THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Speculation About Goebers Next Move
Lost Nelson County Gaze.

Speculation About Goebers Next Move
Lost Nelson County Gaze.
FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 27.-Goebe!
and his managers were in conference
here. There was general impression
outside that some important move was
to be made by the Goebel side early thi,
week. and it was generally supposed
that mandatory injunction suit to pre-
vent the state election board from count
ing the vote of jefferson, Knox and
Johnson counties will be part of it,
though this was not confirmed by any
one in authority. 1t is thought doubt
full if Governor Bradley would recognize
Goebel as governor if given a certificate
of election by the state election board
unless Its sanction was in obedience to d
ruling of the court. In that event j.
was believed he would resist no further
but would advise Taylor to contest be,
fore the legislature.
The court of appeals Saturday
clinched Taylor's right to l,197 Nelsol
county votes, i'll that it unanimously re-
fused TO dissolve the injunction as asked
by Goebel's attorneys. The votes IL
controversy were certified for j. p, i'll
stead of w. S. Taylor. Judge Jone,
of Nelson county ordered these vote,
counted for w. S. Taylor, and thi:
order is affirmed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Seven of the
Republican caucus committee appointed
at the last session of congress to pre-.
pare general financial measure for re-.
port to the coming congress gathered at
prospective Speaker Henderson's rooms
at the Normandle hotel and informally
considered the bill prepared by the com.

summer. The members present were
Messrs. Henderson, Babcock, Morris

Mr.. Henderson does not look for any
essential changes in the bill, but says
the members are firm in the faith and
the purpose to push the measure at the
coming session. The committee is
waiting to have joint meeting with
the senate committee, if possible dur.
ing the coming week, before the Re.
publican caucus next Saturday night.

An OPEN DOOR TREATY
Talk of Powers Framing One
as to China.
DUE TO OUR REPRESENTATION.
Not Believed This Country Would BE
Party to Treaty. Owing to Opposition
at Home - Proposition Considered n
Feeler at Some of the Embassies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-In official
and diplomatic quarters much interest
was manifested in the plan put forward
in London cables of treaty among the
great powers defining spheres of infiu-
ence in China. That anything in the
shape of formal treaty to be made be.
tween the powers interested in the fut-
ure of China as to the outcome of the
gotiations now in progress, is not be.
heved here, though an understanding of
less formal nature is possible. These
negotiations followed the frank request
of Secretary Hay upon some of the gov
ernments which had already given him
verbal and informal assurance of the
continuation of all our treaty rights in
Chinese territory to have these agree
ments reduced to form.
1t was not regarded as necessary to
go beyond that point, and although 1t
frequently happens as the result OF ini-
tiating negotiations that the scope of
them is broadened far beyond anything
originally in contemplation, it is be-
heved that such will not be the case
now and that there Will be no necessity
for o general and formal treaty. 1t
any such convention so as to secure the
approval of the United States senate
without q protracted struggle, that
might disclose disagreeable weak
nesses in the government policies,
and besides the effort would be sure to
arouse opposition from the considerable
element In the United States which is
unalterably opposed to any sort of for
eign entanglements.
Of course this statement applies only
to the United States, and there could
be no objection on our part to the other
powers joining in treaty covering for
eign rights in China, provided there
was nothing in the agreement obnoxi-
GUS to our just and proper claims. On
the whole, having in view the highly
satisfactory utterances in the French
chambers of M. Delcasse, the French
minister of foreign affairs, respecting
| the maintenance of the "open door" in
| China, there is felt in official quarters
| to be reason for expecting q successful
| outcome of the negotiations on this sub.
| ject opened by the United States.
At some of the foreign establishments
| the proposition was considered q
"feeler," resulting from the recent in.
| quiries made by the American govern
ment as to the attitude of the great
powers. Other influential members Of
the diplomatic corps pointed out tha,
the plan was the logical oonsummatior
of the scheme initiated between Russia
and Great Britain, where spheres of IN
fluence would be defined. The Chimes,
legation views the proposition as purely
conjectural, and the Chinese minister
Mr.. WI Ting Fang, when his attention
was directed to the matter, regarded /
as preposterous.

Warte, which prints Boer communlca,,
tions, announced Sunday, before lt could
have been ascertained from BRUSH
sources, that the naval brigade lost lOU
men at Gras Pan and that the Ninth
Lancers were captured.
1t was understood that the govern
ment decided to proceed Immediately
with the mobilization and embarkatlon
of q sixth division of 10000 men under
a well known lieutenant general.
General Hiiyard's achievement at
Bacon hill was beginning to be recog'
nized as one of the best things the
campaign had yet shown, as 1t had re-
ieved the tension OF the situation IN
Natal and had brought the relief OF
Ladysmith within measurable distance.
General Butler appeared to be conf
dent of Lord Methuen's ability and was
anpareutly devoting time To Ladysmlth.
An attempt will be made presumably
to reach Colenso in time to cut off the
retreat of the Beers from Weenen over
the Tugela river. 1t was feared, how
ever, that the enemy will get there first
and destroy the bridge. At Frere
bridge the British found two massive
spans utterly wrecked by dynamite, one
piece weighing 224 pounds having been
hurled 200 yards.
Sir Alfred Miner warned the various
relief committees in Cape Town to be
prepared for the arrival of 10000 retu'
gees from Kimberley as soon as the
siege has been raised.
According to a dispatch from De Aar
dated Sunday, the Beers had destroyed
the bridge at Steynsburg the previou:
day and were being reinforced at that
