REVIEW OP THE KILLINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. NO REMEDIES SUGGESTED, Except la the Way of Legislation Enlarging Powers of Governor and Judges. EVERYTHING PEACEABLE NOW. Frankfort. July 27.

Special. The official report of State Inspector Lester, who went to Clay county last week by direction of the Governor to report on the feud situation and the necessity for troop there, was handed to the Chief Executive this afternoon by that official. The report is, aa forecast In specials from London to the Courier-Journal a few daya ago, that bo troops are needed In Clay except during sessions of court; that no special session of the Clay court Is necessary, and that there la no need for an extra legislative session at this time to amend the present Laws of the State. The report shows the exact condition of affairs in Clay county, the killings that have grown out of the feud and the condition of the court In cloeing. Jndge Lester takes a parting shot at the State troops by pointing out the cowardly assassination of Tom Baker Just to show how Uttle they can do in the general keeping of peace.

Ho also suggests that to meet emergencies which may hereafter arise the Legislature at Its coming session should enact laws enlarging the power of Circuit Judges In the matter of sending to other counties for Juries and ia changing the venue In certain eases, and to give the Governor the sol power of appointing special Judges in felony cases. What Judg Lester Says. The report In full Is as follows: Office of Inspector and Examiner. Frankfort. July 17.

To Hon. William O. Bradley. Governor of Kentucky In obedience to your order, made July 20, directing me to proceed to Clay county, and as far aa possible ascertain the real condition of affairs In that county in respect to lawlessness reported to exist therein. I went to Manchester.

The first of these was committed April 1S98, when Wilson Howard and Burch Ssore were killed about ten miles below Manchester, and old man Bat Howard se rtously wounded. Thomas Baker, James Baker, Jesae Barret. Charles Wooten.

Wiley Baker and IX Baker were accused of committing these homicides, and were indicted at the October terra of the Clay Circuit Court for murder in the killing of Wilson Howard alone. At the June term, Thomas Baker. James Baker and Wiley Baker were indicted for the murder or Burcn stores, and at once obtained a change of venue in all of these cases to the Knox Circuit Court, where they all are now pending. On the day after Howard and Stores were killed, old man Oeorge Baker, father of Thomas Baker, was killed by James HSward. who was indicted for this at the Jan term.

L. White. June 2. im. by Thomas Baker and D.

Baker. This was done some ten or twelve mile from Manchester. It could not have had any connection with the killing of Howard and Store, or George Baker, as neither Whit hlmaelf nor any member of his family was ever charged with participation In the former killings. It is alleged that the trouble or feeling between Sheriff White and the Bakers grew out of White's active efforts to convict the Bakers of house-burning, for which tbey were then Indicted in the Clay Circuit Court. At tne June term.

lxs. or the Clay Circuit Court Thomas Baker and P. Baker were Indicted for the murder of White. This case was also removed to the Knox Circuit Court, where it Is stui penu lnr. The next killing, June W.

IS), was that of John Baker (a relative of tn other Bakers named) and a colored man by the nam of Clark near Manchester. No on has ever- been Indicted for this, but sctive efforts have been made (so I waa told by Circuit Judee Evereole by the grand Juror of Clay county to ascertain the guilty parties, but without result. Many persons who were said to know all about this killing and who tn many Instances mad statements tending to show who the uiittr were, were brought before the rrand Jurors, but when sworn disa vowed any anowieage oi it.

I do not believe a special term of the Clay Circuit Court will accomplish any good. The cases against Bakers and How ards have all been removed to other coun tics. Nothing could be done except, to Im panel a grand Jury and have the killing cf Thomas Baker investigated.

This can aa.wcll. If not better, don by th rand Jury which will be Impaneled at th "egular term in October. I talked freely -ritit members of the Baker family, who are very anxious to deteet'snd punish the slayer of Thomaa Baker, with their attorneys and a number of lawyers who practice in the Clay Circuit Court, and all unite in saying a special term is wnouy unnecesssry. In regard to sending State Guard soldiers to Clsy county to keep the peace the same is expressed, no man or Soman living in Clay county', or adjoln-g counties, who knows the character of mountain people, will say that soldiers can accomplish anything, in the keeping of peace or suppressing lawlessness in ciay county except during a tem of court. Thomaa Baker waa killed on Saturday of the first week of the last term of court In the presence of a battalion of soldiers In brosd daylight.

The person who killed him. If he wss shot from, the Sheriff's house, waa not more than two hundred feet from him when he fired the fatal shot, and yet he escaped. I do not mean to censure the soldiers or their officers, but refer to this to show how little tbey can do In the general keeping of the peace. If the whole Stat Guard had been stationed at Manchester at th time the homicides I have mentioned were committed they would have been committed Just the The newspaper storie about tne women and children fleeing from th town of Manchester to the hills and mountains for rafety are pure Actions. -No surh state of affairs has ever existed; nor has the town of Manchester ever st sny time oeen overrun by any armed band of Bakers, Howards, Whites or rnilDots.oent on mis chief or on the hunt for each other.

Bust- ness Is going on in that little town J'ist as it did before any of these; killings. Th merchants say they like to have soldiers there because it imDrovea trade, but all aay they are unnecessary for the preserva tion oi gooa oraer. Sees Nothing To Do. I know of noththg you csn do more than you have don, to prevent a recurrence, of this lawlessness. For the present all Is quiet, and will remain so until a new set grows up or enter the field.

No on can anticipate what the future will bring forth. The same or worse state of affairs exist ed fifteen year ago la th counties of Harlan, Bell and Knox, and no soldiers, special terms of court or other extraor dinary measures were resetted to in order to stop It, and yet there are no more quiet. law-aoiaing people in iientucay man in these counties. The law and the courts by which it is enforced may at times be slow, but In the end it triumphs. The good people in Harlan, Bell and Knox, by.

and through thj courts, stamped out lawlessness In their counties, and there are enough good people in Clay county to do the same. To meet emergencies which may hereafter arise, th Legislature at its coming seMlon ought to enact laws enlarging the right and power of the Circuit Judge in th matter of sending to other counties for grand and petit Juries, and In changing th venue in certain cases. The Gov. ernor ought also to be vested with the sole power of appointing special Judges In felony cases. There is.

however, no such crisis In Clay county aa to demand the calling of th Legislature together at this time to enact such laws. The mischief hss already been done. Nothing remains now but for tn courts ana ameers, or tne law. to go to work and try an tnose charged with these crime, and met out tn them the punishment they deserve. ReepectfuU ly reported.

WHY HE LEFT Justice Chambers Explains Ills Samoan Departure NO GUARANTEE OF SUPPORT. MATAAFA IS AMBITIOUS AND WILL NOT EASILY BE SATISFIED. GENERAL FEELING OF UNREST. San Franclsooi July 28. The steamship Moana has arrived from Honolulu and Samoa.

At Samoa conditions are in a very disturbed state end great dissatisfaction Is manifested on all sides. There, have been several fights among 'the natives snd more are Chief Justice Chambers was a passenger on the Moana, He left Samoa because the High Commission would not guarantee that the decrees of the court Would be enforced. Chief Justice Chambers is accompanied by bla family. He Is on a four months' leave of absence, but says that his business In the United States Is of such a nature that he will probably not return to Apia. In an Interview the Chief Justice said: i "All Is now quiet In Samoa, but I cannot answer for the future.

Both Ma-taafa and Malletoa affect to be satisfied with- the present, arrangement which abolishes the office of king and vests the responsibility of government In the Consuls of the three powers. I feel sure Malletoa la sincere In this. Though fairly elected, and after election accepting the kingship, he never had ambitions in that direction. As soon as the commission arrived he proposed to resign, a spirit which later proved to be in accordance with the plans of the commissioners, and I have every reason to believe that he will live up to his bargain. "Mataafa la ambitious.

For many yeara he haa thirsted for power, and will not be so easily satisfied. At the same time he Is a man of exceptional ability, is and I have never thought the Interests of th natlvea would especially suffer In hi hands. "Yes, my decision has been sustained by the commission and It haa published the fact In a proclamation. "With respect to the future I can say little. There is the problem.

In Its work the commission has endeavored to eliminate from the. original arrangement all of the features that have appeared faulty of weak. "These sections have simply been struck out, leaving nothing in their places. What will rob the whole document of proper effectiveness Is the tri-: partite treaty under which, it will have to operat I am sure that no Govern-' meat In Samoa will succeed under such an The sooner th Pow-1 era-see this and formulate aom correc- tioa, the better- for ail oonoerned." Jndge Chambers said he had finished op all of the cases to come before the court this commission Is empowered to appoint a Chief Justice ad interim to act In case anything arise before a permanent appointment i made. Up to tb time Chamber left th commission had not decided whom the new man would be.

WHY CHAMBERS LEFT. Commissioners Refused To Support His Authority With San Francisco, July St. Samoan advices, under date of July 14, were received to-day by the steamer Moana as follows: The situation In Samoa Is one of great uneasiness-, the attitude of the natlvea being far from reassuring. Several fights haveV occurred in different portions of the islands between supporters of the rivals for the kingship, and several native have been killed. Nothing much Seems to have been accomplished by the High Commission since arms to the number of 400' were surrendered by the contending faction.

Chief Justice- Chambers, being dlssatls- 1 fled with the support extended to his court by the- commissioners, will leave to-day for Washington. 'Their -action In refusing the aid asked for to su3tain the court's authority Is said to have been prompted by dlspatchea received by the German Commissioner from his home Government, which. It is claimed, is greatly displeased with his recognition of the decision of the Supreme Court in the kingship case. The commissioners have been well received' on all th island they have visited. At Tutulla the native were prepared to accept the proposed abolition of the royal office, and th substitution of an executive-appointed by the three Power.

At Bapoteullua, the headquarters of Lanati. that chieftain waa defiant- in manner, indicating future trouble. At Safune, the only' place where the natives took a prominent part In the proceedings, there was a light with axes, knives and stones In the pre son? of the commissioners, one man being severely wounded. The trouble waa caused by th meeting of parties of Mataafa and Malletoa men, who were bearing food offerings to the commissioners. The outcome of all these conferences ia a mass-meeting being held to-day at Mulimln Point, where the leading men of- both sides are discussing th future government of the islands.

At Safata on July 4 some Mataafa men attacked the home of an opposing chief named Taamul. who with two others were badly wounded. The British, warship Torch went to the scene, but quiet bad been restored. Last week the Chief Justice Issued orders to certain towns In Sanaa! to appear before, the Supreme Court in certain civil cases where the Judgment of the court had not been complied with. Chief Lanati ordered them not to obey, telling-- the towns to pay no attention to the- orders of the court, which waa only words on paper.

July 28. The annual report of the Mississippi River Commission has been made by Gen. Wilson, Chief of Engineers. It snows tbat there has been expended on the river for the year ending June 30, 1899. 31.075.000 and allotments for 1900 amounting to 000 nave been made.

During the year the United State haS buUt 7.684,758 cublo yards of levee and State and local authorities 3,316.541 yards. It Is not expected that the work of State and local authorities win be continued any' great, extent, hereafter. The commission believes fully In the levee system. It has recognised In the pest the obligation 'of giving an equal degree of security 'agntost 'overflow to each of the basins and districts and tb allotment of Government funds has been based on this Intention with such modifications as economic and financial conditions make advisable. Large districts thickly populated and cultivated ahould.

say the commission, be kept In a greater degree of security than small ana un improved sections. Owing to strict quarantine regulations it has been almost impossible to prose- cut work below Cairo. Beside work on levee there haa been dredging, building of revetments and special Improvements at various points. As a result of careful surveys and measurements the commission says: "These investigations give no evidence of a general progressive elevation of the bed of the stream, but do Justify the belief that with the banks properly revetted to prevent erosion the ultimate effect of confining the floods by means of levees will -be a depression of the river bed and consequent enlargement of channel capacity."

REMOVAL II 5 is ft I jf tr. VwJ- Of Collector Sapp Probably Will Be Asked. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION I' WILL PLACE CASE IN MB- GAGE'S HANDS BY WEDNESDAY. SAPP'S FRIENDS SERENE. Washington, July 28.

CSpeciaLJ The Civil Sen-ice Commission has made tha case of Collector Sapp. of Louisville, th order of business and will continue con. slderatlon of It until recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury ar agreed upon. Commissioner Harlow returned this morning, tlrua completing board. Unless important business Interrupts it Is fully expected tbat the President of the board.

Mr. Procter, will personally place the case into Secretary Gage's hands by Wednesday. It Is almost a foregone conclusion tbat the commis sion will ask for Collector's Sapp's re moval. Nothing can yet be learned here as to the exact nature of the testimony obtained. The agents who made the investigation by order of the Commission continue to refuse to discuss, the cat or express views as to what will be tha outcome.

The members of the commission also take a similar course, saying that until the report Is received by Secretary Gsge It would be Improper to give It Out for publication. Collector Sapp's friends do not seem to be worrying themselves over the situation. They probably think that Sec retary Gage'a record on these, matters entitles them to a feeling of security, and that at thla late day of the Admin istration he will surely, whitewash the. ae. When Senator Deboe waa tn Washington last week he said that Mr.

Sapp would not be removed. Whether he waa speaking with Mr. Gage a authority or expressing a mere opinion is not known. The Secretary last week removed ths Collector of Customs at Nogalea, Aria for violating the civil service laws. which at least shows that even In tha Treasury Department it is sometimes possible for such things to occur.
