BLOW TO WHISKY MEN.
Decision by Secretary Carlisle on
Reimport Duties Which VIII
Cost Them Dear.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-Secretary
Carlisle today rendered decision on the
question of the proper duty to be assessed
on re-imported domestic spirits. The sec
rotary holds that such spirits, after being
withdrawn from bond after the date upon
which the new tariff act went into effect,
August %, is subject to a duty equal to
the internal revenue tax imposed by that
act, namely, S1.10 per gallon. The con-
tention Of the importers was that the duty
TO be assessed should equal the rate OF
internal revenue tax in force at the date
of re-importation, which in this particular
case was 80 tents per gallon The se ea
paid at the time of importation, which
was prior to August 2S the duty would
have been imposed according to the rate
of internal revenue tax existing at that
date. It is learned that this decision
will affect vers large quantities: of spirits
which were exported just prior to the
three-year bonded period and subsequently
imported in order to take advantage OF
the additional bonded period permitted by

adjustment of the tariff and cheaper raw
materials certainly assure.
Cleveland Endorsed.
We concur with President Cleveland that
the new tariff law does not embody the full
issue of tariff reform, but with him also
we endorse its provisions for cheaper and
freer raw materials and lower taxes as
substantial recognition of Democratic princi-
plies, and we bespeak for the law an inn
partial trial confident that its successful
operation will convince the people of the
them to demand its proper extension a While
fayoring therefore such wise modification
and readjustment of particular schedules, by
the enactment of separate bills. as future
conditions and the fulhlment of Democratic
pledges may require, we deprecate pending
a fair trial of the law by actual operation
any further general tariff revision which
under present conditions would be likely to
retard Improvement in business and thereby
prOlong the evils brought upon the country
by the Republican folly.
We commend the enactment by the Demo-
cratic Congress of the measures of public
Importance demanded by the people, par
ticularly the repeal of the federal election
law and the stringent legislation for the
suppression of trusts.
We reaftirm the declaration Of principles
contained in the Democratic national plat
form of 1892 and we reiterate the express
sions of recent Democratic state platforms
in favor Of honest money, economy In pup
lie expenses, just and liberal provision for
all disabled Union soldiers, their widows
ana dependents, ana Slr1cL aQnorence 70 luS
true principles of civil-service reform.
We commend the efforts made by the sem
ators and representatives in Congress from
this state to avert the imposition of the
present income tax, and we record our re-
greet that the reform of the tariff to which
all Democrats were committed by which all
Democrats were embarrassed by ENGRAVING
ON its provisions direct tax to which many
Democrats were strenuously opposed
The platform then demands the rigid en-
forcement of the laws to prevent and con-
troll trusts. 1t heartily endorses the hon

dent Cleveland" and pledges their ear

enactment of Democratic measures and
the carrying out of Democratic policies

The remainder of the platform is devoted
to state issues. closing with an endorse

SALE OF POLICE PROTECTION
Detective Matt Pinkerton'S SenSa-
tionaI Testimony Before the
Grand jury.

Chicago. H., Sept. 29.-Sensational tes-
timony has been brought out in connec-
ton with the war of the Civic federation
on gamblers and gambling in Chicago
Evidence has been submitted that Mayor
John T. Hopkins has accepted money
from keepers of gambling houses in eX-
change for police protection OF gaming
resorts. Two attempts. it is also shown
today, have been made to assassnate the
judge before whom the gambling cases
are brought and from whom the gambling
fraternity knows it can expect no mercy
when jury pronounces them guilty.
1t is said another body than the grand
jury and the Civic federation will eX-
explode a big bomb in the anti-sambllng
agitation The Trade and Labor assembly,
1T is reported, is to start crusade
against heightened gambling. The board
of trade it is said is to be attacked,
and Washington park race track is also
a place where rich people bet their
money. Club walters. it is claimed. will
reveal secrets, and card games on Michi-
gan boulevard as well as on Clark street
will be given publicity.
During the investigation today Detect
i've Matt Pinkerton swore that he had
positive evidence showing that Mayor
Hopkins had received money from the
gamblers Mr. Pinkerton said the money
was given by the gamblers with the I'M
Outstanding that they were not to be in
terfered with. The matter was not gone
into thoroughly, but will be made the sub
ject of further investigation.
1t was reported that not only two but
several attempts have recently been made
on the life of Judge Brentano who in his
judicial capacity has ordered the destruc-
tion of paraphernalia taken in raids upon
gambling hells. In one instance. it is
said he was fired upon in his bedcham-
Der The bullets came from across the
way. There is no clue to the would-be
assassin.
The grand jury returned it's final
report today finding twenty indictments
against owners of property used for
gambling rooms. Several prominent peO-
pie wore among those indicted, among
those ]. Irving Pierce, proprietor of the
Sherman house: Owen F. Adds. the we'll
known capitalist, and James K. Todd, Il
wealthy real estate dealer. The grand
jury will be reconvened and the investi-
CATION carried on backed by the Civic
federation. In addition to the property
owners about fifty men were Indicted
charged with keeping gambling houses
Among thOS indicted was George V.
Hankins owner of the new Harlem race
track, and his business partner, William
Wightman.

Insurance Men Charge Them with CaUs-

Chicago. H., Sept. 2S.-Presi9ent W.
J. Littlejohn of the Underwriters asso-
citation of the Northwest, who III an adj
dress before that organization declared
that the recent forest fires were ordered
started by lumber kings, in an interview
today stated that his charges were based
on investigations made under his dlrec-
ton.
'"These fires have occurred every year"
said Mr.. Littlejohn, land it was apparent
that there must be some motive for the
incendialism. Our company accordingly
sent men into Michigan and Wisconsin
this summer to make Investigations, and
they secured sufficient evidence to satisfy
me.
In my own mind some of the big lum-
Der dealers fired the forest in order to
hide the evidences of their timber stead
ings. The evidence is not sufficiently
strong to warrant charging any particular
men with the deeds, however
Il am informed that the states of Mich
igan and Wisconsin have appointed secret
commissions to investigate the hres. m
til we know that such is the case and
what are the results to follow the work
of the state authorities the insurance or
ganizatons will do nothing. There is q
possibility. however, that in the event OF
the failure of these commissions to de-
velop the matter some OF the insurance
unions viii take up the prosecution them
selves.
Il am confident that the state authors
ties can secure all the necessary evidence
if they try, for the slight investigation l
have already made convinces me that
there are wealthy lumbermen who should
be made to suffer for the horror and de-
structon Of this years fires"
