The Doctors DISAGREED.

Some Vienna Swans were lately con-
fronted with a language difficulty. Ac-
cording to the Independence Beige, a
young girl, unknown. was found I'M
conscious in a street at Presburg and
was conveyed to the hospital at Wen
ma, where she recovered consciousness
and began to speak in a language
which no one present could under
stand. The doctors came to the con-
clusion that the young woman was a
native of an eastern country.
Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called in, and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak correct language, but a
dialect. The professor Of Persian held
that she spoke Persian dialect and
that he understood it. Another pro-
fessor was of opinion that it was an
Abyssinian dialect. A third was con-
vinced that it was a Turkish patois.
Since the Swans were not agreed the
police deemed it necessary to make in
quiries. with the result that the stran-
ger was proved to be Hungarian who
had escaped from prison and who
did not understand word Of Persian,
Abyssinian or Turkish.-London Globe.

TAYLOR
Refused to Sign the Peace Agree.
ment Drawn Up at Louis
>" vile,
But Recalls the Legislature to
Frankfort and Will Await
q Events.
Soldiers No Longer Needed and
They Will at Once Be s
Sent Home.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. Ex-Governor
Taylor hns definitely decided that he
will not sign the Louisville agreement.
He made the declaration at 1:15 o'clock,
as he came from the legislative hall
where he had all morning been in con-
ference with the Republican committee
men. He has decided to allow the mat.
ter to be decided by the courts and will
abide by their action. ....--.
The legislature will be allowed to
meet in the capitol building Monday,
and will continue its work without
further interruption.
Immediately after Governor Taylor
came from the Legislative hall, orders
were issued to the troops to return to
their homes, and Colonel Williams at
once sent messages ordering cars to be
prepared for their transportation.
Long and Exciting.
The meeting was long and exciting
one, opinion from the first being
strongly against the signing of any
agreement with the Democrats which
might in any way be construed as sur
render by the Republicans. The feeling
was also general that it was needless to
keep up the fight as it had been con-
Quoted during. the last two weeks. 1t
was then decided to allow the legislc-
ture to come back on Monday, to dis
continue the sessions at London, and
allow matters to be settled by the legal
tribunals.
There is no doubt what decision Of
tie courts and legislature will be, as
both OF them have already gone on
record as favoring the Democratic side
to tho controversy.
The following resolutions were passed
by the meeting:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that Governor Taylor should
not sign the agreement referred to him
by the Louisville conference, and that
reposing confidence in his ability and
sense of duty, we are content to follow
his leadership after that refusal"
The resolution was passed after Gov
ernor Taylor had left the hall, and was
adopted with ringing cheers. A small
detachment of troops will be left around
the capitol building to preserve order.
At 1:45 p. m. Governor Taylor issued
proclamation reconvening the legisla-
ture in Frankfort.

Baking themselves in huge roaring
ovens is the climax of emotional en-
thusiasm and self sacrifice of
strange sect of Russians. They are the
Begonny. and they live in the village
of Ternowo. near Tiraspol.
The sects origin was rather political
and economical than religious, their
agitations having always been direct
ed toward greater personal liberty and
political power for individual members.
of society.
They demand the abolition of docu-
ments for proving identity and also the
abolition of the necessity for the pass
port. They repudiate compulsory mill
tary service, and if forced to bear arms
they, are liable to emotional enthusi-
asm. leading to self sacrifice. The
form of death which they adopt is usu-
ally burial while alive. but occasional
ly it is self destruction by fire.
When the last great sacrifice of the
sect was made, the people adopted the
voluntary cremation method as a
means Of getting an eternal release
from their troubles. On single day
four families went out from village
and did themselves to death. A huge
oven was built, and into it those who
voluntarily decided to die plunged
themselves.
The people who lacked the necessary
enthusiasm or strength of mind or who
felt that they were not worthy Of at
tempting the great achievement knelt
and prayed while they wept for their
, relatives and friends, whose charred
bones they kissed in an ecstasy of af-
lection and admiration.

kentucky Democrats Prepared to Resist

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 12.-The exec
utive and Legislative headquarters of the
Democratic state government have been
established in Louisville and the leaders
assert will be maintained here as long
as necessary. The legislature has re-
sumed it's regular work with quorum
in each house, and Governor Beckham,
in lieu of an executive mansion, has
taken up his abode at Seelbach hotel,
surrounded by his political advisers.
Most notable among the latter is, by
force of circumstance, General John R.
Castleman, the adjutant general. Upon
him will devolve the duty of carrying
out Governor Beckham's purpose to pro-
tect his assistants from armed interfer-
ence, whether it come from Frankfort
or London or both. Little can be
learned of these defensive plans. Gen.
eral Castleman declared no steps had
been taken towards organization of a
military force.
"The only purpose of the proposed
military organization, said he, is to
maintain peace, and SO long as there is
no disturbance and civil authority rules,
there will be no necessity for military
force" '. --
The Democratic legislators are not
so fearful of arrest as they have been of
late.

IMPORTANT EVENTS EXPECTED
British Public Looks for News From Mod

British Public Looks for News From Mod
der River.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE cessation of
war news from South Africa is taken to
indicate that the British preparations
for a move from Modder river are about
completed, and that important events
may be anticipated within few days.
Interest centers almost wholly upon
Field Marshal Roberts, especially since
General Buffers report of his with
drawal from Vaal Krantz came, for the
first time, through Lord Roberts, show
ing that all the different operations over
the wide field will hereafter be more
completely co-ordinated. 1t is now
known that the military attaches have
gone to join Lord Roberts at the Mod
der river, another move preluding an
advance.
A dispatch from the Modder river an
nounces the arrival there of the refu-
gees from the Barley west district.
They had been ordered away by the
Beers because they refused to join the
Republicans. The refugees reached the
Modder river via Koodensberg. It is
learned that 200 Beers were killed or
wounded during General McDonald's
reconnaissance. There is no confirma-
ton of the reported sortie of British
troops from Ladysmith, nor of the Boer
outflanking movement.
A report comes from Durham that the
British artillery forced the Beers to
evacuate their camp on Hlangwana hill,
south of Colenso. 1t would be an i'm
portant advantage if the British were
able to occupy the position.
The absence Of General French from
the Rensberg district seems to have given
the Beers an opportunity for renewed
activity. They have apparently COM
menced an extended attack on the Brit
ish lines and are meeting with minor
successes which are having considerable
moral effect on the border coloists,
The Boer invasion of Zululand is caus-
ing keen anxiety. Apart from the fact
it threatens General Buffers supplies, it
is difficult to believe that the Zulus can
long be kept quiescent while their cattle
are commandered and their country over
run by their hereditary foes.
Friends of Rhodes Anxious.
The friends of Cecil Rhodes are be-
coming alarmed at his possible fate, and
have sent an emissary to see DR.. Leyds,
the diplomatic agent of the Beers in
Europe, in regard to the probable course
the Beers would pursue in the event of
his capture. DR.. Leyds assured the in
termediaries that the Beers did not in
tend to kill Mr.. Rhodes, but, he added,
they would certainly hold him as host
age until the indemnity for the Jameson
raid was paid. In view of the devel-
opments since the raid, the Beers
have also decided to double the amount
Of the indemnity demanded, SO Mr..
