kl Committee Appointed to Dratl
”Resolutions—State Contest Boards
Hear Testimony In Regard to
Recent Election Methods.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 2G.-—The ar-
rival in Frankfort yesterday of from SOC
to 1,000 men armed with rifles might
have terrorized a community less inured
to unusual sensational happenings, bul
by nightfall the. excitement caused by the
' appearance of the warlike visitors had
subsided, and the people were prepared
‘ for another turn in the events now mak-
ing'hist‘ory ‘at the state's capital.
The train that bore the armed men was
made up of 14 coaches. Apparently but
few here knew that it was expected. The
men left the coaches in front of the
Louisville and Nashville station and,
forming into companies, marched to the
statehous'e, where their arms were de-
posited promiscuously, and the men ,scat-
tered about the buildings.
Lunch was served to them at the rear
of the statehouse. Most of the visitors
were badges of white ribbon adorned
with a picture of Governor Taylor.
While it is generally believed that
many of the men who arrived are sol-
diets, no person in authority will stand
sponsor for the statement, while Govern-
or Taylor and Adjutant General Collier
disclaim any connection with them. The
men hail from various sections of the
state.
Shortly after their arrival the ‘visitors
gathered in front of the main state build-
ing, where cx-Secretary of State Findlay
addressed them, afterward introducing
Stephen Sharp of Lexington, former
judge of Fayette county and treasurer of
state by appointment, succeeding the ab:
sconding treasurer of state, J. \V. Tate.
Judge Sharp spoke briefly and put. him-
self at the service of the men. A com—
mittee was appointed to draft resolutions
which indicated the purpose of their mis-
sion.
The state contest boards announced the
result of their consideration of the con-
testecs’ counter notices. Twu paragraphs
were stricken out entirely, demurrers to
25 paragraphs were sustained, and de-
murrcrs to nine paragraphs were over
ruled. Attormgvs for the contestees ask-
ed for and were
the paragraphs.
A doszeu \Volf county election officers
testified concerning the. use of alleged tis-
sue ballots.
Colonel Andrew Cowau. a wealthy
business man and member of the Louis-
ville "Honest Election League,” testified
that the changing of election officers the
night before the election caused 'the
greater part of the apprehension that
there'would be trouble on election day.

Japan Favors Great Britain.
OTTAWA, .Ian. 26.———K. Hirata, re-
cently connected with the Japanese war
department and now traveling to become
acquainted with English speaking coun-
tries. made some significant statements
yesterday regarding the relations of Ja-
pan to current events. Mr. Hirata, in re-
ply to questions, said: “The Japanese
people are strongly in sympathy with
Great Britain, and the soldiers of Japan
want to be sent to South Africa to fight
for the British. Russia, France and Ger-
many are at the back of the Boers and in
a measure waging war .today against
Great Britain through the Boers. What
they are driving at is clear enough to
well informed Asiatics. It is to so weak-
en the military power of the'Bi-itish in
South Africa that the strain shall compel
Great Britain to neglect the defense of
India and her interests in China. British
defeat in South Africa means a Franco-
Russian march through India. France
and Russia are making every preparation
for it." ;

HARRISB TRG. Jan. lid—The state
Democratic committee has set the pace
for the Democracy of other states by
making Colonel W'illiam J.'Bryan it:
choice for the presidency in 1900. This
action was taken by the committee While
Colonel Bryan was onhis'way to Harris-
burg from New York to attend the meet-
ing and confer with the party leaders.
This is probably the first time in the"
party’s history that the Democrats '01
Pennsylvania have indicated their choice
for president in advance of the state con-'
vention. There was a large attendance
of Democrats from over the state to meet
'(“olonel Bryan and hear him discuss the
issues on which the coming campaign
will be waged. The state convention will
be held in this city on April 5 and wil.
adopt a platform along the lines laid
down by the Nebraska orator in his
speech last night before 5,000 people at
the Kelker Street hall. The platform will
indorse the Chicago declaration of princi-
ples, denounce trusts and imperialism
advocate ballot reform and pure elections
and condemn machine politics.
Colonel Bryan reached here at 3 o’clock
and was escorted to the board of trade
rooms, where the state committee was in
session, by a committee representing the
state and local Democratic committees
He was introduced to the assemblage by
State Chairman Billing and made a short
speech, which was received with much
enthusiasm. At the close of the meetlng
he held an informal reception at the
Commonwealth hotel, and later he was
the guest of Mayor Fritchey at a dinner
party at which Colonel Guffey. Chairman
Billing and other party leaders were
present. After the meeting he attended
a session of the local lodge of Modern
“’oodmen, of which he is an active mem-
ber at his home in Lincoln. Colonel Bry-
an will go from here to Smyrna and Wil-
mington, Del., and from there to ‘Vash-
ington to meet the national leaders.

"In the few moments that I have to
spare I thought you wouldlike _to have a
night that never in his history of armies
had one been as well supplied'as this one.

Cars Run Away and Cause Deadly
Explosion of Dynamite.
VVILKESBARRE, Pa., Jan. 26.—A
fearful explosion of dynamite occurred in
the yards of the Jersey'Central railroad
at Ashley, a suburb of this city, last
night, which resulted in' the killing of
Frank McLaughlin of Mauch Chunk,
ley; William Buckley of this city, aged
28, all brakemen, and fatally injuring two
unknown men.
Engineer John Behrig-of Mauch Chunk
was badly injured. Engineer John Rough-
:ley of Ashley. who ran a side engine, was
severely scalded. William Brown of Ash-
ley, night boss at the roundhouse; Brake-
man' Thomas Rowe of Newtown, and
Flagman Michael Coyle of Ashley were
badly injured. '
The accident was caused by the loss 01
the control of a heavy freight train con-
sisting of 24 cars which was coming from
Mauch Chunk to Ashley. The train was
in charge of Engineer John Iiehrig. At
Laurel Run, while descending the steep
grade down 'the mountain, control was
lost and the heavy train went thundering
down in the direction of Ashley at a tre-
mendous rate of speed. It had been rain-
ing during t 0 early evening and the
tracks were wet and slippery. _
At the foot of the mountain, just
where the Ashley yards commence, near
the. roundhouse, the fugitive train dashed
into a helping engine standing in its path,
and it was sent flying along thestrack in-
to a shifting engine. The Shock exploded
a car containing 30 boxes of dynamite,
and 18 cars in the train were wrecked.
Everything that stood near was knocked
to pieces.
Ten locomotives were wrecked. The
stacks of the reundhouse and a large
portion of the roof were blown away.
An immense tank containing thousands
of gallons of water was torn to pieces,
and several people who happened to be in
the vicinity narrowly escaped drowning
by the flood in which they were suddenly
submerged. Nearly every window in the
town was broken. Even in this city
many of the strongest edifices felt the
severity of the shock’ and trembled vio-
lently. The scene of the disaster resem-
bles the track of a cyclone.
The loss cannot be accurately deter-
mined as yet, but is estimated at over
$1,000.000.
