Louisville, KY, Feb. s.-The exist
ence of hitch in the peace negotia-
tons and speculation as to its prob
able duration occupied the minds of
politicians to the exclusion of every
thing else yesterday That another
conference between the representa-
tives of the two parties may be nOces-
sary before a final agreement il
REACHED was indicated by the sum
moning to Frankfort yesterday after
noon of republican attorneys who
have all along advised the leaders of
that party and some of whom were
present at Tuesday nights confer
ence. These included ex-Gov. Bradley,
Hon. A. +. Wilson and David w. Far
leigh. The last named was said to be
out of the city. The others left on
an afternoon train for Frankfort. The
republicans of this city are not
agreed as to the wisdom of closing
the negotiations on the basis of the
| agreement reached Tuesday night.
A majority of the democratic mem
bers of the legislature are in the city
and until Friday at least the head
quarters of that body will remain
here. About 30 democratic members
came down from Cincinnati yesterday.
| Twenty or more have been here since
Sunday, while others are at their
homes at nearby towns. Sessions of
both houses were held at the Fifth
Avenue hotel at one o'clock. Forty
members of the house responded to
their names when Speaker Trimble
called that body 10 order. A quorum
not being present the Eergeant-at-
arms was ordered to sesilre the at
tendance of absent members. The
house then adjourned until to-day.
| Similar action was taken in the sem
ate. twhere President l., n. Carter and
l2S9embers were present. The meet
ing1to-day will he helI simply to com
| ply with the law. BY Friday il is eX-
peotcd quorum of each house will
be present. If that is the case the
Legislature will adjourn to meet Mon
day in Frankfort if the peace nego-
| tiatioRs are in stationary state. If
not, regular business will be taken up
and the sessions will be continued In
this city, in accordance with the plans
which were being carried out last
Sunday, when overtures for peace
conference were made
Frankfort, KY, Feb s.-The funeral
services of the late Gov. Goebel win
commence at noon to-day in the par
los of the Capitol hotel. The services
proper will be preceded by a short
procession in the streets. When
| the committee on arrangements met
| yesterday afternoon there was consid-
cradle debate as to whether it was adj
| visable for the funeral procession to
| pass the capitol grounds, where the
soldiers are camped and in which the
dead man was shot down. Some mem
beers of the committee were fearful
that in the excited state of feeling
that exists some partisan in the pro-
cesson would allow his feelings to
override his judgment and fire shot
or two into the capitol grounds and
create trouble. Others were strongly
in favor of having the parade take
the route that would require it to
march past the capitol square. The
| question provoked much discussion,
it was finally decided that the march
| past the capitol grounds should be
made, and the route was so arranged.
No Action on the Agreement
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. s.-The confer
encc in the Office of Gov Taylor ended
at midnight without any action being
taken on the agreement. The meet
ing of last night was called for the
purpose of informal conference, and it
was not the intention of Gov. Taylor
to announce his determination regard
ing the agreement. Gov, Taylor
showed to the gentlemen in the meet
ing a great number of kilograms he
had received from all parts of the
state urging him not to give up and
many of them censuring him for ac-
! cepting the terms of the agreement.
