test. They assured the president that the
law and constitution of Kentucky had
been strictly followed by the Democrats
in the contest over the governorship, and
that they proposed to stand by the law
The crisis that had arisen, they desired
should be met in the courts and deter
mined by the law. The Democrats, they
asserted, would abstain from violence.
They simply desired lawful and orderly
settlement of the controversy. Federal
intervention would only aggravate mat

certainly lead to trouble, and perhaps

abstaining from interference of any sort

The house and senate attempted to meet

confronted with three Calling guns and
several companies of soldiers, and denied

Notice was served upon the general as
sembly that the adjutant general had or
ders from the governor to regard as an
unlawful assembly all meetings of the
general assembly, and to forcibly break
up the same. stk
Under these conditions a majority of
the. senate and house, upon. the evening

terlnined. He assured the delegation in
general way that he deplored the situ-
alton, and that federal interference would
come only as the last resort, after having
been invoked by the proper authorities,
under the law and constitution.
While the president spoke In general
terms, the delegation expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with his as
surances. The members Of the delegation,
when they left the White house, said they
had counseled their friends in Kentucky
to avoid violence at any cost, and they
said they were satisfied that If trouble
came 1t would be precipitated by their
political adversaries.
Senator Blackburn left this afternoon
for Kentucky, and Representative Rhea
followed him tonight. They will use
their utmost endeayors to prevent col
ilision. AT the same time they will act
as advisers Of Goebel in the legal pro-
ceedings to be instituted. They assert
that Goebel is the legal governor. and
that the courts will uphold him.
Senator Lindsay remained with the
president after the delegation had left.
On leaving the White house he said that
1t was the opinions of the authorities that
case had not been made out which
would warrant federal interference In
kentucky, and that he Uindsay) was dis
posed to share that view. The senator
said further that he did not believe there
would be any more bloodshed, and that
before the week closed the present off
ficulties could be amicably settled or In
a fair way of settlement
Upon being asked today why the DEM
ocrats of Kentucky had refused to leave
the settlement of the controversy TO the
United States supreme court, Senator
Lindsay, who Is an eminent lawyer, re-
piled that doubtless 1t was because they
considered that the United States court
had no jurisdiction. He added that the
state court did have jurisdiction, and as
1t was supposed to be friendly, 1t was
not reasonable to ask the Kentucky Dem
ocrats to go to an outside court which
had no jurisdiction, and concerning whose
predictions or prejudices nothing was
known.
Senator Deboe had not seen the presi-
dent at noon concerning the petition for
federal interference, but expected to see
him later. Mr.. Deboe said that Wien he
left Kentucky, just before the shooting
occurred, he had every reason to believe
that a peaceable solution would be Sc
cured. He had plan to secure the in
tervention Of senators on both sides of the
chamber, and had received assurances
that led him to believe this plan would
settle the entire dispute. He feels now
however, that the plan is upset by the
shooting, and that nothing can now be
done IN that line.

Notwithstanding all this the city of

Today the Democrats, endeavoring to

Doctors Said He Would Live.

DOctOrS Sa1O tie WOulO Live.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. Sat
o'clock Gov. Goebel was as comfortable
as he had been at any time during the
day. He was able to take a little nour-
ishment at midnight, some ice cream be-
Ing given him. The Indicate are for
good night.
The condition of William Goebel is to-
night considered better than at any time
since he was shot. The iron will and de-
termination of the wounded mar that he
will not die by an assassins bullet is,
however, still considered the main fac
tor in sustaining him, but tonight the
attending physicians for the first time
hold out some hope for his ultimate re-
covery.
Gov. Goebel secured some sleep during
the day, which increased his strength
perceptibly, and though unfavorable
symptoms showed themselves at times,
the sick man rallied well. Compared with
twenty-four hours ago, his condition
shows a decided improvement, his tenn
perature being more nearly normal,
though some fever still shows itself His
pulse and respiration are still high, but
his kidneys, the condition of which last
night was regarded as the most unfavor-
able symptom, are performing their func-
lions in a more normal manner, thus OBJ
waiting, in a degree, the danger of amaze
mic poisoning.
Gov Goebel during the day complained
somewhat of bed soreness, and was turn
ed partly on his side to relieve the strain
ed muscles. This for a time had an I'M
favorable effect but he soon rallied, and
shortly afterwards fell into a light sleep.
His temperature tonight Is 1902, his res
piration 3S, and pulse 120.
Should the wounded man succeed in
passing through tonight well, his phys.-
clans express the hope that his recov-
cry, though necessarily slow, will be
sure.

the appointments without delay. The first
announcement to be made will probably
be- that of Gen. John B. Castleman. of

stated positively by the Democratic lead
ers that Gen. Castleman will accept the
position as soon as it Is offered to him,
sand it will be offered without delay, not
withstanding that 1t is definitely known
That he will accept it.
REPUBLICAN TECHNICAL CLAIM.
1T is expected by the Republicans that
they will have a good legal defense
against the claim of the Democrats that
Gov. Goebel is governor of Kentucky by
the fact that the laws provide that all
joint sessions shall be held In the state
legislative chamber. The joint session
was held in the parlors of the Capitol
hotel and not in the capitol building.
The Democratic attorneys say the posi-
ton taken by the Republicans is not
tenabe and that the state legislative
chamber is the place in which the state
/. Legislature chooses to meet. They say
that the meetings should be held within
any certain building.
- Another complication that may arise
jssover the vote of the senate upon the
seating of Gov Goebel. Nineteen votes
were cast, the number not being a
eauo1um, sethereaare properly thirty-eight
einembers of the senate. One senator. be-
cause of illness, has. never qualified, and
the Democrats. before declaring Mr.. Goe-'
bel to be governor, took the precaution
TO secure his resignation, reducing the
stetal number Of senators to thirty-six,
and against that nineteen constituted a.
zuuorum. A constitution was written out
and Mr. Goebel affixed his signature be-
lore the session was called.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Nearly the en-
tire time of the cabinet meeting today
was taken up in a discussion Of the
situation In Kentucky and the rights and
duties of the president in connection
Herewith. Almost Immediately upon the
receipt Of Gov. Taylor's message last
night, the president took up the ques-
ton, and consulted the authorities on
points on which, he was not familiar. A
decision was reached at once, and when
Senator-elect Blackburn, with Repre-
sentatives Rhea, Allen, Gilbert, Smith
and Wheeler, called this morning to pro-
test against federal Interference in Ken
lucky, the president promptly gave them
to understand that he had already
reached a conclusion on the subject, and
that he found that the situation did not

This decision was announced to the
cabinet Immediately upon its convening.
