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. "
Thoraan Hcffncr , the owner of the opera
houno , demanded tbat the mombeis of thp
legislature should bo admitted. It was
private property , ho assorted , and the mllltla
had 116 right to keup anybody from It. ' He
wns completely Ignored by Lieutenant
Colonel Gray. 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. "
Away went the crowd with good-natured

orders to remain at the opera house , and

For the democrats the following state- ,
mcnt has been issued :
"Tho proclamation of Taylor Is unwnr
ranted In fac.t and In law. There Is no in
surrection , unless the presence of the mllllln j
nnd what the } ' hrc doing constitutes an In-
surrcctlon. But If an Insurrection did exist ,
the governor has no power to adjourn the
Beneral nsioibly on that account or any
other , axccpt where the two houses fall to
agrca on adjournment , ' '
U la signed by 13. 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 said they would
not go tp London , , but' their legal ud\lsers
hav < counseled them that Governor Taylor
had no right to adjourn the legislature from
Frankfort , nnd it IS likely that the matter
i v 111 ho contested in the courts bqfore any
Jclrcuinntunqes can arise which would call for
the arrest of the 'members. 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.

Gocbel as soon as ho was assured that he

prompt action regarding the military ar

quickly picpared for his signature , the flrAt
of which discharged Adjutant General DinleJ
Collier from ofllco and appoints General John
D. Castlcman of Louisville as his successor. ,
The second was directed to the commanders
of tlm militia now stationed In this city .
dlrcctlug them to return to their homes , ,
Word was at once telegraphed to General
Castlcman of his appointment aud ho Is ex
pected in the city tomorrow morning. 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. Senator Goebel's married sister -

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. .

ILI teKy. , Jan. 31. James Sutton ,
sheriff \Whltley county , who came here
fromFrankfort' ' last night , is a prisoner
in the county jail. Early this morning at
the VIctoila hotel Sutton went up to the
office of the clerk , brandishing two re
volvers.
"I am the man who shot Goebel , " he said ,
"and I will never bo taken alive. "
The hotel manager promptly sent for the
police and on the appearance of the latter
Sutton ran upstairs to the third story and
when he thought ho was about to be cap-
turf ' 1 opened A window and leaped out. He
alighted on his feet , was uninjured and ran
nearly n nlla before ho was arrested. The
police believe that Sutton Is cither decidedly
unbalanced mentally or that he knows who
shot Goebol. An effort to Interview him
after ho was lodged In jail proved unsuccess
ful. He lay In a dark comer of his cell
and refused to ray n word.

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.
Spocnor thought it WBH ttboUt time to dr.lw
ho llnp upon this con-jinn' t-nl d.illy suit of
\ ulnildu tigiliim the United StatCH Ho
said tliat no statement of a man In arms
against the United States should be pla. * J
on the records of the pcnate. It would , ho
bought , bo construed as encouragement to
hose. In insurrection against the flag and
authnlty of the United States. He made a
onchlng allusion to General Lawton and
read from a letter of the dead general , who
leprctctcd the utterances of the antl-lm-
periallutb In America on account of their ef
fect In the Philippines.
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.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. Under the latl
tudo allowed In general debate upcn ap
propriation bills , the Indian bill in the
house today was made the occasion of a
discussion of n wldo lange of public ques
tions. Our policy In the Philippine islands ,
the government of Puerto Klco , the leasing
cf our arid lands and election methods In
the south wens In turn brought to the
arena. The most Interesting debate oc
curred over * ho latter ( subject.
A bill was passed to correct an error In
the last river and harbor bill relating to
the appiopriatlon for ths Improvement cf
Iluffalo bayou and the Galveston ship ebon-
ncl.
, A bill was passed for the payment of the
salaries of certain leUied olllceis of the
' marine corps.
, The house then went Into rommlttce of
the whole for consideration of the Indian
i appropriation bill.
I Cconey of Missouri tcok occasion In the
debate to deliver an argument .igalnst Imp
perlallum.
j " Stephens ! of Texas occupied half an hour
I I In mlrocftpy of his bill to lease the nrld
I lands of the west nml use the proceeds for
' Irrigation purposes.
Weeks of ( .Michigan , who \lsltel Puerto
lUco last summer , discussed the necessity
of flxluc the status of the people theie
nt the earliest ronslblo moment
Llnney ct North Carolina deprecated the
discussion cf the policy of adtnlnl&tratlon
toward the Philippines.
"While the earth Is drlnklns the warm
blood of American heroes , " said ho , "It Is
I our duly to fiUlid by the flag of our eotmtry
I and the commandcr-'ln-clilct ' of r.ur nrmlea.
[ ( Applause on the republican side. )
i "Ycu 'cursed us out , ' " ho continued turn-
I Ing to the dcniojratlc side , "because wo did
not Jump Into the war before \\o did. "
"We forced you Inta the war , " Interposed
Galnes of Tennessee.
"Yes , you inndo us declare war and now
you arc 'cusslnR1 us because \\o didn't do
belter than you thought wo woutil. "
( LatiBbter. )
Llnney proceeded , directing his nttcutlon
to elections and lynchlngs In the south.
The luck of frco clcctlonn , ho said , \\ns ( ho
only Innrmlty In our govcrnifiental Bysteni.
In exact proportion as people were deprived
of their Vfrtofl , ho said , lynchluga and ns-
Basslnutlons wcro prevalent. Since 1801
there bad been an average of 110 lynching ! )
each year In the south.
White of North Carolina , the only colored -
orod representative In the house , said ! "I
liavo Investigated tbo lynching In the
Hotlth and 1 fltid that less than 15 per cent
of them arc duo to the ctlino cf rape. 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.
The house nt 4iO : ! p. m. adjourned.
