ALL TROUBLE IS ABOUT ENDED
Legislature Will Meet in Frankfort and Confirm Former Action - Taylor Probably Influenced by Tele-
 gram from Senator Deboe

Louisville, Ky, February 5.-If the agree ment drawn up tonight at the conference of representatives of the republican and democratic administrations, held at the Galt house in this city, is accepted and carried out the strife which has rent Ken lucky from end to end for the past few weeks will be ended. The agreement was reached shortly after midnight and ar- arrangements were immediately made to have it drawn up and signed. This was slow work, however, and it was after 2 o'clock when the conferees separated The democrats gained nearly every point they contended for, and the republican represen- tatives, Lieutenant Governor John Mar shall, General Daniel Lindsey and Attorney David Fairleigh gave assurance that the agreement would be accepted by Governor Taylor tomorrow.
 The agreement provides in order to leave no question as to the title of William Goebel and J. c. w. Beckham to the offices
 
 spectively, that the general assembly shall pass a resolution in joint assembly validat- Ing the acts on that subject since the legis- lature has been prevented by troops from holding it's regular session at Frankfort.
 As soon as the legislature does this Beck hams title to the office of governor is not to be questioned. The democrats grant im- munity to Governor Taylor and his associ- ates from prosecution for treason, usurpa- Hion of office or contempt of court for what has been done since the shooting of Goebel. These matters are to be held in abeyance until newt Monday. The republican legisla- lure is to be withdrawn from London im- medately and no filibustering or other at tempts of this character is to be resorteo Ito by the republicans to obstruct the car- irving out of this agreement in the legisia- ture.
 Guard VIII be Left
 Tine democrats suggested that in view Of fhe great crowds expected in Frankfort during the Goebel ceremonies the soldiers should be withdrawn.
 The republicans asked that an adequate guard be left to protect Governor Taylor and his associates.
 It was finally agreed to leave ito General Dan Lindsey, one of the republican con Heroes, the decision as to how many troops should be left to prevent a clash at the Goebel funeral the republicans ito begin at once tIhe withdrawal of troops from Frank fort
 It was agreed that the board of election commissioners sitting as a contest board should be allowed to meet at Frankfort without molestation, the democrats agree ing that no summary action be taken on Hhese contests, and that nothing be done without due nearing of evidence and argu- ment.
 The republicans asked that some provis- ion for a repeal or modification of the Goe- bel election law be included in the agree ment. The democrats agreed that to two Heading republicans and two leading demo- crats should be left tne matter of suggest ing changes in the Goebel law.
 The accordance of this agreement by the principals is the only element of uncer- tainty now remaining in the situation.
 Naturally there is objection from the democrats, and the attitude of Governor Taylor waill be known tomorrow.
 How accurately the republican conferees represent Governor Taylor or how neces- eary the latter's acquiescence is to the car rying out of the plans agreed upon to- might can only be determined by the events of the next twenty-four hours.

 1t Is probable that the republican policy was materially influenced by the following telegram:
 Washington, D. C., February 4. ''Hon. W. s. Taylor:-The unanimous sen- timent here Is that you are wrong in pre- venting the legislature from meeting, and that you should submit the disputed ques- tions to the civil courts. Federal assistance cannot be given you your requisition so long as tn legislature is in session or can be convened. There is no doubt but 1t can be convened if you will permit. The demo- crats intend that if any violence occurs, you shall be the aggressor. You will by forciiJie resistance alienate all who former ly sympathized with your case. No assist ance. Answer.
 (Signed.) "W. J. DEBOE."
