[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service
Frankfort, Feb. 10.-It may be said
that Governor Taylor came within a
hairs breadth, last night, of signing
the Louisville peace agreement, without
any modification. Adjutant General
Collier weakened and urged Taylor to
sign it, thus bringing to an immediate
close the fight between the Democrats
and Republicans of Kentucky, outside
of the courts. Collier explained his
change of front by saying that as Tay-
lor had declared he would abide by the
decision of the courts, there was moth
ing left for him to do but to sign the
agreement.
Taylor was between two fires. last
pleading with him and demanding that
he sign the agreement, and the others
that he should hold out and not sign.
Coatless, Taylor nervously walked up
and down the executive office with the
divided forces Of the party pulling at
him. He was pulled at all night, but
but at the beginning Of the day he had
not signed, neither had any Democrat
legislators been arrested, although it
was reported that soldiers left London
and Frankfort for Louisville to bring
them in.
Although Taylor had not signed, it
seems this morning as If the end of the
political struggle is in sight. Taylor
has ordered Adiutant General Collier
to send home the Barbourville militia
now stationed at London. Golfers
assistants are making arrangements to
send the two companies of the two
regiments here home today. In fact,
by night there will be few soldiers in
the city If trains can be secured to take
them away.
Sometime today Taylor will issue a
proclamation reconvening the assembly
in the Capitol building in this city,
probably next Monday. He will say that
there no longer exists state Of insur-
rection or danger in Frankfort, giving
that as a reason for sending the SOL
diers away and reconvening the assem-
bly,. Taylor is resigned to the fact that
the courts must settle the election
trouble. He thinks it is foregone con-
clusion that the courts of Kentucky
would hold that the legislature acted
legally when it seated Goebel and Beck
ham.
Taylor urges upon the enlargement
faction of the Republicans that by
signing the agreement he would secure
| an honest election law instead of the
Goebel law. Whereas. if he does not
sign' the Republicans may be thrown
out without getting anything in COM
pensation. A final conference, at which
settlement will be reached, was sched-
9.sd for the executive building today.

FACTIONS QUARREL.

Frankfort, Feb. 10.-It is said that
Iayior would not accept the immunity
clause In the agreement, for the reason
that he declared that there was no oc-
casion for such thing in his case.
Iaylor Is trying to avoid a rupture in
ms party over the agreement. Already
there has been one stormy scene In
which more than one party leader,
pointing to certain other leaders, used
such expressions as You're a coward"
You don't know your mind longer than
minute at time" you're dead
ducks In the party" etc.
FLATLY REFUSED.
Frankfort, Feb. 1O-The Republicans
summoned by Taylor conferred In the
representatives chamber in the capitol
today. Taylor had about 1bO leaders
present. A number of speeches were
made. Shortly after o'clock II was
announced that TAYLOR had decided TO
natiy reruse to sign the Louisville
agreement. Now that Taylor has re-
tused to sign, his immediate plans are to
issue proclamation reconvening the
assembly at Frankfort and order the
soidiers nome, except enough to main
tain order.
When Taylor left the conference, the
Following resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That II is the sense of this
meeting that Governor Taylor should
not sign the agreement offered To him
IVY the Louisville conference, and that
reposing confidence in his ability and
sense OF duty, we are content to follow
his leadership after that refusal"

GIGANTIC ARMY
Being Ussd by England to
Conquer the Beers.
2l3,000 Men and 452 Guns Now in
the Field or Anoat,
Rumors that Gen. Butler Mas Re.cPossed n.
seIa 10 Relieve Ladysmith.

London, Feb. 2-4.3O A. M.-Mr.
Wyndham's remarkable declaration in
the House Of Commons, that Great
Britain will have, in fortnight, 18O, 900
regulars in South Africa, 1000 Canadi-
ans and Australians and $4,000 South
African volunteers, is received with
wonderment. OF this total Of $4,000
troops with ASH guns, all are now there
with the exception of about 1900 that
are afioat. Beyond comparison this is
the largest force Great Britain has ever
put in the field. At the end Of the
Crmean war she had scraped together
$4,000 men. Wellington had at Water
loo % 600
Mr.. Wyndhams speech was the
strongest defence the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done.
The general tone of the morning pa
pers is that his figures will astonish
the country. Roughly speaking only
$4,000 men are at the front. Ten thou
sand others have been lost and 10000
are shut up at Ladysmith.
Excluding these, there are 10000
troops who have not yet been in action
in addition to those at sea. Why SO
many electives have not yet been en-
gagged is explained by the lack of land
transportation and the organization of
supplies, to which Lord Roberts is de-
voting his experience and Lord Kitch-
ener his genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight of
these masses must destroy the equi-
librium which now holds the British
forces stationary wherever they are
in contact With the Boer army.
Lack Of transport and organization
Will not explain adequately why, when
generals at the front request reinforce
ments. they get them in rather small
numbers knowledge is slowly pene-
tratng TO London that large garrisons
must hc kept in Cape Colony TO hold
down the cane Dutch, who, as every
ore knows. outnumber the British
residents three to two.
cable scraps received during the last
II hours DO not further illuminate the
military op arations. Various indepen-
dent correspondents confirm the report
that Gen. Butler told his troops, jan
=. that he hoped to relieve Ladysmith
within a week. 1t is believed in some
trustworthy quarters that he is again
assailing the Boer lines.
A further list of casualties published
by the war office brings the total from
the crossing of the Tugela to the aban-
dcnment of Spion kop to 1885 officers
and men.
Exceptional activity at the navy
yards continues. but a correspondent
Of The Associated Press learns that
this is chiefly new construction and re-
fitting work. Three ships will be COM
missioned at Davenport. this month.
Some unpleasant criticism Of the war
office has been caused by the discovery
that the sights of the Lee-Enfield car
bines are defective. Old carbines have
been supplied to the outgoing 4th
Brigade of cavalry.
The only announcement regarding
fresh military preparations is the for
nation of three additional batteries.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Representative
Joseph Sibley of Pennsylvania. who
attained great prominence in the 54th
Congress by his earnest championship
of free silver. assailed his Democratic
colleagues. today. for their opposition
to expansion in a speech that made the
floor and galleries roar. Mr.. Sibley
has recanted his views on free silver
and is now generally out of line with
his colleagues on the Democratic side.
He insisted, today, that expansion was
an original Democratic doctrine pro-
mulgated by jefferson and adhered to
by Madison. Jackson. Tyler, Polk and
Buchanan. In eloquent language he
pictured the destiny Of the United
States carrying the arts of peace and
the story Of the cross to the remotest
corners Of the globe. Mr.. Sibley re-
ceived an impressive demonstration
when he closed.
The remainder Of the debate was I'M
interesting. 1t touched the questions
Of mediation in the Transvaal war,

law in Hawaii. Not much progress
was made with the Indian appropria-
ton bill, which was under considera-
ton.
