Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 13. Yesterday
was another day of unbroken calm
in Frankfort. The republican mem
bers of the legislature met at noon
and after appointing committees to
inform (!ov. Taylor that pursuant to
tho term of his proclamation adjourn
ing the legislature at Loudon and call
ing It to Frankfort they had come to
this city and were prepared to trans
act such business as might come be
fore, them. Tho governor acknowl
edged the messages and both hoiwcs
adjourned until to-day. There were
nine members in the senate and 28 in
tho house.
Tho committee which was expected
to couio from the democrat ie mem
bers at Louisville to report whether
it is safe for them to come to Frank
fort did not put in an appearance
during the day. Tho republican lead
ers say that they expect nothing new
to transpire after Judge Tuft in Cin
cinnati has rendered his decision on
Wednesday.
At one time yesterday Gov. Taylor
decided to order away all of tho sol
diers now here, with the. exception of
a few for a personal body guard. Ho
sent for Col. Williams and gave the
orders for tho moving of thu troops,
Uut several of his friends urged so
strongly that the soldiers be permit
ted to remain that Gov. Taylor
changed his intention and said that
for the present at least he would not
have any more of them returned to
their homes.
Late yesterday afternoon the de
tectives working upon tlio Goebel as
sassination discovered a bullet im
bedded in one of tho trees in the
south side of the capitol square. It
struck tho tree about 20 inches from
the ground and almost on a line from
the executive building and the spot
where Goebel (ell. A block of wood
containing tlio bullet was cut from
the tree and is in the possession of
the prosecuting attorney.
Dcinoo.nl Mapplnc Out l'l.um.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 13. The efforts
of the democratic lawyers were di
rected yesterday toward mapping out
plans to secure the adjudication of
the claims of Taylor and lleokliam
to the ofllco of governor. There is
(lunger of a clash as long as the pros-
cut positions are maintained. Judge
Trvor believes the in Junction suit now
,, ,.fnl. r,i,. fun trill nt i
pendng befoic Judge Cunt,riJJ7 at j
Frankfort, will bo useless aS jar us i
determining the main issue is con
cerned, because its object was to pre
vent Gov. Taylor from -interfering
with the legislature or adjourning it
to London. A new start must be had
and this will probably be by a suit
at law in behalf of llcckhnm, to estab
lish the legality of the action of the
legislature in declaring him elected
and to secure possession of the ofllce,
or by a petition in equity to restrain
Taylor from exercising the duties
of the. otlh.'Q. of governor. It is
thought such n enpe will be begun be
fore the end of tho Week. The dem
ocrats will eonllne their efforts to
tho state courts, their contention be
ing that leiiorai courts nave no ju
risdiction in the case. Tlio republi
cans, either by appeal or original
proceedings before Judge Tuft, will
endeavor to get their claims before
the federal courts, but their course
will depend largely upon that adopt
ed by the democrats.
ArirnniKiii on tlm Injunction.
Cincinnati, Fob. 13. In the United
States circuit court of appeals Judge
W. IT. Tuft heard arguments yester
day afternoon for over three hours on
the applications for injunctions
against the Kentucky state board of
election commissioners and the con
testants for the state oillees other
than governor and lieutenant gov
ernor. The large court room was un
able to hold all who came to the fed
eral building for admission. Many of
the visitors were from the Kentucky
side, notably the plaintiffs against
tho state board who are citizens of
Covington. Tho republican state olll
cers were also present, but the only
one of the defendants in attendance
was Judge Poyntz, of tlm state board.
There were quite a number present
from Frankfort and Louisville. After
tho conclusion of the arguments Judge
Tuft advised tho counsel that lie
would announce his decision so far as
tho court having jurisdiction in the
cases are concerned at two p. m.
Wednesday next.

Tlicro was a somewhat lively tilt In
tho Honato on tho Tlh between Senator
Dopow (N. Y.) ami Snator l'ottlfjrow
(H. I).). Tho former read a letter from
President Ucliurinan. of tho Philippine
coinmlufllon, flatly contradicting Homo ol
tlm statements inailo by tho senator for
South Dakota, ami made caustic com
ments on Introducing the evidence of
such men iib Dewey and Schurman
through tho statements of Agulnaldo.
Senator Pettlgrew replied sharply and
reiterated his Btatements which had
called forth denials from both Schur
man and Dewey. The Ilnanclal bill was
then taken up, all the speeches being
mado against tho measure. Senator Pen
roHo (Pa.) Introduced a bill to publish
tho proceedings of the CI. A. It. encamp
ment as a government document The
hoiiMo pasHed the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill. It carries $.'J,7l3,Mi. Mr.
McClcllan (N. Y.) Introduced a bill for
tho acquirement by tho government of
tho I2rlo canal and Its enlargement to
tt capacity suillclent for tho largest war
vessels at a cost not exceeding 575,000,000.
In tho senate on the 8th Senator Allen
(Neb.) concluded IiIh speech on tho Ilnan
clal bill, llo charged republicans with
breaking faith with the people on bimet
allism. Senator Cockrell (Mo.) also spoke
on tho measure and said that tho senate
substitute contained tho Initial move
ment toward the perpetuation of tho na
tional debt. Senator Nelson (Minn.) was
authorl.cd to report his substttuto for
the bill providing for a department of
commerce with a cabinet olllcor....The
Iiouho was In Besslon an hour and a half
and only minor business was transacted.
Mr. MIers (Ind.) Introduced a resolution
to set aside February 1" for the consid
eration of private pension blllB.
As nobody was prepared to proceed
with a dlHciiBslon of the llnanco measure
In tho senate on the lith, only routine
business wns transacted and an early
adjournment wos taken to enablo mem-,
hers to attend tho obsequies of Gen. Law
ton. Senator Depew (N. Y.) Introduced
a bill granting to tho public land states
a percentage of the proceeds of tho sales
of public lands for tho encouragement
of the mining Interests.... Very llttlo bus
iness was done In tho day meeting ol
tho house. Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) Introduced
a resolution for enacting tho Nicaragua
canal bill Into law regardless of the
Hay-Pauncefortc treaty, because the lat
ter contravened tho Monroe doctrine.
There was a scene at tho night session,
Mr. Talbert (S. C ) rushed down the
nlflle brandishing his arms and shouting
tor recognition. When ho was recog
nized he explained why ho Insisted on a
quorum being present when passing pen
sion bills and suggested setting apart n
day each month and discontinuing the
night sessions. Thlrty-flvo pension bills
were favorably acted upon.
The Ilnanclal debate In tho scnato was
continued on the 10th by Senator Chandler
(N II.), who opposed tho gold standard
and strongly urged tho double standard.
Senator Chilton (Tex.) and Senator Money
(Miss.) also spoke. Senator Allen (Neb.)
offered a resolution expressing sympa
thy with tho Uocrs In their struggle
ngolnst Great Britain ami urging medi
ation on the part of tho United States.
It was adopted. Senator Allen afterwards
agreed to let tho vote bo reconsidered
and tho resolution went over.... Little
business of importance was done in the
house. A bill was introduced to amend

NngliK'tril IlafOcUi",
St. Botolph's church, Aldersgate,
boasts among its clergymen a humor
ist of no mean order. In the monthly
circular issued to parishioners he
writes. "One of our hymns says that
'Satan trembles when he sees the
weakest saint upon his knees.' We
fear there is a small chance of Satan,
or any one else seeing a certain por
tion of our congregation on their
knees, as they prefer to sit rather
than kneel in prayer time. Except
for aged people or invalids, there is
no excuse for this lazy habit. We will
endeavor to supply some new has
socks with 'Kneel to Tray,' written
on them, and trust that the hint will
not be thrown away." Hut the rev
erend gentleman quite mistakes the
reason of the disinclination of men to
kneel in church. If he wishes to
remove it he should supply not new
hassocks, but new trousers. The hard
substances provided in most churches
as kneeling boards simply mean ruin
to a pair of well cut pants, and in
these days of keen competition city
men do not care about appearing with
baggy knees when such a contingency
can be avoided by a slight change ol
position, which need not affect the
spirit of devotion. This is the real
reason why hassocks are neglected.

London, Feb. 13. Lord Kobcrts
has gathered 33,000 men, with whom,
according to the best military opin
ion in London, ho purposes turning
tho left of the Magersfontein lines
near Jacobsdal, entering tlio Free
State, compelling Gen. Cronje to raise
the siege of Kimberley and thus mak
ing his first step toward Hloeinfoii
tein. Yesterday Lord Jtoberts announced
tlio appointment of Gen. Sir Henry
Colville, hitherto commander of the
guards brigade, to the command of
the Ninth division, which is being
formed and will consist probably to
a great extent of colonial troops.
Gen. Colville will be succeeded by Gen.
lleginald Pole-Carew.
Lord Roberts tells the correspond
ents that when he gets down to busi
ness they shall have ample opportuni
ties to send news. His chief press
censor yesterday issued new rules and
in future all written communications
are to go unchecked. Only telegrams
will be censored. For the next few
days little news is likely to get
through, but later there will be more
freedom. Thus says the censor and
the last clause, may be. interpreted to
mean that something is about to hap
pen. Kimberley, 20 miles away from the
Modder river position, is in sore
straits. Details of tho December
death rate show that in a population
of 11,000 whites and 19,000 blacks the
mortality was GO whites and 138
blacks per 1,000. The infantile death
rate was 071 per 1,000 among the
whites and 912 per 1,000 among the
blacks. Enteric fever was prevalent.
Meanwhile tho bombardment by the
Uocrs has increased and there is im
minent danger of the town falling
under the very eyes of Lord Hobcrts.
It is believed in circles close to the
war ofiice that he will move at once.
Scouts have approached within 1,000
yards of the Hocr entrenchments at.
Magersfontein. They have found
these strong and ascertained that
they are used as dwelling places.
Naval gunners arc constantly watch

glasses and they declare that there is
an appreciable diminution in the Uoer

transport organization is complete,
and says: "It is probable, therefore,
that the transport is now ready and

telegraphing yesterday, says: A dis
patch from Kshowe asserts that a
large commando of Uocrs is en
camped near Ngutu, with SO wagons
and nine guns. It is rumored that
this force intends to besiege Fshowe,
the intention probably being to forti
