quiet at London.

LONDON, KY, February 4.-The ru-
mors that have become current that
armed mountaineers have gathered in
London to intimidate Democratic legis-
/ lators are absolutely without founda-
ton. The town is as peaceful and tran
quill as country village in any other
part of the country, and there are no
armed men within the limits or Turk
ing in the adjacent country, so far as
is known by the London citizens. There
are tonight four Senators and nine
Representatives here, all Republicans.
It is expected that the early morning
train from Frankfort will bring in an
influx of the State lawmakers. The
feeling prevails in London that no
trouble whatever will ensue. Circuit
Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, said
tonight:
"Any man, no matter what his poll
ties, is as safe in London as though he
were in his own house.
A signed statement, refuting the
rumors that London is armed to fight
against the Legislature, was written
tonight by Circuit Judge Brown, and
will be delivered by him as speech
before the Laurel County Circuit Court
at the opening of it's regular term to-
morrow.
London is located in the mountain
Businesses in the southeastern part of
Kentucky, about 125 miles from
Frankfort 1t has population of
1900, and for twenty years has not
countenanced a saloon or the selling
of liquors. 1t is the seat of Laurel
county. A legislative caucus will be
held tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
in the Circuit Court room. In the
morning the large number of legisla-
tors who are expected in on the early
trains will spend their time securing
living accommodations. There are
only three small hotels in the town,
but the citizens have expressed a will
ingness to throw open their homes and
entertain the members of the Legisla-
ture with true Kentucky hospitality.

In small, lily lighted apartment OF

the oldest not three years of age A
victim OF circumstances, she is hardly
able to provide enough for them and

Day by day, living IN privation and

Mr.. Silverman, doing small
boot and shoe shop business in the
Musee building, on Market street, was
arrested, tried and convicted last fall
on the charge Of receiving stolen goods.
He was given year in the county Jail,
where he is now confined, with less
than half his time finished. His wife,
deprived of his support, with no re-
sources of her own, is living with her
two small infants in the second story of
the small brick building at Market and
Tenth street.
She is helped, in small way. by
families of her acquaintance, who have
known what want is, and it is a sad
commentary on public charity that
people with ample means are indis-
posed to assist her.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-To-
morrow is suspension day in the House,
but the regular order is likely to be
superseded by the consular and diplo-
matte appropriation bill, which Chair
man Hit expects to. call up. This bill
probably will raise wide field of dis
cussion regarding our foreign relations,
touching possibly the reciprocity
treaties negotiated under the Ding
ley law, but more especially
the question of mediation in
the South African dispute. Mr..
VIM. Alden Smith, Of Michigan, ex-
poets to offer an amendment for a
minister to the South African republic,
and in this way the friends of the
Beers may be able to bring the ques-
ton to a test. Further discussion Of
the Philippine question also is inevi-
table. Mr. Hit hopes to dispose of the
bill within two days, but it is probable
that he will be disappointed. For the
remainder Of the week the programme
is not arranged. A contested election
case or the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill may be brought forward
after the diplomatic bill is out of the
way.
In the Senate the currency bill will
continue to hold it's place on the CAL
endar as the unfinished business each
day after 2 o'clock during the present
week. No speeches on it are formally
announced. Some of tie friends of the
currency bill including Senator Allison
have indicated a purpose to address the
Senate On this measure, but they prob
ably will defer their remarks until the
following week.
Senator Chandler probably will speak
against the bill this week. The speech
es formally announced for the week are
as follows:
By Mr.. Caffery, on the Philippine
question, Monday; by Mr.. Butler, on
the proposed suffrage amendment to
the North Carolina constitution; by
MIR. Turley, in opposition to seating Mr..
Quay, Wednesday,
Senator Chandler will make an effort
to get up the Quay report during the
week, but it is not expected that he will
succeed in displacing the currency bill.
Senator Pettigrew's resolution ON the
Beers may receive some attention dur
ing the week. 1t is also probable that
during the week Senator Spooner will
make reply to Senator Aliens strict
ures on Secretary Of the Treasury in
connection with the placing Of the pub
Tic funds in the New York banks. He
desires to speak Monday or Tuesday.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED
Between the United States and
Great Britain.

Between the United States and
Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, February 4.-The
United States and Great Britain, it
was definitely learned tonight, have
reached an amicable agreement re-
speeding the operations of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty as affecting the right
or construction and control by the
United States of the proposed Nicara-
qua canal The result marks the ter
mination of the conferences between
the officials of the State Department
and Lord Pauncefote of fully a years
duration, during which a number of
meetings were held and the subject
fully discussed by the representatives
of the governments interested.
Great Britain agrees to a modifica-
ton of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty by
which she practically relinquishes any
claims respecting a dual control of
the Nicaragua canal after it shall have
been constructed. The result, there
fore, is to eliminate that feature of the
treaty bearing on the subject of dual
control and to leave the United States
free to construct apd 9oltthhee thereafter con-
troll this great interoceanic waterway.
Just what shape the agreement be-
tween the governments interester in
is to take is not stated, though it is
assumed that some formal instrument
will be drafted and sent to the Senate
for it's confirmation.

riches in the newer country, they emf
grated to America. The husbands
first venture was in small clothing
house in Pittsburg. All went well un-
til one day the partner in the business
disappeared, taking with him all the
money made during the two years and
leaving creditors, who eonfiscated what
was left. 1t was then that Silverman
came to this city to get fresh
start. He was not very success
full in the little boot and shoe shop,
and in hope of affording better
sustenance for the little family de-
pendent upon him. he committed the
crime for which he is now paying the
penalty.
This is the story.

do anything to indicate a desire to use
force in carrying out their plans, but
measures are to be taken for the pro-
lection of Democratic members of the
Legislature and the State officers whom
the members of that party look upon
as being in authority. Just what form
these measures will take will not, it
is announced. be made public for the
present. An attempt to forcibly divest
Adjutant General Collier of the author
ity he exercises under Governor Tay-
Tor is not in line with the Democratic
plans. These Democratic movements.
it is said, will be entirely defensive.

The fire broke out at 9:55 a. m. in
the five story brick building at Broad
way and Franklin avenue, occupied by
the dry goods firm of Penny & Gentles
and in few minutes enveloped the en-
tire structure. Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by a strong
northwest wind and the destruction of
adjoining property was threatened. A
general alarm was turned in and soon
every engine in the city was at the
scene or on the way there.
On the South of Penny G Gentles, the
flames communicated with the buildings
occupied by Schaper Bros, dry good
and the Famous, dry goods.
The burning area increased minute by
minute, the flames gaining great head
way and leaping across the east side
of Broadway. In short time, a large
empty store building on the corner of
Franklin avenue was destroyed with
those directly south, occupied by the
Peoples House Furnishing Company,
the Marks millinery store, Dills dental
parlors and Deer Bros Five and Ten
Cent Store
From Broadway the flames ate their
way through to a number of three
story structures occupied by numerous
firms in various lines of business.
These were soon on fire from top to

SAN FRANCISCO, February Ar
thur Sewall, of Bath, Me-, late Demo-
cratic candidate for Vice President, is
among the passengers on the Aus
tralia who have been released from
quarantine Mr.. Sewall has returned
from a visit to Honolulu, where he
spent a month with his son, Howard
M. Sewall, special agent of the United
States in Hawaii.
II have always favored the acquisi-
tion of the Philippines after the Paris
treaty." said Mr. Sewall. "The United
States should stand with the admins
tration in all that is being done to
hold the Philippines; they are worth
retaining.
"Mr. Mckinley will be renominated
and reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too, will
be renominated, but fear that he can
not win the goal. The fact is, the
country has been too prosperous to
warrant any hope of a change in the
national administration, and people
are slow to take up reform measures
when times are as good as they are at
present. No, am not candidate for
the Vice Presidency again. / believe
it is poor policy on the part of the
Democracy to select any candidate
from the East, where no electoral
votes may be expected and, moreover,
1 am not ambitious to make the race
again. If the Democrats call upon me
again, however, could not refuse to
do my duty"
