FRANKFORT , Ky. ; March 12.-The
democrats and the republicans In Ken
tucky nro today , for the first t.tno
since the present political rompUcn-
tl'-tis nhv.imrd acute faun , divided Inio
Uo armed and organized factions.
Surrounding the cnpltol and state leg
islative building and camped In the
grounds around Governor Taylor's
homo nro nearly 200 state militia , well
provided with ammunition , while in
the corridors of the Capital hotel , in
which the democratic state executive
offices are located , and In the streets
adjacent to that building , are sixty
special officers and the men and boys
of a militia company that was organ
ized In Frankfort today as the nucleus
of Governor Beckham's state guard ,
besides scores of heavily armed citi
zens , partl&ans of the democratic claim
ant.
Rumors reached the democratic lead
ers todny that an attempt was to be
made by the state militia to take Gov
ernor Ueckhnm Into custody , and in
side of nn hour after the report was
circulated a petition had been circu
lated and signed by the requisite num
ber of men necessary to form a militia
company. The men will guard the
Capital hotel all night agnliiHt any pos
sible attempt to arrest Governor Beck-
ham.
Only two days more remain for the
legislature to remain In session , but
the developments of those two days are
looked forward to with apprehension
by lenders of both aides. The demo
cratic partisans say that should the
militia attempt to Interfere with the
session of the legislature , persistent
rumors of which have been In circula
tion all day , it will bo next to Impos
sible to avert bloodshed. The repub
lican officials , howevei , deny that such
action has been even contemplated
and say that the legislature will not
bo molested In any way. That the re
port Is bellovod In democratic circles ,
however , Is shown by the fact that the
advisability of holding the session In
sonic other place than the state house
has been under advisement , and even
at a late hour tonight the question
had not been fully settled.
Several of the republican members
of the legislature left the city today ,
presumably for their homes.
LEXINGTON. Ky. , March 12. The
Sabbath day brought calm to the
storm which for three hours on Sat

Lexington ,
The adopting of a disguise by Davis
and Powers In order to get out of
Frankfort puts an ugly phase on the
matter for the prisoners , in the opinion
of Koine of their friends hero , although
they explain that they did so merely
to get nwny from the local Gocbel In
fluences , which they allege would
work to their detriment In securing a
fair trial. Both tactlly admit now
that In this they may have made mis
takes , as botli strongly urge their In
nocence of any connection with the
murder of Goebel and Insist that they
have no fear whatever as to the out
come.
Judge George Denny , a prominent
republican attorney , culled on the pris
oners today and was clouted with them
several hours. He will represent them
In whatever legal steps are taken.
Both men are very calm and have no
further statement to make than what
svaa given out hist night. Judge
Denny said tonight that the prisoners
arc not averse to going to Krnnkfort ,
but they would like to have arrange
ments made to try their cases here.
This cannot be- done , except as to a
writ of habeas corpus , which IB not
likely to lie sought In this case.

TWO HUNDRED INDIANS FALL ,
Iliiinl of tliii .Mexican Hmlli-n IIca\lly the
Yacjiil Trlliu.
AUSTIN , Tex. . March 12. A special
from Potnm , Mexico , says that during
four days , ending on Friday , the Ynqul
Indians and the Mexican troops had
four engagements near Cocorlt , Mex
ico. Thu Mexican Iroopu are endeav
oring to force their way through this
Krctlon of the country so as to keep a
roadway between Torln and that point
open for travel. There are u great
many Indians known to be In this Im
mediate section , and It Is evident that a
very strong force will have to be put
Into the Held at once to spppprcss the
uprising- .
The engagements of the four days
mentioned resulted very disastrously
for the Indians , as in the neighborhood
of 200 arc known to have been killed
nnd possibly more. The Mexican
troops suffered very little loss of life ,
though some twenty-five soldiers were
wounded. All the engagements were In
the nature of skirmishes , lasting only
a few hours , when the Indians would
retire.
The fact that the Maya Indians have
also taken to the warpath and are
Harassing the troops a great deal , gives
rise to grave surmises n to how long
It will take to bring the uprising to a
termination. It Is feared that unless
both of the factions are brought In sub
mission soon they will Join forces.
A special from Ortiz , state of Sonora -
nora , Is to the effect that on Friday re
ports reached there of a bloody skir
mish between a band of some 300 Yn-
quls nnd about an pqual number of
soldiers about fifty miles west of that
place , In which the fighting was con
tinued most of the day.
The loss among the soldiers was
Flight , owing to their splendid fortifi
cation , being ensconsed behind a nat
ural breastwork of boulders on a hlll-
nldo with the Indians In the open. It
waa a cleverly laid trap Into which the
Indians were led , and while they left
none of their bead on the field It Is
thought their loss is heavy , as quite a
number wore- seen to fall.
Reliable Information states that fully
i.iiOO Yaquls are now In the neighbor
hood of Guaymas and fully as many
more are prowling between Mednno
and Potnn.

DRIEFONTEIN , March 12. All of
yesterday was occupied lighting. The
Boers maintained a stubborn rear
guard action along a running front of
twelve miles on very difficult ground.
The British were advancing in three
columns. General Tucker , to the
southward , occupied Pctrusberg unop
posed ; General Kelly-Kenny , after fol
lowing the river bank , moved In the
direction of Abrahams kraal. At
Drlofontoln. about a mile south of
Abrahams kraal , the Boers wore found
posted In consldciable strcngtn on the
ridges connecting several kopjes ,
where they had mounted guns.
The action began at 8 o'clock In the
morning with an artillery duel. General - *
oral French's cavalry and General
Porter's brigades supported our guns.
The Boor artillery was accurately
handled and the British cavalry found
a task liarde- than they had expected.
General Broadwood with dogged per-
Fovernnco moved altogether six mlles
southward , trying to find a means to
get around , but tin- Boers followed
behind rising ground and even at
tempted to outflank him.
Meanwhile the Sixth division of in
fantry , advancing on thp Boer left ,
slowly forced the enemy to retire. Had
the Infantry been nblo to move faster
the Boers would have been enveloped.
The last shot was fired at 7:30 : p. m.
This morning not a Boer was to be
seen. The prisoners belonged to Pres
ident Kruger's own commando.

Manifested.
BERLIN , March 10. In the Reich-
ctag today during tnc discussion on
the meat bill Count von Knnitz , the
agrarian leader , observed that Amer
ica's share of the Imports of prepared
meat was only $4UuO,000 , which ho de
clared was a trifle compared with the
immense figures of America's balance
of trade. America , he added , would
surely not herself destroy her huge ex
ports to Germany on account of ex
clusion of her meat from this coun
try.
try.The
The secretary of stnto for the In
terior , Count von Posadowoky-Wehnor ,
replying to various speakers , said the
bill was a purely hygienic measure
which had been demanded by all par
ties with the solo object to protect the
health of the Germans. The govern
ment , ho added , had been formally
asked to apply the same rules of in
spection to foreign meat as to Ger
many. The committee , however , had
not gene to such a length as that. It
had admitted lard , hams , etc. . In some
cases permanently nnd In others for
stated periods. Sausages , it Is true ,
sometimes contained horrible Ingredi
ents , but what justified unequal treat
ment of bacon nnd salted pork ?
The secretary of state declared the
debate had taken a turn from which it
might be Imagined that they were dis
cussing not a bill for the protection of
the German people , but the Introduc
tion of a now customs tariff.
The whole controversy has occa
sioned during the last few days consid
erable strain In the highest places.
At first Emperor William was in
clined to fulfill the wishes of the agra
rians , especially as they energetically
declared that their supporters would
not he able to enthuse for naval In
crease if they wore not passed in ac
cordance with their desires. After
Baron von Hnmmcrstein had spoken in
favor of the committee's report and ar
guments had been made against it in
the emperor's presence , Chancellor Ho-
henlohe sided with Count von Buelow ,
saying he would not be able to remain
'in office were the bill In its present
form to become a law.
Finally the emperor yielded to the
chancellor. It is now almost certain
the bundesrath will not accept the bill
In Its present form and before the
third reading a compromise is assured.
The whole nation is thoroughly
nrouscd. The agricultural council has
declared Its satisfaction with the com
mittee's report , but the Chambers of
Commerce at Bremen , Hamburg. Chem
nitz. Essen and Elberfeld have held in
dignation meetings. The National
Chemical society has called a meeting
for Monday to protest. Tlio central
( bureau for the preparation of commer
cial treaties has reported In favor of
an "agitation against the bill , Involv
ing almost the whole of Germany's
commerce , industry and shipping. "
The bill has affected the bourses , es
pecially Atlantic steamship linea ,
whose securities declined today.
WHEELER STILL AN OFFICER.

WASHINGTON , March 10. The
statement attributed to General Joe
Wheeler in a recent , interview in San
Francisco that he tendered his resig
nation as nn olllcor of the volunteer

ignation the document has not reached

IiHiii'd fur Otlit'M.
FRANKFOHT , Ky. , March 10 W. 11 ,
Coulton , ii clerk In the ofnco of State
Auditor Sweeney , was arrested and
placed In Jail tonight , charged wltli
complicity In the murder of the late
Governor William ( Joebel. The arresl
was made by Chief of Police Williams
at 9 o'clock. More arrests are likely
tonight.
Warrants have also been Issued foi
the arrest of Secretary of State Calcl
Powers and Captain John W. Davis
but they have not been served. The
warrants albo charge them with belnt
accessory to the Gochel assassination
and warrants against ex-Secretary ol
State Charles Flnlcy and John T
Powers , brother of Secretary of State
Powers , have been sworn out and have
been sent to Whttely county for ser
vice. Davis Is In the city tonight bul
was not at his residence , and up to si
late hour the police had not found
him. It Is not known whether Secre
tary Powers is In the city.
Several witnesses who testified nl
the trial of Harland Whlttaker Tues
day swore that the shots at the time
of the Goebcl assassination were fired
from the direction of Powers' office
and he and nil of the parties for whom
warrants were issued tonight have
been under the strictest surveillance
ever since the assassination. Captain
Davis was an appointee of Governor
Bradley and was continued under Gov
ernor Taylor. He also kept a boarding
house.
The warrant on which Coulton was
arrested and for the arrest of the twc
Powers , Flnley and Davis was based
on an affidavit made by Thomas B ,
Cromwell of Lexington , Ky. , before
County Judge Moore. Cromwell 1ms
been assisting the detective in hunt
ing down the case , and it Is said that ,
acting under directions from Colonel
T. C. Campbell and Commonwealth's
Attorney Franklin , he spent several
days In Hardin , Bell , Whlteley and
Knox counties , where It is alleged the
evidence against the parties arrested
was secured. Public admission to the
stale house grounds was denied to
night to all , by order of the military
authorities , but whether this is to be
enforced longer than tonight is not
known.
LOUD ATTACKS PENSION SYSTEIV ? .
Asserts Congress Is Still Legislating on
Ite\olntlonary War Cases.
WASHINGTON , March 10. The first
day pension session of the house pro
vided for under the now rule adopted
yesterday proved a great success. There
was comparatively little friction and
ninety-seven bills were favorably act
ed on in committee of the whole and
subsequently passed by the house.
The only incident of the session was
a brisk exchange between Loud of
California and Sulloway of New Hamp
shire upon the general policy of spe
cial pension legislation , in which the
former attacked and the latter defend
ed the system.
Loud delivered some general re
marks on the policy of passing pri
vate pension bills. He said that 95 per
cent of the special bills passed by con
gress never should have been favorably
considered. All of them , he said , had
been rejected by the pension office after
the claimants had exhausted every ef
fort to establish their claims. Ho knew
it was unpopular to say these things ,
but , said he , no man ever made a mis
take by pursuing the right. Of the
million and a quarter soldiers and wid
ows of old soldiers who survived the
war almost 1.000,000 were on the pen
sion roll. Loud warned members that
if things went on as they were going
during the life of the direct descend
ants on the youngest member of the
house , congress would still be legislat
ing for the pensioners of the civil war.

To Aid Widows and Orphans of the
liner * .
A pathetic appeal of the committee"
of Africander and Bond members of
parliament was Issued at Capo Town ,
Oct. 10 , 1899 , signed by Messrs. N. F.
DeWaal , Joaeph N. Hoffman , J. II.
Ilofmcyr , Thomas P. Thcron and D.
J. A. Van Zyl , which says among
other things :
"What may , what can , we colonial
Africanders do in this sorrowful time ?
Join in the work of warfare with the
weapons ? Thu law and our duty as
British subjects forbid this , even
should other circumstances not oppose
such a course of action.
"But what neither the law nor the
duty of the subject forbids , and what ,
moreover , agrees in every respect with
all principles of religion and human
ity , is the offering of help to the
wounded , to the widows and the
orphans. "
In the name of the Africander bond ,
on behalf of the citizens of the South
African republic and their noble ally ,
the Orange Free State , I appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with the brave ncople who are now ,
In the words of John Hancock , liter
ally offering all that t > .ey have , all
that they are , and all that they hope
to be , upon the altar of their country ,
fighting to the death the arrogance
and imposition of the great British
empire , in order to remain free nnd
Independent , as did our American
forefathers in I77G and 1812. THERE
