TAYLOR'S REPORT TO MCKINLEY
Gives Warning OF Possible Need of Fed
eral Troops.

Gives Warning OF Possible Need OF fea-
eral Troops
Washington, Feb. 3.-President Nc
Kinley has received long message
from Governor w. s. Taylor OF Ken
lucky. Governor Taylor recites at
length the situation in Kentucky, de-
claring that he considers himself the
legally elected executive of the state
and asserts that the condition of affairs
at the present time is most critical. He
asserts that riot may occur at any
time which may cause much bloodshed
There is reason TO believe that specific
request for the immediate presence OF
federal troops is not made. No action
of any kind has been taken on Govern
or Taylor's memorial, and it can be
positively stated that no decision what
ever with reference to it had beer
reached.
Senator-elect Blackburn is in almost
constant communication by telephone
with the Goebel leaders at Frankfort
Blackburn has told them that it il
practically certain that there would bs
no interference in Kentucky affairs by
the national administration.

BOLD MANEUVER|NG FEATS.
Taylor Resists Process of the Courts
---Lieut. Gov. Beekman Acts.
GREAT PRUDENCE NEEDED,

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 5.-The first
clash came when an officer of the cir
cult court of Franklin county was
arrested by the military while attempt
ing to serve notice of legal proceeding
upon Governor Taylor. The next
clash may come when the officers of
that court attempt to enforce the rul-
ing of its presiding Judge. Behind
this judge the Democrats will have for
the first time an active executive head
in the person of Acting Governor
Beckman. On the other hand, the
Republicans are fixed in their attitude
that there is an instruction in the
state, that Beckman and his actions,
his adjutant general and his orders,
are those of people acting in opposition
to law.
Judge Cantrill has the reputation OF
being man who will attempt by all
means in his power to enforce the
rulings handed down from his bench.
He will most certainly use all the pow
err in his hands to secure the operation
of his injunction. 1t is equally certain
that the Republicans will pay no at
tention to Judge Cantrill or his writs.
The Democrats claim that the action
of the Republicans in arresting Walker
while he was attempting to carry out
the orders of the court has placed them
in contempt of court, and they will
make all Of the point that is possible
1t is likely that no Democrat member
of the legislature will attend its session
at London; yet if arrests are attempt
ed, no resistance will be made by the
Democrats, either to arrest or to at
tending the session at London should
they be arrested. 1t was determin'
ed that all acts of violence should be
avoided, and that the battle for SUI
premacy hereafter should be fought
out in the courts.

An interesting case in point was re-

a young woman came into his office, ac-
companied by an older woman appar-

wore colored glasses, which one might
have assumed to be superfiuous; as il was
claimed that the girl was totally blind
What was wanted Of the doctor was a
certificate authenticating this claim of
blindness, putting 1t beyond dispute; and
it was frankly stated that the object in
seeking this was to obtain certain aids
and advantages of a philanthrophic ma
ture impossible of access otherwise. The
standing of the oculist was such that
a statement from him would carry full
