10 the seat.
The boards having in charge the con,
tests between Goebel and Taylor fo1
Governor and Beckham and Marshal
for Lieutenant-G Governor met at z
o'clock tonight In the City Hall to
consider the evidence submitted to
them. and prepare their report to the
Legislature. A few legal authorities
were read to them at the request OF
Senator Allen. who wished light shed
upon few doubtful points Then, by
strict party vote of 10 to l.. William
Goebel was declared to have been legal
ly elected Governor of Kentucky
The Beckham- Marshall contest was
then voted upon and n strict party
vote of Q to settled this matter.
Several Democrats sought to get to-
gether n quorum of both Houses held
n night session, and rush through the
reports and declare Gocbel the Govern
or of Kentucky before morning. to give
him the honor before he died, but too
many legislators we're away. It Is n
certainty that Gocbei will be made Gov
ernor tomorrow II he is alive.
PLAN OF REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans will probably as
soon MS the decision Is rendered In favor
of Goebel. make application in the
United States Circuit Court Mt Cincin-
natl for an injunction restraining
Goebel and Bcckham from taking their
seats and tho battle will then be con-
tinued before Judge Taft of that court.
The Republican attorneys and Gov
ernor Taylor are confident that Mt least
a Temporary injunction will be granted,
and that the ultimate victory will be In
their favor
The grounds alleged include the pre-
judicc of the legislative body and The
alleged nnntness of several members
or the contest boards to sit in jude-
ment upon the case.

Of an unwilling people.
ANOTHER CERTAIN CONSE-
QUENCE.
Another certain consequence of this
revolution In the principles and struc-
ture of our government will be the liza
bility and probability of disastrous wars
Of which we have not hitherto stood In
danger. There is no government on
this Western Hemisphere which will
ever have either the inclination or the
ability to make war upon us.
But If the Philippine islands become
n part Of possessions there will he
two most important results: First.
Omitting the question whether we will
thereby forfeit the right to insist there
after upon the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine I'VE will necessarily become
complicated in the contentious and
competitions and rivalries of the Eu-
ropean governments, and from these
complications there will be constant
danger that wars will be thrust upon
us which we cannot honorably de-
cline.
NO LONGER SAFE FROM EUROPE.
1--WE will no longer be impregnable
in war with European power. The
Philippine islands will furnish field
for the war, where by reason of the
great distance across the sea we will
be exceedingly weak and painfully vul-
nerable. That will be our weak spot,
and that will be the point of attack by
our enemies becahsc it is the weak
spot.
Again, without our navy necessarily
concentrated in the Pacific ocean. our
long seacoast on the Atlantic and on
the Gulf must depend upon It's land de-
lenses to repel the attacks of the
enemy's ships. With few exceptions
our seaports are not adequately forth
fled to resist artillery. A vast sum of
money is necessary to properly fortify
our 1000 miles of coast, stretching from
the Rio Grande to Nova Scotia.

KNIFING OUR HOPES.

From the statements made at the chamber of commerce last night, by two representative Alaskans who nave just returned from Washington. D. C., it is not very probable that Alaska cities will be granted the right of mu- uicipal corporation: and this not 90 much because congress is opposed to granting such rights as because mem ber- have received so much testimony Co the effect that Alaskan- do not really need it and would rather be without it
 Mr Swinehart. one of the gentlemen referred to, said there was no doubt strong opposition from Juneau. and some also from Skagway itself. lt Is the men of capital who are doing this; men who wish to avoid the small taxa ton which municipal government en. tails: men who have large interests ana today escap, all taxation and probably all subscription for local needs. Mir. Dautrick also said that the members of congress were influenced on the ~uNlect by private lc,'.'~.

THIS IS ABOUT BRADY.

Any man who Is so ignorant Of the country he lives in as Governor Brady, who Is mentally 90 much of amyope that his vision does not extend beyond the confines Of his cabbage pateh' should be relegated to retirement far more exclusive and isolated than what may bc obtained on Barren-Enough ls- land.
 Who says that Sitka has not a great CT future before her than her rivals along Lynn Canal 9" he exelaims in the columns of the Sitka Alaskan. pub lished on his cabbage patch. He has three or four columns, written from the cabbage patch point of 'iew, to prove that Sitka Is the natural hub Of all Alaska.
 It Is all Co prove that Alaska must in- cyitably go to "the demnition bow VOWS" if courts are held at any point except Sitka. To Is the only place In Alaska that is established A court house for Skagway or Juneau would have to be on wheels to keep up with the moving population, he argues.
 That the whole of this special plea which has possibly been laid before congress, is drawn up upon absolutely false premises, is shown in the fact that he cites Dyea as the rival Of Skagway. pe says that Juneau, never having been the terminus of any route, she can never become the commercial met ropolis. as Seattle and Victoria claim the distinction of being at che one end while Skagway and Dyea claim the distinction Of being the at the other end of that route. "
 He Is equally well posted as Co what led to the founding and the growth of this city. and if Governor Brady does not know the history Of Alaska who Joess He writes:
 When the pro,pcctors and miners opened up the Atiin country the route was extended Co Skagway anl pyea at the head of Lynn canal. Therefore Juneau's importance ss a iOurishing town Is due largely. ii not wholly, to ,he fact that it ta- s---s,p~"- '~r"'ss-rrd route for the miner across the line Co British Columbia and some Of the islands neor by.

 There Is lot more Of such unmit- gated rot, including the statement that the only available spot for public build ings in Juneau is in graveyard that has been filed on as mineral claim. and there are moro of such absurd statements that fl Juneau had not al ready been practically settled as the capital this screed would certainly de- eide it. lt is only referred to here to show the dense ignorance of Alaska that permestes the Sitka atmosphere; how Isolated it Is and how insular are it's preiudice>.

 lf such a move Is made it will be the best thing that could happen for Skagway and her ambition to do wholesaling; for the treasury department will then un- doubtedlv close Skhgwav as a support and make all Canadian goods pay duty here.

NEWPORT. KY, March 2s,-It devei-
oped tonight. that there have been
conferences here this week over some
0, the warrants that are being sworn
Gu, a, Frankfort for persons in differ
,nt parts of the state. Hon. John
Burke. Republican state superintend-
.nt Of public instruction, has been here
At his home most of the week. One OF
IL. conferences was for the purpose Of
preventing Prof. Burke from returning
to Frankfort. One of his neighbors
said II was reported that all the Re-
publican state officers would be arrest
ed before the final decision of the
courts was rendered next week, and
while they were under arrest, the
Democratic contestants would move
under guard from the Capitol hotel at
Frankfort into the state buildings.
Burke replied to his friends that he
would return to Frankfort Monday.
There is also much feeling here over
the arrest of Henry f. Youtsey. the
private secretary OF Auditor Of State
Sweeney. at Frankfort, last Tuesday.
YOutsey was an attorney here before
he went to Frankfort. He Is half
brother of L. ]. Crawford, ex-president
Of the National League OF Republican
Clubs.
