and civilians of the Caroline islands,
arrived here Monday. They report
that the German governors of the is
lands, who arrived on the warship
Jaguar, occupied Yap Nov. 3, Deipan

garrisoned the places with fifteen men

Plan He Relies On.
Frankfort, KY, Dec. 5.-The situa-
tion seems quiet on the surface, but
there is a feeling Of unrest which
presages trouble. New companies Of
the state guard have been organized
at PineviIle, Barbourville, London,
Corbin and Paintsville. The members
are all mountaineers. At II o'clock
last night they left for this city. Each
man carries a big revolver and on ar
irving here will be provided with a uni
form and rife. These men are all re-
publicanA and are determined, it is
said, to see that Taylor is inaugurated
governor. The captains and lieuten-
ants of the companies are said to have
the men well in hand, and it is be-
lieved that they will obey orders. II
they do this there is no likelihood OF
trouble from them.
1t is reported that Allie W. Young,
chairman of the democratic state cen
tral committee, and his brother, Tay-
lor Young, jr., have been in Perry and
Rowan counties this week enlisting
GOebel democrats to come to Frankfort
and prevent Taylor's Inauguration.
This report lacks confirmation.
The Goebel men seem to think they
can rely on a program like this: The
state board OF election commissioners
meets today. The board will declare
that, owing to the large number OF
partisan republicans present, the mer1-
bers Of the board fear violence, and
will adjourn without issuing a certtfi-
cate of election to either GOebel or
Taylor Tney will meet again the
night before the day of inauguration,
issue a certificate to Goebel, and he
will be sworn in by a magistrate or
some member of the Court of Appeals.
He will then be the defactO governor,
and any attempt to inaUgurate Taylor
would be revolutionary.
Louisville, Ky, Dec. 5.-In connec-

returns an incident that is considered
most significant is contained in three
visits paid to Gov. Bradley by Gen.
Breckenridge, inspector of the United
States army. Gov. Bradley declined to
give the objects of the visits. The
republicans openly assert that Gen.
Breckinridge was sent to Kentucky to
take command OF the United States
troops at r'ort Thomas in the event
they are needed bv Gov. Bradley.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
An Outline of the Chief Points In the Doc
ument to Congress.

Doc
ument to Congress.
washington, Dec. 5.-The chief
points in the forthcoming message of
the president are:
The United States government has
acquired sovereignty over the Philip
pine islands by treaty with Spain. and
that sovereignty should be maintained.
The form of government to be applied
in the islands is for congress to deter
mine. At the present time the largest
measure of civil government consistent
with the military occupation is now in
operation in Manila and towns in the
Philippines and in the island of Ne
gros.
The conduct of affairs in the islands
under the military regime is commend
ed, and the recent official representa-
tions as guaranteeing the expectation
that the rebellion will soon be crushed
are indicated. No special laws are rec
commended.
The ultimate form of government in
Cuba cannot be established until it
has been determined whether Spanish
citizens of the island shall declare
whether they prefer to be Cubans or
Spanish citizens. By the treaty with
Spain the Spanish citizens of the is
land have until April next to make
that declaration.
The form of government recommend
ed for Porto Rico is essentially terri
torial. 1t is proposed to nave appoint
ed by the executive, subject to the ap-
oF nd
other officers, as attorney general,
treasurer, etc, these officers, with
minority number of native officers, to
form legislative council.
The completion of the Nicaragua ca
nal at the earliest possible day con-
sistent with the public economies is
urged. The question of the immediate
legislation is not touched.
1t is maintained that it is the abuse
of trusts which is the cause of the
hardship attributed by the people to
corporations. No SPECIFIC remedial leg
islation is suggested, but congress is
urged to deal with the subject effect
lively, in accordance with the equities
as between the people and com DIna-
tions and corporations which may be
shown to be oppressive and a burden
to the people.
Only indirect reference to the tariff
is made, as a largely contributory
cause to what is characterized as the
prosperity of the people.
The gold standard is openly advo-
Gated and the recommendations pre-
viously made to protect the gold re-
serve and provide for larger circulation
are renewed.

LONG REPORTS FUK NE NAVY.
Sampson Chosen for Honors-Asks Much
Money for His Department..

Money for His Department.
Washington, Dec. 5.-John D. Long,
secretary Of the navy, wants congress
to thank Rear-Admiral Sampson for
his work during the Spanish-American
war. In his annual report the secre-
tary urges President Mckinley to call
congress- attention to the valorous
deeds of the north Atlantic squadron
TO the end that Rear-Admiral Sampson
and the men under hir may have at
least equal honor with Admiral Dewey
and his supporters at the battle of
Manila. The secretary recommends
the building of eighteen new warships
and the equipment of them with the
best armor obtainable.
The secretary gives a table showing
naval construction going on abroad, as
compared with that in the United
States. From this it appears that only
Italy and Japan laid down less ton
mage than this country during the pres
ent year, and that Italy alone had less
tonnage under construction. The total
tonnage under construction is: Eng
land, 331 $50; France, 255, 533; Ger
Iuduy, 1+o, ,AoO' 1Idly, 1ZO,OTO, japan,
10000; Russia, 22,975; United States.
1925.
Secretary Long concludes by giving
the cost of the navy during the year.
June 80. 1899, he says, $39, ,045, 1881
had been drawn out of the $S0,576,-
42761 appropriated, leaving a balance
of Sal, ,531, ,313.1O. He estimates the
grand total for the needs of 1901 as
$74, ,230, ,3O9.15, the large increase over
this year being due to many improve
ments under way.

Miss Helen Gould is again proving
herself "the soldiers friend" She is
supplying the men at the front with
travelling libraries. The United States
transport Thomas, which recently sail
ed for Manila, carried two of these Ii
braries for the troops in the Philip
pines. Within the next few days sim
liar libraries will be sent to the troops
in Cuba and Porto Rico. The men at
Forts Hamilton and Slocum have al
ready received their boxes of books.
The libraries are put up in oak cases
with room for a hundred or more vol
umes in each case. When the men at
one army post have read the books
in their library the case is sent to an
other post, thus forming a circulating
library in America, Cuba, Porto Rico,
the Hawaiian Islands, Guam and the
Philippines. The books consist Of
works Of travel, biographies, novels, a
few hymn books, and Bibles. Alto
gether Miss Gould has given more than
q thousand new books.

1t is reported that the United States
department Of agriculture is actively
engaged in originating an orange that
will bear a greater degree of frost than
any now grown. At first sight this
feat might appear difficult to accom-
plish, but when we remember that we
have apples that will not stand severe
climatic conditions, and that apples
have been produced that will stand
such conditions, we see that there is
hope. To illustrate: The best apples
Of the eastern states, such as the Bald
win, will not grow at all in some
western states. 1t has taken years tc
develop apples like the Wealthy that
will stand. We might also mention the
Ben Davis, which grows abundantly all
over the west and resists all kinds OF
hard conditions. So the government
may succeed in it's undertaking.

CarbOlic acid poisoning cases have
become so common in every commune
ty as to suggest an investigation of
drugstore practice in this direction.
1t should not be easy to obtain so dead
ly an article. But Ella Hyland, a Il
year old Chicago school girl, died from
the effects of this poison,
which she had little difficulty
in obtaining. Such case is
a striking comment on the indis-
cFiminate sale of this dangerous drug
In the face of the law prohibiting the
sale of poisons without due precaution,
1t seems astonishing that young girl
should have purchased a quantity of
this acid sufficient to destroy life. The
unfortunate child stated that the acid
was to be used for removing stains
from a floor. Though cognizant that
it could be needed for no such purpose
the drug clerk, with a commonplace
warning, handed the child the means
of destroying her life.

There is now much contention in the
navy department over the large bills
for piIotage sent in by captains OF
nearly every warship in the service
and the authorities frankly admit that
naval officers, great as is their skill in
battle and in the accurate use of heavy
guns, know almost nothing of harbors
charts or the art of steering vessels in
the most open channels. This admis-
sion, perhaps, explains why the Ameri-
can navy, acknowledged invincible in
actual fight, manned by the finest
crews and cIeverest officers, has never
theless been a standing joke in time OF
peace and why so many American
ships have run aground or collided
with rocks and snags.

POINT To ROOT.
Indications That the New York
er Will Succeed AIger.

Washington, July 21.-Up to noon the
best information obtainabIe at the White
House was that the president had not up
to that time formally rendered the war
portfolio to anyone. That New York is
to have the vacancy in the cabinet caused
by the resignation of Secretary A1ger,
however, there appeared to be little doubt
and there was a general impression UP to
the time the cabinet met that Mr. Nc
Kinley had practically made up his mind
to offer the war office to Elihu Root, the
distinguished New York lawyer But it
is said that the New York organization,
headed by Governor Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Platt, had urged the selection or Gen
eral Francis V Greene. It was reported
from New York last night that General
Greene had been summoned to Washing
ton by the. president, but this was denied
appeared at the White House. The re-
port that the place had been offered to
Ambassador Porter was also denied.

Root, and there is no doubt the president
has made up his mind to tender the war
portfolio to him, but that no formal ten
der had been made up to the time the
cabinet adjourned at 1:10 p. m. can be
positively asserted.
The members of the cabinet themselves
were unusually reticent after the meet
ing touching, all points relating to the
question of General Alger's successor. 1t
is understood that Senator Platt and
Governor Roosevelt indorsed General
Green, but it is stated from high
sources that there is little chance of his
being offered the vacancy, eAen if some
thing should intervene to prevent Mr..
Roots acceptance. and is believed to be
equally positive that neither Ambassador
Porter nor Governor Roosevelt would care
to assume the responsibilities of the war
office.
Secretary Long laid before the cabinet
the final adjustments in the matter of
the FrancO-American reciprocity treaty
and general satisfaction was expressed
over the assurances of Secretary Hay
himself that the treaty would be an ac-
cOmplished fact, save for the senate'S rat
ihcatiOn, within "a hours.
Postmaster. General Smith also brought
up some matters in connection with the

M'KINLEY'S TRIP.
President and His Wife Are to Go to
Lake ChampIain.

washington, July 21.-President and
Mrs. Mckinley will leave Washington
probably within week, for a pleasure
trip, designed mainly for the benefit of
Mrs. McKinley's health. They will so
to Lake Champlain, where the presl-
dent spent a vacation two years ago,
and Will be absent from Washington
for at least two weeks.
On their way back they may stop at
Long Branch and pay the promised
visit to Vice President Hobart.
Mrs. McKinley's health does not i'm
proved as rapidly as was hoped, and
the president desires to take her to
some quiet spot. While the president
has not announced an abandonment Of
the projected western trip, it is now
thought improbable that he will go
far west this year. He has a positive
engagement to visit Chicago in Octo-
Der, but it is said that Mrs. McKinley's 5
health, unless there is a great improve
ment, would not permit of her going on
an extended trip.
