A EEPUBLICAN MANOEVEE. 1 . Feankfoet, Ky., Feb. 3,--Chair-man John Barrtett, of the Republfcan joint caucus, has issued a call for a session of the caucus at the court house in London, Monday, u 4 p. m. This is taken to indicate that there will be an attempt made to organize the legislature and elect new officers. To make a quorum it will be neces sary for the troops to arrest and take to London enough of of the demo crats for that p.u rpose. There was a general exodus of Republican repjesenatives and Sena tors today in the direction of London. Many members have been leaving by twos and threes for the last two days going to their homes and intending to go from there to London, - but today there was a concerted move ment, and all of those who had been left behind, about fifteen; started on the morning train. , For the time being Taylor will not go to London. , ; : - r; - , ' ' V BLACKBUEN IN FRANKFOET." ' United States Senator-elect Black burn . arrived Jn Frankfort ; from Washington this morning to. hold a conference- with the Democratic leaders and to advise with them in j regard to the probable effec of the attitude of, the administration to ward ' Go y er nni . r Taylor. Senator Blackbnrn was met at the station by; Colonel Jack Chinm Speaker South Trimble, of the House, and another prominent Democrat; and en arriyal at the Capital Hotel immediately held a consultation with ex-Congress man Hendricks. Lietenant Governor Beckham, J Aiidrew Scott, T J. VA. Pryor, Attorney McQuown, Repres enative Cantrill, G. W Hickman and Syeaker Trimble ' c determination of the administra? tion not to interfere with the course of events at Frankfort until actually necessary as ; shown -v by yesterday's cabinet meeting and Senator Black burn's interview, with the President, was evidently r gratifying to -the Democratic leaders.' .INDIGNANT . AND ANGRY. T : " -' England Demands : Prompt and iatnotio Actions. - TIRED - OF . WORDY pEBATE Main.Oampaign Under i Kitchener May Take the Shape of an: Inva Bion; : London, Feb. v 4." The war - of politics for the moment commands morel attention - that the ; military development in the South v African struggles. Parliamen t met Tuesday to face the darkest: situation that has confronted England since-early in . the . century, and " the country waited, the ' keenest . eagerness and anxiety : for great patriotic declara tions from 7 British statesmen iii which there should ring out ah spiring, self reliant purpose to redeem A the prestige of the British empires arid enhance, its' splendor. Instead the country has" listened' for four days to a partisan , debate in which excuses, explanations, pettyifoggyirig criticism and recrimination have been the principal features: ; ; ' It is not enough to say Hhat Eng- land is disgusted. ' She is indignant and angiy. There- 3hould . be no mistaking the temper of the British public. It is almost true that there are no conservatives ' and.no liberals . left in the country except ihPaVlia ment The nation is composed jof Englishmen whose sole political aim and creed is' the 5 restorations of the British empire, to the position it oc-; cupied in the world six months ago. ; To-this end it demands practical and genuine co-operaticn of both parties, and the effect of the futile waste Jof words duiing the past four days j i3 already shaping itself into a demand for the formation of a colition cabi- , net which will include! exrPremler ; Roseberryj George Wyndham, the present parliamentary - under- secre ; tary. for war; , William '.Brodick, present nnqer secretary, tor toreign affairs;- Hon.

Letters! from Laffan's corre spondents with;Buller and Methuen reached -London .t: today. All were unsealed and marked "Open under martial law.'' They are not hopeful in tone. v- The general public expects soon to hear of a fresn move .by General Buller. But military apthorities think, from the nature of the situa- tion,that this is ardly possible for some time. An impression has been created in certain;quarters ; that the main campaign under Kitchener may take the form of an invasion i of Orange Free State with Methuen's force as a nucleus and Modder, river as a advance base " The Appetite of a Goat r Is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose stomach and liver are out of order. All such Should know? that Dr. King's New Life Pills, the won derful stomach and liver . remedy, gives a , splendid appetite, sound digestion and a regularbbdily habit that insures perfect health and grcr t energy .
