WHISKY TRUST.
A Motion Restraining the Reorganiza-
ton Committee Denied.

New York, Aug. 13.-Justice O'Brien.
in supreme court chambers this morning,
handed down decision denying the mo-
ton for an injunction to restrain the
reorganization committee of the Distill-
ing and Cattle Feeding company from
purchasing or acquiring the property of
the trust, which was advertised to be
sold tomorrow. The motion for an in
junction was brought by Fred X. w.
Annes and George N. Pynchon, who rep
resent $4,000 worth of stock in the
trust They contended that the purchase
by the reorganization committee would
perpetuate the trust, which had been de-
clared an illegal monopoly by the supreme
court of the State of Illinois. Louis
Marshall of the firm of Guggenheimer
Untermoier & Marshall, counsel for the
plaintiffs in the injunction proceedings
against the reorganization committee,
said while he expected the injunction re-
straining the committee from purchasing
the property and plant of the whisky
trust would have been granted he was
in no wise discouraged. Further pro-
ceedings will be taken, he says, within q
day or two to prevent the consummation
OF the objects of the reorganization COM
mittee from being effected, but what
shape these proceedings will assume he
was not prepared to state.

"One of the most striking differences

that prefer the method OF our congress
MIR. Crisp also said: After GdJ0urn-
ment, Mr.. Gully had me escorted 10 Nhe
floor of the house and introduced me 10
the leading members. l afterwards found
myself in an extremely handsome room,
which | supposed was part of The lobby
of tbe house. but Mr. Gully said It was tine
private dining room of his official resi-
dnncn There we We're Joined by Slr
Henry Cabot Lodge and Mr.. Henry
White ex-secretary of the United States
embassy. ~. A..
We were all escorted to the public din
ing room of THE speaker in which we We're
introduced to his wife. Mrs. Gully rs a
most affable lady. The room was crowded
with ladies. who were waiting to person
ally congratulate Mr.. Gully upon his cleo
ton.
"a fter leaving the speakers residence,
Mr., White took Sir Lodge and myself to
phe house of commons and introduced us
to many Of the leaders, and we next were
taken TO Mr. BalfOur's and introduced
to him. He is a man of much personal
and impresSes one Immediately
as s.rikngly intellectual. Although he
did not appear to be so, / knew he was
and SO did mot think it the proper
occasion to breach the subject Of bjmet-
alism.
GAS Mr. Gully had not hetn re-
elected when first saw him, he was not
in official dress. made a remlrk ON this
subject to him, and he said tomorrow he.
would only be i'm half dress with a half
wig. as his election would then only be
half approved. On Wednesday however;
his election will have been fully approved
and he will wear his full official attire.
All this strikes me as strange.
Mr.. Crisp starts for Paris tonight and
viii remain there week.

THE A. 2. A. POLICE COMMISSION
BOARD OF OMAHA HAS MA
TURED PLANS.
THE OLD BOARD NOTIFIED no
TURN OVER PROPERTY.
Today at 10 O'clock THE Hour Is Set
To Enforce the Demand-The Old
Regime Shows No Signs of
Weakening.

Omaha, Aug. 13.-No demonstration has
been made in the police row but the plans
are all matured for 1.-The A. p. A. board to
attempt to enforce it's authority at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning. With this
object in view the A. p. A. board has
served formal notice ON the old board.
manning that hour and date as suitable
time to receive from it the records, prom
erty and rooms that properly belong to
us as THE lawful board of fire and police
commissioners"
LIN the meantime the old commissioners
Twill not change its course, but goes ON re-
Enforcing the city Jail and preparing to re-
rist an assault. This is certain evidence
that q conflict will result, SINCE the old
board will not surrender.
A LATER REPORT.
Omaha, Aug. 13.-Tonight it is quite
evident that Omaha is ON the verge of n.
indications point to a serious conflict at
10 O'Clock tomorrow, when the A. 2. A.
commission will attempt to take forcible
possession of the city property.
Ihe police commission now in authority
lreplied ito the A. p. A. manifesto and de-
clared that while they deplored possible
conflict they were legally conducting the
affair." of the police department of Omaha
and that if the "A. p. A. police commission
disputes their authority they have re-
course an the courts to get possession.
The fire and police force members all re
ceived letters today to visit the offices of
the A. p. "A. board tomorrow and recog-
nize their authority or be discharged. A
few members of the force will probably
do so. but the majority will ignore the
letters and act under the present commits
sion. Chief of Police White replied to
the A. p. A. communication, refusing to
recognize any authority but that estab-
lished by the State law.
The city tonight is much excited. There
is a feeling, however that the new board
will not carry out its threat OF putting
a force on duty tomorrow Fit is not i'm
probable that if the plans are completed
a conflict between tire old and new officers
will ensue.
In the event of amy disturbance the char
liter constitutes the mayor of che city as
chief in control of the police, his au-
ortty overriding that of the police COM
miSsioners. Both forces would therefore
be under his control. Efforts ere being
made tonight by the best element in the
city, to bring about peaceful termination
IOf the quarrel and it is not improbable that
Ithey will succeed.

| Two new bales of cotton were reported
at Savannah today. This is the first OF the

A noticeable change has taken place in

rains fall in Texas we are likely to have

The dispensary case now is on its
way to the United States Supreme
Court, and although it is a little uuu-
sual to predict decisions Of court. q
good many are of the opinion that
Judge Simontou's decision will be sus-
taiped.
Attorney General Barber has been
waiting for several days for the proper
papers to come up from Charleston in
the case of Constable Beach, now 10 Jail

The papers came up yesterday aud the
Attorney General at once left for Wash.
iugtou to make application for writ
Of habeas corpus. by which means it is
proposed to.briug the entire case up for
a final hearing and determination.
There is scarcely doubt that the writ
will be issued as matter of course.
and then there will be day fixed for
the hearing Of the case in full. It is
the purpose Of the State to ask for as
early hearing as possible, aud the
hope is that the case can be disposed Of
within the next twenty days.
The progress of the case is being
watched with the keepest interest all
over the Union, for upon the decision of
the highest court in the land, it is
thought, will rest the future of the dis
pensary system is this country. The
fight before the United States Supreme
