TROOPS SENT HOME
MOST OF THE MILITIA AT FRANKFORT
GET ORDERS TO LEAVE.

Two Companies Retained to Do Police
Duty Around the Capitol and Guard
Public lsuildings-Governor Taylor Will
Not Sign the Peace Pact, But Allow the
Courts to Settle the Matter.
FE ANKFoaT, Ky, Feb. 12.-All day
long troops have poured out of Frank
fort on special trains and now only the
soldiers from Covington, Newport, Lex
ington and Morgantown are camped in
the capitol square. The leaving of the
troops was the only feature of the day
i'll the political situation in Frankfort.
Adjutant General Collier said that few
companies of infantry would be kept on
duty here for short time to do police
work around the capitol square and
guard the public building. They would,
he said, interfere i'll no way with the
actions of the members of the legislature
and access to the legislative halls would
be as free and unrestricted as it was be-
fore Governor Taylor issued the proc
lamation declaring Frankfort in state
of insurrection.
No intimation has been received here
as to whether or not the Democratic
members Of the legislature would ad-
journ their session at Louisville and
come to Frankfort to take part in the
general session. It is believed here,
however, that they will do so probably
by the latter part of the week.

Swept Away by Plaques.

Italy once had plague that killed
10000 persons daily. Five hundred a
day died in Rome. In one year 100000
citizens Of Constantnople died. The
epidemic of 1919 was the worst ever
visited on man. In Asia 23,00O,00O per-
ishcd by it and in Europe 25,OOO,OOO.
In London 200 persons were buried
daily in the Chartcrhousc yards. It.
was called "black DEATH" The plague
in England in 1471 destroyed more peo-
pie than the continual wars for the Is
preceding years.
"Swcating Sickness" prevailing in
England for three years. killed half the
population Of all the capital towns and
depopulated Oxford. 1t was mortal in
three hours. The great plague of Lon
don in 1864 carried off 100000 people.
A transport with soldiers on board,
from Sardinia to Naples, brought
plague that destroyed 100000. An cpl
dcmic started in Marscilcs by ship
from the Levant killed over 10000.

CHICAGO BUILDING STRIKE.
Seven Thousand Union Men Locked Out
NV COntr0ctO Ors

seven Thousand Union Men Locked Out
ny Contractors.
CHICAGO, Feb. l2.-Seven Thousand
more workingmen who have been en-
gagged on buildings in course of con-
struction here have quit work. This
act, it is asserted, marks the real begin
ming of a war between labor and the
contractors which will suspend building
operations in Chicago for a period, the
end Of which no one secs. The men are
members of various unions affiliated
with the Building Trades Council:
Their rules, with the exception of the
Bricklayers Union, provide for a hoi-
day every Saturday afternoon.
The ultimatum of the contractors re-
Gently delivered does not allow Of this,
and in consequence when the men quit
work at noon, according to custom, the
contractors declared that the act con-
stituted strike, and announced that as
fast as possible nonunion men would be
secured to replace the strikers. Union
leaders claim that they have not struck,
but have been locked out. They also
assert that the contractors cannot secure
enough men to continue their work.
The Building Trades Council has a
membership estimated at $4,000 men,
and this force will be used to prevent
the resumption of work by non union
labor and vanquish the contractors who
have taken stand against the unions,
refusing, they say, to longer submit to the
arbitrary dictates of organized labor, ~
in fixing working hours and the amount
of work to be done in q day

Clever AdYertiHerA,

A clever advertising scheme was en-
ploycd by firm In southern city.
The junior partner of the firm swOre
out a warrant for the arrest Of the SEN
ior partner on the ground that he was
selling goods below cost and that the
firm was constantly losing money
thereby.
The case came up in court, and the
counsel for the senior partner asked
for a postponemcnt in order to have
more time to prepare his case. The
judge granted the request, bail was
fixed and the senior member released.
AS he left the courtroom the Junior
partner arose and exclaimed, "If he is
released, the sacrifice will go onw
The news soon spread, and the firm
did a better business.
When the case was again called, no
plaintiff appeared, and the charge was
dismissed. The firm had succeeded in

BRITISH RETIRED
POSITIONS NEAR COLESBERG MADE
UNTENABLE BY THE BOERS.

Fighting Continued for Two Days, the
Beers Making Double Turning Move-

Ftanks-Roberts' Line of Communica-
ton to Modtler River Threatened.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-A dispatch to Tho
Daily Mail from Rensberg, dated Tues.
day, says:
"There has been hard fighting for two
days near Colesberg, the Beers making
strenuous efforts to outfank the British
there. The enemy occupies strong posi-
tions from Achtereang, through Potion
tein, to point five miles south of JAS
fontein.
"The fighting at our outpost camps
has been very severe during the last few
days. Yesterday the Beers attacked
the position of the Worcestershires to
the south Of Colesberg. Fighting con-
tinued all day and after dark it was con-
sidered necessary to withdraw to Rens-
berg. Our losses are not yet known.
"On the left the West Australians,
Wiltshircs and Berkshires had hot fight
ing, but held their positions against long
odds. The Boer losses were consider
able.
"Owing to the growing difficulty ex-
perienced by conveys in reaching the
camps all of the latter were vacated last
night and tho troops withdrew to Rens-
berg.
"The Beers are burning the farms Of
the loyalists, but the latter have con-
trived to get away with their stock"

Governor Taylor Refuses to Sign the
Louisville Peace Agreement.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 12.-Acting
Governor Taylor has finally decided not
to sign the Louisville agreement. He
stated his determination to continue
fighting for Republican control of the
state administrative Offices pending a
Judicial decision between Republican and
Democratic claimants. He assumed that
the exigency requiring legislative ses-
sion at London had passed and sum-
moned the legislature to meet in this
city. He ordered his adjutant general,
Collier, to send home the state troops
now assembled here.
These steps Governor Taylor took
after comforting in secret at the state
house with $50 prominent Republicans
from all parts of the state. The con-
ference, presided over by Judge George
Denny, heard Governor Taylor outline
the two courses open to him and his
party-tirst, to sign the agreement, or
to stand pat and let the law courts de.
eide. They decided almost unanimously
for the latter course,

AN UNPLEASANT EFFECT.
News From Rensberg Not Felislled by the
British Public.

1brlClSn I'uDllcs
LONDON, Feb. 14.-The enforced re-
tirement of the British from the Coles
berg district and probably under heavy
loss is the latest news. And thus at the
time Lord Roberts is about to make an
attack on the Free State the Beers make
a dash in an unknown force not far
from the vital line of communication at
De Aar and Orange River This may
not be serious attack, nevertheless the
news produces an unpleasant effect
here. General French met reverse at
the hands Of the Beers in December.
On Jan. it was announced that he
could take Colesberg with slight
addition to his own force. These were
sent, but at the same time the Beers
were reinforced. The British lines had
been extended east and west, SO that at
the opening Of the week they consti-
tuted great horseshoe 25 miles in
length. The lines were not continuous,
but all the strong points were held.
General French, when he joined Lord
Roberts, presumably took most of his
cavalry force and General Clements was
left with the infantry to hold the Beers
in check. Commandant Delerry, with
q double turning movement, has COM
PEELED Clements to concentrate at Coles
berg, besides threatening Lord Roberts

patch to The Evening News from Rens-
berg says severe fighting occurred dur
ing the British retreat, the various
outposts on both sides suffering heavy
losses. The dispatch adds that it is
doubtful if Rensberg can be held.
RENsBERa, Feb. 13.-Yesterday's re-
tirement Of the western outposts i'll
cluded the withdrawal from Coles kop
and all the surrounding posts. The
Beers placed 4O-pounder at Bastards
Mex, commanding the surrounding
country, and successfully shellcd tho
British positions. The Beers numbered
some thousands and were five to one
wherever fighting occurred. The British
are chatting under the necessity Of re-
treat from their posts, some of which
they had held since the new year. The
British now have to camp west Of Rens-
berg. They safely brought off the guns
from Coles kOp.

a hero. The burial service beneath the
leafless trees at Arlington was preceded
by service in the Church of the Cove

government was rcprcsented-the presi:
dent, the cabinet, the army, the navy,
the supreme court, the diplomatic corps
and as many citizens of all classes as
were fortunate enough to find standing
room within it's walls. But the crowd
was insignificant when compared with
the crowds that braved the elements of
lowering winter day for glimpse Of
The Flag-Draped Caisson
with it's military escort as it passed
through the streets. Hundreds more
made the toilsomc pilgrimage to Airing
ton to hear the last words pronounced
above the open grave, where the presi-

manding the army stood with uncov-
cred heads until the last volley was
fred and the bugle sounded.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Cul-
lom was at the White House during the
day and had conference with the pres
ident, in regard to the status of legisla-

under consideration the expediency of
asking congress to pass some temporary
legislation which would enable the local
government to provide for natives whose
houses had been burned to stop the
spread of the bubonic plague, and to
succor those in distress. Senator Cul-
lom, however, expressed the belief that
congress would very soon pass bill pro-
viding for permanent government for
the islands, and that this measure would
be ample to meet the existing condi-
tions. The president therefore will
await the action Of congress on the
pending bill,
