KENTUCKY SITUATION CRITICAL.
RESOLVED NOT TO LET
GOEBEL SEIZE THE STATE
GOVERNMENT

Lexington. Ky. Jan. Q (Spacial).-The despera-
ton with which the Goebelites are striving to
throw the Republicans out Of the State offices
has aroused political factional feeling 10 the
highest tension. while the State militia is being
massed at Frankfort in order to he ready wher
the occasion arises to put the State under mar
tial law. Governor Taylor and his friends to-
day talked without hesitation on this matter
With one accord they say they will not be
thrown out by GoebeL and his followers.
Cabel Powers, Secretary of State declared him
self more forcibly than most OF the others. He
said:
We will not relinqush our offices TO these
usurpers. You can let the world know that
We hear they intend to set up a separate State
government. If they do will enjoin them
through the United States Supreme Court
against exercising the functions of office. We
have been elected by the people TO the offices
we hold. and we intend to keep them at all
hazards
Thirty members OF the Lexington Company
State Guards, went to Frankfort this morning
and tomorrow morning hundred more will
go down They were awaiting orders at the
station at two different times to-day, but the
orders from Frankfort did not come. The mem
bers of the militia throughout the State are vol
unteering. The Governor cannot call the SOL
diers out until trouble actually occurs. but the
men are being assembled in citizens clothes. so
that they will be hand when trouble starts.
One hundred guns were sent to-day. and It is
probable that the mems uniforms will be sent
tomorrow, since many Of the men are protest
ing against taking up arms without their uni
forms, Scores of determined men go to Frank
fort daily from various towns. and 1t is predict
ed by the most conservative that the troubles to
the State caused by the ambitions of William
Goebel have only just begun.

DEMAND FOR MORE TROOPS.

REPORT THAT A NEW LEADER IN SOUTH
AFRICA MAY BE ANNOUNCED
London. Jan 10. 4:30 a. m.-The War Office
has not contributed the least particular to
what is taking place in Natal since Sunday.
Neither has it allowed the dispatches Of
correspondents to get through. Consequently
the facts Of the situation are replaced by con-
lectures, and the impatience Of the public pours
itself into a discussion OF the conduct Of the
and of what might have been done or ought
now to be done.
1.-The Morning Post" demands that the forces
afeld. a1oat and in preparation shall be in
creased by sixty-fve thousand men. To this
end 1t urges that all the trained men the country
possesses, militia and volunteers, shall be called
out asserting incidentally that, although the at
titude of other Powers is correct in the diplo-
matte sense Of the word. invasion If at
tempted would be sudden, and that now is the
time to apprehend contingencies.
1.-The Daily Times editorially defines the pub
lie opinion of the Continent "in a state which
should not be ignored" 1t calls for greater
vigilance than ever on the part Of those re-
sponsible for the efficiency of the navy" and
urges cautious circumspect and businesslike
diplomacy"
THE Daily Mail" says: 1t understands that
the supersession of another general command

the lack of transports for the troops who are

man law bearing upon them. The Foreign
Office is not merely replying to inquiries of two
friendly governments. whose neutral rights have
been challenged by British cruisers. but is for
mulating a policy which must be adjusted TO
the decisions of the English courts in the past
and to English commercial interests in the fut-
ure. The question raised by the seizure of
American flour is less serious than the inter
ruption of commerce under the German flag be-
tween neutral ports. The British Government
has never before condemned a vessel for carry
ing contraband between two neutral ports, and
the best precedent which It can find for the
seizure of the Bundesrath is the capture of the
Peterhof by Union cruiser in the Civil War
with contraband destined for the Southern Con-
federacy by way of the neutral port of Mata-
This American precedent justifes the British
seizure Of contraband before it reaches Della
goa Bay but the British courts themselves are
on record against the principle of q continuous
voyage to Interior destination through neu-
trail territory and the consequent liability of
contraband to seizure, as In the Bermuda and
Springbok cases.
FOLLOWING AMERICAN PRECEDENT.
British practice has been based upon the
Imina and the William cases. and precIudes the
capture Of contraband until 1t has left the final
neutral port where it has been received for
uanssnlpment. strangely enough the British
Government order justfying the seizure of con-
traband the Bundesrath must reverse the
decisions of the courts and adopt American
precedent in the Peterhof case which was
sharply criticised a violation Of the laws of
neutral commerce nearly forty years ago. The
American grievance, based upon the capture of
the cargoes Of flour under the British fag can
be easily redressed by separating the goods
from the ship. The Queens subjects who owned
the ship could not trade with an enemy with
out violating the royal proclamation.
Cargoes of flour when warehoused at Durham
can be dealt with apart from the flag under
which they carried and there is no di-
rect evidence connecting them with the Boer
army. they will probably be paid for with due
damages for detention without formal recogni-
ton of the dangerous doctrine that foodstuffs
consigned to neutral port contraband of
war. I N F.

 Somers Won the
 Steeplechase.
ONDURIS RUN BAD RACE

New York, October 17.-Three consolida- ton events and three fair races made up the card at Morris Park today.
 The Castleton, a selling stake for 2-year- olds, was the only fixture decided, and that event went to Templeton, who. won the Silverbrook yesterday, she at the lucra tive odds of 2 to l, Onduris and Ashes being heavily played. Onduris was backed from to to to 5, but ran a disappointing race. Candle and Ashes made the running, but Mitchell kept Templeton well up, and, com ing away in the last furlong, won, ridden out, by half length. Ashes took the place a length from Candle.
 A steeplechase for non-winners this year was first on the card Somers at the good odds of 20 to 1, out jumped and out lasted the field, and won, ridden out, by ten lengths from Zanzibar. Mazo, the favorite, was promenent in the last two jumps, and then tired. Midsummer beat big field of twenty on starters in the second race, and Garry Hermann won the fourth easily from Rolling Boer, who, in turn, beat Dr.. Barlow head for the place. The winner was the only favorite of the day to score.
 West Baden graduated from the maiden class in the fifth race, beating Support a head at the post. The latter ran a good race after being almost left at the post to a struggling start.
 The last race, at one mile and a half, went to the second choice, Belgrade. Maid of Harlem, the favorite, and Mcleod of Dare made the running for mile and @ quarter, with Adronicus we'll up. Little Miles ra ted Belgrade along in last place to the head of the stretch, when he brought his mount up with rush and won cleverly by length and a half from the outsider Locochee. Weather clear and cool; track slow. Summary:

New England Cotton Mill Men in Ses-

Washington, October 17.-The semi-an- nual meeting of the New England Cotton Manufacturers Association, which began here last night, will continue Thursday. About 15O members of the association, in- cluding many ladies, were present at ths opening session.
 A paper was read by Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright, who had for his subject 'The Factory as an Element in SootN Life," and President D. M. Thompson de> livered his formal address.
 Commissioner Wright in his paper as. serted that factory hfe rather than being degrading influence was an uplifting one, He said that it had taken the New England and English farming hands, the Irish immt- grat, the French Canadian and the Swede successively and had lifted each class up to a higher standard of living, the opera tive in each case leaving the factory for something better. In the South it was doing the same thing for the poor whites.
 President Thompson's address closed the business of the first session of the Asso- ciation.

The man who goes on to the board of trade at 10 o'clock in the morning and makes more before noon betting on the price of what the farmer raises than the farmer can make raising it. Is the laboring man business man2 No. He simply converts raw material into finished product. But he is not a business man. Who is? The man who trades in what this producer produces. I believe that every man who, by his mus cle or his brain, adds to the greatness, the wealth or glory of this nation, Is business man and I believe election day is the most important business day of the year."

He ased as a personal favor that the matters he had in hand be consid- cred. He had read resolution requiring the Birmingham Belt Railroad Company to remove the track from Thirteenth street and Eight avenue that had recently been put in. It was stated that the Belt Road put in this track, which, it is stated, does not connect with any part of the line, to avoid the expense of costly crossing when the Birmingham Southern Railroad builds across the street at that place. The reso- lution was adopted.
