GOVERNMENT VICTORY.

Kingston, jain, May 22.-Advices from
Columbia received today say Colon is
en- fete over the news Of big govern
ment victory at Lebrija, department of
Santander.
Notwithstanding this, 1t Is added, the
rebels in other departments are making
every effort to overthrow the govern
ment. Carthagena and Baranquilla are
practically in the hands of the rebels.
As many of the leading officials of these
towns sympathize with the rebel cause
their fall cannot long be delayed.
Panama is also reported to be in a
critical condition.

TAYLOR IN INDIANA.
says Tie Darss Not Return To nIs
Kentucky Home.

indianapolis, Ind, May 22.-Charles
Finley and W. :. Taylor spent the day
and evening at their quarters In the
Dennison. Many local Republicans called
and congratulated them today.
Justus Goebal, brother of ex Governor
Goebel, is az Lafayette and will not come
here until Governor Mount returns Sat
urday.
MIR. Taylor said today: at is an awful
thing to be exiled from the place of my
birth, from the state that honored me
with its highest office and from my wife
and children. Yet, l know as you know,
that my return to Kentucky would mean
that l would be incarcerated with no
chance Of bail or for that matter, exposed
to assassins who have awaited an Oppor-
tunity to wreak ven goance ON me. do
not know what Of the future. l cannot
say that will or win not be candidate
for governor of Kentucky this fall. "
GOV. TAYLoR'S STATEMENT.
indianapolis, Ind, May 22.-Former
governor, Taylor, last night was handed
the statement Of Gov. Beckham and after
rea ding it he said;
II have no criticisms to make on the
Supreme court. That court does not go
into the merits of the controversy; IL does
not adjudge that Mr.. Goebel got ma
iority of the votes and no lower court or
tribunal will ever so declare. Mr.. Beck
ham knows he did not get u majority OF
the votes and so does every other honest
man understand The Supreme court
holds that it cannot take Jurisdiction.
The arbitrary action of the general assem-
bly, was the greatest crime ever committed
against civil liberty. The Republicans
and liberty loving Democrats have been
long suffering and submitted to the foul
est usurpation ever perpetrated. The fact
that this wrong has been done under the
forms of the law makes 1t none the less
a crime. The success of the Democrats in
Kentucky is triumph of force and fraud
over the liberty of Kentuckians. If Mr..
Beckham desires TO rejoice because he and
his associates robbed me of an Office and
overturned the will of Kentuckians by
brute force, L shall not envy him In his
delight"
ANOTHER ARREST FOR GOEBEL
MURDER.
Frankfort, May 22.-John Powers,
brother of Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers, was arrested in Knox county, near
Barbourville, late . last night ON the
charge of completely in the murder of
Gov. Goebel Powers was taken to
Barboursville where habeas corpus pro-
ceedings Were begun today.
Telegrams have been received from
Barbourville saying trouble over the ar
rest is likely to occur. The matter was
laid before Gov. Beckham with recon-
mendation that troops be sent to preserve
order.
WONT MANDAMUS MOUNT.
Frankfort, Ky, May 22,-The Kentucky
authorities will not attempt to mandamus
Governor Mount of Indiana to honor the
requisition of Governor Beckham for the
arrest of Finley. The opinion prevails
that the matter is wholly within the
province of the governor of the state and
that no legal action can be maintained to
enforce the requisition. Gov. Beckham
issued an order today dismissing the
Democratic soldiers and they will leave
for home tomorrow.

a passion for difficulties. His eyes glow
when he talks of work, his cheeks flush
as though he spoke Of his sweetheart.
He has heen overworked most OF his
life. notice it is only people who have
worked very little who are always afraid
OF overtaxing themselves. He was i'll

working out that tempeetuous tech

think they toll prodigeously. They
simply know nothing about work, the

eggs into a chatting dish for a compli-
Gated onelette such as are dear to Ger

the glasses in h,s enthusiasm. Nevin
looked grave. for be loves not the names
Of the great philosophers and agnostIcs
and the men who kill faith. He con-
fined his attention to the chafiog dish
and brought out big narcissus-colored
omelette.
Twas moderately sure of Hambourg's
attitude toward poetry before Mr.. Nevin
questioned him. but i was hot sure that
his answer would be 50 frank. He is
not a tenpsramental player, this young
Russian. and he does not pose as ono.
He believes in the omnipotence Of the
human intellect. II like the exact

this Mr.. Hamburg, a pianist OF the
atomic theory and the Darwinian laws.
Whenever there is adverse criticism
upon Mr., Hambourg's work, it is to this
effect; that he lacks the romantic ele-
ment, that for poetry and color he has
substituted speed, a wbirlwind Of intel
lectual and digital gymnastics, that he
takes the piano by STORM and wins at
the cost of every thiLg but success, that
he merely sstonishes and does not truly
and deeply delight. These remarks are
all very we'll from people with a modest
little technique. and with only one pair
