said: ' F-.
"I want to say for the defendant that

Will, Be .JTo Federal Interference.
Washinsrton. March 27. There was a
long discussion of tbe Kentucky situation
in tbe cabinet meeting today.- . (
It was made clear ton y in a general
way what the Kentucky Republican lead
ers would have the administration lead
ers do in their behalf. Thv ask the pres.
ident to recognise Gov. Ta lor as the ex
ecutive of the state by such method as
McKinley may deem best.
It has been suggested by some of the
Kentuckians that the use of federal arms
by the two factions of the. state militia
provides an opportunity for the national
administration to recognize Taylor as
governor. The representation is that one
or the other of these militia factions is
twin federal arms improperly, and , that
President McKinley should decide which
side should be deprived of its arms. Sen
ator Deboe and Representative Pugh dis
cussed the Situation with the president
and with Attorney General Griggs par
ticularly..-,: ?v"e-v-yi iYrv..-'-H;---"' iv.-
As soon as the Kentuckians had left the
white house the cabinet ' members con
tinued the discussion among themselves,
The stand was taken at once that the
federal governmenthas no function what
ever in the Kentucky tangle and that it
would be unwise as well as unjust for the
administration to interfere. -,-.:'.' V'-Vr
President McKinley holds that the . use
of Federal arms by the State., militia
forms no excuse or opportunity for gov
ernment interference.; .The arms were
loaned to the state and the state alone
is responsible for their safe keeping and
return to the government."
It was unanimously held by the pres
ident and the members of the cabinet,
that the Kentucky courts should be al
lowed to settle the troubles in -r the stata
without molestation or interference. '
