Operations of Importance,

London, Feb. 5.-A correspondent of
the Associated Press learns from official
sources that absolutely no confirmation
has been received by the war office OF
the report that Butler has re-crossed the
Tugela river and is marching on Lady,
smith. On the contrary, according to in
formation OF the war Office at the pres
rent moment, there is every indication
that things are quiet at the front, and
that no immediate movement is antici-
pated.
Regarding dispatches from Ladysmith
saying Buffers guns have been heard
there, it is surnised that some practice
may have been going on with the bat
teries which have just reached the front.
The war Office statement that it has
received no confirmation of the report
that Butler has re-crossed the Tugela
river has failed to shake the public be-
lief that operations of tremendous im-
portance are proceeding at the Tugela,
and 1t is thought that either the denial
was prompted by a desire to keep the
military movements as secret as possible
until something is accomplished or that
Butler is keeping the home office in the,
dark pending results. 1t is obviously ex-
tremely difficult to extract the truth
from the conflicting statements regard
ing Buffers movements, but most of the
commentators agree that the gist of the
items seems to confirm the belief that
movements of Importance are in prog
ress. 1t is true correspondents at Bull
ler's headquarters convey the impress
sion that his main force is still south Of
the Tugela. but 1t Is easily conceivable
that tne dlspatches are SO censored.

THE REPUBLICANS
OF KENTUCKY
GIVE THEIR VIEWS,

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 5.-The following
statement i'll regard to the position taken
by the republicans in controversy over
the governorship of Kentucky was made
today by one in authority in the repub-
lican party. The statement was made
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press with the full knowledge and per-
sonal approval OF Governor Taylor, who
heard every word and the interview may
be regarded, therefore. as official:
'The legislature was convened at Lon
don under plain constitutional provisions.
1t cannot legally act anywhere else and
all attempted acts done by any rump
legislature anywhere else are void. The
matter must be amicably settled or there
ID no surrender. The republican major
ity is beyond question. The constitution
provides that one receiving the greatest
number OF votes shall be governor and
by that declaration We propose to stand
'The republicans are denied trial, de-
MED a hearing. They were deprived OF
their rights at the ballot box and also
at every election tribunal in the state.
Notwithstanding all that. they won and
any honest man in Kentucky knows this
to be true. The liberties of the people
must be upheld under the law, if possi-
BILE. but no partisan court has the right
10 tie the ndnQS or the chief executive
Of the state and, any attempt to do so
will be disregarded. The lives and lib
critics OF the people are, in part entrust-
ed to the chief executive inasmuch as it
is his sworn duty to protect this liberty
against fraudulent judgments written to
overthrow the win OF the people as it is
to protect them from invasion of for
eign foe.
.'Some criticisms have been made
against US because the rump legislature
was not allowed to assemble. 1t was
certainly incumbent upon the authorities
that no such assemblage of men should
be allowed. out OF which might grow fur
ther riot and strife. When the legis-
lature was adjourned the whole city was
convulsed and in frenzy. Both sides
were ready to do desperate acts. Threats
were heard everywhere. The contest COM
mittee denied counsel right to argue and
everything was in chaos and excitement.
No one who was not present and on the
ground can comprehend the greater dan
ger to life and property If the legislature
had met amid this excitement and at
tempted to carry into effect the partisan
decision OF the committee. 1t would

Denied by Taylor.

Frankfort, Feb. 5.-Governor Taylor
this morning gave to the Associated Press
a denial over his own signature Of the
report that the legislature would con-
venc in Frankfort tomorrow. and that he
faa telegraphed the republican mem
tnrs at London to return. The statement
reads as follows:
'.NO order has been made revoking the
order convening the legislature at Lon
don. (Signed)
wv. S. TAYLOR,
Governor"
In an interview with the Associated
Press representative, Governor Taylor

turning back. The legislature will con-
vene at London, where it will continue
to sit until there is change in policy.
The future Is not yet determined upon."

SATISFACTORILY

Louisville, KY, Feb 5.-The cores.

'"The session Of the general assembly

Change In HendMenr.

Undoubtedly the most important
change that has been made in forms
has reference to the crown. This, for
most hat shapes, is higher than they
have been hitherto, save for capelines,
fat at the top and rather wider at the
base. Some toques have domed crowns,
but many are shaped like hats, the
difference between them being slight
and depending mostly on the arrange
ment of the trimming and the width
of the brim.
AS | foresaw, the fiat toque was
merely passing within. A medium
width OF hat brim has been adopted
pretty generally, and II may be allow
ed to be fiat or be turned up at the
side or I'm front or bent down or over
the brow. The new models include
very few picture hats and capelines.
On the other hand, they number among
them some very decided novelties in
the shape of variation OF the amazon
hat, bent down back and front and
curving up ut the sides, while no
spring show is complete without its
specimen capotes. Millinery Trade Re-

now smart gowns are shown the prin-
cess dress takes it's place among them.
The smart toilet pictured in the IL
lustration is of dark gray blue cloth,
with the long skirt gathered all round
the waist, save in the middle of the
front, where it is quite plain, the
cloth being laid in, a deep box plait at
either side. The cloth and lining are
hung separately. but mounted on the
same waistband. the lining being fin
ished at the foot with a plated rufiie
of silk matching the cloth.
The blouse opens at the neck in a
small V and fastens from thence to
the waist a little to the left of the cen
ter, the edge being cut in scallops, Dor
dered with stitching and adorned with
small crystal buttons. The small
chemisette and high collar band are of
white satin trimmed with spaced rows
of gold braid. The sleeves are very
small and long, and the belt Is fas-
tened with a large buckle.-Philadel-

To the Editor of Life:
Dear Sir: 1 would like very much to
hear your explanation of why YOU arc
gong to support Mckinley for Prcsi-
dent, while denouncing his imperial
policy.
Which do you consider the worst.
the abandonment of the Constitution
and all the principles that have made
us the greatest nation on earth. or free
silver thing which we always had
prior to 1873? Will YOU please answer
through your paper? Yours respect
fully, r. u. BOYLE.
We are not going to support Mr. Nc
kiniey-nor Mr.. Bryan. We are not
going to support Imperialism or free
silver The issue of this election cam
paign is Imperialism. The election of
Mr. Bryan would not mean free silver.
He could not force it upon the country
If he tried. Congress is for gold, and
will SO remain.
Mr.. McKinley's re-electlon-cspc-
cially with MIR. Roosevelt at his elbow
would promise prolonged and bloody
orGie of Notwithstanding is. OF CON
quest. debt and dishonor.
AS to the candidates personally, we
prefer Mr.. Bryan. He has convictions
such as they are-and he carries "a
spine"
1t follows from the above that Life
does not want to see Mr.. Mckinley re-
elected. 1t is much to be regretted
that one possessing such strong con-
victions as Life against Imperialism,
and McKinleyism, has not the spine
to vote as he thinks-for Bryan. The
victory will be to Mckinley or Bryan
vote for anyone else is but the veri-
est shamming at honesty of ultimate
outcome.
The only way to defeat Mr.. McKin-
ley's re-election-especiall with Mi.
Roosevelt at his elbow" and bloody
orgie of 1mperialism-that is. of con-
quest, debt and dishonor." is to vote
for Mr.. Bryan.

IN POOR TASTE.

Why certain Northern conten,pora-
Mesfshouid affect to see any paralIelism
between the war now being waged in
the philippines and the Civil War is
mystery to any mind not the victim of
monomania. 1t is as silly as the cool
pretepse of the McKinleyitcs that who
ever does not approve the destiny and
loot program is an enemy of his coun-
try, If not double-dyed traitor. The
Civil War is really over, though the
contemporaries in question seem hardly
aware OF 1t, and the real enemy of his
country is he who would seek to wake
the sleeping passion of sectionalism
and TO foment d!scord for discord's
sake, or the petty ends Of partisan spite
ard malevoience. By their valor on
the baftlefelds OF the Civil War: by
their acceptance in good faith of the
verdict OF the sword when superior
numbers tyiumphed: by their devotion
TO common country since the close
OF that unhappy strife. the people Of
the South have abundantly earned the
right to expect immunity from insults

therefore. to find an intelligent news

that they were fighting on the deren-
sivc against subjugation and for the
right To govern themselves according
to their own notions. Put down the

Springfield paper in those ante Aguin-
aldian days.

plain that it did not want the Seces-

to behave themselves and submit 10
the sovereign authority of the United
States. for their own good and the good
of the rest of us.
But this is the only Kind of .subiu-
CATION proposed by President McKin-
ley or anybody else in the case of the
Tagalogs.''
To say the least of 1t, this is in OK

tircly suporlluous bit of offensive i'm
