Taylor Did Not sign.
Frankfort, KY, Feb 10.-Gov. Tay-
lor did not, yesterday afternoon, sign
the Louisville peace agreement. He
announced that he had no intention OF
doing so for some time and did not
know whether he would sign it at all.
On the other hand the democrats were
confident he would affix his signature
to the document.
A Day of Conferences.
1t was a day of conferences in
Frankfort. They were in full swing
from 10: 80 in the morning until $40
in the evening, and outwardly nothing
tangible resulted from them. The sit
uation last night was to all appear
ances exactly where it was when the
peace agreement was first submitted
to Gov. Taylor.
Says Taylor Will Not Sign.
About 4:30 p. m. Gov. Taylor and
Secretary of State Powers came out of
the governors office and held a long
whispered conversation outside the
door. Gov. Taylor then re-entered the
room and Mr.. Powers left the build
ing.
1.-The governor will not sign the
agreement" said Mr.. Powers, as he
walked out of the door. 1t was impos-
traoted debate. Every one of thosa
who took part refused to discuss the
matter in any way.
Last evening Gov. Taylor repeated
his assertion, made during the after
noon, that he would not take any ac-
ton on the peace agreement for the
present.
A Decision Reported Reached.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 10.-Late last
night the situation was somewhat
changed. Adjt.-Gen. Collier was again
called into Gov. Taylor's office, and
was in consultation with him until
late hour, but would say nothing as to
what transpired. From other and au-
ttcritative sources, however, it was
learned that decision had finally been
reached, and that the peace agree
raent probably would receive the sig
nature of Gov. Taylor inside of "a
hours.

capped destruction by tornado Thurs

dences standing on a hill and reduced
them to splinters. The first house de-
molished was that occupied by Frank
hobart. He, his son ard daughter
were buried in the debris and it was
some tine before they were rescued,

ALL BRITAIN WAITING.
Anxious to Learn Which Side VIII
Strike First-ConRdent Feeling.


Strike First-Conhdent Feeling.
London, Feb. 13.-Great Britain re
mains awaiting anxiously to learn
which side will succeed in striking
first. The feeling, however, is much
more confident than at the opening OF
last week, in consequence of the
widespread belief that the hands o1
Field Marshal Roberts and Gen. Kitch,
ener are now firmly gripped at the
helm, and that whatever happens, the
campaign will now be waged under
careful, comprehensive plans, in which
all the forces will cooperate. Both
sides seem to be collecting themselves
for attack.
ROer Aggressiveness.
The left horn of the Boer army is
creeping through Zululand, and
threatening the British right, and al
Chieveley Gen. Joubert, with 6,O0G
men, is reported to be endeavoring to
attack Gen. Butler. Boer aggressive
ness has already developed, and has
met with a repulse at Rensberg, while
from, what now becomes the most i'm
portant point of the compaign, the
Modder river, comes the news of cease.
less activity and redoubled vigilance.
The LOng-Yearned-FOr Opportunity
These reports create hopefulness in
Great Britain, rather than anxiety, fol
the impression exists that the Boe1
aggressiveness will give the British
troops their long-yearned-for oppor,
tunity, and tend greatly to assist the
broad plan of campaign which Lord
Roberts may shortly be expected to
set in motion at the Modder river.
In the meanwhile, Ladysmith must
await the exigencies attendant upon
the more important military move
ments now on foot. It is said positive
ly that Gen. MacDonald's withdrawal
from Koodoosberg was ordered by
Gen. Methuen, under Lord Roberts
instructions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The complete
report of the deep waterways commits.
sion was sent to the house of represen.
tatives by Secretary Root, The project
before the commission Is one Of vast
magnitude for q deep waterway aud
routes between the Great Lakes and
Atlantic tidewater. The estimated
cost of a 21-foot waterway is given at
$206, 1856, 600, and of a 30-foot waterway
at $9l7,274, 500. An additional estimate
is made for deepening the harbors at
Chicago and Duluth, making the total
aggregate for the 30,foot channel
$322, 1884, 600. The cost of annual MAIN
tenance of the 2l-foot waterway is
given 1T -. 243. 472 ard Of tho ''o-$oot
waterway -, 93o, s08.
The most favorable route, the com.
mission states, for a 30 foot waterway
from the lakes to the sea is ''from Lake
Erie to Lake Ontario via LaSalle and
Lewiston, and from Lake Ontario to
the Hudson river via Oswego and the
Mohawk valley, and that the same
route is practically as favorable as any
