He had asked an opinion from the attorney of the bank , 'ho said , and when It was resolved would act accordingly. He declared thnt he would take no chances of paying out money until he was satisfied j that ho was acting under proper authority , t The attitude of the bank toward the Taylor - j lor vouchers created u decidedly heal lab ] sentiment on the part of grocers who have been furnishing supplies to the joldlors nnd tonight they refused to honor nny orders unless thpy were nccompnnlcd by cash. , When this was reported to Adjutant General Col lier he at once furnished the necessary money. At tint name time announced that before the trouble he had foreseen the i possible attitude of the bank and the grocers [ and had secured control of the state iftllltary appropriation. Ho hnd money enough , he i snld , to pay for everything.

I The Becond Instance promised for n tlmo ! to hnve serious consequences and trouble j may yet arise from It. Governor Taylor Is- j piled a pardon to Douglas Hayes , n convict I In the Frankfort penitentiary , who Is son-Ins n five years' term for manslaughter , bavins been sentcnced ln March , , 1899. When tha pardon was sent to Warden Lilian ! he de cided ho qould > not turn the man loose until ho was satisfied regarding the legal stntus ot the governorship. He made no reply to Governor Taylor , but declined to honor the pardon and Informed the penitentiary com missioners of his notion. They agreed with the position taken by the warden and the man WHR held. llPIHiblli-niiH Arc Inilligiiiitit. The action of Lilianwho ] IB an ardent supporter of Goebcl , aroused Intense Indigna tion among the republicans nnd it was de clared that a detachment of soldiers would bo sent to the penitentiary to take the man away by force If Warden Llllnrd persisted' In hla'rqtusal , to release Hayes. No such talk , however , came trom the offlco of Governor Taylor or that of Adjutant General Collier. This talk1 Was iiturally resented by > ho democrat's and LlIlaTii 'received open otyors of aid In case ho should decide to eugare In a battle with the soldiers over their right t-J enter the hall and take Hayes out. When , this afternoon , his oinco was vlbltcd the warden was engaged In conversation o\er the telephone. lie was giving the man at the other end of the wire Information re garding the number ot men he could provlda to resist a possible attack. Ho rung oft as Boveral visitors entered his ofllco and discon tinued the conversation , declining to dis close the Identity ot the man at the other end ot the wire , who was evidently asking him U ho desired assistance. "I can do nothing else than hold the man , " aid the warden. "Tho situation Is known to everybody and I cannot assume the re sponsibility of releasing men on the order of Taylor when the legislature has declared specifically that Gopbel IB the governor ot the state. Had the pardon been received yesterday I would have let the man go and been glad to do so. I wish to keep no man In this place , but I cannot release convicts on .the Order of n man who , It has been de clared by the law-making power of the elate , has no right to Issue such orders.

" When usked If ho did not know whore he could obtain plenty of help It he needed It , the warden , mild : { 'When the soldiers comn up here and de mand the keys for thu purpose of taking out Hayes , I think they are likely to gut thorn. If convicts are taken out of hero In that manner , the responsibility will rest on the men who take him away nnd not upon me.

This afternoon It reached the doer of the building , and ne todIt } * has strong hopes that the next a ( < tijmpt will talio them Into the legislature chaisbers. At 4 o'clock this afternooi printed notlccr. were handed around tin lobby of the Capital hotel signed by Speakci Trlivble , asking all mcmbom of tlm legis lature to meet at the west door of the hole at Q o'clock , preparator ) to holding a tuti- The Non-Irritating Cathartic Una ? to take , easy to operate Hood's Pills slon In the capital building. U wns gen erally understood thnt admission would bo refuted , but the democrats determined to demand ncccsH to the building as a matter of form and to put the republicans upon record. At the appointed time the members fell Into line nnd In columns of twos , headed by the tail form of Speaker Trimble , the march wns taken up toward the state house grounds. On Voth etdca nnd In the rear come n large Crowd. As Speaker Trimble approached the gate , which was guarded by two Eentrlcs , the soldiers stepped back , low ered their bayonets and allowed the speaker to pass through. "Aro you a member of the legislature , " asked one ot the sentries. "I nm , " replied the speaker , as ho snrted : up1 the bflck-walk toward the capllol. The samo. question was put to the other members as they approached , and when It came the turn of the 'crowd the sentries fired the same query at "every bunch and every bunch answered in chorus , "I am. " The legislature numbered 500 by the tlmo the speakcF was at the ca'plfol steps. Upon the landing at 'the ' top of the steps a long line of soldiers was dinwn up , und r the command of Captain Horace Cochran. Bayonets were fixed , the men stood firmly and It was evident to Mr. . Trimble that the moment for negotiations had arrived. Approaching preaching 'tub ' captain ho cald : "Wo demand admission to the hall. Wo nre members of the legislature nnd desire to hold u session. " Clerks Leigh of the house nnd Orsha of the scnnto also demanded that they be al lowed to enter. Kent Out of I li < - Hull. "We have orders to admit nobody , " re plied Captain Cochran. "We have a right to enter this hull , " said the speaker , "and wo demand that we be allowed to do so in order that we may attend to the business cf the state. " "I have orders to admit nobody and you cannot go In , " was the reply. The , spoakcr turned arquod and. standing at the .

I do now declare thU ses- slcn of the legislature adjourned and it will meet subject to my call. " Down the steps went the speaker and be- iilnd him followed the crowd. There WPS no sign of disturbance throughout the Incident , everything being conducted In an orderly and dignified manner by the legislators. Th3 mpromptu members were not so mindful of : he dignity ot their high calling and were Inclined to make facetious remarks at the soldiers. There is very little heard now about Lon don nnd there eeemn to he a general feeling among the democrats and republicans allku that the next regular meeting of the legisla ture will be held ip ' the capltol building. There has been no announcement of any in- Icntlon on the part of Governor Taylor , but It ueems to have become n tacit belief that he will rescind his action of yesterday before he tlmo set for the meeting at London. Anonymous letters threatening assasslna- lon are going through the malls In consider able numbers. They have been received by the democratic attorneys , by the republican [ ittorueys and by every judge of the court of appeals. They are practically cf one nature , nformlng the recipient that unless he mends the error ot his political ways ho will be shot down. Occasionally somebody threatens to Blab , but thu general trend of assassina tion sentiment s'eema to run toward gun powder. Former Governor Dradloy's house Is guarded night nnd day by soldiers and even In the daytime the Inside blinds on the flrst floor are kept closed to prevent anybody from being able to fire through the windows with accuracy. At S o'clock Speaker Trimble posted a notice In the olllcu of the Capital hotel callIng - Ing membcru of the hatiEC to meet In one ot the hotel parlors. Forty-four members only were present nnd thin being no quorum nn adjournment was taken. The meeting wns not original- ] Intended ns much fur business purposes us to nerve nollco on the military that theleglBlature was nblu lo meet when It chose.

No call for federal ttoop.q hns ytfl been received frjm ' Kentucky. Moreover , the odlclnls of UIB j \Vni- department see no reason to expect an ! Application nt this time certainly and proli- I ably not nt all. The odlrlal vlow Is that the , present contest In Kentucky Is purely a state matter , and tip to this moment It has pre sented no features tint would warrant the InlcrvRiiUon of the United States govern ment. The exact functions of the United Statca nrmy when ncllni ; within a state have been most carefully defined nnd set out In ' general order No. 20 , promulgated July 24 , IS'JI. IS'JI.Under Under the terms of tha ! order the govern * niont of the United States can of Its own i volition ttso the federal troops within n slaty I ' only when "Insurrection , domestic Uo.cnce , unlawful combinations or conspiracies In nny otnto RO obstruuts or hinders the execution of the lawn thereof nnd of the United States as to deprive nny portion or class or the people - plo of such state of any of the rights , privi leges or Immunities , or protection , named In the constitution , and secured by the la\va for the protection of such rights , privileges or Immunities , nnd the constituted authorities of such Htatc are unable to ptotcct or from any cauao fall In or refuse protection of the icople In such rights. " It docs not appear to the ofllclaU here that he conditions described In this statute now xlst In Kentucky. Another ease In which th ? United State * roops might be employed is set out In sec- Ion No. 5297 , Ucvlncd Statutes , authorizing lie president to employ trocrs In casof an nsurrccllon in any stntc against the govcrn- icnt thereof "on application ot the leglBla- ure of'such state or ot the executive hereof , when the legislature cannot be con- ened. " Itontx ivlth the I'rcnlilcnt. It will be noticed In the cases above cited n which troops may be employed the presl- cnt Is allowed to cxcrclso his discretion In meeting thu request ; It Is not mandatory pen him to accede to It. Were the ! not the ase , upon the president after all might bj ) laccd the responsibility for a decision be- wccn the rival claimant ! * for the Kentucky overnorsulp. Assuming that the legislature las been legally adjourned by Governor Tny- or and thnt It cannot be reconvened before He dutc specified In his proclamation , cither f the persons claiming to be governor of Centucky might call upon thn president for roops and thus oblige him to decide the i - ue , had he not the rcnsrved right to decline 0 meet cither request. A like situation might arise should two legislatures bo or- -anlzcd , a contingency which IB looked upon s extremely probable by the olllclals here. So It may be stated that the position of the dmlnlstratlon In its decision to refrain from ntcrventlon in Kentucky lemalnH unshaken > y any of the events of the last twenty-four lours , and In all likelihood ths only hap- icnlng which could induce the ordering ot roops Into the state would bo an assault upon United States property and courts or malls , and interstate commerce , and even In nth case , It Is privately declared on the ilghest military authority , that the troops vould not be used to further any interests in he state or to mcddlo in Its politics or for my other purpose than the defense of the Jrfltcd States' interests. . . . - - Toy lor IlolnuiulH Iti-otiunllloo' . i WASHINGTON , Feb. 1. President Mc- Clnley hns received n long message from Governor W. S. Taylor of Kentucky , dated oday. at Frankfort. Governor Taylor recites at length the sit uation in Kentucky ; declared that he con- Iders himself the legally-elected executive of the state and asserts tli.it the condition of affairs nt the present time IH most crlt- cal. cal.Ho Ho says that a riot may occur at any tlnle vhlch will cause much bloodshed. Governor Taylcr says thnt he is doubtful of his power o control the situation nnd appeals to thu iresldent to end the matter and secure peace n the atate by recognizing him as the gov ernor of Kentucky. The appeal Is very earnest and the aid ot ho administration i urgently requested. \u Autloii ht WiiHlilnuton. Governor Taylor's communication to President McKlnley is i the nature of a ncmorial. It goes nt great length Into the situation In Kentucky , making an explana tion of the conditions' there. Whllo definite and absolute Information on this point Islet lot obtainable there Is reason to believe that a specific request for the Immediate presence of federal troops is not made. No action of nny kind has been taken on Governor Taylor's memorial and It can be positively stated that up to midnight no .leclu'on whatever with reference to it bad lccu rouched. Tomorrow ia the regular day 'or cabinet meetings nnd Fridny'B session will bo very opportune for n careful con sideration by the president nnd all his ad visers for the course for the ndmlnistratlon o take. No conclusion will be reached save with great deliberation and after the most caieful discussion of the Kentucky Blt- untlon in nil HH aspects as it affects the federal government. The picsldont will go very slow in the matter In the hope thai events In the etato will HO sbnpo themselves an to relieve the administration of the noccKalty of any ac tion. At the same time there are contin gencies which may practically compel the president to move. If such contingencies can bo averted they will he. Look for IVnecfnl Solution , The tcnsltn in Kentucky Is intense and Its very Intensity Is felt hero to be likely to lend to conic peaceful solution of the question. Action by the federal government at tills time , It Is ( car0.1 , might further roil rather than smooth the r.iigry passions that have prevented an adjustment no far. To day the Hrst attempt W.IB nmdo to aeouro a peaceful : \ay cut of the muddle. This at tempt mot fniluro in an absolute * refusal 0:1 : the part of the democratic mnnaguns to let the United States supreme court decide the case. The ppbitlcn , hov/cvor , Is that affairs alons the lli.o i.f a judicial termination of thtt churr.H , if Tnylor aiujr ( jcobel bhould nut bo abandoned bocauto < f the Impossible burlier met today , bill that further at- ttr.nptn should be made to reach .111 under standing with the democratic munaners. The president Is In communication with Gov ernor Taylor and It Ij pobslblo thai some statement leqardlng their correspondence may bo inado pnbllo later. Tills will de pend largely t-a wheiK-r such a statement would tend 111 Prmldciu McKlnley's opinion to allay excitement.

LAWYERS CONFER ABOUT IT I'ropoMlllon i.oolilnn to nn Ainli-ulile Adjustment COIIII-H from Itcpnli- 1 lunnutliIn AceomiillNlioil. FRANKFORT Ky. , Feb. 1. For the first tlmo since ithe shooting of Goabel there were today signs ot a peaceful settlement. The eigns were few and small and they have disappeared , but the hole into which they were withdrawn has been left open and there Is a chance thnt they may reappear. The original proposition looking toward an amicable adjustment came from the repub lican side just before noon , when T. L. ISdclc'h of Frankfort , one of Governor Tay lor's attorneys , appeared nt thp Capital hotel to hold a/conference with Judge 1'ryor , Lewis 'McQuoVnn and William Scott , the legal advisers of the democracy. After a short tnlknRdclehv declared that Governor Taylor and 'theHopubllcan party were anx ious to-nvoldtaiu-thlng cthat might possibly lead lo serious trouble , as the present con ditions mfgbt "do if nothing wore done to prevent it. ' He- > was assured by the demo cratic attorneys that they were as anxious to nave nny clash between the parties as ths republicans could be. Edelen then proposed to submit the case of the rival Governors to the Kentucky court of appeals , which , ho declared , judg ing by the action of Judge Hazclrlgg in swearing In Gbvornor Goebel , would prob ably decide against Governor Taylor. Ho ( hen wanted the right to submit the matter to the United Stales supreme court for final settlement. The talk was informal , Edeleu merely stating jits position that the oppos ing attorneys might take the matter under advisement. The lawyers separated with an agreement t > meet again at 2 o'clock In the afternoon. When they met the Becond time Kdeleu again submitted his proposi tion and received the reply that the at torneys had decided to have the matter adjudicated In the state courts. To this Mr. Edolen objected , saying ho wished the final settlement made In the supreme court nt Washington. Mr. Edelen asked for details regarding the Boating of Governor Goobel by the joint session last night. As it has been repeatedly announced that the republicans would claim that the seating of n governor by Joint ballot is contrary to the Goebel election law of Kentucky , which provides , the republicans assert , that the vote shall be taken separately , the demo crats declined to say anything about the matter. They told Edelen that the proceed ings of the session were written in the journal of legislative proceedings nnd that he would thcro nnd all the Information which It wa possible to give him. Mr. McQuowan urged the republicans to concede the election nnd seating of Governor Goebel , which Edolen declined to entertain. Hoth sides were nt the end of their respec- tlvo ropes. Nothing morn could bo said on cither sldp nnd the lawyers separated. Aa they left the room Edelen Intimated that It was possible that he might bo nble fo submit another proposition at somojator time. Ho WHS given to understand that ho would bo mot hnlf way nnd the conference was at an end. HiMirv WnIt < T > ! on Nf KANSAS CITY , Fob. 1.

Hcprcscntntlvo Jonrph Slbley ot Pennsylvania , who attained prent piomlnenee In the Fifty-fourth con gress by his earnest championship of free silver , assailed his demozrntlc colleagues to day for thrlr opposition to expansion In a sppcch that made- the floor nnd galleries roar. Slbley has recanted his views on free sil ver and IH now generally out of line with his colleagues on the democratic side , lie In- elated today that expansion was an original democratic doctrine promulgated by Jeffer son and adhered to by Muilson , Jackson , Tyler , I'olk and Huchannn. In eloquent language ho pictured the destiny of the United States carrying the nrttt of peace and the story of the cross lo the remotest corners of the globe. Slbley received an Imprenslvo demonstra tion when he closed. The remainder of the debate was uninteresting. U touched the questions of mediation In the Transvaal war , lynchlngs In the south and the Jury law In Hawaii. Not much piogress was made with the Indian bill , which wns under considera tion. Slbley In his speech criticised his follow democrat for opposing the annexation ot the Philippines. Ho had , ho said , heard no argument agnlnst terrltorlnl enlnrgment which wns not urged against the annexation of Louisiana nnd Texas. CiK-Iiriin : IH Inti-rroHiltor. "Is there nny parallel , " asked Cochrnu ot Missouri , "between the territory In the Louisiana purchase , then practically without population , nnd the Philippines ? " "Nothing has been said about the Philip pines , " replied Slbley , "which was not aald about the territory now Missouri. You in Missouri were elapsed as barbarians. " "Uul nro the Philippines , with n population denser than Iowa , Missouri , Knnaas and Ne- brnska , available for occupation ? " nslcod Cochrnn. "I think they nrc.

" "Do you believe the people in the Philip pines nro susceptible of the civilization of the inhabitants of the Louisiana purchase ? " "I am not placing limitations on the powers of almighty God , " answered Slbl y , amid a round of republican applause. Proceeding , Slbley painted out that modern methods hnd brought the Philippines nearer than the Louisiana purchase or Texas when they were annexed. In reply to Cochran's taunt that civiliza tion wns being shot Into the Filipinos , Slb- ley said thnt the history of civilization had been traced in human b'.coj. Wendell Phillips had said that every achievement of bunion justice had gone from rack to rack and scaffold to Ecnflold. "Shall wo hold Puerto Ulco nnd the Phil ippine nrchlpclago ? " asked Slbley.

We hold by the double titlr of purchase- - and of conquest and my belief Is that where once the-shadow of our banner has fallen there will survive n race ot free mun , and I would hold Cuba until stability , order , good government and the protection of life and property were as- htired.

We saw them stripped and wounded on our way to Jericho and like the priest and the Levite we passed by on the other cide. Not un heard , those cries and groans nt the throne ot the Almighty , who , to awaken us from apathy , our almost criminal indifference , permitted the engines of His wrath to hurl their thunderbolts under the bows of the Maine , lying peacefully nt anchor In Havana harbor. Nor keenest-sighted statesmen , nor most daring warrior had dreamed often of the possibility of great gain , growth or greatness to como to us as a nation from that war of which the blowing up ot the Maine was the first declaration. God rind the valor of American arms gave us that territory , not because we are n nation al together free , altogether pure , altogether blameless , but because , working through Him as an Instrumentality , He hns given It to ttho boldest , the freest , the most prp- grcsslvc , the most enlightened and the most Christian nation of the present age.

I. In the so.iaic the resolution of Allen discharging the finance commlttep from further considera tion of lil * resolution calling tor Information from the secretary of the treasury with ref erence to his transaction with the National City bank nnd thp Hanovnr National bank ot New York was laid before the senate. Allen averred that the rppllcs of the HJP- rpinry of thp treasury hnd not be n sum- eleni. Uo reviewed the reply of Secretary Case to his resolution. He rend the now famous letter addressed to Secretnry Oa- ? " hy A. H. Hepburn , vice president of the Na tional City bank. In which rnferpncp wns made to the bank directors' part In the cam paign nt isnc. Allen mlmlttcd that no rpply wns.nan'p to thnt later , but , he said , thnt Its object won attained was evidenced by the f.irt that when the letter was written the National City bank hail on deposit less than $20,000 of government money , while less than n month Inter the government doposilt In that bank was nbollt S24.000.000. HcfcrrliiK to further coirespomUnfi ; bo- twecn Secretary Gngo and Mr. Stlllinnn , Mr. Allen charged the latter with Inviting the TrcaBtil-y department to give the country the Impression that there was more money In the banks of New York than there really was. This ought , in his opinion , lo have called forth n shaip rebuke ftom the Becre- tary , hut the correspondence showed n lie. Sarcastic comment wns made by Allen upon thnt part of the correspondence which related to the transaction of the govern ment's business In the Philippine * through the National City bank. Ho was Interrupted by Carter , who cald that about that time ho had been Inforniod hy 'tho ' paymaster of the army thnt ho wns wholly without banking IncllltlcB for the payment of our trocps In the Philippines , except through London , "I would like lo .isk the senator. " In quired Carter , "If ho thinks thereIs any thing objectionable in an effort by the government to try to pay Its soldiers In the Philippines In American mot'uy through an American bank , thus escaping the ruin- oua UlscountH which we hnve to pay the London bank ? " Allen rcpllo.l that he did not cato have his speech interrupted. Such ques tions caused a departure that he did not like. Spooncr said : "It Is net n departure ftom the truth , but simply a departure from jour speech. " "The senator from Nebraska , " interjected Aldrich , "Is now showing that an American bank v as trying to get the business done by London banks and the treasury wns try ing to give It. " Allen declared ithat from nil this corre spondence it was a logical deduction that the transactions were conducted for politi cal purposes. "That is , " suggested Carter , "It Is a logi cal deduction of the senator from Ne braska. " ( Laughter. ) "You may undertake to bully this sub ject down , " said Allen , with pome heat , "hut you can't do it. Yen cannot laugh it down and you will not be able le persuade Ihe American people that 'thcro was net undue Intimacy between the tic-usury and the Na tional City bank. And the knowledge of this fact hurts , too. " "Without having concluded his remarks Allen yielded the floor to Daniel of Vlrg.nla , who delivered nn extended , pcech on the pending financial measure. He vigorously opposed the proposition that the country Bhould go to the gold Ftandnrd. Daniel M. Ramsdell of Indiana and Charles G. Dennett of New York wore sworn In as scrgeant-at-arms and secretary of the senate icspectlvely. STARK WOULD AID MILITIA PrcNciitN n Hill to Hc-linlillltiitc the .National ( iniiril nm ! Ainiroprluto $ lOfOono ) Annually. WASHINGTON , Feb. 1. ( Sp6clal Tele gram. ) Congressman Stark Introduced n bill today which , If It should become a law , will create a homo guard whoso efficiency IB excelled by no other nation. The bill ap propriates $2,000,000 for tt rehabilitation of the militia of the states. Thle money IB to bo expended in the purchasp of arms , stoics , tents and for putting the guard on n footing equal to that of the regular service. The title to arms , quartermaster's stores nnd cnrnp equipment remains In thc > United Stated. Ileforo the appropriation becomes available the different states must show 100 mllltla men for each eenntor and icpresontatlvo In congressIn case thlB number is not roaphed , the money thus appropriated would bo converted back into the treasury. Ac cording to a rough estimate a homo guard of 125,000 would bo possible under the pro visions of Stnrk's bill. ( Senator Tburston'B resolution , introduced Homo tlmo ago , donating a condemned Span ish cannon to the commandor-ln-chlof of the Sons of Veterans , 'to bo made into medals , wan adversely reported from the committee on military affairs cf thn senate today. This was the result of a letter from fi cro- tary of War Root , who took the ground tbat the passage of such a resolution would BOt a very bad precedent and In a nhont tlmo nil cannon taken from the enemies of the United States would 'be ' converted Into medals for all sorts und conditions of to- clotles , patriotic nnd otherwise.
