A heavy loser. The receiver kindly mainIained the combination prices and stored J3 goods, while competitive distillers unloaded their stock at paying prices, jJeav1ns the receiver, at the date of the disruption of the pool recently, with hla manufactured product on hand, to be Bold at leas than cost, while his competitors, selling their goods at a profit while he was maintaining prices, can now afford and undoubtedly will stove, while the goods of the company are being put upon the market at a loss. With such facts before us It requires but little Imagination to determine that the assets of the company have been materially reduced since its affairs were placed in the hands of a receiver." The report was referred, and then Levy Mayer moved that Mr. Greenhut be re-, quested to resign as director. His motion was carried, but he positively refused. Mr. Slayer wa? on his feet in an instant with a. set of hot resolutions, removing Greenhut peremptorily and reiterating the various charges already made against that official. , The ex-president lost his temper. "You're too smart," he shouted at Mayer; "you're just about reaching the end of your rope. No removal you make will be legal." NOTICE OF PROTEST FILED. ; The resolutions were, however, adopted, SArtth only the Greenhuts dissenting, and the latter's attorney filed notice of protest, al-, leglng the action to be illegal. The election tit directors followed, their term of office being reduced from three to one year. There was no fight over the election, the late having been prepared in advance, and ' Greenhut' attorney simply gave notice that the election of seven men was illegal, as, the ex-president had not. yet resigned. Several resolutions were adopted approving vt the reorganization committee's action in seeking to recover trust property alleged to be illegally held by Greenhut, and giving ! the new board full power to take necessary fiction regarding the Jl.000,000 of contested Ijonds. Ttie directors were aio empowered to bring uits against other ex-omcers ofi the trust to recover any mcneys or property that may appear to be due the corporation. . i Just previous to adjournment a young attorney appeared ana served the papers in the $jO,(X libel suits. It was said tnat the suits would allege various misdemeanors on the part of the defendants. In an interview at the close of the meeting Greenhut declared that the entire action of the day was illegal. "These people will find themselves In a pretty fix with an Illegal directory attempting to do business," lie said. "They, have elected a man to till ny position, which; is not vacant, and, confequently, can take no action that will hold, wiil fight them to tne last minute, and they won't find the thing so easy as they think. They are stockholders; there was a "Wall-street mealing to-day, and the whole thing is a stock jobbing scheme." The defendants in the Greenhut libel suits professed to be much amused by the affair. ''It is childish and foolish,", said Levy , Slayer; "Of coursei we all feel very sorry Xor each other, and. particularly for General JdcNulta. but .the wnole thing will come to naught." ' ' ;. Among the resolutions passed by the stockholders was one which provides for jadiear measures in the handling of the trust's bonds. The resolutions gave the tiew board of directors power to take steps to practically annul the $1,000,000 issue of bonds which Greenhut is charged with having sold to himself and his associates at fcr cents ort the dollar. At the time of the Issue In question the-Greenhut management authorized 18,000,000 in bonds, and deposited JiiOO.OOO to redeem rebate vouchers, but issued only $1,000,000, which It is claimed they Jiow control. To-day's resolution provides tor the issuance of the total $4,5OU,000, which throws Greenhut Into the minority as a bondholder, even though he still holds the entire $1,000,000 first issued. - LIQLOIl DEALKHS' MEETING. Price List Condemned Points from Ceorge C. Brown' Paper. ST. LOUIS, April 17. The National Wine and Spirit Association to-day concluded its business and adjourned to meet in Pittsburg. Pa., next year. The following was adopted: . ' ' . - "Whereas, The practice of issuing general price lists, as they were formerly sent out, having been resumed by several brokers; therefore, be it :'ftesolved. That this association strongly condemns the general price list and the Quoting by any broker of any whiskies, except such lots as are placed in his house or hands for sale by the actual owner of the goods." .. The paper readby Mr. George C. Brown was, ordered printed " for general distribution. Mr. Brown's pnper traced alcoholic drinks from Noah through MelchUedec and Abraham vto Christ at Cana. Washington was a distiller. " He criticised the Prohibitionists and W. C. T. U. sharply, declared the liquor dealers were the most abused of all hum?.n beings, gave figures showing that but a Small percentage of . crimes were caused by whisky, that almost as many are caused by jealousy and that "This whole question resolves .itself into the impossibility of making an individual or a people moral by legal enactment. - If our people will only accept the true situation, which is, that legislation can give the Individual neither true . morality nor true religion, and will begin at the foundation by Inculcating these virtues in childhood and In the. home, then we will have a genuine reformation. While I would say nothing In disparagement of the public schools, yet If they are to be relied on for the moral training of . our children, in order to give our women an opportunity to perform the assumed public duties required by the combined organizations of the female suffrijc'sts, the women e so-called, temperance Ainiontsts and the Prohibitionists, it were better to abandon the public schools than t'o rely on government agents to assume the functions that, by Divine Providence, rest In the home circle only, and just In proportion to the interest taken by the jjjothers of our land in such societies as the before mentioned, will be the neglect of the early life, the principles of holf-control and all other virtues, and In proportion to the neglect of the home and the growth of the political female societies will be the srowth of drunkenness and immorality generally."

SCENE AT A FUNERAL

Terre Ilnole Police Hoard Denounced . .. for Permitting; Gambling. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 17. The grand Jury this afternoon made a sensational report to the court In regard to public gambling in the city and the shortcoming of the metropolitan police commissioners In the matter. A few weeks ago the Civic Federation wa formed, 'and, while it was sneered at in the first days 'of Its existence, the police found it advisable to take steps to prevent the exposure in court of their failure io close the gambling houses, and accordingly ordered all placea closed. The grand jury, which was then just ' beginning its session, investigated the subject and the report is as folr lows: ..' ' - .' - , ' ' - "To the Hon: David N. Taylor, judge of the Vigo Circuit Court The grand jury has devoted much time to the Investigation of public gambling and has found the task anything but pleasant. The grand jury reports that its investigation shows that public gambling, with few and very short intermissions, has been permitted in the city of Terre Haute for almost four years. We find that the existence of gambling is dangerous to young and old alike. One young man in a very short time lost $1,400, which amount his father could not easily afford to contribute to this vice, but he did so to save the son and family from disgrace. Many . young men, we believe, have lost good positions and caused financial distress and great sorrow to their relatives and parents because of the existence of gambling in Terre Haute. That gambling can be suppressed is shown from the fact that the police force has suppressed the vice for the past few weeks. We do not believe the chiet, and police force to.be responsible for the known violation of the law that has been so long permitted in the city of Terre Haute, as the grand jury believes that they have always been ready to do their duty, but under the Board of Metropolitan Commissioners we believe that the people of Terre Haute cannot hope for enforcement of the. law against gambling. "For more than three years the existence of gambling has been known to the members of the board, from whom it would have required but a word of command to have had the law enforced. Without the assistance of the police force the grand Jury cannot enforce the law against gambling, and their assistance in this investigation was not and could not be fully secured, andnever can be secured bo long as individual members of the force believe that to take an active interest in the enforcement of the law against gambling would mean official decapitation. "The grand jury therefore urgently requests the judge of this court to order the clerk of the Circuit Court to send a certified copy of this report to the Governor of the State, with the recommendation of this grand jury that he instruct the police commissioners for the city of Terre Haute to enforce the laws without fear or favor."

Prof. Petrie on the Result of Recent " Excavation In Egypt. LONDON, April 18. The Edinburgh correspondent of the Times says that In a lecture delivered before the Edinburgh Rpyal Society, Prof. "W. Flinders Petrie, the distinguished Egyptologist, declares that recent excavations made in the district thirty miles north of Thebes pointed to the existence, three thousand years before Christ, of a race quite distinct from the Egyptians. This race was probably the people who overthrew Egyptian civilization at the close of the old kingdom. Who they were and whence they came were uncertain, but the indications suggested that they were a branch of the same eastward migration of IJbyans which founded the Amorite race in Syria. . The Times comments editorlaly on the importance of Prof. Petrie' s discovery in transforming Egyptian history and in encouraging the excavations in Greece and elsewhere. -.. .- . .

CHICKASAWS AT WAR FIGHT ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN TISHOMIAGO. Governor .. Mosely Attacked by 200 Insurrectionists Six People Killed and Eight Wounded. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 17.-Couriers just arrived here from Tishomingo, the capital of the Chickasaw nation, report a fight between Governor Mosely and 200 insurrectionists. Six people were killed and eight wounded, so the report says. The cause of the trouble is due to bad political blood, which has long pervaded the Chickasaw seat of government, and has existed since the -Legislature ignored Willis Brown, Charles Brown and Noah McGill, who claimed to have been duly" elected sheriffs of the nation, alleging that the Legislature did not have' authority to reject their claims to such offices. On Tuesday morning Governor Mosely , issued orders to all sheriffs, constables and deputies throughout the nation to report to him . at once with arms. When the officers . gathered around the house, two hundred enraged men, headed by McGill and the Brown brothers, rushed from an adjoining house, and a deadly Are followed. The names of the dead and wounded could not be ascertained by the couriers, owing to the great excitement which prevailed. Governor Mosely and his official retinue escaped by rushing to houses on the outskirts of the town. Mosely has called a special session of the Legislature to take action. Tishomingg. is now in a terrible state of excitement, and white people are fleeing. Another fight is looked for at any moment. Choctaw Not at War. DALLAS. Tex., April 17. V. M.

In the State Senate to-day Littler's bill repealing the trust law came up as a special order on second reading. The bill has in view the countenancing of the formation of "coal trusts to increase the price of coal, to enable operators to pay miners better wages. Senator Paisley offered an amendment which provides that in case the price of the commodity is Increased through the consolidation of corporations, one-half of the increase shall be added to the wages of the employes. Failing to comply, a corporation shall incur a penalty of from $5,000 to $20,000. Senator Green said that regardless of the fact that the miners had signed petitions for the passage of the bill, they did. not want it. In his district those who had signed the petitions had done so under duress. Senator Littler said that he introduced the bill by request, and that he was urging its passage, as he held petitions signed by over 5,000 miners asking it. Further consideration of the bill was made a special order for next Wednesday. V" ' OBITUARY. Robert Center, a. Well-Known Man In New York Social Life.

Senator Wilson Unconscious. - OTTUMWA, la., April 17 At 7 o'clock this . evening Senator Wilson, at Fairfield, was growing unconscious. The end seems near." Grant Memoirs. Bok's Letter. , In publishing circles it has been the opinion for some time that there was no further life or profit in General Grant's famous "Memoirs." But evidently the Century people think differently. Last week they bought all the plates and rights to the book, and in October it will be put out in an entirely new edition of two volumes. The work will not be sold on the subscription plan, as heretofore, but through the regular book stores. It will be interesting to see if the faith of the Century people is correct in this book. It ha already had an enormous circulation over a half million sets having been sold. The Grant family has grown rich from its revfnue; Mark Twain made a comfortable fortune out of It, and the book practically made the house which published it and of which the famous humorist was the leading member. In view of all this it seems rather hazardous to book men in New York for the Century to attempt to make further gains out of the book. It is true that they did not pay a large sum for the rights to the book, and so they do not risk much. At the same time, a book, such as they will make nf their edition, is never a cheap article to

7T rc o

iVM a n o ) produce. The experiment will represent a risk of a few thousand dollars at least by the time it is bought out, and it will bo Interesting to see whether enough new interest ran be worked up in the book to Justify this investment. ' r - CRISP'S CHANCES IN 1SOO. Said to Be Laying Line for the Presidential Nomination. Macon (Ga.) Special to Philadelphia Press. Is ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the presidency? The storv as It ' Is told in the political centers of Georgia, is that the ex-Speaker really has such ambition. It is intimated by those near him that the recent editorial in the Washington Post, declaring that the time had come for a Southern candidate was a feeler which had Crisp in view for the emergency. That the subject has been carefully discussed among Mr. Crisp's associates. If not In his very presence, is beyond question. Perhaps the mnst striking testimony is the fact that Mr. Crisp has had the question of his eligibility carefully examined by such legal lights as would secure him from trouble on that score. Mr. Crisp, it happens, was born in England of American parentage, his father and mother having been members of a theatrical company, vvhen he was elected to the speakership there were those who predicted for him promotion to the White House, The fact of his foreign birth then came up. and it was recollected that, in 1872. when ' th Democrats desired to run General Meade against General Grant. that the debate was dropped upon the suggestion that Meade was born in Spain. But times change as well as men and Mr. Crisp is now in possession of satisfactory legal opinions that he is entirely eligible and that the only question ahead Is that of avalllbillty. The answer to this is that Mr. Crisp is not onlj' the most popular statesman in the South but that he is the only successful Democratic statesman before the people just now. - Although a Confederate soldier he has so shaped his course that he is not thought .of in that connection. His views on silver coincide with those of the bulk of his party, but so evenly has he held the scales that he has the confidence of the Cleveland Democracy. The arrival of Secretary Hoke Smith here to-day, so close to the home of the exSpeaker, is held by knowing ones to be a phase in negotiations of which more .will be heard hereafter. There is hardly a doubt but that the Georgia delegation to the next national Democratic convention will present the name of Charles F. Crisp for the presidency. JAPAN'S HIGH AMBITION. She Hope to Be the Center, of a New and High Civilisation. In "The Far East, a book by Mr. Henry Norton, appears the following speech, made by Count Kuma, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Japanese Diet just after the present war began. It is probably a good summing up of Japan's hopes and feelings: f'The European powers are already showing symptoms of decay, and the next century will see their Constitutions shattered and their empires in ruins. Even if this should not quite happen, their resources will have become exhausted in unsuccessful attempts at colonization. Therefore, who is fit to be their proper successors if not ourselves? What nation except Germany, France. Russia, Austria, and Italy can put 200,000 men into the field inside of a month? As to their finance; there Is no country where the disposal of surplus revenue gives jrise to so much political discussion. "As to intellectual power, the Japanese mind is in every way equal to the EuroSean mind. More than this, have not tho apanese opened a way to the perfection of a discovery in which foreigners have not succeeded even after years of labor? Our people astonish even the French, who are the most skillful among artisans, by the cleverness of their work. It is true the Japanese are small of stature, but the superiority of the body depends more on its; constitution than- on its size. If treaty re-' vision were completed, and Japan com. pletely victorious over China, wo ; should become one of the chief powers of the world, and no jower could engage in any movement without first consulting us. Japan could then enter into, eom petition with Europe as the representative of the Oriental races." Florida Not Destroyed." Jacksonville Citizen. Much has been said and written about the disastrous results of th6 cold weather of the past winter. Although many of the orange and lemon trees were killed, and those portions of the crops of fruit that had not been harvested, as well as th ' earlier crops of early vegetables, wer ruined, the news comes from almost every !part of the citrous belt that a large number of the trees that were supposed to b dead will recover, that half of a normal crop of fruit may be expected next season, and that, JJy reason of having replanted promptly, The ' vegetable growers have a prospect of getting their products to market this year In time to obtain good returns. .
