Of the Whiskey Trust adjourned at noon to-day
President Greenhut left here for New-York to-
night Before leaving. he said he thought an ad-

"The Trust will close down all of its distilleries

do with the quarrels OF It's patrons. AS long as
the Western distillers do not unite we will treat
them separately. We have agreed 10 indorse the
rebate voucher. Thirty thousand dollars worth OF
cattle will be turned out this season. The Trust
now owns over twenty disteres, and In June sew
erai more will probably be added TO the list The
Trust will save annually 81 900 by the new Taxa

Cripple Creek. Col. May 25.-striking miners
to-day destroyed much property near this thrV-
ing little mining town but Notwithstanding that
many conflicts seemed inevitable all were luckily
averted and no blood shed. Tonight all is quiet,
but hostilites will doubtless be renewed in the
morning Last February the miners here struck
against the Inauguration of the nIne-hour day.
They asked 50 for eight hours work, or pay ac-
corlingly for a nne-hour day This the owners
refused. and the mines were closed. The owners
waited some time for a break In the strikers
ranks but this failing to materialize. they re-
quested the State 10 send deputies for the pro-
lection Of non-unon men, with which they pro-
posed to open one mine. the Independence. as
tcst Il those working the mine were interfered
with. the deputies were to arrest the trouble
makers. and thus have basis for action In the
courts.
Last night. about 10 o'clock, seventy deputies
left here to guard the Mines about four miles
distant at Victor. Twenty OF them were sur
rounded there and their arms and ammunition
taken away. Twenty-thrce managed to reach
the Independence mine. where they remained
until II O'Clock to-day. At that hour the SHAFT
house was surrounded by 300 armed men and the
alternative submitted to the deputies to stack
their arms and surrender or be blown up win

and fuses attached and ready for business on an
adjoining hill. The guards agreed To leave ana
were escorted about mill by a heavy guard
and then permitted To- return 10 the city. Tne
