I see It. I am backed by tbe Consiltutlou
I understand a board of arbitration may
be formed by both . si Jes to arrange a
settlement of the case. , While I did not
originate the plan of this cnferenoe I
sanction anything to bring order out of
chaos and effect a Just settlement of . the
office. Several of tha legislators now at
Cincinnati wanted to coma here to at
tend Goebers funeral but afraid they
would be arrested and taken to London. I
Immediately wired that I would do all In
my power to prevent arrest Oa this" oc
casion.' The LegislatUi-e now In session
will not be dictated to by me. They will
manage their own affairs and may arrest
absent members If a quorum Is not pres
ent; It Is not in my pewur to order ar
rwts. '
' l am open lo negotiations for a peace
ful settlement. I hear that a movement
is on foot in LouUvilie to send a regl
ment here to lake caarge of things'. If
this Is done we will meet, force with

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
no Call From Kentucky For Troops Will
' be Noticed Except From the
, -1 Legislature.
: WasnnoTOK, Feb. 6 The attitude
taken by Ibe President towards the Ken
tucky political sltualloa Is pleasing to all
Senators and Representatives, with the
possible exception of a few radicals whs
believe, or at least claim to believe, that
one of the proper functions of the Fed
eral government, I to straighten out
every political rumpus that happens to
be kicked up In any of lbs 8tates. The
President and hit Cabinet are unanimous
in their belief that la the State court la
the proper place to settle the disputed
Kentucky question.
As long ss there is any semblance of
law and rder maintained In Kentucky,
there li not the slightest probability that
any oflldal action will be taken by Die
Feilural government, nd if Federal
trorp should actually bo needed to step
rioting, th a loitj-duture, and not one of
: the rlvnl governor, will hsve to Ask for

A despatch from Nasurport has been

; Lohdos, February 5. Secretary
Chamberlain la th House of Commons
today declared that England's policy in
the war In South Africa will be to so
crush th Boers that. England's supre
macy will never again be threatened by
them. , ''
. The debate was opened by Harcourt
who sharply criticised the government
for reversing Its policy and plunging
the country into an unjustifiable war.
v Chamberlain admitted that mistakes
bad been made but the government had
honestly hoped that -a settlement could
be made unlil the last minute. These
mistakes are being rectified.
' The country will soon have two hun
dred thousand men of all arms in the
field Including as many mounted infan
try as the Boers bad.
Chamberlain said that the Colonial
troops would toon be one-feurth of the
whole number, and that the government
forces would soon resume the original
plan of campaign wt leb gave every
promise of success. ', He declared that
never again would .there, be a Majoba
Hill settlement with Great Britain's
enemies in South Africa. Never again
will British supremacy be threatened,
never again would Englishmen be treat
el as an inferior race.
v Pietermsrtzburg Natal, Fob. 4. Gen
eral Buller has undoubtedly secured the
road to Ladysmltb. He should reach his
objective Ibis week.
,: General Joubert, It is stated, was seri
ously injured by a shell at the Willow
Grange fight near Estcourl, The shell
threw him from his horse. The shock,
it Is said, was so great that Joubert will
aever be able to command oa horseback
again.
An Informal truce was concluded to
enable the combatants to bury tbelr dead
at Splon kop. Although nine days hav
elapsed since the battle wag fought,
one can see parties of ibe Boers still
going about, on horseback and afoot
searching the hill under cover of the
Red Cross flag. ...Runners and deserters
state that tbe Boer losses at Splon kop
were a thousand men, and that General
Buller's artillery disabled seven of theli
guns,' -, . . ". ' .'
Lokdox,' Feb. 4. A former British
resident of South Africa said today:
"From a good sourse I learn that the
losses of the Boers have been enormous
considering their limited forces. They
hav had over 8,000 casualties. , ' -
: "These losses tbey conceal with the
utmost care front the relet Ives of the
deed. There ar thousands of letters at
tbe Boer headquarters which are un
delivered because they are addressed to
men who are no more.
