TO REMEDY THE EVILS
KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS TO CALL A
SOUTHERN CONVENTION.
VIII Try to Get Election Troubles
Before Congress-COntest Before
the Court of Appeals.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 2S.-The Re-
publican joint caucus of the Legislature
met this evening. and after a long discus
sion concerning election laws in the South,
and particularly the Goebel election law in
this State, decided TO take the initiative in
a movement TO bring the matter before
Congress. The purpose is to call a conven-
ton in which Virginia. Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama. Mississippi Missouri and
North CaroiIna and South Carolina are to
take part at which convention action is to
be taken memorializing Congress to amend
the national election laws so as to take out
of the hands of the election machinery of
the various State governments the details
of at least congressional and presidential
elections. The caucus convened at o'clock
and several prominent Republican leaders,
in addition to the Republican members of
both houses, were present.
In the Court of Appeals to-day r. j.
Breckenridge, Democratic attorney gen.
eral, filed motion demanding that the
court recognize him. Republican Attorney
General Pratt objected. The court declined
to pass on the question at once and ordered
the matter submitted, as a decision would
involve the contests over minor state
offices.
Vandals stripped the State Capitol build
ing OF the emblems of mourning with which
the front of the building was draped on ac-
count of the death of the late Democratic
Governor Goebel. The work must have re-
quired the cooperation of a number of peo-
pie and occupied some time. The soldiers
were on duty during the night. Captain
Cochran, who is in charge, will hold a
court of inquiry.

four hours, outstripping the transport sup
plies and living for days on almost quar-
ter rations. Yet the fatigue and incessant
hardship were borne with wonderful cheer
fulness. There has been a drenching rain
for the last three days, the men lying fully
exposed to the rain and the subsequent
cold winds, all of which proved the ad-
mirable pluck and endurance of the men.
Every day, owing to the enormous extent
of the British lines, news is brought of
some little action which had passed unno-
ticed in the excitement of General Cronje's
investment. Last Monday night brilliant
piece of work was performed by the
Gloucesters. During the afternoon they
approached a kopje containing body of
Beers. 1ney waited till nightfall, when 120
men charged the kopje with the bayonet
and drove off the enemy with loss, bay
oneting several of them. The positions
taken, however, were evacuated during the
night.
Last night the rattle of musketry showed
that the Beers had discovered our nightly
rush forward in the river bed, which they
have been unable to stop. Yesterday they
were shelled internationally. The Beers
possess two Vickers- Maxim guns, two fif-
teen-pounders and are supposed tc possess
a big gun, all of which appear to be sedu-
lousy hidden.
The war balloon is doing good work.
Yesterday was observed as a tacit armis-
tice The Beers freely showed themselves
to the British troops. Our horses are now
thoroughly rested and full rationed. This
correspondent has conversed with many
Boer prisoners, both Free Staters and
Transvaalers. All seemed convinced now
that the war must end IN British vic
tory. They had never before believed that
the British would be able to advance ex-
cept by railways, and they mad supposed
that the efforts to relieve Kimberley were
due to the necessity of securing the KIM
berley- Mafeking line whence the advance
into the heart of the Transvaal would be
easy. General Cronje, it appears, had
steadily refused to believe II possible that
the British would make a long march
away from a railway, and therefore total
ly misconceived the object of the strategic
movement of Lord Roberts, imagining that
il was merely change or direction, in or
der to attack Magersfontein by way of
Jacobsdal. All the prisoners seemed equal
ly convinced that when the British get to
Pretoria some foreign power will inter
vene.
1t becomes more evident daily that the
greatest necessity in the successful con-
duct of the campaign OF Lord Roberts is
larger supplies of horses

NEARLY ALL WIRES DOWN.
Business Almost Suspended i'm st.
LOuis-An Trains Delayed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-The snow that
fell yesterday to a depth of several inches
was followed last night by sleet and rain
that froze as it came down and covered
everything with thick coating of ice. IN
der foot the snow was reduced to slush. AS
a result of this storm which extended for
distance of twenty miles about the city,
the conditions are worse than at any time
this winter. Wires and poles in every d.
rection are down with the weight of ice and
hundreds of trees are broken. Most of the
wires of the telephone companies being I'M
foreground, they did not suffer so badly as
the telegraph companies, except in the out
lying districts. The electric lighting and
power companies suffered considerably by
crossed wires but were able to keep their
systems in operation to-day.
For several hours street car traffic was
almost entirely blocked on many electric
lines and many persons had to walk to
their places of business. Ice covered rails
and broken trolley wires caused the delay,
which extended to every street car line in
the city. So far as known there were no
casualties, but several horses were killed
by live wires and a number of persons had
narrow escapes from death. Incoming rail-
road trains were late.
As the day wore on reports were received
at police headquarters OF numerous persons
injured as the result of the terrible condi-
ton of the streets and from falling ice and
branches of trees. Owing to the danger
from live wires that are to be found broken
and hanging in the streets, the superin-
tendent of the city lighting department has
come out with warning to citizens to
keep indoors as much as possible tonight
The city lighting department reports that
the damage to wires from this storm is
greater than from the tornado in 1896.
At Peoria, ILL.,. the storm amounted al
most to a blizzard and the drifted snow
blocked every street car line in the city,
DENISON, Tex, Feb. 2S-The storm last
night in this vicinity and in the Indian Ter
ritory was the worst experienced i'm years
Six inches of snow fell In the Territory All
traffic is impeded and trains are arriving
several hours late. Large snowdrifts have
accumulated on the track of the Missouri
Kansas IL Texas in the Territory. Tele-
phone messages from different points in the
very heavy. ~ blizzard prevails here.
Specials from all sections of Texas give
accounts of rain, hail and sow, but no ma
terial damage has been done save to
strawberries and cabbage.

GRAIN RATES REDUCED.
Action of Presidents Of Trunk Line
Railways.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-It was learned
late tonight that at conference of pres
idents of railroad lines belonging to the
Central Freight Association. at the Trunk
line Association rooms to-day, new grain
rate from Chicago and the Mississippi to
New York was agreed upon. The meeting
was. well attended, and among those pres
ent were NJ. f. ingalls,. president of the
Big Four; II. r. Ledyard, president of the
Michigan Central; A. III. Newman. presi-
dent of the Lake Shore; James McCrea,
vice president of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg; Oscar G.. Murray. vice
president of the Baltimore q Ohio; William
NJ. Greene. vice president of the b. & o.
Southwestern, and j. A. Ramsey, vice pres
ident of the Wabash.
1t was ANNOUNCED that a basis had been
decided upon of Is cents for each 100 pounds
from Chicago and the Mississippi to New
York, and of Il cents per 100 on export
grain via New York from the same points.
This new rate represents a reduction of
about z cents from the rates heretofore
considered as standard rates. The new
rates are to go into effect on March 5.
However, so many contracts have been
made at 10 and IL cents that the effect OF
the new rate will probably not be fell for
some time. and probably not before the
opening of lake navigation, about the be-
ginning of April.

THREE LITTLE ONES PERISH.
Children Sufocated i'm a Burning
Tenement-Series of Fires.

NEW YORK, March IA fierce fire
broke out at midnight in tenement at No.
1851 Third avenue The police and firemen
made many thrilling rescues, and after the
fury of the flames had been spent the
bodies of three children of the Friedner
family were found in a bed. The children
had been suffocated. They were Elite. six
years; George, four years, and Sammy.
eighteen months. At a fire about a year
ago the Friedner family lost two other
children by suffocation. Mrs. Friedner,
who ii was at first thought had been
burned TO death. was out of the house at
the time of the fire. She returned just be-
fore the bodies of her children were found.
A dozen or more persons were rescued In a
semi-conscious or unconscious condition.
Policeman Thomas Tracey did valorous
service, entering the burning building re-
peatedly and finally dropping on the third
floor overcome by smoke. His comrades
carried him out unconscious and he was
sent to the Presbyterian Hospital. he Will
recover. Another policeman carried out
five-year- boy who was FOUND almost
dead on the third floor. The fire broke out
in the basement and the entire structure
was destroyed. The financial loss was
about $4,000.
While the firemen were fighting this fire
another broke out on Third avenue. just
five blocks away, under almost the SINH
lar circumstances. The fire was quickly ex-
tinguished. AT the same time there was a
fire burning at 1898 Second avenue, very
close at hand. where a four-story fiat
house was Quilted. Here also the police and
firemen made number of rescues. "A few
minutes later about midway between the
two fires on Third avenue fourth fire
broke out at No. 1755, in the bottom of an
air shaft This was also easily extin-
guished
The police and Chief Croker. OF the fire
department, are strongly OF the opinion
that the fires were prearranged and the
work of incendiary origin.
