TIE KENTUCKY LEGISLATORS.
Democrats and Republicans VIII
Meet at Frankfort Next Monday.


Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1.-THE agree
ment entered into at Georgetown yes
terday by which the Taylor and Beck
ham injunction suits were postponed
till Feb. 20 is to operate as truce in
the legal battle over the state offices,
and it is not probable that there will
be any decisive changes in the situa-
ton till then unless the return of the
Democratic legislature here next week
adds some unexpected feature. A part
of the attorneys on both sides held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed several plans for consolidating
the various injunction cases in order
to avoid clash between the different
state courts in which they are pending,
but final understanding was not
reached. A proposition, which is said
to meet with favor, is that all of the
cases be consolidated and be submitted
to judge of one of the neighboring
circuit court districts, excluding both
the Jefferson county and Franklin
county courts.
The Democratic legislature will ad-
5ourn to Frankfort. This conclusion
was reached at Louisville yesterday,
but quorum not being present in the
senate prevented the carrying out of
this plan. There was quorum today,
however, when concurrent resolution
was passed to resume sessions at
Frankfort on Monday.

Remarkable Nerve Throughout.
Sing Sing, N. Y, Feb. 17.-Roland
E. MolinelX is now in condemned
cell in the death house at Sing Sing
prison, awaiting execution the week be-
ginning March &c. There was Curl
Gus crowd about the station when he
reached here. MolineuX appeared cool
and did not seem to notice the crowd.
Molineux was taken at once to the
death house, where he took leave of
his father, his brother and Lawyer
Battle, who had accompanied him
from New York. He maintained his
wonderful nerve and shook hands with
each, and in parting with his father
said: Goodbye, governor" General
Molneux bore up bravely, but showed
that he was passing through fearful
ordeal.
Before being sentenced to death by
Recorder Golf in New York yesterday
afternoon Molineux was given per-
mission to speak on his application for
a new trial. He spoke without notes
and in clear, ringing voice, without
the slightest evidence of emotion. His
denunciation of Assistant District At
tcrney Osborne for the latter's assault
on the prisoners wife was especially
vigorous. He said: 81 denounce and
despise the action of the district attor-
ney in attempting to villify and attack
the character of the pure and lovely

AshHS inequalities.
New York, Feb. 17.-Four hundred
persons gathered in the African Meth
odist Episcopal Zion church last night
to listen to speakers on the subject of
the lynching of the negro. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the
Afro-American Council, of New York.
Bishop A. Walters presided, and the
platform vas filled with colored clergy
men. Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, chair
man of the anti-lynching bureau of the
council, spoke for more than an hour
on the experiences she had in work
Ing up the public sentiment to a point
where the council could be organized.
She said:
There are $50 lynchings a year In
the south. Not Is per cent of them is
really for the crime that has become
known falsely as the crime of the
negro-assault on white women. As
many negroes have been lynched in
the south for being saucy to white men
as for assaults on women. There is
a law in the south against carrying
concealed weapons. White men carry
them with impunity, but if negro
is caught with gun he is fined $50
and put in the chain gang for 60 days.
What we want now is money to send
men to investigate the reasons of
lynchings and convince the American
people that the reasons given are
false"
Congressman George H. White, of
North Carolina, followed. He said:
81 have bill that hope will be in
troduced In congress that will make
lynching treason against the state. 1t
is my hope that such measure can be
carried through and that lynching will
become thing OIL the past. At no
time in the history of the nation has
the race prejudice been SO strong"

New York, Feb. 17.-General Edward
Leslie Molineux, the father of Roland
B. Molineux, convicted of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams and
yesterday sentenced to death, has is
sued statement in which he ex-
presses heartfelt thanks "for the kind
ness OF my friends, and, more than
that, for the spontaneous expression,
on the part of many of whom l have
no personal acquaintance, of their be-
lief in the innocence of my son, and
their opinion that he has been unjustly
convicted.

raised for assisting the defense Of my
son. should not allow pride to pre-

ceive what should not be ashamed to
offer. But I owe no man dollar. and
] neither need nor desire any assist
ance of such character.

Justice of Almighty God, in the devoted
love and comfort of noble wife, my
sons and their wives all united, all
certain in the innocence of Roland
Burnham Molineux, and certain that 1t

myself no other assistance and no
other comfort or support. But for my
household l do need, and do appeal
for the support of the prayers of all
those of every denomination and of
every faith who, like myself, feel that
my son is innocent and the victim of
an unjust persecution.
AS for my sons, trust that they
are brave men, with the strength to
live and die bravely. l have seen my
son Roland sleep as a child by his
mothers side; have seen him asleep
in his cell after the verdict condemn
ing him to death had been pronounced.
Who is better able than I, his father,
to judge whether that sleep was the
natural sleep Of innocence? And l
have heard his first words, on awaken
ing at the call of his father, from that
sleep after the verdict: How is
Blanche? How Is mother" and be-
fore that sad awakening, during all
the dreary days of his confinement,
day by day, week by week, month by |
month, there has been always that
first loving cry from his lips for
Blanche and mother Can he be |
guilty Of cowardly poisoning? l know
that he is innocent as l know that l
am alive"

Swallowed Glass With whisky.

Allentown, Pa, Feb. 17.--JOhn Roe
BILE, tramp, was found dead in cell
at the police station here yesterday,
and Patrick Murphy, fellow tramp
with Roeble, is in a serious condition.
Roeble and Murphy attacked man in
Catasauqua Thursday night who was
carrying gallon deinijohn of whisky.
During the sculile the demijohn fell to
the ground and broke. The tramps
scooped up the running liquor, to-
gether with the broken glass, with
their hands and swallowed enough to
make them helplessly drunk. Both
were arrested. Roeble's death and MUIR
phys condition are believed to have
been caused by their swallowing pieces
of the broken glass along with the
whisky.

PENSION APPLICANTS
They Cause a Sectional Discussion
in the National House.
THE LAWMAKERS ANNUAL JOKE,

They Strike From the Legislative
Appropriation All Provision For
the Civil Service Communication, and
Then Place 1t Again In the Bill.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE house
yesterday INDUCED in its annual joke
by striking from the legislative ap-
preparation bill all provision for the
civil service commission. This ac-
Mon is taken each year In committee
Of the whole. where members do not go
on record, and the provision is then
invariably restored when the bill gets
back In the house, where members
have to respond to their names upon
roll call. The vote yesterday to
strike out was rs to 67. Today the
house reversed this action, as usual,
on an aye and nay vote.
Most of the time the house, beyond
that occupied in the discussion of the
civil service law, was devoted to at
tacks upon the speech made by Mr.
Sims (Tenn.) on Wednesday, in which
he furnished some figures Of the PEN
sion office giving the number of appli-
cations for pensions filed by soldiers of
the volunteer regiments engaged in the
Spanish war, to show that the north
ern soldiers were much more clamor-
Gus in that regard than the southern
ers, and attributed this to the debauch-
ing of public sentiment In the north
on the pension question. Mr. Pearre
(Md.) raised the storm by reference
to those figures and the statement that
hundreds of Massachusetts soldiers
who never smelled powder had applied
for pensions. This brought out an in
dignant reply from Mr.. Fitzgerald
(Mass.), who detailed the record of the
Massachusetts volunteers in the late
war. He was followed by others who
defended the records of the soldiers
from their several states. Considerable
temper was displayed during the de-
bate.
Consideration of the financial meas
ure having been concluded. discussion
of the Philippine question was resum-
ed in the senate yesterday. Mr.. Nc
Emery tLa.) strongly opposed the
permanent acquisition of the islands,
and believed the United States ought
to relinquish them as soon as the au-
thorty of this country had been as
serted. Mr.. Stewart took a pronounced
position In favor Of the admission of
the products Of any Of the island pos
sessions of the United States free Of
duty. The bill providing form of
government for the territory of Ha-
wall was read, but beyond that formal
ity nothing was done with 1t.
