jackson, KY, May 2S.-Early last ev-
ening a body of about sixty armed men
were noticed in Jackson. They were not
together but kept close to each other. At
midnight the providers began to sneak
across the street from the bank south of
the jail The guards commanded them to
halt. They fired in reply several shots.
The guards returned the fire. The prowl-
ers ran about a hundred yards further
and fired again. The guards then poured
three valleys into them in rapid success
sion. Moving objects were discovered on
the north side of the Jail and the guards
fired again and killed COW. A few mo-
ments before the firing a flash of light
ming revealed a squad of men in the hills
in the rear of the jail. 1t was then eX-
pected that concerted action was to be
made to reach the Jail and the troops
prepared to give any corners a hot recep-
ton, but a terrible storm was raging and
it was absolutely dark, so that no further
demonstration was made.
Colonel Roger Williams left today for
Lexington. The camp of the troops was
almost swept away during the storm last
night. 1t is thought that Colonel Williams
will ask for more troops and more equip
ment.

has again proved himself the strong man
of the cabinet. In a debate which may
prove the most momentous of the present
Parliament, he has, in frank and bold
Speech further developed the policy
which will be universally regarded as an
entire reversal of Great Britain's fiscal
positino, and at the same time he proved
that he has managed to carry the govern
ment with him against their convictions.
The impression left on the minds of crowd
ed chamber was that the country is on the
eve of a dissolution, and that as in 1900
Mr.. Chamberlain carried the country with
him on the South African War policy, he
has now converted his colleagues to the
belief that he will be able to carry it again
on the policy of preferential trade within
the empire. In addition to asking for a
mandate to tax food he asks for power to
engage in tariff war with German on
Canada's account and to fight the Ameri.
can trusts It is safe to say that no such
sudden revolution has been experienced in
ten political situation for very many years,
