WHO is GOVERMOE7
Uncertainty Regarding the Elections In
the State of Kentucky.


LOUISVILLE, KY. Nov. 1S-The sec
ond week of uncertainty regarding the
result of the balloting for governor OF
Kentucky begins with little prospect of
an immediate definite result. The Off
cial count has been in progress two days
and official returns from large ma
jority of the 119 counties have narrowed
the contest down to nose finish. Each
side claims he election Of its ticket, but
the estimated plurality of either does not
exceed 5000. While the returns so fal
received favor Taylor. the result of the
count may hinge on the decision given
by the county election commissioners
in several places where contests have
been begun on the ground Of alleged ir-
regularities.

Council of American Federation of

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The executive
council of the American Federation of Labor
at its session today voted that the federation
financially assist the jewelers. of New York,
Newark and Providence with view to the
more thorough organization of the trade
and to be helpful in every way to secure
a recognition of the union as well as re-
duction in the hours of their daily labor.
In consequence of the fact that large
number of employers are alleged to be un-
necessarily forcing their employees to work
long hours per day under the pretense of
overtime, the executive council passed reso-
lutions condemning the practice
The organization of the workers OF the
far west was again taken up and the officers
located at headquarters were instructed to
keep in close correspondence with the or
ganizers and TO submit the names of ad-
ditional organizers TO the executive council
for approval.

speech of Emperor William at Hamburg
yesterday at a luncheon following the
launching of the battleship Kaiser Karl der
Crosse The Berliner Tageblatt. however,
says: "Hs majesty's expressions of re-
gret that his wish for big fleet did not meet
with intelligent furtherance eight years ago
will be found Insignificant just now in more
ways than one"
The socialist organ, the Vorwaerts. says:
"The speech was a mixture of Pan German
fleet enthusiasm and DIR. Won Miquels nom
partisan sammelpolitik. 1t dovetalls in the
program with the Oeynhausen and Dort-
mund speeches. While the former promised
an anti-strike bill and the latter proclaimed
determination to carry through the canal
project, this speech at Hamburg announces
a new and immense naval bill. The en-
perors words cannot be construed other

WHISKY ON SOLDIER TRAINS
FOrty-Sixth Regiment Has ReveI En-

Is Meted Out.

CINCINNATI, Oct 19.-The Forty-siXth
regiment Of volunteers enroute from Massa-

forced drumhead court-martial on account of
an epidemic of drunkenness. The first sec
tion arrived yesterday over the Chesapeake

whisky secreted on the train. Colonel Heg-

martial which sent thirty of the offenders
to the Columbus barracks. AS the other sec
tions arrived during the day it was found
that there was plenty of whisky aboard.
The four sections were all sidetracked at
Valley Junction for more trials by drumhead
court-martial and additional installments
were today sentenced to the Columbus bar
racks guardhouse, awaiting further action.
Instead of proceeding to St. Louis the trains

MONEY TO BE PAID INDIANS
Omnhns and winnebnEocs Soon to
Receive Snug sum TO Tide
n .sr. Them over Winter.

.IER ~. % ,eooc,o, ro,o-
gram'J - soner Jones of the Indian
Office today isssed an order making payable
to the Omaha and Winnebago Indians in
Thurston county, Nebraska. the semi
annual interest on tribal lands,
annuities and leases. While the
interest is not payable until spring
Commissioner Jones has made an exception
to the policy of the department in ordering
this payment, largely upon the recommenda-
tions of Senator Thurston and Secretary
Meiklejohn, who have represented Agent
Matthewson. Agent Matthewson, according
to the statement made to the commissioner,
has increased the revenues of both tribes
from rentals over what they had received
in previous years more than so per cent and
he wants the Indians to have portion of
what Is their due at this time rather than
defer payment until spring. The Omahas
will receive In all probability a SIS
per capita payment, the balance to be paid
next May. One payment only will be made
to the Winnebagoes, but 1t will reach about
500 per capita, the increase of rentals on
grass lands this year bringing about higher
per capita than last year.
Comm issoner Jones, in speaking about the
order, said 1t was issued because the de-
partment felt the Indians might need the
money to tide them over winter. He said
the money was due the Indians and as the
treasury had it on hand It would be sent
them as soon as possible. When asked as to
the amount to be distributed between the
two tribes, he said approximately 1t would
be about $4,000. Last year the Winneba
goes received $4,000 from treaty provisions
and 81, 900 from the lease of grass and that
the Omahas received in the neighborhood OF
S20, 900 last year for grass lands Assuming
that Agent Matthewson knows what he Is
talking about, the commissioner said that
between 500 900 and $4,000 would be sent
to Nebraska for distribution.

VIII BE Signed at Once.

LONDON, Oct 19.-The British foreign
office asserts that the verbal changes in the
terms of the Alaska modus vivendi are OF
no practical significance and have been read
lily agreed to, and that it is assumed that
the United States secretary of state, Colonel
John Hay, and the British charge d'affaires
in Washington will sign tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-Up to the close
of the State department this afternoon
nothing had been heard from London re-
specting the Alaskan modus vivendi. When
the details of the arrangement are made
public, which will follow Immediately upon
it's conclusion, it will be found that nearly
all of the attempts made up to this point
to describe the new boundary line were in
adequate in important respects.
