GOV. TAYLOR'S STATEMENT

A dispatch from Frankfort, KY, last
night says: William Goebel was shortly
before o'clock tonight sworn in as gov
ernor of Kentucky, and ]. c. W. Beckham
a few minutes later took the oath of lieu
tenant governor. The oath was admins
tered to both men by Chief Justice Halle
rigg of the court Of appeals.
The plan to make Goebel governor was
set in motion early in the afternoon. A
statement was prepared saying that the
boards which had heard the contests for
governor and lieutenant governor had de-
cided in favor of Goebel and Beckham
and that the boards intended to report
their findings to the legislature, but that
they had been prevented from SO doing
by the action of Governor Taylor in declar-
ing the legislature adjourned. The state
ment then goes on to say that the members
of the legislature were driven from place
to place by the militia and threatened with
arrest whenever they attempted to hold
meeting. 1t was declared the belief of all
the signers of the statement that Goebel
and Beckham We're the legally elected gov
ernor and lieutenant governor, and each
man as he signed the paper announced that
he voted for the adoption of the majority
report of the contest boards, which declared
Goebel and Beckham to be the men right
fully entitled to the offices. The statement
in full is as follows:
Statements by the Democrats.
TO the Citizens of the Commonwealth Of
Kentucky:
On the 31st day of January, 1900 at
1870 the hour to which the house of rep
resentatives had adjourned. the members
thereof attempted to assemble in the house

forming the duties with which they are
charged under the laws of the common

We're by the soldiery not only refused ad-
mission to the house, but commanded to
.disperse as an unlawful assembly.
''Thereupon your representatives attempt
ed to meet at other places within the city
of Frankfort, but were pursued by the
same soldiery and dispersed at the point
OF the bayonet: furthermore, as If
these unwarranted acts-hitherto unheard

upon your representatives by uniformed
officers that he, the acting governor. mad
adjourned the general assembly to meet
in London, in a, remote mountain county
in the heart of that section OF the state
notorious throughout the nation for its
lawlessness, murderOus feuds and asSdS-
sinations. where he and his predecessors
have repeatedly acknowledged heir inabit-
ity to enforce the law, even with the full
assistance of the military power of the
state.

New London. June 27.-The hopes Of
Harvard for victory in this years
race with Yale were considerably
shaken. las, Sunday night, when Cap
tain HigginsOn. who stroked last years
crew tn victory. fractured his leg, ana
was compelled to give up his seat in
the Varsity boat. Great faith had been
placed in HiggiGson on account Of his

When it became necessary to fiji
Higginsou's place, the lot fell on Hard
ing. No. 9, a veteran at the oars and
steady and strong man. who helped
to bring the Harvard shell across the
line ahead of Yale, last year.
In spite of the loss Of Higginson and
the fact that a man had to be called
from the four-oar crew to complete
the Varsity eight. the boat contains
practically a veteran crew, for three Of
them pulled winning oar in last
years race; a fourth was in the '9S
boat, while the other four men all have
had considerable experience in fresh

SILL NEED TEACHING.
Some Cubans Evidently Still Have Little
Respect for Americans.

Havana, June 21.-A Cuban police
man, who recently killed an American
named Welsh and against whom the
evidence was apparently complete in
the opinion of army officers and others
who saw the whole affair, has just
been acquitted by the judges in cir
cumstances so extraordinary that Gov.
Gen. Wood will order an investigation.
The fiscal said the case had been com
pletely proved and he demanded a SEN
tence of IA years.
Americans in Havana are very indig-
nant over what they claim is a studied
attempt to show the Cubans that it is
no crime to kill an American. They re-
fer to case occurring some months
ago when Cuban editor killed Mr..
Smith. the American collector Of Gus
toms at Gibara. On the trial the fiscal
said he rose with regret to request the
punishment of a Cuban for killing one
OF the 'interventors," an act which in
his opinion was scarcely a crime.
