In Sight.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20.-The i'm
preston that the contest over the gov
ernorship will not be ended till it is
fought to a finish in the courts is not
lessened by the action taken by the
democratic senators Monday in rati-
flying their former action by which
Senator GOebel was declared governor
The republicans, who spoke for Gov.
Taylor, said that he would not recog-
nize as legal the proceedings taken
yesterday and which it is anticipated
will be duplicated in the house to-day.
He has told them that he looks upon
the proceedings as illegal and will not
quit the fight until the whole matter
is passed upon in the courts of last re-
sort.
His position is that the former pro-
ceedings being void, the ratification
yesterday gives them no legal vitality
than the legal presiding officer, Lieut..
Gov. Marshall, had declared the ses-
sion ad djourned when the vote in ques-
ton was taken and that the vote
should have been taken by yeas and
nays, as in the case of bill or Joint
resolution.

Volcano in Mexico Frightening the
Indians.

New York, Feb. 21.-Details of the
eruption of the Colima volcano on the
Pacific coast of Mexico, recently re-
ported by telegraph from Guadalaiara
Mexico, have been received bv w. j.
Arkell, of this city. An immense river
of lava ran over the side of the volcano
and threatened to overwhelm three In
dian villages near its base. The In
dians fed to the Santa Ana mine i'll
the center of the Colimas copper re-
gion and sought safety by hiding IN
the mine. leaving their women and
children to shift for themselves. A
company of Mexican troops drove the
Indians from the mine and sent them
back to their homes to protect their
families.
The government of Mexico, from
whom Mr.. Arkell, Mr.. Netherton Hall,
of Chicago, and Paul w. Herbach. Of
Omaha, obtained a concession of ESQ.,
900 acres in the Colima valley, offered
to cancel the concession if the mines
were injured by the volcanoes eruption,
but the offer was declined. One of
the most serious results of the vol
canic disturbance is the entire cessa-
tion of work on tramway now being
built to connect the copper mines with
the port of Manzanillo. The contrac-
tors were unable to restrain the ter
rified Indians employed in the con-
struction of the road. Many of them
have gone to Michoacan and Jalisco
and others have fled to the more dis
tant southern states of the republic.

Timothy l.. Woodruff, of New York,

didacy of the Brooklyn gentleman for
vice president of the United States
overshadowed the interest in the GU
bernatorial candidates and their
friends.

London, Feb. 20.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marquee, da-
ted Monday, says:
according to advices from Preto-
ria, the Beers are expecting big bat
tie on the Tugela. They claim that
70 of the Wiltshires were killed at
Colesberg, and that 30 wagons with
forage and provisions were captured,
but no ammunition.
Gen. Butler has achieved a real sue
cess seemingly in capturing the
range of hills south of the Tugela. 1t
makes more feasible another attempt
to relieve Ladysmith.
London, Feb. 20.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily News, tel
egraphing Sunday, says:
''LoSl Methuen's force, | learn, has
arrived at Kimberley, having got
through from Magersfontein without
fighting"
London, Feb. 21.-The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
OIL British territory and are concen-
trating for the defense of their own.
Sir Redvers Butler thinks they are
about to raise the siege of Ladysmith
and this is the large news of the day.
chase of Cronie for two days.
If, as Gen. Butler AYERS, the Beers
are retreating from him, then the
news on every side is favorable to the
British. Nevertheless, troops continue
to go up. The war Office thinks that
the call to veterans to rejoin the col
ors. together with the bounty, will
bring 5000 men to the home defense.
IL,
the British losses in killed, wounded
and captured now aggregate 11,102.
The first train to Kimberley left
Cape Town Monday night and the IA
nous siege seems thoroughly cleared.

himself with shelling the Beers from
his newly-gained position at Monte
Christie, which, according to good opin-
ion, is likely to form his base for an
other attempt to relieve Ladysmith.
London. Feb. 22.-Lord Roberts list
of 40 killed and wounded o;cers, IN
cluding two generals, in the engage
ments up to Sunday evening, causes
anxiety. especially as in the officers
list neither the losses of the Welsh
and Essex regiments nor those of the
mounted infantry are included. This
is about the number that fell at Co.
lenso, where the non-commlsslonet
officers and men brought the total
losses to 500.
1t is considered strange that when
sending his casualties Lord Roberts
gives no information as to the result
of the fighting
As the correspondents with Lord
Roberts are silent, the kilograms from
Boer sources receive some counte-
nance. The latter aver that Gen.
Cronie. while the British were endeav-
oring to surround him between Paar-
deberg and Koodoosrand, received re-
Inducements under Dewet, and that
together the Boer commanders fought
the British to a standstill.
The latest report regarding Gen.
Butler circulated in the house of com
mons last evening was that an agent
of the De Beers company had received
a cablegram from Cape Town, which
must have passed the censor, to the
effect that Gen. Barton's fusileer brig
ade had reached the hills commanding
Ladysmith. Quite apart from this, how
ever, and from every other rumor, the
early relief of the beleaguered garri-
son is thought inevitable.

Indians and WatermelonS

Yuma watermellons have a pe- culiar effect on aborigines of the Colorado. Finding a stalwart buck beastly inebriated, the other day, Marshal Miles attempted to ascer- tain the source of his joy, when Lo informed the officer that he had pur- chased mellon from a local dealer, the eating of which had produced the desired effect that fire-water would produce. Still another case of drunkenness was observed in the Colorado river this week. An ob- ject resembling that of Indian was seen floating with the current when boatmen hurried to the rescue and saved a Yuma chief from a watery grave Some miscreant had fur nished the liquor that had crazed the Indian and caused him to jump into the river. It Is hoped the officers may succeed ln entrapping those who are engaged in the ne- farious business of selling liquor to Indians.

Constable Burke came down from the King of Arizona mine last Sun day morning, having in charge Mexican alleged to have made 8 deadly assault upon an obstreper- ous visitor to his shack. At the preliminary examination it was brought out that the visitor to the defendants premises was the ag- gressor and was kicked out of the house without having received any serious bodily harm. Justice Wer- ninger bound the man over to ap- pear before the grand jury. The arresting officer said he did not think the case would stick, but the incarceration would only be equal to a sentence for simple assault Pete reports the King camp as be- ing fourishing, the mill running regularly and the mine producing above the most sanguine hopes of the company.
