FRANKFORT. KY. Feb. 5.-The var
clouds seem to be lifting. At the sol,eita-
tion Of the TayIorites Senator Blackburn
and some or the Democratic attorr eys went
TO Louisville this morning to hold con-
ference with the Republican Lieutenant
Governor. Marshall. and the attorneys Of
that side. The object is to reach an
agreement whereby peaceful settlement
may be effected One Of the terms Of the
representatives is that Taylor and his par
tisans now ba-ricaded in the State House
be permitted to withdraw without having
afterward to face criminal prosecution as
insurrecdonists and participants in the
conspiracy to assassinate Mr.. Coebel.
State Senator Utley, a Democratic lead
er, declares the Democrats will never
agree TO this. we are going to hang
Taylor and his entire gang as the murder
ers Of Mr. Goebel," said Utley. Il don't be-
lieve Senator Blackburn will entertain the
agreement the Taylorites have proposed,
and if he should, it would be repudiated.
The courts will get after Taylor and his
assassins as soon as the civil authority
is re-established in the State"
The city is filling up with farmers and
other country people, who have flocked
here to participate in the county court
session OF today. The provost guard has
been Withdrawn from the streets for fear
Of a clash between the soldiers and the
countrymeh. There is not much fear OF
an outbreak. The arsenal, early this
morning was manned with a battalion OF
militiamcn from the camp in the State
House yard. The arsenal is on a hill over
locking the city.
Some Of its guns are now trained on the
Capitol Hotel where the Democratic Lead
ers are congregated. Two light calibre
cannons were shipped into the city last
night and have been wheeled over 10 the
State House yard. Nobody claims to know
where they came from. The scnunels will
let nobody but a few Of Taylor's close
friends pass into the State House yard this
morning. Taylor will not even talk 10
newspaper men over the telephone. 1t is
reported that he has collapsed from
nervous prosuation. When l last saw him,
ldSl EllAd9 tNtHlubr i WdH tuuN lANlA uc
was insane
The Democratic section OF the Legisla-
ture met in a room Of the Capitol Hotel
at noon and adjourned for lack OF a quo
rum. The Legislators were not molested
by Taylor soldiers, despite reports to the
contrary last night.
1t is wildly rUmOred that as a result
OF the conference now going on in Louis
Vile. Taylor will rescind his order con-
vening the Legislature at London and per-
NIT the fun Assembly to meet here after
Mr.. GOebel's funeral. However. this may
depend upon the Democratic conferees
granting Taylors request for protection
from criminal prosecution.
II seems 10 have been definitely decided
that Judge Cantrill on next Thursday will
vacate his temporary restraining order so
the Democrats can Immediately take it to
the Court Of Appeals and there have the
order made permanent The Court OF Ap-
peals will DO this not later than Saturday
and then the process will be placed in the
hands OF Sheriff Suter for service.
Mr.. GOebeTs body will be taken from
Frankfort to Covington on a special train
at o'clock this evening and be brought
back Wednesday evening for burial
