Taylor and Finley In Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23.-Charles Fin
ley and w. S. Taylor spent the day at
their quarters in the Denison hotel. In
dependent afternoon papers criticised
editorially Governor Mounts position
and charge that he has violated that
clause in the constitution of the United
States which makes the delivery of o
person SO charged mandatory. Taylor
said: "lt is an awful thing to be ex-
lied from the place of my birth, from
the state that honored me with it's
highest Office, and from my wife and
children. Yet l know that my return
to Kentucky would mean that would
be incarcerated with no chance of bail,
or, for that matter, exposed to assassins
who have awaited an opportunity to
wreak vengeance on me. l cannot say
that will or will not be candidate
for governor of Kentucky this fall.''

DECLINES TO FAVOR BOERS.
President Refuses to Depart From Policy
of Impartial Neutrali1x

".
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Secretary OF
state Hay yesterday informed the Boer
delegates that the president feels that
in the present circumstances no course
is open to him except to persist in the
policy OF impartial neutrality between
England and the South African republics.
The Boer representatives will be re.
celved by the president at the white
house today. The call, it is understood,
will be entirely unofficial in character,
as the ENJOYS have not yet presented to
the officials here the credentials with
which they are accredited.

court LACKS JurlBdlctlon IN the Matter.
Opinion by Chief Justice Fuller.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Ken
lucky governorship case was Monday de-
cided by the United States supreme
court in the interest of Beckham, affirm
ing the decision of the Kentucky court of
appeals.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller and the case was
dismissed for want Of jurisdiction and
that the determination of the cases of
this character, contests for state offices
must necessarily be settled by the polit-
ical branch of the government. That
branch had acted in the Kentucky case
when the general assembly took juris-
dictlon. There was no appeal from the
assembly's decision, which was favor
able to Goebel and Beckham, except to
the tribunal Of the people, which tri-
bunal the chief justice said was always
in session. He also said the case was
purely state case, that Kentucky was
in the full possession of it's faculties as a
member OF the union and that there was
no emergency at this time calling for
interference.
The opinion in the Kentucky case
was not unanimous, some Of the JUS
tices dissenting. Justices Brewer. Har-
Ian, Brown and McKenna were the dis
senting justices.
