cooperating with the military regime.
Work upon the constitution has been
apportioned to the several members of
the Philippine commission.

Full Release.

New York. May 1O.-There was long
argument in the Molineux case before
Justice Jerome in the court of special
sessions, today. Barlow s. Weeks. coun-
sci for Molineux, contended that as the
grand jury had passed upon the identical
points at issue, Justice Jerome had no
Jurisdiction. Then Mr.. Weeks announced
that he was ready for trial, and the dis
trict attorney stated he also was ready.
After further elaboration, Mr. Weeks
stated that he would waive examination
and asked Justice jerome to fix bail.
The justice said that in waving examine
ton the case was taken out of his hands
and was in the hand of the grand jury,
and refused 10 accept or fix any bail.
bail, but that he would take the matter
before the grand jury at once. It is ex-

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July IA spe-
cini to the Courier-Iournnl from Lon

there OF the outbreak of another feud
in Clay county. by which i've men lost
their lives to-day.
The dead are said to be: Robert Phil
pot, Ed. Fisher. Aaron Morris. Jim
GrliIln, Hugh Griffin. These fatalities
resulted from pitched battle fought
near Little Goose creek, three miles
from Manchester. The feud dates back
nearly two years.
The story that reaches here from
Manchester is to the effect that Robert
PhIlpOt was arrested this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Wash ThHckcr. While
very cIrcumstRntial In other respects,
the report does not show clearly the or
Igin OF the trouble, nor give the reason
for Philpots arrest. II is said that
while Thacker was taking Philpot's
bond the latter was shot from behind
by member Of u crowd that had gath
cred. This prcCipitated general fight
with Winchestcrs and revolvcrs,, which
was participated In by George, Gran
Vile, Robert and Peter PhIlpot and Ed.
Fisher on one side, and Aaron Morris,
Hugh, Jim and Green Griffin on the
other. The battle begun At about .
o'clock and ragged ficrcely for ten or
fifteen minutes. When II wRs over It
was found that the five men mentioned
above had been killed outright, three OF
the beiiigerentB were seriously wound
ed, while Pete Philpot wns the only one
on either side TO escape Injury.
The situation ut Manchester Is de-
plornble. Since morning the place has
been in n state Of terror, scarcely any
one daring TO venture out OF DOORS
