It was no parade. Every man went as though running to a nro. They ran up the middle of the street and easily distanced the legislators , ' who took the sidewalk and handicapped themselves by numerous posts , boxeo and pedestrians that filled the way. When the lawmakers arrived all they ob tained for their run of n quarter of a mile was the privilege of standing on the opposite site- side of the street nnd gazing at the opcrai house , the front nt which was occu pied by n panting Hub of soldiers In double rank , with fixed bayonets. General Lyons , the oldest and meet .corpulent In the house , had , despite his physical drawbacks , man aged tobcat the soldiers and get Into thn hnll. Ho was politely requested to comn 3ut , which he did with the remark , "It does aot look ns though a quorum will get in.

Speaker Trimble stepped up to Lieutenant Colonel Grav and demanded entrance to the ball. It wati rcluscd. Turning around Mr. Trimbln addressed the crowd : ' 'Gentlemen , wo are denied admission to the opera house. Wo will now adjourn to the court bouse.

For the democrats the following state- , mcnt has been issued : "Tho proclamation of Taylor Is unwnr ranted In fac.t and In law.

E Bat ton and other democratic lghdato".i. There Is much doubt among the members of the legislature ns to whether they will go to London at all. Scimo of the rcpub- j llcans left Frankfort durlug the day , de claring that they wcro going direct to Lon don , but no democrat so declared himself. The words "London , Laurel county , " are not word's that please democratic ears. In fact , many of them declared that their lives would not bo safe after they reached the town. It Is a place of about 1,000 Inhab itants , situated in what is known as the "feud country. " The Inhabitants ore mostly mountaineers nnd largely pf , a most en thusiastic typo of the republican faith. The county is one of the greatest republican strongholds | n the state. The people of Laurel county are 'intensely for Taylor and Intensely ngalnst'-'Goebel atid all his works. It Is this , latter .feeling. that causes the democratic member's of "the1 legislature to feel hesitancy about veniurlrig nt the pres ent time , when pa ty feeling runs so high and so blttlc , from ' egd top , end , of the state , within the confines' Layrejl county or into ' the ntfehbdrlioo'd.of London !

The democrats have not , In fast , decided whal they will do. All day the fllmdow of the death of Mr. Gocbel hung over the Capltol hotel. Ills strength began to'fall him late Ir. the morn ing. The bustle nnd excitement of the mornIng - Ing , which dcapl.to nil precautions penetrated Into ills quiet room , had a most sorjous ef fect upon him. At noon it was'declared that he could live but a short time and at 1 o'clock It was said that death was Upon him. The halls and stairways were filled with people who Ba ( n silence , expflcttag to hear at any moment-that the end liatl qpuio. The afternoon wore'away , however , nnd ns even ing drew on ho seemed to gain new strength and appeared distinctly better. Ho was never for a moment unconscious and never did bib courage abate for an Instant. Ho called for a clergyman during the afternoon and Rev. P.-F. Tallaferro and Prison Chap lain Wallace were twice with him. Later , n clerical friend , residing a short distance In the country , came In and remained for an hour at his bedside. The physicians declared that there was nothing that could have kept him up so long but- his wonderful nerve and will power. They gavei absolutely no hope nnd said that death nt the farthest could not be farther away than a few hours. Frankfort was fillet In the extreme today. . Many of the saloons wereclosed and the cold wind kept the jieoplp off $ hc streets. THIS MAY SERVE AS A CLUE Sniicrliitciiilciit of Piibllti IiiHtriK-tlon Ilnrko AllcMVi.U' ( yi > 3ltn ; to hU-ei t .

Gocbel as soon as ho was assured that he was legally governor of Kentucky took prompt action regarding the military ar rangement of the servlccf Two orders were quickly picpared for his signature , the flrAt of which discharged Adjutant General DinleJ Collier from ofllco and appoints General John D.

Thoio Is a possibility of trouble In the matter of control of the state trooq. The icglments of the guard have lately been reorganized nnJ are for the most part made up of republicans and personal followers of Taylor. It Is not certain that they will at once obey the orders Issued by Governor Goobel and any attempt to force them to do EO will almost certainly result In trouble. Some of the officers Intimated tonight that they would net obey the orders to leave , although they were careful not to say so In specific terms. Indications around the state house tonight were not such as to warrant any be lief that the troops now there Intended to move away In the morning. Supplies of clothing and food weio bclns received and unloaded and everything seemed to warrant the assumption that the troops wefo to stay for a time at least. General Collier refused positively to say anything regarding big pos sible line of action. He would not say , how ever , that he had any Intention of giving up his post nt the order of Governor Goebcl. It was announced by members of the militia tonight that of the soldiers now under arms here about 300 would obsy the orders of Governor Goebel. It Is not expected that they will attack their comrades , but they will refuse to obey the orders of Governor Taylor and take their chances of a court- martial , Shoitly after noon Mrs. Herman Bran- nocker of Hartwell , 0. , sister of Gocbel , ar rived with Mlso Margaret Partlnc. Mrs. BrannocKer was weeping. She was taken at once to the bedside cf her brother. The senator was conscious and recognized hei with a smile.

WILMAM OOEBRU NO FEDERAL TROOPS NEEDED SftTi'liiry Knot Mi > n SlntrulliorllliH Are AMe to Ilviil Mllli ( In- Munition. WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. Secretary Hoot is authority for the statement that theru la nothing In the situation in Kentucky calling for federal Interference. He Is credited with the remark ( hat the fltate authorities are perfectly able to deal with the situation and are not apt to call on the general gov ernment for assistance. Federal troops ' will bo ordered to Kentucky only as a last retort , nnd only then upon representation i of thy c-tnto authorities that they had ex hausted all their resources and were powor- Ic-fE to deal with the situation. General Merrltt , commanding the Depart ment of the East , and General Uroollf. lately governor general of Cuba , were at the War department today , but their vlalt was a mere coincidence , qnd tliero Is the best . .authority for tbu statement that their presence In the city has no reference wbat- o\er to the possibility o ! t'he ute of federal I I troops In the settlement of the troubles in Kentucky. U ofwinot bo learned that thn change In the situation in Kentucky resulting from the adjournment of the legislature has al tered the \lcw * of the administration as to the wisdom and necessity for Intervention with troops In the state affairs. There Is a grpat'Tfcal of Ignqraiico hero as lo the exact proUslons fcf the Kentucky constitu tion iclatlvo to adjournments and recesses' and very much depends on that point. One member of the , administration nteirtcd , re gardless of the'terminology employed In the news dispatches , , that the legislature was technically In a state cf recess. If that bo Into , of course the power to call for troops could not be exercised by the gov ernor nt this tlmo. Another member pointed out that , even assuming that the legisla ture stpod , adjourned , yet the United States constitution provided that the governor's call could ho recognized only when the legis lature could not bo convened nnd bo wanted to know If it was asserted that this state of factsxlited. .

WASHINGTON , Jan. .11. Debate in the 1 senate , ordinarily calm and dignified , burst today Into passionate utterances and btter i eliminations. Senators hurled denuncia tion at one another until the auditors .quiv ered with cxcllomant. , The debate grew out of a phase of the Philippine question and no bccno has been witnessed since the discussion of the war resolutions In the last congress which In senatorial features compaicd with that of today. Pottlgrew , who has precipitated nearly nil of the debate upon the Philippine quest ! . u during the present session , Bought to have read n resolution embodying n document written by Umlllo Aguinaldo upon the Fil ipino Insurrection and containing his ver sion of the alleged recognition of the Fil ipino republic by Admiral Do\voy. Senator Ledge of Massachusetts protested against printing the document In any form and read n letter from Admiral Doft-ey In which that portion of Agulnaldo's state ment relating lo the admiral WOB denounced as a "tissue of falsehood. " Senators on the flocr listened with eager attention and many gallery spcctntois leaned [ far over the railings In their desire not to miss a sentence. Ledge nald he preferred accepting Uewcy's word to that of Agulualdo and was satisfied the American people would also. In a passionate reply Pcttlgrew declared that Admiral Ucwcy had recognized the Filipino republic , and although afforded an opportunity hero to deny Agulnaldo's Etato- nont , had not done so. In on Instant half a dozen senators were on their feet. Haw ley denounced Paltl- grew's action us treason. In rapid succes sion Senator Pcttlgrow was made the tar get of Senators Spooner , Huwloy , Sow ell and Qalltnger. That the feeling was at a pitch seldom noted In the senate was evidenced by the pale faces of the men who spoke.

DpTVej'.i AVoril nr AKtiliinlilo'n. Galllnger of New Hampshire saU It whs , imo the kind of argument of the South Da cota senator should cease In the senate. Ho said It was a question whether we should jelleve the charges of Aguinaldo or ths jtatentunt of Admiral Dewey. Jones of Arkansas said ho thought that all he truth should be known. He thought ; great mistake was made in refusing to pass he resolutions of Inquiry. Ho also thought here should be no objections to printing documents. If they were true they ought to > o kuown ; If false , their ; .untrulhfulness would be shown. There had been a rigid Censorship of everything coming from Ma nila , , arJd Jones. , Ho charged that the repub : canfrrearon urhKvtrtWjtnuu repn iie tli * Philippines become known. , i ' , Pottlprew replied at some length , saying the United States controlled less than one- quarter of the soil In the Philippine archl- pelngo and that the way to peace was to ; rant the Filipinos Independence. Ho road Ironi the queen's speech at the opening of ho British Parliament , and eald It was made to appear that the English wereattackcd _ by : he Hours. There was no more truth in that statement than In the similar one that the United States had been attacked by the Fili pinos. Sewell of New Jersey eald he was not In favor of Philippine acquisition , tout no mat ter what his personal opinions were , ha supported the flag wben It was attacked. CnllM 1'ettltrrov a Trnltor. Ho deprecated beyond measure the action of the senator from South Dakota ( Petti- grow ) and under the circumstances he was a Lrnltor to his country in supporting the arch traitor of the United States , who has sold himself to Spain and betrayed his own country. _ Ho characterized the proceedings as monstrous. Teller of Colorado Bald ho doubted If there was much profit In continuing this kind of discussion. Hu did not agree with Sowcll. Any senator had tuo right on his own re sponsibility , oven In times of war , to differ and criticise the administration. Teller said the people of England were divided as to the lloor war and members of Parliament would criticise the government. He doubted whether any member would rise up and rail the member criticising the government a traitor. Teller eald If wo had withdrawn from the Philippines Aguinaldo would nut have been the ruler , but some European flag would be flying there. The Islands were valuable and by some arrangement European nations would have effected an agreement by which they would have held them. Hawley said that Aguinaldo had been ex hibited before the world as nn embezzler and a scoundrel. Ho said that the docu ment that Mr. Pcttlgrow wanted to print gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Hu re- ' fcrred to Aguinaldo as a friend of the sena tor from South IJakpta , Pettigrew said he yielded to no man bis fidelity to his country. Ho sold by n re vcrsal of our policy In 'the Philippines the honor of the country could bo retained. He defended Aguinaldo from the charges made against him and read from the documents of the peace conference showing that American generals spoke highly of Aguin aldo. aldo.When Pcttlgrew concluded , Derry of Ar kansas tpoko against the financial bill , DEBATE FAKES A WIPE KANGE Coimrt-NHinrii IllNOUN * Vltnl of ( In- Hour Wlillu Coimlderliiir Inillnii Mill.

And I doalro to announce hern that If Itcro not for the dssautta of white men on black \\omen there would bo less of the other class. . The public galleries contained many col ored people , who applauded this ultcitinco vigorously. Williams of Mississippi made a warm de fense , of the action of certain HOUlhern states iu disfranchising the Ignorant and illiterate. He declared those states s\cro preventing the submergence of civilization. Ho eiatcd upon his honor that since 1875 no man had been defeated for office by fraud or force. He frankly a\owed that Mississippi had sought by her constitution to suppress the Ignorant and Illiterate and the supreme court had sustained the constitutionality of her constitution. In Mississippi , said ho , the law had been violated by murder , arson - son and rape , but no man had ever been shot do\\n because ho wanted to work. Cochran of Missouri closed the day with a speech against the expansion policy of the administration. It was agreed to close the genoHU debate at 4 o'clock tomorrow.
