D — BIG, WHISKY TRUST SCHEME, Plans to Jombine the Whols Liquor Business of the Country, PEACE AT WORLD'S FAIR HEADQUARTERS Quarreling Officials Finally Get Together— Now Plans for t the Comfort Clty Gossip, e Exposition and Cmcaco Brreay or Tie Bee, | CitesGo, T, Jan, 22, It i3 said the Whisky trust has come to the couclusionsthut it cannot fight the big whisky houses and the government, too, and has de- clded to attempt to absorb them all. The trust figures that this will only require doubling the prosent capital of the concern, which is $35,000,000. The plan is to unite the distillers not in the Whisky trust on a basis of a capitalization of &15,000,000 and then unite with that combination the eighty dis- tillerios already controlled by the trust, making a grand joint stock concern, partly American and partly English, with a capital of £70,000,000. In this way the fight between tho logitimate and illegitimate trade would be wiped out, and the whole spirituous liquor business of the country, so far as man ufacturing is concerned, would be under ono management. The plant of the present trust could be successfully hypothecated on a basis of 50,000,000, All the other important dis tilleries could bo reached with £25,000,000, and tho whole combined plant and business could be fioated on the market for $100,000.- 000, The profits of the business would, under oue manugement, amount to 0,000,000 u year. This would be a sufticient guaranteo to float the stock of the new oncern at par, if not at a premium. President Gireenhut laughed today vhen shown the story of the alleged futention on the part of the trust to absorb the outside distilleries by the increased capitalization plan. “Its all moonshine,” he said. ‘The directors have “ot considered such a schome, nor is there any probability of thoir doing oI District Attornoy Milehrist will leave for Washington tomorrows to consult with the oficlals of the Department of Justico regard ing the prospective prosecution of the trust. It is said that since the fact that he was in- vestigating the trust became known, many persons who have grievauces against too trust have laid them before him. It is claimed that the department has enough evi dence to warrant the prosentation to the federal grand jury in March. World's Fair Affairs, Peace has again taken up her aoode in the World's fair headquarters. As a result of the confercnce between President Baker, Director General Davis ‘and the committes on rules, iv was deciaed that Davis should retain supervision over tie exhivits donied bim by Baker. The report of the confer- ence was submitted at a specisl meetivg of the executive committeo today. Public comfort at reasonable rates is the objoct of a gigantic bureau organized to tako care of visitors to the fair. This organiza- tion is the World's Fair Hotel and Boarding Bureau, iucorporated with a capital stock of $200,000 and backed by men of responsibility and’ exporience iu this line, with Lo Grand Canuon for president, and Lewis Cass socre- tary. ‘The burcau has a proposition before the transportation committeo of the World’s fair directory offering to give the directors supervisory power over its management and asking them to sanction it officially. The American Library association ask for 10,000 square feet of spaco at the exposition in which to show a model American library in competition with the contemplated world’s library oxhibit. The association hardly ox- pects to receive the space, but is already pre. ared to exhibit 5,000 American volumes. osides its array of books the exhibit will include library appliances und methods of cataloguing and arranging books. Library architecture will enter into the exhibit also, such as plans and models of great library buildings, among them being an elaborate model of the new Chicago pubtic library builaing, which will be in process of erection during the world’s fair. Models of the most celobrated libraries of the old world will also Le shown. Mr. Johu Hicks, United States minister at Lima, Peru, writes the department of state affairs that ' there is an unusual activity on tho part of shivbuilders and owners con- nected with the South American trade, and ho attributes 1t to proparations for the prob able increase of business incident to the Columbian exposition. ‘The nal which Mrs, Patmer will under- take to driveinto the woman's ouilding as a mark of completion of the work is to be made of Montaus gold.

Los Axceres, Cal, Jan. 2L—{Special Telogram to Tne Bee.|—The most select soclety circles of this city are in a turmo:! over the discovery that tiey have been vic- timizod by o clever adventuress with an aristocratic appearance. To add to the actual money loss there is the deepest kind of chagrin among the society leaders, who know that one of their pets is a female fracd of tho worst descrip- tion. Mrs. Julia Fibbs was the name adopted by the adventuress. Sho claimed to have come from Boston, and at once way taken up and chaperoned by the Friday Morning club, an association of aristocratic ladies with a pou- chant for tninking.

The Herald says: “Many Alfred men and women admit the trath of what the five rls have said.

Cirero, B, Jau, 2%s-More closely than 1n the great conflagration of 1871 total destruction of Chicago by fire was minent today for hours. Singularl the menace was the absoluto paralysis of the city's water supply, tho dangoer was mot and conquered through the firo department. Over 1,000,000 people went un- washed and hundreds huge in dustries, notably tho groat packing bouses, were brought to a standstill. The brewors, oddly enough, were among tho chiof sufforars, but barrooms did an enor- mous traftie. Oraivary commerce was disas- trously hampered and domestic operatious in the thousands of homes throughout the square miles within the city limits wero made practically impossible, Elevators in the Auditorium and the other record-break ing tall buildings, as well as those of lower degree, were motionless, and _luckless upper story | tenants toilea ' painfully skyward by the stairs. Two miles east from shore out in Lake Michigan the city’s trio of water supply cribs several miles apart from each other in a nortn and south lino had all three, during the night, despite the efforts of doublo relays of workmien, boon frozen solid nica, The tunuel connecting each crib with the big pumping stations on shore was use- less, being choked at the mouth with ice of the flinty pattern, technically known as tho anchor artivle. City offioials tore frantically about devis ing schemes of rolief, but slowly the fluid supply, as shown in the walls at the pumping works, recodod and ono after auothor the wassive engines wore stilled. Divers wero sent out on tugs to the cribs, but were pow- crless 1o pierce the drift. Just 100,000,000 cullons of water, it is ostimated, is what Chi- cago went without before the gordian knot was slashed. 1t was dono by dispatehing the fireboat Yosemito to the main crib with in structions to batter down tho congoaled masses with the most powerful streams she could throw, For several hours uo perceptible adventage seemed to have been gained, when suddenly the 10y ramparts in oue part gave way under the assuult and the water rushed into the tun- nel with such swiftuess that in fifteon min- utes the embargo was broken. One of the features of the situation was the wholesale rush of bevildered house- holders for plumbers, the general impression among residents being that their individual water pipes bad frozen up. lire Marshal Swoenie declared tonight that the surolus supply that could have been pumped from tho mains would have saved the business center from any ordinary fire, but that the city was helpless if a big blaze liad started in any of the outlying districts. His men took a lesson today in” fightine firo without water. A number of small confla gratious brought alarms, but the firemen extinguished the flamos with the use of pikes, pickaxes, blankets and chemicals. Tho most serious affair_was ot the residence of Isaac Abrahams, 447 Indinna avenue. A pail of water would have saved it, but tkat was lacking in time, and the damage reached several thousand doilars. Mrs, Abrabams was in bed, and will probably die from the excitement resulting from the situation. The completeness of the famino and its far veaching effects can best be understood by the statement that freight trains entering the city were in many instanices stopped for lack of water in the switch engine's boilers, avd in the barber shops.throughout the city lather for customers was quite generaily provided by melting snow. TSI 8 - A SO DEATH ON JAGOMANIA. CHICAGO'S Serfous m oven e im of esix of the Kaf{zenja inOmanha, “Cold Water Temple” is the name of an Adam’s ale emporium in'a certain room at the Paxton hotel: The apartment is occu- pied by Dr. Loslie B. Koesley of Dwight, IL., whois now inaustriously enzaged in an effort to creato a panic in the liquor market. Dr. Keeloy 1is a tall, stately, well dressed man with gray hair and moustache. He possessos caleulating blue eyes and has a deliborate way of taliing. He smokes mild cigars, and has a discreet nabit of absorbing frequent sips of ica water. Dr. Keeley's wifo was in Omaha with bim. They came here to attend the opening of the new Keeley’s institute at Blair, at which place they were tendered a banquet. A short ume ago Dr. Keeloy returned to Europe, where he went to get an estimate of opinions of foreign medical men regarding bis invention for the cure of ebriosity, and also for the purpose of establishiug institutions in Paris and Loudon. ‘The doctor admits frankly that his bichlorido treatment 13 vecoved with cold curiosity iu [Sarope, rather than with faith and intorest, He has concluded to establish 1nstitutions in Paris and London. Tu speaking of intoxication in Ewrope, Dr. Keeley said the Scotch are the groat- st drinkers. Saturaay is thoir time for sprocing, becauso they ure paid then. The nglish also dvink heav Ivis the chimate, according to what the doctor says, that makes an alarming sproad of iu- abriety in Great Britain, In England, land and Ireland thero are rainy, foggy and damp days, which have a aepressing effect upon the iuhabitants. To get out of this mournful state thoy seek a stimulant. Dr. Keeloy thinks that in France the ver muth and absinthe habit and the cigarette cursohave a hold on the people and are worse than whisky. Absinthe is fast taking the place of wine among tho lower clusses in I'rauce and is terribly destructive. 1t wears out the stomach, shatters the nerves and breaks up the constitution generally. Speaking of boer drinking, the doctor did not think 1t was so injurious as was tho drinking in Great Britain and France. The German eer, he thinis, is superior to that article made in America. He holds the pas- sion for drink is a disease acquired by associa. tion, Ho dossu't believe 1n heredity, and supports his opposition by cit- ing examples of ps‘:-rnuu,v developed children of deaf mute parents, and strong, healthy children of crippled and intirm fathers and mothers, He thinks that if drinking 1s inherited, why is it that our mothers and sis- ters, who are” not acoustomod to criminal association, are not addicted to the habit, Cizarottos are o pest he says, and tho havit a disease. It Jeads to arsenic and opium, and he woyldn't try to cure.an ovium or drinking criuk uniess he quit using cigarottes, er Now Visiting - Petitioning for Peace, PuttaneLeais, Pa,, Jan. 21.—At & meeting on Monday last in thig,eity of the executive committee of tho Universal Peace socoty special petitions were agnt to President Har- rison, Postmaster-General Wanamaker and congress, praving thew to avoid a confl with Chili.
