AN ANGRY EDITOR.
Cuban MoIder of Public Opinion Aft
er Gen. Ludlow.

HAVANA, Jan. 31.-The editor of the
Lucha has written to the judge of the
municipal court of Havana, charging Gen.
Ludlow with publishing an Injurious let
ter and also charging two local papers
with having published the same commune
cation. The judge says the law requires
him to write to Gen. Ludlow, informing
him of the charge against him, and sum-
moning him to appear in court to con-
front the plaintiff. No one seems to think
Gen. Ludlow can be compelled to appear
An officer of the municipal court went
to the office of Lucha to collect the IS
fine recently imposed by Gen. Ludlow, but
was refused payment. Thereupon all the
available goods Of the paper, consisting of
various fencing and dueling arms were
laid under embargo.

Berlin Press on the Prussian Consti-
tuition.
BERLIN, Jan. 31.-The Liberal organs,
apropos of the tiftieth anniversary of the
founding of the Prussian constitution,
publish eloquent articles today pointing
out how the constitution has been bat
tered through a long process of reaction.
Even the moderate Liberal papers claim
that many clauses like those abolishing
special privileges resulting from birth
have been rendered null and void.
The Vorawerts, the Socialist organ,
says this reaction has not yet halted,
since the fleet bill will destroy the resi-
due of budgetary rights.

later, took the oats of lieutenant govern

decided in favor Of Goebel and Beckham,
and that the boards intended to report
their findings to the legislature, but that
they had been prevented from so doing
by the action of Gov. Taylor in declaring
the legislature adjourned.
The statement then goes on to say that:
the members Of the legislature were driv

and threatened with arrest whenever
they attempted to hold meeting. 1t

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 31.-Premier Erik

view with the correspondent of the As

convinced that the worst was over, and
that the Norweglans, both politicians and
people, were beginning to realize that
their demands could not be granted If the
union was to be maintained. Sweden, the
premier added. was quite willing to meet
her neighbor half way and had already
offered to settle the question of a foreign

Regarding the Russian spies alleged to
have been seen about Swedish fortifica-
tions, the premier said the government
had thoroughly investigated the matter

I'VE, your representatives, deeply de-
ploring the necessity thus placed upon us
of attempting to vindicate the fair name
OF our beloved but humiliated and bleed
ing state, the innocent victim of a thou
sand zcrimes against the series Of addi-
tlonal outrages, eliminating this day in
the complete suppression Of the legisla-

government, the destruction Of civil lib

duct On the part of the acting governor
and his colleagues to be without warrant
OF law, without justification of facts, and
without excuse save and except unwill-

nor to submit his claims to the office
which he now occupies to fair and legal
adjudication before the highest tribunal
known to the laws of the commonwealth"
(Signed by all Democratic members of
the house and senate)
1t was slow work obtaining the Sig
natures of the members of the house and
senate, and although the work was in
progress all afternoon, 1t was not until
evening that the necessary number of
: signatures had been obtained.
GoEBEL SWORN IN.
k AS soon as the last man actually needed
had affixed his signature to the state
ment, word was sent to the residence of
Chief Justice EIazelrigg, of the court of
appeals. He came at once to the Capitol
hotel, passed directly up stairs to the
room of Mr.. Goebel, and administered
the oath of Office.
Mr. Goebel was propped up with pill
lows, and was able to raise his hand
only with the greatest difficulty as he
listened to the words of Judge Hazelrigg.
When the oath had been given Mr.. Goe-
bel sank back exhausted, the effort hav- /
ing been almost too much for his
strength, erg ,-sss-te -s,s-sssNss,
There were in the room at the time the
oath was administered, besides Mr.. Goe-
bel and Judge Hazelrigg, Arthur Goebel,
brother of the wounded man; Mrs Welch,
his sister, and Percy Halleck, his cam
paign manager, and two or three inti-
mate friends. Mr.. Goebel was unable to
say anything regarding the matter, but

witness to the pleasure that he felt. I'M

mediately upon leaving the room where
he had sworn in Mr.. Goebel, Judge
: Hazelrigg went to an adjoining room,
where he swore in Mr.. Beckham as lieu-
tenant governor. This done, he returned
to his home.
Judge Hazelrigg declined to make any
statement concerning the manner in
which the office had been conferred upon
the Democratic contestants.
"a majority Of both houses of the leg
islature declared for then,'' he said, "and
when was asked to swear them In there
was nothing left for me to do but adj
minister the oaths Of Office. The proceed
ing was, of course, entirely legal and
proper L would not have done as I did
had it been otherwise
MIR. GOEBEL ACTS.
Mr.. Goebel, as soon as he was assured
that he was legally governor of Ken
lucky, took prompt action regarding the
military arm of the service. Two orders
were quickly prepared for his signature,
the first of which discharged Adjt. Gen.
Daniel Collier from Office and appointed
Cen John D. Castleman, of Louisville,
as his successor. The second was direct
ed to the commanders of the militia now
stationed in this city, directing them to
return to their homes.
Word was at once telegraphed to Gen.
SCastleman of his appointment, and he Is
expected In the city tomorrow morning.
There is a possibility of trouble in
this. matter of control of the state troops
The regiments of the governor have rec
emily reorganized, and are for the most
part made. up of Republicans and the
personal followers of Gov. Taylor.
1t Is not certain that they will at once
obey the orders issued by Gov. Goebel,
and any attempt to force them to do so
will almost certainly result in trouble.
Some Of the officers intimated tonight
that they would not obey the orders to
leave, although they were careful not to
say so in specific terms.
Indications around the state h4lse to-
night were not such as to warrant any
belief that the troops now there intend
ed to move away In the morning. Sup
plies of clothing and food were being re-
ceiyed and unloaded, and everything
seemed to warrant the assumption that
the troops were to stay, for time at
least.
WILL NOT TALK.
Gen. Collier refused positively to say
anything regarding his possible line of
action. He would not say, however, that
he had any intention of giving up his
post at the order Of Gov. Goebel.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. a.-The Texas
antitrust law, passed at the session of
the legislature last May, becomes ef-
fective tomorrow. This is most drastic
measure, in that it relieves all debtors
in the state from paying for any goods
bought of any outsider If said outsider
proves to be in any way connected with
a trust. The business world is apprehen-

Man-Excitement of the Day Told
Greatly Upon Goebel's Condition.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 1.-At 1:1O a.
m. Mr. Goebel was asleep. His physicians
retired and nobody Is in the sick room
except nurses
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. S1-The con-
dition of Gov. Goebel at 1880 O'Clock to-
night was better than at any time during
the day. He was resting comfortably, no
unfavorable symptoms had appeared, and
1t was announced that he would unques-
tionably get through the night in good
shape.
All day the shadow of the death of Mr..
Goebel hung over the Capitol hotel. His
strength began to fail him late In the
morning. The battle and excitement Of
the morning, which, despite all precau-
ton. penetrated into his quiet room had
a most serious effect upon him. At noon
1t was declared that he could not live but
short time, and a o'clock 1t was said
that death was upon him. The halls and
stairways were filled with people, who
sat in silence, expecting to hear at any
moment that the end had come. The aft
ernoon wore away, however, and as even-
Ing drew on he seemed to gain new
strength and appeared distinctly better.
He was never for "a minute unconscious
and never did his courage leave him for
an instant. He called for clergymen
during the afternoon, and Rev. p F.
Talliferro and Prison Chaplain. " allaee
were twice with him. Later a clerical
friend, residing a short distance In the
country, came in and remained at his
bedside for an hour:
PATHETIC INCIDENT.
The physicians declared that there was
nothing that could have kept him up so
long but his wonderful nerve and will
power. They gave absolutely no hope
and said that death at the farthest could
not be further away than a few hours.
Shortly after noon, Mrs. Sherman
Rrannocker, of Hartwell, O., sister of
Goebel arrived, with Miss Marguerite
tine. Mrs. Brannocker. was weeping. She
was taken at once to the bedside of her
brother. The senator was conscious and
recognized her with a smile. Senator
Goebels married sister, who lives in
Pennsylvania, arrived at noon, Goebe at
21:30 asked TO see his sister again, and she
went into the room, weeping, and al
most prostrated. The doctor told her
the end was near
Frankfort was quiet in the extreme to-
day. There was excitement sufficient
for anybody, but not the slightest sign
of disorder. Many of the saloons were
closed, and the cold wind kept people off
the streets.
