OF the petitions.
Judge Scott and Breckenridge stated to-
night they would remain here until AFTER
the hearing next Monday afternoon, and
they will likely be joined by other counsei
from Kentucky tomorrow. Governor BRAD
ley wired that he had mailed tonight
copies OF both petitions as revised 10 that
time. Although Judge Taft to-day told the
Democrats he would postpone the hear
ing on Monday II they did not have time TO
prepare their cases. they state they do not
want any delay. Robert j. Breckenridge
stated he would waive service so far as ne
Is concerned and the attorneys thought all
the Democrats would do likewise. The Re
publican attorneys have, however. dis
patched messengers to Frankfort and
Louisville we'll to the respective
homes of the defendants with copies OF the
petitions and service on them accordingly.
II Is stated the petitions are not ike
those drawn up for filing in the United
States District Court before Judge Evans
one week ago. Col. Henry Watterson, ed1-
tor Of the Louisville Courier Journal. was
at the st. Nicholas to-day with Attorneys
Scott and Breckenridge.
Later tonight Hon. r. ]. Breckenridge
decided to return to Frankfort and Louis
vile to consult friends. Previous to his
departure he, as well as others, saw copies
of the petitions. AS il was not known that
he would be here to-day a messenger had
been dispatched to his home in Kentucky

petitions in each case are quite voluminous.
and cover the grounds heretofore outlined
under Article 4, Section of the federal Con-
stitution, with which the Goebel election
law is said to be in conflict by the state
commission being given judicial power. The
petitions deal more with questions of fact
than of law, covering at length the recent
reorganization of the State Board Of Elec-
ton Commissioners and holding that 1T is
disqualified as reorganized on The ground
OF prejudice and for other reasons that are
specified both collectively and individually
against the membership of the present
state board. In referring to the facts the
fourteenth amendment. as well as other
parts of the federal Constitution are cited
as being violated by the state board as
against the citizens. There are numerous
citations of the state law and endless cita-
tions of facts, especially in connection with
the election in Jefferson and Kenton and
other counties. The petitions have been
printed for circulation.
The defendants have retained Lawrence

CUBANS WANT TO LEARN
OVER 1000 AMERICANIZED SCHOOLS
ESTABLISHED IN THE ISLAND.
Nearly All Started within Six Weeks
Attendance Over 10O.OOO-Prepara-
tions for an Election ON May L.

HAVANA. Feb. 9-Mr. Alexis Frye. SUI
perintendent of Cuban schools, in his re-
port to the governor general upon the de-
velopment of the school system since the
work of reorganization began, six weeks
ago, says the whole country seems on fire
with enthusiasm for education. The popu-
lar feeling exceeds all he had ventured to
hope for. Six weeks ago there existed In the
island less than 200 schools, all based on the
old Spanish foundations. with the exception
of a few that had been established more
than a year before in Santiago by General
Wood. There are now 2,05S schools in the
island. of which POI are in Havana city.
152 Matanzas city and 10 in Puerto Princi-
pc city.
Thus far reports have been received from
ninety-seven municipalities and there are
thirty-four others to be heard from. which
will probably increase the number Of
schools by 400. The schools that have al
ready reported show an aggregate attend
ance Of more than 100000 pupils. and Mr..
Frye believes this attendance will have
increased to 10000 before June 1.
General Wood will appoint a mixed COM
mission of autonomists, revoutionists and
Americans to arrange the details of an
election to be held on May /. This COM
mission will decide as to the method Of
taking the ballot and as to all other mat
tiers pertaining to the first election.

General Roloff wishes to put on the rolls

ton the names of all who assisted in any
way in the revolution, whether they fought
or not. The ultra revolutionary element
is strongly against giving the suffrage to
those Cubans who have become naturalized
American citizens, declaring that men who
voluntarily gave up their country to save
either their property or their skins are not
the sort of citizens needed by new Cuba.
On the other hand those who favor giving
the suffrage to that class contend that IL

something more definite is known as TO

edge OF the murder.
The authorities expect TO obtain impor-
tant evidence regarding the assassination
from Silas Jones. He has already made
partial confession. He declares that he per-

says that Harlan Whitaker, who ar

Jones gave more information than that re-

the police may lead to further arrests in
the neighborhood of Richmond, Madison
county. Kentucky. Gottschalk was released
tonight.
Gottschalk and Jones are cousins. The
latter says he came with the mountaineer
excursion. Both are said to have slept in
the executive building the night before
Goebel was assassinated. Jones says he
applied to Taylor and Finley for pay for
coming here. He says this was promised
him by others in advance, but they would
not settle and he could not get out of town.
He says he did not know what he was
brought here for. Although the detectives
have been examining and cross-examining
Jones all afternoon and evening, outsiders
have not been permitted to see or talk TO
him. The detectives believe this to be the
most important arrest yet made. Jones is
said to have been sleeping in a vacant
house. only coming out at night, and had
been here for a week prior to the asassina-
ton.

INSURANCE LOSSES.
Fire Underwriters of New York State
Out $5,OOO,OOO.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 9.-The fire insur-
ance companies operating in New York
State lost more than 100000 during the
last year. This condition is shown in the
annual report of State Superintendent of
Insurance Payn, which was submitted to
the Legislature to-oay. 1.-The statistics pre-
sented indicate that the results OF the fire
insurance business Tor 1899 have been dis
astrous to the insurance companies as a
body" says the report, land had 1t not
been for the appreciation in the market
value of their securities the loss would
have been still greater. The fire premiums
received were SIS. 1863. 725.79; fire losses in
Cured. $1s.045, 1854. The estimated amount
Of expense for the transaction of this busi-
ness is Sc. 49,. 9os 60. which. If added to the
incurred losses, makes a total of $24533.-
AlA. showing. as compared with the
premium receipts, an apparent net excess
of S,0i012165.
"In looking for the cause find that the
losses through the country in the com
panies reporting to this department have
been increased during the year by s14, 1885,
ALB. Examination also shows that the
average rate of premium charged by all
companies has materially decreased from
year to year. During the last four wears
many state legislatures have passed anti
compact laws, which nave prevented COM
panies from utilizing their combined ex-
perience and judgment in determining the
adequacy of premiums for fire insurance
and in enforcing rules and regulations de-
signed for the purpose of preventing fires.
The continued and continuing assaults on
the insurance companies threaten serious
impairment of their resources and their
ultimate destruction, unless this crusade is
stopped"
Mr.. Payn recommends that the State
and not each individual company, shall
pay for the cost of each examination of its
financial condition made by the State De-
partment. He recommends. also. the re-
peal of the retaliatory law.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. ga very i'm
portant and far-reaching decision was rem
dered by Judge Lochren to-day. The case
was that of Frank A. Dix, as agent of a
brand of baking powder, who had been
convicted in the Municipal Court for the
violation of the new baking-powder law of
1899. The case was taken to the United
States Circuit Court on a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus. Judge Lochren de-
cided that the act could not be regarded as
an inspection measure, was an unreason-
able exercise of the police power. and If
other state legislatures should adopt
measures of similar kind it would amount
to a burdensome restriction of commerce
between the States and prohibition of such
commerce. and therefore the law was I'M
constitutional in either aspect.
