Rev. Mr.. Sheldon is going to run.
According to the agreement between
the owners of The Daily Capital and
Mr.. Sheldon the latter is to determine
all the business as well as editorial
questions of the paper during next

Mayo w. Hazeltlne, in an article in

Mayo w. Hazeltlne, in an article in
thecurrentnumber of the North Amer
lean Review, gives conclusive reasons
why the Hay Pauncefote treaty should
be rejected by the Senate or Bullilied by
the house OF representatives. Here is
one of his pungent sentences:
We may say at the outset that, if the
projected artificial waterway is to he
open in time of war To the battloships
Of a public enemy of the United States.
the American people will rever suffer
the rampant which Nature herself has
erected for the protection of our Pacific
States to be demolished; much less will
they commit an act of suicide Nv de-
molishing that natural ramrart at their
own expense.

SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.
Crnyo Fears Expressed as to the Ultimat
Outcome.

Cravc Fears Expressed as to the Ultimate
Outcome.
Frankfort, KY, March 1.-THE
war scdre here has again apparently
nattencd. though leaders on both sides
still express grave fears as to the ultl-
mate outcome. Secretary of State
Powers and Captain Davis, who were
arrested on train at Lexington dis
suised as soldiers, have been placed
III the county Jail at Louisville.
BELIEF among the Republicans that
attempts will be made to arrest Re-
publican legislators in connection with
the assassination Of Governor Goebel
las resulted in several members leav-
ing town. Democratic officials refuse
either to confirm or deny that such
warrants have been issued, though ad-
hitting that more arrests will take
place within few days. 1t is assert
cd that Governor Taylor is being
urged to move the executive offices to
London, where he will be safe from
possible arrest, but that so far he has
refused to entertain the idea. Both
houses of the legislature met In the
state house in the morning. In an
t;cipatlon of Il possible attempt by the
state troops to prevent the meeting,
quite n crowd gathered around the
state house square Mt the hour of
meeting. but the members of the legis-
htnre were allowed to meet without
molestation.
The squad Of militil under Lieuten-
ant Peake who started for London
Saturday as an escort for Secretary of
State Powers and Captain Davis have
returned to Frankfort. Outside of
this. however, no reinforcements ar
rived, and IT is stated now that no
more are expected.
