Armed Conflict Avoided.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. Alarmed con-

there is small likelihood that the political
situation will agin become as threatening

Latest war Bulletin..

LONDON, Feb. 4--I'he War Office has
received the following from Lord Roberts,
dated Cape Town, Feb. 4: ''Mafeking, well
on Jan. IL. Trenches extended towards
enemy's big gun battery, causing IL to be
vacated. Enemy now pushing back on
northern. southern and western sides, we'll
out of rifle fire. Otherwise no change in
situation
SPEARMAN'S CAMP, Saturday, Feb. 3.
--9:35 p. m.-The Beers fired from the hills
on several squadrons of Bethuen's mounted
Infantry, who were accommodating. They
continue to set fire to the grass on the
left of Mount Alice in order to destroy
the cover of British troops and to enable
the Beers to see the advance
RENSBURG, Saturday, Feb. 3.-The
New Zealanders, Remingtons guides and a
squadron of Life Guards made a sweep of
several miles along the hills adjacent to
the British right flank. One kopje occupied
by Beers was rushed, the Beers clearing
out after a slack resistance. One New
Zealander was wounded. Small parties in
the distance retreated whenever the Brit
ish horse appeared.

A. wilkinson sees IL.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Spencer Wilkinson, in
the Morning Post to-day, predicts that the
war will end rightly in spite of all bung-
ling. He says: when Lord Roberts is
ready for the advance a new complexion
will be put on the campaign. There will b.
strategical idea, and as this idea gradu-
ally reveals itself, what seemed an mex
tricable tangle of difficulties will in time
present itself as a comparatively simple
problem" Then at great length Mr. WIKI
inson proceeds to criticise three great
blunders of policy, strategy and tactics TO
which all the disasters are directly attrib-
utable.''
He says: 1.-THE first mistake consisted in
not making the war preparations adequate
to the policy to be pursued and in send
ing Sir George White to Ladysmith with
an army too small to hold Natal. The sec
ond was the mistake in dispensing instead
of concentrating General Buffers forces.
The third consisted of the attempts TO
force prepared positions like Colenso.
Something else is due to the imperfec.
peace training, which has allowed army
maneuvers in which crowds of men have
fired at similar crowds with blank cart
ridges in the open at 300 yards distance.
Those mistakes, instead of being re-
peated, will be valuable lessons for the
future"
Winston Churchill, in n dispatch from
Spearmans Camp. dated Saturday. Feb. 3,
says: 'The belief is general that all will
be staked on the issue of the coming bat
tle 1t is probable that no press kilograms
will be permitted to leave pending the
operations.
The fighting power, morale ani mater
ial of the army was never higher than IL
is now."

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 4.-Governor
Taylor will undoubtedly change his plans
tomorrow. and there will be no clash be-
tween the militia and the State judiciary.
Judge CantrelI's order enjoining the Gov
ernor from preventing the Legislature as
sembling in the Statehouse at Frankfort
will be obeyed. so far as the militia is con-
cerned, but 1t is probable the Republic
ans will meet at London.
The way tonight seems clear toward a
peaceful settlement of the question. The
Republicans are against any acts of vio-
lence or revolution, but claim that Taylor
is still both de jure and de facto Governor,
and that all his acts are legal. The plan
favored tonight is to induce the Demo-
Gratis to take up the gubernatorial contest
where II was before the Legislature ille-
galIy unseated Taylor, and hear the case
again, arguments being heard on both
sides by the Legislature, both sides to ac-
cept the decision Of the Legislature. II

Republicans to make a red-hot campaign

vember. A special election must then be
held, according TO law. ana a new Governor
chosen. Included in the peace plan is a
move to repeal the Goebel election law and
return to the old Australian system of
voting. AS the presidential election will
be held in November, the Republicans feel
confident they could elect their nominee.
Mentioned in connection with this plan is
the name of Ex-Governor Bradley as the
Republican candidate for Governor.
This plan was discussed by Republican
leaders tonight. and is much favored as
a peaceful solution Of the complex problem
that now confronts the State and which
may terminate in civil war. 1t Is believed
the Republicans would stand a fighting
chance 20 seat Taylor II the case Is re-
opened by the Legislature. as six men,
bers, now that Mr. Goebel is dead, it is
believed. would desert the Goebel end of
the fight and insist on square. honest
trial of the case on It's merits.
Nothing has been heard from the federal
authorities to-day. and Governor Taylor
has abandoned all hope OF interference
from that direction.
Whatever changes have been made in
the plans have been made here. They have
not emanated from Washington. Senator
Deboe has not wired to Governor Taylor
TO quit. or anything like that, as has been
published. What Deboe did say was that
he could see reason for preventing a
meeting of the Democratic members in the
Statehouse.
No checks drawn by the State authori-
ties have been refused by the Frankfort
banks, nor will be.

LOUISVILLE. KY. Feb. 4.-This city is
to be the seat, temporarily. at least. of the
Democratic State government. Democratic
Governor Beckham and several of his chief
advisors reached here this morning. To-
morrow the Democratic members of the
Legislature will meet here, and 1T is pur-
posed to make Louisville the headquarters
of the executive and legislative branches of
this State government as long as the pres
ence of troops keeps them from Frank
fort or until the present conflict of au-
thority In the State is settled. The de-
tails of this plan were decided upon at
conferences held by the Democratic lead
ers at Seelbachs Hotel during the after
noon and evening. Mr.. Beckham quietly
slipped into town early this morning. He
was accompanied by Speaker Trimble, of
the House of Representatives; Col. Ben
nett III. Young. of Louisville, who is one
of the chief legal advisors of the Demo-
Gratis, and other leaders who have been at
Frankfort conducting the partys affairs
since Mr.. Goebel was wounded last Tues
day. General Castleman, the newly ap-
pointed adjutant general, and local lead
ers of prominence came in during the day
as well as a number of Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature. Newspaper men
were carefully excluded from these coun-
ellis, and every effort was made TO keep
the deliberations secret. The plan to have
the Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture TO meet here had already been well
matured. Preliminary steps in this di-
rection had been taken at the meetings Of
those members held In the Capital Hotel
at Frankfort since the State buildings have
been surrounded by soldiers. The Demo-
cratic legislators there adopted concur
rent resolution for adjournment to Louis
