Lexington, Ky, June 2S.-The annual reunion of the Kentucky Sons of the Revolution, at the residence of Major H. R. Mcclellan In this city, closed with the adoption of the following:
 We of the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the Revolution, descendants of those who staked their lives, their prop erty, their all to win for themselves and for us freedom from tyranny and the right to make laws guaranteeing liberty without license, personal security and the rights of property; reverencing the memory of our ancestors cherishing the institutions tH~y founded and the laws they established, realizing that those in- stitutlons can only be preserved by strict obedience to and faithful execution of those laws by all the citizens and officers of the state, which was the first to be admitted to the Union for the recogni- tion of which they shed their blood, do hereby,
 Resolve, That we do most sincerely deplore the condition of lawlessness that has brought reproach on the state we love, and do most severely condemn those officials to whose criminal connivance or inefficiency is due the disregard for the lives and property of citizens.
 And we do further call upon all of ficers of the commonwealth of Kentucky, be they county, district or state officers. to do whatever may be necessary to stamp out crime and punish the criminals who are responsible therefor, whether they be private citizens or public serv- ants"

kearsaree Officers Will Give Recep ton ThIs Afternoon to All the Mo- tabIes-Amerlcan Sailors Are
 Commended for Behavior.

Kfel, Prussia, June 2S.-The emperor's yacht Meteor crossed the line first In to- days race for cruising schooners, Class A and kept the lead all the way over the thirty-mile course beating the Hamburg in a ten not breeze by 11a minutes. The empress yacht Induna was again twenty minutes behind.
 Emperor William had as hls guests on board the Meteor during the race United States Ambassador Tower Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince Adelbert the emper- or's son, Count Tiel- Wenckler, Count Redern and United States Naval Attachee T. M. Potts. The emperor was quite a different man aboard the yacht than when aboard the battleship talking about yachting and sporting matters the whole time. When lunch time came, his majes- ty helped each member of the party him- self from the large cold dishes provided, and Prince Adelbert photographed the group.
 Though the Hamburg was a close sec ond during the whole of the race, she lost a minute by her club topsail going by the board.
 R. w. Goelets' Swan, In the race for yachts of her class, finished three and half minutes ahead of Gustave Stinnes Glueckauf but had to take second place under the handicap, which gave the lat ter Az minutes time allowance. The Bet ty VI was third.
 In the cutter yawI race the Navahoe easily disposed of her only competitor, the Comet The Therse unexpectedly beat the Commodore, and the big English schooner Cicely turned the tables on Herr Guile aumes Clare. which won on Friday.
 In the handicap match for cruisers. the Irene, giving the Nayahoe minute and half and the Comet 14 minutes time allow ance, won by two minutes from the Ma vahoe. The Comet was nowhere.
 The officers of the Kearsarge will give a reception on Monday afternoon to which the Emperor and Empress. Prince and Princess Henry and all the notables at Kiel have accepted invitation. A recep- tion will be given aboard the Kearsarge, probably next Tuesday for the crews of the German fleet. The German sailors will be able to see the inside of the ship and will be entertained by the crew.
 There has been nothing whatever to complain of regarding the behavior of the American sailors who have been allowed ashore. They are welcomed along the water front and the shops and the res- taurants are engaging In friendly rivalry in doing honor. Signs are seen every where of Americans welcome to Kiel."
 Considerable wonderment is created by the Americans using the limited supply of Kiefs vehicles and going all the time.

SEVENTY INJURED PERSONS FIX TRlcATED FROM FEARFUL RAIL ROAD WRECK NEAR THE CITY OF MADRID.

Madrid, June 2S.-Four more bodies and seventy injured persons have been ex- tricated from the wreck of the Bilbao train which over turned at Nijillero river last night. According to official informa- tion, thirty were killed and sixty were injured. Many of the latter will die. Of the 300 passengers on the train. 1t is stated that only six escaped unhurt.
 The train. which was composed of two engines and sixteen coaches. was crossing the bridge when the couplings between the engines broke. The second engine left the track and fell, followed by the entire train Into the bed of the river. Fortunately, the water was low The nearest medical attendance was mile and a half distant, and those passen- gers who were least injured. aided the others, and did all possible until the ar rival of relief trains bringing nurses, doctors and soldiers from Bilbao
 The train fell fifty feet from the bridge to the river bed, the coaches piling up in a mass of splintered wood and iron work. The scene is described as horrifying. Many corpses were carried down the stream, which was actually reddened with blood. It was found impossible to extricate numbers of injured who were pinioned under the wreckage. A railway guard was arrested in the act of robbing the dead and narrowly escaped lynching.
 It is believed the official figures under estimate the number of the killed, some accounts giving the number of dead as one hundred. The full extent of the cat astrophe will only be known when the wreckage has been cleared away.
