A cavalry brigade, consisting of the Co mposite regiment, the Scots Greys and Sixteenth and Twelfth Iancers and two batteries of horse artillery, arrived from Modder River at 3:30 ocloekin the afternoon and kept to the-north with a view of cutting off the burghers. The Boers then retired to the. "west, generally between Sand Drift and the kopjes. Wire fence en tanglements impeded the advance of the cavalry brigade, but it is believe! that some execution was done anion the Boers who galloped away to the west. The British cavalrymen were too exhausted to continue the pursuit and returned io earn p. The officers say that if thv had been able to encircle the Boer position quicker they would have captured the gun which caused so much a nno va nee and would have Inflicted heavy loss on the burghers. The Sea forth Highlanders, three com panies of the First Highland Light Infantry and ttwo companies of the Black Watch held the easterti kopje till sundown and remained there for the night. The British were greatly handicap ped early in the day because of the lack of mounted men. The field tele graph worked admirably. .TfacDonald'e Expedition Called Off London. I eb. 10.

A squadron of the Xlnth Lan cers skirmished four miles below the drift, but could not see any burghers, and it was evident that they had re treated during the night. The Boers lost several men yester day trying to reach the only accessi ble water. To get to this point they had to traverse a sand ridge about three hundred yards In length. A few thorn bushes afforded the only corer, and Argyll and Sutherland Highland t-rs. with a Maxim gun and a section of artillery, pounded this ridge inces santly throughout the afternoon. The 'Boers, from a kopje near by, made desperate efforts to reach the water, but were not successful. A section of a cavalry brigade and horse artillery attacked the Boers in the forenoon and drove them back to their mountain laager at Kamel boek. It is estimated 'that the Boers have lost aliout one hundred men since the fighting legan. Roer Llnea of Communication Open Iondon, Feb. 10. A dispatch from Bensberg.

Levds believes the -military opera tions of the British toward Ladysmlth ire merely a subterfuge to divert at tention from the frontier of Orange j.Vp State, where the forces of Gen erals French. Gatacre and Kelly Kenny are combining for a joint ad ranee on Blown f on tein. The Transvaal agent says the fall or relief of Ladysmlth Is unimportant, as the English regard it merely as an episode of the campaign. Ralloonlat Saw Dig Gun. Xondon, Feb. 10.

Feb. 10. The jury in the iMolineux trial at 11 o'clock tonight rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the first decree TAYLOR WILL FIGHT Kentucky's Governor Flings Defiance to Democrats HE SENDS SOLDIERS HOME In Announcing Ilia Determination to Jlare it Ont In tlie Co arts, Taylor Saya He Will Conteat Erery Inch L.e&:lalatare Ordered Rack to Frank' fort Democratic Plans Upset by tlie Action of the Governor Frankfort, Feb. 10.-K2eneral Taylor refuses positively to abide by .the IxuiisTille agreement and has invited the Democrats to come and take his office from him; but he warns. them that It must be by due process of law, and in the legal fight in the State courts he will contest every inch of the way. He has ordered the militia home. The Governor's determination to fight in the courts was announced this afternoon at the close of a conference attended by 250 Republican leaders from all parts of the State. The an nouncement was made by Taylor In the shape of a proclamation as fol lows: "The excitement recently prevailing in this city having to same extent subsided, and there appearing now to be no necessity for the general assem bly to remain in Jondon, I do hereby by this proclamation reconvene the legislature in 'Fran'kfort February 12 at 12 o'clock noon." j Simultaneously with the issue of the proclamation orders were Issued to commanders of the National Guard to disperse their commands, and in less than an hour one company had start ed on a train for home. Five more companies left tonight, and in the morning the rest will leave, wdth the exception, perhaps, of one or two companies which will be left to guard the State house. After iss-uing his proclamation Gov ernor Tavlor remained an hour in his office talking with friends. He then went home. Previous to his departure he invited newspaper men to see htoi at home this evening. When they called he excused himself and gave out the following statement which, he ex plained, embodied everything that he would say under any circumstance?: Governor Tajlor'a StatemenU "I have only this to say: "Alter mature deliberation and con ference -with my frjends from every section of the State, I have concluded to allow this controversy to take its due course, vigorously contesting j j . 1 i.i every men or grounu auu upuuiuiug the righrs of the people to tire uttei . ... 11 1 most. If these rights 'ne oestroyeu tne responsibility for that destruction- must rest with those wno su in judg ment. It is due ithem to say that the eminent gentlemen, my friends, who secured the proposition resulting from the Iiouisville conference, acted m perfect good faith from the highest motives of patriotism, and did the very best they could." The proclamation issued by the gov ernor took the Democrats by surprise, and tip to late tonight they had de cided on no plan of action. Nearly all of them are in Louisville. . Democrats who are here are in censed at Taylor's action. They say that he Democratic legislators can not come here Monday without recog nizing the fact that Taylor Is governor and that they cannot get possession of the State house and the .State prop erty, which is the bone of contention, without coming here. From Louisville tonight comes word that Beckham has advised the Demo crats that he cannot guarantee them protection in Frankfort, and therefore they declare that they cannot come here. The stand taken by the governor seems to leave the situation, from the Republican standpoint, exactly where it was before Goebel was shot. Beckham, after learning the decis ion of Taylor, sent a message to the Democratic legislators notifying them of Taylor's refusal to sign the agree ment and declaring that all negotia tions in that line were ended. He re commends that they continue their sessions for the present in 'Louisville, where ther will be protected. lie says the capitol -buildings are now held by an armed force in defiance or law, and promises that as the legally elect ed governor he will use every lawrm means to restore order at the State ranltal. He further says that as soon as the legislators deem it advisable they can adjourn iheir meetings to Frankfort and asks their co-operation In bringing about peace. Wen the Democratic legis-iatora heard the message read they passed resolutions providing for the appoint ment of a Jomt committee to lnvesfa- ffate and report to the geenral assem bly whether, such conditions prevail at the seat or government as win rentier it possible and advisable for the legis lature to resume Its sittings there, and in the meantime the assembly will continue to hold sittings 4s Louisville. It is the geenral belief here that the whole situation will be solved by the courts and tha.t there will be no lur- FORTUNE AND TAYLOR GUIITY Tney Are to Be Hanged Next Ittontb for V the TOnrder of Robert Heater. -Nashville, N. C Feb. 10. Special. Robert Fortune and John Taylor were tried in the criminal court yesterday for the murder of Robert Hester, near Rocky iMount The solicitor -was as sisted in' the prosecution by L. V. Bas- serft -and B. II. Bunn. Judge. Battle appointed Austin & Grantham .to .de fend the prisoners. The morning ses slonhvas occupied in securing a jury. Ihe defendants offered no evidence. The State', made a very clear ea se. The evidence located the prisoners in II ocky -Mount and followed them to the scene of the murder. Two or three different witnesses saw two negroes resembling the defendants at the place of. the tragedy only a few minutes be fore 4 the pistol shots were heard Other witnesses saw and recognized the. defendants a short while after ithe shooting coming from the direction of the sceue of the murder towards the railroad. They took the railroad and went! to Battleboro, where they were aTrested. A pistol was found on the person of each two empty chambers an one, and one in the other, which corresponded with the times Hester was shot. Seven dollars and twenty cents was also found on their person which corresponded with the amount taken from air. iHesrer. The prisoners were taken from Battleboro to Hes ter's : home. He recognized them and positively identified them as the ne groes who robbed and shot him. When taken before the mayor of Rocky Mount: for a preliminary hearing thev confessed the crime. Fortune said they: asked Hester to change some money for them. When he took out his purse they asked him to give all he had to them, whereupon he threw his purse to them. Then they shot him Fortune twice and Taylor once. After the State closed the defend ants did not care to testify in their own behalf. No argument was made by counsel on either side, .but the case Avas left with His Honor's charge to the jury. The jury" was out only a short while when they returned with a verdict of guilty of murder in the firsi degree. Judge Battle, in a very solemn and serious manner, pro nounced the sentence of death upon the prisoners. They are to be hanged the 13th day of March. RRAN FALLS DOWN AGAIN Judge Waddill Declines to 7& ---... W Grant an Injunction. Counsel for Ryan Say Their Canae la Not Lost They Will Continue the -FIsht Against Conaollda tion Seaboard Roads Richmond, Va,, lTeb. 10. Judge Waddall, sitting in the United Stares District Court, this morning handed down an opinion in the application of Thomas F. Ryan for a preliminary in junction against the Seaboard & Roa noko Railroad following the granting of consolidation; privileges by the Vir ginia legislature. Judge Waddill states that the com plainant does not seem to have sus tained any loss up to the present time by reason of the movement to consoli date, and' is likely to sustain none that is irremediable in the f uture, and that his claim does not warrant so extra ordinary a proceeding as an injunc tion. He therefore refuses to issue it An appeal in the case of Ryan against the .Raleigh Gaston Rail road. from the United -States Circuit Court of North Carolina has been filed in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, herej and will be heard at May term. Ryan Not Done with It Norfolk, Va,, TTab. 10. William L. Ma-rbury, of Baltimore, and !D. Law reuce Groner, of Norfolk, the only two of Thomas F. Byan s counsel present in court when the opinion of Judge Waddill deaiying a temporary restrain ing order was read, were seen, on their return from Richmond this afternoon and were asked whether the apparent ly adverse decision of the court would deter Jtyan from further efforts to block the .Seaboard reorganization "By no means," replied 3Ir. Mar bury. "We do not consider the de cision of the court delivered today as deciding? any vital question's in the case, and until they are declared we are unable to se that our case has lost in strength. It must not 'be foi gotten that the two previous hearings, including the one on which the opinion today is based, were essentially pre liminary din . their -bearings, and the court's opinion largely rests upon these facts. We deny that the iSeaboaru has any right to consolidate, for vari ous reasons fully set out in the case. .Not one of the questions raised has yet been finally passed noon even by the lower court, and until the "testi mony has been taken ,they will not be. A favorable decision on any one of the points raised" will completely prevent any , consolidation so far as the Sea board road is concerned." The case will be pushed as rapidly as possibtej .Mr. Marbury, said.- MOLINEUX MUST DIE Jury Fincis Him Guilty in the First Degree. PRISONER DID NOT FLINCH Impressive Scene When the Verdict Waa Rendered ITIollneux Wanted Sentence Pronounced Immediately One of the Jurors in Tears Wife and Mother Not Present The Longest murder Trial on Record ' New York, Feb. 10 After seven hours and a half of deliberation, dur ing which they carefully studied the handwriting- evidence, the EMolineux jury found him guilty at 10:45 tonight! iMolineux took the blow without flinch ing. His father took it like an old soldier. The mother and wife of the prisoner, were not present. At the close Recorder Goff departed from the usual procedure on the side of mercy and permitted itihe father to follow the son to his cell. It was the most impressive scene, perhaps, in the history of criminal procedure of the present time, coming as i t did a t the end of the longes t and most .bitterly fought murder trial on record, 'when the foreman of the jury, turning in Ms place to look the de fendant in the face, said slowly and with great distinctness in every word: 'Ye rmd him guilty of murder in the first degree." 1 When the jurors entered (the court room their faces wore a set expression. Not one of them looked toward the prisoner and his father. When silence was established the prisoner was brought in. He walked rapidly to the chair between his father and Counsel Weeks. Leanins: over, be whimpered to his counsel, his eyes scanariag the jury. A f ew minuites later the . re corder entered and ordered the clerk to call the roll. The jurors answered to their names, and then the . foreman announced the verdict. Several jurors dropped glances as they met the eyes of the prisoner, and one of the jurors eyes were full of tears. Molineux's counsel askedthait the jury be polled, which wasjdone. The recorder then asked Weeks If he hadfeny requests to make in the matter of passing of sen tence. Molineux, who 'had resumed his seat, leaned over and whispered eagerly to Weeks: "Ask him to sentence me to death immediately." . Weeks shook Ms head and said -to the court: "Any day your honor sets is satisfactory." The recorder then et"'Febraary"x6, and or dered the defendant removed.'

Washington, Feb. 10 Special. -In a brief interview this morning, Repre sentative Kinttz of North Carolina said ihat in hU opinion the Hay Pauncefote treaty ought not to be rati-. fied bv the Senate, and f urther that if ratified by the Senate the House; ought not and "would not vote an appropria tion for, building the Nicaragua Canal under its: pro visions. Mr. Kluttz is heartily in favor of the canal as a great outlet for Southern productions, both agricultural and manufactured, but in his opinion the canal, when built, should be absolutely, under the control of this country, with full right to fortify, protect, regulate and con trol it, . f "We should have absolute right tol exclude from its advantages ships of1 hostile najtions. in case of war," htf .said. "Otherwise we will simolv brf putting up money to build a canal fori the benefit of foreign and possiblyj hostile nations without: ability to -pro tect it or adjacent waters; and in case of war with any European power we would be simply furnishing it witbj shorter highway for reaching and at tacking our Pacific coast and island possessions. "The treaty is the worst; diplomatic blunder in all our history. It practically abrogates the Monroef doctrine, acknowledges the .defunct: Clayton-Bulwer treaty and nullifies the patriotic action of previous admin istrations. and is generally nn-American, nn-Democratic and un-Republi can." - Mr. KIutt2 does not believe the ad ministration can force its passage. .

IHe favored the-double standard and said the vast majority of the people were bimetallists. He declared that 'luonrimeta'liista wants, to curtail the money of the world, there by inflicting suffering and dis- '. tress on millions of God's poor people while they grew fat. Mr. Chil ton declared that the hill was framed solely in the interest of national banks. Mr. Money predicted that if gold increased at the rates it had during the past five years bimetallists would be asking for demonjetiizatlon of gold and remonetization of silver. Mr. Allen presented a resolution of sympathy, for the Boers and request ing the United .States to, mediate to -bring about an honorable peace. The "Senate then adjourned. FIGHT AT CONEY ISLAND.
