Taylor Gets the Certificate.

If the certificate goes 10 Taylor ii Is
certain that the matter will he taken
20 the legislature. where Goebel may
finally win out. The Republicans, how
ever. are by no means IL unit i'll favor
of abandoning the fight at the door OF
the legislature. Some of them are
vehement in their assertions that they
will not abandon the fight until there
iS no possible chance of Taylor being
governor of the state.

pOnemeut of the official canvass of
kentucky's gubernatorial vote from to-
day until Monday has for the time be-
ing. at least. cooled the Surcharged
political atmosphere in very per-
ccptible manner. 1t is not likely now
that there will be any developments
until the meeting of the election com
miSsionerS. Although the candidates
for governor are in town they are
keeping quiet and their friends are
cmulating their example. There is no
talking save in the direction of SurmiSe
regarding the possible action of the
commissioners on Monday. There is
Il deeply settled belief among both
Democrats and Republicans that the
commissioners will not turn the matter
over TO the legislature. but will surely
issue Il certificate to either Goebel or
Taylor. If il is given to the former it
is possible that the matter may end
there. as many of the conservative Re
publicanS are of the opinion that in
view of the strong Democratic ma
jOrity in the Legislature il Will be prIc-
tically useless for the Republicans 10
look for anything in that quarter.

AN ACCIDENTAL pl.cHARcp.


An "UnlOnded" Gun Went or and In.
jurcd n Lady.
As the result Of an accidental discharge
OF pistol yesterday morning, Mrs. Cora
Worey. who resides with her two children
at the home of Mrs. Mary Gentry At No
1903 Franklin, received a severe scalr
wound. The weapon was In the hands OF
]. D. Reid. a young street car conductor
who has a room in the boarding house OF
Mrs. Arnold. which is next door to the
Gentry residence. He was cleaning the
gun and, being under the impression that
all Of the cartridges had been removed,
snapped 1t several times for the purpose
OF testing the lock- The result was the
explosion OF a she'll which had been left
in the cylinder. The bullet struck Mrs.
Worley. who was sitting in the kitchen of
her home, in the head and she fell to the
floor with blood streaming down her face
The other ladies in the house became
greatly alarmed and their screams aroused
the neighborhood. Every one supposed
that an attempt to murder Mrs. Morley
had been made, and as result police off,
GERS were sent for In the meantime, how
eNsi' WI. neiu, having oiscoVereu tne Tee
suit OF his carelessness, and Judging by
the screams that he had killed some one,
went to the station and gave himself up
He was released as soon. as the facts in
the case were gotten at and after Mrs.
Worley had been given melAll assistance.
The bullet inflicted OILY scalp wound,
which, while very painful, will not be
serious. Reid called on the injured lady
and offered to do everything In his power
to compensate her in anyway for the in
jury inflicted by him.

Yukon and Cape Nome trade next season.
lust now 1t announces the steamers Santa
Anna and Lakme, and by the time the
season opens 1t will have at least one and
probably two vessels under charter. Judge
w. D. Wood, president of the company,
recently returned from an extended tour
OF the Yukon and Cape Nome, having
made special arrangements looking to an
enlargement of his company's business
in the latter district, which he regards as
rich and greater in extent than the Kion-
dixie.
The Pacific Steam Whaling Company Is
another newcomer In the Yukon Cape
Nome field. Heretofore this company has
confined itself to Southeastern Alaska and
the Arctic regions. occupying the latter
feld of course as whalers, but 1t now pro-
puses to be heard from as a carrier to and
from the new American diggings.
The vessels OF the company advertised
for Cape Nome are the Valencia. Jeanne.
Excelsior and Thrasher. Taxed to ITS full
CAPACITY. this fleet could. should the bust
ness warrant II, carry during the Cape
Nome season probably $500 passengers
and 20 GOO tons OF freight. The Jeanie and
Thrasher have for several years past been
engaged in the whaling trade about Point
Barrow, while the valencia Is q compare

Another thing that II causing local

the fact OF the governments past policy
Of permitting British bottoms to carry
American goods into American territory.
This ID q source OF no small amount OF
complaint on the part OF the American
companies. Their contention IL that they
arc brou6ht Into direct competitien with
Canadian and British tramp steamers, which
cannot md living business In their own
country. Towards the close Of the Cape
Nome season the Canadian steamer Alpha
was permitted to sail from the British port
OF Vancouver, carrying American goods
and American passengers to American
cape Nome. The goods were sent In bond,
OF course. across that section of British
Columbia necessary to reach vancouver.
having been purchased In Seattle and 9TH
er American cities.
,This form Of competition has also been
d source Of irritation and annoyance to
American steamers engaged in Lynn canal
trade. Vancouver and Victoria have. since
the discovery of the Klondike, been carry
ing American passengers and British goods
from those ports to Lynn canal towns and
across Americah territory into the British
Canadian part of tho Yukon.
