DR.. Morgan Vance, Of Louisville, gave
out this morning the following statement:
The fact that Mr Goebel has not rail-
lied during the past six hours shows his
condition TO be desperate in the extreme.
He is bleeding internally, which is a most
serious aspect OF the case. The indications
are that the right lung. which was perfo-
rated, has bled profusely."
The united efforts OF the physicians are
being directed toward prolonsing life un-
til the legislature could declare him gov

CommIssiOner Jones' Reply 10 n SEN
nte Resolution.


Secretary Hitcho ck has transmitted 20
the Senate a copy Of a communication
from the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
in answer to a resolution Of the Senate Of
December Is calling for certain informa-
tion. Under the resolution the Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs is directed to send
to the Senate the name OF each textbook
used FOR instruction in the Indian schools
under the jurisdiction Of the Department
Of the Interior and The name Of the per-
son. firm. or corporation publishing the
same.
Information Is also asked as TO the num-
Der OF copies OF each book so used, and
the gross amount Of money which has been
paid 10 each publisher during the fiscal
years 1899 and 1900.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF MINES.
A senate Bill 20 Provide for Their
support.

support.
The Senate Committee on Public Lands
to which was referred the bill to aid the
state of South Dakota to support a school
OF mines has reported instead Of the bill
named a bill 10 aid the public Land states
10 support schools OF mines.
Il has been doeme,, wise, the committee
says in its report. D. recommend the en-
aetmeut OF general legislation OF this char
acter covering al the public land States.
The committee rccommends the passage
OF this bill. for the reason that it viii aid
in the establishment Of institutions Of
learning in the mineral land States. where
the science Of chemistry. metallurgy. min
eralogy, geology, mining. and mining en-
gineering. and other allied subjects can be
taught in the opinion Of the committee
it IS especially important 10 do this in the
States where the mining operations are
practically carried out and where the prsc-
teal application OF this knowledge can be
made
The lack Of scientific knowledge in the
development OF our mining resources hss
been a great hindrance to this industry IN
the past While the great universities Ia
the East have taught these allied sciences.
nevertheless it has been practically impOs-
sible for the youth of the mineral land
States to enjoy these advantages, owing TO
the great distance these Institutions OF
learning are located from the seat OF min
ing operations.
This bill proposes an expenditure Of 50
per cent OF the moneys received from the
sale OF mineral lands in the respective
states for the purpose Of aiding these in
stitutiOns. and il is provided therein that
such expenditure shall in no case exceed
S12 OG0 annually and il is further provid-
ed that the several States receiving this
expenditure shall also eXpend a like
amount in aid OF these institutions.
Students coming from other States are
given the same privileges in these schools
which are accorded to residents Of the re-
spective States where they may be located.
The advantages of these schools will extend
TO all students, regardless OF the States
they may come from, who may desire 10
pursue the study OF these sciences.
The committee is OF the opinion that It
is 10 the interest OF the entire country
that such institutions be encouraged. 10 the
end that it may bring about more intelli-
gent effort in the development OF the vast
mineral resources OF the United States.

Post" from spearman's Camp. dated
January %. says:
After holding out all day, in spite OF
serious losses, the British evacuated
Spion KoD last night The Beers were
too exhausted 10 harass the rear guard.
The troops have entire confidence IN Cen
eral Butler, and will try again. We all
understand the difficulties OF the situa-
ton.
The Beers were sometimes within thir-
ty yards of our own men. and suffered
heavily. Their loss. in comparison with
their strength, was greater than ours
The process Of attrition must ultimately
settle the war in favor OF the British who
bear the worst cheerfully.

simply a bloody action wherein a lodg-

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 3l-At 10
o'clock this morning companies Of SOL
diers marched about ia different sections
Of the town and It is said that this is a
step TO place the entire town under mar
tial law and to extend the lines OF troops.
The streets Of Frankfort were fun Of
heavily armed men all night long and this
morning saw no diminu,ion in the excite
ment attendant upon the attempted assas-
sination Of Goebel. The city is like an
armed camp. State militia. under orders of
the Republican governor. poured into
Frankfort all night long, and at dawn there
were over a thousand OF them gathered
about the statehouse.
The capitol looks like a fortress. Re-
marlable precautions are being taken to
prevent a clash, but it is feared that they

Three other GatHng guns are posted about

ployed by the Navy Department, who serv-

they having been paid the amount OF the
commuted ration. checkages Of from $3.50

dependent upon them, and in some cases
they woulc be left in straitened circum-
stances.
Secretary Long says it was understood
at the time Of enlistment that these men
would be entitled 10 eOmmutation OF IA

services OF some who otherwise would
have been unwilling to enlist, In vie~ of

Inc NOnNtiNuttOnhl provision Under
Which Taylor Acted.
The adjournment of the Kentucky Leg
islature to meet at London, KY, on Feb
ruary 6. was freely discussed al the Capt.
tOl. 1t appears to be generally admittet oy
members Of the Kentucky delegation that
Governor Taylor had constitutional war
rant Tor his action in transferring the
meeting place Of the legislature from
Frankfort to London.
When the question OF the governors
right 10 do this was raised. and il was
raised as soon as the news reached the
Capitol. Representatives Berry, Ray,
Wheeler and others sent for a COPY OF
the Kentucky constitution which was
adopted in 1884, and is known as the
new constitution"
Governor Taylor bases his authority on
section Sc. Of the chapter on legislative
department. which follows:
The first general assembly and the members OF
which shall be elected under the constitution
shall meet on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday IN January. 1891. and thereafter the
general assembly shall meet on the same day every
second year, and its sessions shall be held az
the seat Of government, except in case Of war in
slrrection, or pesrileRce, when il may by procla-
nation Of the governor assemble for the tine be-
ing elsewhere.
The general opinion expressed was that
Governor Taylor had kept within the
meaning of the Constitution, but whether
or not the state OF affairs at Frankfort
warranted his action no member OF the
delegation would say.
