ALoNzo WALKER RELEASED.
He Was Arrested for Serving Papers
on Gov. Taylor.


a dispatch from Frankfort KY. yester-
day says:
Alonzo Walker the court deputy for
whose release habeas corpus proceedings
were begun by the democrats and ignored
by Taylor, was released without bail under
his promise not to leave Frankfort
This action is regarded by both republi-
cans and democrats as a sure sign that
Taylor has begun to recede from his posi-
ton of ''intrenched Dictatorship The be-
lief is further based upon the fact that
Taylor received a long telegram from
United States Senator Deboe at Washing
ton, which is supposed to have been a warn
ing that President Mckinley and the ad-
ministration had abandoned Taylor and de-
clared his position untenable.
Taylor and Adjutant General Collier, on
the other hand, both deny these supposi-
tions. They will not divulge the tenor of
their advices from Washington. both In
sisting that they have no intention of all
dicating relaxing iota OF the adyaa-
tage they now hold by arms.
The release Of Walker was not made IN
response to the writ OF habeas corpus
which Sheriff Suter had tried in vain to
serve upon Taylor. The latter, it is staeed.
custody long enough, and told him to go
home. The charge Of melting to mutiny
has not been quashed. and Walker may be
brought before q coUrt-martial.
