latter, and a few moments
later again arose and said: May l ask a

Colonel McCook-You may interrupt me
as often as you please.
Moderator Craig-Dr. Briggs, allowed
you to speak four and half hours with
out interruption.
Dr. Briggs-I wanted to correct a mis-
statement.
Moderator Craig--Colonel McCook heard
you throughout without objection, al
though he might have challenged many of
your statements. Now let him go in
the same way. That is only fair and
proper.
DIR. Briggs-It is understood, then, that
do not consent to the Incorporation of any
misstatement.
Moderator Craig-O, certainly. And do
not suppose that Colonel McCook gave his
assent to score of things you said, but
he bore them well. Colonel McCook will
proceed.
Col. McCook in his argument also re-
cited the history of the case in it's various
stages, and maintained the regularity of
the several steps. Abiding to the remark
of DR.. Briggs that his ecclesiastical life
should not be jeopardized second time,

PEORIA, Ills, May 26.-The board of di.
rectors of the Whisky Trust met again to
consider the situation. While the session
was called principally to take counsel as to
the seeding houses and the quo warranto
proceedings the great question was rs to
the conversion of the vast stock of spirits
and alcohol on hand into money. In this
respect the session was fruitless.
The company has locked up fully 10000
barrels of spirits and alcohol averaging
lightweight taxable gallons to the barrel,
in round numbers about 9, 1850 coo gallons.
These figures represent the enormous sur
plus of goods on which there is daily loss,
and for which there is no present possible
demand.
GreenI.ut Makes a Statement.
After session lasting until night the
board adjourned having formulated the
following for publication: The directors
of the Dstilling and Cattle Feeding COM
pany authorize the following statement:
First-That the company owns and op-
crates its distilleries and that no person or
persons have the power to withdraw any
one of them.
Second-That the company is in actual
possession of all its property, nov Is any of
1t in the possession of any parties except as
managers employed by the company.
Third-1hat the company Is not in de-
fault for rental in any case under the terms
of the lease.
Fourth-The total amount of rents on all
ground leased by the company awaiting
final adjustment before payment does not
exceed at the rate applicable to the first
five-year period $4,000.
This is signed by j. b. Greenhut, presi-
dent, and Il. J. Hennessy, secretary.
II was developed also that large num-
Der of rebates are due, which, owing TO
lack of funds, cannot be paid. The insur-
ance companies are also making trouble
for the trust people in the way of increased
premiums.
Is 1t a WreckinG Plot?
Slowly but surely the opinion gains
ground that the recent developments are
the result of plan which has for its ultl-
mate object the wrecking of the whisky
trust, and there is much in support of this
theory Vast fortunes are at stake, and 1t
will be extremely interesting to see the
way the cases go. The stock is holding up
remarkably we'll, but this is the result of
organization on the part of the holders.
1t Is case of some Peoria distillers
against the financiers of Wall street, and
the outcome is hard to predict. Who is in
the deal to wreck is not known, but if it
can be accomplished there is no doubt this
will be the end
