GEN. JOHNSON
HAS RESIGNED
Gov. Wilson Speaks Most High.
Iy Of Him and May Not Ac-
cept Resignation.
GOVERNOR HAS DONE NOTHING
TO OFFEND THE GENERAL.

Frankfort, KY, May 25.-Re-
sentlng what he thought was an
inslnustion against him, Adjt.
Gen. z. 2. Johnston has resign
ed his position and written a
scorching letter to Gov. Wilson,
giving his reason for taking the
step. Following this Gen. John
ston left for Florida to spend
several weeks on his plantation
there. 1t is. probable that Gov.
Wilson will decline to accept
his resignation and will endeavor
to induce Gen. Johnston to with
draw his resignation, as Gov.
Wilson holds Gen. Johnston in
the highest esteem and has the
greatest confidence in his judg-
ment and ability.
The resignation of Gen John.
ston followed a split with Gov.
Wilson, that is a split of which
Gov. Wilson knew nothing.
Gen. Johnston is very sensitive
man, self contained and unosten-
tatious. He and Gov. Wilson
have not only heen close in an
official way. but have been lnti-
mate personal friends. Gen.
Johnston has frequently taken
meals at the mansion and was
thoroughly at home there. If
Gen. Johnston thought that any
reflection had been cast upon
him he would either fight the
man who cast the reflection or
would say nothing about it. If
the reflection was cast by his
superior, Gen. Johnston would
do nothing but promptly hand
in his resignation.
Asked About Expenditures.
1t is reported here that Gen.
Johnston thought Gov. Wilson
had reflected on him by the
method be adopted in making an
investigation into the monetary
affairs of the State. Gov. Will
son has asked the State Auditor
for many items of expenditure in
an effort to discover some way
to cut down expenses and 1t is
said that the Governor wanted
to know how the money of the
military department had been
spent. 1t is saidthat Gen. John
ston thought that this was a re-
Election on him and that the
Governor meant to insinuate
that the affairs of the military
department have not been prop
erly managed. 1t is said that the
Governor wanted toknow wheth-
er or not the expenditure for the
military branch had been ex-
ceeded.
Gov. Wilson was surprised
this morning when he was asked
if Gen. Johnston had resigned,
and he said he would not believe
the resignation had been tend
cred until be saw the letter. The
Governor, however, received
Gen. Johnston's resignation this
afternoon. Regarding Gen.
Johnston, Gov. Wilson said:
81 have the highest personal
regard for Gen. Johnston and
consider him an able man in
every way. / have never done
anything to offend him and l
know of nothing that could have
caused him to resiep. Gen.
Johnston and l have been init
mate friends outside of official
life, and l know of nothing that
has been done to hurt his feel
ings, even though he is a sensi-
tive man.

HOPE TO find
MORE LIVING
Rescners in Cherry, I'LL, Mine
Working Desperately.
MANY UNACCOUNTED FOR

Fully Two Hundred Men Are Still En-.
tombed and the Fact That No Addi-
tlonal Bodies Have Been Discovered
Encourages the Searchers - Al.
though Imprisoned for. Nine Days
Some Are Believed to Be Alive.
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 23-Two exploring
parties in the St. Paul mine found in
d1cations which lead them to believe
that there are large number of liv-
ing men still in the last workings.
The searchers were able to pass far
into the galleries and their hope
springs from the fact that where they
expected to find large number of
dead none were found. Nearly 200
men, are still unaccounted for, dead
or alive. Their bodies have not been
found, nor, of course, have they been
seen alive. Many of them may be
furnishing awaiting rescue.
This is the ninth day Of the i'm
prisonment of the miners. It is i'm
possible to tell with any degree of
certainty whether any of them are Hv-
ing. Many of the rescuers reported
that they were sure that they had
heard signals from behind the earth
barricade during the night, while 9TH
ers insisted they heard feeble voices.
Just how much of these reports can
be attributed to the strain under which
the rescuers have been working it is
impossible to say.
"The voice I heard sounded as
though the man was far away and
was trying to shout" said one of the
rescuers. 81 am sure the men behind
the fill are alive, but if we don't get
them out soon I don't see how they
can live"
Some Had Full Dinner Pals.
It is pointed out that the twenty-one
men taken out of the mine alive Sat
urday we're peculiarly fortunate in
having kept their full dinner buckets
in the excitement following the out,
break Of the fire week ago. On the
contents of these they were able to
subsist pretty we'll and their condition
when they were brought up was not
nearly so bad as had been expected.
It is doubtful whether the seventy or
more men for whom hopes are still
held out can have been so fortunate.
Tidings of discovery were relayed
rapidly to those waiting in the chilling
rain and snow about the shaft top
and the hope which had receded to
the lowest ebb was revived.
A woman, wife of one of the men
brought out alive Saturday evening
and whose brother still is one of the
missing, placed her arms about one of
the pathetic, shawl-draped women
whose watch about the pit mouth has
begun each day before the rising of
the sun and ended long after midnight.
"Cheer up, DEAR" she whispered
Didn't tell you John would come up.
There arc Scotchmen down there.
They'll take care of them. When the
men get to the ends they'll find them
walled in and ready for another week
