The State Seeks to Reclaim Propertv
Under the Alien Land Law

HENDERSON (Ky), Dec. 13.-An
unusual suit which will be watched
with interest all over the United States
was filed here yesterday, it being stated
that the point involved is raised for the
nrst time. The State seeks under The
amen iand law to reclaim property
valued at $4,000. because the owner
afterward became a subject of Great
Britain, the contention being that he
thereby forfeited his right to own prop
erty IN the United States.
Mrs. Mary Newcomb and others are
made defendants. There are complica-
uons because Mrs. Newcomb is the sec
ond wife, but this does not affect the
particular point at issue Thomas New
comb, now deceased, owned various
pieces OF property in and about Hen
derson- AT the breaking out of the
civh war he fled to Canada, where he
later took an oath of allegiance to the
queen of Great Britain and never re-
turned TO this country. He became a
British subject thirty years ago.
contest of the will by a son of New
comb by his first wife is now pending
in the higher courts.

ONLY ONE SENTIMENT.
r1aceO's Assassination Regarded as an
Outrage.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.-There is but
one sentiment in this community re-
garding the assassination of General
Maceo.
Indignation is freely and emphatically
expressed whenever and wherever the
matter is discussed and there has been
some talk of mass meeting for the pur-
pose of giving public expression regard
ing the killing of Maceo and formulat-
ing a petition asking that the United
States recognize the belligerency of the
Cuban insurgents. Maceo's assassina
ton is regarded as an outrage and a
violation of the rules of warfare.

The yelling of the Alerts' "rooters"

In the fifth inning they made some
costly errors and allowed the Alerts to
score five runs This seemed to dis

There will be a number of visitors of

that he has made up his mind to go into

it doubtless will be- There is no proba-
bility, however, that the two most i'm
portant places in the Cabinet, the pi-
votal places, as it were, that of Secre-
tary of State and Secretary of the

die of January. Major Mckinley is
giving the problems which confront him
due consideration, and he will not per-
NIT himself to be hurried. The New

fest themselves in Canton. William

Visitors to Canton who have talked
with Major Mckinley about tariff legis-
lation, indicate that he is not in favor
of an extreme measure of any sort, and
that he impressed upon those Con-
Gressmen with whom he discussed the
matter the idea that no bill will do that

so adequate that with a little revision
from time to time it will stand for ten
