FRANKFORT. KY, Feb. There is
little likelihood that the peace nesoti-
ations will come to a close today Taylor
was cIoseted all morning with the vari-
Gus state officials. and some Of his legal
advisers. He refused to talk TO any news
paper men. However. it was learned that
as Mr.. Goebel's remains would lie in state
today. and be buried tomorrow. negou-
ations would remain in statu quo. The
way which at first seemed so clear is be
coming more stormy, as The Republicans
throughout the State are learning what
the proposed peace terms are. The men
at the head Of the militia, the legal ad-
visers OF Taylor, and most Of the State
officers. are all opposed TO any peace terms
which favor the Democrats and give in
return only a doubtful promise that the
Goebel Election law will be repealed or
modified.
All this morning kilograms have been
arriving from Republicans all over the
State advising Taylor to stand firm. The
opposition recorded in Louisville has been
echoed in every town in the State The
general opinion is that the Democrats are
playing tails / win, heads YOU lose
game Secretary Of state Caleb Powers,
the young politician and attorney from the
mountains. is the leader in this opposition.
He said this morning: Il can't under
stand what the Governor means by even
considering such terms: they are not terma
nt all, they constitute an unconditional
surrender. What does be get in return?
Nothing but the vague promise that the
GOcbel Election law will be repealed. How
does he know that the promise is genuine
or. that if IL Is. the men who are making
& will have the power to keep it2"
Taylor has asked for a conference with
Senator-elect Blackburn and Former Gov
ernor McCreary. He has not as yet con-
sented TO sign the agreement and General
Collier said it would not be signed in its
present shape The story OF a deal by
which Taylor would be Governor. provid-
ing he signed the certificate Of Senator
Blackburn. is absurd
The headquarters Of the provost guard
has been abandoned and orders have been
issued calling in the soldiers from duty on
guard around the city. One explanation
OF this is that it has been done pending the
funeral services and that the whole matter
OF city patrol has been turned over to the
police
State Senator TriDlett vas one OF the
first Democratic members Of the Legisla-
ture to return. He says the agreement is
expected 20 be signed within the next few
hours and the whole matter settled. 9th
er legislative Representatives and State
Senators are expected soon. But one at
tempt has so far been made to arrest
members Of the Legislature That vas on
Monday, when Representative Cox, Of An
derson county, while en- route home. got
wind of military officers in pursuit. He
whipped up his horse aid distanced the
militia who pursued him.
Detectives are at work in hopes OF Sc
curing evidence to apprehend the assassin
Of Goebel. It is said that the window from
which the shot was fired has been located
and they are hopeful Of obtaining a clew.
if in fact, they have not already secured
the names OF the persons in the rooms
from which the shot was fired.
The town is filing up with people to be
present at the funeral services TO be held
over Mr.. GOe)eTs remains tomorrow The
business houses IRE all draped in mcurn-
ing and the slow falling rain and fog is
in keeping with the gloom hanging over
the city. Each train brings crowds, and
floral designs and displays come from all
quarters
