TAYLOR APPEALS
TO THE PRESIDENT.

HE ASKS FOR RECOGNITION.

Washington, Feb l President
McKioley has received lorg mes
sage from Gov Taylor of Kentucky
dated today, at Frankfort. Gov
Taylor declares that be. considers
himself the legally elected executive
of the State and says that riot may
occur at any time which will cause
much bloodshed Gov Taylor says
that he is doubtful Of his power to
control the situation, aud appeals to
the PRECEDENT to end the matter and
secure peace IN the State by recog

Gov Taylor's communication to
President Mckinley is in it's nature a
memorial. It goes at great length
into the situation in Kentucky, max

there While definite and absolute
information on this point is not OBJ
tainable, there is reason to believe
that specific request for the immed
late presence of federal troops is not
made No action Of any kind has
been taken on Gov Taylor's memori
al, and it can be positively stated
that up to midnight no decision
whatever with reference to it had
been reached 1t will be considered
at tomorrow g regular cabinet session.

LEGISLATURE MEETS.
The Democratic members of the
legislature today effected a regular
organization for the first time since
the swearing in of Gov Goebel A
secret session Of the members of
both houses was held in one of the
pariors of the Capitol hotel, at which
the election of William Goebel, as
governor, and j C w Beckham. as
lieutenant Governor. was reaffirmed,
first in separate sessions of the house
and senate, and afterward in joint
session Preceding this action the
members of the senate elected as
president protein Senator Carter, who
was nominated for that position at
yesterdays caucus A committee
of the members of the house, COM
posed of Representatives Finn,
Laferty, and Cochran, was also ap-
pointed TO draw up a set of reso'u-
tions showing the condition of affairs
as it exists at the State capital today,
and covering thoroughly the Demo
cratic side of the controversy. Pro-
baby 60 further attempt will be
made to hold sessions in the State
house.
1t seems to be we'll understood
among the Democratic members of
the Legislature that the session at
Londen will be ignored altogether by
them and that no Democrat will at
tend "until compelled to do so,'
The Democratic members will con
tinue to hold session at some con.
ventient place until the political at
mosphere has cleared. This plan of
action was decided on to forestall any
attempt on the part of the Republi-
cans to arrest them and compel their
attendance at London. which action,
has been determined upon by Gov
Taylor
If arrests are attempted. no resist
ance will be made by the Democrats,
either to arrest or 20 attending the
session at London shou Idthey be ar
rested 1t was determined that all
acts of violence should be avoided,
ard that the battle for supremacy
hereafter should be fought out in the
courts. Nevethelesss, the situation
tonight is regarded grave by mem
bers of DO tbparties, and no one IS
willing to forecast the result of the
anticipated clash of authority be-
tween Gov Taylor and the Stale
courts

remarkable wounds:

hope of saving the left eye-placid

laughed gleetully with that side

Dald-he being Highlander.
Another Highlander was soounded
at Magersfontein, healed up, and
had just come back wounded again
at Paardeberg The coincidence
seemed to amuse him. eyes, sir,
the bullets are all over you. 1t once

Transfer Of British
Shipping interests
In Far East To
German Flag.
Some Alarm In English
Mercantile Circles.

Some alarm is felt in mercantile
circles in England over the recent
transfers of important shipping int
erets in the Far East from the Brit.
ish to the German Flag. Last sum-
mer all the steamers OF an import
ant line running between Singapore
and Bangkok we're transferred very
quietly to posoerful German synd
icate. The steamers, il is said, cons
titu.ed about one-third of the En-
glish shipping at Bangkok. News
now comes that one Ofthe largest of
German steamship companies has
Just absorbed another line Of British
steamers, consisting of fourteen
boats with a combined capacity OF
II, 900 tons, plying befaceen Bang
kok, Hong Kong, anil Singapore.
Thus 76 per cent. of the BangkOk
shipping trade has come under the
German dag. Other negotiations
of a similar character are said TO he
current. The theory that the lii rs
did not pay is dispr led seemina ly
by the TACT that Danish capitals s
are building new Sledmets 70 ruG
over the same roure. There is snp'
posed tc be some clos, cenNect'n n
between this development of G r
man activity in marlGine AFFAIRS N
the Far East and the Emper0r's deS
ire for large navy, and there is q
suspicion that part at least OF the
amount Of the purchase money need
ed for this large fleet OF steamers
was furnished from government sour
ces. At ali events the SEA trade Ol
Bangkok is apparently lost TO the
British.
