Alleged Confessions in Conspiracy Case. the Democrats Making Strenuous Efforts ta Implicate Taylor. What Will He Do in Case Court De cides Against His Title? TAYLOR'S LAWYERS S ATTi TV HAVE MADE OVERTURES TO THE DEMOCRATIC ATTfYRttrrcrvs FOR A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF THE MUDDLE. Louisville, March 28. The court of appeals has decided to take up the con solidated governorship cases on Mon day. In response to the Question. 'What will you do should the court of appeals decide against you?" Governor Taylor said, "I am leaving the matter in the hands of my counsel and would ; not care to say what would be done." The lawyers in" the case are said to D9 ! strongly in favor of his obeying the mandate of the Kentucky court, though i a writ of error to the supreme court of the United States may be granted. i It is understood that by authority of prominent republicans, Taylor's law yers have made overtures to the dem ocratic counsel. It is stated that there would be no trouble about Taylor va cating the executive building in the event of an unfavorable decision from the court if the democrats assured Taylor he would not be arrested. The assurance will not be given as the democrats claim that something may develop to connect Taylo with the conspiracy. Vague hints by those on the inside of the democratic camp, make it apparent that a strenuous ef fort is being made to implicate Tay lor more fully with the conspiracy. ALLEGED CONFESSIONS; Frankfort, March 28. Developments in the11 conspiracy cases brought out lit tle news today. Culton, who is in con ference with Attorneys Campbell, Pols- grove and others at the Capitol hotel, said the purpose of the conference was to further detail the story of his con fession. The state's attorneys say Youtzey made no confession to them but talked to Attorney Scott. Scott said Youtzey revealed an awful plot. INDIANA A REFUGE. Louisville, March 28. Governor Mount, of Indiana, has informed the re publicans of Kentucky that his state is a haven of refuge for political refugees. He will not recognize requisitions from Beckham. Former Secretary of State Finley, for whom there is a warant for complicity in the Goebel murder, is at Indianapolis, conferring with ex- Governor Bradley. Other republicans will cross the river and take advantage of Mount's order. PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE. Washington, March 28. The presi dent informed the KentucKy repuDu cans that while he cannot inter en- in Kentucky affairs to the extent of dis arming the militia of either faction, he is willing, so far as he can legitimately, to recognize the republican officials es the de facto officials. He told tnem in the same connection that he would give directions that mail addressed tr. offl- Hfl.ls bv title only, should be delivered to republicans holding those offices and not to democrats. THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION Preparing for the National Gathering of the Republicans. Philadelphia, March 28.

The third check for $25,000 is ready to be forwarded to Senator Han na, who is chairman of the national committee, and the mayor is confident that the strain is nearly over, and that patriotic Philadelphians will see to it that the June convention shall he the most "brilliant and successful in the his tory of the republican party. ail of whom will be provided with desks. They will also be provided with telegraphic instruments in anoth er part of the hall. The seats assign ed to the newspaper men will necessar ily be reserved to those" who do actual writing for daily newspapers. Chairman McLean's committee is ex pected to at once organize for Ita diffi cult work. Headauarters will be es tablished in the building known as the new court houseon Sixth street below unestnut. This building is to be de molished in order to permit of the re storation of Independence square, but it is so well adapted for the work to be done that the tearing down will in all probability be deferred until the con vention business is cleared up. Another important committee just appointed by the mayor is that which will have entire charge of converting the exposition auditorium into a con vention hall. Architect Hewitt will begin alterations on the building this week. One of the most important commit' tees is yet to be appointed, but ex- Mayor Charles F. Warwick has con sented to act as chairman. This is the reception committee, and it will be the largest of all the working committees'. and will be one of the most interestiag in view of the fact that its work will n doubt have to be divided according to the states and territories, all of whose representatives will have to be lookel after. This committee will be made up very largely of those who have been active in the work of raising the$100 ,- 000 fund and the subscribers thereto. ARBUCKLE REDUCES PRICE OF REFINED SUGAR Thereby Making Henry 0. Hayey- meyer Weary' New York, March 28. John Arbuckle, who roasts" coffee to make money and refines sugar to trouble Henry O.

OPPOSITE TO SHELDON. Bloomington, Ind., March 28. The ,ev. Mr. Sheldon's effort to run a r.ewspaper tor one weeK has inspired H. J. I'eltus. editor of the Blooming- ton Star, to experiment in the opposite direction. He will turn over the edi torial and business departments of the newspaper to the printer's devil to con duct the sheet as Satan would. In an editorial he says: . "The Star for Saturday, March 31, will fee a devil of a paper. Suitable contributions for such a paper, briefly written, will be considered. No church notices nor reading matter nor adver tisements of a religious nature will be received. We propose to let the devil have full sway." INDIANA REPUBLICANS Indianapolis, March 28. The republi can state central committee met today to discuss matters in connection with the state convention, which meets the 25th. Nothing was decided upon except that the indorsement of the adminis tration will be general. ON SALE OF DANISH IS .ANDS. Washington, March 28. The state de partment adds its denial to that of the Danish foreign office relative to tHe Paris story that the United States had completed the acquisition of the Danish West Indian islands. The ne gotiations, which have so long occu pied the attention of the two govern ments, may be attended by success at an earlv date, but it is premature to announce the conclusion now.

JUNCTION OF BOER FORCES Generals Olivier, Groblar and Lemner Out of Dan ger. Milner.in Consultation With Roberts at Bloemfontein oubert Dies at Pretoria and Kruger Takes Command. All Well at Mafekinr on the Twen- eth, Instant. COAL MINES IN NATAL RFTNfi DESTROYED BY THE BOERS IN ORDER TO HANDICAP THE BRITISH WHERE MAY BE EXPECTED FIGHTING Pretoria, March 28. A despatch from Kronstadt says that Commandant Oli vier has joined Generals Groblar and Lemner, who are safe. General De larey is sick at Pretoria, but will pro- 1 ceed to the front on Sunday. Trains are frequently leaving with burghers for the fighting line this side of Bioem fontein. Generals Olivier. Groblar ami emner arrived at a point sufficiently far north to relieve the apprehensions of their being cut off. It is expected they will arrive at Winburg. in a few 1 days and effect a junction with ifn- eral Dewett, when the federals' position will oppose Roberts. OLIVIER EVADES FRENCH. London, March 28. Reports from Maseru, in Basutoland, state that the main body of the Boer forces under Ol- vier has reached a point thirty miles north of Maseru. They evaded at tempts to intercept them by cavalry under French, who is back in Bloem fontein. Olivier appears to have got ten 5,000 men and 25 wagons into a rugged country, where he can make an easyrear guard defense. JOUBERT DEAD. Pretoria, March -28. General Jou- bert died last night at 7:30 o'clock. He had been suffering from stomach com plaint. The town is plunged into mourning. Brussels, March 28. Petit Bleu pub lishes a despatch from Pretoria stst- ng that Kruger will take supreme command of the Boer forces in succes sion to Joubert. MILNER AT BLOEMFONTEIN. London, March 28. British High Commissioner Sir Alfred. MiLier ar rived at Bloemfontein today Wri-I was met by Roberts and his staff. He will confer with Roberts about the pacifica tion of the Free State. DESTROYING COLLIERIES. Pretoria, March 28. The Dundoe col liery has been blown up, the machinery destroyed and the mine rendered use less. A dspatch from Boer head quarters, Natal, announces that the destruction continues of coal mines likely to be useful to the British. AT MAFEKING. London, March 28. A private tele gram from Mafeking reports all weij there on March 20. WHERE FIGHTING IS EXPECTED London , March 28. The Chicago Record correspondent cables: There are at least three places in South Africa where fighting is likely to take place at any time.

French evidently is attempt ing to locate Commandant Olivier's troops in the neighborhood of Lady brand. It is also reported that a small force ot Boers In northwestern Cape Colony is intrenched and awaiting an attack. Gen. Buller appears to be ready for a determined campaign against the Boers who hold positions in the Biggarsberg range, but the probability is as strong as ever that he will not attack them now. PATIENTLY WAITING ON ROB ERTS. What Lord Roberts 1st doing nobody in London knows, and such is the magic of success nohody is complain ing very lustily over the want of knowledge. It Is. even said that the war office is in total ignorance of the plan the commander in chief has made for his advance. That important devel opments may be looked for before a great while, however, is certain. FEDERAL ALLIES WORK IN HAR MONY. The despatches announcing that the Boers are abandoning Kroonstad are pronounced misleading. It is declared that they are making extensive prep arations to fight at that point. Per sons of discrimination here hesitate to believe the stories of violent qiar reling between the allies. In view of the Globe's expert, all the Trans vaalers and a considerable minority of the Or ange Free Staters display every sign of an intention to make the work remain ing before the British army as difficult as possible. RHODES BOSSED THE DEFENSE. London, March 28. Mailed letters which have arrived here show that there was extreme friction between Colonel Kekewich and Cecil Rnodes during the siege of Kimberley. It was evidently a fight between the capitalist, backed by the civilians, and the soldier, backed by 6,000 troops, and the capitalist won, for Rhodes had 4,500 soldiers in addition to the De Beers company's stores of provisions, guns and ammunition. It is plain that, though Colonel K e- wich supplied the necessary military, Rhodes' bossed the defense in overv way, and Kekewich kicked all the time, but without avail. RUSSIAN WAR CLOUD. London, March 28. The Standard to day gives double-leaded prominence to the following special despatch from Odessa: "There can be no longer any doubt as to the object of the warlike prepara tions now being completed in South Russia. Nearly 250,000 men have al ready been mobilized for active ser vice. The Black Sea squadron, with transports, is held in instant readiness. "The tension in the relation!? between St. Petersburg and the Sublime Porte becomes every day more acute. TUe position is looked upon with the grav est apprehension. "If the Ottoman government, sup ported by Germany, should prove, stub bornly intractible with regard to Rms- sia's concessionary demands in Asia Minor, serious complications must in evitably ensue. The Russian garrisons in the Caucasus and along the Armen ian frontier have been increased four fold and equipped for active service." PROTEST TO SULTAN Constantinople, March 23. The for eisrn embass.ies 'have sent a collective n'ote to the gtovernmenit declaring in positive terms that they wild ooiaeent to nio imcrealse of import autits without a orevious uinderstatnding between the powers and the Porte. The embassies also propose to protect a inist the ta.mT dultiea already in force without an agreement. WATSON SAILS. Manila, March 28.

The senate today resumed consideration of the Porto Rican bill, the pending question being the free silver coinage amend ment offered by Morgan. The amend ment was defeated by a vote of 33 to 15. Senators Davis and Nelson introduced amendments to the Porto Rican bill today. The Davis amendment provides for duty on tobacco and rum brought into the United States from" Porto Rico. Nelson's amendment is a. sn in stitute for section 9 of the bill, as fol lows: - "Articles imported into the United States shall be exempt from duty, provided that articles of Porto Rican manufacture brought into the United States shall, before being with drawn for sale, be subject to the pay ment of tax equal to the internal rev enue tax imposed in the United States upon like articles of domestic manu facture, such tax to be paid by inter nal revenue stamps Procured from th collector of internal revenue ..at rth& port of entry of said-articles, and tobe affixed under the regulations; as the commissioner of internal revenue, with. the approval of the secretary of the treasury, shall prescribe. Minor routine business was transact ed at the opening of the house today before consideration of the army ap propriation bill was resumed. The con ference report of the pension appropria tion "bill was agreed to. When the par agraph appropriating $450,000 for build ing military telegraph cables in Alaska, was reached', Moody, of Massachu setts, offered an amendment which was adopted, requiring that commercial re ceipts over the lines should be account ed for, and covered into the treasury. The preparations for the census are being pushed rapidly ahead, and Mr. Merriam asserts that the bureau is two months ahead of any preceding census bureau in this respect. He is now busy in arranging for a test for enumerators. Heretofore little has been done to as certain the fitness of enumerators for their positions. Mr. Merriam proposes to ascertain this by sending to super visors test papers, containing blanks, which the candidate for enumerator must fill out exactly as he would if lie were appointed and making nte enu meration. Candidates who fail to pass the test satisfactorily will not be ap pointed. Mr. Merriam proposes to furnish the enumerators with badges. in consequence of the difficulties enu merators have sometimes met, with In some communities through suspicion of the people that they were not really in the service of the government. The , shipping department is sending out portfolios for enumerators at the rai? of 100 boxes a day. They are being prepared in the census bureau, instead of being left to the supervisors, as in the past. Chairman Davis, of tho committee on foreign ie ttions, says that he wil. at the first opportunity, ask the senate to consider the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and that he believes the treaty will be ratified after the adoption of his amendment permitting the United!
