iccs-some Fear That Trouble Will Be
Caused Whom Marching Past the
Capitol Grounds.
Louisville, KY, Feb. s.-The exist
ence of q hitch in the peace negotia-
tions and speculation as to its prob
able duration occupied the minds of
politicians to the exclusion of every
thing else yesterday. That another
conference between the representa-
tives of the two parties may be neces-
sary before final agreement Is
reached was indicated by the sum-
moning TO Frankfort yesterday after
noon Of republican attorneys who
have all along advised the leaders OF
that party and some of whom were
present at Tuesday nights confer
ence. These included ex-Gov. Bradley,
hon. A. Z. Wilson and David W. Far
leigh. The last named was said to be
out of the city. The others left on
MI afternoon train for Frankfort. The
republicans of this city are not
agreed rs to the wisdom of closing
the negotiations on the basis Of the
agreement reached Tuesday night.
4 majority of the democratic men,
bers of the Legislature are in the city
and until Friday ut least the head
quarters of that body will remain
here. About 30 democratic members
came down from Cincinnati yesterday.
Twenty or more have been here since
Sunday, while others are ut their
homes at nearby towns. Sessions OF
both houses were held ut the Fifth
Avenue hotel ut one o'clock. Forty
members of the house responded to
their names when Speaker Trimble
called that body to order. A quorum
not being present the sergeant-at-
arms was ordered to secure the at
tendance Of absent members. The
house then adjourned until to-day.
Similar action was taken in the SEN
ate. where President L. II. Carter and
/. members were present. The meet
ing to-day will be held simply to COM
PLY with the law. by Friday it is en-
pectcd n quorum Of each house will
be present. If that is the case the
legislature will adjourn to meet Mon
day in Frankfort If the peace nego-
tiaiions are in q stationary state. III
not, regular business will be taken up
and the sessions will be continued in
this city. in accordance with the plans
which were being carried out last
Sunday. when overtures for peace
conference were made.
The Goebci Funeral Services.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. s.-The funeral
services of the late Gov. Goebel will
commence ut noon to-day in the par
lo-s of the Capitol hotel. The services
proper will be preceded by short
procession in the streets. When
the committee on arrangements met
yesterday afternoon there was consid-
cradle deb;He us to whether II was adj
visible for the funeral procession to
pass the capitol grounds, where the
soldiers are camped and in which the
dead man was shot down. Some men,
beers of the committee were fearful
tnat in the excited state OF feeling
that exists some partisan in the pro-
cession would allow his feelings to
override his Judgment and fire q shot
or two into the capitol grounds and
create trouble. Others were strongly
in favor of having the parade take
the route that would require 1t to
march past the capitol square. The
question provoked much discussion,
II was finally decided that the march
past the capitol grounds should be
made, and the route was SO arranged.
No Action on the Agreement.
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. s.-The confer
encc in the Office of Gov. Taylor ended
ut midnight without any action being
taken on the agreement. The meet
Ing of last night was called for the
purpose of informal conference, and 1t
was not the intention Of Gov. Taylor
TO announce his determination regard
ing the agreement. Gov. Taylor
showed to the gentlemen In the meet
ing great number Of kilograms he
had received from all parts Of the
state urging him not to give up and
many of them censuring him for &C.
ccpting the terms of the agreement.
1t does not now seem probable that
iina. action will be taken on the agree
ment before the end of the week.
Injunction Proceedings Against Taylor.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. s.-To-day at
Georgetown the injunction issued last
week by Judge Cantrill, Of the circuit
court, will come up for final settle
ment. The injunction was asked by
the democrats TO restrain Gov. Taylor
from intervening with the sessions
of the legislature in this city and to
prevent him from attempting to con-
vey 1t to London. A temporary in
Junction was granted at the first hear
ing. and that ut Georgetown to-day
will be for the purpose Of making II
perpetual. The republicans allowed 1t
to 60 against them by default on the
first hearing and they will not be rep
resented in court to-day.
