UNFAYORABLE DAY.
! FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 1-Governor
C;oebel passed an ,unfavorable day, al
| though he was fairly comfortable when
i night came on. He has half 4 dozen
| doctors around him, and the reports OF
his condition vary according to the last
physician who leaves his room. One
| doctor is confident that he will recover,
| and another generally allows him an
| hour or two before he breathes his last.
| His strength is maintained to a great eN-
|Etent by injections. He has had several
sinking spells out Z ofs-Y hIeh shez5Was
| brought with some difficulty. He seemed
| to rally less readily from each success
sive collapse, but held his own steadily
| through the afternoon. His kidneys have
| practically ceased their functions, and
slight symptoms of pneumonia have ap-
! peared, but have not as yet become so
! serious as to cause alarm in themselves.
| The doctors as q whole entertain no
| hopes of his recovery.
SIGNS OF PEACE.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. LA PROPOSE
| ton looking toward an aHlicab BILE adjust
! ment came, from the Republican side. T.
L. .E.delen. one of Governor Tayior's at
! tcrneys. appeared at the Capitol Hotel and
| held a conference with the legal advisers
| of the Democracy. MIR. Edelen declared
| that Governor Taylor and the Republican
party were anxious to avoid anything tha,
! might possibly lead to serious trouble.
l SUMB1T- TO The COURTS
He was assured by the Democratic attpr-
| neys that they were quite as anxious tc
| save any clash. Mr.. Edelen proposed tc
! submit the case Of the rival governors &C
| the Kentucky Court of Appeals. which, lf
| declared would probably decide against
| Governor Taylor. He then wanted the
| right to submit the matter to tha United
States Supreme Court for final settle
| rent.
The talk was informal. The lawyers
separated with an agreement to mee!
| again at 2 O clock in the afternoon.
| When they met for the second time Mr
| Edelen again submitted his proposition
| and received in reply that the Democratic
| attorneys desired to have the matter ad
! judica.sd in the State courts. To this Mr.
! Edelen objected, saying he wished The
/ final settlement in the Supreme Court a
! Washington.
] to concede the election and seating OF
| Goebel, which Mr.. Edelen declined to en-
/ tertain
/ The lawyers then separated, Mr.. Edelen
/ intinlating that it was possible he would
submit another proposition at some time
later. He was given to understand that
he would be met half way.
PAYMENT REFUSED.
Two direct sIaps were given Governor
| Taylor by public officers, who declined to
1 obey his orders. The first came from
1 the refusal of President Rodman, OF
/ the Farmers Bank, State depository, to
! pay some vouchers on the bank signed
/ by Governor Taylor, in favor OF some
| Of the militia officers. who wanted money
/ for their companies. President Rodman
!! said that he did not see how he could
/ pay out. the money on orders signed by
/ Governor Taylor until he knew for GER
]! tain who was the actual Governor Of
i Kentucky. He had asked an opinion from
| the attorney of the bank. he said, and
when it was received would act accord
inGly.
COULD NOT HONOR PARDON.
The second instance promised for a time
/ TO have serious consequence and trouble
/ may yet arise from it. Governor s4or
i issued a pardon to Douglass Hayes. a
convict in the Frankfort Penitentiary
