The Dem ocrats gained nearly every point they contended for, and the Republican representatives, rep-resentatives, Lieutenan t-Governor John Marshall, General Dan Lindsey and Attorney David Fairleigh, gave assurances assur-ances that the agreement would be accepted ac-cepted by Governor Taylor. The agreement provides that in order to leave no question as to the title of U'illiam Goebel and J. C. XV. Beckham to the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, the general assembly as-sembly shall pass a resolution in joint assembly validating the acts on the subject since the legislature has been prevented by troops from holding its regular sessions at Frankfort. As soon as the legislature does this, Beckham's title to the office of governor is not to be questioned. The Democrats grant immunity to Governor Taylor and his associates from prosecution for treason, usurpation usurpa-tion of office or contempt of court for what has been done since the shooting of Goebel. The Republican legislature is to be withdrawn from London immediately, and no filibustering or other attempt of this character is to be resorted to by the Republicans to obstruct the carrying carry-ing out of this agreement in the legislature. legis-lature. Mac-ram Is Home. Charles K. Macrum, former United States Consul at Pretoria, arrived Monday Mon-day on the American line steamship St. Paul. With him were his wife and little daughter. Mr. Macrum's silence is still unbroken, through he says that after his arrival in Washington he will issue a statement over his signature signa-ture telling why he left his post at such a critical time. Mr. Macrum refused to either confirm or deny the story that while in Paris he held a conference with Dr, Leyds, President Kruger's diplomatic; representative represen-tative in Kurope. It was pointed out to the former Consul Con-sul that the State department had given out that he was no longer connected con-nected with that branch of the service and that for that reason he was free to talk. To this he replied I can not help that: I consider that I am connected connect-ed with the department until I have reported in Washington. GOEBEL. SUCCUMBS. Death Was rainless Widespread OrUf Manifested. William Goebel, Democratic OTr-nor OTr-nor of Kentucky, died at 6:45 o'clock Saturday evening. The only persona present at the death bed were Mr. Goebel's sister, Mrs. Braunacker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel of Cincinnati, Cincin-nati, who have been in constant attendance at-tendance at Mr. Goebel's bedside, and Dr. McCormack. Justus Goebel, another brother, who has been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steam would carry him in a rain hope of reaching his dying brother in time for some token of recognition, ar-riven ar-riven forty minutes too late. Oxygen was frequently administered the dying man during the afternoon In an effort to keep him alive until his brother's arrival, but in vain. For, by the cruel irony of fate, the train on which Justus Goebel was traveling to Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, and when Mr. Goebel finally arrived it was only to learn that his brother was dead. Among bitter partisans of both parties deep grief is manifested, and already a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument for Mr. Goebel's memory on the spot in the state-nouse grounds where he was shot.

Kentucky situation Improving-. Armed conflict between civil authorities authori-ties of Franklin county and the national na-tional guard of the state of Kentucky has been averted, and unless some new causes should come to the front, there is no likelihood that the political situation situ-ation will become as threatening as it has been. Governor Taylor has ordered the release of A Ion zo Walker, for the release of whom Judge Moore declared that Sheriff Sutter would swear in a posse and take possession of thecapitol grounds, if such an extreme became necessary. Both sides wili take a rest pending the session of the Republicans called by Governor Taylor at London. No Democrats will attend unless they are taken there by the military force of the state, and no attempt will be made in this direction by Governor Taylor until he has afforded them every opportunity op-portunity to go to Loudon of their own accord, What will be done when it has been made certain that, the Democrats Demo-crats will not visit London has not been definitely determined by Governor Taylor. It is likely that matters on both sides will be allowed to drift until after the funeral of Mr. Goebel. Kentucky Democrats Leave the State. Thirty-two members of the Kentucky legislature, all Democrats, are making the hotels and homes of political friends in Cincinnati an asylum of refuge from whatever unknown and unpleasant possibilities in the capital city of their own state the immediate future might have in store for them.

The cries of suffering humanity rang in our ears and we stopped our ears. The groans were heard, but we an swered not. We saw them stripped and wounded on our way to Jerico and like the priest and the Levite, we passed by on the other side. Not unheard those cries and groans at the throne of the Almighty who. to awaken us from apathy of almost criminal indifference, permitted the engines of his wrath tc hurl their thunderbolts under the bowf Df the Maine, lying peacefully at anchor an-chor in the Havana harbor.

The Democrats have succeeded in having an injunction issued restraining restrain-ing Governor Taylor from interfering with the affairs of the state, and a court officer in attempting to serve the papers was arrested by the militia. The court will endeavor to enforce its orders and trouble is expected to follow. The Democratic acting governor, Beckham, Beck-ham, has appointed a Democratic commander com-mander of the state militia. Of course, the present militia will refuse to obey his orders or acknowledge his authority, author-ity, and this will afford the Democrats an excuse to organize a new military force, which will endeavor to assert his authority, which is expected to bring on aq armed clash.

Oppose Ratification of Treaty with Kngland Several senators have determined to oppose the ratification of the Clayton-Bulwer Clayton-Bulwer treaty as it applies to the Xie-araguan Xie-araguan canal, which was abrogated last week. The leaders in the opposition opposi-tion are Senators Piatt and Hawley of Connecticut. Mason of Illinois and several sev-eral others. The treaty is regarded, in effect, by some of the most conservative conserva-tive senators on both sides as an offensive and defensive alliance with Great Britain; that it closely associates the two countries in the control of a purely American project.

Never before in the history of this storm center has such a condition existed, nor public feeling been so high. With two men claiming to hold the office of governor, the partisans of each charging the other with fraud and violation of law, one probably on his deathbed and the other endeavoring to enforce his edicts at the point of the bayonet, a clash seems inevitable and serious consequences must follow. Eurly in the daj-, January 31, Governor Gover-nor Taylor, in order to forestall any attempt of the partisans of William Goebel in the legislature to declare Mr. Goebel elected, issued a proclamation proclama-tion adjourning the legislature, and calling it to meet at London, Kentucky, February 6. Notwithstanding this, however, the Democrats at 9 o'clock at night held a session in the Capital hotel, heard the report of the committee, and declared William Goebel governor and J. C. Breckham lieutenant governor of Kentucky. Ken-tucky. Chief Justice Hazelrigg of the court of appeals was sent for and administered ad-ministered the oath A proclamation was then issued by Goebel ordering all armed persons who were intimidating and restraining members of the legislature legis-lature from performing their duties (meaning the militia and partisans of Governor Taylor) to disperse. No more attention was paid to this proclamation proclama-tion than the one issued by Governor Taylor adjourning the legislature. The outcome is difficult to predict. All day through the streets of Frankfort Frank-fort soldiers marched and counter marched. Drills in the streets were frequently held in order that the men might be warmed bv exercise after they had remained in the biting wind. Around the penitentiary was a line of troops, in front of the opera house was a guard, three companies stood at rest in the" open space in froftt of the Capitol hotel, sentries patrolled every side of the building in which ex-Governor Bradley resides, and a detachment detach-ment of infantry held tbe courthouse against the possible coming of the members of the legislature with the intention of declaring that not the living liv-ing William S. Taylor, but the dying William (ioebel, was the lawful head and chief executive of the commonwealth common-wealth of Kentucky. It was the intention of Governor Taylor and his advisers that no meet ing of the legislature should be held even though it proved necessary to ar rest and detain in custody all those who persisted in holding meetings. .Not a member of the legislature knew whether or not the body would be permitted to meet in the Capitol building. They knew that soldiers were guarding every gate, and that nobody would bet allowed to enter march in a body to trie capitol. Clerk Edward Lee of the house, with Repre sentatives Kilday and Lewis, formed the advance guard and at 9:40 they presented themselves at the south gate of the capitol grounds.' A young lieutenant was on guard in comman4;of a small squad. As soon as the members of the legislature were identified th'ey were admitted and allowed al-lowed to pass into the capitol building. Not a soldier was in sight on the outside out-side of the building, but once the door was opened it looked like war. Long lines of infantry were drawn up on each side of the hall with fixed bayo-Dets- At the foot of the stairs leading j to the legislative halls stood Colonel Williams and behind him a detachment of soldiers completely blocking up the stairs. Colonel Williams carried in hie hand a large bundle of papers, one of which he handed to each member of the house as they passed him. It was a copy of the proclamation adjourning the legislature. When the main body of tbe legislature legisla-ture came tramping through the doorway door-way they were stopped by the soldiers sol-diers in an instant. Loud cries and exclamations ex-clamations flllehsxair, and Colonel Williams, mounting half way up the stairs, read the proclamation. "We are dealing with a pack ol heathens and bounds. Let's go to the opera house," yelled a member. The suggestion was acted upon, and the national guard was ordered to prevent pre-vent the meeting. There was no parade. Every man went as though running to a fire. They ran up the middle of the street and easily distanced the legislators, who took the sidewalk, and handicapped themselves by numerous posts, boxea and pedestrians that filled the way. When the lawmakers arrived all they obtained for their run of a quarter of a mile was the privilege of standing on the opposite side of the street and gazing gaz-ing at the opera house, the front of which was occupied by a panting line of soldiers in double rank with fixed bayonets. Speaker Trimble then said: "(Jentlemen, we are denied admission to the opera house. We will now adjourn ad-journ to the court house.'' Away went the crowd with good-natured good-natured yells of derision at the soldiers who had orders to remain at the opera house and could not leave. The triumph of the lawmakers was short-lived. Before Be-fore they had gone 100 feet from the opera house, around the corner swung a second company of soldiers directly in their path. The second heat of the race was now on, and away went the dignified senators sena-tors and representatives down the street in a cloud of dust, yelling like a pack of Indians. Alongside ran the soldiers. It was the same story over again, aDd the legislators were permitted to look at the outside of the court house while the soldiers held the path. General Collier had arrived by this time, and Speaker Trimble, advancing from the crowd, said: "Don't shoot, general." "lain not going to create any trouble. won't shoot unless I have to," was the reply. "We wish to be admitted to the court house," said Mr. Trimble. Both men were smiling. "It cannot be done, gentlemen," said the general, calmly. Speaker Trimble announced: "The legislature will now adjpurn, subject to my call." The crowd dispersed. The words "London, Laurel county," are not words that please Democratic! ears In fact, many of them declare that their lives would nof besafe after they reached that town.
