PEACE IN KENTUCKY.
Democrats Triumph In the Struggle for
Mastery OF the State.

The warning factions in Kentucky
have reached an agreement. The Dem
ocrats gained nearly every point they
contended for, and the Republican rep
resentatives, Lieutenant-Governo John
Marshall, General Dan Lindsey and
Attorney David Fairleigh, gave assur-
ances that the agreement would be ac-
cepted by Governor Taylor
The agreement provides that in order
to leave no question as to the title OF
William Goebel and J. c. w. Beckham
to the offices of governor and lieutenant
governor, respectively, the general as
sembly shall pass resolution in joint
assembly validating the acts on the
subject since the legislature has been
prevented by troops from holding its
regular sessions at Frankfort AS soon
as the legislature does this, Beckham's
title to the Office of governor is not to
be questioned.
The Democrats grant immunity to
Governor Taylor and his associates
from prosecution for treason, usurpa-
tiou of office or contempt of court for
what has been done since the shooting
of Goebel.
The Republican legislature is to be
withdrawn from London Immediately
and no filibustering or other attempt
of this character is to be resorted to by
the Republicans to obstruct the carry
ing ont of this agreement in the legis

The Beers have taken the initiative

blizzard East of the Rockies.

A blizzard ragged over Colorado and
adjoining states Wednesday. 1t was
especially severe in New Mexico, where
the mercury is near zero, and about six
inches of snow has fallen. The storm
is the worst ever experienced at Sprin-
ger, where there was drop of rs de-
graes in as many minutes.
Lamar and Trinidad, Colo, report
zero weather, and the sudden change
from almost summer weather, which
has prevailed for the last two months,
causes considerable suffering to stock.
1t is not expected that results will be
serious, however Railways are being
interfered with to some extent. The
mercury registers 10 above in Denver
The coolest weather is reported from
Sheridan Lake, Colo, where the mer-
curry was a degrees below at 10 p. M,
and still falling Stockmen in thai
vicinity are very anxious about Their
cattle.
The storm was general all over Ne.
braska, and street car traffic was
stopped in Omaha. Little snow fell
however, and no serious damage is ex.
pected.
Kansas and the Dakotas were also
storm-swept. The con, itions are gen
orally the same, light q : fall, higt
wind and low temperature.
