.sr3r Taken From Jail at
0wensboro and Lynched.
The Jailer was Overpowered and
Ills Keys Taken From Him-The
Prisoner was Given Time 10 Pray
and Then was Strung Up and
Allowed to Strangle.

OWENSBORO. Ky, December 26.-Al-
fred Holt, colored. alias Alexander, the
murderer of Police officer A. W. White,
was taken from Jail by mob this morning
and hanged to a tree in the court house
yard. The lynching was most quiet and
orderly perhaps ever conducted in the
State. and few persons save those having
business on the police square at the time
knew anything Of it.
About 2I5 o'clock two men knocked at
the Jail doors. and in response to a Ques-
tion from Deputy Jaiier John Ashby Jr..
who demanded who had knocked, said they
had prisoner they wished to lock up for
safe-keeping Thus thrown off his guard,
young Ashby opened the door, only to
face two big revolVers. He was over
powered before he could utter cry and
the keys were taken from him.
Pleading for his life, Holt was taken out
Of the Jail, through the court house yard
TO the east side, facing the Rudd House.
He was given time 10 pray. when a rope
was placed about his neck. At the word
and in ten minutes was dead. He had
stranglcd TO death.
When the mob had made sure that their
work was complete. they mounted their
horses I'm neighboring streets and alleys
and left town as quietly as they had come.
While there was much talk az first it
was generally accepted that after such
damaging evidence had been brought out
against Holt. the law would be allowed 10
take it's course. The mob's coming was
consequently unexpected. this morning.
Holts crime was committed on the morn

On the Money youestlon-Republican sena-

Washington. D. c., December 26.-lt
is the expectation of the friends of the
movement for international monetary
conference that the question will be
taken up in the Senate soon after the
holidays. though it may be considered
first in a Republican caucus.
The committee which was appointed
by the caucus to draft a measure has
had the matter under consideration and
Senator Wolcott. who is chairman OF
the caucus committee has prepared the
draft of a bill which if it is accepted
as a whole will probably be used as the
basis of whatever action is agreed upon.
It is not yet definitely determined how
far the proposed legislation will go in
providing for this country's taking the
initiative in securing the conference,
but the probabilities are that this will
be left to the discretion and inclination
of the President. The bill is being
prepared for the purpose Of providing
the means of carrying the Republican
platform on this subject into effect, and
the members Of the committee gener-
ally hold that Mr. Mckinley will re-
quire only the means to proceed with
TO cause him TO use his utmost endeay-
crs to secure an international agree

A BIG MINE FIRE.
Great Disaster in the Spring Hill
ColIiery-The Miners Got Out Safely.

HALIFAX. n. S. December 26.-Another
great disaster has overtaken the Spring
Hill coal mines. Just five years ago the
mines were wrecked by great explosion
and l30 lives lost. II took the best part
of a year 10 get the colliery in working
order again. It was splendidly equipped
gave employment TO one thousand men IN
the pits. and had an output Of $1,000 tons
a year From the meagre dispatches re-
ceived. II appears that the fire mas COM
plete possession Of the underground work
ing of two or three slopes.
About o'clock Thursday evening the
coal mines at Spring Hill were discovered
TO be on fire The fire originated in the
pipe-way Of the east slope, in the Sc-foot
level 1t soon forced its way into the lSOO-
foot level, and developed into raging
furnace. When Government Inspector
GIpin arrived fire was issuing from every
opening Of the mine. Two cup,ios were
burned down. and the bank head mad TO
be torn away. The miners worked hard
to save their source of livelihood. but all
their efforts I'm that direction were fruit
less. They tried TO prevent the AIR going
into the mine by stopping up every air
way. Mr.. Gllpin hdd 10 can inc HeH """S
from this work. as lt was attended with
great risk to their lives should an eXplo-
sion occur which might be expected al
any minute. The flames shot 100 feet IN
the air. the reflection being visible mt Am-
herst The extent Of the FIRE is not
known. but the most disastrous eohse-
quences are feared.
The loss Of the east slope Is believed to
be complete and the machinery will be
ruined At p. m. Friday the west slope
was reached all right. but the men VIII
have hard work TO save II.
The fire caught from an overheatei
steam pipe connected with tie driving ma
chinery. The men workec up tc the time
the fire caught and all got out safely.

War Binding Organization.

Plans Under Consideration for Perfecting
War Binding Organization.
New York. December 26.-The Com
mercial Advertiser to-day says:
Important developments will take
place in the bituminous coal trade in
a few days. 1t is learned from relia-
BILE sources that the association Of soft
coal interests controlling the trade has
been dissatisfied for some time past
and it is now planned to reach an un-
derstanding which shall be stronger
and more binding than ever before.
This has been continued cutting in
prices and the official quotations lately
have been nominal only.
Meetings of representatives OF coal
companies have been held recently in
this city. Philadelphia and elsewhere
to formulate plans in aid of Tidewater
bituminous coal trade. Prominent BIZ
luminous interests are contemplating
the formation of a new pool stronger
and more binding than the present or
ganization. The date has not yet been
definitely fixed, but the meeting will
take place at an early day next year
in Philadelphia. What the new plan
of agreement provides for will not be
made public until the interests have
agreed to it.

EN-U. $. Minister to England Gives lis
Views on the Recognition of Cuba.
Burlington. Vt. Decmeber 26.-EIOn.
y. j. Phelps. ex-Minister to England,
gives his opinion upon the recognition
of Cuba i'm the following language:
"I have no doubt that the position Of
Secretary Olney. rs recently published
is entirely correct. The question what
government shall be recognized in a
country where an attempt at revolu-
tiOn is i'm progress is certainly for the
executive 10 determine and not for
Congress. No legislation by that body
can. under any provision of the cOnSu-
tuition. decide it, They can, of course,
pass resolutions upon the subject if
they please. but they in no respect can
control the discretion or the action Of
the President. Besides no government
can be recognized until it exists. The
rebels iu Cuba have no organized gov
erument nor even abiding place which
they can call their own. They are
merely q guerilla force which would
speedily be anuihilated if drawn into
an engagement with the much super
iOr Spanish army. 10 proves its eX-
istence bv it's deXJerity in averting such
an engagemeut 1t would be absurd
10 say that such O force constitutes q
government or that the Spanish gov
ernment i'm Cuba has been Overthrown
or that amy diplomatic relations could
exist between these rebels and the gov
ernment of the United States.
eff this country interferes by arms
iu that contest il must be by assisting
the rebellion I'm Cuba to displace the
Spanish government and to SET up an
other. and this would be q declaration
Of war against Spain, q country with
which we are and always have been
at peace. and from which We have re-
eived no injury and no prOvocaton.

rfable violation of Information law
