WAS GROSS UsURpAT1oN.
Taylor Had No Right to Declare Leg
.isIature Adjourned

.islature Adjourned
Frankfort, KY, Feb. AT a con-
ference of Ex-Governor McCrearys
Judge W. s. Pryor, Louis McQuown and
other prominent attorneys, the question
of Mr. Taylor's legal right to adjourn
the legislature to meet in London was
formally discussed. The unanimous
opinion of the attorneys was an
nounced by McCreary, who said:
There is nothing in the constitution
of Kentucky to authorize the governor
at this hour and under existing cir
cumstances to adjourn the general as
sembly. And every lawyer that l have
heard express an opinion, regards his
proclamation as a gross usurpation.
The constitution Of Kentucky fixes the
date for the regular sessions Of the
general assembly and says:
." It's sessions shall be held at the
seat Of government except in case Of
war, instruction or pestiience, when
it may, by proclamation of the gov
ernOr assemble for the time being else
where.
The general assembly is now in ses-
sion and under the constitution can
remain in session sixty days Being IN
regular session the governor does not
have to convene the senators and rep
resentatiyes and fix the places Of their
meeting and there is no war, tnsurrec-
ton or pestilence. In case Of dis
agreement between the two houses
with regard to Adjournment, the gov
ernor may adjourn them for not ex-
ceeding four months, but there must
be a disagreement between the two
houses, and the power to convene the
general assembly is not the power 10

HOUSE OF COMMONS
Irish Member Asks Pointed Questions
 About the War

London, April 3o.-The house of commons adopted today by 115 votes to 40 a vote of f,93o, 900 for the completion of the Uganda railroad Upwards of f3,OOO0OO has already been expended on this line.
 John Gordon Swift MacNeill, Irish na- tionalist member for South Donegal, re- sumed the interrogation of the parliament tary secretary of the war office, MT. Wynd- ham, in regard to the South African war; but got little satisfaction. Speaker Gully finally called MT MacNeill to order for de- manding to know whether the operations at Gagersfontein were exempt from criti- cism by the commander -in-chief of the British forces in South Africa because Lord Methuen was "a society peer and a court favorite."
 MT. Wyndham said that the war office had not communicated with General Bull Ter in connection with the Spion Kop dis patch, but that communications had pass ed between Lord Roberts and General Bull Ter in reference to the publication of the dispatches in question. The government leader, MT. Balfour, subsequently an- nounced that with view to clearing up misconceptions which had gathered round the publication of the dispatches" he would place the salary of the secretary of state for war among the votes to be taken Fri day and thus enable a debate to be had on the subject,
