INCIDENTS OF THE DEBATE.

London, Feb. THE debate In the House Of
Commons attracted little attention until Mr.
Bafour rose. A full house listened to Mr.. AS
quith. strong speaker, who always commands
attention, but the gathering afterward was COM
paratively listless.
Mr. Asquith's speech was rather a personal
explanation of his position than an attack
upon the Government When he expressed the
opinion that the Colonial Secretary would be
glad to have a chance to re-edt his dispatches
Mr.. Chamberlain interposing in a low tone
said: IT would not alter a single word"
Toward the close of his speech Mr.. Asquith
outlined his ideas of settlement. OF which Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman later expressed his
approval Mr.. Asquith said
The settlement must be no patched up affair
1t must secure us against renewal of the war
and 1t must give equal rights.
At each of these points the Conservatives
cheered Then came the turn of the Liberals
as Mr.. Asquth added: The fourth condition is
that the ascendancy of one race must not be fol-
lowed by the ascendancy of another"
Then came curious scene, the House listen
ing in dignified silence to fiery denunciaton of
the war and all connected with it by Mr. Lloyd
George. Radical Member for Caernarvon.
Sir Henry Campben-Bannerman began his
speech to almost empty benches. the members
noisily returning as he went on. What little
eHect the speech might nave haQ was SpOlieQ Dy
the announcement of the result of the York City
election after which there nothing except
loud gossip and laughter from the Unionist
benches. This somewhat dscourteous treatment
rendered the speech almost inaudible. and was
much resented by the Liberals.
The election had just the contrary effect for
Mr.. Balfour, who was heard at his best, and
whose points cheered. There can be no
doubt that the election approving the Govern
ment's policy turned several wavering votes
against the amendment.
humorous incident occurred when Mr. Bal
four remarked that Mr. Chamberlain might
justly boast OF his achievements at the Colonial
Office. When the word boast fell from the
lips OF the Government leader member of the
House, whose name is not given, calculated in
a tone OF deep conviction, He will" At this
there a burst of laughter all over the House.
The result of the division was greeted by the
Conservatives with triumphant cheers

imperialists, and the sending OF the contingents.

uent would be expected to follow In the future.

cial train. which started at o'clock.
The demonstration in honor of Senator Goebel
in the city and county which he had represented
in the State Senate for twelve years was impress
sively simple. A large detail of police about
the station, and another detail kept the streets
clear to the Odd Fellows' Hall, where the body

Louisville conference, and that an chance OF
trouble Will be avoided
When asked for his opinion OF the conse-
ouences should Governor Taylor decline to ac-
cept the agreement Senator Blackburn said:
That is a question do not care to discuss
made now Il will lead to endless complications
before the end is reached
There lis not in the city of Frankfort single
member of the Legislature. The Republicans
are az London and the Democrats in places
along the border of the State, from where it will
be easy to escape should any attempt be MADE
hy the military to arrest and convey them to
London But such Republicans Of prominence
as are here seem inclined TO believe that Gov
ernor Taylor will accept the agreement. They
all admit. however. that he has given as yet no
oral or written evidence of his intention. One
OF the attorneys who has been prominent on the
Republican side in the contest cases. and who
therefore does not wish his name used, said to-
night:
1t is, in my opinion, the duty of Governor Tay-
Tor 10 sign the agreement II he does not ne

know that he win do what he believes to be
right and best for the welfare of the State Ii
seems to me that under the circumstances there
can hardly be two opinions as to what his course
may be-
Frankfort to-day enjoyed at least one day of
quiet, the first it has experienced since the
Goebel-Tayior contest began. three weeks ago.
The town bare OF politicians, there was no
excitement IN the streets. no crowds around the
corners. and throngs in the Hobbies of the
Capitol Hotel 1t a breathing spell fully
appreciated by the citizens OF the city.
Orders for additional militia are said to have
been countermanded. Several companies of the
State Guard have been holding themselves in
readiness to move to the capital The action is
construed by Democrats to indicate disposition
on the part of Governor Taylor to acquiesce
in the agreement Of attorneys in Louisville this
morning
The following dispatch received here
yesterday from Senator Deboe CRep):
Washington. D. c.. February f. 1900
Eon- W. s. Taylor: The unanimous sentiment
here is that you are wrong in preventing the
Legislature from meeting, and that you should
submit the disputed questions TO the civil courts
Federal assistance cannot be given you on your
reQuisition long the Legislature is in
session and can be convened. There is no doubt
but Il can be convened If you will permit. The
Democrats intend that if any violence occurs
you shall be the aggressor. You Will by forcible
resistance ALLEVIATE all who formerly sympa-
thized with your case. No assistance Answer.

PLANS FOR ARMING ENGLISH.

London, Feb TN the absence of war news
this morning Spenser Wilkinson in THE Morn,
ing Post" discusses the problem of arming the
nation at home. He says: --.--
There is such intense and widespread in
terest in the army and it's management that the
nation has itself to thank II the solving OF the
problem should not be the history OF the next
few months
He proceeds to argue that CONSUMPTION would
be valueless unless the general management of
the army were first remodelled" On this point
he says:
A War Office that for thirty years has not
known what to do with the volunteers would
not know what to do with half million con-
scripts.
Mr.. Wilkinson also discusses the use of the
bayonet, remarking:
This weapon very seldom comes into actual
use Its effect Is the spirits of both sides
rather than the bodies of either. The Brit
ish, by using formations At for charging, but not
for shooting, have lost ten times many men
the Beers have lost by British bayonets.

GERMANY STANDS BY ENGLAND.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-With reference to the attempt
of French diplomacy and journalism to induce
Germany to Join in movement against England
in Egypt, a high official at the Foreign Office
made the following statement this evening:
Germany will not join movement to reopen
the Egyptian question. Aside from the question
whether France and Russia mean honestly, Ger
many is of the opinion that 1t would be unloyal
and unfair to seize a moment when England Is
deeply engaged elsewhere for such steps.
