to be named after him or her. Usu-

Gladstone bags, which superseded the

called after Lord Brougham, one time

"EXCEEDED AUTHORITY"
Lawyers Claim That Acting Gov
ernor Taylor Had No Right to
Adjourn legislature.


At conference of ex.Go1ernor Nc.
Creary, Judge W. 8. Pryor. MIR. Louis
McQuown and other prominent sttor.,
neys at Frankfort, Thursday, the
question of Governor 1aylor's right to
adjourn the Legislature to meet in
London, was formally discussed. The
unanimous opinion of the attorneys
was announced by McCreary, who said:
"There is nothing in the constitu-
tion of Kentucky to authorize the
governor, at this hour and under e1-
isting circumstances, to adjourn the
general assembly. and every lawyer
that have heard express an opinion
regards bis proclamation as gross
Isurpation.
'"Tbe constitution of Kentucky fixes
the date for the regular sessions of the
general assembly and says its sessions
shall be held st the seat of govern
ment, except in case of war. insurrec-
tion or pestilence, when it may ~
proclamation of the governor assemble
for the time being elsewhere.
"The general assembly is now in
session, and under the constitution
can remain in session sixty days. Be-
ing in regular session, the governor
does not have to convene the senators
and representatives and fix the places
of their meeting, and there is no war,
insurrection or pestilence. In case OF
disagreement between the two houses
with regard to adjournment, the gov
ernor may adjonrn them for not. e1-
ceediug four months, but there must
be disagreement between the two
houses, and the power to convene the
general assembly is not the power to
adjourn it when in session" !"

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Restraining Gov. Taylor From In
terferring With Meetings
of l e0i iciafufR

Saturday morning Judge Csutreli'
of the circuit court at Frankfort,
granted q temporary injunction re-
straining Governor Taylor from inter-
fering with the meetings of the legis'
lature and from removing the seat OF
the legislature to London, Ky. The
temporary injunction is to remain
binding until February 8, when the
hearing to make it permanent will be
heard before Judge Cantrell at George
town, Ky.
No attempt will be made to secure
personal service of the writ of injunc-
ton upon Governor Taylor.
Immediately after thee issuance of
the writ Judge Cantrell instructed
Sheriff Suter, of Franklin county, to
make no effort to present the order OF
court. The judge directed that it be
allowed to remain binding without
service, because of the danger threat-
eding the man who should undertake
the task and the results that might
ensue owing to the excited state of the
public mind.

SMELL FOUND GUILTY.
Georgian is Convicted of Murder
ing Lizzie Weisenberger at
Washington, D. G.

A Washington dispatch says: Ben
iamin 81. Smell, of Georgia. was con.
victed of murder in the first degree
for the killing of Lizzie Weisenberger
on the 9Th of last August by cutting
her throat with o razor. Smell stood
before the bar as the verdict was de-
livered, his head bowed, his huge
frame swaying from side to side, his
face bearing a deadly pallor as the
poll was called by the clerk, and each
juror answered Guilty as indicted. !"
The prisoners father vas not in the
court room when the jury returned,
but waited in the witness room for the
final word which would end his sus-
pense. Snell's mother returned to
her home in Georgia some days ago.
The prisoners wife was confined to
her home, having succumbed several
days ago to the. strain of trial, and his
daughter was also unable to be pres.
ent through lack of courage for the
final ordeal.
The family Of the murdered girl
were oil in their places as the words
pronouncing the legal responsibility OF
Shell sounded through the room as
the jury took their seats for the. last
time. The crier announced that any
one guilty of any demonstration upon
hearing the verdict would be brought
before the bar to show cause why he
should not be held in contempt OF
court, and there wss silence as the YER
dict was given. Immediately apon
hearing the judgment, Mr.. Turner
gave formal notice to the court that he
would submit motion for . new trial,
and the court was adjourned.
One of the prayers In the defenss's
motion will be that continuance
should have been granted because OF
the illness of Representative Fleming,
employed for the defense, who had
been assigned the responsibility OF
looking up the law in the case, and
who was taken i'll only few days be-
fore the trial.

this had been done, the Democratic

The ceremony took place in small
room on the same floor as that In
which Governor Goebel died, and but
a few doors to the west of it. In the
room at the time of the administration
of the oath were Senator-elect Black

The first official action of the new
Democratic governor was the appoint
ment of new adjutant general and
his last as acting governor was an
order removing Adjutant General COL

The new governor seemed to be
deeply affected by the position in
which circumstances had placed him,
and he did not reveal much JOY over
the congratulations which those in the
room showered upon him, although he
accepted them gratefully.
Saturday night Governor Beckham

B0ERS ARE ACTIVE
While England Continues to Dis
patch Large Forces to Africa.
CENSORSHIP IS TIGHTLY DRAWN
Consequently Authentic News From tho
Seat Of Hostilities Il
Hard TO Get.

A London special says< In the west
ern field large operations are appar-
emily about to begin.
The Beers are showing great activ-
ity in the Naauwpoort and Colesberg
districts. Many of the guns hitherto
facing Lord Methuen are believed to
have gone to Norval's point. The
British, therefore, may find formida-
BILE bodies of Beers there.
The war office announces that fifteen
transports will be dispatched between
today and Monday with l3, 900 troops.
These $4,000 are not included in the
$50, 0OO due to be in South Africa on
February 18th. The Eighth division
of 10000 men is still available to
send.
Military opinion in London contin'
ues to assume, from very slender mo-
terials, that General Butler is again
throwing his army against the Boer
works. A retired generals William
Henry Green, whose distinguished
career gives weight to his opinion,
thinks that General Butler with 25,-
900 men is making a wide detour to
the west and north in order to avoid
the roughest parts of the country. As
General Butler must have some thous-
ands of wagons, Sir William Green
points out that the advance would
necessarily be slow.
No authentic word is at hand save
that the war Office reaf6rmed orally to
newspapers inquiries at late hour
that it could not confirm the reported
advance. There the Natal situation
rests.
Sir Alfred Miner, in a letter written
three weeks ago to the former lord
mayor of Belfast, said the war would
last three or four months longer. Sir
Alfred Miner has sent most hopeful
and encouraging reports to the gov
ernment regarding the prospects OF
the campaign and it is understood that
his views are shared by Lord Roberts.
The censorship seems to have COM
pletely shut down the correspondents
at Spearman's camp. No dispatch
from that point appears in Monday
mornings papers and 2othing has
been allowed to issue since Sunday
evening.
