WARNING TOO LATE.
Marcum Found. Dead---More
 Lives In Jeopardy.
KENTUCKY FAMILIES FLEE THE STATE
Jackson Compared to a Man Who TS Sitting on 6 Barrel 09 Powder In Shower
 of SnRrEa.

LEXINGTON, Ky, May "A mes. senger who left the interior of Breath itt county at dawn Monday to bear warning to Attorney J. B. Marcum that a plot to kill him had been formed the night before reached Jackson a few minutes after an assassin's bullet had crashed through Marcum's brain and heart as he stood in the courthouse door. During Sunday night Edward Strong, a friend of Marcum, was in- formed that a conspiracy had been en- tered into at meeting of several des- perate men at blind tiger three miles from Jackson to assassinate Marcum Monday. At daylight he sent a mes senger to convey the information to the attorney, who lay dead when he ar rived This statement has been made by Mrs. Marcum in an interview. If the meeting at the blind tiger Sunday night told of by the widow can be proved the assassin and the plotters may yet be known.
 A newspaper man who arrived from Jackson describes the situation there by saying: ''The town may be compared only to man sitting on barrel of powder in a shower of sparks. When the explosion will come no one knows, but I believe it is inevitable. At least three men know who assassinated James Marcum, and, though they are silent, it is believed their doom is sealed Such knowledge in Breathitt county means death or exile. There are also others left who know who assassi- mated Jim Cockrell. They will not be overlooked. If these people remain or there is the possibility of a rigid inyes- tigation by the law I believe that they will be put out of the way at an early date. Several families are preparing to follow the example of more than fifty people who during the last SIX months have fled the country Male members will leave immediately, and when they have found a home the women and children will follow
 A dispatch from Jackson, Ky, says that the people not involved in the feud l contemplate calling on Governor Beck ham to bring peace to Breathitt county
 It is expected that the contingent with which Marcum was allied, which in cludes the influential family of Post | master Hurst, Marcum's father-in-law, are uniting against the Cockrell family with a view of precipitating a fight l Conservative citizens who are acquaint- ed with either family do not express l surprise at the report.

CANAL TREATY OPPOSED.
bolOmbfan Congress HostfIe-Presi-
 dent May Give Us Title.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-The latest ,dvices received here indicate that President Marroquin of Colombia has almost decided not to call a special session of the Colombian congress to act upon the Panama canal treaty. When the call was issued for an cleo ton of the members of the Colombian congress it was the intention to call a special session about the 11th inst, the call naming the Panama treaty as the first subject to be considered, financial measures to follow. But the opposition developed to the treaty has been more pronounced than the president SUD- posed, and he has thus far refrained from naming the day of meeting, hop ing that as the election progressed (for they are not simultaneous) the govern ment would be reasonably sure of a majority to carry out it's programme.
 But the opposition continues to gain, and the prospects for a government majority are so doubtful that President Marroquin now seems indisposed to act. This outlook, however, does not discourage the officials who had to do with the making of the treaty.
 The Colombian constitution contains some peculiar paragraphs enlarging the powers of the executive in case of disturbed conditions beyond any de- gree known in the United States, and if there is the slightest sign of forcible opposition to the government or of rev olutionary uprisings such as have been hinted at in the stories from Kingston, Jamaica, and from isthmian points, in dicative of purpose to sever the isth- mus from Colombian sovereignty, the president may arrogate to himself die tatorial power and himself go to the length of ratifying the canal treaty with the United States.
