KENTUCKY CONTEST.
Brief Filed In the Case In United Stat
Supreme Court.

Brief Filed In the Case In United States
Supreme Court.
Consul for Hon William S. Ia ylor
aud John Marshall, in the contest in
the supreme court over the Office of
governor and lieutenant-governo of
Kentucky, have filed their briefs. After
reviewing the various points involves
the brief concludes as follows:
We will not attempt any resume of
the argument; we have attempted to
SO divide it as not to confuse it. We
simply insist that the pretended ad1ndi-
cation which is pleaded by Mr.. Beck
ham as the foundation of his action
whereby he seeks to take from William
5. Taylor and John Marshall the offices
to which they certainly had the ad-
mitted prima faeie right and whe Feby
he seeks to make himself the COVE NOR
of kentucky and the chief magist rate
of her people, is an absolute null lity.
We feel that in this case is inyol we'd
the question of whether we are pdliti
cal freemen or political serfs; whe ther
we have in Kentucky a republic OF an
oligarchy; whether we vote by right
secured by the law or by grace of a few
men. 1t matters not that these men
may themselves .have been elected.
They were given no commission by the
people to select governor for them;
aud as said by Mr.. Jefferson in sp peak-
ing for himself and his eompatriots. an
elective despotism was not the gov ern-
ment we fought for. We have been
denied Republicanism; the print tiple
has failed in its duty and we cal on
guarantor to make good its guara nty.
We ask for the protection of liberty
and property against the arbitrary ex
ercise of the powers of the govern
meut. ~

TERRELL A FRIEND OF SULTAN
Presidents State Gives Him Unqualified Endorsement and
Solid Delegation; "IEpeakable Turk" Praised
By Former Minister to Ottoman Empire.

Austin, Tex, April 26.-When asked
for an expression as to the merits of
the United States claim against Iur-
key for indemnity for the burning of
missionary property during the Ar
menian troubles ex-United States Min
lister A. w. Terrell, now residing in
this city, said:
Il entirely agree with Gen. Lew
Wallace in his estimate of the sultan
of Turkey. We claim indemnity for
the burning OF missionary property at
Harpoot and Maras, places then domi-
mated by Kurds and a fanatical popu-
lace and remote at the time from con-
sular protection. Missionaries claim
that the burning was done with the
aid or connivance of Turkish soldiers.
The porte has insisted that 1t was
done by Kurds and by an ungovernable
mob. Our claim is sustained by cir
cumstances resting on missionary evil
dence, the denial of Turks is sus-
tanned by official reports by Turkish
officers and pashas, and the issue Of
fact has not been settled by any i'm
partial tribunal. The burning was
done during the Armenian massacres,
and the Iufds have been the enemies
Of the Armenians from the time Of
Xenophon.
I'VE should not forget that, al
though Father Saloitere, an Italian
priest. and subjects of other Christian
powers were slain during the mas
sacres. no American citizen was hurt.
Turkish soldiers placed them by the
sultan protected them.
Il pressed our claim for indemnity
to the utmost limit of friendly diplo-
macy while in Turkey. If the sultan
has ever promised to pay it he will
keep his word. and II he ever made
the promise he will not deny il. We
should hesitate long before resortine
to force"

LOW WAGES RULE
IN GERMAN SHOPS

Washington, April 25.-Consul John
r. Kehl, at Stettin, has furnished the
state department with a number OF
interesting facts concerning labor and
wages in Germany. The number of
working people in the German empire,
says Consul Kehl, is estimated at TO-
100000, of which number 100000 are
females, and with the increased cost
OF living and the disproportionate ad-
vance in wages anything but a favor
able outlook for the working classes
is presented.
The wages Of household servants per
month, including board, range from
$2i4 for kitchen servants to 1852 in
the case of fOotmen. In shipbuilding
yards the weekly compensation ranges
from S2.S5 for boy rivet heaters to Sc
paid to molders. Seamens wages in
coasting vessels per month are from
s428 for cabin boys to s26.16 to the
first mate. Captains of vessels are al
lowed Al cents per day for each Of
ficer and 29 cents for the balance of
the crew, with which ito find food"
American labor, says the consul. re-
ceiyes treble the wages paid in Ger
many, although the cost of food is
from 10 TO so per cent cheaper in the
United States than in that country.
Tea, OF the quanty for which we pay
but 60 cents per pound, costs Germans
s1e5.
