PILING UP THE SPIRITS.
Distillers Agree to Reduce the Pro-
duction and Avoid Ruin.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.-The conference Of
spirits producers and distributors here to-
day resulted in an understanding between
all interests by which an overproduction of
spirits will very likely be avoided. At the
meeting were w. N. Hobart. Of I cinnati;
p ]. Hennessy, of Chicago; F. T. Corning,
of Peoria, representing the United States
Spirits Association and the Standard Dis
tilling and Distributing Company; A.
Teuscher, of Vincennes. Ind; w. Z. Hull,
OF Peoria, and Fred B. Smith, of Terre
Haute, representing the three outside
spirits plants. The fact is acknowledged
that an overproduction for this time of the
year is now being mashed. and 1t was
agreed at the meeting that the result would
be piling up old goods unless a remedy
were found in an understanding by which
all would reduce their output of spirits.
The combine has already reduced fits
mash. and will abide by the arrangement
made with the independents The independ-
ents practically agreed TO a uniform re-
duction, though reports OF a binding ar
rangement or working contract between
the trust and independent houses were de-
clared to-day to be untrue. The question
OF prices came up at the meeting. but no
action was taken looking to recommending
any change

USING AMERICAN MONEY.
Russia Borrows s25,OOO, 900 from New
York Bankers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: ignoring Berlin. Lon
don, Paris and the other European bank
ing centers the Russian imperial govern
ment has come to New York for a loan.
A syndicate Of financial institutions OF this
city-banks, trust companies and insurance
companies-have just arranged the pur-
chase of an issue Of s25OO0,OOO of 4 per
cent. bonds, representing a first mortgage
on the Wladikawkas Railway system. The
principal and interest Of these bonds are
guaranteed by the Russian government
and are payable in American gold dollars at
the New York Security and Trust Company
The nature and size of this loan and the
disclosure which it makes of this coun-
try's present position as a financial power
of the world is its most interesting feature.
Another is the surprising showing II re-
veals as to Russia's purchase in the Amer
ican market of iron and steel, coal and fin
ished machinery. Besides, there is the fact
that gold loan guaranteed by one Of the
great European powers selling in the
American market at a price which nets the
syndicate slightly more than 4 per cent.
The first sl0,OO0,0OO of the bonds have just
been delivered in New York, and a pay
ment of $5,O00,OOo has been made on ac-
count"

A MINIATURE SEDAN.
Spencer Wilkinson's View Of the Bat
tie Of Paardeberg.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the military situation in the light
of General Cronje's capitulation. says this
morning: ION moderate estimate one
tenth of the Boer army has been taken ac-
count OF by the capture Of Cronje. The
battle of Paardeberg is miniature Sedan.
Tomorrow the whole of Lord Roberts's
army. say 5000 men, will be ready for a
fresh advance, If indeed the start be not
made to-day. The objective must be the
next Boer army of Importance, which is
In Natal. The next move. therefore, with
view of drawing the Boer army from
Natal. implies an advance on Bloemfon-
tein or some point on the railroad between
Bloemfontein and Wineberg, which would
sever the connection between the Beers
In natal and those south of the Orange
river. If the Beers make stand west of
Bloemfontein, so much the better. With
$1,000 men Lord Roberts may we'll be able to
envelop and to destroy a respectable force
there.
1.-THE effect OF the Paardeberg victory will
probably be a movement northward of the
Boer forces south of Orange river. In Ma
tai the effect will be moral rather than
strategical The effect Of elation on one
side and of depression on the other will
be equal. for the moment, to the addition
of brigade to General Buffers forces.
THE Beers in Natal have to face a crisis.
If they send troops to the Free State
they will sacrifice the whole result of the
long campaign before Ladysmith. Not to
SEM them will be to render probable
second, and still more important, victory
by Lord Roberts few days hence
The military critic Of the Times suggests
that General Cronje probably buried some
of his big guns. With regard to the large
number Of prisoners, the disposing Of
whom presents some difficulty. this writer
suggests that they be sent to ST. Helena,
a-~,ng: General Cronje, according to a
great precedent, might be accommodated
with the large retinue he desires at Long
wood"

RECEPTION OF THE NEWS.
Comments Of Londoners When They
Read Lord Roberts's Dispatch.

LONDON, Feb. G.-When London re-
ceived the news of Cronje's surrender to-
day. such expressions as ''Majuba aveng-
ed and Great British victory" were
shouted all over the city. Yet there were
few outward signs early in the day OF the
natural joy that Lord Robertss dispatch
really caused. The capitulation OF General
Cronje has been looked upon as almost
a certainty for a week past and when news
Of 1t came enthusiasm found itself dis
counted by anticipation.
The magnitude of the success of Little
Bobs'' is almost overlooked in the fact that
II synchronized with the anniversary of
Majuba hill and wiped out dishonor Of
nineteen years standing. While the after
noon papers all around commented upon
this happy coincident, they did not forget
the splendid bravery of the enemy. The
