TRY TO AVOID A CLASH
COLLIER EXPLAINS WHIT RECENT
TRENCH DIGGING pNfEANS.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 25.-Not-
withstanding that troops recognizing the
dual governors were quartered within two
squares of each other, the Republican
troops at the state house, under orders
from Republican Gov. Taylor, and the
Democratic troops at the court house,
guarding prisoners Powers, Culton and
Davis, under orders from Democratic
Gov. Beckham, the day was quiet. The
Republican adjutant general, Collier, and
Democratic assistant adjutant general,
Murray, were together some time this
morning.
Gen. Collier called to disclaim respon-
sibility of the Minis which some of
the soldiers made a pretense of laying,
but it is understood their talk took on a
wider scope, and that they discussed this
mutually and agreed upon plans to avoid
possibility of any sort of clash be-
tween the troops.
The examining trial of Powers, it is
believed, will be completed either Tues
day or Wednesday, and that If Powers is
held over the other defendants will waive
examination. Wharton Golden, the star
witness for the commonwealth, whose
illness on the stand yesterday forced an
adjournment of the court until tomor-
row, IS reported by his physician as very
much improved tonight, and that he is
in better condition to go in the witness
box tomorrow than he was yesterday.

NO RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.

is anything like religious persecution of

nation In the Transvaal or Free State.

will give the greater share of It's time

Of the anima ted scenes of last week
Puerto Rico, however, according to pres
ent indications will step aside temporar-
lily at the beginning Of the week in order
to afford Senator Carter an opportunity
to secure consideration for his Alaskan
code bill.
The Republican caucus will take the
Puerto Rican question in hand again to-
morrow and until it acts the senators
having charge of the measure will not
desire TO press it. The Alaskan bill prob
ably will not arouse any general debate;
but the measure is a mass of detail and
it necessarily Will call for more or less
explanation from its trainers, the mem
bers Of the committee on territories.
The Republican senators who support
the house Puerto Rican tariff bill hope
to get the measure out of the caucus
after only one sitting, but the free trad
ers are not so anxious on that score and
the latter element may delay matters
there, as they are disposed to do in the
senate with the hope of receiving still
further encouragement from the country
at large Some Of the members Of the
free trade Republican element declare
thelr purpose TO vote against the Dill, Il
reported without amendment.
The Democratic senators will support a
free trade amendment when presented,
but they prefer to have the bill voted
upon unamended.
According to agreement, the nomination
of Mr.. Bynum to be appraiser at New
York should be taken up in the executive
session tomorrow, but the Republican
caucus may cause postponement of coll
sideration of the nomination for a day or
two. The Democratic leaders will oppose
confirmation.
The committee on privileges and cleo

in the case of Senator Clark beginning
on Wednesday. The report on the case
