The Annual Report Of the Penitentiary
Commission Filed With the Governor.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 23.-The annual
report of the penitentiary was fled

condemns the Harshbarger law requir-
ing convict made goods to be labeled,
and the Llewellyn law, restricting the
number of convicts which may be en-
ployed in penal institutions to one.
tenth of the free labor, as responsible
for the disaster which has resulted to
the finances of the prison. The Lew
ellyn law has cost the prison $41, 900.
The lack of labor of the idle men rep
resents shortage of 5000 day.
A tabular statement shows the aver
age population of the prison for the
past year to have been 2,O16, an in
crease during the year of 220 During
the year there were 1,078 convicts en-
ployed and 944 non-producers, the pre-
centage of state labor and non-produc-
ers being 46.7. A large reduction is
shown in the per capita cost over all
previous years. The per capita earn
ings in 1893 were s164.O5, and in 1894
$129.s4. The per capita expenses in
1893 were s146.79, and in 1894 s134. 81.
The board lays much stress on the lat
ter reduction. The very low per cap
ita earnings are charged to the nom
employment of 50 many men.

MAY ARBITRATE IT.

The United States Will Endeavor to Set.
tie the Dispute Between Mexico and Guat.
emala.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The United
States will use its good offices TO pre-
vent war between Mexico and Guate-
mala. For some time past, especially
since it became apparent that Mexico
had begun active military preparations,
the administration officials have been
seriously considering the propriety of
endeavoring to mediate the difficulty
between the two countries.
AS result it has been practically
decided to instruct our minister to
Mexico to use his good offices to avoid
conflict between the two republics.
The state department has deter.
mined to pursue this course, and if in
structions have not actually been sent
to Minister Crittenden, it is because
the time is. not ripe.
At last accounts Guatemala had sent
synopsis by wire of it's re-
ply to the demand of Mexico for
an apology and a large indem-
nifty to President Diaz. Minister
Romero said Thursday his government
would not take final action on this re-
ply until the full text had been re.
ceived by mail.
He would not, of course, predict the
probable action of his government,
but he said he was still confident the
matter would be settled without war.
1t is well known Guatemala has re-
fused to accede to the demands of Mex
leo for an indemnity, and insists the
border tract marked out by the
boundary line commission is correct
but in case Mexico refuses to accept
this view, Guatemala will submit the
matter to arbitration and abide by the
result.
The proba bility of war hinges solely
on the question whether Mexico will
consent to arbitration.

1KUMORS OF WAR.
Hostilities Between Mexico and
Guatemala Seem Certain.
American Veterans willing to Go to the
Front for Mexico-scheme to Conquer
and Divide Salvador in Case There
10 No Mexican. Gautemalan War.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 2S-Nothing
Is heard now but rumors of war, which
seems inevitable. All the opposition
papers are siding with the government,
and some extravagant proffers of aid
are made from foreign residents. E.
G. Ord post, of the G. A. r. has passed
resolutions Of fealty to the govern.
ment. A number of union veterans,
including many Americans, have sig.
nified their willingness to go to
the front for Mexico if their
services will be accepted. The
memorial will be presented to Gen.
Diaz on Thursday by a committee from
the post consisting of Gen. c. H. M. Y.
Agramonte and Col. w. j. Degrees,
Capt. Mcdonald, of the Texas Rangers,
has rendered his services to Col. r. G.
Pate, with 900 scouts, in case of war.
Col. Pate served with Gen. Joe Shelby
in Mexico at the close of the civil war,
and at his call thousands would cross
the line. ".
Should war break out tomorrow be.
tween Mexico and Guatemala this
country would be entirely prepared
for the emergency, and would have its
10000 troops now on the Guatemalan
frontier read to move on the enemy at
an hours notice, without waiting for
supplies or having other hindrances.
The rifles used in the Mexican army
are Remingtons, and additional sup
plies are on hand for the arming of any
additional troops which may be put
into the field. Appearances are that
90 ho<
and west sides of Guatemala for the
invasion of that republic should occa-
sion demand.
It is prophesied in some quarters that
Mexico will settle the boundary line
dispute by appropriating the whole
Guatemalan republic as part of the
United States of Mexico, with the City
of Mexico as its capital
Great activity is evident at the gov
ernment arms factory in this city.
Sixty thousand cartridges, for the use
Of the Mexican army, are being turned
out every week, and they are being
rushed to the Guatemalan border, with
other supplies, as fast as steam and
sail can carry them.
There was a marked silence about
the government Office Sunday in con.
nection with the Guatemalan episode.
The same guarded attitude is felt
when one is in the presence of those in
a position to know what is the exact
state Of affairs, and generally un.
communicative policy is shown. The
exceeding delicacy Of the situation Is
evidently fully appreciated, as is slso
the l.u00u1edno that a slim ~ tho
tongue or misstep at this moment
may plunge affairs into crisis most
grave in its results.

A MESSAGE.

President Cleveland Expected to Commu.
nicate With Congress ON the Currency
OuestiOn-A Foreign Loan Talked OF.
WASHINGTON, Jan. est is expected
that President Cleveland will send in
a message Monday asking congress to
take immediate action for the protec-
lection of the treasury. He was in con.
ference with Secretary Carlisle and
Secretary Lamont Sunday afternoon
at the white house. and Mr.. Carlisle
furnished him with the data necessary
for tine completion of his statement.
just what recommendations the presi.
dent will make is not known.
The administration is understood to
be prepared to accept bill providing
for exchequer notes, if nothing more
satisfactory can be secured, but it is
believed that the message will specific.
ally recommend such action. The in
tention is to take legislation of this
kind as the last resort, in case nothing
better can go through. 1t is said that
some concessions will be offered the
silver men.
The presence of August Belmont in
town, and the fact that he has been
seen in company of Secretary Carlisle
and Secretary Lamont, have led to the
supposition that Mr.. Cleveland is con-
sidering the advisability of trying to
place loan abroad and turning to the
Rothschilds for the gold which the
treasury sorely needs. This would
prevent the New York banks from
realizing on their conspiracy to draw
gold from the treasury, and would, it
hopes, bring gold from Europe instead
of from our own vaults.
The president is determined that
nothing whatever shall be done by this
congress looking to an increase in the
revenues. He is persistent that by the
end of the fiscal year the receipts of
the government under the operation of
the new law will be largely in excess
of the expenditures.

LYNCHERS' SCARED.
Scope Of Judge Cooper's to, Punish
"Mobbers" Has Been Widened.
The Lynchers of Murphy to he Brought
to Justice Also-Gov. Brown is Ready
to Greatly Increase the Rewards II
Necessary to secure the Guilty.

MT. STERLING, KY, Jan. 2s.-Mont-
gomery county ''mobbers" are becom-
ing badly frightened and some are
making hurried preparations to leave
the state. The scope of Judge Cooper's
plan to punish lynchers has been
widened and he now proposes to bring
to justice not only those who hanged
Tom Blair, but the lynchers of Murphy
also. Monday morning, when he form
erly extends the time of the session of
the grand jury to February 16, Judge
Cooper will repeat portion of his
former charge and demand that all
who participated in the lynching of
Murphy be indicted.
Murphy, who killed his stepfather in
one OF the upper counties, was brought
here for safekeeping. While in the
Jail here he killed fellow-prisoner
named Steele. Fearing mob violence,
he was sent to Winchester. He was
taken from the Jail there by a man
who represented himself to be an Off
GER and brought to Mt Sterling and
hanged within its corporate limits.
Blair, serving sentence in the Mt.
Sterling Jail for carrying concealed
weapons, was taken out on New Years
night by mob, and after being cruel
ly beaten was hanged until dead. This
crime, Judge Cooper declares, was the
foulest ever committed by mob in
Kentucky. This state of things is
worse, he will say, than the condition
of France under the reign of Robes
pierre.
Gov. Brown has notified Judge Cooper
that if the present reward of $500 per
head for the conviction of the lynch
ers is insufficient, he will increase it to
any amount necessary. Judge Cooper
has increased the pay of the jail
guards and his body guards to SO per
day, and has also settled the dispute
between himself and Attorney White
1t is said that four of the persons
against whom indictments were re-
turned Saturday have left the county.
No additional arrests were made Sun
day, but excitement is still very great.
Commenting upon the present con-
dition of affairs, local paper says:
There is spirit of almost absolute
anarchy pervading the very air in and
around Mt. Sterling. Courts and juries
are abused and lied on, no matter
what they do, and attempts are made
in, every conceivable way, by hook and
crook and strategy, to shackle the
strong arm of justice and render it
powerless to strike in behalf of the
constitute and legal rights Of our
citizens"

LIVELY TIMES.


Return Of Detective Drake and Friends to
Mt. sterling--The Town Excited as Never
Before by the Lynchers and the Antis.
Mt. STERLING, KY, Jan. 26.--Detec-
tive Drake arrived here Friday morn
ing from Beattyville, y.shere he had
been taken, charged with murder He
was accompanied by Deputy United
States Marshal Bird, of jackson, and
other officers. When the crowd got off
the train there was considerable ex-
citement. and for awhile it looked as if
there would be war between Drake and
his friends on one side and the city DO.
lice on the other.
Upon arriving at Beattyville Thurs
day night Drake was taken before the
county judge of Lee county, who held
him in $4,000 bond to appear next
Tuesday. AS soon as the people of Lee
county heard of brakes arrest they
gathered in such numbers that the
courtroom was not able to hold them,
and every man who owned piece Of
property wanted to sign his bail bond.
Every lawyer at the Beattyville bar
volunteered his services to defend
Drake.
An effort was made to serve a SUBJ
poena on Charles Ratcliff, the young
man of this city who swore out the
warrant against Drake, but he could
not be found. His brothers, who feared
he would get into serious trouble,
spirited him away.
brakes friends did not come armed to
help him fight, but simply as commit
tee to testify to the Montgomery au-
thorities that he was man of high
character. These gentlemen left on
the 8 o'clock train for their homes,
Marshal Bird alone remaining to assist
Drake.
No arrests were made Friday, but
the grand jury is still investigating
the matter, and has examined a great
many witnesses. Indictments will
probably be issued Saturday for five or
six persons charged with lynching Blair.
The lynchers of Blair are known.
Crowds that assembled in the saloons
and hotel Office openly discuss the sub.
ject and one or two have admitted that
they participated. The contest now is
simply between the law-abiding people
of Montgomery county and Taylor
Young's influential faction.
Chief Wilson is known to be friendly
to Young's sympathizers, and if he has
the warrants, instead of Jailer Che.
nault, as is claimed Friday night. this
fact is significant. Armed guards still
attend Judge Cooper's court. Threats
against Marshal Drake are heard on
every hand.
Late Friday night Marshal Drake
held another conference with Chief oi
Police Wilson, and insisted that mum.
Der Of warrants should be served Sat.
urday morning. Chief Wilson refused
and Drake reiterated his threat that
he would arrest Chief Wilson and
Policeman Sam g. Turley. Drake was
told that he could not arrest the Off.
GERS. Chief Wilson said he would die
first. Turley said to reporter:
I'VE will die in our tracks before we
submit to Drake. He does not dare tc
try to arrest US. One hundred Of the
best citizens of Montgomery county
have told me that they would stand by
me and that is all want.
