Louisville, KY, Feb. 8.-The exist
ence of hitch in the peace negotia-
tions and speculation as to it's 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 neces-
sary before a final agreement is
reached was indicated by the sum
mDning 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
encc. These included ey-Gov. Bradley,
Hon. A. r. 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

quarters of that body will remain
here. About 80 democratic members
came down from Cincinnati yesterday.
Twenty or more haze been here since
Sunday, while others are at their
homes ut nearby towns. Sessions Of
both houses were held at the Fifth

members Of the house responded to
their names when Speaker Trmble
called that body to order. A quorum

arms was ordered to secure the at

ate. where President l.. II. Carter and
IL members were present The meet

pectcd quorum Of each house will

The Goebsl Funeral Services.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. S.--The funeral
services of the late Gov Goebel will
commence at noon to-day in the par
lo.s Of the Capitol hotel, The services
proper will be preceded by short
procession in the streets. When
the committee on arrangements met
yesterday afternoon there was consid-
cradle debate as to whether II was adj
yisable 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
bers Of the committee were fearful
tnat in the excited state of feeling
that exists some partisan in the pro
cesson would allow his feelings to
override his judgment and fire Il 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 ii to
march past the capitol square. The
question provoked much discussion,
il 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, aud IL
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 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.
1t does not now seem probable that
iina! action will be taken on the agree
ment before the end of the week,
