CALMER IN KENTUCKY.
Belief that Final Court Decisions VIII
Settle the Troubles.

Frankfort, KY, March l3.--The legls-
lature OF Kentucky adjourned today.
A conference between Adjutant Gen.
erals Collier and Castleman resulted in a
perfect understanding being reached.
Governor Taylor will continue to act as
governor. Governor Beckham will make
no move toward securing possession of
the State buildings until after the Court
of Appeals has decided the disputed
gCvernorship.
The legislature appropriated $780, 600
for the use of Governor Beckham in re-
organizing the State militia.
Among the more conservative element
in each party the opinion prevails that
the worst ia over, and that when the
Court of Appeals renders its decision, the
danger of civil war in the Common
wealth, which has been terribly imml'
nent, will have passed away entirely.
To the Democratic leaders with a full
understanding Of the situation, only one
cloud appears on the political horizon;
that il, Governor Taylor's future course.
Governor Taylor himself will not outline
his plan Of action, beyond the state
ment which he made to the Associated
Press correspondent today, that he
"would continue to act as governor"
Republicans in Governor Taylor's con-
fidence say that he will remain in Frank
fort in the discharge Of his duties until
the court of last resort passes upon the
question at issue. Then, if the decision
be against him he will step out at once
and turn over the State buildings to
Governor Beckham. The Republicans
will make every effort to carry the dis
pute into the federal courts in case the
decision of the Kentucky Court Of APP
peals is against them, but failing in this
they will consider the question settled,
.til believing a great wrong has been
done them.
The Democratic leaders assert. they
will cheerfully abide by the decision Of
the Court of Appeals.

MARCHERS F0ILED,

March Attempted in the Anthracite
Region.
Thousands of Marching Strikers Forced
Back from the open Mines by
the Militia.
Excitement Has its Effect and Part
of the Galleries are short
Handed

Tamigna, Oct. 1G-The biggest
march in the anthracite strike was
spoiled by police interference" this
morning.
Panther creek valley, the stronghold
of the Reading railway with ten big
collieries, had wlthstood the efforts OF
organizers to inspire strike sentiment.
Last night parties of miners started
from Hazelton, Freeland, McAdoo and
other towns nineteen miles over the
mountains to Panther creek
Another army formed in the Schuyl-
kill valley to strike between Coaldale
and Langford. Both columns were
to swoop down and close all mines.
In the meantime trainloads of coal
and iron police were rushed into Pan
ther creek valley. At Shenandoah
the fourth regiment guards and eight
companies were loaded on trains at
midnight and while the miners toiled
over the hills soldiers sped ahead,
dropping off company at time so
that the valley was surrounded at
:; o'clock this morning. The miners
headed by brass band and 800 women
came along and with sudden astonish-
ment rebounded from a quadruple line
of bayonets. The militia forced 1900
marchers back step by step, Lne
women forming Gordon right in
front so their hands often rested on
the bayonets as they sang songs and
jeered the soldiers. 1t took three
and half hours to drive the crowd a
mile and a half The second column
had uriven the Schuylkill men back
There were thousand of them but
500 managed to slip between the two
lines and closed the big colliery at
Nesquehoning. BY daylight the val
ley was cleared but the excitement did
lis work and not colliery worked
full handed.

Jamestown, Oct. 1G.-A big kick has
been sent in to Washington from
towns along the line Of the James
town & Northern, between Darlington
and Leeds, because Of the change Of
train service on the branch. Under
the new schedule the towns are re-
ceiving mail but three times week,
and the department at Washington IS
asked to establish a star route and
give them daily mail service. At
New Rockford petition has been
forwarded by the business men and
over two hundred ladies have signed
another petition which has been for
warded. Something less than a year
ago the postoffice department sent a
man to investigate the matter and he
recommended the establishment of a
star route service. A uaily train was
put on the j. & n shortly afterward
anu the matter was dropped. Now
an effort will be made to have action
taken at once and the towns are hope
full of success. In case star route
is established, the contract for carry
ing the mail by the Northern Pacific
between Darlington and Leeds will be
cancelled.
A train four days per week is now
run on the Cooperstown branch
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sat

and other towns along the line will
forward a kick to Washington. The

he owed. He thought he would leave
the country. Foster advised him not
to do SO, but the old man was da,e.-

with the report that conditions 1oo11

republicans than at any time during
