Simultaneous with the issue of the proclamation orders were issued "to the commanders of the national guard to disperse their commands, and in less than an hour one company had started on the train for borne. Five more companies left tonight, and in the morning the rest will leave with the exception, perhaps, of one or two com panies, which will be left to guard the state house. After issuing the proclamation Tay lor remained' an hour in bis office talk ing to his friends. He then went home. Previous to his departure he invited the newspaper men to see him at his home this evening. When they called be excused himself and gave out the following statement, which ne explain ed, embodied everything that he would say under any circumstances: " "I have' only this to say: After ma ture deliberation, and a conference with my friends from every section of the state, I concluded to allow this controversy to take its due course, vig orously contesting every inch of ground and upholding the rights of the people to the utmost. If these rights be de stroyed the responsibility for that de struction must rest with those 'who. sit in judgment. "It is due to say that the eminent gentlemen, my friend's, -who secured the proposition resulting from the Louisville conference, acted in perfect good faith, from the highest motives of patriotism, and did the very best that they could." The proclamation issued by the gov ernor took the democrats (by surprise, CARE OF PROPERTY.

SPEECHES ON FINANCIAL " BILL IN THE SENATE All Oppose the Measure Resolution of Sympathy to Boers, Washington, Feb. 10. Three sena tors spoke on the financial bill today, all of whom opposed the measure. They were Messrs. Chandler, Chilton and Money. Mr. Chandler's speech was the feat ure. He urged the republicans to re main true to the platform of 1896, and declared that he would be false to his duties if he acted otherwise than he did in opposing the bilU He favored the double standard, and said that a vast majority of the people were bi metallists. He declared that monomet alists wished to curtail the money of the world,-' thereby inflicting snuff er ing and distress on millions of God's poor people, while they grew fat. Mr. Chilton declared that the bill was framed solely in the ' interest of the national 'banks. Mr. Money predicted that if gold in creased at the rate it had for the past five years bi-metallists would be ask ing for the "demonetization of gold, and the remonetization of silver. Mr. Allen presented a resolu 0. of sympathy to the Boers, and requesting the United States to mediate to bring about an honorable peace.

Articles of agreement were drawn up to- the satisfaction of both managers. A NEGRO'S CRIME. Nashville, Feb. 10.

WILL INVADE FREE STATE Bloemfontein Will be the Ob jective Point of the British. Joubert May Have to Lift Siege of Ladysmith. Boers Will Undoubtedly Make Final Effort to Capture White. BuHer Can Make This Difficult With out Loss of Men- WOULD COST 5,000 LIVES TO 'FORCE WAY TO LADYSMITH, WH. THE NEW OVE WILL BE PRAC TICALLY BLOODLESS. Lomlon, Feb. 10. Buller's third fail ure to pierce the impregnable Boer Une, which separates him from the be leaguered garrison at Ladysmith, lhas not caused the same degree of public gloom and despondency as did the for mer disastrous attempts. Perhaps this is because the British public is growing accustomed to adversity, and expects less of the generals in the fiela. There is no doubt, however, that the conviction is growing, that Buller's task is well-nigh Impossible, and tne relief of Ladysmith must be accom plished later, by Generals Roberts and Kitchener invading the Free State. The indications are increased this week that General Methuen's army will "be greatly reinforced, and will begin the march to Bloemfontein. Heavy ad ditions to the cavalry, the mounted in fantry, and the artillery, have been made in the past few days, to the force at Modder River, and it is generally be lieved that Roberts, or Kitchener, or perhaps both, have gone to that point. The Natal frontier can be held by a small fraction of General Joubert's ar my if he be willing or compelled to abandon the siege of Ladysmith It is doubtful If he will do the latter with- out final' desperate attempt to capture White" and his men Buller should now be able to prevent this, by keeping up" such ah unremitting activity as will serve to hold a large portion of Jou bert's men and guns on the southern bank of the Tugela. Such is the prevailing, and, on the whole, not unreasonably hopeful En glish military view of the latest situa tion, t The Laffan Bureau correspondent, who is with General Buller's forces and whose military experience entitles his pinion to the highest respect, ex presses the conviction that it would be impossible for Buller to force a passage to the besieged: town without the loss of 5,000 lives. Buller considers, and his countrymen will undoubtedly coincide that such a sacrifice would not be justified, when the same result may be accomplished, almost without loss, by Kitchener's advance in the Free State within a month or six weeks and the only question is White's ability to hold out during- the meantime. The-"domestic political situation is for the moment all that the government c,ould desire. Even Salisbury and Bal four, however, probably don't deceive themselves with any false hopes by reason of the big majority received this, week in the house of commons, and the result In Yorkshire of the-election. These events mean nothing, except that all parties believe that the govern ment must have a free hand for the present to carry the country through the disastrous crisis In which they have Involved it. The votes in the house of commons and " in the constituencies have not the slightest sfgnificance as to the attitude of the country, in re gard to the 'broad question as to the re sponsibility for England's misfortune?, and the action the people will take when the war is ended. The government's military program will probably include an increase of 40,000 men in the regular army and 3) per cent, additional artillery.

OUT OF MERCY PRISONER'S FATH ER ALLOWED TO ACCOMPANY HIM TO HIS CELL END OF A LONG AND EXPENSIVE TRIAL. New York, Feb. i. After seven hours and a half deliberation, during which they carefully studied the hand writing, the Molineux jury found him guilty at 10:45" tonight. Molineux took the blow without flinching. His father took it Hike an old soldier. The mother and the wife of the prisoner were not present. At the close the recorder de parted from the usual proceedure on the side of mercy and permitted the father to follow the son to the cell. It was the most impressive scene per haps In the history of criminal proced ure of the present time, coming as it did alt the end of the longest and most bitterly fought murder "trial on record, when the foreman of the jury, turning in his place to look the defendant in the face, said slowly and with great distinctness on every word: "We find him guilty of murder in the first de gree." When Ihe jury entered the court room their faces wore set expressions. Not one of them looked toward the prisoner and his father. When silence was es , tablished the prisoner was .brought in. - his father and Counsel Weeks. Leaning over he whispered to his counsel, his eyes scanning the jury. A few minutes after the recorder entered and ordered ", the clerk to call the rolls. The jurora answered to their names and then the foreman announced the verdict.

The re corder then asked Weeks if he hau. any requests to make in the matter of the passing of the sentence. Molineux, who had resumed his seat, leaned over and whisperea eagerly to Weeks: "Ask him to sentence me to death immediately." Weeks shook his head and said to the court: "Any day your honor sets is satisfactory." The recorder then set February 16, and ordered the defendant removed. The history of this case will be found t on page 6 of this morning's Gazette. AMERICAN FLAG HISSED IN HAVANA Cheers for Cuban and Spanish. Em blems Ludlow Sails. Havana, Fefo. 10.
