NO FEDERAL INTERESTS MENACED.
LITTLE PROBABILITY THAT TROOPS WILL
BE SENT INTO KENTUCKY.

Washington, Jan. 31.-It cannot be learned
that the change in the situation In Kentucky
resulting from the adjournment of the Legis
lature has altered the views Of the Administra-
ton as to the wisdom and necessity for inter
vention with troops In the States affairs. There
is great ignorance here as to the exact provi-
sons of the Kentucky Constitution relative to
adjournments and recesses. and much depends
upon that point. One member of the Admin
stration asserted, regardless of statements in the
news dispa tches that the Legislature tech
nically in a state of recess. If that be true, of
course the power to call for troops could not be
exercised by the Governor at this time. An
other member pointed out that assuming
the Legislature stood adjourned. the United
States Constitution provided that the Governors
call could be recognized only when the Legis-
lature could not be convened, and he wanted to
know If it was asserted that this state OF facts
existed.
When the point was made that United States
troops might go into Kentucky without call to
protect the property of the United States and
the mails and interstate commerce, it sug-
gested that so far ii had not been shown that
any of these interests remotely
dengered by the developments at Frankfort.
Altogether. already stated it is apparent
that, lacking entirely the disposition to use
troops in behalf of either party to the COM
plication in Kentucky, the Administration would
be moved from its present position only by some
exceedingly radical change in the condition of
affairs.
