COhicago and Milwankee Liqnor Men Pre- paring to Erect Big Distiller ONE OF THE LETTERS OF COLUMBUS. The Explorer Tells of the Land and Says e of the People Are Boin with Tails —Street Ob- struction War, Ciicaao Orrice o Tie Bree, Cieago, June 12, The proposal by rectifiers of this city to build a distillery in opposition to the whisicy trust took more definite shape today. Itis understood that tho capital is already sub- scribed and that the new distillery will probably be called the Rectifiers co-operative distilling company. A plant, it 1s said, large enough to supply the wants or th ctifiers, will cost but $150,000. The question of get- ting spirits pending the erection of the dis- tillery is not bothering rectifiers, as they claim the trust could not refuse to sell to them if they paid cash, It also seems that the local refiners are not alone in their determination to establish dis- tillerics in opposition to the whisky trust. Four of the leading wholesale liquor dealers of Milwaukee have formed a combine of their owp and perfected arrangements for a distiliery with n capacity of not less than 50,000 zallons of whisky per month. The es- tablishment will be built on the lake shore south of the city and will be operated exclu- sively for the benefit of the members of the new organization, as nothing of the product will be offered upon the market. 1t is reckoned that the concern will be above the reach of trust influence. At he same time its promoters _ will _ be protected against the high prices which it is expected the trust will inaugurate novs that it has ob- tamed control of its only real compotitor in securing the Shufeldt distiliery in Chicago.

It is addressed to Luis do nt Angel, a man who had uided Columbus “financially. In it o “tells about the discovery and naming of San Sal- vador and other islands, and dwells at length on the gentle and mgenious disposition of the natives. “In exchange for o strap,” he says, ‘o sailor mignt get gold of the weight of two and a half castellanos. | gave gratuitously a thousand useful things that I carried, in order that they may conceive an affection and furthermore that they may become Chris- tians.”’ Of the island which he named Guana he de- clares that it is larger than England and Scotland combined, and adds: “On the west- crn sides are two provinces, one of which they call Avan, where the peoplo are born with tails.” CRUSADE ON STREET OBSTRUCTION: The street obstruction war which has been inaugurated here by Commissioner Aldrich promises to take vigocous shape on Monday next, when Superintendent Bell will start out with some wagons, about a dozen of his men and a few policomen and tear away everything that Interferes with pedestrians, or which is in violation of the ordinances re: lating to strect obstructions.

INTERESTING LEGAL POINT DECIDED, By o decision hand:d down yesterday in the state supreme court an important point concerning assignmonts of property by iu- solvent debtors is settled. It directly affects one “of the questions growing out of tho Lindauer clothing house failure in Chicago, In the fall of 1885 Lindauer Brothers entered confessions of judgment 1n the circuit court aggregating §200,000. Of these judgments one was in favor of (ieorge Einstein s trustee for #X0,000.

These croditors petitioned the county judge to decree that the appointment of a trustee was equivalent 10 au assignment and to compel the Linaauers and the judgment creditors to turn the prop- erty over for the benefit of all the creditors, Judge Prendergast appointed Frank Collier ussignee and the Lindauers tried to have the county court 8 action set aside and a receiver appointed vy Judges Tulley aud Horton. They failed and the estato was at last sottled out of court by tho payment in full of the contesting _creditors’ claims by allowing other creditors 40 per cent, In the meantimo the Vermillion county case arisen. The county jndge decided the iusolvent, Cohu, by declaving u trust in favorof cortain creditor hud made an assignment and under volu t laws all preferouces wero pr cluded.

When first asked if he had made such o statement to Gen- eral Wagner Colonel Drew said it was ubsolutely fulse and that he had never told Gerergl “Wagner such a thing. Colonel Drew afterwards withdrew this denial and qualified it by saying he had no recolleetion of having said anything on tho subjeet, but still it was possible that General Waguer's memory was better than his_and he would therefore neither deny nor afim it. Colonel Drew was asked, *Well, is it so that General Nottleton was a borrower of toe bunk ‘I can’t auswer a question like that, as I am not allowed to do so,” replied Colonel Drew. “Would it appear on the books of the bank if ( ctticton had been a_borrows ainly,”” said Colonel Drew Colonel Drew " isas very averse 1o s anything whatever, insisting that General Nettleton was the . proper .person -to see on the subject and not him. et THE CONGO TREATY, Why THits Government Has Not Signi= fled its Adherence. WasHINGTON, June 12.—A number of in- quiries have been received at the state deo- partment from philanthropic organizations and individuals as to the failure of the United States government to signify its adherence to the Congo treaty, the final ratification of which must be exchanged before the end of the month. This treaty is an agreement to suppress the slave trade and the sale of breech-loading fire arms and intoxicants in the Congo district of Equatorial Africa, and nearly all of the great powers of the world have joined in accepting its obligations. "The state department has roplied to these inquiries that the subject is still under con- sideration by the United States senate in ex- ceutivo session and the department does not feel nt liberty to discuss tho matter gener- ally, but itis proper to say that as a result of recent correspondence it is not improbanle that the treaty will go into effect at the ap- vointed time in respect of all the signatories except the United States and that it will be loft open to this government to give its ad- hesion hereafter. ['he department has beeu working to this cnd, and the senate, having failed to take definite action, that was all that coula be done pending further action cnate. treaty was negotiated at, Brussels and a representative of the United States govern- ment assisted in its preparation. It was laid before tho seuate toward the elase of the last congress for upproval and attention called to the necessity for speedy nction, Aftera loug debate in exceutive session the treuty was rojected, but as a motion to reconsider was entered the matter is still pending. Thevote upon the acceptance of the treaty was closo and its opponcnts take their stund upon the soveral propositions. One wis that the ap- proval of the treaty by the United States would earry with it a recognition of certain French claims to a large part of Liberia, which recent events show ure now being actiyely aund forcibly pushed, and as that country is regarded as one of our wards we could not permit such aggrossion. It was also urg that the United States could not consistently with its holding to the Monroe doctrine ut dertake to join in a plan of dictation respect ing the affairs of another continent, and. still aunother reason put forward in opposicion to the treaty wus the contention that it would bo unwise for the United States to give rec oguition to the present rather broad and in some cases doubtful claims of European na tions to the best vortions of Africa which tacitly recoguized by the treaty, All of se urguments were used by the opposition successfully to deteat the treaty, but s the motion 1o reconsider it is sull’ pending the department of state regards it as a duty to still suve u place for the United States amoni its adberents until the subject is finully acted upon by the senate, CATTLE FO& INDIANS, Opening a New Market for Western Live Stock.

Whenever its voice becomes audibio its earnest denunciations of tho prince of Wales ary mpanied by regrots at his nearncss to the throne. Reprosentative gath- eriogs of religious bodies—Congregas tioual, Mothodist, Baptist, Unitarian, and Presbyterian—have already recorded their condemnation. Boards of guardians arcgoing out of their accustomed paths to discuss motions branding the gambling pro- pensitios of the prince of Wales us a disgrace to the country. Several liberal societies have adopted protests against his continuance in the army. Tho agitation has every char- acter of permanence. It has not yet touched more than a fringe of the political parties, but ere long the’ glowing flercencss of the people must penetrate the core of politics, causiug party action within and without par- liamént, The radical members of the house of com- mons are opening the attack upon the prince of Wales, but they have been warned that Mr. Gladstono resents the movement and that the leaders of the opposition will ac- tively show their repugnance to associating alism with an agitation tending to cast disgrace upon tho A group of radicals, moeting tho night after Cumming’s dismissal from the army was gazetted, concurred in the opinion_that the leaders kea the feeling of the nation; that even on party grounds it is im- pussible to noglect the duty to take the sense of parliament on the position of the prince of Wales and the others ocon- cerned. The radicals will not be con- tent with anything less than action by the military ~authoritics, involving tne same oficial reproof of the prince of Wales, eneral Williams and Levitt.
