FEAR TO TELL TRUTH.
Haddix Says Others Saw Incendiaries
 at Jackson.

Lexington. Ky..June s-The Herald has received the following from MT. Haddix, the man who testified in the arson case to seeing certain named parties leaving Cap tain Ewen's house just before the fire broke out last Sunday morning. It is apparently written in his own handwrit- ing and is a pathetic testimonial to the terrific state of affairs in Jackson:

SEIZURE OF RAILROADS.
American Interested in Action oi
 Honduran Government.

Washington, June 1S.-The State Depart ment is considering the controversy rais- ed by the seizure by the Government of Honduras of the railroad from Puerto Cortez to La Pimienta which was leased to an American syndicate in 1897 for a period of twenty-five years.
 Senator Depew of New York. Col. John Jacob Astor and other prominent people are said to be largely interested in the syndicate
 The controversy grows out of large issue of bonds, issued many years ago to build the road. These bonds event. ually found their way into the hands of British and American citizens, but their claims were not pressed until about a year ago. when the British in Honduras filed a protest against the lease. Action upon the protest was postponed by the Government of Honduras until May N, of the present year, when the Govern ment seized the road.
 The State Department has no informa- ton as to why the road was conflscated. but the reports of the American syndi- cate throw out an intimation that 1t is for the purpose of protecting the inter ests of the Government and that the in terests of the syndicate are not 1eopar- dized thereby.
 Whether the bondholders are seeking to have the department to enforce their claim is not known, but it is presumed that such is their purpose, as they con- tend that the bonds are a lien upon the road

GLOOM NOW ABOUNDS
INNOCENT AND GUILTY ALIKE
 ARE FRIGHTENED.
Reports of MT. Bristow Has Caused Fears of General Cleaning Out of the Post Office De-
 partment.

Washington, June 1s.-(Special.- is much gloom in the erstwhile cheerful precincts of Uncle Sam's gold brick de- pository. the Postoffice Department. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow has shrouded the place with an air of general gloom.
 The confirmation by MT. Bristow of nu- merous charges of wicked business in the Department has put a scare into nearly every office of the big Building. The in nocent as well as the guilty are fright ened because they fear that with So much rascaity in their company they will be swept out in the general cleaning up.
 MT Bristow had so much that was bad to tell about so many Postoff1ce Depart ment people that he had no time nor space to be more than direct and terse, and coming in such shape and holding up to public gaze of all the corruption is all the more impressive.
 It is generally believed that the inves- tigation has barely scratched the sur faces for the conviction is now deep that life in Washington is as bad in one place as it Is in another, that the Postoffice Department has no monopoly in scamps and gold brick propositions.
 Old man Platt of New York, when he was in Washington the other day, gave the country the sage opinion that all this business was a legacy of Democratic administration.
 Nevertheless 1t has plainly developed since that the very old senior Senator from New York spoke that Perry Heath, Secretary to the National Republican Ex- ecutive Committee, and Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster General under McKin- ley are hardly less guilty than men who hcve been arrested and threatened with the penitentiary

Washington, June 1s.-Postmaster Gen eral Payne today received the following letter from Mir Metcalf asking suspen- sion of the order of dismissal until his complete defense may be heard:
 Hon. H. c. Payne, Postmaster Gen.
 eral:
 'I cannot but feel that under ordinary circumstances such summary action as has been taken in my case would not have been had without giving me a chance to be heard by yourself in my '"T .It must bs que t0 rue hsaesa. excited and congested condition of affairs in the Postoffice Department that the Postmas- ter General has consented to this sum- mary dismissal of a man who for the best part of his life has devoted his whole thought and being to the honest discharge of his duties to the Govern ment and the best interest of the postal service, in which no stain or suspicion has ever heretofore attached.
 Justice to myself, my family and my friends require that I should appeal to the Postmaster General to recall this or der of summary dismissal and accord me an opportunity to show that in this mat ter, as in all others. l was consulting only the best interests of the postofiice money order service in whatever l did concerning the Herman bid and not my own self interest and with no thought of myself or my family as is made to ap- pear in the charge against me.
 The common sense of justice and the right of defense, which my score of years of faithful public service entities me to, must impel the Postmaster General to grant me this opportunity of demonstrat- ing to him that his action has been nasty and unjust to a faithful public servant. who has devoted his life to the best inter- ests of his Government.
 "The suspension of your order is re- spectfully asked until such time as you may hear from me-"

HAS REGAINED CONFIDENCE.
Two More Years of the Balfour Gov
 ernment is Expected.

London, June 1S.-From interviews with members of the House of Commons be- longing to various parties. the Associated Press correspondent learns that the con- census of opinion at Westminster fore casts another two years tenure of office for the present Government. though the prophecy is always made with the pro- viso barring accidents"
 Good judges see little possibility of &C., cidents being involved in the issues now agitating the British press.
 Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman today held a conference of leading Liberals on the advisability of raising the whole question of the fiscal policy of Great Britain. but in view of the attitude of even the malcontent unionists who are out and out free traders, 1t Is not consid- cred that the Liberal leader will risk challenging the Government to a vote in which he Is ertain to be defeated.
 In spite of the sharp issue raised in the Irish land bill question on the subjet of a minimum purchase price, the ultimate passage of the bill is not as seriously ieopardized as might be imagined. The Nationalists certainly hope to wiring some further concessions from Chief Irish Sec retary Wyndham by a show of opposi- ton but the leaders of the Irish party are still inclined to exert all their in- fiuence to keep the Government in power.

PEoNAaE IN GEORGIA.
Judge Emory speer Calls Attention
 of Grand Jury.

Macon. Ga, June 1s.-In the United States Court today Judge Emory Speer. in his charge to the Federal grand jury sprang a surprise. He called attention to the fact that 1t had been charged that a system of peonage existed fin certain parts of the Southern District of Geor- gia. He quoted Article-1, paragraph 2. oCnstitution of Georgia, which provides there shall be no Imprisonment for debt and that the Constitution of the United States provides that needless slav- cry, nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shll have been duly convicted shall ex- ist in the United States or any place sub ject to this jurisdiction.
 He called the attention of the jury to a case presented to him where an employe left an employer and engaged with an- other and the first employer and others armed themselves, took the employe while at work, tied him, carried him back to his former employers place, whipped him, forced him to work and he is now being held prcticlly in servitude.
 He chrged the jur yto mike diligent in- auiry nd if 1t found the sttsment true it was It's duty to return an indictment against the guilty parties.

MAY WITHDRAW LAND BILL.
Thinks the Irish Should
 Come to Agreement.


 London, June 19.-Further consideration Of the Irish land bill has been postponed until June 9. There Is some talk of con- vening another Irish convention to con slider the future attitude of the National ist party towards the bill. The Daily Mail understands that the government has threatened to withdraw the measure unless some agreement Is arrived at with the Irish party on the vital points.
 The free trade against protection fight is beginning to become active, both in- side and outside parliament. Both sides are organizing their forces. Several ques- tions and motions have been put on the paper In the House of Commons with q view to extracting information from the ministers and a large sectbon of Liberals deprecates Sir Henry Campbell Banner mans reluctance to move a vote of cen sure, which they regard as the only means of securing full and unrestricted expression on the subject in the House. The Liberal papers shis morning point to the enormous success of the Socialist party at the German elections as the di- rect result of the workingmen's dissatis- faction with protection and dear food.
