PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.
Situation in Kentucky Has Reached

Are Being Discussed.
BOTH SIDES THREATEN SERIOUS ACTS.
Gov. Bradley Is Preparing for TayiOr's
Inauguration by Getting the Militia In
Condition to Obey His Orders-GOebel
Men Said to Have Planted Arms In Com
mandIng Positions to Be Used If Needed

st. Louis, Nov. 9S.-A special to the
Globe-Democrat from Frankfort, KY.
says:
''The plans adopted by Gov. Bradley
for inaugurating W. S. Taylor gov
ernor on December IL have been fully
made and they are, in effect, as follows:
For the past two weeks the work of re-
organizing the state guard has been
going on. Objectionable men, officers
and companies have been mustered out
OF the service and men on whom the
governor can rely put in their places
New mem bers have been sworn in I'M
til 1t is believed a force of 8, 600 state
soldiers will be modified at Frankfort
on the day of Inauguration. There
will be three or more Calling gun bat
teries. Young men all over the state
are being selected to serve these places
There are several brass cannon at
the Frankfort arsenal, and these will
be brought into use, planted on Ar
sena1 hill, which overlools the city,
and especially the penitentiary, where
the Goebel men have already placed
number of arms for their fighters to
use on inauguration day. The govern
or will have at least one of the Calling
guns trained on the gates of the peni-
Tertiary, and the cannon on the hill
will be manned and ready to open fire
on the penitentiary at the least hostile
movement on the part of the men in
side.
1.-THE Calling gun will be supported
by a battalion. as will the cannon, so
that when the Goebel fighters make a
move toward the statehouse, where the
inauguration is to take place, they
will be under cross fire of artillery
and rifles. The statehouse will be
dOubly guarded, and guards will be
placed on every road leading into
Frankfort Railroad trains will be
stopped before they reach the city and
first examined by soldiers before al
lowed to proceed. Every other neces-
sary precaution will be taken.
''The Goebel men now say that since
the court of appeals has passed on the
question of the right of injunction,
which the court held to be power of
the lower tribunal, and refused to in
terfere in the execution of that power
in various election cases, they will now
proceed by injunction to prevent the
state board from counting votes as
certified from Jefferson, Johnson,
Knott, Lewis, Pike and several coun-
Ties giving republican pluraIlIleSs SUM
Gent to change the result. The Goebe1
men are said to have already made prep
arations for this line of procedure The
case will be appealed to the court of
appeals in case of decision either way.
There is a prospect for a lively time
in case Taylor is given the certificate,
as republicans declare he will be inau-
gurated December IL. Should the state
board fail to issue a certificate, Gov.
Bradley will hold over, it is said, until
the question is either settled in the
courts or the legislature.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The presi-

from him single expression as to the
vice presidential nomination next year.
So long as Vice President Hobart lived,
the president never discussed the ques-
ton of succession on the ticket, even
when it became plain that some one
else must be chosen. In the sense that
the president has manifested any de-
sire, it can be said that the secre-
tary of war, Mr.. Root, is the admins

Kansas Cattlemen Have a Protest.

Topeka, Kan. Nov. 2s.-A meeting
of cattlemen of the state will soon be
held at Emporia for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means of opposing the
action of the railroads in putting into
effect the rate per 100 pounds system
of collecting freight charges of cattle
instead of the old system of charging
by the carload. Cattlemen are greatly
stirred up over the proposed change
and bitter legal fight is probable
before the court of visitation or some
other judicial tribunal of the state.
