Senator Carter hopes to proceed with

N | inratu Opinion
FRANKFORT , Ky. , 7. The court of
appeals today handed down a decision
In the governorship case In favor of
the democrats. The opinion Is by six
of the judges , four democrats ami two
Republicans.
Judge Durelle was the only judge
dissenting. The other two republican
Judges , Burnam and Guffy , gave a sep
arate opinion from the democratic
judges , but which agreed with the
democratic members In its conclusion.
Judge Hobhon wrote tlie opinion of
the court. The concurrence of Judges
Bunuun and Guffy with the four dem
ocratic judges was a surprise gener
ally , but to the republicans especially.
The opinion holds that the action
of the legislature in seating Governor
Bcckham was final and that the courts
have no power to review It ; that Gov-
etnor Taylor exceeded his authority In
adjourning the legislature to London
and that the Journals of the two
houses of the legislature , being reg
ular , cannot bo Impeached. Thirty
days must elapse before tin ; mandate
of the court of appeals , In accordance
with today's decision , Is Issued. Meaa-
whlle no radical change In the rela
tive positions of the two state govern
ments Is expected.
Former Governor Bradley , chief
counsel for Governor Taylor , tonlgnt
authorized the statement that an ap
peal on behalf of Governor Taylor and
Lieutenant Governor Marshall will be
carried to the supreme court of the
United Stales. Bradley and Judge W. !
H. Yost , counsel for Hie republican
state officers , were In consultation with .
Governor Taylor for several hours !
this afternoon and the statement was
made at the close of the conference.
It Is said that Colonel W. C. P. Brock-
inridge and republican leaders from
different parts of the state will meet
Taylor in conference here tomorrow
morning. !
Judge Burnam and Guffy , republicans - |
cans , while concurring in the opinion i
tl'tit the courts have no jurisdiction , j
dissented from the reasoning. Judge |
Burnam's separate opinion says : i
"It Is hard to imagine a more fla- i
jrrant and partisan regard of the modes j
ol procedure than is made manifest i
by the facts alleged and rolled on j
by contestees and admitted by de- i
niurrcr and I am firmly convinced
from admitted facts that the legisla
ture In the heat of au r , engendered
by intense partisan excitement , has
done two faithful , conscientious and ,
able public servants an irreparable ,
injury by depriving them of the office
to which they were elected and a still '
greater wrong to the large majority |
of the electors who voted under difll- |
cult circumstances to elect these ser
vants , ' i
"But we are met at the threshold j
with the contention that the courts |
of the state under the constitution have j
no power to go behind the legislative |
journal and review the Judgment of i
the assembly in the proceedings over
which they are given by the constitu
tion exclusive jurisdiction and from
whoso determination of the question i
no appeal is provided. J have been led j
with sonio leluctance to the conclusion ,
and not without home misgivings as I
to its correctness , that there is now '
po.ver in the courts of the state to !
review the findings of the general assembly - i
sombly In a contested election for the
offices of governor and lieutenant gov-
> rnor as shown by Us only authenc-
inted records. Many question have
been raised and diseased liy counsel
for the appellants , but it will be un
necessary to consider mem In view
of the conclusion we have reached.on
this fundamental question. "

the Immense difficulties to bo over

and Is revising premature ideas with
icspect to the time at which the war
will be over. No one believes that
it will have ended by the beginning

The latest disaster more particularly

some r > 00 British troops , without gnus ,
which disappeared so completely with

army , had for its business to guard a
section of nearly ninety miles of rail
way between Bloemfontein and Sprlng-
lonteln. If It could thus be spirited
away , how is Lord uoberts to ensurq
his continually extending communica
tions ?
Ctlier pertinent questions arc being
asked as a result of these successive
uniortunato occurrences. The fore
most isWhy do not the British troops
entrench ? It is argued that if this
had been done even fiOO men might
have held out until reinforcements

the utmost alarm Is beginning to be
