President Mckinley and the Cabinet
Decide There Is Yet No Cause
for Intervention.
DEMOCRATS ASK INJUNCTION
Governor Taylor Will Not Allow Members
of the Legislature to Enter the Grounds
Of the State House to Hold
q Session.

DOQy SnOulQ De ADMITTED to the GROUNDS
of the capitol under any circumstances
Passes were taken up when presented
The object of the new order Is to pre-
vent any civilian serving any legal pa
pers upon him.
1t Is the intention of the Democrats
to secure an injunction at 10 o'clock re-
straining Governor Taylor from inter-
fering in any way with the meetings Of
the legislature, and enjoining him and
Lieutenant Governor Marshall from ex-
ercising the functions Of state officers.
There Is no chance whatever that serv-
ice can be secured on Governor Taylor,
as the executive building is circled by
sentries, and an entire company post
ed night and day in an ante-room just
outside his office. Every civilian who
could possibly be the bearer of legal
documents will be turned back by the
soldiers.
No attempt has been made to enforce
the pardon OF Douglass Hayes. Govern
or Taylor by his refusal to recognize
the state courts, placed himself in such
a position that he cannot make legal
process against the warden. The one
thing left for him to do Is to liberate
Hayes by force, and he has evinced no
disposition as yet to employ this means
The Democrats plan Is to make for
NAL demand for admission to the legis-
lative halls of the state house every
day. They will be denied admittance by
ton of two companies from Barbours-
vile, will remain here. These two CON-
panies have been ordered to London for
the meeting of the legislature there next
Tuesday Governor Taylor is making
all arrangements for the session there.
Many Republicans went home last
night and this morning all as are in
tending to- go to London Monday.
1T is probable quorum will not be
present at the opening session of the
legislature" said Representative Var
berry, "but there will be before Tues
day night, Of that you can rest as
sured."
Constable Harrod, who took Harland
Whitaker, the alleged assassin, to
Louisville, has given out what is re-
garded as evidence pointing to the ac
cused mans guilt. Harrod says Wnltta-
ker, while en- route to Louisville, told
him he had some $1,000 at home and IS
in his pocket which he would give to be
allowed to escape. The officer also said
that Whitaker contradicted the state
ment Of Captain Davis. In whose COM
pany he was found when arrested. Da-
Wis insists that Whitaker was sitting
in a room adjoining Governor Taylor's
office when the shot that felled Goebel
was fired. Harrod claims that Whitta-
ker says he was on the third floor of the
building.
Frankfort, February "A petition
was filed in the circuit court to-day for
an injunction against Taylor. 1t Is
signed by all the Democratic members
of the legislature. After reciting the
events of the past few days, the petition
closes as follows: "They therefore ask
for an immediate injunction enjoining
and restraining the defendants and all
others from removing or attempting to
remove this Legislative body to the city
of London or elsewhere than the capltol
at Frankfort; that, Furthermore, the de-
PENDANTS and all others be enjoined and
restrained from preventing by force Of
the military or otherwise, the plaintiffs
from entering into the public building
known as the state house, in order that
they may discharge their official duties
to their constituents and to the state.
They assert under the facts Of this case
they are entitled to immediate relief,
restraining the commission or continu-
ance of these usurped powers by the de-
PENDANTS and those who claim to act
under his orders"
Washington, February 1.-The Ken
lucky delegation, consisting Of Senator
elect Blackburn and Representatives
Rhea, Smith, Allen, Gilbert and ex-Rep-
resentative Thompson, called upon
President Mckinley to protest against
federal interference in that state Sena-
tor Lindsay was also present. The Ken
tuchans said federal interference would
cause an uprising that could not be
easily quelled. They expressed an opin-
ION that the difficulties would be ad-
justed without further violence IL the
people Of Kentucky were allowed to
settle the matter themselves. Mr..
Blackburn said his interview was alto
gether pleasant and satisfactory. The
president assured the delegation that
he deplored the situation, and federal
