CLEVELAND, o., February 2.-Jas.
Finnigan superintendent of the ship

eye back into the socket, and in doing
so carried the eyelid in with it. He was
blind for the time being, and the pain
was awful. Finigan was removed to
the Cleveland general hospital where
DR.. Smith took the eye out again and
replaced it properly. Finnigan is now
able TO be at work. The case among
occulists is said to be one of the
strangest ever heard of.

they will Iact as advisers of Goebel in

is the legal governor. and that the
courts will uphold him.
Senator Lindsey remained with the
President a quarter of an hour after
the delegation had left. On leaving
the White House he said that it was
the opinion of the authorities that a
case had not been made out which
would warrant
Federal Interference
In Kentucky, and that he Lindsey
was disposed to share that view. The
senator said further that he did not
believe there would be any more blood
shed, and that before the week closed
the present difficulties would be
amicably settled, or in fair way of
settlement.
Upon being asked to-day why the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky had refused to leave
the settlement of the controversy to the
U. S. Supreme Court, Senator Lindsay. who
is an eminent lawyer, replied that doubt
less it was because they considered that
the United States court had no jurisdic-
ton. He added that the State court did
have jurisdiction and as it was supposed
TO be friendly it was not reasonable to ask
the Kentucky Democrats to go to an out

concerning whose predictions or preju-

WASHINGTON, February "A del
egation of Kentucky Democrats con-

Representatives Rhea, Wheeler, Smith,
Allen and Gilbert and Col. Phil.
Thompson called upon President Nc
Kinley to-day at the White House to
protest against federal interference in
the contest in Kentucky.
Senator Lindsey arrived soon after
the delegation had been admitted and
was Immediately ushered into the
Presidents private Office, where the
conference was in progress.
Senator Blackburn and Representa-

tive Rhea acted as spokesman. They
explained their deep solicitude lest
collision should occur between the
warning elements in Kentucky and
made the report that Gov. Taylor had
solicited federal intervention the text
of their protest. They assured the
President that the law and Constitu-
ton of Kentucky had been strictly fol-
lowed by the Democrats in the contest
over the Governorship and that they
proposed to stand by the law. The
crisis that had arisen they desired
should be met in the courts and de-
termined by the law. The Democrats,
they asserted,
Would Abstain From Violence.
They simply desired a lawful and ord
erly settlement of the controversy.
Federal intervention would only ag-
gravate matters, intensity the excite
ment and almost certainly lead to
trouble and perhaps loss Of life. They
earnestly appealed to the President to
avert such calamity by abstaining
from interference of any sort.
Senator Blackburn and Representa-
tive Rhea said that they were going
to Kentucky to counsel peace and
obedience TO the law.
Senator Lindsey endorsed what his
colleagues had said about the Demo-
Gratis acting within the law and con-
stitution no matter how much men
might differ as to the wisdom and JUS
tice of the merits of the contest. The
dispatch of Federal troops to Ken
lucky, he said, would in his opinion
create anarchy and chaos.
The president, in reply. expressed
his great anxiety over the situation,
his profundest wish that violence be
avoided and that the contest should
be legally determined. He assured
the delegation in general way that
he deplored the situation, and that
Federal interference would come only
as the last resort. after having been
invoked by the proper authorities un-
der
The Law and Constitution.
While the president spoke in general
terms the delegation expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with his
assurances. The members OF the dele
CATION when they left the White House
said they had counseled their friends
in Kentucky to avoid violence at any
cost and they said they were satisfied
that If trouble came it should be par
ticipated by their political adversar-
les.

the operation of his injunction. 1t is
equally certain that the Republicans
will pay no attention to Judge Cantrill
or his writs. The Democrats claim
that the action of the Republicans in
arresting Walker while he was at
tempting to carry out the orders OF
the court, has placed them in contempt
and they will make all of the point
possible.
