TROUBLE IS AVERTED Civil War in Kentucky Is at Least Post poned for the Present. WALKER, THE STENOGRAPHER, PREE The Truce In Until After Goebel'* Funeral —Walker Not Arrested lleeause lie Served Notice of Injunction, but fo; Inciting Mutiny — No Provision for Prisoners. FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb .5.—Armed conflicts between the civil authorities of Frankfort county and the National Guard of the state of Kentucky has been averted and unless new causes should come to the front there is small likelihood that the political situation will become as threatening as it has during the last thirty-six hours. Governor Taylor this morning or dered the release of Alonzo Walker, for the possession of whom Judge Moore had declared that Sheriff Suter would swear in a posse and take possession of the capitol grounds, If such an ex treme became necessary. While not recognizing in his action the existence of the writ of habeas corpus which had been sworn out in behalf of Walker, Governor Taylor, by releasing the man, removed the most threatening sign of trouble. The commmanding officers of the troops which guard the capitol grounds are careful to say that the situation is en tirely a military affair and that they extend to the writ of habeas corpus very little consideration, but whether they regard It *’rpf* and Sheriff Suter v. !’**««t -?*sv called upon to summon force in the attempt to secure his release. The appalling consequences which would follow such an effort on the part of the sheriff were too much for the more conservative members of the democratic party, and it was decided today that no matter what Judge Moore should say as an individual there would be no attempt to take pos session of the capitol grounds by force of arms. Even if Walker had been held a much longer time than he actually was held, no effort, the democratic leaders had decided, should be made for his rescue after the writ of habeas corpus had failed. Both sides will take a rest pending the session of the republicans called by Governor Taylor at London. No democrats will attend this unless they are taken there by the military forces of the state, and no attempt v/ill be made in this direction by Governor Taylor until he has afforded them every opportunity to go to London of their own accord. What will be done when it has been made certain that the democrats will not visit London ! has not been definitely determined by Governor Taylor. It is likely that matters will on both Bides be allowed to drift until the funeral of Governor Goebel. The latter concluded that Walker had lemalned in custody for a suffi cient length of time and told him to go home. The charge of inciting mutiny has net been quashed, but Walker may not be brought before a court martial, as was at one time contem plated by the officers of the state guard. At 10 o'clock this morning Colonel Roger Williams entered the room in the executive building and remarked to Walker: “Well, Mr. Walker, we have agreed to an exchange of prison ers and you are to be given your free dom.” “I can go, can I?" asked Walker. "I guess so,” was the reply, and the colonel then added with a laugh: “We have exchanged you for one Suiu and three Filipinos, and as we expect them every minute I guess it will be all right for you to have your free dom." Walker was then allowed to go after notice had been served on him that the charge against him was still pending and could be quashed at any time if the military authorities should so de cide. He told Colonel Williams that he intended to remain in Frankfort. GOEBEL FINALLY SUCCUMBS. Pa»M Away From the A.4rus*1ii'h Bullet on Saturday K.veiling FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 5—The bullet fired by an unknown assassin last Tuesday morning ended the life ■of William Ooebel at 6:4t> o’clock Sat urday evening. The only persons present at the death bed were Mr. Goebel’s sister, Mrs., Braunasker, and his brother Artliui Goebel of Cincinnati, who have been in constant attendance at Mr. Goebel’s bedside, and Dr. McCormick. Justus Goebel, another brother who has been hurrying from Arizona, as fast as steam would carry him, in a vain hope of reaching his dying brother j in time for some token of recognition, | arrived forty minutes too late. j Oxygen was frequently administered the dying man during the afternoon in j an effort to keep him a'ive until his | brother’s arrival, but in vain. For. by the cruel irony of fate, the train on which Justus Goebel was traveling Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, and when M . Goebel finally reached here, it was only to learn that his brother was dead. Among bitter partisans of both par ties deep grief is manifested and a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument for Mr. Goebel’s memeory on the spot in the state house grounds where he was shot. Knsolution* at Lexington. LEXINGTON. Ky.. Feb. 5.—The city officials met tonight and passed reso lutions of respect to Senator Goebel. The resolutions condemned Governor Taylor, the newspapers and preachers as those that created . io feeling that culminated in the assassinattion of Goebel. The ‘officials are all demo crats. Many democratic legislators spent Sunday night here and left Sun day morning early for Cincinnati. They held a conference at the Phoe nix hotel. None would talk of their movements. TWO BEREAVED WOMEN MEET. Mrs. Logan anil Mr. Lawton, Overcome by Emotion*, Faint. CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—The funeral train bearing the bodies of Major Gen eral Henry W. Lawton, Major John A. Logan and Major E. L. Armstrong ar rived at the Chicago & Northwestern depot at 9 o'clock tonight, fourteen hours ahead of time. Awaiting the train were Mrs. John A. Logan, Major Logan’s mother; Charles E. Wilson, secretary of Governor Mount of In diana. representing the state in receiv ing General Lawton’s body, and sev eral local committees. When the train stopped Mrs. Logan, followed by the escort of sixteen men from the Seventeenth Illinois infantry was one of the first to mount the steps of the sle ping car, in which was the widow of General Lawton, with Major General Shafter and his staff. Mrs. Lawton was comforting her young son, Manley, when Mrs. Logan appeared. There was a moment of si lence and suspense. Then the two bereaved women, overcome by emo tion, embraced, and mingled their tears. Finally Mrs. Logan said: “My dear child, my woe is yours; we have given that which we loved best to our country. God is the judge, and before Him we must bow and say: ‘Thy will be done.’ ” Mrs. Lawton was unable to speak. She was violently shaken by her grief, and as the two women wept together their emotions proved too strong, and they fainted simultaneously. Captain King and his orderly resuscitated them. MILLIONS GO UP IN SMOKE. St* J*otii»i Lor6h Some of ltd Lurgetit Stores by Fire. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 5.—Property of the estimated value of $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 was burned today, the greater part of four blocks of build ings and their contents, between Third and Sixth streets and Franklin avenue and Morgan street, in the heart of the retail section, being destroyed. One fireman was killed, nine other members of the fire department were injured *more or less seriously and five or six citizens slightly hurt. Definite figures of losses are exceed ingly hard to obtain. The fact that it was Sunday, and that neither proprie tors nor insurance adjusters were at their places of business, contributed much to this. Few proprietors or own ers could be found and those who were, declared their inability to give definite information. There were six retail concerns which were heavy losers. The balance of the loss is di vided in varying proportions among a score or more small shopkeepers or firms. FOR THE FUNERAL OF GOEBEL Arrangement* by Senator IJIackburn ami Other Democratic Lender*. FRANKFORT, Ky„ Feb. 5— It has practically been decided that the re mains of Governor William Goebel will be buried in Frankfort in the cemetery overlooking the Kentucky river, where lie the remains of Daniel Booone and several Kentucky governors, eminent jurists and soldiers. Arthur and Jus tus Goebel, Senator-elect Joseph Black burn, S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals, and Warden Lilard visited the cemetery today and spent some time in looking over the ground with a view to selecting a suitable spot for the last resting place of Goe bel. Though no definite decision was reached, a spot in the vicinity of the immense shaft erected in honor of Kentucky's dead soldiers, nearly the highest point in the beautiful cemetery was favored, and will probably finally be selected. CROSSES THE T1JGELA. Duller U»e* Over tlie Tugela Again to Attempt to lielieve Ladysmith. LONDON, Feb. 5.—(New York World Cablegram.)—News agencies under Durban date declare the British crossed the Tugela at fords west of Trichard's drift late Friday night, and also report that the owner of Spionkop farm is a refugee now acting as guide to Buller. Durban advices declare there is no doubt that Bitller’s force has crossed, but know not the exact location and say that no reports will be allowed to be sent to London until Ladysmith is relieved. Silent at the War Ofllre. LONDON, Feb. 5.—The war office is silent as regards General Bnller, but there Is every reason to believe he is continuing his movement upon Lady smith. Those who are in a position to know confirm his reported recross ing of the Tugela river and believe he was engaged yesterday. The message from Ladysmith Thursday saying the Boer forces were leaving again and that the besieging force was consider ably diminished tends to confirm this. Field Marshal Lord Roberts has no tified the war office that forty High landers, who were previously reported killel at Magersfontein, are prisoners at Pretoria. Kenews Morin* Vivendi. ST. JOHN S N. F., Feb. 5.—In refer ence to the desire of the British gov ernment the Newfoundland legislature will meet in special session during February to renew the French modus vivendi respecting the treaty shore. The session will probably occupy one day, as the country is unanimous in supporting such a proposal. The reg ular session of the .egislature for gen eral business will be convened about the middle of April. Northern Paelltc Ilnys a lirauch. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—It is an nounced in Wall street that the North ern Pacific railway company has pur chased the western section of the Ev erett & Monte Cristo railroad, with its terminals at Everett, Wash. The property was formerly owned by John D. Rockefeller. The line extends from Snohomish to Everett, a distance of eleven miles, and the terminals, which the Northen Pacifis will utilize in the development of ,its business, are ex tensive and valuable. Conditions in Kentucky Are Nearing a Conflict of Armed Forces. BEGINNING Of CRISIS IS AT HAND Democratic Adjutant General May Or* ganl/.e Militia of His Own—Ueckham to Act as Governor—Regular State Troops Hold Frankfort Under Orders of Taylor's Appointee. FRANKFORT, Ky.. Feb. 3—The first clash between the legislative and judiciary powers of the state occurred today. A still greater clash Is immi nent tomorrow and beyond the possi bilities of tomorrow lies a sea with skies so lowering and of so stormy an aspect that no politician of either party can predict where it will carry the Kentucky ship of state. There is the chance that things will, as Congressman June Gayle expresses it, “drift around all right,” but there are other chances, also, and if things are to “drift around all right,” they must strike a counter current and strike it soon. There can no longer be any conceal ment of the fact that affairs in this state are bordering on conflict in arms and the beginning of the crisis is at hand. It may be that the political difficulties will be settled by courts of law, but the hearts of men are hot in Kentucky now and legal process may provide a remedy too dilatory to please a few of the more impatient and it is in the power of these to create a world of woe at almost any time. The clash of today came when an of ficer of the circuit court of Franklin county was arrested by the militia, while attempting to serve a notice of legal proceeding on Governor Taylor. The clash of tomorrow may come when the officers of that court attempt to enforce the ruling of its presiding judge. Behind this judge the demo crats will have tomorrow for the first time an active executive head in the person of Acting Governor Beckham and, from the democratic standpoint, a regularly appointed adjutant general whose order the troops now encamped around the capitol building are bound to obey. It they decline to obey the new adjutant general, the democrats claim, he will have power to organize military forces of his own and proceed against all people who defy the au thority of his office and that of the governor of the state which lie repre sents. On the other hand, the republicans are fixed in their attitude that there is an insurrection in the state, that Beckham and his actions, his adju tant general and his orders are those of the people acting in opposition to law. They believe that they alone are in the right and as there can be but one right and all else wrong, those who show resistance to the proclama tions of Governor Taylor are in rebel lion against the commonwealth. They will resist all attempt of any kind to remove them from their position around the capitol, resisting force with force, and that means civil war. Alonzo Walker, a stenographer em ployed by the democratic attorneys, was placed under arrest today in the capitol ground charged with conduct tending to incite mutiny and riot. The conduct consisted of pinning to the door of the private office of Gov ernor Taylor a notice that tomorrow morning the democratic attorneys would appear before Judge Cantrell of the circuit court and ask for an in junction restraining Governor Taylor from all interference with the move ments of the legislature, and from his anouneed intention to move it to Lon don. Walker was at once taken into custody by order of Colonel Roger Williams, the commanding officer of the forces now gathered around the capitol. BLINDER ON A BOER PORTRESS. English Troops Have a Narrow Escape From Annihilation. LOURENZO MARQUEZAS, Feb. 3.— The following, dated Gaberones, Jan uary 20, has been received here: “A Boer scout was captured yes terday by Colonel Plumer’s outposts and a small party was sent out to re connoiter certain halls. They ascend ed the wrong kopje and blundered up on a Boer fortress, armed with a Max im. Fortunately they managed to es cape without casualties. A later dispatch from Gaberones, dated January 26, says: •‘Colonel Plumer used his twelve and a half pounder on the Boer position for the first time today. The Boers responded spiritedly, and accurately, but did no damage.” ENGLAND CALLS HER LAST MAN Militia Bttllot Act to Send Lord Kobctts 00,000 Additional Mm. LONDON, Feb. 3. — Sensational rumors are current that the militia ballot act would be put in force Febru ary 14, and that General Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the Britisn forces in South Africa, has cabled for 90,000 additional men, which, it is ad ded, the government has promised :o give him, sending 5u,000 militia and volunteers and 40,000 militia reserves. It is also said that the volunteers will be mobilized forthwith. It is eve a asserted today that the cabinet lm^ specially dealt with these matters. The militia ballot act makes even unmarried man between 18 and 80 years of age liable to serve for five years. More T<-omanry <;o. LONDON, Feb. 3.—This morning a* the Life Guard's barracks, Regent'; Park, the Prince of Wales inspected another contingent of Yeomanry and Honorable Artillery company volun teers, prior to its departure from Lon don to embark for South Africa. Th. spectators included Lord Mayor New ton. a number of city dignitaries, army officers and many ladies. The Princes of Wales made a speech to th& men in the same vein as his adress to the first contingent of Yeo manry at their departure from Lon don Friday iast. i WILL LET THEM EIG1T IT OUT.* Federal Government Has no Intention of Interfering in Kentucky Affairs. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2—No call for federal troops has yet been received from Kentucky. Moreover, the officials of the War department see no reason to expect an application at this time certainly and probably not at all. The official view is that the present con test in Kentucky is purely a state matter, and up to this moment it has presented no features that would war rant the intervention of the United States government. The exact funct ions of the United States army when acting within a state have been most carefully defined and set out in gen eral order No. 26, promulgated July 24, 1894. Under the terms of this order the government of the United States can of its own volition use the federal troops within a state only when “in surrection, domestic violence, unlawful combinations or conspiracies in any state so obstructs or hinders the exe cution of the laws thereof and of the United States as to deprive any por tion or class of the people of such state of any of the rights, privileges or immunities, or protection, named in the constitution, and secured by the laws for the protection of such rights, privileges or immunities, and the con stituted authorities of such state are unable to protect or from any cause fail in or refuse protection of the peo ple in such rights.” It does not appear to the officials here that the conditions described in this statute now exist in Kentcky. Another case in which the United States troops might be employed is set out in section No. 5297, Revised Statutes, authorizing the president to employ troops in case of an insurrect ion in any state against the govern ment thereof “on application of the legislature of such state or of the exe cutive thereof, when the legislature cannot be convened.” it win 1)3 noticed in the cases above cited in which troops may be employed the president is allowed to exercise his discretion in meeting the request; it is not mandatory upon him to accede to it. Were this not the case, upon the president after all might be placed the responsibility for a decision be tween the rival claimants for the Ken tucky governorship. Assuming that the legislature has been legally ad journed by Governor Taylor and that it cannot be reconvened before the date specified in his proclamation, either of the persons claiming to be governor of Kentucky might call upon the president for troops and thus oblige him to decide the issue, had he not the reserved right to decline to meet either request. A like situation might arise, should two legislatures be organized, a contingency which is look ed upon as extremely probable by the officials here. So it may be stated that the posi tion of the administration in its decis ion to refrain from intervention in Kentucky remains unshaken by any of the events of the last twenty-four hours, and in all likelihood the only happening which could induce the ordering of troops into the state would be an assault upon United States prop erty and courts or mails, and inter state commerce, and even in such case, it is privately declared on the highest military authority, that the troops would not be used to further any in terests in the state or to meddle in its politics or for any other purpose than the defense of the United States’ interests. AGREE ON BIG APPROPRIATION BILL House Committee Favors *1,740.470 for Diplomatic Service. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The diplo matic and consular appropriation bill was finally agreed on by the house committee on foreign affairs today. It carries a total of $1,740,476, as against $1,711,533 last year and $1,895,848 esti mated by the state department. The $6,000 heretoiore required for United States’ participation in the tri partite government of Samoa is dropped, owing to the partition of the islands. The $3,000 for reports of the intercontinental railway project also is omitted, as the work has been wound up. Taylor Demands Recognition. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—President McKinley has received a long message from Governor W. S. Taylor of Ken tucky, dated today, at Frankfort. Governor Taylor recites at length the situation in Kentucky; declares that he considers himself the legally elected executive of the state and as serts that the condition of affairs at the present time is most critical. He says that a riot may occur at any time which will cause much bloodshed. Governor Taylor says tnat he is doubt ful of his power to control the situ ation and appeals to the president to end the matter and secure peace in the state by recognizing him as the gov ernor of Kentucky The appeal is very earnest and the aid of the administration is urgently requested. Henry Watterson Speak*. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 2—Henry Wat terson, editor of the Louisville Cour ier Journal, was at the union depot today on his way home to Louisville from a lecture tour in the west, in an interview he said of the situation in Kentucky: “It surprises no one in Kentucky. It is a logical consequence of a cam paign of corruption and debauchery. In a word, from first to last, the dem ocrats have had to meet the money of the railroads and the threats of the republicans, organized for armed vio lence. at every term, and now these things culminate in assassination.” liutlcr Kraignt-d for Politico. LONDON, Feb. 2.—In the house of lords today the secretary of state for war, the Marquis of Lansdowne, said he desired to formally announce that Lieutenant General Sir William Fran cis Butler resigned command of the British forces in South Africa because of a political divergence of opinion with Sir Alfred Milner, the British high commissioner and the governor of Cape Colony, which was so high that he con cluded his command of the forces in Sou'h Africa would become a source of embarrassment to the high commis sioner.
