Columbia. S. c., Feb. 1o.-There was q
hot fight in the House Of Representa-

There is hearty sympathy for the bill,

ton can be effected. The bill was n

fact that the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal Company has purchased nearly all

bill Is of peculiar significance. Debate
was adjourned until Monday.
During the debate Mr.. Weston pro-

that gentleman as favoring national
legislation as against State.

but 1 am opposed to this bridge and all

a bridge across the river there is, in my
mind, a feasible plan. Let them go
down Levitt avenue on the Norfolk

bridge, then widen that bridge suflici-
entity SO as to get two steam railway

public walk and driveway, to be free

ACTION OF DEMOCRATIC LEGIS-
LATURE.
When informed of the action of the
Democratic Legislature at Louisville In
refusing to return to Frankfort. Gov.
ernor Taylor said:
1t strikes me that their attitude is
somewhat inconsistent
They claim they cannot be protect
ed at Frankfort. and there is nobody
mere to modest them. They objected to
the presence of troops at a time when
there was far greater excitement and
danger than now. After things have
qufeted down they refuse to return he
cause they say they cannot be guar
anteed protection"
BACK TO FIRST CONDITIONS.
The action OF Governor TAYLOR TODAY
returns the gubernatorial fight to the
exact position it occupied on the day
following the Goebel assassination. with
the additional complication that there
was but one Legislature and one Gov
ernor. in fact. whereas there are now.
two claimants for the position and two
separate bodies. each claiming to be
the law-makihg power of Kentucky.
A DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE
Louisville, Ky, Feb 10.-The col
lapse of the peace negotiations through
Governor Taylor's rejection of the
Louisville agreement and the latter's
action in calling off the London Leris-
lature and partially withdrawing the
troops have left the fight over State
officers Invested of many OF its war
like features. but in worse legal tan
gle than ever. The receipt of the news
from Frankfort this afternoon was fol-
lowed Immediately by gathering of
the Democratic leaders.
At this conference were Senator
Blackburn, General Castleman, Presi-
dent CartT. of the Senate; Speaker
Trimble and others. At its conclusion
Governor Beckham sent to the Legis-
lature n message reciting the failure
of the peace negotiations and the CON
ditions existing at Frankfort as seen
by him and recommending that the
Legislature continue It's sessions in
Louisville, as he could not guarantee
their personal security, nor protect
them from unwarranted interference at
Frankfort.
Acting upon this suggestion the Leg
lslature decided to remain I'm Louisville
for the present, and both Houses ad-
journed to meet at the court house
Monday at noon. 1t is probable n Joint
resolution. which was offered to-day,
will then be adopted. calling for the
appointment Of a committee to investi-
gate the conditions at Frankfort as far
as they affect the safety of the legis-
lators. The members do not accent
