KEEPS EVERYONE AWAY.
Governor Taylor Refused to BE Served
%' With Amy Legal Papers.

Governor Taylor Refused to BE Served
With Any Legal Papers.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 3.-Governor
Taylor ordered that nobody should be
admitted to the grounds Of the capitol
under any circumstances. The. passes
which have heretofore entitled holders
to go through lines We're taken up as
soon as presented. The object Of the
new orders is to prevent any civilian
from serving any legal paper upon him.
It is the intention of the Democrats to
secure an injunction restraining
Governor Taylor from interfering in
any way with the meetings Of the legis-
lature and enjoining him and Lieuten-
ant Governor Marshall from exercising
the functions of state officers. There is
no chance whatever that service will be
secured on Governor Taylor, as the ex-
ecutive building is circled by sentries,
and an entire company is posted night
and day in the ante-room, just outside
his Office. Every civilian who could
possibly be a bearer Of legal documents
will be turned back by the soldiers.
No attempt has been made to enforce
the pardon of Douglas Hayes. Governor
Taylor by his refusal to recognize the
state courts has placed himself in such a
position that he cannot make legal
process against the warden. The one
thing left for him to do is to iberate
Hayes by force, and he has evinced no
disposition as yet to employ this means

Ways and Means Committee Decides on a
Tariff for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-At a special
meeting of the ways and means COM
mittee it was decided to report bill
establishing tariff system for Porto
Rico on a basis of 25 per cent of the
rates in the regular tariff laws. ee
Reports also were received from the
subcommittee which has considered to
what extent the term United States, as
used in the Constitution, relates to the
outlying islands recently acquired by
this country. A majority Of the sub
committee, comprising the Republican
members, reported in substance that
congress had practically unlimited power
in dealing with these territories. The
minority, comprising Mr.. Richardson
pem.) and Newlands (Silver), hold in
substance that all constitutional restric-
tions extend to the newly acquired ter
ritory, and that the powers Of congress
are thereby limited.

fourth congress by his earnest cham
Spionship of free silver, assailed his Dem
ocratic colleagues during the day for
their opposition to expansion ina speech
that made the floors and galleries roar.
Mr.. Sibley has recanted his views on

sion was an original Democratic doc.
trine, promulgated by Thomas Jefferson
and adhered to by James Madison.

eloquent language he pictured the des

Mr.. Sibley received an impressive dem

The remainder Of the debate was un

Of mediation in the Transvaal war

CONGRESS HAS It
Portion Of Philippine Commits
sion's Report Transmitted by
the President.
It Deals Mainly With the Proper
Government to Be Given
the Islanders.
Unqualifiedly Favor a System
Similar to That of Our
Territories.

WAsHINGTRk, Feb. 3.The president
has transmitted to congress the first
volume Of the report of the Philippine
commission. 1t is atyolume of 264 pages
including the appendix and is signed by
Professor Schurman, Admiral Dewey,
Colonel DENLY and Professor Worcester.
The principal subject dealt with is the
plan of government proposed by the
commission which includes discussion
of the Spanish government existing prior
to the war, the yarions reforms desired
by the Filipinos and the constitutions
proposed by them, together with the
conclusions and plans suggested
by the commission. The report:
also covers many other matters
connected with the social administration
of the islands, racial characteristics, ed
ucational, secular and religious orders,
the Chinese in the islands; public:
health, currency, etc, as well as the
conditions and needs Of the United
States in the Philippines from a naval
and maritime standpoint The second
volume Of the report, which will not be-
ready for several weeks, will contain a.
detailed description of the climate and
natural resources of the island. The
chief interest in the report naturally
centers in the plan of government pro-
posed by the commission.
The commission announces itself un-'
qualifedly in favor of a government of,
the Philippine analogous to that Of a
territory Of the United States, with a
governor appointed by the president
They say it is desirable that the inhabi-
tants of the archipelago should enjoy
large measure of home rule in local af-
fairs; their towns to enjoy substantially
the rights and privileges of towns In a
territory.
The provinces should be vested with
substantially functions of a county in a
territory; this system might be applied
to Luzon and Viscayan islands at once.
and beginning might be made on the
coast of Mindanao. The Sulu archipelago
calling for special arrangements with
the sultan, the commission say, need
not be considered in this connection.
The Filipinos could manage their own
town and county affairs through their
own offices whom they could elect with
no help from American officials except.
such as would be involved in controlling
central government at Manila The
suffrage should be restricted by educa-
tional Or property qualifications OR both.

TWO MEN PERISHED.

T. j. McAdam and w. ID. Kelly Lose Their
Lives at East Grand Forks.
. EAST GRAND FORKS, Mimi, Feb. s.
Two of the oldest citizens of this city
met death in the fire that destroyed the
Kelly & Gillian saloon. W. D. Kelly,
one of the proprietors, and T. J. Nc
Adam were missed and their charred
bodies were found later. The two men
left Dan Sullivan's saloon about 4:3O a.
m. to go home and were never again
seen alive. It is supposed that in pass
ing Kelly's place they had smelled es-
Gaping gas and had gone into the. base
ment by an outer stairway to investi-
gate. The theory is that on entering
they had Lit a match which caused the
explosion that occurred about o'clock,
badly shaking the building and setting
it on fire.

Senator Blackburn and Others Visit Presi-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-A Kentucky
delegation, consisting of Senator elect
Blackburn, representative Rhea, Smith,
Allen and Gilbert, and ex-Representa-
tive Thompson, called on President Nc
Kinley to protest against any federal
interference in that state. Senator
Lindsay was also there, but he did
not come with the other gentlemen.
The Kentucians said that federal in
terferencein Kentucky would be sure
to result in serious trouble, as the first
move Of troops would cause an uprising
that could not be easily quelled. They
expressed the opinion that the difficulty
would be adjusted without further vio-
lence if the people of Kentucky We're al
lowed to settle the matter themselves.
When Senator Blackburn left the
president, he said his interview was
altogether pleasant and satisfactory.

AN IMMENSE ARMY.

England Has Over Two Hundred Thousand
Men in Africa or Af1oat.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Mr. Wyndham' s
remarkable declaration in the house OF
commons that in a fortnight Great
Britain would have 10000 regulars,
1000 Canadians and Australians and
$4,000 South African colonials in South
Africa, is received with wonderment.
Of this total of $4,000 troops and 23a
guns all are there now with the excep-
ton Of $4,000 afoat. Beyond compari-
son this is the largest force Great Brit
ain has ever put in the field. At the
end of the Crimean war she had scraped
together about $4,000 men Wellington
at Waterloo had about $4,000.
Mr.. Wyndham's speech was the
strongest defense the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done. The general
opinion of the morning papers is that
his figures
VIII Astonish the Country.
Roughly speaking $4,000 only are at the
front, 10000 others have been lost and
10000 are shut up in Ladysmith. There
are nearly 100000 troops who have not
yet been in action, besides those at sea.
Why SO many have not been engaged is
due to lack of land transports to convey
the supplies. It seems that the force of
these masses must destroy the equiib-
rum which holds the British forces
stationary wherever they are in contact
with the Boer army. Lack of trans
portation and organization will not ex-
plain adequately why, when generals at
the front need reinforcements, they only
get them in very small numbers.
Knowledge is slowly penetrating to
London that large garrisons must be
kept in Cape Colony to hold down the
Cape Dutch, who, as every one knows,
Outnumber the British Residents
three to two. Cable scraps received
during the last 70 hours do not furnish
much information on the military oper-
ations. Many Independent reports CON
firm the rumor that General Butler told
his command on the 2sth that he hoped
to relieve Ladysmith within week. 1t
is believed in some trustworthy quarters
that he is again assailing the Boer lines.
A further list of casualties published
by the war Office brings the total from
the crossing of the Tugela to the aban-
#donment Of Spion kop to 1885 officers
and men.
Exceptional activity at the navy yards
continues, but a correspondent Of the
Associated Press learns that this is
chiefly new construction and refitting
work. Three cruisers We're commits
stoned at Devonport this month.

TO ENJoIN TAYLOR.

Junction Proceedings.

Democratic Legislators File Notice of In.
Junction Proceedings.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb, -Goyernor
Taylor has been served with notice of
the suit for an injunction to restrain
him from interfering with the action Of
the Legislature and to prevent him from
holding session of the legislature at
London. Service was secured despite
the most stringent orders to the sentries
to allow nobody to pass in or out Of the
capital grounds Orders to this effect
were given early in the morning, but
were revoked later, and those having
passes were allowed free access to all
parts Of the capitol square.
As soon as word was brought to Gov
ernor Taylor that the petition for the
injunction had been filed, the orders
were renewed, but they were not re-
.newed quickly enough. Alonzo Walker,
the stenographer Of the Democratic
attorneys, gained entrance to the
grounds before the renewal Of
the order, and watching his chance,
pinned q copy Of the notice on the door
of the executive mansion, which action
constitutes d legal notice to Governor
Taylor. Walker was at once placed
under arrest, and is now in the guard
house. tt is announced that a special
session Of the Legislature viii be held at
q o'clock in the Capitol hotel, and there
are rumors that all those who take part
in the meeting viii be placed under ar
rest and taken to London
No confirmation Of this story can be
obtained, and it is probably only ruInor,

ing are concerned
