the general government for assistance
Federal troops will be ordered to Ken

upon representations of the state au-
thorities that they had exhausted all
their resources and were powerless to
deal with the situation.

sued the following address to the peo-
pie:
10 the People of Kentucky: The most
lamentable condition of affairs ever ex-
perienced by our people has rendered
prompt action on the part of the chief
executive of the state absolutely neccs-
sary.
A long series of unprecedented and un-
lawful acts practiced by those In charge
of the legislative interests of the state
has eliminated In the most fearful con-
dition of the period to the state. The
dreadful tragedy which occurred yes
terday shocked and startled all, and
can be no more sincerely deplored by any
one than myself.
TO attempt to legislate under such con-
ditions of excitement and threatened
violence as now prevails in Frankfort
would be sheer madness, and have. there
FORE in the exercise of my constitutional
powers adjourned the legislature to con-
vene in London, Ky, on Feb. 8.
/ have taken every precaution to pre-
serve the peace. that every citizen may
know that life and property are safe. and
will be protected with every resource of
the commonwea ealth. l trust that In this
laudable effort I will have the support
of every law abiding citizen of Kentucky.

FUN AT THE LEGISLATURE.
Soldiers and Assemblymen Race
Through the Streets.

Frankfort. Ky. Jan. 3l.--This morning
not a member of the legislature knew
whether or not they would be permitted
to meet in the capitol building. All they
knew was that soldiers were guarding
every gate and that nobody would be al
lowed to enter without pass. They de-
cided, however, to meet in the Capital
hotel and march in a body to the state
house.
Colonel Williams permitted Clerk Lee,
Assistant Stone and II few representa-
tives to pass upstair. Then the main
body came tramping through the door
way They were stopped by the soldiers.
Loud cries of eXclamations filled the air,
and Colonel Williams, mounting halfway
up the stair, shouted:
Gentlemen, l hold in my hands a
proclamation issued by the governor of
Kentucky which l will read"

Thomas Heffner, owner of the opera

building is private property, he said, and
the militia had no right to keep anybody
from it. His protest was ignored by
Lieutenant Colonel Gray and demanded

Mr.. Trmble addressed the crowd:

who had orders to remain at the opera
house and could not leave. The triumph
for the lawmakers was short lived, how
ever Before they had gone one huE-
dred feet a second company Of soldiers
fianked them. The second heat of the
race was now on and away went the dig
nitied senators and representatives down
the street in a cloud of dust yelling like
pack of Indians. Alongside ran the
soldiers.
1t was the same story over again. and
the legislators were permitted to look at
the outside of the court house while the
soldiers held the path.
The Republican members of the legis-
lature will leave at once for LONDON,
pursuant to Governor Taylor's instruc-
tions for the legislature to meet there
next Tuesday.

the heart of the country from which hail
the mountaineers who have from time
to time come to Frankfort.
The county Is one of the strongest Re
publican counties in the state, and its
inhabitants are for the most part radical
