THE HEBBASKA ADVERTISER SITUATION IN KENTUCKY Tllr Tuiigln (Irmvlnt; Out of lunl Wonk'a i:nrtloil (irmvliii; Worxi Kvnrj tl.iy IVderul llniril .lury Cli irncl. Louisville, ICy., Nov, 11. Thy tangle growing out of last week's election grows worse each day. Tiin was Hio third day of the ollleial count, lint t.he work of the county board of canvassers disclosed little information to clear the situation. Chairman Long, "of thu republican campaign committee,, yes terday repeated his claim of a plural ity of!t,tll for Taylor, based on ollleial returns from 110 counties and untilll clal returns from the remaining nine. The democratic papers ami lenders hero have ceased to give figures, but specials from Frankfort quote Candi date (loebel and other party leaders as saying they are conlldent of the suc cess of the Kenton county man. The completion of the returns to Ira presented to the state board of election commissioners when It meets in 1'Yank fort next month still depends upon the determination of the contests which arc being raised in several parts of tlio state, notably the strongly republican wniritiesof the Eleventh district, where the democrats claim tissue ballots were used. J'lieso contests have aroused much feeling In the localities aU'eeted. One of them involves the vote of Knox county, which gave Tavlor 1,!1'.IS plural ity. Yesterday Karhotirvillc, the coun ty seat, was visited hy hundreds of people interested in the result, their avowed purpose being to see that justice is done. Counsel for candidate Taylor began action in the lvnox coun ty district court to compel the county election olllcers to certify the vote to the state board of election commission ers. The contention is over Ml ballots from the Kirst precinct, but the peti tion filed by Taylor's counsel asserts that tlio election ollioers propose to throw out the entire county, .1 mitre, llrown granted a temporary injunction against such action. Johnson and Lewis counties are affected by the democratic charges of irregularities and legal complications are likely to arise. Thu federal grand jury, which was adjourned over thu elect ion, reconvened yesterday morning, but was charged bv Judge Hvaus recanting election vio lations, particularly with reference to the intimidation of colored voters. He recited the charges which lias reached tlie ears of the court and described in detail the olfenses upon which the In dictment should be found. STATEMENT BY BRYAN.

While the conversation was in progress tlie Iloers opened fire from Fort Wylie, but did no injury. Capt. Ilenslev thereupon retired on the train, after which tlie fusiliers volleyed on the fort. As there was no response, tlie presumption was that, the Iloers had retreated. Thu armored train returned here safely at six o'clock. Capt.
