Frankfort, Ky, March 14.-The si,u-
alton at Frankfort shows a radical i'm,
provement from that of twenty-foul
hours ago. Public excitement. worked
UP to the highest pitch by the arrests
of Secretary of State Powers, Capt.
Davis and the others accused or COM
plicity in the assassination Of Gov.
GOebel. and by rumOrs among the Re-
publicans that hastily organized militia
of Gov. Becklam was to attempt to
take possession of the state buildings
or arrest Gov. Taylor. and among the
Democrats that the state militia would
attempt to arrest Gov. Beckhanl. died
away almost entirely when it became
evident that neitacr side had any in
tentiOn of initiating hostilties. Never
theless great u:leasincSS still exists,
especially an;cng the Republicans.
Democratic leaders dO not deny the re-
ports that further arrests will he made
in connection with the Goebel aSsas-
sination. which one prominent Demo
crat said might also include some anti
Goebel Democrats. and already several
Republican members of the legislature
have left Frankfort, presumably to
avoid arrest Rumors in regard to the
arrests included not only the name OF
Gov. Taylor and Republican members
of the legislature. but that of Aljt.
Gen. Collier as well. No warrant has
been issued for Gen. Collier as yet,
however. In the service of further
warrants lies one of the critical points
Of the situation. as several Republican
members of the legislature have openly
expressed their intention OF resisting
f.
tempt to arrest Gov. Taylor at present
would in all probability be attended
with consequences
Unplcasant to Contemplate.
Gov. Taylor has been urged by several
Republican leaders to remove the seat
of government to London for the pres
ent, where he would be safer from
possibility of arrest. but it is under
stood he has refused to take such ac-
ton and will remain at Frankfort
until the federal courts have finally
passed upon the disputed govcrnorship.
The developments Of the next twenty
four hours will probably settle things
one way or the other. as the legislature
has but that much longer to live. ana
with peaceful final settlement and q
departure of the legislators, much
pressure will be removed.
Absolutely nothing occurred during
the day to create excitement. Never
theless both sides took further precau-
tons to guard their ineres:s. A CONFER
encc was held during the day between
Gov. Beckham. Mayor Delony OF
Frankfort and Sheriff Suter, and
shortly aftcrward Sheriff Suter swore
in TWENTY-FIVE extra deputies and
Mayor Dehony fifty special policemen
members of the militia company or
ganized yesterday. These men Will DC
used to ''preserve the peace until after
the present crisis is past" as Sheriff
Suter expressed it.
Both houses of the legislature met at
the usual hour and transacted conslo-
erable business of q routine nature.
Rumors that the legislature was not 10
be allowed to meet at the state mousse
drew a large crowd around the capltol
grounds before their closing sessions,
but only the usual guard was present
in the square and no attempt was
made to prevent the legislature from
assembling.
Goebelx Remains Laid to Rest.
Frankfort, Ky.. March 14.-The body
of William Goebel. late Democratic
contestant for the governorship OF
Kentucky, was late. yesterday after
noon taken from the chapel of the
Frankfort cemetery. where it has been
under guard for over a month: ana Just
as the sun was sinking behind the hills
in the west, lowered into the grave
In the presence of the members OF the
legislature, his two brothers, Arthur
and Justus Gcebel. and Il few hundred
neonle of Frankfort, the body Of the
Democratic leader was consigned to its
final resting place. The ceremonies
attendant on the burial were exceed
ingly simple.
