ARREST DEMOCRATS.
Scheme to Make Wholesale AR
rests on Political Charges.
Disreputable White Men, rIeaner
Than The Republicans The
Probable Instigators.

1t has become known that the
Republicans and their allies are
trying to have some of the leading
Democrats of Hopkinsville arrest
ed under the recent Instructions O
Judge Evans, upon the claim that
they prevented negroes from voting
ing 1897, by locking them up and
guarding them until the polls
closed. twas not the intention t.
fire off this boomerang until after
the election, but it was too good for
some of the Republicans to keep.
>The KENTUCKIAN is informed that
all details have been arranged and
the warrants prepared in type
written form, giving the names of a
number of the best citizens of Hop
kinsville and Christian county.
Marshal James recent mystic
rious visit to this city is now ex-
planned. It is believed that the
chief conspirators in this nefarious
scheme are disreputable ward pol
iticiaus, who formerly affiliated
with the Democratic party, but who
are now controlled by the Republi-
cans and put forward whenever
they have dirty work to do. The
KENTUcKIAN is in possession of the
names and other particulars.
These steps are in line with the
desperate methods advised by Tay-
lor, Deboe and other Republicans,
who openly advocate force in their
speeches and predict bloodshed al
the polls.
Baffled in their purpose to steal
the election again this year, these
Republicans are driven to desPera-

al Judge on the eve of the election
are to be used in the effort tofrlght-

fraudulent votes be polled, and
talk of bloodshed is to be INDUCED

TERRIBLE DISASTER IN MINE
MANY MEN AND WOMEN ARE
KILLED BY EXPLOSION.
Two Malays Run Amuck On Board
a Ship at Singapore and Butcher
Six People.

Victoria, B. c., July 15.-Particulars
coal mine. Kyiushu, on the morning of
the 10Th ult., are at hand. \ tremen-
dous sound, accompanied by violent
quaking of the earth was experienced
by people living adjacent to the mine.
Instantly they rushed out of doors and
saw a column of dense black smoke is
suing from the pit, throwing pieces of
wood and other articles high up into
the air. A party of rescuers-for there
had been some 200 men m women
working in the mine when the disaster
occurred-essayed to go into the pit
from a side entrance, but were driven
back by the ~suffocating gas that filled
the pit.
Steps were at once taken to ventiate
the gas-laden pit. 1t was, however,
some time before the people could go
into the shaft. Up TO the night of the
18th only five bodies had been recov-
cred. charred and with terribly injured
limbs. The work of recovering corpSeS
was still going on when steamer Olym-
pia sailed.
Miners sheds have been changed into
big cl Q mel houses, where the CHASTITY
operations of washing blackened bodies,
coffining and c~ataloguing them are be-
ing carried on by a large number of
miners, VINO nave come from other
mines. In some cases whole families
have been annihilated. excepting the
infants and aged people. Mr.. K. Hira-
Okla, NJ. P, now travelling in America,
is the principal owner of the mine, and
the loss resulting from the disaster is
roughly estimated at 100, 900 yen.
A dreadful case of running amuck
recently occurred at Singapore on board
the steamer Pontianak. Two Malays,
father and son, ran about the ship with
daggers. stabbing everyone in reach,
while the cry of "amok" rang through
the ship. Captain Koenig brought down
the older fanatic with a bullet, but not
until the two Malays had killed six
people and wounded thir.een others.
A plot has been discovered in Seoul
for the dethronement of the emperor in
favor of Prince vi Chun You. The
conspiracy is the result of recent dyna-
mite outrages, the object of which is
supposed to have been the murder of
those ministers of state who advocated
the restoration of ancient and barbar-
u systems of Furnishing the relatives
of political offenders.

HE BELIEVES IN TRUSTS.
Edgar L. Newhouse Says They Are
Beneficial to the Public.

Denver, Colo, July 1.-THE sub-com-
mission on mining, of the United States
industrial commission, heard testimony
today in regard TO the smelling indus
try and the effects of the eight-hour
law. Edgar L. Newhouse. manager OF
the G-uggenheim smelter at Pueblo, tes-
titled that tht eight-hour schedule now
in effect at those works a made ii
necessary to raise the charges for the
treatment of high-grade ores. If the
shelter men demanded the same pay
for eight hours as for ten, he said. it
would undoubtedly cripple the smelt-
ing business and cause many mines to
be closed but they do not.
He would not undertake to explain
why the trust smelters had not been
able TO continue business on the eight
hour basis, the same as the Guggen-
helm plants. Neither would ne say
whether the Pueblo smelter was being
operated at a profit under the new ar
rangement. He believed that trusts, in
gneral, cheapened the cost Of produc-
ton and were beneficial to the public.
President Wright and other represen-
tatives of the smelter mems union of
Denver were examined regarding the
causes of the shutting down of the
trust smelters and they declared them
selves quite willing to submit matters
in dispute TO arbitration.

Especial Correspondence.)

Eureka, July 15.-Last night the hall
here was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with sporting men from all over
the district and many from outside
towns, all anxious to see the flstic en-
counter between young Thomas and
jerry Mccarthy. The fight, which
was for a purse of 5000 and the entire
gate receipts. vas the %cleanest and
most interesting exhibition that the
people of Tintic have ever had the op-
portunity of witnessing. From the first
round to the end of the tw%enty-ffth
both men were game and showed
great ability to stand punishment. In
the seventeenth and nineteenth rounds
Mccarthy was knocked down, but in
both cases, after cleverly resting, came
up in good condition and one sue
ceeded in putting his opponent on the
floor. During several rounds the fight
was a red-hot smuggling match, n
when the referee announced a draw
at the end of twenty-five rounds both
were very weak n considerably
bruised The referee, William Holmes,
did his work to the entire satisfaction
of the immense crowd present. All
bets were declared off. The men viii
probably come together again in the
near future.
The twenty-round glove contest be-
tween Australian Billy Edwards and
Jack Weday, champion middieweight of
Utah, for a bet of 5000 and gate re-
ceipts, will be pulled off here next Mon

Persisted In the Klondike.

Chicago. July 15.-Mrs. Josephine
Sutton. 3414 Forest avenue, has entered
a claim for a s35O.OOO estate left by a
miner who persisted in the Klondike
about two months ago, n according
to information received today from
Washington. she stands a good chance
of securing the fortune.
The dead man is supposed to have
been her husband, w. H.. Sutton, who
left Chicago two years ago for the
gold country and has never been heard
of since until Mrs Sutton read of his
death in the papers.
Mrs. Sutton communicated with the
state department, forwarding a minute
description of her husband. A descrip-
ton of the lead miner was also re-
ceived from James McCook, United
States consul general at Dawson City,
and the two descriptions tally so close
ly that there is little doubt that the
dead man was Mrs. Sutton's. husband.
If the authorities at Dawson City are
convinced Of the genuineness of Mrs.
Sutton's claims. Consul McCook VIII be
instructed to at once take steps to put
her in possession Of the estate.

The wheelmen are much disturbed
over the prospect of being driven from
the South Main street boulevard. AS a
legal proposition the supreme courts of
manv states have decided that a bicycle
is a light vehicle, and cannot be dis
eliminated against, but the wheelmen
do not care to law about the question.
All they ask is a six-foot strip on either
side of the drive. Such a concession
would increase the popularity of the
drive. n the cyclists would in no man
ner interfere with the horsemen. The
wheelmen will ask the city council for
this.

Cycling.

Salt Lake City cycling circles are all
aroused over cycle racing and every
one is proud of the splendid new track.
No one has been found who has not
agreed hat the racing on the board
track Thursday night was of the high
est order and even those who had
never seen a bicycle race before and
had never taken an interest in cycling
were enthusiastic over the sport.
Seven events in one hour and "a hall
is a record and the credit for his is due
largely to the splendid work of the
clerk of the course, W. 2. Fowler. One
event was hardly finished before the
hustling clerk had the starters in the
next heat ready for the line up and
was hardly time between the events for
the TO give the crowd the
time and announce the event or heat
to be run.
A band in the center of the track
would have livened up things wonder
fully, however, and the audience COM
mented freely on this oversight. Man.
ager Schefski says hat a band had
been engaged but through some unfor-
tunate mistake failed to put in an ap-
p~earance. The music will be forthcom-
ing, however, next Thursday night, and
will add greatly to the pleasure Of the
racing.
Probably the only disagreeable fea-
ture of the entire affair was the dusty
condition of the grounds and Ninth

grounds. The hundreds of trampling
