An attempt to hold up a south-bound

mile north of Terry, Okl. Some one
pulled the bell cord and the train was

Spain has nobly vindicated In honor

Spain means, that Is to say, to make

"From tho frying pan Into tho lire" is
one of Spain's own proverbs, which

The Puerto Rlean problem presents
some dllllculties. Under the colonial
system of Spain, tho Islanders enjoyed
certain commercial privileges, in send
ing their products to Spanish markets.
which they have now lost without re
ceiving any compensating advantage
from tholr connection with this coun
try. The result has been great pov
erty nnil distress. If the products or
Puerto Rico were to be admitted to
our great markets fiee of duty, U
would please tho Islanders, but dis
please many of the tobacco and tho
sugar-raisers who are afraid of this
competition. In these circumstances
tho proposal has been made In Con
gress to levy upon Puerto Rico goods
one-half of the regular rates of duty.
Whether Congress has a right to levy
upon them any duty Is a much disputed
constitutional ipiestlon.

The London Dally Chronicle lias pub
lished a long disquisition upon South
African affairs from S. ). Conwright
Schrelner, who advocates peace over
tures to Great Itritaiu. llo says:
'I am convinced that if the two re
publics had a sullleleut guarantee that
their Independence would borcrpootcd.
the Transvaal would grant a five year
retrospective franchise, tho burghers
would retire to tlielrown countries and
the war would cease immediately."
These views, coming from n kins
man of W. I'. Schrelner, the Capo
premier, will probably excite much
comment. Mr. Conwright-Sohroluer
points out that tlie Dutch outnumber
the English colonists, and that if local
self-government continue to exist it
"ill lie in the control of a large and
exasperated anti-llritish majority firm
ly imbued with the conviction that the
war was forced on the lloors.

ever, as an excellent stimulant and
norvo tonic. "It Is pre-omlnetitly a
temperance drink," ho says, "and tho

helping to popularize It. Yerba mate,

Lord Roberts has gathered 3.1,000 men,

turning the left of the Magersfonteln
lines near .laeobsdal. entering the Free
State, compelling Gen. Cronje to raise
tho siege of Kimberley and thus make
his llrst step to Rloenifontein.
Yesterday Lord Roberts announced
the appointment of General Sir Henry
Colvillo, hitherto commander of tho
guards brigade, to the command of the
Ninth division, which is being formed,
nnd will consist, probably, to a great
extent of colonial troops. General Col
villo will be succeeded by Gi neral Reg
nald PolO'Carew.
Lord Roberts tells correspondents
that when ho gets down to business
they shall have ample opporl unity to
send the 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 tho next few clays
little news is likely to get through, but
later there will bo more freedom. Thus
says the censor, nnd the clause may be
interpreted to mean that something is
about to happen.
HE ABSOLUTELY REFUSES
Governor Taylor Will Not Sign the
Louisville Agreement,
"After mature deliberation and con
ference with my friends from every
section of the state I have concluded
to allow this controversy to take its
due course, vigorously contesting ev
ery inch of ground and upholding tho
rights of the people to the uttermost.
If those rights be. destroyed, tho re
sponsibility for thnt destruction must
rest with those who sit in judgment.
"It is due to say that the eminent
gentlemen, my friends, who secured
the propositions resulting from the
Louisville conference, acted in perfect
good faith, from the highest motives
of patriotism, and did the very best
they could."
"William S. Tavi.oii,
Governor of Kentucky."
The above proclamation lias been
issued by Governor Taylor and accord
ing to ills oral statement at the time
of its issuance embodies all he desires
to ay concerning his position at the
prc-i nt time.
The decision not to sign the agree
ment was reached after lie had been in
conference for over two hours with
fully 1.10 prominent republicans from
nil over the state.
Orders wero Issued to General Collier
to prepare, for the departure of the
troops, and all have gone home with
the exception of enough to lie a peace
guard,
Word was at once sent to tho mem
bers of the republican legislature now
in session in Loudon that the next ses
sion would be held In Frankfort, and
a prompt reply was received.
The action of Governor Taylor re
turns the gubernatorial fight to the.
exact position it occupied on the day
following the Goebcl assassination,
with the additional complication Unit
there was but one legislature and one
governor in fact, whereas there are
now two claimants for the position,
and two separate bodies, each claim

"Throw up your hands, Hawkins!'"
"D d if I will," was the reply, and

The sherifT fired and Hawkins died
within a few minutes. He never ut
