Mr.. Chamberlain was determined to stand
or fall by his scheme, and that IL he failed
to obtain the %country's support for it he
would retire from public life.
the conservative politicians and news
papers in many cases view the proposals
with considerable doubt. The Standard. in
its leading article. confesses that to forego
any considerable part of the British trade
with foreign countries would be too seri-
GUS a drawback to face, for greater access
to the colonial markets and the other con-
sentative organs express grave doubts
whether the colonies win ever be able to
supply all of Great Britain's' foodstuff re-
quirements.
1t is also pointed out that the case of
the United States does not offer a fair
comparison. because the United States en-
joys international free trade, while it IS
impossible ever to hope for free trade be-
tween Great Britain and its colonies.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Chamberlain
has achieved one aim in securing public
forgetfulness of the governments muddling
over the education bill. the army reform
and other local matters, but he has also
opened such hoodgates of discussion that
all parties will be anxious to appeal to
the country at the earliest possible moment
in order to arrive at a definite issue.

MORE TROOPS ARE CALLED
Governor Sends New Force of Militia to
jackson.
NO STATEMENT AS TO THE REASONS
Request IL Made by Major Allen and
it IL Thought Mob il Planning
to Release Jett and White
from Jail.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 29.-orders were
issued at midnight to send more troops to
Jackson.
Colonel Roger Williams, who was called
to Lexington today, received a cypher mes
sage tonight from Major Embry Allen,
who is in command in his absence at Jack
son, stating the necessity for more men.
Colonel Williams Immediately conferred
with Governor Beckham, who approved the
call. Colonel Williams then called CapSain
Lillard Of the Danville company by tele-
phone and ordered him to Immediately as
semble his men and bring them to LeXing-
ton. The mpan will leave here for Jack
son at 7:4O a. m, arriving there at IL
o'clock.
Colonel Williams. later sent an order to
: Louisville for the company there to be held
in readiness for orders to move in case
they are needed. The message from Major
Allen did not state what prompted the
requisition for more men. Colonel Williams
said:
II is true that the men there have been
heavily taxed in the rigid patrol duty re-
quired and more men will relieve this.
However, / will not surmise as to de-
velopment actuated Major Allen.
The Danville compan will increase the
battalion to about LIS men. Many people
in Lexington construe the call for more
troops as confirmation of the rumors that
a force of men who propose TO rescue Cur
tbs Jett and Tom White was being recruited
in the interior of Breathitt county.
Calling Guns Are Mounted.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 29.-Advices
from Jackson, KY, this morning indicate
that all Is quiet. There. was some firing
during the night, but nobody was hurt,
All mountain passes into the little city
were guarded during the night by militia,
Rumor is persistent that the mountain
GERS are gathering and will make an at
tempt to release Jet and White, and the
doubled. The Calling and Hotchkiss guns
are now in places believed to be the most
advantageous to the troops and for the
protection Of the jail.
Nothing is known Of the whereabouts OF
Captain b. ]. McEwan. who left yesterday
afternoon.
LOUISVILLE. May 3.-what is believed
to be the first accurate report regarding an
attempt to release lett and White was
received today.
It is that several Of the ~mountaineers
have been riding night and day spreading
the news OF the capture OF the two men and
urging the rescue OF their comrades. The
military authorities have decided to keeI
an outpost on all roads and mountain
passes, not only at night, but during the
day. This probably will result in a cal
for more troops and the field OF operation,
widened.

RETURNS VIOLIN TO OWNER
Kocian Says that He Had No Inten-
tiOn of Keeping Valuable
Instrument.

NEW YORK, May 3,-In the course of
an interview, Jaroslav Kocian, who has
Just arrived here. with the Stradivarius
violin which he took with him when he
sailed from New York about a month ago,
said:
/ feel very sorry for 1t all, because the
whole AFFAIR put me in a bad igh and 1t
has put Mr.. CIopton to unnecessary trouble,
notwithstanding. he has done me the great
favor to loan me the beautiful violin. l am
not guilty of anything, but 1 HAD friends
who told me l could do what l liked with
the violin.
It was not my intention to run away with
1t, and when / arrived at and
found a cable message about 1t l sent a
message to my uncle, who told me to re-
turn the violin at once.
Kocian said 1t had been planned for him
to go on a concert tour at this time through
Germany and Russia, but that this tour
was abandoned in order that he might re-
turn to this country in person and with
his own hands return the violin to its
owner.

the liberals must light the proposals with

He contended that the margin that Great
Britain might gain by preferential trade
with her colonies was comparatively small
and not worth the risk of dislocating the
three-fourths of her trade with the rest of
the world
Thus far the discussion reveals no ex-
treme enthusiasm on the part OF the union
lists for Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme, al
though the ventilation of the subject Is
eagerly welcomed. The unionist Spectator
points out the coincidence that whilst Mr..
Chamberlain is offering old-age pensions
as the compensation TO the workingman
for the loss he may sustain through the
preferential tariff. the vast pension list Of
the United States was largely created I'm
