PLOT AND C~OUNTERPLOT.
Many Attempts by the Civil Authori-
ties to Outwit Taylor

FRANKFORT. KY, March 1o.-The
situation here reached a point of excite
ment to-day almost approaching that OF
the stirring times Immediately following
the assassination of Mr.. Goebel. The rein
statement of the military power In COM
plete control of the state executive build
ing and the refusal of the military authori-
ties to allow the local police and civil off,
GERS to enter the building for the purpose
of arresting Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers and Capt. John w. Davis, charged
with being accessories to the Goebel as
sassination, and the probability Of a con-
fict between tine civil and military au-
thorities made the situation look serious
during most of the day. The tension was
somewhat relieved tonight by the escape
of Powers and Davis from the city.
This morning City Marshal Richardson
applied at the executive building and de-
manded admittance for the purpose of ar
resting Powers and Davis, but was turned
back. The warrants were then given to
Sheriff Suter. The latter also presented
himself at the executive building and de-
manded admittance. He was referred by
the officer in charge to Colonel Morrow,
and the latter being found said: 81 am
sorry, Mr.. Sheriff, but it is against Gov
ernor Taylor's orders to let any one into
the building to-day"
Sheriff Suter then held a consultation
with County Attorney Polsgrove. Common
wealth's Attorney Franklin and other Of
ficials. Meantime the police force had been
doubled. A detail guarded each Of the en-
frances to the Statehouse grounds to pre-
vent the men wanted from escaping If they
should attempt to do SO. At the confer
ence between the officials 1t was decided
that the sheriff should summon a large re-
serve force OF deputies to be called into
use in the event it was decided to attempt
to enter the building by force to make the
arrests, and in pursuance Of this the sheriff
swore in fifty men. who were stationed in
the neighborhood of the sheriff's Office dur
ing the afternoon.
Sheriff Suter made another attempt to
get an audience with Governor Taylor this
afternoon. but was unsuccessful. The
streets were fairly blocked with people IN
the vicinity of the S~tatehouse. but there
was no open demonstration, though it was
evident the populace was on the side Of the
civil authorities. AT 5 o'clock Sheriff Suter.
having failed to get any sort OF under
standing with the military authorities as
to the arrest of the persons named. sub
mitted the question to Democratic Gov
ernor Beckham to decide as to h ex-
tent the civil Offices should go to gain ad-
mittance to the building for the purpose Of
making arrests.

says to-day: General Sir Frederick Car
rington's staff has been selected and the
names turn out to be those Of retired OFF,

conceal the fact that ne is going to South
Africa by arrangement between the gov
eminent and the Chartered Company, to
take. command of the force which the COM
pany will pay for. though he may be some
time occupied in policing the territory Of
the two republics which may fall into our
hands pending a political settlement. 1t is
hoped to begin re-embarking the bulk Of
the British forces in South Africa by July
]. II is said that General Butler still ex-
poets TO see the Derby run. but that is too
good to be true. Yet many things may
happen in eleven or twelve weeks, as things
are going. This, taken in connection with
Cecil RhodeSs statement that the Char
tered Company would buy artillery for
Kimberley, shows conclusively that the
company intends TO have arms and an army
of its own"

rum present when the General Assembly
approved the reports OF the contest ooa.uS
and that it had been adjourned, the Iore-
going authorities say the statement Oh INC
legislative records that there was enen q
quorum is sufficient.
To the contention that the action OF .ne
contest board and of the General Assembly
in approving the report of that ooard was
an act of arbitrary power and In Vioiatioh
of the bill of rights, the answer must De,
Judge Field holds, that the report recl'eS
that the board heard the evidence ol poln
parties: that il was acting within the luriS-
diction given it and to il alone; ana tne
power to hear and determine must Oh ne
cessity rest
1t is further insisted by counsel, tne
opinion continues. that under the law the
election of a Cover Ut is by the voters ol
the whole State, and that IL the votes
material number, from whatever cause are
thrown out, then there has been no election
and it should be declared void. The on.
ficulties in that direction, Judge fleio
holds, are that neither party claims tne
election was void, but each claims ne was
legally elected.
Judge Field concludes as follows: the
report of the contest board does not inul-
cate upon which or how many OF the con-
testants' grounds or contest -.
whether upon the alleged tissue ballots or
military interference or other OF the nu.
merous grounds specified, and L am NOT
permitted upon this hearing to look into
the evidence: but if each party has sus-
tanned by proof the charges of fraud MADE
against the other in the pleadings and THIS
were a proper place for the application OF
that principle, l would hold them to De IN
pari delicto as violators of the law and re-
fuse to aid either of Them"
The decision rendered to-day is In three
suits which were argued before judge
Field last Friday and Saturday, consoH-
dated under the style of the suit OF VS.
TAYLOR against ]. c.. w. Beckham. Inc
other two suits were John Marshall against
j. c. w. eckham and j. G.. w. Beckham
and T, H Carter against w. S. Taylor.
The parties to the suits asked injunctions
to prevent their opponents from filling the
offices of Governor and lieutenant cover
nor. The contest will now go to the hlgher
courts.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 10.-A decision
sustaining the contention Of the Democrats
that the Legislature is a tribunal desig-
mated by the Constitution for the decision
of contests for the office of Governor and
lieutenant governor was handed dow In
the Circuit Court this morning by Judge
Field. The Republicans will appeal the
case to the State Court Of Appeals, and IL
the decision there is against them will try
to get a hearing before the United States
Supreme Court.
Judge Field reviews the history of the
case and the ~pleadings Of both sides, but
devotes most Of his opinion to quotations
from courts OF last resort involving the
competency Of the Legislature finally to
decide similar disputes. He quotes the re-
ports of the contest boards finding in favor
of the Democratic contestants for Governor
and lieutenant governor, and says that

PERU, Ind, March 10.-The four children
Of Arthur Williams, whose family lived for
four days in a submerged hut on an island
in the Wabash river, will probably die as a
result of their terrible experience. The sud-
den rise in the Wabash river some days
ago during the night caused the ice to open
and the only boat of the family was
crushed. The family could not cross to the
shore and for four days no one heard their
calls for help. During this time the river
gradually rose, submerging the hut, and for
three days the family was compelled to
stand on chairs and tables and finally, on
the fourth day and night chung to the mar
row roof of the shed to escape drowning.
