THE MAN HAD SHOT 4 COMRADE.
The Eighth Massacbusctts Placed on
Guard Mt Camp neutrality-suspicious.
Fired on.

LEXINGTON, KY, October n.-There
was moro excitement last night than at
any time since the arrival of the troops
here. When the 1880 +. NJ. Louisville tram
started for town a crowd of 900 members
of the Twelfth New York was at the
depot to meet it. They were armed and
were coming 10 town to try to seize Albie
Kitchen. the provost guard. who shot
and killed Private Henry Nygren, Com
pany b, Twelfth New York, last night.
The operator at the station wired the
facts to the division headquarters in the
camp. and General Wiley wired back IL
structing the train TO be held.
lie sent battalion TO the scene under
Captain Holbrook, acknowledgement on
General wney's staff. Captain Holbrook
ordered all peaceful soldiers to return TO
the camp. A corporal spoke up and said:
"All who are towards" Captain Hol-
brook asked him to what regiment he be-
longed and he answered, THE Big -Four.
Captain Holbrook told him that was no
way 10 speak TO an officer. The soldier
made some reply. and Holbrook grabbed
him by the arm. The soldier tore away,
leaving his coat sleeve In the Captain
hands and drawing a gun, shot at Hol-
brook Tho bullet missed the captain.
The corporal then climbed under car.
Lieutenant Langdon followed him and
was shot at twice. The soldier escaped.
Many of the Twelfth New York Regi-
ment had TO be dubbed into submission.
The Eighth Massachusetts Regiment
was placed as a special guard around
Camp Hamilton.
JAIL UNDER GUARD.

PHILIPPINES NOT REACHED.
The question Of the Philippines has not
vet been considered In joint session,
though the Americans at their separate
sessions have acquired exhaustive infor-
nation from persons who have lived IN
the Philippine Islands and done business
there. They are now, therefore, well
eouipped to discuss the subject when it
comes up.
The Spanish. il is believed, have asked
10 have the Cuban debt assumed by the
United States. urging that the DEBT
should pass with the sovereignty. The
debt so presented for American assump-
ton covers the expense OF the ten-years
instruction. the recent Instruction, and
the war with the United States. as far as
Spain's outlay in the war can be classi-
hed against Cuba The Americans proba-
bly, have replied that IT, indeed, any part
of the so-caled Cuban debt Is allowable
the part incurred in suppressing insur-
rections or in the war with the united
States is certainly not allowable.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS, &c.
The Spanish will doubtless also urge
equities in stocks. waterfront better
ments, public buildings, and perhaps war
material It is possible that this con-
tention will receive consideration on the
basis of equities between mortgager and
| mortgage.
Thus far no disposition has been de-
| welcomed on either side to delay the ulti'
mate conclusions and the end OF the
work in hand The American commits
sioners are anxious to conclude as SCOT
as possible. and on recess days are de-
voting from three to five hours TO ais
| cussions and details.
The adjournment yesterday CTuesday

THE BIMETALLIC CAUSE.
Col. Bryan Contributes Thereto and
Endorses Committee Plan.

CHICAGO, October 1.-W. II. Harvey,
general manager of the Blmetallic Ways
and Means Committee. No. 100 Unity
building. Chicago. is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from Colonel w. J. Bryan,
dated Jacksonville. Fla:
"My Dear Sir,-I enclose a pledge for
monthly contributions TO the cause of BIZ
metallism until October, 1900. together
with the instalment for this month. l
most cordially endorse the plan adopted
by the committee, and am confident It
will result In the collection OF a large
fund for the circulation of bimetallic lite
nature.
"Since our fight is in the interest OF
the plain people to use Lincoln's phrase.
or the common people, TO borrow Bible
term. we must appeal to them for the
means OF carrying on the contest.
1.-THE financiers can contribute large
sums 10 support the gold standard. be-
cause the monopoly of money gives them
great pecuniary profit. Surely you can
appeal with confidence TO the millions who
suffer from a rising dollar and falling
prices.
Having brought freedom TO Cuba, the
American people can renew the struggle
for the financial independence Of the
United States. Yours truly.

IA stili hard al work with view 20 having
measures adopted whereby prisoners dis
charged from the penitentiary will be
returned by the authorities TO the place
whence they came.
A committee of the association waited
upon the Governor last April. with this
end In view. and was referred to Mr.. Har-
mon, the chairman of the State Peniten-
tiary Board. At that time Mr.. Harmon
assured the committee that the matter
would be attended to at once. Nothing
has been done. however. during the past
six months, and yesterday the committee
waited again upon Mr.. Harmon, who pro-
missed the members that he would go to
work ar once.
HOW THE TROUBLE AROSE.
The trouble about the deportation OF
prisoners first arose with the man Shaw.
who shot Sergeant Brooks at the Union
Depot some years ago. When he was dis
charged he complained bitterly against
being taken TO the station by an officer.
and even after he had been put upon
the train, he, together with another ex-
convict managed to leave 1t at Elba.
and wandered into the city again. He
was subsequently arrested as suspicious
character and sent out Of town by Justice
Crutchfeld.
This work OF deportation was kept up
during the life of Major Poe, but has
since fallen into allegiance.
The problem has been vexed one for
many months. and the ex-convicts have
been generally recognized and found to
be most undesirable residents.
FUNDS TO BE PROVIDED.
The only excuse offered for allowing the
plan of deportation 10 fall into disuse has
been the lack Of necessary funds, but
that difficulty. 1t Is expected. will very
soon be disposed of by the Governor.
and the State Prison Board.
