A Hot Fight Between Prohibition and
Liquor Men in Kentucky

"A fsob CiSuJ oeiHteh IrOh1DlIsOn ana
Liquor Men in kentucky.
BARBoURvILLE, KY, July PA few
days ago several prominent grocerymen
of Harlan Court House were arrested
charged with selling whisky In viola
tion of the local prohibition law. The
prosecution failed to convict them and
they were discharged. That evening
County Judge Lewis, who had used every
endeavor to suppress the Illegal whisky
traffic, was stopped as he rode out of
town, by J. III. Bailey, one of the ac-
cused, who with q loaded revolver was
in the act of shooting the Judge when
the weapon was caught by bystander.
Judge Lewis rode back, and assembling
those whom he knew to be enemies to
the whisky traffic, proceeded to search
the places where liquor was thought to
be. Several stores were entered and
barrels, kegs and bottles Of whisky were
thrown into the street, where the Judge
proceeded to empty their contents into
the bitches while his comrades stood
guard with their Winchester rifles. The
whisky party returned to town and
Judge Lewis and his party met them and
a hot fight took place in the streets
Five men were badly wounded, but SO
far as known none were killed. Both
factions are yet in arms, and more seri-
Gus trouble is expected.

which seriously menaces the endurance
OF existing alliances. In view of the
fact that, Germany, Austria and Italy
are parties to an agreement to stand by
each other in all circumstances involving
warlihe movements, offensive or lefen-
sive, it is alleged the emperor of Austria
believes himself TO be slighted by the
new emperor of Germany, who had
scarcely placed his feet upon steps lead
ing to the throne when he planned
a visit to the sovereign of a
country which, IL not absolutely
Austria's enemy is at least not over
friendly toward her. The Hapsburg
kaiser Is represented ms holding the
opinion that the first of the German en-
peroris visits-if visit he must-should
have been paid to him, and If this view
ts really entertained by Francis Joseph,
it is held with abundant justification,
since the journey would have been much
shorter than the trip to St. Petersburg,
and Austria is an ayowed friendly power
This View is said to be shared by
King Humbert, who is credited with
conceding the right of priority to
the Austrian kaiser. while still
holding that he himself should have
been the recipient of visit In advance
While there may be little or no truth Ia
the bits of gossip leading up to the alle-
cations of jealousy on the part of the
Italian and Austrian monarchs there is
certainly much to excite comment in the
almost feyerish haste with which the
new emperor Of Germany sought to as
sure the czar by personal visit Of his
desire for peace, and anxiety to place
himself upon terms of intimate friend
ship with his northern neighbor-a
degree OF solicitude which either invites
a suggestion of the fear of the Russian
bear or furnishes an indication of scant
reliance upon the efficacy of the triple
alliance. Ii the kaiser's visit to st. Pc
tersburg was really inspired by desire
to placate the czar it cannot fail to be-
little him in the eyes Of the other parties
to the triple alliance, and it is difficult to
imagine any great amount of benefit ac-
cruing to Germany from the excursion
in any event.

THE C0L0RED VOTE MINUS.
A Story Of Intimidation aud Fraud in
Which United States omciaIs Are
CHARGED with Taking
Prominent Part.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-rfhe majority
report of the senate Judiciary committee
which investigated the Jackson, Miss,
municipal election was presented In the
senate. The committee in their report
reach the conclusion that the entire
colored vote of jackson was suppressed
ut the last municipal election by intifn-
ldation, and that the deputy United
States marshal, the United States dis
trict attorney and deputy collector of
internal revenue of that section par.
ticipated, land in some degree
aided In suppression of the colored
vote. The majority, in their report, said
the city government of jackson had not
been under the control of the Democrats
from 1874 to, 1883, q period of fourteen
years, bat the city had been getting on
quite well all that time. paying off it's
debts reducing Its tax, rate, establishing
its credit and improyingi Its streets. These
things, the majority said, did not con
stitute the basis of the complaint sounded
by the White Leagners, who determined
upon q change OF municipal rule.
II was clnimed that Mississippi was
Democratic state, and 1t WAS affirmed to
he a reproach on the Democracy OF the
capital city of such state to have
allowed the Republicans to control the
municipal affairs for 30 many years.
There WAS but one reason for this long
continued Republican control of the
affairs. A majority of the voters of the
city had SO willed II, and a change could
be effected only by suppression of the
eoiored vote Of the city. The fears of col
ored yoterswere played upon systematicaI-
1y, inflammatory articles were published,
ana the result was intimidation and the
entire suppression OF the colored vote at
the municipal election of January, 1888.
The majority also mention Charles Lam
: ~, recently nominated by the president
as postmaster for Jackson, as one of
those who part s,s ,ateds In .s.s.sss wholesale
suppression .>oiored vtsss. In con-
clusion the committee submits resolu-
tion for adoption by the senate in
Which they express condemnation of
the conduct of the United States
officers who participated or aided in the
suppression of the colored vote, and say
they should be dismissed from the serv-
Ice as soon as authentic knowledge of
such conduct is brought to the attention
of the president The resolution also
declares that q copy of the report and of
the testimony, which tits based on, should
