Washington, Feb. Enquiry was

KENTU0KIANs SEE PRESIDENT.
Say Federal Interference Would BE
Sure to Result In Trouble.


Washington, Feb. IA Kentucky
delegation consisting of Senator Elect
Blackburn, Representatives Rhea, Smith,
Allen and Gilbert and Representative
Thompson called on President Mckinley
to protest against any federal interfer-
ence in that state. Senator Lindsay was
also present, but he did not come with
the other gentlemen.
The Kentuckians said that federal in
reference would be sure to result in seri-
Gus trouble as the first movement of
troops would cause an uprising not easily
quelled. They expressed the opinion that
the difficulties would be adjusted without
further violence il the people of Ken
lucky were allowed to settle the matter
themselves.
Senator Blackburn and Representative
Shea said that they were going to Ken
tucky to counsel peace and obedience to
the law. Senator Lindsay indorsed what
his colleagues had said about the Demo-
Gratis acting within the law and constita-
tion, no matter how much men might diff
ser as to the wisdom and justice of the
merits Of the contest. The dispatch Of
federal troops to Kentucky, he said,
would, in his opinion, create anarchy and
chaos.
The president in reply expressed his
great anxiety over the situation, his pro-
foundest wish that violence be,.avoided
and that the contest should be legally de-
termined. He assured the delegation in
general way that he deplored the situ-
alton and that federal interference would
come only as the last resort, after hav-
ing been invoked by the proper authori-
,ln,. fI..I In.x
While the president spoke in general
terms, the delegation expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with his as
surances. The members of the delega-
tion when they left the White House said
they had counseled their friends in Ken
tucky to avoid violence at any cost, and
they said they were satisfied that if
trouble came it would be precipitated by
their political adyersaries. They will act
as advisers of Goebel in the legal pro-
ceedings that are to be instituted. They
assert that Goebel is the legal governor
and that the courts will uphold him.
Senator Lindsay remained with the
president 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 case
had not been made out which would
warrant federal interference in Kentucky
and that he Lindsay was disposed to
share that view. The senGtor said fur
thcr that he did not believe there would
be any more bloodshed and that before
the week closed the present difficulties
would be amicably settled or in fair
way of settlement.
Upon being asked why the Democrats
Inf II al 4.,1 ~
tlement Of the controversy to the United
States supreme court, Senator Lindsay,
who is an eminent lawyer, replied that
doubtless it was because they considered
that the United States court had no jlris-
dction. He added that the state court
did have jurisdiction, and, as it was sup
posed to be friendly, it was not reason
able to ask the Kentucky Democrats to
go to an outside court which had no iuris-
diction and concerning whose predilec-
tions or prejudices nothing was known.

STRENGTH AND ACTIVITY
Sugar Only Lost One Point, Closing
at III and American Tobacco
Held Its Own. American Se-
curities In London Were De-
cidedlv Dali But Firm.

The market showed continued strength
and activity yesterday. with some slight
recessions, which were to be expected
from realization OF profits. Is would be
unrea' enable 10 suppose that after the
extensive short covering such as has
taken place in the past two or three
days, a reaction in some stocks would
not occur. Ii is apparent, though, that
the course of the market is making it
attractive to the public, who are begin
ming, even though to moderate extent,
to come in again. The advance in the
steel stocks was again a feature yester-
day, in which for the first time I. G. &
|. and Q. F. /. figured prominently. The
movement in I. G. & l. is regarded by
specialists as the beginning of qnte an
extended upward swing, and q. +. |. is
making excellent earnings, said TO be at
the rate of 10 per cent. on it's common

prominent in buying than in the selling,
notwithstanding considerable ,rofit tax.
ing. In the afternoon Poop es Gas was
taken in hand, and advanced considera-
oly on the ground that considering its
earnings the stock at present prices is
very cheap. The feature of the market
yesterday was the break in Third Ave-
nue., it selling down to 9S9, and it being
supposed that in order to pay the 6 per
cent. interest on the new three-year
notes to take up the floating debt the
dividends on the stock cannot be earned,
and will consequently have to be passed.
The other traction stocks were very
strong.
The buying OF American Tobacco was
remarkably good and insiders are very
bnllish on the stock. In the railr BAD
shares Atchison Preferred was the most
prominent, large capitalists investing in
IL very heavily. There was an excellent
demand for the Grangers and one well
known banking honse bid for large
amounts OF Burlington, but only about
800 shares were offered. Money at its
present low level is seeking investment,
and the dividend-paying Granger stocks
look very attractive to investors. I'm
doubtedly sentiment is very bullish, and
yet holders with profits in sight feel like
| realizing on the came. This may make
the market fol- short time to come a
narrow one.
In London the market for American
securities was dul, but firm. Quota
tions were practically at our closing bid
prices, or better. The war office denied
receiving direct information from Buller,
but it was given out in Downing STREET
that British forces are again reconnoiter-
ing at Modder river. New York foreign
houses have moderate buying order aud

New York, Feb. 2.--R. q. Dun & Co. Is
weekly review Of trade sayS
Failures in January were 80 fewer
than last year, but in liabilities larger by
34.2 per cent, though smaller than in
the same month of any previous year
Beginning to compare with the most re-
markable year in the history of business,
we meet ut the outset smaller solvent
payments, smaller new orders for the in
dustries and larger failures in manufac-
turing, in trading and in other CONNER
cial lines. Manufacturing failures were
also slightly larger than in January,
lS9S, but smaller than in any other year.
while trading failures were smaller than
III any year except the last.
December disasters in speculation had
some continuing influence, but the
months aggregate would have been reck-
oned quite satisfactory if it were not for
last years unprecedented record. Large
failures do NOT explain the increase. The
most noteworthy feature is that the
small failures, though not more numerous
than last year. were larger in manufac-
turing and trading alike, though in only
six Of the Il manufacturing classes and
nine of the trading.
This year starts with much OF the
years business already done. ana al
comparisons viii prove misleading ii that
fact is not taken into account. This
year the works were already crowded
for months ahead in most lines, ana
prices had already advanced so far that
recol had already commenced in some
branches and was thought probable in
others.
