Decision of Court of Appeals Will Favor Beckham. Taylor Will Appeal Immediately to 'Supreme Court. FORMER GOVERNOR BRQWN WILL GO TO WASHINGTON TUESDAY AND FILE WRIT OF ERROR OUTWARDLY QUIET IN FRANKFORT' YESTERDAY. : Louisville, April 5. Governor Taylor at a conference with republican lead ers this morning- decided 'to resist all atempts of the democrats to seize the state house after the court of appeals decides the gubernatorial case on Moai day. Taylor will call the Barbourville company of militia to Frankfort at once. This will give Taylor 400. Beck ham has 400 men at Frankfort and four fieM pieces. This means that Taylor will resist with force. The decision of the court of appeals Is already conjectured, although it has not been handed down. It will doubt less favor Beckham in every way. Former Governor Brown said that on Tuesday he would go to Washington arm file a writ of error before a justice of the supreme court. General Collier said todiay: "The stories that the governor remained in Morganton to escape arrest are false. He went there to 'be present at the funeral of his sister, and stayed over a Tew days to attend to private 'busi ness. Taylor will not give up the of fice until the supreme court decides against him." BACKDOWN BY DEMOCRATS. Frankfort, April 5. An authoritative statement came from the headquajters' of the democratic officials today, in semi-official notes, that the agreement of the representatives of the democrats and republicans to awai't the action of the courts in the governor contest- be fore making efforts to take forcible possession, will be strictly adhered to, set at rest the gossip of a possible clasih between the forces of Taylor and Beckham. The court will hand down its decision at the next meeting-, either Saturday or Monday. The republican attorneys have made all preparaions to apply at once for a writ of error to the supreme court, and if the court of ap peals refuses to grant the appeal appli cation will be made before the supreme court of the United States. If they re fuse to entertain the motion the con test will come to an end. if tne su preme court should take the case and hoW it under submission for months without decision, or until after the No- ve-miber election, there is little doubt that a clash will occur within this time as it would be construed as unreason able delay by the Beckham people. The democratic officers claim they are Buffering little inconvenience in being excluded from the state buildings, as they are proceeding- with the regular Oxufer oj. uu&iness.

FIGHTING REPORTED NEAR MAPEKING 0arrison Makes Sorties but are Re pulsed Steyn's Speech at the Opening of the Free State Haad. London, April 5. A special despatch from Lorenzo Marquez says sharp fighting occurred! April 2 in the neigh borhood of Mafeking. The garrison made a sortie, while General Plumer's cavalry attacked the, Boers ait Ramath labama. Both attacks were repulsed. Detached bodies of Boer horse, num bering from 50fr to 1,000 each, have ap peared at several places to the south ward and eastward of Bloemfontein, threatening the rMlroad, but communi cation by wire and rail is not in the least affected. One of these forces is near East Springfontein, on the Bloem fontein railroad, and General Gatacre's forces are reported as about to engage it. Lord Roberts seemingly declines to senxl columns chasing the Boer .bands. He is reserving the cavalry and trans port animals for the forward move ment. Explanations havin indirect origin in the war office as to why Lord Roberts is inactive are that there h'as been a lack of horses for remounts., but new horses are arriving by trainloads hourly. The pressure on the railroad is so great that private parcels and of ficers' newspapers are not forwarded from Cape Town for three weeks. A despatch from Cape Town, dated yest'ertday, announces the departure for the front of the second contingent of Canadian mounted infantry. Rudyard Kipling has returned to Cape Town. PLUMER IN THE TRANSVAAL. Gaberones, Beuchanaiand, March 28. Colonel Plumer, with a force of Brit ish mounted infantry, started on a dar ing march Sunday with the object of meeting 'the Boer lines of communica tion. After two rapid night marches through rthe Transvaal territory they arrived, March 27, within twelve miles of Zeerhurst and distinctly heard the -bombardment of Mafekmg. Having reconnoitered the country with a view to future operations, Colonel Plumer crossed the railroad south. Mafeking, March 23. There has been littjle excitement during the past week. The Boer shell fire comes in fitful gusts and has little effect. British casualties are almost nil. The Boers seem to be breaking up their main laager and have taken up an intrenched position north ward, with a view to preventing the approach of relief. Sharpshooters keep up a steady interchange of fire. It is rumored relief is near., The usual Sunday truce enables the garrison to continue playing cricket matches. An Irish-American trooper of the Protectorate regiment has deserted to the Boers. A reward of $50 is offered for his capture, 'dead or alive. STEYN OPENS THE RAAD. Pretoria, April 2. In a speech open ing the Free State raad President Steyn declared that in spite of the sur render of Bloemfontein he had not losit hope in the triumph of the republican cause. The war, he said, was forced upon the Transvaal, and nothing re mained for the Orange Free State but to throw in its lot with her sis'ter re public in accordance with the terms of the treaty. The war, he continued!, wras begun with the object of maintaining by arms (the independence bought with the blood of the forefathers of the na tion, and had 'been so successful that it caused the greatest wonder through out the world and even to the Boers themselves. After paying a tribute to the memory of Joubert, President Steyn said) the British are now in ov erwhelming numbers violating the flag of ttttce and the Red Cross and he was BOARDERS WANTED At Sunny Side Cottage on sunset Drive.

Some apprehension is beginning to be feit regarding the fly-by-night parties of Boers which dash out to the south of Bloemfontein and interfere with Lord Roberts' communications. Dis quiet is also induced) -by the reports from Barkly West that the Boers are massing troops at Taungs, Milklei, Cornforth hill and Kleinboetslap. It is conceded that the British commander-in-chief is in the midst of annoying difficulties, calling- for speedy, summary action WHY SIPIDO SHOT AT PRINCE OF WALES. Magistrates Doubt His Story Is H 3 Shielding Others? Brussels, April 5. According to tne Etoile Beige, the youth who shot at the Prince of Wales yesterday, Sipido, explained his motive as follows: "For a long time I have thought that ambitious men who are unchaining war, at the sacrifice of so many human lives, deserve to be punished. These men should! suffer the penalty of retal iation. When I learned by the papers that the prince was going- to pass through Brussels, I immediately re solved to become the avenger of hu maniy and kill the assassin. On Sun day I went to Old Market and bought a second hand revolver and cartridges. I had made up my mind to carry out 'the project. I regret that I have not accomplished it as I desired." The magistrates, struck bv the inco- herency of the story, are convinced that Sipdio does not' tell the whole truth and wishes to' save 'to some one. They will investigate the truth of the prisoners statement. CONVENTION HALL WILL BE REBUILT IMMEDIATELY. Funds Eaised by Solicitation Aggre gate Loss $395,000-Half Insured. Kansas City, April 5.
