THE KENTUCKY MIDDLE.
The Official Canvass Has Been Postponed
Until Monday,

Frankfort, Ky. Dec. 1.-The post
ponment of the official canvass of Ken
tucky's gubernatorial vote until Mon
day has, for the time being at least,
cooled the surcharged political atmos-
phere in q very perceptible manner.
1t is not likely now that there will be
any developments until the meeting of
the election commissioners. Although
the candidates for governor are in
town, they are keeping quiet and their
friends are following their examples.
There is a deeply settled belief among
both democrats and republicans that
the commissioners will not turn the
matter over to the legislature. but will
surely issue a certificate to either Goe-
bel or TAYLOR. If it is given to the
former it is possible that the matter
may end there. as many of the con-
ion that in view of the strong demo-
cratic majority in the legislature it
will be practically useless for the re-
publiCans to look for anything in that
quarter.
If the certificate goes to Taylor it is
certainly probable that the matter will
be taken to the legisla ture. where Goe-
bel may finally win out. The republic
ans, however. are by no means a unit
for 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. Governor Brad
ley has evidently made up his mind
that somebody will r,cei re 4 certificate
of election, for he was busily engaged
all day in packing UP his private prop
erty in the state house preparatory to
a return to private life.
''They are making my last days my
hardest days said he, but ! guess
there will be 10 trn;l olt. There are too
many sensible men on both sides to al-
low 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
1t is not likely that the election COM
mssoners will finish their work before
Tuesday afternoon.

ton of Feb. 49, at the time the troops
were returning from the funeral of

laid his sword hand on M. Deroulde.

UTMOST PRECAUTIONS
Taken to Prevent the Introduction of the !
Plague Into New York.

Plague Into New York.
New York, Dec DIR Doty gave out
the following statement in relation to the
detained steamer j. w. Taylor tonight
- have heretofore refused to give any
decision concerning the steamer until all
the coffee was discharged and the final:
disinfection complete. An inspection OF
the vessel shows that the disinfection was
thorough and complete Owing. however.
to the fact that bubonic plague may be
transmitted by rats and other vermin
which might escape the germcdes used
by fleeing to other parts not undergoing
disinfection at the same time I deem it
proper to keep the TAYLOR under my su-
pervision at quarantine, where she will be
loaded from lighters before sailing from
the port.
II am satisfied that in this way every
precauton has been taken to protect the
public health. Hereafter all vessels ar
rving from Santos, whether there is in
fectious disease among the crew or not
will be subjected to the same precaution.
The cargo will be fumigated in the hold
discharged into lighters and held in the
open air for eight days from the time of
removal. The vessel, after discharging
the cargo will be kept until supervision
of the health officers and loaded in the
stream before sailing

Wants More Marines.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Captain Leary,
the naval governor of the Island Of
Guam, wants an additional force of
marines. The few men he has at
command now are but an insignificant
force, compared with the 1000 popula-
tion on the island. and while there are
no signs of trouble just now it is re-
garded as the part of prudence to have
a sufficient force of marines at hand
to make any attempt at disorder help
less at the beginning.
