THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.

| Mr.. Tay lor, Of Kentucky, has been
served with notice Of suit for an 10.
Junction to restrain him from interior
iDg with the action OF the legislature
and to prevent him from holding a ses-
sion OF the legislature at London, KY.
| A crisis il expected when an attempt il
made by the State courts to enforce the
writs and remove the militia. As has
been stated, the Pre- sident has refused
TO interfere ia the matter. There can
no longer be any concealment OF the
fact that affairs are bordering on con
hict 10 arms. Two companies of in
isntry have gone TO London, where
| they will endesvOr to preserve the
| peace during the session OF the legisls-
ture that will, under the proclamation
OF Taylor, begin 10 that place on Tues
day next.
1t seems to be well understood among
the democratic members of the legisls-
lure that the session at London will
be ignored altogether by them, and
that no democrat will attend, until
compelled to do So"
The democratic members of the leg
islature held secret session at a hotel
10 Frankfort and effected regular or.
gsnization, also reatfirming the election
of Goebel as Governor and Beckhsm as
Li.uten mt Governor. Resolutions will
be offered by the democratic commit
tees in the legislature offering reward
of $50, 900 for the arrest and conviction
of the assassin of Goebel.
Goebel's condition late last night was
improved, and his physicians even ex-
pressed hope of his ultimate recovery.
The democrats propose to appoint an
adjutant general, who, if the present
State militia do not obey his orders,
may organize military force of his
own, which will mean trouble.

not only recognizes both of them. but
promises not to interfere with either.

BUTLER AT TUGELA RIVER
Says He Occupies the South Bank
and Has Seized the Bridge.
THOUGHT IMPORTANT.
Belief that Butler ia about to Attack
the Boer Position-The Losses
in Saturdays Battle.

London, Jan. 1.-THE war office this
morning received the following dispatch
from Gen. Butler, dated Springfield,
Thursday, Jan II, at 92O evening:
occupied the south bank Of the Tugeia
seized pont. The river is in flood. The
enemy is strongly entrenched about four
and half miles to the north. ~
London, Jan. 12-Apart from the def
mite news that Gen. Butler has COM
menced a second attempt to cross the Tu,
gela river, the only official news this
morning is the list of casualties among
the British officers in the fight at Lady
smith Saturday, January q. showing IL
killed and q wounded. Among the lat
ter was Lieut-Col. William Henry Dick
Cunningham. V. c., commander of the
Second battalion of the Gordon High
landers since 1897, who has since sue
cumbed to his wounds. He was i'm
mensely popular everywhere and his
death will cause widespread sorrow.
Gen. Buffers movement, obviously, Is
of thanking character, but whether it is
intended to push the advance home or
whether his operations are only feint
to cover an attack in force on the Boer
position at Hlangwana mountain, re-
mains to be seen. Springfield, from
whence Gen. Buffers dispatch was sent,
is sixteen miles west of Frere. The last
news from Springfield was that it was
held by the Johannesburg corps under
Gen. Ben Viljoen, and that the Beers
had big guns in position at Potgieters
Drift, apparently six or eight miles north
of Springfield and across the Big Tugela.
The possession of the drift and the pont
is regarded of great Importance. 1t is
reported here that Gen. Butler submitted
his plan of campaign to Lord Roberts
fol u no LOT
that Gen. Roberts sanctioned it.
There is a belief in some quarters that
Gen, Hector Macdonald will succeed
Lord Methuen in command of the Brit
ish force at Modder river ~
The Daily Mail says: "We learn that
in the attack on Ladysmith last Satur-
day, January &, the British losses were
IA officers killed, 81 wounded, and over
800 non-commissioned officers and men
killed or wounded The Boer losses we
hear are estimated at between 1000 and
3000." 49,

DISGUST AND INDIGNATION.
NO Confidence that the Liberals Would
be Any improvements

London, Jan. 12.-First lord of the
treasury, A. j. BalfOur, is attra cting all
the vituperation of the ministerial press.
His speech at Manchester causes in
creased irritation as the weakness of his
defense of the government becomes more
apparent. Only the Daily Telegraph Of
all the London papers defends the gov
eminent. The Times and the Standard
head the crusade. The former declares
that the public is calling for explanations
and means to get them, and also finds
fault with Mr.. Balfour for his frivolous
and jaunty tone. The Standard says it
is hard to feel perfect confidence in states
men who coolly shift their own miscalcu-
latons upon fate and inevitable neces-
sity."
Liberals Would be No Better.
1t is not thought, however, that all the
indignation will lead to any practical &C
ton. The government probably will he
continued in office merely for the reason
that the public would have no greater
confidence in anyone else. Were the Lib
eral party united under Lord Rosebery
the Tories would not survive the meeting
of Parliament by week. As it is, the
absolute want of anyone to succeed them
IN whom the public has confidence is
likely to keep the present ministers in
power, despite the outcries of the press,
while they will also be helped out by the
popular prejudice against swapping
horses amid stream.
Confidence Grievousiy Shattered.
At the same time the feeling of disgust
and indignation with the authorities In
generals curiously universal. Not for
generation has England felt it's trust and
confidence in the government so grievous-
ly shattered, and that is why the country
at present is almost pathetically stalking
its trust on Lords Roberts and Kitchener.
If this hope fails it is difficult to foresee
what will happen.
In the meantime the reassembling Of
Parliament is being hurried 1t has now
been decided that it shall meet January
60 instead of February Is, as was orig
inally intended
The war Office announces that the Brit
ish casualties at Ladysmith January 6,
among the rank and file were 1875 killed
and 242 wounded.
Lady Methuen has issued an absolute
contradiction of the rumors that Lord
Methuen is Ill. or that he was injured
by the falling of his horse at the battle
of MagersfOntein.

ship Fearless has seized the bark Maria l.,
which arrived on Saturday from Argentine,
with sulphur.
London, Jan. 12.-The Standard has
the following dispatch, dated Monday,
from Frere camp:
Our patrols have searched both TANKS of
the Boer position. They found large
camp. five miles east of Colenso, evidently in
anticipation of a British attempt at turn
ing movement
The Cape Town correspondent of the
DAILY Mail, telegraphing Monday, says:
The vanguard of the Sixth division is
waiting at Table Bay until the arrival of
LORD Roberts.
Seizures on False Reports.
The theory is now advanced that the
seizures of the German mail steamers
Herzog and General, since released, were
made on purposely misleading information
supplied to British agents, the design be-
ing to embroil Great Britain and Ger
many in quarrel.

The Question of Contraband.
London, Jan. II. -Inquiries made this
afternoon by United States Ambassador
Choate, regarding the disposition of the
Beatrice's American cargo, elected moth
ing definite, the war office having re-
ceived no further information on this
matter. Varying interpretations are
placed on the governments decision on
the subject of contraband but the Asso-
ciated Press is Informed that Its original
conception was true and the reports that
Great Britain gives up logical rights of
search and depends entirely upon ships
manifeSts are incorrect.
In spite of cabled denials. all TIE Amer

WAITING FOR ROBERTS.
Armchair Critics Indulge in Opin-
ions and Couiectures.


London, Jan. 12-The rumor that Gen.
Buffers inaction is due to the exhaustion
OF his reserve ammunition, in conjunction
with his reported lack of shells, has
caused no little uneasiness in some QUAR-
tiers here, but in well-informed circles
the story is discredited. 1t is pointed
out that Gen. Butler would not have
fought the action of December Is had
his supply or shells and cartridges been
short; for even Il he had been successful
he would have been unable TO follow
up his victory. Unhappily, however,
there is no doubt that here at home
there are scarcely any shells in store
ana the government and private facto-
RES are working with feyerish activity
to repair the deficiency.
Waiting fer Lord Roberts.
Armchair critics, who in the absence
CT reportorial descriptions from the seat

ana opinion, conclude that not much is to
be expected of the British hosts in South
Africa until Lord Roberts shall have had
plenty OF time to think and fresh levies
shall have arrived. Time is working now
for the Beers. Each day makes more diff
ncult the three bcleaguered positions.
Methuen's Injury to Spine.

hrm the report that Lord Methuen has
been recalled to England, inquiries made

Only a Social Call.
With reference to a report that the
Beers will refuse to receive Adelbert
Hay, the new United States consul at
Pretoria because he was in constant
communicates" with the British foreign
office while in London, the Associated
press is informed that Mr.. Hays com
munlcatiOn with the foreign office con-
sisted OF Il social call on Lord Salisbury
which lasted only few minutes and was
undertaken purely because as a son of
the United States secretary of state and
former ambassador at London. he de-
sired to personally pay his fathers com
pliments to the premier. The Associated
press is officially informed that Lord
Salisbury and Mr.. Hay did not discuss
Transvaal matters.
Quiet on the TuGela.
The Daily Mail publishes this dispatch
from its special correspondents
Frere Camp, Jan. S.---With the exception
of the usual Smelling of the Boer position by
the naval guns the force here remained in
active today. Eight Boer camps were seen
by patrol along the Tugela river On this
side or the river to the east was reckoned
TO contain 500 men. In westerly direction
all was reported quiet.
Natives state that on Sunday when the
British reconnoitered Coenso the Beers hur-
ried from Springfield. This supports the
belief that the defense Of Colenso was
weakened in order to REINFORCE the attack
upon Ladysmith.
