ARGUMENTS WILL
 BEGIN MONDAY The Last Day Allotted the De- fenSe in Contest Cases
 Has Expired.

Frankfort, Ky, January N-This was the Taylor and Lieutenant Governor Marshall, for defense in the pending gubernatorial contest. The boards adjourned promptly at 10 p. m. tonight to meet Monday after noon, when the arguments begin. Each side will be allowed ten hours for argu- ments, the boards having fixed that time with the agreement of counsel.
 Governor Bradley took the stand today. He reviewed his political history and his connection with the presence of troops at the last election in Louisville. He testified that he construed the statutes as delegating to him the power to call out the troops for the maintenance of peace and the authori- ty to control them. Statutes specifics that the governor may put troops under com mand of the civil officers of the county. but it does mot make it mandatory. He said that he had reason to believe that the troops in the hands of the mayor, sheriff or jailer in Louisville last November would have added to the element of danger then prevailing. He contended that the pro- vision of the statutes, which says that tine governor may be in control of troops only when so instructed by an act of the legis- lature, had reference to time of war and not to riot. He says he was an executive officer entitled and required to go to the aid of all civil authorities who certified to him their exhaustion of means to enforce the law.

Badly Received at Vatican

Paris, January H.-The Rome corre- spondnet of the Figaro says the news of the visit of Cardinal Richard to the con- demned assumptionist fathers is badly re- ed quite inopportune. The pope would have preferred a more reserved attitude. He has always condemned any conflict when the interests of religion were not at stake It is certain that all demonstra- tions hostile to the republic on the part of certain high clericals in France will on- ly cause his holiness displeasure.
 The Echo De Paris says it is informed that the government has decided to sus- pend Cardinal Richards stipend for three months. and that similar measures will be taken against number of arehbishopsi bishops and priests in Paris who have written to the assumptionists feathers let- ters of encouragement.

THE SITUATION.
Spencer Wilkinson Thinks Butler Has
 Suffered Reverse.

London, January 28.-Spencer Wilkinson, whose articles on the war have attracted much attention here and abroad, wrote the following review of the situation for the Associated Press at midnight and, after the war office had given out tele- gram from Lord Roberts, dated at Cape town, Saturday, saying there was no change in the situation.
 ..The affair at Spion Kop appears very like a reverse at the decisive point of the decisive battle. According to General Bull
 lers telegram, General Warren determined to take the hill because it commanded the enemy's other positions. Having taken It Tuesday night, he abandoned it Wednes- day night, presumably because he was un- able to hold 1t.
 '"rhe published words of General Bull ler's telegram have the tone in which more reverse is announced. Whether the mis- application be made, 1t is good to say:
 "A general, attacking, has to some ex- tent. the power of making his own decisive pcint General Warren may yet beat the enemy by success at some other point. or he may re-take Spion Kop and keep it; but until in one way or another the battle now going on can be won, there Is no probability of Ladysmdth being relieved.
 General Buffers army, unless success ful, will be In a critical position. for it's retreat would be a diff1cult operation. The main Boer force is near to any point on the railway as is General SWarren's wing of Buffers army; and the Boers have the advantage of speed For this reason, as well as because of the importance of his purpose to relieve General White, we may expect General Butler to do his very utmost before giving up the attempt; and in this necessity lies the best hope of success"
 "The American civil war showed how ri- fe firearms, by rendering assault difficult, produced battles lasting several days, and as since then the range and rate of fire nave been greatly increased, the prolonga- tton of the duration of battles was to be expected. But without fuller knowledge of the situation than the telegrams as yet afford, it is not possible to clearly interpret the episodes of the unfinished fight.
 'T'he report from Boer sources that Mafeking has been relieved is credible, for Colonel Hummer has been persistently working in that direction, and there has been time since he was last heard of near Gaberons for him to cover the intervening distances. Moreover. the Boers have wise ly been concentrating their forces at more decisive points, but 1t requires contirma- tdon"

NO NEWS RECEIVED.
Telegram rom Roberts Reports.
 No Change.

London, January 2S.-(430 a. m.)-The only news issued by the war office during the night is a dispatch from Lord Roberts. dated yesterday (Saturday), stating that the situation is unchanged and that Gen. eral French reports "a reconnaissance of the enemy's position Thursday, when he found the Boers strongly posted at Piet- fonte.n. The maps don't show any such place in the region of General Frenchs op- erattons, and it Is probable that Rettfonsein. ten miles north of Colesburg, is the place alluded to.
 A special dispatch from Colenso, dated Wednesday, January 24, says that Com mandant Lucas Myers surprised and sur- rounded strong body of General Methuen's infantry, killing and wounding twenty three and capturing 155.
 The absence of news from the front Is causing the pubic to turn to the approach ing opening of parliament, and speculation as to how the government will meet the attacks upon it w5th regard to the cause and conduct of the war, a foretaste of which has already been given in the speeches of John Morley and others during the past week.

 Governor Johnston's friends concede the county to Morgan, and have no excuse to offer
 The result is due to work done by the Morgan spelEbinders, Messrs. White, Gra- ham, 'Quarles and Bowie, who entered the county only last Wednesday to preach the Morgan doctrine At that time Johnston was conceded the county, but the revulsion of feeling is such that the governors friends tonight admit his defeat by a ma jority of three to one.
 The greatest enthusiasm prevails in Crenshaw tonight, and the governors s friends believe that defeat in Russell coun- ty next Saturday will cause him to retire from the race.
 Wiley and Miller have fought most sem sational battle for the congressional vote of the district, and tonight the winner can not be picked.

MORGAN SWEEPS
 MARENGO COUNTY

Demopolis, January 27.-(Special. )-Ma- rengo will furnish another landslide for Senator Morgan. The twelve beats already heard from give him 65 votes, and that is a majority of tine county.
 There are still nine beats to hear from, and it is more than probable that Morgan will carry more than half of them. It is impossible to get returns tonight from these places on account of their remoteness, but there is no doubt that Morgan made a sweeping victory.
 1t is estimated that the vote will be four to one against Governor Johnston. Captain White Returns
 Captain Frank s. White, chairman of the Morgan campaign committee. returned last night from Crenshaw county, where he spent the last half of the week in the in- terest of Senator Morgan.
 Captain White was in fine spirits, and re- joiced at the good news from Marengo and Crenshaw In speaking of the canvass of the latter county by himself. Sidney J. Bowie, Colonel w. w. Quarles and Joseph B. Graham, he said:
 I've were so much occupied with Clarke county, and General Oates had insisted on remaining in the field in Crenshaw, that we gave that county no attention until Wednesday of this week, feeling that if both General Oates and Senator Morgan made fight there 1t would only result in dividing the vote and probably giving the county to Governor Johnston. Learning on Tuesday that General Oates had with drawn from Crenshaw, Messrs. Bowie Quarles. Graham and myself went to Cren- shaw. arriving at Luverne at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. We at once began an active and vigorous campaign, covering all parts of the county, and up to Friday

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York July 1.-The stock market
relapsed again today in the reactionary
condition, showing the same apathy and
hesitation which characterized it for
some time previous to the slight flip
which gave an appearance of some ANNA
ton and strength last week There were
times today when stocks offered quite
freely and in considerable variety and the
entire absence of demand made prices
vulnerable to the efforts by professional
bears to get them to lower level. The
actual news OF the day offered little to
account for the weakness in the market.
Probably the correct explanation is the
conviction in Wall Street that last weeks
buying was due to the closing up of
some extensive short accounts by one
or two operators on large scale While
that demand found very scanty offerings
of stocks it failed entirely to attract any
additional demand. Commission house
business continued at a very low ebb
ing the day based on the dividend pros
poets. 1t was expected that the quarterly
dividend would be declared today, but it
was announced that during the trading
that action would be deferred until to-
morrow limitations were given out.
however. that the executive committee
had already determined upon a 1Rc divi-
dend for the quarter maintaining the
same rate as the last dividend. The price
was run up to 1i9% by this rumor but
later fell back below Saturdays price,
