that the difficulties between the riva

Frankfort, February 1.--At the con-
ference Of Ex-Governor McCreary,
Judge w. S. Pryor, Louis McQuown
and other prominent attorneys, the
question of Mr. Taylor's legal right to
adjourn the legislatuer to meet at Lon
don was formally discussed The unan-
lmous opinion Of the attorneys was an
nounced by Mr.. McCreary, who said:
There is nothing in the constitution of
Kentucky to authorize the governor at
this hour and under existing circum-
stances to adjourn the general assem-
bly,, and every lawyer heard to express
an opinion regards his proclamation as
a gross usurpation. The constitution of
Kentucky fixes the date for regular ses-
sions of the general assembly and says
It's sessions shall be held at the seat of
government except in case of war, in
surrection or pestilence, when it may be
by proclamation by the governor as
sem'bled for the time being elsewhere.
The general assembly Is now in session,
and under the constitution can remain
in session sixty days; being in regular
session, the governor does not have to
convene the senator's and representa-
tives and fix places for their meeting,
and there is no war, insurrection nor
pestilence. In case of disagreement be-
tween the two houses with regard to
adjournment the governor may adjourn
them for not exceeding four months, be-
cause OF danger from any enemy or con-
tagious disease, but there must be a
disagreement between the two houses,
and power to convene the general as
smbly is not the power to adjourn it
when in session."
At 2:50 o'clock Attorney Edelen, Of
Taylors counsel, said all negotiations
between the Taylor and Goebel attor-
neys had been declared off, they not be-
ing able to agree on any Of the propo-
sitions considered
Boxes of ammunition are being de-
livered to Adjutant General Collier.
The hall at his Office is packed ceiling
high with cartridges. The greatest ac-
tivity prevails at the capitol grounds.
Blankets for soldiers are arriving, and
every evidence of protracted stay Is
apparent. The report that Lieutenant
Gray, os,the 1st regiment has resigned,
Is pronounced absurd by Con1mandant
Williams.
Washington, February 1.-President
Mckinley received a long message from
Gov. w. s. Taylor of Kentucky to-day.
Governor Taylor recites, at length the
situation, and declares he considers
himself the legally elected executive OF
the state, and asserts the condition of
affairs at the present time is critical
He says a riot may occur at any time
which will cause much bloodshed. Tay-
lor says he is doubtful If he has power
to control the situation, and appeals to
the president to end the matter and Sc
cure peace in the state by recognizing
him as the governor of Kentucky.
