charges now being made to carry into
effect the ^organization provided by
the Dockery commas*!on. So far the

men employes and many high-priced fe
male clerk* have been discharged. The

clerks were discharged today.

BRECKINRIDGE UI ES HARD.
The District Committee Will Not Go
Dulilmt the Returns.
Lexington, Sept. 17.—Everything la
quiet tonight, the nomination of Utvc-ps
being conceded. It has, however, been
a more exciting day than uuy of tbs
preceding week. When the oiviua
meu claimed the Pom,nation by a de
cisive majority Saturday mgut tuo
Breckinridge men stood ii.it. iesu-nlay
they worked Harder tbuu ever. Today
it became known that their representa
tives had beeu dispatched into the till-
fereut part* of the district to get nil
evidence, with a view of contesting tuo
uomuiatun before the Democratic e-ou-
givsKurnal district committee, w'iicU
meets at Frankfort next 8a tun lay, tied
wulck Is thu returning board that
makes the othclal count and declaration
as to who Is the nominee. Thi* com
mittee I* composed of one member
from each county. Fayette county, the
home of Urcckmr.dge, has two legisla
tive districts nud licuce two members
of tills committee, each of the other
seven counties having one. The mem
ber of the state Democratic committee
for the Seventh district is the t-.-uta
member of the committee, which was
known to staud six for Breckluridgo
sot! four uuti Brcckiundgc.
As this committee has done cvery-
th.ng in its power for Breckturldge in
Hxlng * late date for the primaries,
udoptiug the challenge rule and every
thing else be wnuteil, the Owens Meu
were alarmed today on ilud.ug cut that
Bruvklnrtdgc's agents were nt work
with a view to presenting evidence for
a contest before this committee next
Rutunlay. They learned of letters sent
to the committee of the agencies In
d.fTerent counties working up tile case
and believed there was a well phmued
l-urpuse to throw out the vote of cer
tain precincts on thu ground of irreg
ularities and declare BrecLIarklge tho
nominee. It was promptly announced
that four members of the district com-
miltee would make a majority report
Saturday and appeal to the Democrats.
This meant that Owens nud Breckin
ridge would both be candidates and
light to a finish in November. Mean
time the Republicans, who hold their
convention hero September 20, began
to regard thc.r unnamed nominee is
the favorite and there was much ex
citement. The tldu was turned In mo
afternoon when B. J. Welsh, the com
mitteeman from Breckinridge's homo
nud one of bis strongest supporters,
announced that he would never rote
to go bell I ad the returns when the com
mittee met at Frankfort. As this would
leave the committee a tie, or three to
tiro la any event, and ns other Breck
inridge men on the district comudttco
who had stood by him to the last were
r.ot disposed to go btddnd the returns,
.the old guard of the silver-tongued ora
tor gave up the struggle. They will
not, however, concede the plurality of
328. which the Owen* b*r claim to
night from complete returns.
Among Col. Breckinridge's strongest
friends are the fioiutuees here on the
county ticket, nnd they, a* well a*
other county candidates, were not dis
posed to hazard their Interests by as
sisting In throwing out any of the Ow
ens prec.ncts at Frankfort next Satur
day. It la not likely that there will ho
any ui»re agitation.
Col. Breckinridge will serve till next
March.

SENATOR JONE8 OF NEVADA.
The Republicans v;ho~iElected Him Its-
. quest Thu Ha RaSlen.
Carson. Ntv., Sept. 17.—Senator Jones of
Nevada he* been requested by th* Re
publican state c.tntral committee to re
sign In the Unit-d states senate, to which
he waa elected by Republican*. This re-
quest Is made in a long letter which waa
draftde by Chatman Trennor Coffin and
approved by the state central committee
at a meeting held In thl* city. The letter
exhaustively reviews Senator Jones' letter
of August 30, to the former chairman of
the committee. Enoch Strother, tn which
Jones ntys he has left the Republlsan
party to Join the Populists, and severely
crdtciasi his course of action. The main
points of the letter are oa follows:
"You aay that you have not changed
your principles—well and good. Then It
follows that you lave merely changed
your name, and Instead of catling yourself
a Republican you will hereafter term
yourself a Populist. Do the shilling exam-
pita of Populist Influence (conspicuous
among others that of your own coil-igue)
with whom you are dally and hourly con
fronted tn the senate, justify a belief that
such a ohange will add to your prestige
and power us a member at that body r
Do not the casea of Sumner and Hchurx
and Trumbull and many others furnish
the most painful reminders that the day
upon which a brilliant and distinguished
party leaddr breaks away from the or
ganisation In which he has won all his
fame, marks (he beginning of his political
decline! Can you reasonably expect a
different result? But by what mental pro.
cesses you arrive at the conclusion that
'the great principle' Involved requires you
to part'eompany with the Republican par
ty of Nevada, your letter entirely fall*
to disclose. You. corclude that we are
true to the cause of silver. Then why do
you abandon us? If we are true to sil
ver, why do -s not devotion to that 'prin
ciple' at which you wrote so eloquently,
require you to remain true to lie? Not
only have we been true to aMver. but we
have been true to every other great prin
ciple that you hold dear; and more tnan
all. we have been fidelity ttaelf to you.
Then we ask. again, why you abandon
us? No silver party does not accept
your name while the Populist party ooe*
not accept your creed.^ao that upon^evcry
erahy left -without a*party"ln the Mate of
Nevada. The publication of your letter
has not even caused a waver In th# ranks
and no detection oi any leiulrsr, however
great and distinguished, will cause them
to swerve a hair’s breadth from what
they believe to be their duty.
"In conclusion, we desire to remind you
that you were elected to the United
States senate as a Republican by the Re
publican party. In the strictest sens* the
office I* a political on* and the Republi
can party ts entitled to representation for
the flit term of iix year* from the fourth
of March. 1891. As you now announce
that you cannot act wtththe with the par
ty that elected you. every conetderatlon
of propriety and AeUxcr

berahlp of 25.000. nuking a combined
memberahlD of ntne-lantb* of a million
men and women. The net Increase* In
membership during th* year had been
83.000. Thl* waa lea* than th* Fssr pre-
vloua, but this might be accounted for
In tha United State* by a aeaaon <ff fln-
ar.clai stringency that leaaened the re
sources at th* p*o«>l*. In Canada, rel
atively a more oro*parous country, and
under It* stable butltutlona Ita* liable
to bualness fluctuations, tb# order hta
made greater progrea* than in any year
of It* hlatory. There hta been no dimi
nution. however, tn tha work accom
plished and the expenditure of three
and a third million dollir* for purpoae*
of relief was a sufficient evidence of
th* activity of Odd Fallowahlp. Th#
report deata at tenrth with the condi
tion of th* order in foreign land* and
then goes on to aay that peace and har
mony prevailed throughout th# entire
jurisdiction, except In Kansas, where a
number of lodges bad Invoked th* aid
of th* courts against an assessment or
dered by ths gvsnd lodge for the tup-
» f a bom*. This matter wifi be re-
to a body now in session for a
final adjudication. The military branch
known aa the Patriarchs Militant waa
represented as being in a proaperou*
condition. Numerous withered branches
had bean topped off during th* yeai
the force* generally reorganized an-
eleven new cantons mustered Into act
vice. The prosperity at tha Sisterhood
of Rebekah haa continued unabated.th*
membership Increasing rapidly. Th*
law* governing this branch, however,
required careful revision, but the views
ot the esters themselves should receive
full consideration. In no department of
work had there been such deckled prog
ress as In meklng provision for th* aged
members and orphan children. In many
states new homes had been opened,
-while numerous other jurisdictions aren
accumulating funds anil preparing
buildings for the laudable work.
The grand sire concluded with an elo
quent appeal to the delegate* to hasten
the establishment of the coming Air
rlzn age, of which poets have ureant
and philanthropist* hare hoped, t
which Chid Fellowship only has nu
poealbt*.
