in all the near by cities.
The earth trembied half q minute.
then carle q deep prolonged rumbling
as OF an explosion. The rumblings were
heard as far as South Bend and La
Porte, while the flash Of light was
said to have been visible at Chicago.

Dublin, Nov. I0.--Thc Importation
of many thousands Of gallons of whis-
XIV from America. as q result OF prohi-
bition In the United States. has caus-
ed alarm in the Irish distillng trade
War restrictions have greatly ham-
pered the Irish trade. The disti'lers
were prevented in the 1867 season
from making the usual quantity or
whisky. Next year they were closed
down altogether. and even In the pres
ont year were only permitted to make
a reduced supply. The prices. or
course. went up. and distllery shares
advanced in the 6tock exchange.
Tho American whisky can easily bo
sold at a lower price than the irish
article, and It is being freely taken up
by the Irish retailers. One provtncia,
boudcr Is said to have paid nearly
5000. 900 in duty on his consignment.
What the distillers arc most afraid OF
Is that the American spirit may be
blended or "fakcd-up" and sold as
Irish or Highland whisky.
Cno interesting feet stated !. the
Dublin papers Is That at present no
American whisky Is sold In Dublin as
such.

ton Of the modest mayors office. but
it was thought best to give the treaty
another name from preceding ones.
