WASHIdTON POLITICAL CHAT
SWifL's News

Swift's News Bureau. l
 Washington, D. C., March 5. The democratic members of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections won creditable victory in the Tillman-M McLaurin case. The republicans started out by talking of reporting a resolu- tion for the expulsion of the two senators, but the democratic sen- ators put quick stop to that by stating that they would filibuster until the end of this congress be- fore they would allow such res olution to be adopted. Then the republicans proposed that Till man should be given the greater punishment. This also was op- posed by the democrats, and they claimed that the two senators were equally guilty, and expressed their willingness to support res olution to censure them alike, and they carried their point. The majority does whatever 1t pieases in the House, but the the mino"i- ty is stlll able to maintain it's rights in the Senate.
 AND THAT FIXED 'EM.
 The Maryland delegation Ill congress held a conference to talk over what should be done to bring tue Schley case before cou- gress. No conclusion was reach ed. There Is little difference of opinion as to what ought to be done, but the difficulty came in over what could be done. Mir. Roosevelt has allowed the repub- lican senators and representatives to understand that he will regard their participation in any move ment to get Schley's case before congress as n personal affront and that seems to have silenced the most of them.
 MORE l IMPERIALISM.
 Does the administration expect the natives of the Danish West Indies to follow the example of the Filipinos and revolt? It has been semi officially announced that as soon as the islands arc formally turned over to the United States, in accoi dance with the treaty that has been ratified by the senate, American troops will be sent to garrison tue islands.
 NEEDS NO EXPLANATION.
 The official announcement at the War Department, based upon reports just received, that there are now 452 garrianned towns in the Philippines tells story that needs no comment to make plain.
 SAT SIDE BY SIDE.
 Pnnce Henry and President Roosevelt occupied seats side by side u: tEe Mckinley memorial joint session of congress. while Secretary Hay delivered u eulog, on the late President Mckinley.
 BOOKER ARRIVED TOO LATE.
 Booker Washington had talk with President Roosevelt las, week, but he didn't get here early enough to he invited to at. tend the White House banquet ir honor of Prlnce Henry.
 FILIPINos ARE NOT CowARDs.
 Governor Taft, who is now re beating bis long story to the Hous. Insulai Committee, has denied il the most positive terms, that tht Filipinos were cowardly.

WHISKY TRUST WAR \
CLOSES DISTILLERY.
Belleville Plant Will Suspend Tn.
til the Fight Between Big
Concerns Ends.

The Belleville Distillery. which has been
in operation for the last fourteen years, will
shut down indefinitely next Wednesday.
This statement was made yesterday by
Bernard Hartmann, president of the COM
pany. The closing of the distillery is the
result of the war waged by the Whisky
Trust against the independent companies.
Mr.. Hartmann has no idea when the plant
will resume operations.
Mr.. Hartmann says that as both the
Whisky Trust and the Peoria. H., distillers,
against whom it is making its hardest fight,
have plenty Of money, the prices on whisky
have been cut SO low that the small distill-
ers. of which his company is one, were COM
PEELED to close down.
Only twenty-five men are employed in the
Belleville distillery, but the closing down OF
this industry will cause much enbarrass-
ment to farmers and others who have been
selling corn and rye to the company and
have purchased the refuse from the distill-
cry for stock feed. TIL shutdown will fall
heaviest on this latter class.
The decision to close the distillery was
made, 1t is said, at a meeting of the Board
kept quiet in the hope that the closing
might be averted. The directors of The
company are A. Rassfeld. William Boil
mann and Charles Ellermann of ST. Louis
and Bernhard and Nanz Hartmann of
Belleville.
The company has a capital of $3.50. 900 and
the distillery used 400 bushels of grain daily.
