The trai office has reeeived the fol- owing uisraicn from F.eid Marshal Uord Roberta dated from the Modder river fcunday, Feb 11: I hare receiv-d a telejram from Bailer as follows, dated Friday, Feb. 9: " 'If was necessary after seizin?

The Morning L idr'a expert says: ' General Bailer felt that it would be fcse-a to persevere in his attempt to reiisve Ladysmith, which would have Cji: :nora loss than the number of men reuia mug in Ladjsmith. Wa hear now oi two attempts to trii General Ballar himself; one by a gaiail Bjer column marching through Zaiu-aud and another with d.000 men iu N ttal under the redoubtable Joubert hiuwlf.

G?n?ral Eaiicr is once more south of the Tupela river; General MacDonald is rack at the ilodder river, and appa rent, y, the Boers have lost none of the a-cendeucy they have held so lcnR. Yet tne news by no means causes tne acute disarpiiutment attendant upon the other faiiUres to relieve Ladysmith. This can be attributed to three C3CS3; nrsf, there is a strong belie; that General Bui.cr's last attempt was on.v a demonstration oa a large scale; cccnd, the wiser critics had warned tee public not to expect ttse immediate re icf of General White; third, tne na tion na3 settled down to the realization that the war will last a lonr time, and tuev are not swayed as at first by minor reverses and victories. Ice econd-and third reasons are self erible elucidation.

A HEAVY REWARD FOR GOEBEL'S SLAYER Bill Offering $100,000 For His Assassin. WILL LIKELY BE PASSED Both Houses of the Legislature Again In Session at LiouisvllU ! junction Suit Against Governor Taylor Will He Heard In Frunkfort. Louisville, Feb. 12. Although the protocol was not signed there is a truce in the fight for the state offices, to await action by the courts. Today at Cincin nati the case involving the minor offices and tomorrow at Frankfort the injunc tion suit against Governor Taylor will be heard. Both are likely to go far in shaping the oourse of the rival claim ants. There is much talk among Demo cratic lagislators about passing a bill offering $100,000 reward for the detec tion of the assassins of Governor Goe beL Such a bill has been prepared and it is believed will pass. Senator Blaokburn has been called to Washington cn personal business, leav ing the diplomatic management of Dem ocratic affairs in. the hands of Congress man D. II. Smith. Bjth houses of the legislature again met at the courthouse today. The efforts of the Democratic lawyers were directed today toward mapping out plans to secure the adjudication of the claims of Taylor and Beckham to the office of governor. ThHre is danger of a clash as long as the present posi tions are maintained. Judge Pryor be lieves the injunction suit now pending before Judge Cantrell at Frankfort will be useless as far as determining the main issue is concerned because its ob ject was to prevent Governor Taylor from interfering with the legislature or adjourning it to London. A new start must he had and this will probably be by a suit at law in behalf of Beckham to , L, 'iiy of the action of the legislature in uclariufe hiu yiwVand to secure possession of the office or by a petition in equity to restrain Taylor from exercising the duties of the office of governor. It is thocht such a case will befin before the end of the week. The Democrats will confine their offrta in f.h rar coirts. their conten tion being that federal courts have no jurisdiction in the case, ine xvepuou cans, either by appeal or original pro ceedings before Judge Taft, will en deavor to gst their claim before the federal courts, but their course will de pend largely upon that adodted by the Democrats. Petitions in the governor shin case were drawn up for submission to Judgs Ta:twith that affecting the minor offices, but were held up tempo rarily because of peace negotiations. Governor Bradley may now present them at any time. The court of appeals probably will hold its next session in Louisville; When soldiers were thrown around the state buildings the court adjourned;'de clining to sit with such surroundings Several of the judges have been here for the past week aud it is believed they will not return while any soldiers or armed men remain about the state buildings. When the house convened a concur rent resolution which had passed the senate was pf e ented. calling upon "The Honorable W. S. Taylor to at once withdraw the militia and force of armed men which he has gathered about him in the statehonse and sur render the executive offices to J. C. W. Beckham, the lawful governor." Under the rules the resolution went over for one day.

DEMOCRATS TO BRING- SUIT Pendlug the Casr, Both Parties Wilt Allow Matters to Stand Legislature Will Rrinaln Ih Louisville Resolu tion to M et at Frankfort Tabled. Louisville. Feb. 13. It is reasonably certain the political situation will re main in its present quiet state until a decision has been handed down by the i coart of appeals clearing the title to the office of governor. Before Judge Can-, trill at Georgetown tomorrow the Dem ocrats will bring a suit in equity asking an injunction to restrain Governor Tay-' lor from exercising any of the functions: of the office of governor. It is expected a temporary injunction will be granted. In oase the Republican executive dis regards the action of the court as was done in the oase of the Alonzo Walker habeas corpus writ and the injanction against interference with the legisla ture the Democrats will not press the proceedings for contempt, but will take the case to the court oi appeals, wnien according to their contention is the court of last resort in these proceedings. This plan was decided upon this morning at a conference of Democratic leaders, including Governor Beckham, Congressman D. H. Smith, ex-Governor McCreary, Judge W. S. Pryor and sev eral other lawyers. Pending the result of this suit, and the case before Judge Taft at Cincinnati involving the minor state offices it is ex pected both sides will allow things to rem-xin as thev now stand. The Democratic legislature will re main in Louisville, and it is believed the court of appeals will sit here instead of at Frankfort; as long as there are any soldiers or armed men about the state bnildi(igs at the capital.

Bill Boggns, another white mar, is also in jail there on the same charge. Thei grand jury has not yet indicted Boggns, anL the general pentiment is that there is not much evidence to con nect him with the crime. On the other hand, an indictment against Fulcher has baen returned, and he" will have to stand his trial Fulcher was arrested in Walton county a few days since and brought to Jefferson. He vigorously denies the charge against him, but the state is con fident that it has enough evidence to convict Fulcher. VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.

A letter re ceived from a prominent officer who served under General Wheeler ih the Philippines throws some light on "Fighting Joe's" sudden decision to re turn home and sever his connection with the military: branch of the govern ment. The writer, who is thoroughly re liable, confirms the reports received here and the opinion so frequently ex pressed that General Otis has been suc cessful in his efforts in depriving Gen eral Wheeler of any glory whatever in the military operations in the Philip pines.
