The meeting was held to perfect ar
rangements for the now St. Louis-Portland
mid Chicago-San Francisco service which
the Burlington will Inaugurate with Its
connections February 25. The most Im
portant matter decided upon was the addi
tion of a new train from Omaha to Chicago.
It was originally decided to abandon the
Burlington's present daylight train from
Omaha to Chicago , which leaves Omaha at
G:40 : n. in. , and change Its leaving tlmo to
midnight In order to make through con
nection with the train from San Francisco.
Number C , the present ' .train from Denver ,
will bo used In the through transcontinen
tal service. It will leave Denver at n. m.
Instead of 2:00 : p. m. , arriving In Omaha at
11:55 : p. m. Instead of 0:40 : p. in. , and con
tinue on to Chicago , arriving there at 2:15 :
p. in. , In time to make connections with all
of the afternoon trains out of Chicago for
the Atlantic seaboard. The new train to be
instituted will assume the same time as
the present No. C from Omaha to Chicago ,
leaving here at 0:40 : a. m. By the in
auguration of this train' the Burlington will
continue to have a daylight train between
Omaha and Chicago.
Among other changes contemplated Is the
Institution of a new night train 'to Chicago.
This will bo accomplished by changing the
schedule of train No. 2 from Denver so that
it will arrlvo in Omaha at 3 p. m. instead of
3:55. : This will bo followed by the pro
posed new train , leaving Omaha at 7:30 : p.
m. and arriving in Chicago the next mornIng -

FRANKFORT. Ky. , Feb. 10. "I hove only
thls'\o say : After mature deliberation ami
conference with my friends from every sec
tion of the state , I have concluded to allow
the controversy to take Us due course , vig
orously contesting every Inch of ground and
upholding the rights of tlio people to the
uttermost. If their rights be destroyed , the
{
responsibility for that destruction must rest
with those who sit In judgment.
"It Is duo to say that the eminent gen
tlemen , iny friends , who secured the propo
sitions resulting from the Loultjvillc confer
ence , acted in perfect good faith , from the
highest motives of patriotism , and did the
very' best they could.
"WILLIAM S. TAYLOH ,
Governor of Kentucky. "
The foregoing proclamation was Issued by
Governor Taylor tonight and according to
his oral statement at the time of Its Issu
ance embodies all ho desires to say concernIng -
Ing his position at tbo present time.
The decision not to sign the Louisville
agreement was reached by Governor Taylor
a few in I mi Ire after 1 o'clock this afternoon.
over two hours ho had been In confer
ence with fully ISO prominent republicans
rom all parts of the state , Including county
lommltteemon and four republican members
if the legislature. The meeting was secret
n the extreme , all those who came from
ho hall before Governor Taylor himself re
using to say anything concerning tbo prog-
css of the deliberations. Judge Denny pre
sided and L. F. Petty acted aa secretary.
The members of the conference with the
xceptlon of Governor Taylor gathered In
ho legislative hall usually occupied by the
state house of representatives. After the
mil was filled Governor Taylor entered and
was greeted with a ringing burat of cheers.
The door was then closed and the secret
proceedings begun.
Iut T vo COUTNCM to I'urxiic.
Governor Taylor stated to the conference
.hat there were two courses to bo pursued.
: < " ! rst , to sign the LoulsvIIlo agreement ; thu
second , to quietly 'Withdraw ' the troops , al
ow the legislature to reconvene in the
capitol building In Frankfort , to call oft
.ho session now being held at London and
o Ignore the Louisville agreement entirely.
Several speeches were made and It was soon
apparent that the eentlment of the gather-
ng was very strongly In favor of the second
end course , and this was adopted. This ac
tion was decided upon at 1 o'clock and the
first Information of the decision was given
o the outside world by Governor Tayloi-
iln'.sclf. He came rapidly through the doors
unattended and looking nervous and hag-
; ard. He walked hastily toward the cap-
tel stairway , repeating several times to the
newspaper men who stood In the hall :
"I don't sign ! " "I don't sign ! " "I don't
sign ! "
From the capitol he passed to the ex
ecutive building , where he at once made up
and signed the following proclamation , re
convening the legislature at Frankfort :
FRANKFORT , Ky. , Fob. 10. The excite
ment recently prevailing in this city hav
ing to some extent subsided and there ap
pearing now to be no necessity for the gen
eral assembly to remain In session in Lon
don , I do hereby by this proclamation re
convene sumo In Frankfort , Ky. , February
12 , 1900 , at 12 o'clock , noon.
W. S. TAYLOR ,
Governor of Kentucky.
Orders were at once laaued to General Col-
ler to prepare for the departure of the
troops , and In a very short time a largo
number of them were ready to leave. Six
companion left tonight , more will leave to
morrow and only a small detachment will
remain by Monday morning. These will be
retained only as a peace guard and will In
no way be obtruded upon the presence of
the legislature.
Word was at once sent to the members of
the republican legislature now In session
at London , that the next session would be
n Frankfort , and a prompt reply was re
ceived to the effect that they would all leave
n a body on Sunday and bo In Frankfort
Monday morning In ample time for busi
ness. After Governor Taylor had left the
jail a resolution embodying tbe sense of
the meeting was adopted.
DcinourntM Arc liicoiiNlM < cii ( .
When Informed of the action of the demo
cratic legislature at Louisville In refusing
: o come to Frankfort , Governor Taylor said :
It strikes mo that their attltudo is some
what inconsistent. They claim they cannot
30 protected at Frankfort and there Is no-
jody hero to molest them. They objected
! o the presence of troops at a tlmo when
.hero was far greater excitement and danger
; han now. After things have quieted down
they 'refuse to return because/ they say they
cannot bo guaranteed protection. "
The action of Governor Taylor today rc-
; urns the gubernatorial fight to the cxart
position It occupied on the day following the
[ Joebel assassination , with the additional
complication that there was but ono legisla
ture and ono governor In fact , whereas there
are now two claimants for the position and
tw-- separate bodies , each claiming to bo the
lawmaklng power of Kentucky.

LOUISV.ILLE . , Ky. , Feb. 10. The collapse
of the peace negotiations through Governor
Taylor's rejection of the Louisville agree
ment and the lattor's action In calling off
the London legislature and partially with
drawing the troops have loft the fight over
the state officers divested of many of IU
warlike foutures'but in n worao legal tangle
than over.
The receipt of news from Fionkfort this
afternoon was followed Immediately by a
gathering of the democratic leaders nt the
Mlllard hotel. At this conference were Sen
ator Hliickburn , Governor Heckham , General
Castlcnian , President Carter , Speaker Trlm-
blo and others. At Its conclusion Governor
Hccktmm eent to the legislature a niEjFago
reciting the failure of the peace negotiations
and the conditions existing at Frankfort as
seen by htm and rcconxiiciidlng that the
legislature continue Its sessions In Louisville
as ho could not guarantee their personal
security nor protect them from unwar
ranted Interfereneo at Frankfort. Acting
upon this suggestion , the legislature decided
to remain in Ixmlsvlllo for tbo present and
adjourned to meet at the court house Monday
at noon.
It is probable a joint resolution , which
was offered today , will then bo adopted , call
ing for tbe appointment of a committee to
Investigate the conditions at Frankfort , as
far as they affect the safety of the legisla
tures. The members do not accept Governor
Taylor'e action In ordering away part of the
troops as restoring order under which they
may return to the capitol. They say they
would feel safer with the rallltla there than
with "the Irresponsible armed mountaineers.
who for weeks have been gathering about
the atdto buildings , " left to menace them.

This telegram came like the bursting of a

tion today when the two houses adjourned
to Monday noon that the place of meeting
would be transferred from the "London State
House" to the capitol nt Frankfort.
When Lieutenant Governor Marshall ar
rived this morning ho said :
"I have come and expect to stay. Tbo

the legisloturo will bo held hero in Lcmlon. "
Attention was somewhat diverted for n
time by the proposition to run an excursion
to Cumberland Gap tomorrow. Suddenly 1n
the evening Governor Taylor's message re
calling the legislature was received. In
stantly the scene changed. Tbo Intelligence
was quickly circulated , but was received
with incredulous astonishment. This was
soon dispelled , however , by a telegra-m 'from
Adjutant General Collier to Captain Powers

WASHINGTON" , Feb. 10. A resolution ex
pressing sympathy with the Boers In their
struggle against Great Britain , and urging
mediation on the part of the United States
between the belligerents was adopted by the
senate today In a fit of temporary aberration
of attention. The resolution was offered by
Allen and went through without attract
ing the slightest cunment from any one of
the dozen or more senators present.
That the United States of America ex
tends HH sympathy to the people of the
South African republic in the. heroic
struggle for liberty nnd popular govern
ment and that the senate believes it to bo
the duty of the United States of America
to offer mediation , to the end that further
bloodshed may bo averted nnd tin honor
able. peace may be concluded between the
belligerent governments.
A minute later at tbo request of the chair
( Fryo ) Allen consented to a reconsideration
of the vote by which the resolution was
passed , nnd the Incident passed with much
quiet laughter.
The financial debate was continued by
Chandler of Now Hampshire , who opposed
the gold standard and strongly urged the
double standard. Chllton of Texas and
Money of Mississippi also spoke.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. The third day

Harriet Taylor Upton on credentials and
Miss Elnora M. Uabcock on the press. Miss
Uabcock Is national superintendent of press

Newspapers ; nil over the country accept
suffrage matter and 32,800 articles were sent
out last year. Miss Dabcock says articles in
opposition are of Incalculable benefit to the
suffrage movement.

ilt Is probable that upon the final adjust

have a heavy credit on his sldo of the

salary allowed for Iho Pretoria consulate
compared with the heavy expense of living
In that pirrt of the world. It Is probable
that Adolbert Hay , the present consul , al

NEW YOIIK , Feb. 10. After deliberating
seven and a half hours the juiy returned a
verdict of guilty of murder In the first < ! ? -
grcu against Roland 1) ) . Molluoux , charged
with tbe murder of Mrs. Kathcrlnc J. Adams
by poison on December IS , 1SOS.
Dartow S. Weeks , counsel for the defense ,
made the usual motion and Recorder Golf
adjourned court until February 1C , wben he
said he would hear the motion and sentence
the defendant.
From the time the jury went out at 3:1" : ;
p. m. the crowd in the court room watched
tlu > door through which they had left the
room in silent expectancy. The jurors came
in shortly after 9 o'clock to ask for exhibits
of hand.vrltlng and again nt 10:30 : they came
in for Instructions. Fifteen minutes later
.thero was no doubt that the jury had agreed
Court officers shouted for silence. Doors
were locked and the gray-haired clerk of the
court took his scat belowthc recorder's bench.
General Mollneux sat with a glassy look aild
his hands folded in front of him , trembling
slightly. There was a hush. The jurors
walked to their chairs between a double flic
of court olllcera. There was no sign of cheer
in any of their faces. As soon as they had
taken tbelr scats a deputy sheriff brought
Mollneux from the prison.
MoHiicti.v'N Creat Xervc.
There was no sign of apprehension on the
young man's face. His step was light and
springy and he smiled as If he had not a
care In the world. Then he sat down , looked
for -moment straight at the recorder's
bench and then whispered to Weeks , who
wan showing signs of nervousness. A mo
ment later tbe recorder entered.
General Mollneux sat with his hands
clasped In front of him on the table. IIi. %
face never lllnched as the clerk asked :
"What is your verdict ? "
"Wo find the defendant guilty of murder
in the first degree. "
As the words were spoken the bell In the
flro house nearby struck 11 o'clock. H
sounded like the tolling of a church bell
for the dead. Mollnux hardly moved.
Hlr neck stiffened a little and he straight
ened his back. General Mollneux reached
his hand to his son's shoulder and pressed
It hard , Mollneux put his own hand on
hlr. father's shoulder and stood without
further movement while his counsel asked
tfcat the Jury be polled.
The recorder asked If counspl had any re
quest to make.
"It will bo necessary to raako some formal
motion , " said Weeks.
"Tho term has "
already been extended ,
raid the recorder , "and wo can extend It
further for the purpose. I will hear the
motion nnd sentence the prisoner on Friday
next. Remove the defendant. "

low the deputy sheriff to the prison. As ho
left hln scut General Mollneux said to hltr.
In tones loud enough to be heard by all :
"Keep up your nerve , " and the prisoner re
plied with n smile. "Yes , don't be afraid. '
Mollnctix's mother and wife , unable to
boar the strain of waiting , had left the court
room soon after the jury went out.
\Vccko asked on behalf of General Moll
neux that the latter bo permitted to visit
his son and the recorder made an exception
in this case and granted permission. .
Crowd Wildly ClircrN I'rl-toiicr.
A tremendous crowd waited lu the ror-
rldors of the court room and about the build
ing until after the return of the verdict
and when Mollneux was brought out by the
deputy sheriff somebody called for "three
cheers for Mollneux , " and a remarkable
demonstration , with great cheering , fol
lowed.
Many women were In the crowd and took
part le the demonstration. It seemed to
please Mollneux , for he smiled and bowed
and all the way through the great crowd
that pressed around him he had occasion to
smllo and bow a number of times , for the
cheers were repeated again and again. There
were cnlls of "Cornish" also , but the cheers
for Mollneux overtopped these cries.
Regarding the verdict Assistant District
Attorney Osborne said : "I am confident that
'
the verdict will stand. Upon the presenta-
| lion of the case as furnished moby thu
l police department there could not have been
any other verdict. "
Mollneux's counsel would eny nothing
about the verdict.
| The announcement of the verdict of guilty
was received in the uptown districts and
, about the clubs apparently with great sur
prise. Many of the clubmen seemed to be
staggered by the announcement and It was
the main topic for discussion for the night.
It is said the trial has cost $200,000.
