Postponement ol Action on Agreement to Anotner Conference. Reported That L & N. Will Remove Offices and Shops From the State, Taylor Advised That He Can- not Surrender. Rain Does Not Keep the Crowds From Viewing Remains of Goebel. Frankfort, Feb. 7. It has been a day of pulling and hauling and anxiety here. Taylor was momentarily ex pected to sign the agreement settling the trouble, but up to a late hour to night not a word! came from him. The democrats assert that upon his answer hangs the question of peace or blood shed, while the republicans say that to accept the so-called Louisville "trea ty, would be an act of cowardice. The Louisville Commercial, one of the chief organs, of the republicans, ed itorially denounces the; agreement and says it will be a -sorry day for Ken tucky when peace can be purchased"at such a price. It contends Taylor haa not any right to surrender the office un til legally deposed, or to "trade" the great trust confided in him by the peo pie for the so-called "immunity" from the consequences of any of his public acts. It is comment such as this from the republican newspapers, backed up by numerous letters and telegrams from republicans, that is causing the gov ernor to halt. Taylor has been In conference in his private office at the state house all day with a number of the men who attended; the conference at which the agreement was signed. All his legal advisers are also with him Late tonight he was still closeted with Lthem. GOEBEL'S BODY LIES IN STATE IN FRANKFORT Goebel's body was brought here to. day from Covington and is lying m state tonierht in the ladies parlor of the Capitol hotel. The hotels have filled up again with people, and the talk of the crowd is getting to be more like that, that was heard immediately after the shooting of Goebel. Meh are saying they would not give two cents for Taylor's life, no matter how the controversy over the governorship is settled. He is spoken of as a mark fl man. as are others who have been friendly to him. Notwithstanding the fact that rain was descending when Goebel's body arrived, there was a. big Crowd at the CARE OF PROPERTY. www If you (own rentable property and haven't the time, opportunity or inclination! to give n your per vrwai nitterttion. we Would lie TjQeased to look af ter it for you. rent 5t, collect the rent, have any necessary repairs made, etc. W e promise prompt and careful at 'teoition. to every detail of business entrusted to us. oooo WILKIE & LaBARBE, , Real Estete Agents, 23 Patton Avenue.

Hundreds of dollars worth of floral offerings have already been received at the hotel, and the ladies' parlor seems to be a mass of flowers with Just a line through the center. The casket was placed, on one side of the line' and then the crow, formed in a line and for several hours they passed through the room and viewed the body. Great preparations are being made for the funeral tomorrow. Special trains are to be run from all parts of the state, and it is expected that there will be more people here thaa have ev er been in town at one tirr before. In anticipation of this crowi and its known temper General Collier has ordered all the soldiers to roina'.a with in Capitol square grounds The sight of them on the streets, he thinks, would have a tendency to anger the TfvmlA whn wptp fripnrls of H-opVipI nnd he will take no chances of a clash. TAYLOR WILL GIVE UP FOR FAIR ELECTION LAW It is believed by Taylor a frieno's that the situation would be mub simplified if the article of the Louisville agree ment relating to the repeal of the Goe bel election law were stronger. The agreement pledges a revii'on of the law. Taylor feels, it is sai I, if he coukl bring about an absolute repeal of the law and the substitution' of a law that would guarantee fair elections in the future, it would be a substantial gain for the republicans, anl !t wuld be Worth giving up the office to get the result. There is talk' at a late hour tbnigitt of the postponement of action on th4 agreement rntil another c&aemft!& can be held, and. 'the talk is thattleie will be another conference JjVttay night in Louisville. ' REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY ELECTS SEVERAL OFFICERS London, Ky., Feb. 7.

A new feature of the political situation tonight is the rumor that the Louisville and Nash ville road will remove all its shops and its main offices from the state. This railroad is the biggest industry Va the whole state.

The greater portion of today's session of the senate was devoted to discussion of the finan- bill. Turner, Bate and Allen dis cussed the subject In lengthy remarks, all hree being opposed to it. Turner charged the republicans with infldelitv with regard to bimetallism. He traised the Chicago platform ami;, referred tn his party as "noble, inspired and God like democracy." Bate asserted that the bill was in the interest of the national bank and against the interests of the people."

Grosvenor of Ohio sent the house into shrieks of aughter, ridiculing Sha froths demand in mock heroic terms, denouncing the United States for its failure to have interferred in the past in cases of oppression and wrong in the relations of nations. He recommended the appointment of a commission to roam over.the earth in. search of cases of foul "Dlay and wrong doing. In cas-e it appeared that the natives of nBxOnged) country resided in the district of any member of congressY then ' the United States was . to go to war, to re dress the wrong.

London, Feb. 7. Renewed and im portant attempts to relieve both La- dysmith and Kimberley have been made, but the war office refuses to dis close the result of either advance, al though information later than the press despatches is undoubtedly in possession of the authorities. Th Tffan correspondent with Buller was allow ed to telegraph last night to the effect that a feint had been made by the British in front of Spearman's Oamn Monday, which was successful, . while an advance was accomplished across the Tugela river some distance to the east, where a position was gained on the north bank of the river and. was heldby the British. It was added that the fighting continued. There were some further idetails from .cipher, sour ces, but the situation ibeyohd Tuesday is unknown, and the war office re fuses to give any information. THE DEMONSTRATION'' SpearmanV Ca.mp,"'Feb. 7.-6:05 p. m.i-On Monday the British made a successful frontal demonstration, while the real advance was made nu the righf by the Durham' light infantry, who stormed two hills and then blv ouaced. The casualties were not heavy. Fighting continues at the time this idfespatch was sent. FROM THE BOER SIDE.; , London, Feb-. 7. The Laffan " Bu reau despatch from Spearman's Camp is , practically, confirmed from the BcJeir side. The Boer commander declares that he repulsed Buller's frontal at tack, but admits that the British main tained a position north of Tugela river. He is, however, silent regarding , the subsequent events. Another Boer report ascribes to Commandant Shalkberger the success ful repulse of Monday's frontal attack, and declares that the British recrossed to the south side of the river in great confusion at Port Drift, losing heavily. The artillery cannonade continued and was the fiercest yet experienced. The British took an unimportant position on a small kopje, but the big guns had ceased! firing. Four Boers were killed Monday. BLOCKADERS ARE FEWER. Fifth District Bein Troubled Less and Fonrth More. Collector Harkins was notified yester day that Deputy Coiledtor Bradshaw, C. S. Davis and W. W.

Blockading seems1 to be cm the decrease in the Fifth district. The officers have been very dilligent, and a great many of the blockaders are in jaM. Still more have moved out of the district. Many of them seem to have gone to the eastern part of the state, in the Fourth 'district, and now, where a few years ago a blockade still was a rarity. there are dizena of them.
