The Queens Address-Speeches rom
the observation-disclosures Reply.

London, January 30.-The seventh
session of the Fourteenth parliament
of Queen Victoria opened at 2 O'Clock
p. m. After the customary formalities
Earl Halsbury read the queens speech,
The liberal leade in the house Of
lords, the Earl Of Kimberley, follow
ed. His lordship congratulated Lord
Salisbury on the conclusion Of the
agreement with Germany, but strongly
di%sapproved of the lone Of Mr.. Cham
berlain's speeches. He said:
w might meet a period of disaster,
and, although relations with the other
powers are friendly, it would be we'll
to consider h possibilities Of the fu-
ture. and for h government to be
prepared for all e~ventualities and all
dangers n be ready with the means
to surmount them. The government
does not seem to have been aware of
the scale of operations of the South
African republics"
LORD Salisbury in reply to the Earl
Of Kimberley asserted that there was
nothing in the stipulations Of the con
ventions to limit and hinder the i'm
p%ortation Of arms and ammunition into
the Transvaal through Lourenzo
Marques. Continuing, the premier
said:
why were we to know about the
importation Of arms? I believe guns
were into the Transvaal in
boilers and munitions of war in piano
cases. We a a small secret service
fund. If you want much information
you must give much money. I con-
slider the enormous amounts spent by
other governments. especially the
T~ransvaal, which / have heard on high
diplomatic authority spent $500, 90C
/ ga, 000, 000) in a single year, and the
small sums spent by England, making
it impossible for us to ave the omnis-
cience attributed TO US by Lord Kim
berley."
Later, the premier admitted the de-
~iciencies of the existing system, re-
marking that the treasury had ecquir.
ed a power which wa not to the pub.
lie benefit. He had not thought OF
looking into past history or examining
the amount of blame TO be attached tc
this or that minister. 1T is" he said
3 quite the right way of dealing witt
the present crisis. We must join to.
gether and exercise all our powers II

Goebel Declared Governor-The Capt.
to1 Guarded by Soldiers.

Frankfort, KY, January 30.-While
William Goebel lay at the point of
death in his room, as the result of an
assassin's bullet, the contest boards
which for two weeks a been listen
ing to the evidence in his contest for
the governors chair, declared him en-
titled to the seat.
The boards having in charge the con-
tests between Goebel and Taylor for
governor and Beckham and Marshall
for lieutenant governor met at z o'clock
tonight in the city hall to consider the
evidences submitted to them, and pre-
pare their report to the Legislature. a
few legal authorities were read to them
at the request of Senat Allen. who
wished light shed upon a few doubtful
points. Then by a strict party vote of
10 to l William Goebel was declared to
have been legally elected governor of
Kentucky. !.
The Observation-Disclosures contest was
then voted upon and a strict party
vote of 9 to ? settled this matter.
Several democrats sought to get to-
gether a quorum of both houses, hold
a night session, rush through the re-
ports and declare Goebel the governor
of Kentucky before morning, to give
him the honor before he died, but too
many legislators were away. 1t is a
certainty that Goebel will be made gov
ernor tomorrow if he is alive.
The republicans will probably. as
soon as the decision is rendered in ia
vor of Goebel, make application in the
United states circuit court at Cincin-
natl for IN injunction restraining Goe-
bel and Beckham from taking their
seats, and the battle will then be con-
tinued before Judge Taft of that court.
The republican attorneys and Gov
ernor Taylor are confident that at least
a temporary injunction will be granted
and that the ultimate victory will be
in their favor. The grounds alleged in
clude the prejudice of the legislative
body and the alleged unfitness of sew
eral members of the contest boards to
sit in judgment upon the case.
IN THE HANDS OF TROOPS.
Three hundred men of the Second
Kentucky infantry were camped
around the capitol buildings tonight
and 1,500 more are expected during the
night and evening.
All through the building where the
adjutant generals office is located to-
night lie sleeping soldiers, every man
with his cartridge belt still buckled
around his waist. The rifles are stack
ed outside the door, Sentries walking
beats beside them. The Calling gun
of the Lexington company is posted
west of the capitol steps and the range
to a row of small stores n dwelling
houses south of the capitol grounds is
carefully calculated. For weeks it
has been the story that, when an at
tack should be made upon the state
government by the disconnected of
either party, the firing would commence
from the upper windows of these build
ingS.
