President storms on Lincoln.

Daniel T. Storms, OF Lafayette. president
of the League, after returning thanks for
the cordiality of the city's welcome and
expressing his personal prediction for the
city, outlined the objects and purposes OF
the League and then took up the character
of Lincoln, speaking. in part, follows:
Lincoln has always been a marvel TO
students, statesmen and diplomats. His
birth was as humble as that OF the lowly
Nazerene. We are told that Christ, at the
age OF twelve, astOnished the elders in the
temple by his wonderful knowledge OF the
Mosaic law; so Lincoln, out OF the rough Of
the West, stepped or the platform or the
cooper Institute In New YORK and thrilled
the great audience, including. as IL did, all
the noted men, all the learned and cultured.
OF his party In the Empire State. lie not
only thrilled them but ne stirred their
deepest depths. Editors, clergymen, states-
men. lawyers. merchants and critics all
came TO see and hear him. Some OF them
exaected turgid eloquence and the ribaldry
or the frontier; they listened 10 a MASTER
piece Of sincere purity. What Lowell called
which he was so familiar. were reflected in
his discourse. lie had thoroughly mastered
n.s subject. and concluded his argument
with the sentence, Let US have faith that
right makes might. and In that faith let
Us 10 the end dare 20 do our duty we
understand it This sentence clinched the
whole argument, and as Joseph H. Choate
says: That night the great hall. and the
next day the whole city. rang with de-
lighted applause and congratulations. and
ne who had come a stranger departed
with the laurels OF great triumph
Perhaps no man in public life was ever
more vilifed than he, and yet. his heart
was so tender, that the secretary OF war
and his generals often complained that the
discipline OF the army was impaired be-
cause no dcserter could be shot n the
mother wife once got the ear OF the
President. He was too great and gentle 20
resist their tears and appeals. No Presi-
dent before or since faced such an awful
condition as he. The very women and chill
dren Of the South hated him, and his en-
tire trip 10 Washington was followed by
When ne reached Washington ne found IL

ration for its defense were the most trying

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Feb 12-The an
niversary of Lincoln's birthday cele-
brated here to-day by a great crowd OF
Indiana Republicans. The meeting
doubtedly was the most successful of its
kind ever held in the State. II strict
ly a Lincoln League affair. although hun
dreds of Republicans who probably are not
affiliated with the league took part in the
exercises, doing honor to the memory OF a
great and good man. IL has been also a
great day for the Republican candidates
of the State. Most of them were here and
had quarters at the different hotels. AT
o'clock this afternoon the lower lobby
of the Terre Haute House presented a scene
not unlike that witnessed in an Indian
apolis hotel the day before a state con-
vention. Everybody was jolly and good
natured and there was handshaking ga
lore.
The American flag has been strongly in
evidence i'm Terre Haute to-day. From the
windows of many public buildings the star
ry banner was swung TO the breeze early
this morning. Many of the visitors be-
gan arriving yesterday and last night, and
by this evening all the hotels were filled.
A large delegation came from Evansville
in the interest of Senator Crumbaker, who
is an active candidate for the Office OF
president of the league. The friends OF r.
Harry Miller, of Fairmount, also are here
in goodly numbers. Sullivan sent.a good
sized delegation, and a large body =
leaguers came from Parke county. South
Bend is well represented by crowd that
is bent on having the next meeting of the
league in that city. There seems 10 be no
opposition TO this request, and the meet
ing probably will be held there. The crowd
already gathered was augmented shortly
after noon to-day by the arrival OF the
Marion Club. one of the most splendid Re-
publican organizations of the State. from
Indianapolis The club came on a special
train, bringing about $50 persons. The
marshals in charge were Captain Hyland
and Sergeant Dawson. of the Indianapolis
police department. The club brought with
it its own band OF about twenty pieces.
The special train was met st the Union
Depot by the Ringgold Band. Of this city,

SIX DEAD AND SIX DYING
RESULT OF FIGHT IN THE NOUN
TAINS OF KENTUCKY.
Lee Turner'S "Quarter House; Saloon
Burned by Posse and Occu-
pants Shot Down.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. PA dispatch
TO the Journal and Tribune from its Mid
dlesboro. Ky, correspondent says six
are dead and as many more are dying as
the result of fight between officers from
Middlesboro and mountaineers. The fight,
which was one of the most desperate
things of it's kind in the history of noun
tain warfare, occurred between and
o'clock this evening at Lee Turner's Quar-
ter House saloon, three and half miles
from Middlesboro. Last month some mules
and other goods of Turner'S were levied on
in payment for debt and few nights
ago, it is alleged, he, with others, went to
Virginia, where the property had been
taken, secured what was formerly his and
returned to the Quarter House. To-day
Deputy Sheriff Watt Thompson summoned
a posse of ten or fifteen men for the pur-
pose of arresting Turner at his Quarter
House saloon. The Louisville q Nashville
Railroad refused to convey the officers to
the saloon and they walked through the
mountains.
Turner had heard that an attempt would

be made to arrest him and he and his men,
fifteen in number gave the officers a warm
reception. The saloon is well suited Tor an
attack like this. 1t is built of huge logs
and is surrounded by a thirty-foot fence
in which loOpholes are cut so that the in
mates can shoot at outsiders. Turner's
surrender was demanded. His reply was a
round of shots. Charley Cecil, of Middles-
boro, was riding a palfrey i'm plain view of
the Turner men. Some one raised a win
dow of the log house and shot Cecil, who
fell dead. Instantly the man at the win
dow fell back, pierced by half dozen bull
let's. Then the firing began in earnest. The
officers scattered, and, hiding behind trees
and roots, poured a CALLING fire into the
mountaineers' fortress. In the fight JohE
Doyle, a former railroad man, was badly
wounded, perhaps fatally, and Simon Bean
another ex-railroader, was shot in the
hand. The town men gathered closer
around Turner's place, undaunted at the
shots which whizZed around them

paniOns determined to burn Turner'S rem

man applied a torch to an exposed side Of
the building. A few minutes later the build
ing was in flames. Several Of the noun
taineers came to the window and were i'm
mediately shot down. The posse surround
eu the barricade. determined to let none
escape. Lee Turner and several of his
friends, however in some manner escaped
and he is now at Mingo Mines eight miles
from MiddlesborO. Several of his men
perished in the flames
This has been the most exciting day
ever known in MiddlesborO, notwithstand-
ing the fact that many fights have been
fought within the town limits and in the
near vicinity. All sorts of rumors are af1oat
tonight, one being that five Turnertes
were killed by the Winchesters of the at
tacking men and five more perished in the
flames. 1t is also believed that the posse
lost more men than one and that some of
the MiddlesborO fighters may now be lying
dead or dying in some Of the hOllows sur
rounding the Quarter house. Some OF the
deputies came in tonight with their Win
chesters over their shoulders. They state
that half of the men are still at the
Quarter house and that they will return
with reinforcements. It is feared the trouble
is not at an end. Turner is not a man who
is easily cowed and IL is believed that ne
will organize a band and aVenge the death
OF his friends and the burning of his sa-
loon. Turner is a brother OF Wild Bill Tur-
ner. who was killed several years ago. The
Quarter house is known far ard wide be-
cause Of the number who have been killed
within its confines. Placing to-days NUM-
Der at six, fifty-nine persons have been
killed there and twice that number
wounded"

Niblack, of Vincennes, are in Washington
TO press their claim against the government

Col. D. NJ Ransden is able to be about

him to resume his duties at the Capitol.
He hopes TO come TO his office tomorrow
or the next day. Washington is afflicted
with severe colds, which, in many cases,
are incipient cases of pneumonia. The
weather is very severe for this locality and
physicians generally advise against taking
any risks, even when the indisposition
seems to be but slight. IL is having a re-
tarding effect public business. Many
senator's and representatives are i'll and
many more are confined TO their rooms

While the report of the army site board
does not recommend the adjustment of the
arsenal at Indianapolis. it is a fact that
the present policy contemplates the aban-
Gonment OF any kind of military post at

discussing this matter, said to-day that he

military station or nothing. He pointed

Mr.. Cortelyou, however, caught up with
her on her way TO the infirmary.
After the service was over a number

sor. This service formed fitting close TO
uneventful day, and gradually the lights
In the crescent of buildings surrounding
the campus went out. BY IL o'clock every
one seemed to have gone TO rest save the
nurses in the sick room, the watchman in
the yard below and couple of newspaper
men outside on the frozen road.
In giving out the evening bulletin Mr..
Cortelyou said that the boys condition was
better in fact the same might be said of
all three boys. As far as young Roosevelt
was concerned. Mr.. Cortelyou said he was
better at this hour Is o'clock) than at the
same hour last night. The left lung had
cleared The respiration, temperature and
pulse were about the same. The doctors
believe that If the boy has sufficient vital
ity to meet the crisis in the right lung he
will recover. The clearing up of the left
lung will be very helpful.
Quite Unexpectedly Mr.. Cortelyou made
sick-room report at IL o'clock, saying the
boy was sleeping quietly and that the situ-
alton was unchanged.
During the afternoon the President was
notified of the arrival at New York of the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern. He has ex-
pressed his pleasure in the safe arrival Of
the vessel.
In speaking of other things besides the
boys condition, Mr.. Cortelyou said to-day
no change HAD been made in the pro-
gramme for Prince Henrys visit; in fact.

Washington The President will not give
up his trip to Charleston, but will go there
after Prince Henry leaves.
In many ways the day was less eventful
than that which preceded il, and all the re-
ports, as has been said, were favorable.
Still, the seriousness of not only young
Roosevelts condition, but that of his two
companions, was tonight fully as great as
ever when the closeness to the impending
crisis in each case is taken into considera-
tion.
