pollution of rivers. That running wa

space in which to do so, is attested

would be drinkable now, after the mil
lions of years during which all the i'm
purities OF the worlds animal, vege-
table and mineral decay have found
their way into them; but, all the same,

The Situation in Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. THE
Goebel election law is all that
stands in the way of a peaceful
settlement in Kentucky. Late last
night republican Governor Taylor
and several of his strongest supporters
we're in secret session in the executive
building and it is expected the outcome
will be Taylor's signature to the peace
agreement drawn up at Louisville. Tay-
Tor has said that if certain concessions
were made no personal ambition OF his
would stand in the way of settlement.
Ex-Governor Bradley is expected here
by noon, and it is thought Taylor will
give his decision after q conference with
Bradley. SeDator-elect Black burn SAYS
be is confident Taylor will sign. II Tay-
loi accepts, the programme of seating
Bsckham next Monday will be peace
fully carried out, the legislators will be
recalled from London, and the militia
will be sent home. Indications point to
the early announcement OF the candi-
dacy OF p. Watt Hardin for the demo
cratic nomination for Governor at the
speci i election next November. His
friends say his nomination would unite
Kentucky democrats quicker than any
other move that might be made,
Legally, William Goebel did not die
governor of Kentucky. Therefore L.
gally Beckhsm has no title to the office.
Attorneys on beth sides agree that the
act OF the democratic legislators by in
formal resolution declaring Goebel gov.
ernOr was not legal.
But under the agreement between
democratic and republican leaders, the
right OF the legislature to ratify the act
by which Goebel was declared governor
is acknowledged and granted. The
asse mbly will undoubtedly legalize the
act which will also make Beck bans title
legal.
