SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.

PoStponement of the omeial Canvass
Of tho Vote Until Monday Has
Cooled Matters Down -Rspubli-
cans Arc Confident of Seating Tay-
lor.
FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 1.-The
postponement of the oficlal canvass Of
Rentucky's gubeFnatoripl' vote until
Monday. has for the tin,e being, at
least, cooled the surcharged political
atmosphere in very perceptible mnn-
ner. 1t Is not likely now that there
win be developments until the meet-
Ing Of the election commissioners. AL
though the candidates for governor are
in town. they are keeping quiet and
their friends are emulating their ex-
ample. There ls no talking. save in the
direction Of surmise, regarding the pos
slble action Of the commissioners on
Monday.
There is deeply settled belief among
both Democrats and Republicans that
the commissioners will not turn the
matter over to the legislature, but VIII
surely issue certificate to either Goe-
bel or Taylor. II 1t is given to the for-
mer, Il Is possible that the matter may
end there, as many Of the conservn-
tive Republicans are Of the opinion
that in view Of the strong Democratic
majority in the legislature II Will be
practically useless for the Republicans
10 look for anything In th1t quarter II
the certificate goes to Taylor, II is a
certainty that the matter will be taken
TO the legislature. where Goebel may
finally win out. The Republicans how
ever, are by no means a unit In favor
OF abandoning the fight at the door OF
the legislature. Some Of them are We
hement IN their assertions that they
will not abandon the figh, until there Is
no possible chance OF Taylor being gov
ernor of the state. Governor Bradley
has evidently made. up his mind that
somebody viii receive certificate OF
election, for he was busily engaged all
day In packing up his private property
in the state house, preparatory to a re-
turn to private life.
"They are making my last days my
hardest days" he said, but guess
there will be no trouble. There are too
many sensible men on both sides 70
prevent anything Of that kind. ! really
don't see how anything can be done to
keep Mr. Taylor from the chair. He
Will go in all right"

as a Threat Against Franco, Which

the PTospect Of Triple Alliance.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-some OF the news
papers attach Considerable Importance
to the utterances OF Joseph Chamber
lain at Leicester yesterday and consider
that they ahow that Emperor williams
visit to England was partially political.
The majority, however, characterize
certain Of Mr. chamberlain's dsclara-
tions as empty threats and regard the
suggestion OF an alliance between Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many as simply eccentric

SUSPENSE IN LONDON

At Lack Of News From the Front-Tt
Seems Certain That Lord Methuen
Has Received Rslnforcemsnts Of
Cavalry and ARTILLERY.
LONDON, Dec. ?. $3.50 a. m,-Absolute
silence has fallen over affairs in South
Africa. The war once has not yet re-
celved Lord Methuen's casualty list.
The public and the press, hitherto pa
tIent, are beginning to murmur at the
apparently needless delay which Keeps
many families in a state Of painful sus-
pense.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Lord Mcthuen has been reinforced
by half q battalion OF the Gordon High
landers, a regiment Of cavalry and a
battery of artillery, and that De Aar is
being daily reinforced by troops to hold
the lines OF communication.
1t is supposed that the Natal advance
has been delayed by the necessity of
getting supplies to Pietermaritzburg;
but not word emanates from any Of
tho various commands,
Lieutenant General Sir Charles Mans
field Clarke, who. as already announced,
will command the sixth division. has
seen much service In South Atrlcn,
particularly in the Zulu aud subsequent
wars. He has also held n number of
high stan appointments at home and is
reputed to be a very capable officer.

SENATOR HANNA

May Not be Chairman of the Repub-

May Have Charge of the Finances.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. Dec. Con
cernIng the reports which have been in
circulation for several weeks past, to
tho eject that Senator Hanna would not
succeed himself as chairman OF the
national Republican committee, 1t can
be stated on the authority OF Mr., Ham
mas most itImnte friends, that he has
no desire to manage another campaign,
and that unless very strong pressure IS
brought to bear upon him he Will, In
all probability, decline to do so.
Notwithstanding the published state
ments that many leading Republicans
thrOughou. the country are opposed 70
Mr.. Hanas' appointment as chairman OF
the national committee, It Is known tnat
he is almost daily receiving from inhu-
entlal party leaders, representing prac-
tIcRlly all sections Of the country, let
ters 10 The efIect that he has their full-
est confidence and support, and urging
that he Is the strongest man available
for the place.
Mr. Hanna's closest friends, and In
decd. fhe members OF his own family
believe. however, that the condition OF
MS health is such that he should not
under any circumstances, assume the
responsibility OF managing another
presidential campaign.
II has been suggested that should Mt.
Hama decide not TO accept a reap.
poIntment as chairman, that he be made
n member OF the executive commltte,
having personal charge OF the campaign

This would, It Is pointed out, relieve
Mr.. Hanna OF the arduous duties de.

PRESIDENT COWAN

OF the B. & o., Says Rumors ABOUT
Sales, Etc, Are Not Worth Denial;
But Cooperation to Secure Fair
eturn on Investments is Desired.
BALTIMORE, Dec. l.-John X.
cowen, president Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company said last night
that he did not think the rumors about
sales, combinations, etc, were specitic-
ally worth denying. Continuing, he
said: "The time has come when the
competing railroads fully recognize the
disasters that eRsue by ruluous
scramble for business. Freight and
passenger tariffs are smashed and bus
mess is carried on in wildcat manner.
Mr.. Fink described the disturbance ere
nted by rate-cutting when he said that
the whole passenger tarift was disturb
ed In order to get passenger and
three-quarters of passenger out OF
louisville.
"The presidents OF the several COM
petlng railroads recognizing the aeces-
sity Of arriving at some plan by which
there could be fair return for Invest
ments in railroad property, and besides
that there has been an increased
price OF all articles used by railroads
without n corresponding increase In
rates, we decided on new classifca-
tlon of ratss-that Is. to transfer to the
CLASSIFIED list certain articles or COM
modltles on which a special or lower
rate has been placed than when those
articles belonged to the classified list.
For one reason or another, these COM
modities. which belong to what IS
known as the commodity list, have been
taken out OF the classified list. To re-
STORE these commodities to the classi-
fed list is cur object. and hence all Of
these rumors and nH this talk about
railroad sales, consultations, etc.
"Wlthln the last few months there
has been an advance In all articles
which enter into railroad equipment
and malntainence. Labor is higher. In
mi Of the increased business due to the
prosperous times, the railroads have
derived no other advantage than an in-
crease in the volume of business. There
has been no increase in rates to meet
the increase in expenses.
IL am thoroughly convinced that TINS
era OF prosperity will continue and that
the railroads-that is investors in rail-
road property-wlll, under the arrange
ment we propose, secure their share Of
The prosperity"

Wheeling, w. Va, and Harry Forbes, Of

The men fought at catehweights, and
Gardner probably weighed 122 pounds,
while Forbes scaled about 11s. Gardner's
hands were apparently in poor shape.
and were heavily bandaged. but he
forced the fighting In every round, play
ing principally for Forbes ribs with his
right. Forbes, however more than
held his own, and put Gardner down
suuarely In the sixth round with a right
flush on the chin. Gardner also went
to the floor in the first round. but II
was not clean knock-down.
Forbes was sent down in the NTH with
left on the chin. The fighting was
fast and furious In the last round. with
Forbes having the better OF the eX-
changes, but Gardncr's blows had more
steam behind them. and Forbes was
rather tired at the close.
