The proclamation OF Instruction which
adjourned the session OF the Legislature to
London, has been rescinded and the AS
sembly was ordered to meet in Frankfort
on Monday.
This action was taken as the result OF q
conference which Governor Taylor had
with Republican leaders from all parts OF
the State. At the cor clusion OF this he fin
ally announced his determination to re-
pudiate the Louisville agreement.
The pressure brought to bear upon him
came from practical politicians, who
warned him that IL he signed tho Louis
Vile agreement he would place the party
In position OF admitting defeat before 1t
had been established. They declared there
must be no surrender until the matter had
been fought out In the courts.
The action of Governor Taylor returns
the Gubernatorial fight to the exact posi-
tion 1t occupied on the day following tho
Goebel assassination, With the additional
complication that there was only one Leg
islature and one Governor in fact, whereas
there are now two claimants for the posi-
ton, and two separate bodies, each claim
ing to be the lawmaklng power OF Ken
tucky,

Wonderful Pearl Banks.

Pearls will be more plenty, but
possibly no cheaper, if the British
syndicate in New Caledonia accom-
plishes what it expects. Some twelve
banks of large extent have been dis
covered slong the eastern coast of
New Caledonia and adjacent islands
By the aid Of a submarine apparatus
which oan descend 600 feet below the
surface. By this machine large
banks of hitherto unreachable banks
of shells have been reached. One Of
these banks is four miles long and 100
yards wide at a depth of $50 feet.
Pearls one pound in weight and up.
ward are being found. Large num-
bers of pearls are sometimes found in
q single shell. Some of these pearls
are valued at S100 to $500 each. E1-
pert divers from Tahiti are to be
brought to these beds and the indus
try energeticslly developed.-Phila-

ness Done by Them.
WASHINGTON, D. c. Especially Thrifty
country postm asters will be surprised
when they learn of the check which the
postal authorities have designed to put
upon them in future. as is generally
known, all postmasters, except the one IN
New York City, whose salary is fixed by
law, have their salaries gauged by the
amount OF money received during the year
from tho sale OF postage stamps.
~ It hos for years been the custom Of coun-
try postmasters to swell the sales OF stamps
at their respective offices fnr in excess OF
the business Of the town or village, and
thus render themselves eligible for In.
creased pay, by inducing New York mer-
chants and manufacturers who live In
suburban towns OF New Jersey, New York
and Connecticut, aud who use gront quan-
titles of postage stamps In their business,
to purchase these stamps from tho village
or town postmaster.
More than S1,00O,000 in stamps bought
in country postofflces arc handled in New
York City alone yearly, and rs result the
local authorities get no credit Tor the
work they haYe5to do with this big mall.
Steps have bseh taken to stop this scheme
to benefit the country postmasters at the
expense of thosein the large cities.
Hereafter alEspostage stamps delivered
to postmasters will bear. Department
private mark, which, tits thought, will
put stop to the business. This new rule
will 20 into force pretty soon.

DEMOCRATS MEET IN LOUISVILLE.
They Decide to Hold Their Legislative
Session In That City.

= LOUISVILLE, Ky. Especially The collapse
OF the peace negotiations through Govern
or Taylor's rejection OF the Louisville
agreement and tho latter's action in calling
off the London meeting Of the Legislature
and partly withdrawing the troops have
left tho fight over State officers dlvested OF
many Of its warlike features, but In worse
legal tangle than over.
The receipt of the news from Frankfort
was followed Immediately by q gathering
OF the Democractic leaders at the Willard
Hotel. At this conference were Senator
Blackburn, j. c. ". Beckham, General
Castleman, President Garter, OF the Senate;
Speaker Trimble and others.
At its conclusion Mr.. Beckham sent to
tho Legislature q message reclting the
failure OF the peace negotiations and the
conditions existing ut Frankfort as seen by
him, and recommending that the legisa-
tors continue their sessions In Louisville,
as he could not guarantee their personal
security or protect them from unwarrant-
ed interference at Frankfort. Acting on
this suggestion the members OF the Legis-
lature decided to remain In Louisville for
the present.
bill was introduced in the State Senate
here by Senator Fergerson providing for
an appropriation OF 100000 to be ex-
pended In the capture and prosecution OF
the murderer Of William Goebel. This sum
is to be expended under the direction OF
John K. Hendrlck, G.. W. Brndburn and
Joseph X. Lewis, three OF Goebel's strongest
supporters in his last days.

A Craat of Cloth.

Ons OF the ornithologists attached
to the Smithsonian Institution was
collecting specimens of the birds of
southwestern Mexico not long ago,
when he saw cow-bird which seemed
to him to possess white crest. Now,
properly, the cow.bird is altogether
black, and the top of his head Is as
smooth as the poll of a young dry
goods clerk. Evidently this strange
matter required Investigation, and q
gunshot brought the bird to the
ground. Then was found more un-
expected marvel than was anticipated.
The "snow-white crest" proved to be
piece of white cloth that had been
stitched into the birds scalp and
trimmed to represent cocks COMB,
'sit hid doubtless been done when the
bird was very young" says the Oh,
server, ''by some Of the natives, ana
the wounds Of the operation were en-
tirely healed. Ernest. 1rss"'Sc.', =

GUERILLA WAR IN LUZON.

Insurgent Bands.

Bushwhacking Tactics OF the Scattered
Insurgent Bands.
MANILA (By Cable).-Of late the iDsur
gents In Albay Province, Luzon, have
adopted harasslng tactics against the
towns which the Americans have garri-
soned. They camp In the hills and main
tain constant fire upon the American out
posts. When the troops sally against them
they scatter, returning when the Americans
retire.
They shoot buraing arrows, and have
thus burned large part Of the town OF AL
buy. Indeed, most Of the larger towns iu
that province are practically deserted, ex-
cept by the garrisons. Scarcely any otthe
Inhabitants return to their homes. They
are camping in the interior and, it is sup
posed, armed insurgents prevent them 60
ing back.
Guerilla warfare continues south of Ma
nila. Two attempts have been made to
ambush the Americans. General Schwan.
while returning to Manila with his staff
and an escort OF hundred cavalry from
Batungas, was attacted by the insurgents
The latter were dispersed, but the Amer
leans had FIVE men wounded.

The London streets are IN afearful con-

pedestrians have sustained fractured limbs
from falling on the 10y pavements. The
horses have suffered greatly, many having
to be shot after breaking their legs. Sew
