Mr.. Pierre (Rep., Md announced his

Mr.. Fitzgerald said he knew the law
was not lived up to here in Washington

had been grossly violated during the
last campaign in Ohio, he said, when
federal Office holders all over the coun-

compaign.
"Does the gentleman say that was not
done under the Cleveland administra-
tion?', asked some one on the Republi-
can side.
"Never," replied Mr.. Fitzgerald.

Kentucky Republicans Appeal From the
Decision of Judge Taft.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 17.--Attorney H. B.
Mackoy, with Ex-Governor Bradley and
other attorneys interested in the Ken
lucky contest election cases, appeared
before United States Circuit Judge
William H. Taft in chambers and filed
notice of an appeal from the decision
rendered by the latter on Wednesday
afternoon. The appeal will be taken
direct, to the United States supreme
court. j, It will be remembered that in
the two cases brought to the notice Of
Judge Taft the question Of federal juris-
diction was raised and he decided that
the question involved should be referred
to the state i courts of Kentucky or
should have been taken direct to the
federal supreme court. The petition for
appeal merely. states that Judge Taft
erred in declaring that jurisdiction did
not, lie in the federal court and it was
solely upon this ground that the appeals
were taken! @4% z@g IL

French Defeat the Natives in latte il;
Central Africa.

Central Africa.
PARIS, Feb. I'm. Delcasse,, minis
ter of the colonies, has received a tee
gram from the French agent, NJ. de la
Meth, announcing the defeat in battle
of Rabah, the principal rebel in Central
Soudan, by French expedition. Rabah
has long been an opponent. of French
influence in the Soudan. o..
1t appears that Rabah was strongly
entrenched at Khouna, between the
French Soudan and Lake Tchad, which
is the objective of all French expedi-
tons, whether across the Sahara from
Algeria or from the French colonies in
West Africa and the Congo. Khouna
was defended by $4,000 men with 2,500
rifles and cannon.
After Desperate Fight,
according to the dispatch, the French
demolished the fortress. Two of Ra-
bah's cannon were destroyed by the
French shells. Rabah, who was wounded
during the fight, fed six hours before its
conclusion. The commander of the
French expedition, however, admits that
practically half of his own force was
placed hors de combat. Forty three
Senegalese sharpshooters were killed
and 4 Europeans, including Captain
Feubile, and 140 Senegalese were
wounded. The commander of the ex
pedition sent to Bangua to inform the
government Of the defeat of Rabah. HI
says the result is important as Rabah il

mated at 1000 to 5000 killed, Rabal
