Mount will refuse to honor a requisition
for Governor Taylor's return, and that the
warrant has been issued merely to keep
him from going to Kentucky of his own vo-
lition. 1t is claimed that the Democrats
fear the effect the Governors arrest might
have, and that they are pursuing the wiser
course of keeping him out of Kentucky If
they can.
Governor Mount late last night had re-
ceived no official information in regard TO
the warrant which has been issued for
to say at that time what he would do in
case requisition papers were presented for
the return of Governor Taylor. 1t is fair
to assume, though, that as Governor Mount
declined to honor the requisition for the
extradition of Mr.. Finley, because he did
not believe he would obtain fair trial in
Kentucky, and as the conditions in that
State are in no wise changed. he would fol-
low in Governor Taylor's case the precedent
established in the case of Mr.. Finley.
Governor Taylor and Mr.. Finley will re-
turn to this city from Martinsville to-day.
when it is probable the Governor will de-
clue as to his future action.
1t is positively stated by William Boswell
G. Co.. general agents of the Provident Life
Assurance Society that Governor Taylor
has signed a contract with the association
TO be its executive manager for the State,
but as the Governor has announced his in
tention of being a candidate this fall there
is a disposition to doubt the statement

Although Admiral Kempff's cablegram

been detained at Tien-Tsin by the tech-
nical objection of the Chinese authorities.
The very smallness Of the force which the
admiral is sending at Mr.. Conger's re-

LONDON, May 31.-Two belated dis
patches from Lord Roberts were given out
by the War Office to-day. The first, dated
Germiston, May 80. follows: 'In answer to
a flag of truce I sent to Johannesburg

see me. He begged me to defer entering
the town for twenty-four hours, as there

Brabant reports that on May 2S two of his
patrols. consisting of two officers and

taken prisoners"

and several field guns and pompoms.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 31.-The issu-
ance of bench warrant to-day for the ar
rest of w. S. Taylor. former Governor of
Kentucky. was the first official notice that
an indictment had been returned naming
Mr. Taylor as an accessory to the murder
of William Goebel. 1t had been rumored
for weeks that the indictment had been re-
turned. but the officials refused to either
confirm or deny it. The indictment was
filed and entered of record April 10. 1t
reads:
"The grand jury of the county of Frank
lin, in the name and by authority of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, accuse Will
liam s. TAILOR, of this commonwealth, of
being accessory before the fact TO the will
full murder of William Goebel, committed
as follows, viz: The said William 8. Tay-
lor. in the said county of Franklin, on the
30th day of January, A. D. 1900. and before
the finding of this indictment, unlawfully,
willfully and feloniously, of his malice

the death and procure the murder Of Will

The bench warrant commands the sheriff
or other arresting officer to arrest William
S. Taylor and deliver him to the jailer of
Franklin county. On the back Of the in
dictment about fifty persons are named
witnesses for the commonwealth. The
bench warrant was placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff John Suter, who is acting
in the absence of the sheriff. who is at Hot

WILL BE HERE TO-DAY.
Reasons Advanced for the Making
Public of the Taylor Indictment.


In view of the announcement from Frank
fort, KY, that w. S. Taylor has been in
dicted for completely in the murder of Goe-
bel and that a warrant has been issued for
his arrest, it is expected that an officer
from Kentucky will arrive in this city to-
day and ask Governor Mount 10 honor a
requisition for Governor Taylors extradi-
ton. The announcement is in no way a
surprise. for Governor Taylor has repeat
edly stated that he believed he had been
indicted and that the Goebel Democrats
were only waiting an opportune moment to
make IL public.
Just why the indictment has been held
up has been a matter of conjecture even
Governor Taylor and his friends differing
as 20 the cause. The fact, though. that
the indictment has been made public just
after Governor Tayior's announcement
that he would accept the gubernatorial
nomination this fall. is looked upon by the
Governors friends as significant. 1t is be-
lieved that the publication of the indict-
ment is neither more nor less than a po-
litical move on the part OF the Democrats
to keep Governor Taylor out of Kentucky.
II is argued that the Kentucky Democrats
know that in all probability Governor
