The Courier-Journal Of a recent
issue has the following to say about
the Hartford, jacksonville and Clo-
verport railroad
II is officially stated that the con-
tract for the construction of the
Cloverport railroad, which will fur
nish new facilities for one of the
most active industrial sections of the
State, will be let in the near future.
The engineers have been in Mandison-

now the only obstacle to be overcome
before the letting of the contracts.

ing out since l:45 p. m. today, the
Jury in the b. F. French contempt
case brought in verdict OF guilty
at 10 o'clock tonight and fixed his
punishment at 5000 fine with no
Jail sentence attached.
Interest here all the afternoon has
been intense. Crowds have congre-
gated on every street corner and
nothing else has been talked about.
1t was predicted early in the after
noon that the jury had determined
on his guilt, but were hung on the
question of punishment. Such
proved to be mistake.

filed grounds for new trial and
Judge Benton continued the hearing
of this motion until the first day of
the regular term, which is Monday.
The verdict tonight came as sur
prise. While it was expected all the
afternoon, this evening 1t became
apparent that the jury was badly
divided: About s o'clock they sent
word to the court that they wanted
to 20 to bed, as they could not agree
tonight. Judge Benton sent word
that they could go whenever they
wished, whereupon they decided to
stay while longer.
L. This makes the second defendant
in these cases who has been found
guilty Felix Feltner was fined 3d.
900 and two years in Jail. This is
the largest fine ever imposed for
contempt in Kentucky.
The cause Of action arose during
the trial Of Mrs. Arbrelir Marcum's
damage suit against the Hargis bro
theirs. Ed Callahan and B. F. French
tried before the Circuit Court in
December last when judgment for
$1,000 was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff against Judge James Hargis
and Sheriff Ed Callahan. the other
two defendants going acquit. twas
claimed by the prosecution that the
defendants conspired and spirited
away Nose Feltner and Sam Fields,
two important witnesses for the
plaintiff. Upon this Judge Benton
ordered the institution of contempt
proceeding against the defendants,
including Felix Feltner, a cousin of
Nose Feltner. Felix was tried at
the last term of court, also found
guilty and punished as above stat
ed.
When the jury had been discharg-
ed it was learned that while all
. agreed upon the issue of guilt the
division came upon the punishment.
Two of the jurors wanted to place
the fine as high as $4,000, others
insisted upon fine Of not more
than 500. These figures offered
the ground for argument. The jury
finally compromised upon So. 900 fine.
French was not incarcerated, as he
has sufficient property in Clark coun-
~ to make good the find.

HENEY ADDRESSES THE JURY
District Attorney Makes Reply to Mr..
ThurstOn's Defense of Sem
atOr Mitchell.

PORTLAND Ore, July Limited States
District Attorney Heney began his closing
address to the jury in the Mitchell case
upon the reconvening of the court this
afternoon. He had not concluded when
Judge DeHaven adjourned the court until
Monday.
Mr.. Heney In his argument made telling
answers to the questions asked the prosecu,
ton by ex-senator Thurston as to why
the government had not indicted Fred A.
Kribbs for land grabbing or Senator Mitch
ell for subornation of perjury for having
influenced Tanner and his son in the testi-
mony given before the grand jury The
speaker called attention to the facts set
out by the dates of the lists of claims
given in the indictment as showing that
all of the Kribbs land frauds were outside
the statute of limitations, for which reason
Kribbs could not have been reached by
prosecution. He had made no offers Of
indemnity to Kribbs, because he could not
prosecute him, and If the witness had
known that he could not be reached by
the law perhaps the government would
not have been able to secure any of the
checks or evidence which 1t had gained
1t is now considered a certainty that the
case will go to tie jury on Monday, prob
ably during the afternoon of that day.

0'CONNOR'S ADVICE TO IRISH
Tells Them to Divide British Parties
and Hold Balance of
Power.

LONDON, July 1.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee)-At the annual convention of the
United Irish League of Great Britain was
the occasion Of an interesting address by
Mr.. T. p O'Connor NJ. p. the president of
the organization. Mr.. O'Connor said that
the league was not a powerful body finan-
clally, its 100000 members being men and
women who earned their daily bread, but
they were able sometimes to exercise an
almost dominating influence on certain con-
stituencies, and their votes had always been
given for the cause of Irish self-govern-
ment. Discussing the prospects of a gem
eral election, he remarked that he would
like to see a weak conservative government
in office for six years, because he was con-
vinced that at the end of that time they
would see strong executive in power
They had got things from conservative gov
ernments in the past, whether from fear or
interest he would not stop to inquire. but
IL was certainly not from love. The sug-
gested redistribution bill" the object Of
which was to deprive Ireland of a part of
its parliamentary representation, he char
acterized as an iniquitous and infamous
proposal. Any lrishman who gave a vote
for tory at the next election would be
assisting to paralyze the cause of Ireland
and strengthen the arm of Chamberlain, its
most inveterate and powerful enemy IN
the olden days England conquered Ireland
by dividing its people. In these days, by
+ way OF Christian compensation. Irishmen
/ should divide English parties and so let
! Ireland conquer.

PoLYGAMY IS DECREASING
to support Their Former
Large Families.

CAPETowN.. keSsA lh-Asspeclal Cable
gram to The Be4.)-Many interesting rea-
sons why polygamy among the native races
of South Africa is dying out are given IN
the latest reports of the Natives Affairs
commission. The chief who formerly glo-
ried in the possession of 200 or 300 wives is
now content with two score or less.
The reason for the decline of polyga nous
habits is economic Rinderpest has deci-
mated the cattle herds and chiefs have no
stock to sell or exchange for wives.
The native headsman from King Will
Jamestown explained TO the commissioners
that native had to devote so much time
to making living nowadays that he had
no time to spare for looking after wives
His large family, too, ate up all his land
produced and debarred him from making
progress.
Sir Marshall Clarke, resident commits
sioner of Rhodesia, took the exceptional
view that the government should encourage
the polygamy that prevails. 1t is a social
system he said, the result of which is
that every woman has "a protector" and
its abolition would introduce pauperism.
Frequently 1t is a family arrangement; "a
man does not always collect a number OF
young wives, as is popularity supposed. He
inherits, very often, a number of old
women"
The Natal Zulus have not an old maid
among them. Every woman becomes a
wife. But even in Natal polygamy is or
the wane. There have been few polyga-
nous marriages since the rinderpest The
man who would have bought a wife mus
now buy a COW when he has any money tc
spare.
ha of No do
partment of Cape Colony said that in tn,
Transkeian territories there were 95, 90
monogamists and 27019 polygamists.
In that district however. the native pay
tax of 10 shilllngs for one wife, 20 shilling
for two wives. 80 shillings for three ant
so on. He pays the first 10 shillings cheer
fully. When he thinks of the other h.
asks, "Is it worth it?" and his answer i
| an amnhatic "NO."

CROWN PRINCE oBEYS ORDERS
Amusing Coutretemps at Ceremony
Preceding His Marriage and
Emperor Admits Mistake

BERLIN, July 1.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee. AN amusing story is related here
about an event which happened the
evening the crown princess was conducted
into the Royal Schlcss. When the gala car
riage containing the empress and her fu-
ture daughter-in-law entered the courtyard
OF the palace the crown prince was in com
mand of the Guard of Honor TO receive
them. According to a prearranged program
the crown prince was to parade his COM
pany before the princess, but an Unforeseen
thing happened The kaiser, who was wait
ing, forgot for the first time in his life
doubtless, a military formalty. In his joy
Gus excitement he extended his arm to the
princess and disappeared with her in the
interior of the Schloss before the crown
prince had time to set his guard in motion.
"A nice state of affairs" called out the
crown prince to the officers in his vicinity.
His majesty has marched off with my
bride! Where do l corie in?" Several
minutes elapsed and as neither the kaiser
nor the princess returned. the crown prince
was advised laughingly to follow his father
and bride into the Schloss, as he would be

congo EVIL" is UNDER FIRE
King Leopold Blamed for Conditions
which Exist in the African
Free state.

LONDON, July 1.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee)-''The Congo evil'' continues the
subject of discussion uppermost in char
liable and missionary circles. At a recent
meeting of the Congo Reform association
Sir Harry Johnston. president of the Afri-
can society presided. He said that the
Congo Free State was, so to speak, the
ward of civilized Europe. He was of the
opinion that the only practical solution of
the Congo problem was to ask Belgium
Immediately TO take over the work of the
Congo Free State as national Belgian
enterprise.
e. d. Morel said that the trouble arose
from the fact that King Leopold was the
over lord and trustee and that he resided
several thousand miles away. Today the
soldiers are quartered upon the land, with
full freedom to loot, outrage and murder
King Leopold issued secret DEGREES and by
stroke of the pen the native was robbed
of everything that he possessed The de-
mands upon the natives lead to monstrosi
ties. Arab slave raids were child's play
compared with them. Every village was a
penal settlement II the native did not
bring in the required quantity of rubber
every fortnight he was seized, or, If he
could not be got, his wife, his children or
his relations were taken. 1t was estimated
as minimum figure that 10000 human be-
ings of both sexes and all ages were in
carcerated in the course of a single year
in these pestiferous dens, many dying
! therein, many dying afterward. Sir
| Charles Dixie, NJ. p, moved a resolution
! condeming the present system of personal
rule established by the sovereign of the
Congo Free State. Poultney Bigelow sec.
onded the motion, which was carried with
| only eight dissenting votes.
