Some Republicans Insist Than Taylor Should Not Sign. He Denies Any Personal Am bition Only Wants an Honest Election Law. Republican Legislators Hold Ses sion in London. Goebel's Remain at Covington Ar rangements for the Funeral in Frankfort. Frankfort, Feb. 6. "Whether be peace or bloodshed now rests there with Governor Taylor. Everything seems I to depend upon his signing or (refusing to sign the (articles of agreement, drawn up at the Louisville conference of representative (democrats and re publicans. Taylors position is a most trying one. Republicans here 1 1 I - - (are charging that 'he has been sold out. The republicans ay that the re publican representatives at the con ference allowed themselves to be hoodwinked, and gave In to the dem ocrats in every proposition. The full text of the agreement 'has not been made public, nor will it foe until the governor has made up his mind what he is going to do about it. The par ticipants m the conference pieagea themselves to secrecy, but some one violated the pledge, land allowed the substance of the agreement to be come lenown. Some republicans declare that It would be an act of cowardice for the governor to sign the agreement. They say he owes a duty to the people who elected (him, and a practical surrender of his office, as proposed would be a violation of that duty. On the other hand, the agreement having been sign ed by the republicans, headed by Mar shall, lieutenant governor under Tay lor, it is felt that if Taylor refuses to sign, he would rob1 himself and his party of all public sympathy, and in the event of bloodshed, that any jus tice that the cause might have would sink out of sight, awdl Taylor would be in the eyes of the rest of the world nothing more or less than a cold blooded murderer. There Is considerable question about the status of the republican members who drew up the agreement. The dem ocrats insist that they treated with them' as authorized representatives of Governor Taylor. The latter asserts that he never authorized1 any one to act for him in the sense that he had s !

I MIMMMIMM i &CO.Y r0 ,a rvf&MT Kflfcifttimenue.' ESainlnatSo'n Free agreed to stand by every thing they did. One or two of the republicans who participated in "the conference say this is true, and that they merely act ed as friends of Taylor, it being under stood that their actions were not bind ing on him in case he did not fully ap prove them. General Collier, in command of the troops, said this afternoon that it would be an act of "damned coward ice" on Taylor's part to sign the agree ment. 1 Ex-Congressman Hendricks, a mem ber of the democratic steering com mittee, in an interview with a Laffan correspondent this evening, said he believed Taylor would sign the agree ment. 'But, suppose he don't?" asked the corresponldtent. "Well, then," was the reply, "we have simply got to fight and meet force with force." The democratic legislators are all dodging arrest, fearing the republicans may catch them and force their at tendance at the session of the legisla ture in London. Most of the democrats have crossed into Ohio to make cer tain they won't be caught. A MASS MEETING TO ARRANGE FOR FUNERAL A big mass .meeting was held here tonight to arrange for the funeral ser vice over the body of Goebel when it is brought back from Covington, where it was taken today. The meeting was presided over (by Mrs. Jennie C. Mor ton, a Kentucky poetess. A lot of speeches were made, all of them of a pacific nature, and committees wer appointed to arrange for the funeral. The services will be held in a hall room of the Capitol hotel. All the bells the city will be tolled while.jthe funer al procel.fis tia progres and ajtt business will be suspended. Although Goebel was not a member of the Odd Fellows,, the OdkS Fellows have de cided to attend the funeral. They will come from all parts of the state REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS MEET AT LONDON London, Ky., Feb. 6. The republi can members of the legislature, 34 representatives and 14 senators, met today. The session lasted only 20 minutes. Senator Jolly was elected president pro tern of the senate and B. J. Berthurum speaker pro tern of the house. No sergeant-at-arms was elected, as it was not deemed) advisable to send out warrants for arrest of members who did not attend. Both houses adopted appropriate resolutions on the death of Goebel, and as a fur ther mark of respect adjourned until Thursday. The house under the rules not being able to adjourn only from toy to day will meet again tomorrow and adjourn until Thursday. The ses sion passed off smoothly. COVINGTON MOURNS AT GOEBEL'S FUNERAL Covington, Feb. 6. There was an impressive scene at the railroad sta tion, when Goebel's remains arrived today. Almost every store in the city was closed. All the public buildings were draped in -black. Fully 5,000 peo ple were awaiting the arrival of the funeral train. As the funeral cor tege passed heatdte were uncovered. The Odd Fellows' hall, where the remains were placed, was heavily draped. There were numerous beautiful floral offerings on the stage. The casket was placed in the center of the hall. Rev. Mr. (Schmidt, the pastor of St. Paul's Protestant church, which the dead man's parents attend, officiated!. The ceremonies were impressive. At their close an immense crowd viewed the remains. The body was; left in the hall for the public to view until 10:30 tonight. It is . estimated that 25,000 persons viewed the remains. The body will be taken to Frankfort In the morning.

There were sev eral conferences today between Gov ernor General :Wood, General Ludlow, Civil Governor Nunea and Secretary of 6tat Tamayo concerning the issue raised by Nunez In reference to the functions of the civil and military of ficials in connection with Ludlow's or- offdering the mayor of Hay ana to sub mit his budget to hintr AJRuere is evidently a desire to have e matter settled "amicably, an 4n ap parently the whole matter turns upon the interpretation "of MoKinley's order making Ludlow military governor of Havana. Ludlow leaves for a fort night's sojourn in the north. The public connects his ideparture with the recent controversy. ' Samuel Gornpers, the American labor leader, is here, consulting with labor leaders. He thinks that the unions of Havana are well organized. He will investigate the' strike of last" Septem ber, which Ludlow put down by threats of military force. AMENDMENT MAKES POOR HEADWAY Failure of Efforts to Campaign for it in Madison. (Special to the Gazette. Marshall, N. C, Feb. 6. Hon. Rob ert D. Gilmer of Waynesville spoke here this afternoon in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. He made a strong speech for his side, and labored hard to show that the amenidJment would be for the best in terest .of the people, but the grizzly farmers shook their heads in dissent. His speech fell flat, so far as making votes fr the amendment is concerned. Many democrats were heard to express their bitter opposition to the proposed disfranchising measure. Mr. Gilmer's speech has done more to arouse our people asrairrst the amendment thai? anything that has happened here since the agitation of the question. There will be speaking here on Thursday at 1 d. m. in ormosition to the amend ment. BROTHERS CREMATED Portland. Ind.. Feb. 6.

AT LADYSUITH Hetheun Begins an Advance HothiEg Fron Boiler. London, Feb. The war office at midnight reported in its unual formula that it had nothing to communicate, and such news as comes from other sources Is comparitively unimportant. Buller's continued silence is practi cally the only basis for the persistent be lief that he is advancing. , A telegram from Lorenzo Marquez, dated Tuesday, gives the latest news from Ladysmtth; where, according to Boer reports, a heavy cannonade began early on Monday, and continued when the despatch, which gives no details, was sent. From the same source comes the report of a Skirmish on Saturday with a party of the British, who were pro tecting some coolie grass cutters. The party lost three killed, and some cavalry sent to aid them also lost three men. The long inactivity of Methuen'a di vision att Modder (river has at length been broken, a movement apparently aiming at the flank of the Boers, havicg begun. REPLY TO CHAMBERLAIN. London, Feb. 6. In the house of commons today the liberal member, Asquitl in a speech defended the course of the opposition. While as serting that the war had been forced on Engand, he blamed the methods of negotiations as instancing a vanr. of foresight, in the sudden closing of the inquiry into the Jameson raid. He accused Chamberlain with being responsible for the entanglement at La dysmith. He declared that if he thought the war was the result of the machinations of speculators he would not vote a shilling for the prosecution of the war. Upon the conclusion of the debate upon Lord Fitzmaurice's amendment to the address in reply to the queen's speech, which was practically a de mand for a vote of censure " against the government, the amendment was defeated by a vote of 352 to 139.

AUDUT DANGERS Senator Marion Butler Speaks on the Pritchard Res olution. . Discussed from Constitution al Standpoint, Grave Danger to 60,000 White Voters fn "Grandfather Clause." If Eliminated No Power Could Beitox Their Ballot. FINANCIAL BILL WILL BE DIS CUSSED EACH DAY AFTER ROU TINE BUSINESS THERE WILL BE SEVERAL AMENDMENTS OF FERED. Washington, Feb. 6. Today's sea-, eion of the senate was lengthy and VBe voted to the discussion of various sub jects, chief among them being the Philppine Islands and the amendment to the North Carolina constitution. Caffery continued his speech of yes terday on the former subject, While Mr. Butler of North Carolina spoke on the latter. Gaffery contended that an arbitrary government had no place in the American system, and quoted Webster and Sumner in support of his .contention. He declared that, al though he had given the matter mucn thought; he was at a loss to say what position the Filipinos occupied. Mr. Butler supported the resolution declaring 'that certain proposed amend ments to the constitution of North Car olina was in contravention of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments' to the constitution of the United) States. He discussed the matter from a con stitutional standpoint, and jsaid:. '-!The voters of. North Carolina are intelligent enough to know there., is no grave, if not certain, danger to the 60,000 white voters in the amendment known as the "grandfather" clause, but they also know that if this amendment were adopted and section five eliminated1, lio power under heaen ' could restore to these voters their ballot. By ameniil ing the constitution these 60,000 voters are intelligent enough to know that when once disfranchised they would have no vote to change the amendment and help wipe out the wrong." He denounced The whole scheme, say ing It was fraught with danger 'and that it tended to put the south in a false and unenviable position . At the conclusion of Butler's speech" it was arranged to take up the finan cial bill each day" after the routine business. Notices- were given of sev eral amendments to the bill. One pro vided that nothing in the bill srtould operate against the renewal of efforts to secure international bimetallism, another that the golfll dollar of 25.8 grains and the silver dollar of 412.5 grains- shall toe the unit of value, and still another that nothing in the bill shall effect the present legal tender quality of the cilver dollar. IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Feb. 6. Today's ses sion in the house was almost wholly given to a discusaioa of the question of expansion, heing in committee of the W11V1C Ui-HJJU Lllt UlllUUlU tl CfAVt. WUh lar appropriation bill. Wilson of Ten nessee considered the subject histor ically, asserting it had been the policy of the- English-speaking people of America from the first. Williams of Mississippi antdl Morris of Minnesota discussed the constitu tional phases, the former maintaining that the United States could not ac quire territory without extending the constitution and its guarantee over it and the inhabitants thereof, and the latter contended that the United States could do any act Jhat any other sov ereign nation could. Other speakers were Messrs. William Allen Smith, H. C. Smith of Michigan and Neville or Nebraska. This concluded the general debate on the bill and it will be con sidered tomorrow by paragraphs for amendment. ON CANAL TREATY. , '' Washington Feb. 6. The Hay Paunceforte substitute for ithe; Clayton Bulwer treaty came before thje senate to day in the form of a motion; to remove the seal of secrecy. The - motion was agreed to. Opposition is growing among the triends of the Nicamguam canal, to the -treaty, principally-' Decause of the provisions for .bidding thevUnfted ... States to fortify the proposed ? waterway, and preventing the United States, from conr trolling it exclusively. , It- Is becoming evidenit that the treaty . will not go through the senate without a fortifica tion clause in it. Altogether the chances of ratification are not brilliant- If it should be approved the objectionable fea tures will probably be eliminated. J.t IS believed that England will insist on the seetrba preventing the 5 United States from erecting fortifications. ;-'Bffli9inei..l8i:v:Ty V" - f - -.... i i j. - : eMm;ietabWhe.arcd. to : bacco i - Store-Blombet .-"sv.r, . estaolishea Good night!
