OF Twenty Seven Prisoners for
the Eddyville Pen.
They Walked From the Jail to the
Train-sang "Old Kentucky
Home"
SEVERAL REMAINED BEHIND

"If that amt highway robbery
don't know what you call it," resent
fully exclaimed Jailer Fayette Jones
this morning early as 81 prisoners
filed out the county jail door in charge
of Sheriff Lee Potter and deputies.
Here they come along and take all
fellows bosrders," he continued as
he looked wistfully in the direction of
the receding concentration of cul-
prits, who disappeared singing my

Eddyville penitentiary.
The prisoners are those convicted in
the circuit court here during the spe-
cial term of court in March and the
regular term this month. Some of
them had been in Jail quite while,
in fact had been there so long that
they were loath to leave = place 80 re-
plete with pleasant associations and
memories.
They left Jailer Jones precious few
prisoners. Az soon rs the sheriff re-
turns from Eddyville, he has SIX wo-
men TO take to Frankfort, and this
will leave Jailer Jones with only
about six boarders.
Henry McKellsr, of Bsndana. Bal
lard conunty, will be taken TO Wick
life tomorrow to be tried for killing
Robert Berry, and Lawrence Willis,
Of Csdiz, Trigg county, will be taken
TO Cadiz for trial in few days On
charge Of killing bis uncle, Lieutenant
Johnson. This will leave things still
moro lonely about the bastile. but
Jailer Jones knows that there will be
plenty OF others to engage board at his
hostelry before the next term OF court.
which will be in s ptember.
Sheriff Potter was accompanied 10
the penitentisry by the following dep
uties: Messrs. William Lydon, @.
". Morrison; j.. ID. Hall, Elihu
Harris, Mack Green and James Grow.
The prisoners chained together were
lined up ut the north end Of the depot
platform aud no one WAS allowed to
go near them. A special car was at

the prisoners to Eddyville, ana the
aggregation presented most unique
sight. Some had guitars and several
tin pans, baskets OF food and clothing.
A little whiskey was given them and
no pint bottle served to quench the
thirst of more than half the black
prisoners. The white men, four In
number, did not drink anything.
TIE usual corps of relatives and
lovers were at the depot to see the
prisoners oil, and there was much
merry making as we'll as few sobs
and tears The long line Of handcuGed
men did not seem to mind the fact
that they wero going to prison and set
up song as the train neared the de-

Never was a party so badly managed,

n Els MONIES. ia, March 31.-The
| Iowa miners and operators failed
to agree today and 1880 miners
are on strike. Every mine in Iowa IS
closed. Both sides have been trying
for the past six weeks 10 agree on an
amicable settlement.
The split resulted from a refusal on
the part Of the operators to raise the
wages of the unskilled and to lower
the price of blasting powder demanded
by the miners. The refusal TO increase
the wages of unskilled workmen, such
as mule drivers and top men, at the
beginning OF the conference extended
only to certain districts where that
class Of labor IS unusually expensive.
but at the close of the conference the
operators demanded that it should be
universal and apply to every district
OF the state.
The miners demand 2 reduction in
the price of blasting powder from s.
to S1.15 per can. They demand a uni
form advance in the scale of wages paid
top men and drivers in districts Nos
and 4. who shall receive the same pay
as in districts Nos and 3.
The operators claim that they arc
standing by the Indianapolis agree
ment and in so doing cannot submit tc
general increases in the wages paid IN
skilled labor throughout, the district

LAST OBSTACLE
is SWEPT AWAY
French Court Has Decided
Against COIOmbia's Claims.
CANAL CAN BE TRANSFERRED
AN APPEAL WILL NOT PREVENT
ACTION.

RARIs, March S1-(1:45 p. m).-The
first civil tribunal of the Seine to-
day decided the case of the repub-
lie Of Colombia against the Panama
Canal company in favor of the defend
ants. The decision holds that the COM
paint of Colombia is not receivable and
condemns the plaintiffs TO pay the costs
Of the action. This decision has the
effect Of removing the legal obstacles
in the way of the transfer Of the canal
concession from the company TO the
United States.
The decision is a lengthy document,
fully reviewing all the circumstances
of the commission and setting the facts
of the treaty, etc, principally articles
20. u and % of the treaty of March
20, 1873. whereby the company acquired
its rights.
Fatal Admission.
These articles" the decision says,
"have the manifest purpose of assuring
the full exercise of sovereignty over the
canal. 1t results from what is estab-
lished before this tribunal that Colon
bia is not i'm possession OF the territory
traversed by the canal BY coming be-
fore the French court in order to OBJ
tain its right over the canal, Colombia
tacitly admits it's inability to itself
control the canal. 1t therefore fol-
lows naturally that it has lost sOver-
eighty over the territory traversed by
the canal. 1t also appears that this
sovereignty is maintained by the new
republic of Panama, which is in actual
possession Of the authority and power
md administration and its policing.
Under such circumstances il only re-
mains for the Panama company to ac-
cept the actual situation of authority
and the facts relative to the territory
embraced by the concession. Therefore.
the action comm need by Colombia is
not receivable"
Colombia's Claims Not Valid.
The decision concludes with the spe-
cifc recital under the French code that
none of the claims set up by Colombia
are valid. that its request to enjoin
pending actions is not warranted. that
its plea for costs against the company
T. not justified, and that the entire
costs of the procedure are assessed
against the plaintiff.
The court announced that the other
case relative to Colombia's right to
hold 5000 shares of stock will be heard
April 13. Although no formal notice
Of appeal was given il was stated at
the close of the court that Colombia
and Bonaparte Wyse (the original con-
Cessionaire) would appeal.
1t is said that an appeal will not
cause delay since today's decision is
held TO confirm the company's fun right
TO transfer 90 the United States.
The other suit relative 10 Colombia s
right 10 hold shares does not affect the
United states. Therefore. IL is the view
at the United states embassy and IN
other official quarters that today's de-
cisiOn clears away the last obstacle in
the way Of the transfer of the canal
10 the United States.
