Frankfort, KY, Feb. 17.-Gov, Brad

the execution Of Jackson and Walling.
Death warrants were issued accord

A great effort has been made to get
the governor to Az Walling's execution

plea that Jackson would confess and
duplicate Walling. The governor held
that this would be useless'expense. The
governor says he will have no more ex.

Mnde a Fnst Run.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 17.-The battle
ship Texas, which arrived this morning,
anchored in Bolivar roads, near the
Quarantine station at five o'clock Tues
day evening. Her run from New York
to this port is said to be the fastest ever
made by battle ship, the average run
being 1914 knots an hour from the time
she left New York until she anchored
off the bar. When she crossed the bar
she drew 23.3 feet. OF the 800 tons
of coal she had in her bunkers when
she left New York she has about 200
tons left.

Greeks Capture a Fort.

Greeks Capture q Fort.
Athens, Feb. 1.-THE first definite
news of Greek victory in Crete was
received Tuesday evening and the Wild
est enthusiasm followed the intelli-
gence. The Greeks, it is said, attacked
and captured Fort Aghia, taking 400
Mussulmans prisoners. Among the
number are 100 Turkish troops, the re-
mainder Of the prisoners being Moslems
who had refuged in the fort. Details
of the engagement IRE lacking. One re-
port states that no fighting occurred,
the garrison surrendering upon the de-
mand of the Greek commander. AS no
mention of any losses is made in any Of
the dispatches it is surmised that this
report is true.
Joy of the Cretnns.
The people are in a frenzy of excite
ment and demand that the Cretan
question be settled now for all time.
1t is popularity thought that when the
powers find the annexation of the is
land, which Greece has in view, an ac-
complished fact, they will readily
acquiesce in this spoliation Of the Turk.
The Cretan Christians are wild with
delight over the manner in which
Greece has come to their aid. When
the Greek troops landed on the island
they were received with the greatest en-
thusiasm, men, women and children
mailing them As deliverers from their
long bondage to the hated Turks.
Everywhere the deepest anxiety was
displayed to swear loyalty to King
George, the Christians taking it for
granted that they were to become at
once. subjects Of the king of the Hell
enes. The temper Of the people is such
that they would scarcely hesitate to un-
dertake the foolhardy task of defying
the combined powers in their efforts to
secure their liberty.
RumOrs OF Interference.
London, Feb. 1.-THE Daily Mail says
that the powers have sent a collective
note to Greece stating that unless the
Grecian forces are withdrawn from
Crete within As. hours the Piraeus will
be blockaded and hostilities begun
against Greece.
London, Feb. 1.-THE Constantinople
correspondent Of the Daily News tele-
graphs that the ministry of marine has
been ordered to prepare six vessels for
sea service.
Thinks There VIII BE No War.
Washington, Feb. 17.-In regard to
the Cretan crisis Secretary Olney has
had dispatches from the American min
lister to Greece, Mr.. Eben Alexander, of
Tennessee, stationed ut Athens, cons
veying briefly some of the important
points including the very full press ac
counts of occurrences in Athens. Min
lister Alexander expresses the opinion
that there is no danger of war.

1ntimation That Foreign Forces

Possession OF Island.

Athens, Feb. lit is generally be-
1ieved here that the Cretan feature of
the eastern question is now almost a
thing of the past and that the landing
Of Greek troops on the Island of Crete
Is not likely to turn out casus belli
between Turkey and Greece. The alb
solute decision of Greece TO persist in
the occupation of Crete and the protec-
zion of the Christians OF that island in
spite of the attitude of the powers is
founded OH the declaration of the
Cretans that they are prepared TO shed
the last drop of their blood in order to
attain their national aspirations, which,
they add, cannot be satisfied with any,
thing short of complete union with

1t becomes more and more apparent
that what was formerly n public re-

n public demand. Where the people
were once satisfied to make a sugges-
ton, they are now disposed to dictate.
What Is good for everybody. nobody
should oppose. 1t Is now pretty well
understood that good roads are the
most economical investment people
can put their money in. How to inn
prove the public highways is now the
topic of discussion. There is no longer
any question that they should be i'm
proved. The already over-taXed farm.
ers are beginning to look upon the Sc.
curing of good roads as local means
of increasing their welfare rather
than as something to add to their pres

getting together of all the forces in

the prediction that 1897 is to be nota-

sprocket with twenty teeth, that on
the rear wheel having eight. All man,

gears from GG12 to So However, they
recommend their customer to choose
of eight or nine teeth in the rear

have proved there is more friction

was taken prisoner January 20, 1864,
and was confined for four months in

was likewise captured and lncarce-
rated within the Federal lines and con
demned to be shot. Goff was held rs
a hostage for the spy, and word was
sent to the Federal Government that
he would be shot if Armsay was exc.
cuted. Goff heard it and wrote these
lines to President Lincoln: IF Arm
sey is guilty he should be executed re-
