TAYLOR RETURNS
 TO FRANKFORT
As Yet No Warrant Has Been
 Served on Him.
INDICTMENT IS RETURNED
He Says He Returned to Silence Ru- mors in Regard to His Attempt ing to Escape Arrest-Pris-
 oners sArraigned Today

Frankfort, Ky, April Ex-Governor w. 8. Taylor has returned here from Washing ton and spent Sunday at the executive mansion. He was not expedfed to arrive until this evening" and but few people were aware of his presence in the city till this evening, when he appeared at the railroad station and took the Chesapeake & Ohio train to Louisville, leaving here at 6 o'clock.
 The presence of Governor Taylor in this city was known to the local officers and to those in charge of the prosecution, and the fact that a warrant of arrest was not served upon him is construed to mean that the indictment in this case will be held up and no process issued on 1t for several days The indictment was returned In open court the day after those against Finley, Powers, Culton and others were returned, but it was not entered as of record, and is now understood to be in the possession of Judge Cantrill.

Recent Operations Throw No
 Light on the Situation
THE BOERS CANNOT BE CAUGHT
Announcement That French's Cavalry Has Returned to BIoemfonteln Means That ths Burghers
 Made Their Escape.

London, April 90, a. m.-The only dis patch from Lord Roberts published yes- terday, was the usual list of deaths and sickness. The flood of newspaper dispatches today, describing the recent operations, throws no light whatever upon the present position of affairs or upon the great ques- ton as to when the main advance is to be- gin. The Standards announcement that General French's cavalry are returning to Bloemfontein is clear proof that there is no further hope of catching the retreat ing Boers, and the London papers are be- ginning to display impatience at the prac- tical failure of the elaborate operations of last week.
 The Standard says:
 "It is disheartening to find that these elaborate maneuvers have had so small result"
 The Daily Chronicle remarks:
 eve are reluctant to criticize Lord Rob- erts but it is impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that during the last ten days we have gained very little from our enor- nous display of force.."
 Without doubt these operations have been of very exhausting nature and will entail further delay. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Times writing on March 8, after the Paardeberg affair, de- scribes Lord Roberts army as wreck because it was without horses and with out transport. The Bloemfontein corre- spondent of the Post speaks now of the urgent need at present and always of more horses.
 There is very little news form other quarters
 The Daily Mail publishes statement from Colonel Long who was blamed for the | loss of guns at Colenso, that in advancing | the guns as he did, he merely obeyed or 1 ders and that the staff was quite ignorant l of the proximity of the Boer positions | The sudden decision of the Boer peace | delegation to go to America is attributed | to the fact that the government of the | Netherlands, after sounding all the
 European capitals, told them they he'd nothing to hope from Europe. Colonel Dalgety's force at Wepener | numbered HOO. His losses during the siege were thirty killed and 149 wounded. | It is reported that there was an artillery | engagement yesterday at Karee Siding, but no details have been received.

WILSON PREDICTS
 A GREAT SUCCESS
He Thinks That Bryan Will be Ntm hated and That the
 Democrats Will Win.

Kansas City, April 29-William L. Will son, author of the Wilson tariff bill, while in this city en route from Hot Springs to Nebraska City, Neb., where he is to be the guest of J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture in Cleveland's cabinet, said:
 Tt is to be Mckinley and Bryan. MT. Cleveland will not allow his name to be mentioned, and Dewey will not get an op- portunity to see himself voted down.
 Bryan will be nominated, but the con- ditions are so changed that the campaign will be on new lines. Both parties have so many new conditions to confront that the old tactics will not do. I think the democrats will win. We shall go into the fight solid"
 MT. Wilson gave expression to his views regarding the candidacy of Admiral Dewey. "de is innocent of the game of politics." said he, land has blundered in his bluntness as blunt people often do. He will blunder out of 1t again as suddenly as he came in. Dewey does things sud- denly. He generally anticipates, and when the row is at its height he will surprise everybody by sailing away, or am mis- taken in the man."

CONFERENCE HELD
Youngson of B. of L. E. Has Gone to
 Little Rock

Little Rock Ark, April 29.-A. B. Young son of Cleveland, O., assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin- eers, arrived in Little Rock today to rep resent Grand Chief P. M Arthur at con- ference with the Choctaw officials tomor- row. Frank P. Sargent, of Peoria, Ills, grand master ow Locomotive Bremen, will also be present at the conference When questioned tonight as to the object of his visit to Little Rock, MT. Youngson said:
 'I am here to confer with the officials of the Choctaw system with the view of obtaining a uniform scale of wages for our men, the same as are paid on compel ing lines. At present there is no fixed scale as the men on the Choctaw and Memphis road are paid different wages from those on the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf We will have conference tomorrow, and I believe the matter will be amicably ad- tusted. When the wage question is settled we will take up the question of the dis charge of two members of our organiza- ton. This is all care to say tonight"

CUPID GETS IN HIS WORK.

defeat of Senator Quay's effort to get into the senate may be the nomination of ex Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania for vice president on the democratic ticket The part Senator Hanna took in defeating Quay has made the Quay machine men in Pennsylvania very vindictive. It is argued, by some Pennsylvania democrats, that this feeling will hurt Mckinley in Pennsylvania and that it would be good politics to nom mate foa vice president the democrat who has twice been elected governor of Penn sylvania. The idea of the democrats carry ing Pennsylvania this autumn seems a wild one, but nevertheless Pattison Is, just at present enjoying little boom.
 Condition Of Penitentiaries
 To ascertain whether the system under which prisoners are employed in the sev- eral state reformatory institutions throughout the country are satisfactory, as well as to secure suggestions for changes or Improvements in the laws regulating such employment the industrial commission directed a circular letter to prison officials asking if the system em- ployed was unsatisfactory, what changes were st ggested; what system of employ ing conyicts was best for the convicts, morally and physically, and at the same
 
 whether the officials considered that con- vict labor as at present conducted com petes with free labor. The prison officials were als asked to give any facts they had as to Tt duction in number of workers or wages 5r prices s@of-snaanufactured articles caused by convict labor. The officials Of the state of Alabama gave this informa- tion:
 At the state penitentiary the system Of employment is satisfactory, and no mate- rial change in the laws Is recommended. The employment of convicts on farms and in saw mills is the least injurious to all interests involved. Convicts worked in the mine appear to compete with free labor, but as matter of fact it Is beneficial to free labor, as it prevents strikes, keeps the free miners employed and insures the running of the industries of the state that use coal, and the employment of the labor connected with them without cessation, insures the running of railroads at all times and the transportation of all pro- ducts. Hence, the employment of con- victs in the coal mines is of the greatest benefit to the free labor of the state.'

FIFE RCE FIGHT
Correspondents Describe the Battle of
 Prales Foot

London, April 30.-A special dispatch from Thaba NChu, dated Thursday, de- scribing the fight at Prales Foot, which is about seven miles west of Thaba NChu, says:
 Three hundred Boers were strongly en- trenched on two kopjes. The place of hon. or was given to the Canadians, who ad- vanced very cleverly under their dashing commander Colonel Otter. The Boers re- served their fire until the Canadians had reached the wire entanglements. Then they opened fire with terrific hail of bull lets.
 '"The Canadians, however, had taken good cover and were not greatly damaged. They were ably supported in the assault by the Grahamstown Horse. Successive rushes brought them right up to the kopjes, when Colonel Otter was struck twice. one bullet inficting a nasty, but not dangerous, wound in the neck, and the other tearing the bandages from his shoulder. But he still cheered his men on until the kopjes were carried. The Boers bolted. The British losses were twenty killed and wounded"
 Military Situation Clearer Bloemfontein, April 29.-The recent oper- ations have tended to clear the military situation. General Pole-Carew's progress through the country has brought home to the Free Staters the fact that the policy of leniency has been abandoned. Besides seizing the stock of farmers, who, after having given their submission, were found fighting, he commandered all the available forage, giving receipts for the same, and this will prevent the Boers using the re- sources of the country.
 The Boers are now evidently returning in order to concentrate for opposing the Brit ish advance. Now that Thaba N'Chu, as well as the approaches, is strongly held, Ladybrand with the unfriendly basutos linging the border, is considered position of exereme danger for the Poers, the gray ity of which will be accentuated from the moment the British advance begins. British Will Hold Thaba N'Chu Bloemfontein, April 29.-It is understood that the British will continue to hold Thaba NChu owing to its strategic im- portance, and especially with view of checking future raids. The commanders that had recently been operating in the di- rection of Thaba NChu are melting away, the Boers quietly returning to their farms, and many of them taking the oath of al-

NEW YORK, February 15.-Count
and Countess Boni de Castellane sail
ed to-day on the French line steamer
La Gascogne for France. Both APP
peared to be in the best of humor as
they bade good bye to the friends who
were at the steamship pier to see them
off.
Our trip over here" said the Count,
'shas been most pleasant. My wife and
I intend to visit the United States
every year and will probably be over
again in the autumn"
The Count said that he and the
Countess were satisfied with the status
of the ~latter's estate. At first he said
that he would have nothing to say
about his fight with De Rodays, the
editor of the Figaro, but later said:
l" shall attend to the papers which
have s~landered me when l arrive in
Paris. After my suit against the Fig
arc has been settled, Fshall challenge
De Rodays to fight. l don't think he
will, but if he does not l will break his
bones. If he apologies for the miser-
able way in which he slandered NE /
will be satisfied"
George Gould, Edwin Gould and his
wife, Frank Gould and Miss Helen
Gould were among those at the pier to
see the Count and Countess off.

A NEW DEPARTURE
IN STEAMBOATING Tt BE INTRO
DUCED BY CAPT. ASA BOOTH
AND OTHERS.
SPEED AND LIGHT DRAUGHr
VIII he Accomplished by New Pat-
ents Which Make Those Essen-
tial Qualities PossibIe-Win Carr
ry Only Passengers-Other River
Items.

Capt Asa Booth, of this city, haA
completed plans which, il they prove
successful, will furnish a new depar.
ture in steamboating. Capt. Booth has
for a number of years back endeavored
to arrive at some definite plan whereby
speed, light draught and passenger
capacity can be combined in a river
packet, and he now thinks these three
most essential qualities can be OBJ
tanned. Every mechanism which will
secure those results in a packet has not
only been discovered, but tested, and
have stood the test.
In order to secure a light dalBght boat
it is necessary to minimize the weight
of the machinery. Capt. Booths pro-
posed boat, for which the plans have
been drawn up, will be a side-wheel
packet, with a capacity for carrying
passengers about equal to that of the
City of Pittsburg, although she will not
be as large. The boat will not carry
any freight. The engine used viii be-
the new CorlisS expansion engine,
Montgomery patent, which afforded
such a successful test about a month
ago at the Riverside structural iron
works in Aetnaville. In fact, it was
with a view of using the engine on the
proposed boat that Mr.. Montgomery, of
Bellaire, undertook the perfection of an
engine which would combine power and
lightness.
Drawings and models of a new side
wheel packet, designed to overcome the
resistance of the water. have been APP
piled for. This, with the power of the
new engine will bring a result OF won-
derful speed. The boat will be Is
inches in draught. This can be brought
about by the light machinery. This
will make it possible for the boat to
run eleven months in the year.
Another patent which will save time
in making the landings will be a hy-
draulic gang plank.
AS to the trade in which the boat will
be placed, Capt. Booth was undecided.
1t will either be daily trips to Parkers-
burg from this point, or two round
trips a week to Cincinnati. The work
of building the boat will be started
this spring. A company has been or
ganized and a charter will be applied
for.

Sail From New York.
NEW YORK, February 15.-Fifty-
seven men, nearly all young and stall
wart, to-day sailed ON the French line
steamship La Gascogne ON their way to
Boer lines in South Africa. Most of
the men are Irish-Americans. The
corps was recruited in Chicago by the
United Irish Societies there. To-day
they marched to the French line pier,
led by Major Edward T. McCrystal, of
the Sixty-ninth regiment, and Patrick
Egan, ex-Minister to Chill. They pre-
scented a fine appearance and were fire.
quently cheered as they marched
through the streets. They carried the
American and Red Cross flags. The
corps is in charge of Dr.. John P. Mac
Namara, chief surgeon. His associates
are Drs. Herbert H. McAuley, James j..
Slattery, r. D. Long, A. F. Conroy and
A. d. Alderholt.
Mr.. MacNamara said they were going
to aid the sick and wounded of the Boer
army. They will go from Havre to
some southern European port, whence
