E%ARLINoroN. KY, Nov. i6~.-Apparently
the question OF sending the state troops
here to Hopkins county IL no nearer a de-
cision than IL WINS two days ago. when
Adjutant-G General Murray. Judge Hail and
II. II. Holman of jacksonville represented
TO the Governor the critical condition which
exists here, and strongly urged the neces-
sity of military protection. Gen. MUIR
rays communication to the Governor was
by telephone, and Gov. Beckham replied
10 him over the wire that he would com
municate with him by letter. which he
said Gen. Murray would probably receive
the next day.
Thu next day was yesterday and no
word was heard from the Governor, To-
day, however, Gov. Beckharn called up
Gen. Murray over the telephone and d.
rected him to notify the leaders Of the
camps that the imported foreign element
there must get out of the camp and out
Of the district, and tha those outside must
henceforth refrain from intimidation under
the guise of representing the United Mine
Workers Union.
Gen. Murray accordingly communicated
this semi-formal proclamation Of the Cover
nor to the camp telling the leaders hat
unless the Governors orders were obeyed
to the letter. the State troops would surely
come here To enforce them. The camps
received the warning in very much the same
way that they received the order of Judge
Evans. which was read TO them by a United
States marshal yesterday morning.
Up TO the present time there arc no indica-
tions whatever of any movement in the
1900. ...I I...I.-- ,u atI,at nnIAF
the order of he United States court or
in compliance with the commands of the
Governor. One Reed, who IL in charge OF
the large camp that for so long has been
hanging on tine TANKS OF Madisonvflle
and within gun shot of the Reinecke mine
discourSed some what freely to-day upon
the situation.
He stiI maint ains the old ridiculous
proposition that there are no outsiders
in the camps. and hat all the men there
are %virtuous, downtrodden citizens, main
tanned there at the expense OF tho union
because il is the cheapest way for the union
TO support them during the time that they
nre kent from work by the refusal OF the
mine operators TO accede To the Union
demands. There being 40 foreigners
among them, therefore, ami no ntim'da
ton or display Of force, the order of the
Governor do not apply. So far as the
Injunction il I'D by Judge Evans Is con-
cerncl. Mr.. Reed said that no attention
would be- paid to il inasmuch a. the camp
was already beyond gunshot range Of the
mines.
Mir. Dra.hcr, who Il the County Clerk
aud a personal friend of the Governor, ana
who was in Frankfort yesterday when the
Governor wa- considering the question OF
sending the militia here. was "A rabid Bryan
