EXCITING SCENE AT
 LEXINGTON STATION
Lieutenant Resisted Officers, Hut Was Over powered Each Prisoner Had Pardon
 Duly Signed by Taylor.

Lexington, ky. March 10.-On the arrival of the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Frankfort at $40 tonight Secretary of State Powers and Capitol Policeman Davis and Lieutenant Peak were arrested by the Lex ington police and the sheriff and deputies. There was large force of officers awaiting them here. Powers and Davis still wore the uniforms of soldiers and Davis had on false whiskers. There was wild scene when the officers broke into the car, and revolvers were drawn by all, but the small squad of soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the police force of this city and the large force of deputies with the sheriff, and the ar rest was effected without difficulty.
 On entering the coach the officers found

SPENCER WILKINSON
Says Butler Will Engage Force in
 Natal.

London. March 10.-Spencer Wilkinson summarized the situation in South Africa for the Associated Press at midnight as fol- iows
 "The fighting reported near Hefpmakaar Is probably only the result of a reconnois- sance, and it seems to me to be premature 10 assume that any movement in large force Is in progress in that direction.
 General Butler as soon as communica- tions are in order will certainly do what he can do ito keep the Boer force in Natal en- gagged and to prevent them all from being used to reinforce the army resisting Lord Roberts. I expect Lord Roberts to strike Bloemfontein in day or two. As to Mafe- king, If it is not relieved very soon the place must fall. One, therefores hopes a brigade was sent up from Kimberley for it's relief with a day or two of the evacuation of Magersfonten by the Boers. There has been time for such a column to reach Mafe- king by road, but there is no direct evidence of it's existence and the wish is father to the thought" :"

EULER ON THE MOVE
With 12,OoO Men He is Threatening
 Boer Positions


 London, March 1o.-The following dis patch has been received from the Boer camp at Biggarsberg, dated Thursday, March 8, saying:
 Twelve thousand British are threaten. ing the Boer positions from the direction of Jdelpmakaar, while a party of British scouts was encountered at Wascbbank, March S..
 This force was probably General Hun- ter's division, and it is considered quite possible that attempt may be made to traverse the neck of Zululand into the Transvaal, thus effectng the double pur- pose of outfianlxing the Boers at Biggars- berg and threatening Vryheid and Utrecht
 The Boers are reported to be at Biggars- berg in considerable numbers, but it is said they are already sending their stores to the rear. |
 General Joubert appears to have left ac- tive service to take charge of the war of- flee at Pretoria. Lorenzo Marques stories attribute his action partly to the alleged fact that he has lost both control over and confidence in the burglhers, and partly to his wish to push the preparation for the siege which is supposed to be under way at the capital.
 Lord Roberts has not reported up to this hour today, but the military authorities are of the opinion that General French must be nearing Bloemfonten.
 In some quarters General French is cred- iteo with the design to corral both presi- dents, whcse exact whereabouts, however. are difficult ito ascertain at this distance.
 The war office is unable to confirm the rumors of the relief of Mafeking, but the Service clubs trend of belief is that fl will be perfected in few days. Possibly this belief is the outcome of the recent rev. elations indicating that if the relief column is to accomplish anything it must arrive without delay.

 Sheriff Sutter made another attempt to get an audience with Governor Taylor this evening. but was unsuccessful. The streets were fairly blocked with people in the vi- cinity of the state house, but there was no open demonstration though 1t was evident that the populace was on the side of the civil authorities.
 At o'clock, Sheriff Sutter having failed to get any sort of understanding with the military authorities as to the arrest of the parties submitted the question to Demo- cratic Governor Beckham to decide to what extent the civil officers should go to gain admittance to the building for the purpose of making the arrests.
 Beckham Will Not Answer
 It is said late tonight that Democratic Governor Beckham will not give an answer to Sheriff Suffers request for instructions till next week, and since the escape of Powers and Davis he may decide that the changed condition of affairs does not neces- sitate the giving of instructions on his part. The Triplett resolution authorizing the ex- penditure of $100000 in arming and equipe ping a state guard under Governor Beck ham and Adjutant General Castleman will come up in the house Tuesday, and it Is said that early this evening Governor Beck ham determined to wait till after the pas sage of the measure when If men wanted by civil officers were still barricaded in the state house. he would call on Adjutant General Castleman and authorize him to muster in enough men to take the prison ers Since the escape of Powers and Davis, however, the conditions have changed and what will be done now depends altogether as to their future movements
 The events of today served to show very tn1rat hn ctat tn crI1Q r6 QH organized, does not unanimously recognize Taylor as governor. Lieutenant Sparks re- fused to muster in the London company to- day in response Ito a telegram from Govern- or Taylor, ordering him to bring the com pany here, and the Lexington companies also refused. Major Robert Kennedy, Of one of the Lexington companies, came here tonight, and personally rendered to Govern or Beckham the services of the Third bat talon of the Second regiment. He also stated that fifty men are tonight guarding the company's armory and will recognize only Becl1ham as governor.

AN EXCITING DAY
Kentuckians Again Stirred Almost to e---=> ---. --- the Fighting Foint

Frankfort, Ky, March 10.-The situation here reached point of excitement today almost approaching that of the stirring times after the assassination of Governor Goebel.
 The reinstatement of the mil. y, i,owef In complete control of the state executive building and the refusal of the military authorities 10 allow the local police and civil officers to enter the building for the purpose of arresting Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Captain John w. Davis, charged with being accessories to the Goe- bel assassination and the probability of a conflict between G'he civil and military au- thorites, made the situation look serious during most of the day This morning City Marshal Richardson applied at the execu- tive building and demanded to be admitted for the purpose of arresting Powers and Davis, but was turned back, and the war rents were then turned over to Sheriff Sut- ter. The latter also presented himself at the executive building and demanded ad- mttance. He was referred by the officer in charge to Colonel Morrow, and the lat ter being found, said:
 T am sorry, MT. Sheriff, but it is against MT. Taylor's orders to let any one in the building today"
 Sheriff Sutter then held a consultation with County Attorney Polsgrove, Common wealth's Attorney Franklin and other of- ficials. Meantime the police force had been doubled. and detail of police guarded each of the entrances to the state house grounds to prevent the men wanted from escaping if they should attempt to do so.

An Insanity.

An old man sat on the chilly curb
And gibbered in gentle glee,
And it seemed quite sinister to disturb
SO gentle man he;
But stern policeman came along
And his eye on him he kept
Till he caught the words OF his plaintive
song;
Then he cast down his eyes and wept.
ooh. where is the heat In the heated car
l have waited so long to feel?
Oh, where is the seat In the seated car
Where I've stood with a weary heel?
There is sometimes a seat in the heatless
car
Where l might rest and freeze,
And sometimes heat in the seatless car
Where ] stand with trembling knees
And still he prattled of heatless feet
And his smile was sad to see:
"They surely accomplish a seatless feat
In making folks stand" quoth he.
And the motormen looked with calm dis
dain
As they scurried along SO gay,
And the big policeman wept again,
While he babbled the hours away.

The Situation in China.

China's acceptance of the terms imposed
by the powers encourages hope of a speedy
settlement of existing difficulties but the
path is not altogether clear The terms
are considered harsh, and although they
have been accepted We may expect efforts
to be made to soften them as the confer
ences proceed. All such efforts, however
should fail. and settlement insisted upon
as closely possible in line with the agree
ment that has been reached by the powers.
Safeguarding the future is the paramount
consideration. China cannot withdraw from
communication with the civilized nations.
Her doors must remain open to them. and,
of course. upon terms which will insure
their citizens and official representatives
within her borders security for life and
property. This explains the demand for
legation guards at Pekin. and for the raz-
ing of the forts at Taku. An unobstructed
passage to the sea from Pekin is essential
to the personal comfort of those who will
reside at the Chinese capital in discharge
of the official business of foreign powers.
If such terms are harsh. China has herself
to blame for them. She has made them
necessary by a fragrant violation of ali
treaty rights and the rights Of hospitality.
She has pointed the way to the only means
well for her guests. She has shown
that in very large measure she needs to
be protected against herself.
These terms do not degrade China. They
offer her no affront. They put her upon no
new basis in her dealings with other pow
ers. Despite her ancient organization and
what she calls her ancient civilization. she
has never held rank as IA civilized power
among the powers whose claims to such
designation of practically worldwide
recognition. For an instance. this govern
ment has never permit ted one of its citizens
to be tried by the Chinese authorities for
a crime committed on Chinese soil: and for
the reason that the Chinese legal pro-
cedure not approved of as being fash
toned after civilized models. Extra terri
torial rights have always been demanded
and granted, and will continue to be. So
that in saying to China that they will take
their own means of protecting their own
people within her gates by extra precau-
ticns made necessary by this recent ex-
hibiton of their necessity, the civilized ma
tons sound neither a new nor harsh
note. China had every reason to expect 1t,
having provoked it, and she should accom-
MEDIATE herself to it's meaning with good
a grace as possible.

No Punishment for kidnapers.

From The Springfield Republican.
The criminal code of Nebraska does not
recognize kidnapping as crime, and there
is some doubt as to what charge can be
placed against the men who stole the Cuda-
ny boy, in case they are caught. that will
insure adequate punishment. The probable
charge will be that of stealing $4,000. the
ransom money, for which the maximum
peEalty is seven years Taking warning
from Nebraska, Illinois does not propose to
he caught with a deficient code. and the
general assembly will be asked in January
to make kidnapping for ransom punishable
by death This is. of course, extreme. The
resent law In Illinois prescribes a penalty
of five years Imprisonment. or fine Of
81 900, or both, except in case of children
under twelve years of age, when life inn
prisonment may be the penalty.
