LEXINGTON, KY, April 29t-Gover-
nor W. S.. Taylor passed through here
to-day from Washington, en- route to
Frankfort. He was met by a large
number of leading citizens at the sta
tion. He said he returned to silence
the rumors that he was endeavoring to
escape indictment. His friends insist
that these rumors were started by
some one who took advantage OF his
absence. After learning whether there
is an indictment against MIN he will
return to Washington. His wife ac-
companied him. He is looking we'll
and appreciated the fact that his
friends met him. A number of Lex
ingtonians will go to Frankfort on
Monday to aid him in any way in their
power.
FRANKFORT, Ky, April 29.-Gov-
w. S. Taylor returned here from
Washington to-day and spent the day

CHICAGO, April 29.-The Rev. Da-
vid S. Monroe, secretary OF the Metho-
dist general conference, which meets
in Chicago Wednesday, declared to-
day that the question of seating the
provisional delegates will bring on the
first discussion after the conference
conyenes and will probably be referred
to a special committee. 1t will re-
quire only 189 votes from the 565 reg
ular delegates to rule out the provis-
ional reports, but it is thought the
laymen will get more than the re-
quired two-thirds vote Of the confer
ence.
The proposed admission Of women
delegates also is expected to cause a
warm debate. In 1888 the general con-
ference established a precedent when
the bishops decided that women dele
gates should not be seated, and their
names were not called. In 1896 Secre-
tary Monroe called the names of three
women who were present as delegates,
but they remained without their title
disputed for n day only.

LONDON, April 30.-5 a. m.-The
only dispatch from Lord Roberts pub
lished yesterday was the usual list OF
deaths and sickness. The flood OF
newspaper dispatches to-day describ-
ing the recent operations throws no
light whatever upon the present posi-
ton of affairs or upon the great ques-
ton as to when the main advance is
to begin. The Standards announce
ment that Gen. French's cavalry are
returning to ~Bloemfontein is clear proof
that there is no further hope of catch
ing the ~retreating Beers, and the Lon
don papers are beginning to display
impatience at the practical failure OF
the elaborate operations of last week.
The Standard says:
ut is disheartening to find that
these elaborate manoeuyres have had
so small a result"
The Daily Chronicle remarks:
eve are reluctant to criticise Lord
Roberts, but it is impossible to shut
our eyes to the fact that, during the
last ten days, we have gained very lit
tie from our enormous display OF
force.'
Without doubt these operations have
been of a very exhausting nature and
will entail further delay. The Bloom
fontein correspondent of the Times,
writing on March Sd, after the Paarde-
berg affair, described Lord Roberts
army as a wreck" because it was
without horses and without transport.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Post speaks now of the urgent need at
present and always of more horses.
There is very little news from other
quarters.
The Daily Mail publishes a state
ment from Colonel Long, who was
blamed for the loss of the guns at Col
enso, that, in advancing the guns as
he did he merely obeyed orders. and
that the staff was quite ignorant of
the proximity of the Boer positions.
The sudden decision of the Boer
peace delegates to go to America is
attributed to the fact that the govern
ment of the Netherlands, after sound
ing all the European capitals, told
them they had nothing to hope from
Europe.
Colonel Dalgety's force at Wapener
numbered LOO. His losses during the
siege were thirty killed and one hun
dred and forty-nine wounded. 1t Is
reported that there was an artillery
engagement at Karee Siding, but no
details have been received.

TIE Brief FOR DECEHAM.'
Continaed From First Page.

and numerous Ohio cases are cited In
support Of this proposition.
In reference to the contention OF
Taylor's counsel that the determine
ton OF the contest by the board and
the General Assembly was the result
OF fraudulent conspiracy on the part
of the members of the Legislature it is
maintained that the journals of the
body showing it's action, cannot be
impeached for fraud and that they inn
port absolute verify.
Opinions of the Courts of Kentucky,
Indiana, Pennsylvania. Virginia and
Ohio are cited in support of this po-
sition. Counsel for Taylor, the brief
says, seek further to avoid the deter
mination of the General Assembly by
the contention that at the time the
contest was decided, on February 2,
1900, the Legislature had been adjourn
ed by proclamation of Taylor as Gov
ernor, until the sixth of February, to
meet at London in Laurel county. In
reply it is insisted that the only power
the Governor of Kentucky has, at any
time, to adjourn the General Assembly,
is by virtue of section 80 of the consti-
tuition, which provides that "in case of
disagreement between the two houses,
with respect to the time of adjourn
ment, he may adjourn them to such
time as he shall think proper, not ex-
ceeding four months"
This only authorizes an adjournment
when there is a disagreement as to the
time and not the place of adjournment.
There is no pretence that such a dis
agreement existed. Hence there was no
power to adjourn to any other place
at all.
The only authority that the Cover
nor has to change the place of hold
ing a session of the General Assembly
is contained in section So of the con-
stitution, which provides that lin case
of war, Instruction or pestilence," it
may, "by proclamation of the Cover
nor, assemble for the time being, else
where" but this it is insisted applies
only to a time when the General As
sembly is not in session. When in
session it is a sovereign body and can
take care of itself by adjourning when
and where it pleases.

The ring was somewhat disfigured in
yesterdays Republican district con-
vention in this county. Dawson and
other big ring men took a hand, but
still they could not control the situa-
ton, and as a result the delegates are
decidedly mixed, but La Toilette has a
strong showing. This is in accordance
with the prediction made In the Regis
ter a couple of days ago. AS to Gov
'ernor the delegation is not committed
to any candidate. but there is a
strong sentiment for silman for State
