Exactly one hour after the death of
Mr.. Goebel last Saturday, J.. G. W.
Beckham vas sworn in as governor of
the state, the oath being administered
by :. j. Schakleford, clerk of the court
of appeals.
Mr.. Beckham seemed deeply affected
by the position in which circumstances
had placed him, and he did not reveal
much joy over the congratulations
which those in the room showered
upon him, although he accepted them
gratefully.
I j. c. W. Beckham is a young man,
having been born August ), 1869. at
Bardstown, Ky. He was elected a
member of the Kentucky house of rep.
resentatives in 1898. He was re-elcct-
ed in 1897 and made speaker of the
house in 1898. In 1899 he was nomi-
mated for lieutenant governor on the
same ticket with William Goebel. In
person Governor Bcckham is of slight
physique and a somewhat boyish ap.
pearance. He is gifted with exceed.
inglv pleasant and is very pop
ular personally.
Mr.. Beckham has appointed Gen.

ARMED CONFLICT AVOIDED
Governor Taylor orders the Release of
Aionzo Walker.

Armed conflict between the civil au.
thoritics of Franklin county and the
national guard of the state of Ken
lucky has been avcrtcd. and unless
new causes should come to the front,
there is small likelihood that the pc.
litical situation will again become as
threatening as it has been.
Governor Taylor ordered the release
of Alonzo Walker, for the possession
of whom Judge Moore had declared
that Sheriff Suter would swear in Il
posse, and take possession of the capi-
toll grounds, il such an extreme be-
came necessary. While not recognize
ing in his action the existence of "A
writ of habeas corpus which had been
sworn out in behalf of Walker, Cover.
o Taylor by releasing the man re.
moved the most threatening sign of
trouble. The commanding officers of
the troops which guard the capitol
grounds are careful to say that the
situation is entirely "a military affair
and that they extend the writ of habcas
corpus very little consideration, but
whether they regard IL or not, Walker
j. free and sheriff Suter will not be
called upon 10 summon force in the al.
tempt to secure his release.

Butler Said to he Knocking at the Doors

. London, Eng, February 6 special
says: Military opinion continues to as
sumo, from very slender material. that
General Butler is again throwing his
army against the Beers works. A re-
tired general, Sir William Henry Green,
whose distinguished career giyes
weight TO his opinion, thinks that Gen.
eral Butler, with %. 900 men, is making
a wide detour to the west and north
in order to avoid the toughest parts of
h country. As General Butler must
have some thousands of wagons, Sir
William Green points that the move
ment would necessarily be slow.
No authentic word is at hand. save
that the war Office reaflirmcd orally TO

h a 1t could not confirm the reported
advance. There the Natal situation
rests.
The war Office statement that it has
received no confirmation of the report
that General Butler has rccrosscd the
Tugela river has failed to shake public
belief that operations of tremendous
Importance are proceeding at the Tu-
gela and it is thought that either the
denial was prompted by a desire to
keep the military movement as secret
as possible until something is accom-
plished, or that General Butler is keep
ing the home officials ia the dark pend
ing results. 1t is obviously difficult to
extract the truth from the conflicting
statements shrouding General Buffers
statements, but most of the commenta-
tors agree that the aggregate Of the
items tends to confirm the belief that
movements of Importance are in pro-
