FALL or THE WHISKY TRUST
Application Made for n Dissolution
of the Receivershfp.

Application Made for a Dissolution
of the Receivershfp.
Chicago. Jan. 31.-Judge Grosscup this
morning named Saturday for hearing the
counsel on both sides of the whisky trust
controversy on the motion made on behalf
of the majority stockholders for dissou-
tion of the receivership instituted Monday
Judge Grosscup in announcing the date
said: THE bill filed in this case was on be-
half of the stockholders. 1t was very vol
luminous, but the gist of it was that the
DlstilIers and Cattle Feeding Company
had assets throughout the United States
and was practically insolvent. 1t was
further set forth that unless the admin
istration of this company was put into
the hands of receivers, injury would re-
suit. The situation set forth in the bill
was such that it was necessary that an
order should be entered and action taken
Immediately. To publish this to the world
would be to bring on the attacks which
the bill sought to avoid. 1t was necessary
that the company should be brought into
the shelter of o court of equity. a petit
ton has now been brought by other stock
holders which claims that the parties who
made application for the receiVership rep
resented but a small portion of the stock
holders. They ask that under these cir
cumstances the court hear them on an ap-
plicadon to dissolve the receivership.
win therefore appoint Saturday morning
as the date to hear this case. and I will
require Mr.. Greenhut and Mr. Lawrence,
the two receivers, to be in court in per
SON."
Attorney Mayer asked if matters were
to be permitted to remain in statu quo.
To this Judge Grosscup replied: Il shall
expect to order whatever action is to be
taken by these receivers before this time"
Permission was asked for the Shufeldt
distillery TO be granted permission to dis
count certain papers on the ground that
the firm needed the money but Judge
Grosscup refused to permit this.
''You must understand, gentlemen" he
said that under the circumstances can
allow no move TO be made in this matter
until I settle the question of the receiv-
ership."
Attorney Runnels protested, but it did
no good. Subpoenas will be issued for all
the officers OF the whisky trust to appear
in court Saturday morning.
Attorneys for the majority stockholders
have no doubt that Judge Grosscup viii
dissolve the receivership Saturday morn
ing after hearing both sides of the case.
Among those present in court this morn
ing was Nelson Morris. the millionaire
packer, whose interests in the whisky
trust are said to be Identical with those
Of President Greenhut but who denies
that this is so. Mr. Morris was personally
represented by counsel, who, however,
took no part in the proceedings.

The Chinese soldiers accepted their
fate from the outset, after their first de-
cisive experience; resistance TO the en-
envy never really entered their minds,
their sole preoccupation being to make
room for the enemy as he advanced,
while keeping up some form Of fight
ing. This relation between the two ar
mics became so well understood before
the close OF the war that the Japanese
commanders were wont to send word to
the Chinese that they would attack such
a point at such a time, when the Chinese
General would place his main body in
neutral position, leaving q small detach-
ment TO FIRE off some cartridges for the
flag and retire.
This incredible procedure is quite II

DEATH OF ALLEN q. THURMAN.

Allen G.. Thurman died ct Columbus,
Ohio, on the afternoon Of the 18th inst.
The immediate cause Of death was the
fall he sustained some weeks ago, from
the effects Of which he only partially re-
covered.
Allen G.. Thurman was born at Lych-
burg. Va, November Is, 1918. and was a de.
scendant Of Joseph Hewes, one of the sign.
ers Of the Declaration of Independence.
Removed with his parents to Ohio when
six years old. He was admitted to the
hnE. in 1885 and was elected a Represent.
alive in Congress in 1874. He served
one term, declining q denomination. In
1851 he was elevated to the Supreme
Bench Of Ohio and for two years was
Chief Justice of that tribunal. He wat
the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio against r. B. Hayes in 1866, but
was defeated. He was elected United
States Senator in 1869 and reelected il
1874. As Senator he made q record
which commanded the admiration Of ever
his political opponents and endeared him
self to the hearts Of the people as few
public men have. At tn. national Dem
ocratio Conventions of 1876. 1880 ant
1854 he was mentioned in connection
with the Presidential nominations, ant
in 1888 be was made the candidate Of thu
party for Vice President. Even Thur.
mans strong popularity could not pull
Cleveland out Of the mire Of public con-
demnation in which the man of destin!
was at that time, and the ticket was de-
feated. Thurman has since remained .
his home in Columbus, Ohio, where b,
resided since 1853.

a wARLrKE APPEARANCES.

President Cleveland sent q special mes.
sage to Congress on the Venezuelan ques.
zion last Tuesday, in which he says the
British Government refuses to submit
the boundary dispute to arbitration.
The President upholds the Monroe doc
trine and ssys il can never become obso-
lete while the Republic endures, and
recommends the adoption Of vigorous
measures to maintain it in the settle
ment Of the dispute. The President
. "Having lsbored faithfully for
many years to induce Great Britain to
submit this dispute to impartial srbitrs-
tion, and having been finally Z 'prised Of
her refusal to do so. nothing remains but
to accept the situation. to recognize it's
plain requirements and deal with il ac-
~cordingly." While the stand taken by
this Government is . strong one, and
while also the sentiment contained in
the demand is voiced by a remarkably
bold man-eve the Presidents enemies
admit him to be such-we are among
those who do not believe that war with
Great Britain is imminent. Diplomacy
will no doubt step in at the proper time
and avert il. Some way. we feel certain,
will be found 60 avoid an appeal to arms.
That the United States will insist that
the Monroe doctrine be respected and
that the people Of this country ire
spective Of party will sustain the Pres
ident 10 the position he has taken,
there is not the least doubt. That Eng
land will recede from the imperious
stand she has taken is equally true.

Anew York dispatch Of the 18th inst.
gives the particulars OF the formation OF
the greatest trust Of modern times. IL
received it's finishing touches on the l4th
when the railway magnates OF the new
traffic association met in New York city
to appoint the Board Of Managers and
elect three Commissioners. The Board
Of Managers held a prolonged executive
session. The nine systems in the board
we're represented. This association N
braces all Of the railroads between Chi.
caeo. st. Louis and the Atlantic sea-
board. In the face Of this gigantic COM
biuation Of capital all other trusts fade
into insigni6csnce. This pool repre-.
SCENTS more than one billion five hun
dred million dollars in capital.
The affairs Of the association are to be
administered by 9 board Of arbitrators
and q board OF control. The association
will have Jurisdiction over all traffic.
passenger and freight to. from or
through the western termini Of the trunk
lines. The board Of control is composed
of the Presidents of all the roads, and il
fixes the salaries Of commissioner and all
employees. The board Of managers con-
sists Of nine men-one appointed by each
Of the nine systems embraced in the trust.
The managers pass on all applications for
all changes in rates, fares and rules. Their
action upon all questionsexcept as to rates
and fares is subject to appeal to the arbi-
traitors, but upon rates and fares the only
appeal is to the board Of control. Any
violation Of the agreement is punishable
by q fine. The agreement is for five years
from January lst next.
The power Of this organization is be-
yond estimate. If it stands the tests OF
law it will work q revolution in trans.
portation interests. The stated object
Of the combination is to make the stocks
and bonds which represent this fabulous
capital pay better dividends.
The six railway "kings" responsible
for this scheme are Chauncey NJ. Depew
of the New York Central; Sam Sloan,
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western; Geo.
B.. Roberts, Pennsylvania; NJ. r. Ingalls,,
Chesapeake & Ohio and Cincinnati, Chi
cago & st. Louis; E. B. Thomas, Erie;
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson. Grand Trunk.
The total number Of miles Of railroad
which these men represent is 20. 900, and
the different systems employ an army OF
men.
The Eastern telegraph correspondent
Of the Salt Lake Tribune commenting on
the gravity Of this railroad combine,
says: "This pool can by astroke of the pen
by raising rates impose a greater tax on
the American people than any Congress
with a decent regard for its needs would
dream Of levying. If the trust can sue
cessfully overcome legal obstacles, it will.
it is said, do more to hasten Government
ownership Of railroads than all agitation
could do in ten years."
