LEGAL OPINION ON
 KENTUCKY TROUBLE
Members of Congress Have Been Studying the Subject Deeply. But Differ in
 Their Decisions

Washington, February IA number of lawyers of the house of both political par ties spent part of today in consideration of the legal phases of the situation in Ken lucky. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, said:
 "It is beyond cavil that Taylor, up to whatever action was taken yesterday was legally governor of Kentucky, because he held the certificate of election from the board of elections under the Goebel law If the contest was legally passed upon by the terms of the Geobel law, then Goebel is governor and Taylor is ousted.'
 Representative Rhea, of Kentucky, said: --sThe democrats have pursued constitutions al and peaceful methods and public sen-i >,timent must and will sustain this party. Goebel has been duly declared governor by the only constitutional body authorized to determine the rights of the contest, in a perfectly legal and orderly manner and will be sustained in the course of this country"
 Representative Myers, democrat of Indi- ana, who was judge of the circuit court of Indiana for two terms. said that he had read the provision of the Kentucky eonsti- tion empowering the governor to adjourn VnS feBlSlature In case or war, lnSurrec- tion or pestilence, to such place as he should fix and 1t seemed to him that the governor must be the judge of the exis- tence of a state of insurrection. N'. ''Governor Taylor having declared a state of insurrection and adjourned the legsla- ture to meet February G. its strikes me in an hand way that no action taken by the members of the legislature before that date could be legal"
 Representative Grout, of Vermont, sa11: The certificate of the election commission- CT uade Tayiorss title as governor com picte. iii Illegally set aside by the legisla- ,tlrr. Tho committee of the house had Hound Goebel elected, and if that finding had been legally adopted by the legislature IL would unquestsonably make Goebel the legal governor
 'But meantime Governor Taylor, under a provision in the constitution, called the Legislature together at London on the ground that Frankfort was in a state of lllsurIecton. Whether the condition in Frankfort justified this action of the gov efnor Is, or course, a proper inquiry for the courts, and l will venture no opinion upon 1t. Until held illegal by the courts, it must stand. and the fact remains that the leg dsiature was not allowed to and did not as- senlble as legislature and adopt :!le .e- port giving GOebel the seat. In an infor- mai way 1t declared him elected I believe the courts will hold that the action of the legislature should have been in two houses as delfberative bodies regularly convened in order to make it's action legal.

TERRY M'GOYERN AGAIN VICTORIOUS Shows Himself Clearly Entitled to the Championship. SANTRY FELL IN THE FIFTH While santry's Guard Was Down Jerry Whipped His Left to Jaw and
 it Was All Up With
 Chicago's Pet
SANTRY FELL IN THE FIFTH

zo HeHr lary 1.-Terry McGoyern of H=s1aFr uttersalrs tonight, proved hI5 rIaz title of feather weight ,.Iluniou J, the world by knocking out Eddir scnlr3s f Chicago, who claimed the head. ia of ne 122-pound class by virtue of ? I=51elz-7uH of Ben Jordan, of England. rHa llazckzaa came in the fifth round. af- Ter q neree x-up, in which Santry did s0.4a lle-er eiork, but Terry was too roundstrong for the Chicago lad, and straightened Santry up with short arm jolt to the stomach landed left and right to the jaw in quick succession, and Santry fell to the floor on his face.
 Santry tried to fight at long range but Terry would rush in headlong, and took many a left-handed jab on the nose in his anxiety to land a knockout. In the third round Santry made an even break of it, doing some good jabbing, and Terry was unable to get in close enough to use the short arm jolts that have made him fam ous. Santry tried to keep away in the fifth round, but Terry slowed him down with a treath-takng blow in the stomach San try. seeing he could not escape from Me Govern, made stand in the middle of .te T4IB. bOIn were SWiihBfIlS Wlluly WuSu Sub- derly Terry uppercut Santry on ;he jaw. Samfys guard dropped for the smallest fraction of second and Mciovern whip ped the left over to the jaw. He followed the bow up with right swing and caught Santry CT the ear as he was falling SanIry fell to the floor on his face and rolled over. At the count of nine he got to his knees and tried to straighten up, but was unable to stand and the referee gave the fight to McGovern.
 Santry was unable to leave the ring for fully ten minutes after being counted out
 McGovern did not have a mark on him as he left the ring. The betting before the fight was two to one that Santry would be knocked out before the sixth round
 It was the greatest boxing show ever brought off in Chicago. Special trains were run from nearby towns, and fully 15,- 900 people damned and pushed through the building.
 Clever left handed jabbing and fast foot work won the decision for Ed Denfass, of Philadelphia, over Billy Stiff, of Chicago at the end of the sixth round in the pre- liminary. Stiff was outclassed from the start and was unable to reach the Philadel- phian with any of his swings. They met at catch weights, both weighing considerably over 160 pounds.

THE SENATE

Washington, February 1.-Nearly the en- occupied by MT. Allen, populist of Nebras- ka, in the discussion of the report of Sec retary Gage concerning his transactions with the National City bank of New York
 MT. Daniel, democrat of Virginia, then delivered an extended speech on the pend ing financial measure. He vigorously op- posed the proposition that the country should go to the gold standard.
 Daniel Ransdell and Charles G. Bennett, of New York. were sworn in as sergeant at-arms and secretary of the senate re- spectively.
 Referring to further correspondence be- tween Secretary Gage and Mir. Stillman, MT. Allen charged the latter with inviting the treasury department to give the coun- try the impression that there was more money in the banks of New York than there really was. This ought, in his opin- ion, to have called forth a sharp rebule from the secretary, but the correspondence showed none
 Sarcastic comment was made by MT. AL len upon that part of the correspondence which related to the transaction of the government business in the Philippines through the National City bank.
 "Id like to ask the senator" inquired MT. Carter, eff he thinks there is anything ob- jectionable in an effort made by the gov- ernment to try to pay its soldiers in the Philippines in American money through an

BOY KILLED
Meagre Details of a Dynamite Explo-
 sion on Southern Extension

Meagre details of the killing of boy named Jones by the explosion of dynamite, and of the marrow escape from death of two men who were with him. reached the city late yesterday afternoon. The accident occurred on the extension of the Southern railway, between Coalburg and Brookside, and appears to have been caused by pre- mature explosion.
 The contractors are blasting out the mountain side along the route, and thous- ands of tons of stone and earth are being houled into the valley. and into the creek that flows through.
 From the meagre information at hand it would seem that the killing of the boy Jones was due to accident entirely.

The fire started at 1:30 p. and was not gotten under control until 4:30.
 There were about twenty business houses in 'Collinsville, some of them carrying very large stocks of goods, and these were all consumed by the flames, with the exception of three small houses. The loss is esti- mated at about $100 00O
