Dtsttllera Insist on Sticking to Old
 Brands.
 Cincinnati. O., June 27.-The antic- ipated trouble over the new rules of the Internal Revenue once for the branding of distilled spirits came to a head late yesterday when the Cliff ton Springs Distilling Company secured a temporary injunction against collec- tor Bettrnan to prevent him or his gaugers from enforcing the rules on the output ofBthe Clifton Springs dis tillery. Esk
 The Clifton, Springs Company states that for years back 1t has been man. ufacturinR a product known to the trade as spirits" sending out 4,00o, 900 gallons of 1t yearly and paying the Government a tax of $1.1o on each proof gallon and that tor fiftt years 1t has been branded and been known generally as spirits" Under the new order of Internal Revenue Commission CT Capers the gaugers are going to omit this name and in it's place sub- stitute the word alcohol" This the Clifton Springs Company declares would result in immense outright losses dam age to it's business, as the word "ai- cohol" is known and used to designate distilled spirits of inferior quality and intended only for use in the arts and trades and in making drugs. Judge Thompson granted a temporary in- junction against Collector Bettman and seven Government guagers and the case will be heard Monday morning.

 The Wisconsin and Cornell crews were the first to reach the starting line and were welcomed with cheers and college yells as were those of Pennsylvania. Columbia and Syracuse which came sp the river almost abreast from their training quarters. There was breathless wait with the crews in position as the referee in his boat back of the line instructed the crews. A flash, a puff of white smoke float ing away on the still air and the big race was on.
 The report of the pistol was follow cd quickly by shouts of many on the observation train and on the shores and highlands Out in front shot Columbia, with a lead of a few feet It was not much of an advantage, but 1t gave the Columbia admirers some- thing to cheer about.

 now pursuing them In tie wilds of Du- rango.
 The government places absolutely no political significance or importance to these recent happenings for the req son that not one of tine participants is a representative citizen. Where, they were not of the criminal class they were the poorest and most ignorant representatives of the lower classes who have been preyed upon by the de- signing charlatans In the United States '3rhe outcome of the Viesca affair will be simple. These poor, ignorant men. without leader. win be hunted down in the wilds of Durango by Mex ican troops.
 ''The Las Vacas affair unfortunately presents not 50 simple a solution as the raiders are now in Texas and most Of them claim protection on the plea tn at their offense was of a political nature and therefore non-extraditable.
 Some of the participants, too, claim to be citizens of the United States. Ac- cording Co a report received by the consulate today. both respective gov ernmenfs win take up the entire mat ter. Everything Is quiet at present and the government does not think a shad- ow of chance for another trouble ex- tsts."

 Austin. Texas.

The Gover- nor wired the State Department that such steps will be taken as is deemed proper to keep down any disturbance along the border.
 The message Is from the State De- pertinent at Washington and signed by Acting Secretary of State Adee and is as follows:
 Tn connection with the recent att tempt to precipitate Il general disturb ance in the State of Coahuila. Mexico. where, on the 24th inst, about 200 men descended on and took possession of the town of Las Vacas, the Mexican Government has brought to the Depart meit's attention the question of the vio- lation of the neutrailty laws of the United States and expressed a desire that the parties guilty of the recent acts alleged to have been committed on the frontier in violation of these laws should be duly punished. At the same time the Mexican Government represents the urgency of the Govern ment of the United States, giving or ders tending to the prevention of any disturbance of public order on the iron. tier between the two countries. This department has referred the matter of the violation of the neutrality laws to the Attorney General but 1t would be pleased if you would cause such meas ures to be taken as you may find prop CT to prevent the occurrences com plained of."

CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.

Free for All Race ia Iowa Program.
 Des Moines, June 27.--It now seems certain that there will be no regularly nominated candidates for Congress in the Seventh Iowa District and both Captain Hull and Judge Prouty may go on the ballot as independents. It is more than probable that the Dallas County contest will be carried to the Sate Supreme Court and there Is but slight chance of 1t being decided before the November election. In that event there will be no Republican candidate and if either Judge Prouty or Cap tain Hull wish to make the race for Congress they must get on the ballot by petition as independents.

BO0Se Factories Accommodating Joy

 Peoria, H., June 27.--At present the three largest Peoria dtstilleries are running at full capacity and this un- precedented activity may be attributed to the fact that on July 1 the new pure food law as 1t applies to distillery pro- ducts, is operative, after which date everything is branded according to the real merit of the goods--whiskey, spir. its, alcohols, high wines, etc, and 1t is believed that this approaching change in procedure at the distilleries of the country may have something to do with the increased output.
 As the daily grind of corn is about 30,000 bushels and the price of corn ranging at comparatively high prices. there Is some speculation as to reason for the unusual activity at this time of the year.

washington Not Uneasy.

Washington, June 27.-Though there is scarcity of news through American diplomatic and consular officers regard ing conditions in Persia, that fact ap- parently is not causing the State De- partment officials serious concern, as their conclusion is that they have not found 1t necessary to communicate any thing requiring the departments att tention. 7
 Tn fact, Minister Jackson's dispatch from Teheran earlier in the week ex- pressed the opinion that foreigners were not in especial danger.
 Nothing has come from American of hcials in Persia since Tuesday. On that day, in addition to a dispatch from MT. Jackson, there was one from Will liam F. Doty. consul at Tabriz, whore severe fighting recently has been re- ported, saying that the American mis- sionaries at Urumiah. who are fearful of the nomadic Kurds. wanted him to come there.
 Whether he went to Urumiah has not been reported to the department, MT. Doty being told to consult with the legation at Teheran on the sub feet.

NEW WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Harry Thaw Makes An
 other Move. SHERIFF TOWNSEND SERVED Will Endeayor to Secure Trial by Jury. Justice Morschauser Had Just Signed order Recommittins Thaw to
 Matteawan when New
 Writ Was Obtained.

Poughkeepsie. N. r.. June 27---Harry K. Thaw has obtained new writ or habeas corpus, returnable before Su- preme Court Justice Mills at White Plains at l0:s0 a. m, Monday morning. when counsel for Thaw will endeavor to secure a jury trial to pass upon his mental condition.
 The writ was served this morning under Sheriff Townsend in anticipation of Judge Morschausers signing an order at Ii o'clock this morning, re- committing Thaw to Matteawan. The writ has the effect of holding Thaw here until Monday. when the Sheriff will be required to produce him before Judge Mills at White Plains.
 The anticipation by Thaw and his counsel that Justice Morschauser would recommit the slayer of Stanford White to Matteawan, proved correct. Dis trict Attorney Mack presented to the judge this forenoon the formal order of recommitment to Matteawan, which Justice Morschauser promptly signed. It would have had the effect of return ing Thaw to Matteawan today, but just before the order was signed. Sheriff Townsend. who has been the custodian of Thaw even since the first habeas corpus proceedings were begun, was served with the new writ of habeas corpus, which commands the Sheriff to produce Thaw in the Supreme Court at White Plains on Monday morning.
 Charles Morschauer of Poughk eepsie, now that his brother Justice Morschau- ser, has finally disposed of the case. has been retained by Thaw to conduct the proceedings.
 Harry Thaw was delighted with the turn affairs have taken. He made the following statement:
 T cannot bear the thought of re- turning to Matteawan on account of being obliged to associate there with insane people. I would rather go to prison. I have thought all along, es- pecialiy since Justice Morschauser handed down his decision. that if could get my case toAa jury would be able to convince twelve men of my present sanity and secure thereby my liberty. am anxious to take the stand and be examined as to my mem tai condition. feeling confident that a Jury will agree that I am not Insane"
