STILL FAR AWAY.
No Settlement of Kentucky Contro-
versy In Sight.

Louisville, Ky, April 4.-The likeli-
hood of a clash between the rival state
administrations before a final decision
of the contest cases by the courts is
believed to be small While every move
of the respective military establish
ments gives rise to flood of warlike
rumors, the men in control of these
movements, in the interest of public
order and of the causes they repre-
sent, will not allow matters to take a
serious turn if they can prevent 1t. A
decision from the court of appeals is
expected within a few days, but thirty
days must elapse after the decision is
rendered before the mandate of the
court is issued. Because of this fact
and the prospective appeals to the Uni
ted States supreme court, if the Repub-
licans are beaten, a final settlement is
still far oft

Of the Speech Made by M. Delcasse
In French Senate.

Paris. April 4.-The speech made by
the minister of foreign affairs, NJ. Del
casse, in the senate yesterday during
the discussion of the foreign office es-
Inmates has made considerable i'm
preston and it is believed parliament
will order it to be posted throughout
France. The following official version
of the minister's references to the
United States is published today:
you know that on July "a last we
concluded with the United States a
commercial convention. The day when
you are called to examine it you will
not find it difficult to establish that the
interests of industry and agriculture
have been completely safeguarded
more completely even than the most
exacting hoped for at its debut, and
you will learn with unanimous salts
faction, I am sure, that what especially
contributed to the happy conclusion of
the negotiations was the souvenir of
friendship that time has only strength
ened and the profound statement that
the two republics can peacefully work
towards their national development
without their essential interests ever
running the risk of a collision"
The remarks of the minister were
greeted with applause.
