Quoted his examinations and sent his
report to England. Yesterday Mr. Tay-
lor received a cablegram announcing
that representatives of the syndicate
were preparing to sail for this coun-
try and would arrive on the ground
within the next few weeks. The same
capitalists have taken up other options
on coal and iron lands in the same vi
entity and from reliable sources 1T
has been learned that the Walker Bros.
of this city have their Iron county
properties tied up TO the same syndi-
cate. 1t has been known for some time
that their proposition was taken to
England, but the greatest obstacle to
a successful contamination was the
difficulty encountered in reducing the
coal in that section into a coke that
could be utilized in the smelling of
iron That difficulty has been entirely
overcome through the experiments
made in Chicago during the past few
months by c. H. Kroft and Brigham
Young of this city. with the Heming-
way process, the patents for which are
owned by L. z. Letter
One of the Walker brothers stated
only yesterday that the coke problem
was all that has stood in the. way OF

Mr.. Taylor says those in the Eng
lish syndicate are backed up by mil
lions of capital, and if they undertake
to develop the coming industry of this
state they will go at il on a gigantic
scale. 1t is. their intention to reach
the Pacific coast with the product, even

Mr. Taylor confirmed the report pub
lished exclusively in The Herald that
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company had
entered the same field, where repre-
sentatiyes of the concern have been
quietly tying up ground since last May.

WILL BE TWO TICKETS.
Anti-Goebelites Call State Conven-
ton For August 18th

Lexington XIV. Aug. "A political
revolt in Kentucky has been Inaugural
ted The anti-Goebel conference here
for the purpose of calling a state con-
vention and nominating another Dem
ocratic ticket or part of one, was in
some respects perhaps the most re-
markable political gathering ever held
in Kentucky. The conference was COM
posed of leading farmers and profess
sional men, only a few politicians being
in the assembly.
It was manifest from the beginning
that the feeling was not against the
whole ticket, but against its head, and
although other nominations may be
made against those of the Louisville
convention, the main opposition will be
directed towards the defeat of William
Goebel.
The gathering was larger than ex-
pected. There were 720 men by actual
count in the auditorium. Thirty coun-
ties were represented A committee on
resolutions, composed of one from each
district and two for the state at large,
was appointed. When this committee
retired to draft resolutions, John Young
Brown was escorted to the platform
and made a vigorous, impassfoned
speech in denunciation of the course of
the Louisville convention.
The resolutions committee report rec
commended the endorsement of BRYAN
and the Chicago platform, denounced
the methods of the Louisville conven-
tiOn to secure the nomination of VIII
liam Goebel, declared that the report of
the committee on credentials of the Lou
fsvilIe was secured by shameful and
fraudulent tactics, denounced Mckinley
ism and other national affairs and pro
vided that a convention be held in Lex
ington on Wednesday, August 16, to de-
clare principles and nominate candi-
dates for the November election. Each
county or legislative district was urged
to appoint delegates to the convention,
each county being entitled to one vote

further resolved that Major P. P. John

man of the state Democratic central
committee and he was urged to take le-
gal steps in accordance with this posi-
ton.

CYCLE RECORD BROKEN.
A a. Hansen Covers 1000 Miles In
90 Hours, A Minutes.

Minneapolis. Aug. 3.-The worlds BIZ
cycle record for 100 miles held by T.
A. Edge of London, England, and made
over an ordinary turnpike road, has
been broken by A. A. Hansen, who
finished his long ride early today and
succeeded in covering the distance in
% hours A minutes The time made
by Edge was los hours, 19 minutes 1t
may be questioned whether Hansen will
be accorded in all quarters the worlds
record, as he rode over q boulevard
while Edge made his ride over an or
dinary road. At the same time it is
questionable whether Hansen's path
was at all superior TO the hard macad-
am of the English country road. Han
sen had one very bad bridge to climb
twice in every forty mile trip and there
were spots IN the path that would dis
grace a wagon road. The Minneapolis
rider finished at 2:45 this morning after
having been actually in the saddle 73
hours In order to make the thing sure
as to distance Hansen was sent another
twenty miles after completing his ride
Hansen finished in very good condi-
tion considering the severity of the task
he had in hand.

The results Of the conference have

And In Silence the Crowds See Col
Hawkins Remains Brought
Ashore

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The docking
of the transport Senator today was un-
accompanied by the blowing of steam
sirens and the ringing of bells. An
impressive silence prevailed throughout
the operation, in spite of the fact that
thousands of people thronged the docks
to witness the landing of the vessel
which had brought in the Tenth Penn
sylvania regiment from the Philippines
to a friendly shore. There was no
cheering as the vessel made fast to the
government dock. The death Of Colonel
Hawkins seemed to have impressed
every one in an unusual manner and
along the water front flags hung at
half mast out of respect to the hero OF
two wars
Later in the day a detachment Of sol
diers carried the casket containing the
remains from the transport to a waiting
hearse. Heads were barred and not q
few of the Pennsylvania boys shed
tears as the coffin was silently placed
in the hearse to be taken to a local un-
dertaker's establishment. detach-
ment of eleven men and an officer es-
corted the hearse through the streets
There was no other military demonstra-
