RICHMOND, April 1.-THE controversy be-
tween the propretors of the Palladium, which
everybody supposed would offer no more thrilling
incidents before the sale of the property, week
from next Saturday, to-day took on a new and
highly dramatic phase. When Isaac Jenkinson,
the editor and principal proprietor of the Pal
ladium, went into the editorial room, this morn
ing, he found his partner, W. d. Foulke, and
Foulke's private secretary there, and Foulke
debating editorials for the paper Foulke in
formed him that he had taken possession in
order to secure his due share in
the editing of the paper Jenkinson replied in
effect that his due share in the editing was
nothing; that he himself was, under their bust
ness agreement, the editor and that with their
conflicting views regarding the Dudley-Noble
matter it was folly to talk of both taking a
hand in the editing. Foulke insisted that he
should at least be permitted to have articles of
his in the interest of Dudley inserted in the
paper. This Jenkinson expressed willingness to
allow, but Foulke then contended for permission
to have the articles printed without any reply in
the issue wherein they were printed or, in
lieu of that, for permission to print a
reply to the reply simultaneously with
it. Jenkinson insisted that this last
demand could not be complied with because
there was not time enough allotted to any one
issue of the paper to permit the preparation of
articles and replies and replies to replies. He
agreed, however, that anything Foulke might
offer would be printed, and abundant opportu-
nifty afforded for reply; but he refused to print a
particular article that Foulke had prepared for
to-day's issue until tomorrow, claiming that the
columns were already crowded for to-day issue.
FoulSe and his secretary then left the office
An hour or two later, word came down to Jen-
kinsou from the composing room that printer
had come in bringing with him some matter al
ready in type, and was putting into type some
other matter, all supplied to him by Foulke. 1t
seems that on leaving the Palladium office,
Foulke carried the article which he wished in
serted in to-days issue to rival printing Office
and had it setup there. Jenkinson gave orders
that the article be left out of the paper, and
told the new printer that they had no need of
his services. A little later Foulke and his sec
rotary returned Jenkinson informed
Foulke that the article could not
go in to-day. Foulke went up
TO the composing-room and ordered the fore
man to lift it into the form. The foreman de-
elined to do so except on Jenkinsons order.
Foulke then got a foreman from the rival Office
and ordered him to lift the matter into the form.
The foreman did SO, but Jenkinson told the fore
of the Palladium to lift it out when he came to
make up the form In order, perhaps, to be
ready for that time, Foulke sent his secretary
out for policemen. Two came, and
for upwards of an hour they and
Foulke and the secretary and the
two printers stood guard over the article. Then
Foulke sent for his attorney who when he
came, advised letting the article stand over until
tomorrow, as Jenkinson demanded. The ad-
vice promptly taken, and Foulke. his secre-
tary, the policemen and the printers retired,
leaving Jenkinson in possession of the field
