BIG WHISKY DEAL.
Proposition to Corner Two-Thirds Of
the Business in America

New York. June 3.-The Journal and
Advertiser tomorrow win say:
For two hours yesterday afternoon five
telegraph instruments licked off private
message of over 10.oce words from Louis
vile, TO New York capitalists message
involving one of the most gigantic
schemes devised
Great financial interests here are deep
in cogitation over a proposition TO cor
ner two-thirds of the whisky in the
United States They are contemplating
the formation of a pool 10 buy up So
u00c00 gallons of whisky now in bond in
the state of Kentucky.
The plan necessarily involves advancing
the price of whisky. Among the other
reasons urged IS the statement that the
banks which hare loaned money on the
liquor held in bond are afraid of a decline
in price. which would affect the money
they have already loaned All efforts to
ascertain the financial interests here
which were considering the proposition
We're fruttleSS yesterday. The plan is
said to have originated with Samuel R.
Rice. president of the American Spirits
Manufacturing company. which sue
ceeded the old whisky trust Jules S
Bache. of the banking house of J. S
Bache & Co, and vice-pressdent of the
American Spirits Manufacturing COM
pany admitted yesterday that such 4
message bad been received. but refused to
divulge its contents.
The plan outlined was learned from
another source. The price which the syn
dictate would have to pay would range
from 80 cents to $3.50 per gallon. the aver
age cost. II is believed. to be about 81
cents. At this rate the amount of money
required to carry this stock of whisky

We do not question the right of the
Oregon Short Line to make other con-
necd6ns, but we have been disposed to
c.dticise the formation OF suci connec-
tons while negotiations with the Union
Pacific were in progress, while the con-
structive mileage was being allowed,
and while the Union Pacific was under
obligations TO give undivided support
to the Short Line. When the policy of
the Short Line became apparent we set
about making new connections, and
they are now established. The exist
ing conditions do not at all preclude
our giving business to the Short Line
or taking business from il. but of
course the constructive mileage, which
was quite an important factor in the
case, ceases TO exist. The Short Line,
of course. intends to make ITS connec-
ton with the Rio Grande Western, but
whether this will prove as advantage
Gus as the arrangement which has been
in existence with the Union Pacific re-
mains to be seen. We shall get little
longer haul on the Pacific coast bust
ness by delivering into Ogden than we
have had by delivery TO the Short Line
at Granger"

its beard, declares its willingness TO

breaking fishermen then stand by the
opening and catch all the fish that pass
out, While the small stream of water
that the company could let so would
be insufficient for the fish TO protect
themselves in. The streams that run
into the lake are very small, and the

lily the prey OF men and fish devouring
animals, so they have no place OF
safety in which 10 spawn. The ordinary
salary paid a county fish and game
warden is not sufficient TO justify his
watching and protecting the fish all the
time, so, if the lovely trout Of that

BLOCKED THE INVESTIGATION.
Union Stock Yards Company Refuses
TO Produce It's Books.


Chicago. June al. c. Denison, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company.
blocked the investiga ton of the Inter
state commerce commission today. by
refusing to produce before the COM
mittee the books and records of his
corporation.
Mr.. Newlin. of the Texas Cattle
Growers association asked the COM
mission TO issue a subpoena to COM
pei the secretary to produce them.
Attorney Babcock claimed that the
Union Stock Yards and Transit COM
pany was an Illinois corporation doing
business entirely in Cook county. and
that the commission had nothing to do
with its affairs. Chairman Morrison
said that he considered the Union
though an Illinois corporation, was
handling interstate business and hence
was subject to an inquiry by the COM
mission. However, he said. his asso-
ciates did not agree with him, hence
no subpoena would be issued.
The object of the efforts to bring IN
books and records was to show that
the railroads formerly held the stock
and organized the Stock Yards COM
pany. and Mr.. Newlin was DESTROYS of
showing the relations of these roads
and this company at the present time.
Secretary Denison stated that the
Stock Yards company had no con-
tracts with any of the railroads and,
so far as he knew. never had any. He
said he would gladly furnish the names
of the organizers and directories
down to the present and Information
in regard 10 capital stock, etc.
