Frankfort, Ky., February 9. Tay lor continues to announce that he (has not made lip his mind regarding the Louisville agreement. There is practically no change in the situation kexcept that each day things become more quiet. It is only the presence of the militia at the state building that tells the stranger that there is any thing out of the ordinary going on. People still talk ugly and they excuse themselves for riot doing anything by saying the Louisville conference de clared a truce until Monday, and they must observe it. General Castleman, who was appointed adjutant general by Governor Beckham, is receiving offers from all over the state, of men wishing to join his national guard and march on Frankfort. Offers are also pouring in on Taylor of men to support his cause. Tonight (democrats are saying they are " tired, of Taylor's an ultimatum. Colonel Breckinridge, one of Taylor's eounsel,ma'kes a statement in his paper .the.. Lexington Herald; to scatningiy arraigns tire Udebelltes and declares that Taylor has practically won the fight. He says the signing of the agreement by Taylor twould de stroy the republican party in Ken tucky. There is talk of a general meeting of republicans to be held to morrow to consider the agreement. Tonight Taylor went to his home under protection of a guard. The bearing of the democrats ' for a perpetual injunction, brought in the state, court, has been postponed until Tuesdays next. Governor Bectcham declared tonight he would not allow any democratic legislators to be arrest ed who come to Louisville. He re fuses to say what means he will em ploy. AT LONDON. London, Ky., Feb. 9. The . republi can legislators were in joint session to day and adopted a resolution by a ris ing vote amid applause, declaring that the entire republican state ticket was elected at the election on November 7 by a plurality aggregating, more than 2,000 votes, awdi that neither Governor Taylor, Lieutenant Governor .Marshall nor their attorneys, nor any citizen, nor any body of citizens, can annul or disregard the results fixed by the ver dict of the people-The resolutions fur ther pledge the officers so Elected their confidence and support. - Representative" Slack received a 'tele gram from Governor" Taylor today in structlng,'!hlm to put warrants In the hands of the serigeant-at-arms for the arrest of representatives A similar telegram was also received by tihe president pro tern of the senate.

It te likely. that a general meeting nf republicans wifll be held here tomorrow to consider the peace agreement as adopted at Louisville. TJie impression Is becoming general among republicans' who were not parties. to the agreement; that the compact a complete surrender to the democrats.. The men who signed the agreement for the republicans do ro-t so consider it. Taylor has been in a difficult position! owing to the pressure brought to bear upon him, as he . has not thought it wise to make a statement regarding his In tentions until he could convince the party that anything he would do iwon be for the good of tt&vpurty. XI e there fore sent a large number of welerrams to all the men who have showered at him their advice to be In Frankfort by Saturday morning. The, intention of Taylor cannot be learned. Two men suspected of complicity ! n the murder of Goebel were arrested in a boarding 'house today. Their names are Si'las Jones of Whitley county and Gottschalk of Nelson county.

The attor neys refused to give out the petitions for publication, but there have (been two petitions prepared. Bradley is em phatic in .stating that the petitions 1 no wise either affected Taylor or Lieu tenant Governor Marshall, and therefore would not confldctwith " the pending conferences for agreement. The first petition is one in which! re publican state officers other than tfoe democratic contestants . from further interfering" with the jla!nUff s in the performance of their sworn duties.

Gatacre's Outposts Attacked But Botn Driven Off. GENERAL MACDONALD RETURN ING FROM KOODOOS BERG, AF. TER HIS SUCCioSFUL RECON NOISSANCE, AND THERE ARE NOW NO BOERS VISIBLE THERE. ' London, Feb. 10. Buller's third at tempt to relieve Ladysmith has failed and the British "have again retired south of the Tugela river. A despatch from the Boer head laager at Lady smith February 8 reached London last evening announcing that the retirement occurred Thursday morning. Inquiries at the war office and in the house of commops in the course of the evening only drew out the assurance that the government had received no news, and at midnight the war office, officially intimated that it had received nothing confirming or contradicting the report of Buller's withdrawal. Just before the house of commons adjourned Balfour stated that' Buller was not pressing his advance from the " position he occupied Wednesday, and a little later theLaffan Bureau's , spe cial despatch from the British -headquarters at Springfield Bridge' reached London eonveyjng the first definite an nouncement from the British side that the troops had been withdrawn. Springfield Bridge is south of Little Tu gela river. Thus the British people are callecl upon for the third time to face a seri ous check to British arms in Natal, and the relief of Ladysmith is again indefin itely postponed. The war in Natal now seems to be at a deadlock. BOERS DRIVEN OFF. ' L&idon, Feb. 9.

Roberts confirms the report of Gener al MacDonald's move from . Koodoos berg. He says ' General' Bablngton. with reinforcements, joined MacDon ald, and drove the Boers to Painters drift. The (Boers vacated he position and none of them are now visible. A despatch from Modder riyer states that General MacDonald with a brigade is returning from Koodoosbecg; ,drif t, after' having made a successful recon noissance. r . - ACROSS THE TUGELA. , Lorenzo Marquez, Febi0-:A de spatch from the Boer headguiarters at Ladysmith, dated the - 8jth, states ' that the British retired adross the Tugela. river that morning.
