ALL QUIET AT FRANKFORT.
No Trouble Has Occurred at Ken.
tucky's Capital as Yet.

FRANKFORT, KY. January pa clear,
cold day dawned on Frankfort this morn
ing. and the people Of the capital awoke
with a sense of relief from night of rest
that had promised to be one of wild ex-
element. The resolutions adopted by the
armed visitors in front of the capitol yes
terday will be offered to both houses of
the legislature today.
At the opening Of the house session the
Van Meter-Berry contest from jefferson
county being a special order for this morn
ing, resolution was offered by Represen-
tative Grider of Bowling Green, providing
that when majority and minority reports
were presented by gubernatorial contest
committee forty minutes should be allowed
each side for debate and that all the evf-
dence in the cases should be read. Mr..
Finn (rep) of Simpson county moved to
lay the motion on the table, and as the re-
publicans are avowedly for delay in the
contest cases and the democrats for quick
action, the vote was the first test of strength
on the contest cases. The motion to lay on
the table was lost by a vote of 40 to AZ
A compromise between the democratic
and republican leaders resulted in the adop-
tion Of a resolution that the house should
hear the majority and minority reports as
committee of the whole, not less than
twenty and not more than fifty minutes
being allowed for discussion and argument

WARREN FALLS BACK
He Abandons the Position He Cap
tured on Spion Kop.
DISPATCH FROM GEN. BULLBR
Speculation in London as to the
Reason for His Move.
LATEST FROM LADYSMITH

LONDON. January 26, 11;10 a.m.-The
war office has just posted the following dis
patch from Gen. Butler, dated Spearmans
Camp. Thursday. January 25, noon:
"Gen Warren's garrison, 1 am sorry to
say. 1 find this morning, had in the night
abandoned Spion Kop.'
The Latest From Ladysmith.
IADYSMITH. January p, by runner via
Frere Camp. Wednesday. January 24.-The
garrison is watching Gen. Buffers guns
shelling the Beers. Their fire can be seen
at this distance, and appears to be very
effective. The movements of the Beers
show that they are evidently determined to
stubbornly oppose the advance of the re-
lief column. They show no signs of remov-
ing their guns and have mounted new ones
and are continually strengthening their
fortifications- Our fortifications have been
greatly strengthened since January 6, and
Ladysnith is now practically impregnable.
Owing to the dry weather the fever has
diminished, and the number of GONZALES
cents returning from Intombi camp exceeds
that of the patients being sent there The
supplies are spinning out splenddly, all the
troops having sufficient wholesome food.
The heat is terrific, the thermometer reg
istering 101 degrees in the shade.

SENATE REORGANIZATION
Plan Involving Changes in About Seventy
five Positions.
These Places Aggregate in Salary
About 100000 Per
Annum.

The reorganization Of the Senate is now
an absorbing topic among the hundreds of
employees about the north wing Of the Cap
itol. Up to within the last few days 1t has
appeared very doubtful whether the reor-
ganization would go very much beyond a
change in the offices of secretary and ser
geant- alarms. The caucus committee ap
pointed to inquire into the distribution of
patronage, Of which Mr.. Mason was chair
man, reported in favor of giving to each
senator-republican, democratic and popu-
list-places representing 81 ,440 in salary,
providing that positions held by employees
regarded as men Of such special qualifica-
tions as to make their retention desirable
be made a class unto themselves and
charged to no senator After that was
cone, according to the plan, the balance of
the places were to be apportioned among
republican senators. Had this plan been
carried out there would have been COM
paratiVeiy Few changes in the Senate rolls
Another Plan Determined On.
But it was rejected by the caucus and
another committee composed of Senators
Platt Of Connecticut, Mcmillan of Michigan,
Perkins Of California, Sewell OF New Jer-
sey, Carter Of Montana, Hanna of Ohio and
Mason of Illinois, and thtS committee has
determined upon another plan which will
oouDtiessly pe carried out WITHIN compare
lively a short time This plan involves
changes In about seventy-five positions
now held by men whose influence" has
passed out of the Senate, or is democratic,
and these places aggregate in salary about
$4,000 per annum. Under this plan only
senators of the minority who have long
been in the Senate will be allowed GER
tain amount of patronage. Younger sena-
tors OF the minority will not be recognized
In this distribution Of places.
These changes are In both the offices of
the secretary and the sergeant-at- and
involve positions from high -salaried clerk
ships to places on the watch force, in the
folding room and mechanical departments
connected with the Senate. The reorganiza-
tion will soon begin, and within three OR
four weeks it is likely that all the changes
to be made under the plan of reorganization
will have taken place.

NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION.
No Negotiations Under Way Regard
ing q Trans-Ist milan CanaI.

ing a Trans-Isthmian CanaI.
A statement made last week by authority
to the effect that the government has en-
gagged in no exchanges with foreign gov
ernments respecting the Nicaragua canal
since the beginning of the present Con-
gress may now be reiterated. Certain
conferences which have taken place in
London between Mr. Choate, our ambassa-
dor, and Lord Salisbury have not, as is
enormously inferred in some quarters had
TO do with the subject of an isthmian ca
nal but related entirely to minor affairs,
such as the ascertainment of facts relat-
ing to the ownership Of the American goods
seized by British cruisers, and other mat
tiers of a like degree of importance.
1t is also gathered that there have been
some exchanges within the last few months
relative to the permanent delimitation Of
the boundary line between Alaska and
ed languidly and without much encourage
ment for the hope of an Immediately sue
cessful outcome.
Respecting the attitude of foreign nations
toward the United States in the event that
the pending Nicaraguan bill becomes a law,
It can be stated that the subject has re-
ceived nothing more than a preliminary
consideration, and 1t is questionable wheth-
er inquiries on the subject from any for
eign power would be acceptable while the
bill itself is pending before Congress and
its fate is uncertain. In the event of the
final passage of the BILL 1t is probable that
the first overtures directed to any foreign
government by the United States in con-
nection with this matter would be made to
Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and not TO a
European power.

THE MoDDER RIVER FIGHT.
As Seen by n Highlander Who Was
Preaent.

LONDON. January 1.-THE following ac-
count of the Modder river fight was re-
ceived from one of the Argyle and Suther-
lan3 Highlanders:
I've have had some hot fighting with
Methuen but we got through all right un-
til the eleventh, when We got a licking. We
of the Highland brigade had to march dur
ing the night to surprise the Beers. No
one knew what we were going to do or
where we were going. The rain came down
in torrents, and we were soaked through,
and that on empty stomachs. We were led
right into the Boer trenches by guides, and
before we could deDloy from column, half
of US We're shot down. We all ran for our
lives and reformed 500 yards back, when
the Gordons Joined us and We again tried
the trenches. But it was no good All day
We lay out in the sun, without food or
drink, and in the afternoon the Boer shells
began bursting among US, so we made the
best of our way to the rear. The men were
sick and dispirited, there was no fight left
in them, and they would not stop for the
officers or for any one else. General Wau-
chOpe was killed-hit in seven places He
was the right sort. They say it was not
his mistake at all, and he did not want the
night attack. Anyway. it was a ghastly
failure.
The camp at Modder river was full of
Boer spies-colonials and others-so' our
every move was watched and information
carried to the enemy. Some of these dis
loyal colonials have been caught redhanded
lighting against the queen. Why don't they
shoot them right off? Instead of sending
them down for trial-they don't deserve it,
Most of the regiments here are full of
young boys for officers, and the men don't
care about them l saw some of them at
Modder river fight like a lot of school
boys, shouting out orders that none of lis
could understand, SO the old hands took no
notice of them and went their own way, as
best they could. Most of the regiments are
the same; the Guards are best off for off
GERS. None of US can make out why so
rany young officers are sent out to take
charge Of old soldiers. Why can't we have
more Of our old officers? My late captain,
who left us at Aldershot, came to see us off
and we asked why he was not coming with
us. He replied that the war office would
not let him rejoin. He vas good man.
We should not have lost half the men we
did if we had had older officers.
I'VE were good brigade If we had not
been messed up and if only Wauchope had
been left to handle US himself This is a
terrible war, and God only knows how it
will end
MY wound is not bad one-a shot
through the fieshy part of the Highland 1
was so excited l did not notice it for an
hour or two.

ANNUAL OYSTER LUNCH.
Correspondents in the House Press
Gallery Enjoy 1t.

correspondents In the House Press
Gallery Enjoy 1t.
An ancient custom, which has existed in
the press gallery for many years, was eel
ebrated today with the usual ceremony
The annual oyster lunch was eaten, and
the health of ex-Representative Libby of
Virginia was toasted.
Every winter for sixteen years Mr. Libby
has sent from his own Lynn Haven oyster
beds several kegs of selected oysters to the
press gallery. Mr.. Libby commenced the
practice when he was a member of the
House. and, although he has been out of
Congress for many years, it has pleased
him to continue the pleasant habit. The
personnel of the gallery has Changed many
times over In that period. Correspondents
have come and correspondents have gone,
but as regularly as the seasons change the
oysters have appeared. The new men in
the gallery ask who is Mr.. Libby and why
does he do this. The veterans explain who
Mr.. Libby is, and say he does it apparently
because he likes to; there is no other rea-
son in sight. Mr.. Libby isn't in sight him
self, and only the older correspondents
know him.
Today was the day for the annual event.
Doorkeeper Mann Of the House press gal
lery arranged a table in the ante-room and
the two hundred and odd correspondents of
the corps celebrated the occasion in due
form during the afternoon.

HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
British Public Takes the Reverse in
PhiIOsophic Spirit.

LONDON, January 26.-In the words of
an editorial in the Westminster Gazette
this afternoon:
1.-The Associated Press said Warren's sue
cess was exactly what 1t was-provisional"
The Westminster Gazette's remark was
called out by George W. Smalleys cable
to the Times this morning saying:
'The Associated Press takes care that
we shah not overestimate Warren's sue
cess. suggesting that it is only provisional,
and that there is the usual disposition of
London to exasgerate the Importance of
the point scored
The Westminster Gazette then proceeds
to defend Its own course, pointing out that
1t Is not unpatrfotic to decline to gloss
over facts
As a matter Of fact Great Britain as
sumes that the point gained was more
conclusive than 1t really was, hence the
extreme revulsion of feeling caused by
General Buffers announcement of the aban
donment of Spion Kop. Considering that
the Beers who held the position fled that
the British casualties in retaining ii dur
