TOO MUCH SCOTCH WHISKY.
Immense Overproduction During Re
cent Years Had Led to . Crisis
I'm the Trade,

WASHINGTON. Feb. u.-Consul Flern-
ing, from Edinburgh. reports to the state
department serious crisis in the whisky
trade In Scotland. This Ia attributed to the
immense oyerproduetion which has, by
gradual accumulation. placed surplus
stock of over Is, 10000 gallons of whisky
in the bonded warehouses of the United
Kingdom. Years ago tho, large distilleries
under Individual ownership Or in the hands
of afewMeh proved enofniously remunera-
tive. and this tempted the promoter" into
the field.r Within few years the number
Of distilleries in the UnttAdf Kingdom has
reached 1S4, Of which AS are in Scotland.
The new distilleries are nearly all immense
concerns, and production has been pushed
to the utmost. Consequently the supply on
hand has been far ahead Of home consump-
tion and the export trade combined. To
cheaper production. the introduction OF
American Indian corn has been resorted to.
grain spirits being produced at from 2S to 80
whisky. The blends have kept up to the
standard price. averaging 81 gallon in
bond. Under the impression that the mar
ket would expand with production, the dis
tillerieS have been kept running at full Ca
pacity, but the immense surplus has been
more than the trade could carry, and there
has been a sharp break in wholesale prices,
while immense financial interests have been
invoked to prevent a panic in the trade.
The chief American interest at stake Is in
the decrease in the Importation of Ameri-
can corn involved in the reduction OF out

in many years was perpetrated last night,
when a touch of high life In Kansas"

eight officers in the wagonette was held up
three-quarters of a mile from the post by
Lieutenant Marshall, lieutenant Short and

bandits took the ambulance and drove to
the city, to have the joke reach its climax.
The joke was enjoyed as long by the officers

one enjoyed the joke more than the officers

arrived to-day from Genoa, after the long

from Gibraltar to New York was made in
twelve days and seven hours. Terrific gales
were encountered from February to z,
enormous seas frequently sweeping over the
vessel, smashing rails, doors and other
woodwork, Several ventilators were swept
overheard, and two boats were carried from
their chocks. On February 3, Otto Lohse,

For five days the great steamer rolled

Fuerst Bismarck appeared like veritable

The bulwarks and rails were swelled to
enormous proportions, while the bridges
were one solid mass. The crew had to

In order to land the passengers.

High-Toned COlored People.

Washington is overrun just now with
a class Of negroes whom It is almost i'm
possible to distinguish from the whites.
Most of them are well behaved. well dressed
and well formed. and do not bear any Of
the characteristic features OF the negro:
They are seldom seen during the day, and
do not seem to labor. but apparently have
the means to live without working. Their
conduct is above reproach, their bearing
easy and graceful. and they show evident
traces Of refinement. Some Of them are
possessed of Intellectual faces, and many
have pronounced Jewish cast of coun-
tenance Their feet are small and we'll
formed. and they have tapering fingers.
These people do not associate with the
simon-pure neEros. but look upon them
with disdain, and In turn are regarded
with evident jealousy. They are numer-
GUS enough to form ,..a quite s,t colony. and and
are usually nt encountered & returning from
dressed in correct form. and seldom patron
ize carriages. as do the rich dark negroes,
but return to their homes In the street

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO RETURN
HOME THIS MORNING.
MUCH GOOD HAS BEEN DONE
KANSAS CITY BROUGHT IN TOUCH
WITH NEW TERRITORY.
Will Reclaim Part of Her own From
st. Louis as the Result Of the
Commercial Clubs Tour
1t Was Q Chilly Trip

SPRINGFIELD, MO-, Feb. 11.-(Special0
The Kansas City Commercial Clubs trade
extension trip is at an end. The excursion
lists reached Springfield at Z o'clock to-
night where they were cordially received
and entertained. A brief stop will be made
at Bolivar, and then the train will run
through to Kansas City. arriving there at
o'clock Sunday morning.
The train ran all day In the teeth OF
bitterly cold north wind. and everybody
hugged the heaters in the Pullman cars.
In spite Of the severe weather. reception
committees met the club at every station,
but the exchange Of courtesies and the
campaign for more trade for Kansas City
took place in hotels or the waiting rooms
of the depots. At no place visited was
the thermometer as high as the zero mark.
Frequently it registered as low as 10 below.
The tourists suffered some Inconvenience
from a shortage Of coal and water, but
the prospect of soon reaching home made
everybody cheerful. The weather has been
cold during the entire week. but the club
feels that much good has been accom-
plished in tho way Of trade expansion for
Kansas City.
The Hellion Club has been busy all day
with songs and instrumental music. Man
ager Walter Halliwell, of the vaudeville
company, entertained the CiuD Win ilVely
bouts in the baggage car between several
Of his troupe Of game chickens. President
Evans and several other members Of the
club are suffering from severe colds.
The cities visited to-day were: Clare
more, Vinita. Alton. Falkland, Seneca.
Neosho, CRANKY, Pierce City, Monett,
Springfield and Bolivar.
The receptions given the Commercial
Club were extremely warm for such a
cold day.
| President Evans remarked tonight after
| the campaign had ended that, in his judg-
ment, much good had been done. A great
part of the route covered country that
had not been in close touch with Kansas
City, and the expressions Of business men
| had been uniformly encouraging. In this
i same section, SO long controlled by st.
Louis. came me most positive assurances
| of trade relations.
The trip has been by far the most re.
markable ever made by the club. The
| weather has been severe all the time and
work has been done with much inconven.
fence. Many insist that in the future the
annual trip be made later in the season
Some are just now insisting that It will
take a campaign In July to thaw them out
1t is being suggested that q summer trir
be taken to Colorado. but all this will come
up few months hence, when the swing o.
the train gets out Of the muscles. and thi
hardships Of the present trip have beer
partially obliterated by time.
