Feud Murder TrinI at London, Ky.

London, Ky, Feb. 7.-The trial of James Howard for the killing of George w Baker has been called here. This is an echo of the Baker Howard feud in Clay county, and the legislators here are much interested in the case. Howard, al his first trial, was convicted, but got n new trial, in which the jury disagreed. There will be from 30 to 50 witnesses on each side. Many of the witnesses are strong partisans of one or the other side in the feud and have come to town heavi ly armed. The attorneys declare that trouble is liable to result at any time when a lot of feudists get together arm ed, but the presence of state troops is ex- pected to prevent trouble. Baker, who was the father of Tom Baker. the feud leader, was killed on the evening that Ball Howard was shot from ambush. and his son. Wilson Howard. and Burch Stores, friend, were killed.

TALK OF MEDIATION.
United States May Take Advantage
 of Hague Treaty.

or HaSue Irehty.
 New York. Feb. 7.-The Times Wash ington correspondent says:
 Ut is learned that under the terms of The Hague treaty, which has been rati- fed by the senate. an effort will be made before long to exert such offices as may properly be extended to the belligerents to bring about a termination of the war in South Africa. Before this treaty was adopted it was maintained that the Unit ed States could not without exposing this government to the suspicion of unfriendly motives venture to suggest the use Of good offices to both parties to the war.
 Even now there may be some hesita- ton about declaring, by advances made even with the best intentions, that the Transvaal is or is not a vassal state. but it is beginning to be appreciated here that the sympathy for the Boers is wide spread and increasing and that it may not be wise to defer too long the offer of friendly intervention to save life on both sides
 Tt has been discovered here that, while there is no loss of appreciation of the at titude of Great Britain toward the Unit ed States during the war with Spain and a strong inclination to let the British go on and settle their own difficulties in their own way, there is making for the Boers a strong feeling of sympathy be- cause they have at least nominal re- public.
 ''On the Republican side the feeling is not so strong as it is on the Democratic side, where almost every man is a Boer sympathizer. This situation undoubted- ly arises from a desire on the part of the Republicans to avoid pressing a course that will conflict with Mir. Mckinley s policy. The Democrats may take advan- tage of this knowledge to press the Boer side in order to embarrass the admins tration."

ALL DEPENDS ON TAYLOR
Compromise Tn Kentucky Now
 Awaits His Decision.
A MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE HELD
Nothing Given Out After the Meet ing, but It Is Expected Taylor Will Sign Louisville Agreement-Strenu- ous Objection by Republicans.

ing, but It Is Expected Taylor Will Sign Louisville Agreement-Strenu
 ous Objection by Republicans.
 Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 7.-Whether there is to be peace in Kentucky now rests en- tirely in the hands of Governor William $. Taylor. Everything seems to depend upon his signing or refusing to sign the articles of agreement drawn up at Louis vile. Governor Taylors position is most trying. Republicans here are saying that he has been sold out and that the party has been sold out. Echoes of it are com ing in from all over the state. Republic ans say that the Republican representa- tives in the conference allowed them selves to be bamboozled and that they gave in to the Democrats on every propo- sition that is involved in the controversy.
 The full text of the agreement made has not been made public, nor will it be until the governor makes up his mind what he will do about it. The men in the conference pledged themselves to abso- lute secrecy, but some one violated the pledge and let out a synopsis of the agreement. Presumably the leak was a Democratic one, for the synopsis found its way to the public through Democratic channels. It is admitted that the synop- sis is correct, and it is on this synopsis that the Republicans are doing their talk ing. They say that it would be an act of cowardice for the governor to sign the agreement. They say that while he is governor and may think that he can do as he pleases nevertheless he owes a duty to the people who elected him and practically to give up voluntarily the of flee now, as is proposed would be q gross violation of that duty. Republicans from various parts of the. state have telegraph ed that if he signs the agreement they will never vote Republican ticket again.
 Taylor Will Probably sSsn.
 On the other hand, the agreement hay ing been signed by the Republicans, head ed by Marshall, the lieutenant governor under Taylor, it is felt that if Governor Taylor should refuse to sign it and accept it's conditions he would rob himself and his party of all sympathy, and public opinion everywhere would condemn him. In the event of bloodshed any justice that the cause might have would sink out of sight, and he would be in the eyes of the world nothing more nor less than murderer.
 A long conference was held in the office of Governor Taylor last night, those pres ent being, besides Governor Taylor, Colo nel Mengel, Colonel Williams, General Collier Judge Most and William Swee- ney, the latter two attorneys of Govern or Taylor. The conference was secret, and none of those engaged in it would ] consent to talk. They allowed it to be tacitly understood, however, that the po- sition of Governor Taylor was the same as that stated early in the. morning-that if a fair and honest election law was giv- en to the state he would not allow any personal ambition of his own to remain in the way of a settlement.

BULLER HAS DONE NOTHING TO

England Is Beginning 20 ResIIze That the
Moral Sentiment OF the World Is

the News Ceneers In London.

London Jan. 24.-The extreme
tension caused by what justly may
be designated the most anxious
pause since the war began had not
been relieved up to the time of
writing by anything save the daily
stock exchange rumor which today
happened to have been started by
the bulls who assert that General
Warren has captured Spion Kopf.
The war Office was beseiged at an
early hour this morning and the
clubs and other resorts liable to
receive early news have been
crowded with eager inquirers.
1t is generally recognized that
the Boer position if ever taken can
only be captured at tremendous
cost.
Commenting on Captain Ma
hams attitude the st. James Ca
zette today remarke:
His advice is good and needed
in America. While strict neutral
ity is maintained in the official
world and good will for England
is felt by the better informed. it is
simply misleading the public of
this country to suggest as some
correspondents are doing that an
tagonism is confined to an eligi.
BILE body of Americans. The sym
patty of America as a whole, as a
matter of fact is no more with
England at this moment than was
our popular sympathy with them
at the outbreak of the war with
Spain and the contrast of official
and popular attitude is no less
marked in the United States than
it is in Germany"

The suspense was increased by
the belief that General Butler
would never have published his in
tention to attack the Beers on
Spion Kopf unless satisfied that
the assault would be carried out
before the news could be published
and it was fully anticipated that
the news of his success or failure
would reach London in a few hours
at the most. The cabinet min
listers called at the war Office, after
lunch, to ask for news.

THE POSITION AND WISHES OF
FILIpIN0S CLEARLY STATED.
A Letter to the American People and
Congress- From one of the Leading
Men OF the IsIsnds-Church and
State Must Remain Separate.
New York, Jan. PA dispatch

New York, Jan. PA dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says:
This letter, addressed to the
Herald's correspondent in the Phil
ippines, has been received from
Senor Mabini, the strongest coun-
sellor of Aguinaldo and his con-
gress in Philippine affairs:
Gentlemen: Convinced that you
treat Philippine questions with i'm
partiafity, and with the object that
public opinion of the great and
seivilized nation be not misled /
take the liberty to ask you to make
yourselves an echo of the following
opinions throughout the American
press:
THE Philippine people do not
sustain any systematic hatred
against foreigners. On tie contra
ry, they receive with pleasure and
gratitude those who wish to CO.
operate for their liberty and
prosperity.
Filipinos continue to fight
against Americans, not because Of
hatred, but to demonstrate that far
from looking with Indifference on
the political situation they know
how to sacrifice themselves for a
government which assures individ-
ual liberties and is admired in
conformity with the necessities and
desires of the people.
THE present state of war; does
not permit the people to give frank
expression to a manifestation of
their aspirations. For this reason
Filipinos wish ardently that the
congress of the United States shall
hear them before deciding upon
their futnre.
To this end the Filipinos ask
congress either to nominate civil
commission which MAJ put itself
in contact with Filipinos who have
influence in Pacific villages, as well
as among the people under arms OF
permit us a commission of such
Filipinos to- 60 to America in order
to express the desires of the people.
Il hope confidently that when
the Americans and Filipinos know
each other better, not only will the
present conflict cease, but other
future ones will be forestalled.
THE conscientious opinion oi
the masses in America appears tC
follow on their traditions and these
constitute for the present the only
guarantee for hopes of all honor
able Filipinos.

Spend it at SpeigIe'S

Just a little dollar on it's mission
sent, makes lot Of people glad each
time a coin is spent. You pay it to
the butcher for meat to give you
strength, he takes it to the grocer
from whom it goes at length, some
pretty bit of cloth or lace, his better
half to buy, or helps to get her winter
hat to make her rivals sigh. The dry
goods man sends on the coin to pay
his market bill, and though the coin
is often spent it stays a dollar still:
and every time it's spent at home
some act of good is done, in "toom-
ing" local industries ere the setting
of the SUP.
But if you take that shining coin
and break the local chain, the
chances are that from afar twill not
return again. If once it passes out
of town the butcher and the baker,
the grocer and the dry goods man,
the cook, the undertaker,s the car
penter, the carriage wright, the
blacksmith-everyone-will lose ere
the settieg Of the sun.
Just keep the little coin at home,
just keep it moving well, and every
time it changes hands, somebody's
goods twill sell. That single little
dollar has thus a wonderous power
to make somebody better dozen
times ar hour. Just try a loaf OF
Spiegle's bread, made of PLANsIFTEB
FLOUR, grown in the Beautiful Indian
Territory, and made in ArdmOre.

CHURCH AND STATE.

Chicago, Jan. PA special to
the Record from Washington says:
There is a complete understand
ing between the government and
Archbishop Chapelle concerning
church affairs in the Philippines.
He has gone there as the repre-
sentative of the pope to reorganize
the Catholic church upon the basis
that exists in the United States,
and General Otis is thoroughly in
formed of his mission, and of the
the policy he is directed to pursue.
There is no intention on the part
of the United States government
to appropriate without fair remu-
neration any property belonging to
the church, but the estates and
other property belonging to the re-
ligious orders, or whose title is in
the name of the bishop, will be
taxed like any other property.
The only exception will be such
property as is actually used fol
worship or for educational pur-
poses. There viii be no objection
to the friars remaining in the Phil:
ippines, provided they confine theil
activity strictly to ecclesiastical
matters.
There will be no objection to the
establishment of public schools.
No public money will be given to
the support of any sectarian in
stitutions, either educational OF
benevolent, aud the priests will not
be allowed any other privileges OF
immunities than any envoy of this
country. In short. Archbishop
Chapelle understands and agrees
that therk isto be IN entire separa-
ration ofsthe church from civil az
fairs.
