FIGHT WILL BE
TO A. FINISH.
Little Chance Of a Settlement of Gov
ernorship Contest Until the
Courts Have Passed on it.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. 19.-The I'M
preston that the contest over the Cover
norslhip n.ill not be ended till it is fought
to a finish in the courts is not iessened
by the action taken by the Democratic
Senators in their session to-day, ratifylnS
their former action by which Goebet was
declared Governor.
The Republicans who spoke for Cover
nor Taylor, said that he would not reCoS-
nize as legal the proceedings taken to-day,
and would it is anticipated, be dupllca ted
in the House Tomorrow, but has told
them that he looks upon these proceed
ings as illegal, and will not quit the fight
until the whole matter is passed upon In
the courts OF last resort.
His position is, that the former PRO-
ceedings being void. the ratification to-
day gives them no legal vitality; that
the legal presiding officer Lieutenant
Governor Marshall, had declared the
session adjourned when the vote in ques-
ton was taken, and that the vote should
have been taken iby yeas and nays. as in
the case of a bill or joint resolution.
Negotiations TO settle the conflict be-
tween Northumberland Marshall and
Senator Carter over the Chair in the Sen
ate went on again this afternoon, but
no agreement has been reached so far.
There is talk among the Democratic
Senators tonight OF voting on the ratiii-
cation resolutions Tomorrow in the Sen
ate by yeas and nays. These resolutions
to-day received the support of twenty
one Senators, two more than quorum.

RELIGION AND ART.
DR.. Benjamin. Idc Wbceler's Fourth
Lecture at tho College.

DR.. Benjamin Ide Wheeler delivered the
fourth lecture of the Thomas course last
night at Richmond College, before one of
the largest audiences that has greeted
him. The speaker was introduced by
President Boatwright. The subject OF the
lecture last night was Religion and
Art The address in substance was as
follows:
1t was the mission of Rome to proclaim
to the world the law civic order; of Israel
to unfold the law of righteousness; of
Greece to set forth the law. of beauty.
That Greece should do this is conditioned
upon her climate and land. the health
and beauty OF her people, and the avai!a-
Dllity of the materials of art. but directly
and essentially connected with the inhe-
rent Greek sense for personal freedom and
personal Initiative and the religious feel
ing that grew therefrom.
The land stimulated to intensive rather
than extensive effort. Nothing was vast.
The climate produced the clear effect OF
outline that are characteristic of art and
scenery alike. Upon this too, was de-
door athletic sport. which. through the
occasion it gave for observation OF the
naked body, strongly stimulated the artis-
tic temper and determined the artistic
bent.
The clear white marble of various quar-
ries became the opportunity of art. That

ed abundant supply of this material ex-
art were set for marble.

the small, well-shapen head, neck long
and well set, eyes blue; relatively low
forehead; straight, hisn-bridged nose,

between the brows; square facial angle;

shapen legs. All indications point to high
degree of health and large endurance
The religion of the Greeks made the
gods near the life. They Were greater
humans. Whether the art of Greeks
leaned toward realism or idealism cannot
be affirmed, for the issue did not arise
They used models. unquestionably. and
their creations have the marks of indf-
viduality, but they chose the character
istic and typical. and in fashioning types
of their gods took what was best in the
human and made therefrom the normal
and named 1t divine.
OF all things the Greek loved the hu-
man. The human soul was the centre
and nucleus of effort creation and life.
Man was the measure OF all things that
