ABANDoNs ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Representative Hepburn Opposes the
 Treaty With Great Britain

Washington February S.-Representative Hepburn, chairman of the house interstate and foreign commerce commission, which has charge of the Nicaraguan canal ap- propriation. opposes the canal treaty with Great Britain now pending in the senate.
 ''I think,'' he said today, ''that the terms of this treaty are unfortunate, and it ought not to be ratified by the senate. I don't know that Ithe pendency of the treaty will interfere with action by congress on the canal bill, but the ratification of the treaty would certainly impair rne value of the canal when constructed.
 ''Thds treaty re-affrms the principles of the Clayton Bulwer treaty; conceding all the claims and contentious of Great Brit ain, she has by her own action given us the right to at any time abrogate the ClaytonABulwer treaty. It surrenders every thing to Great Britain, abandoning our contention of years that we might ab- rogate the treaty at wil.
 Moreover, it recognizes the right of any foreign power to interfere and dictate with reference to our negotiations With the inde- pendent government of this continent. It abandons Monroe doctrine.'

 THE TRUST STATE Raised a WhirIwind of Applause by Expressing Sympathy
 for the Boers.

Burlington, N. J., February S-W. J. Bryan arrived here today and practically opened the campaign in southern New Jer- sey with a speech this afternoon.
 In honor of Colonel Bryan's visit most of the manufacturing and business places closed at noon. Every county in southern New Jersey was represented by large deie- gations
 ton committee met Colonel Bryan at Tren- ton and escorted him here. MT. Bryan was enthusiastically greeted by large crowd and brass band.
 Riggs hall, where MT Bryan spoke this afternoon, was damned with people long before he made his appearance on the plat form and many persons were unable to get admittance.
 MT. Bryan, speaking of trusts, said:
 'tThe people of New Jersey ought to know something of trusts because 1t Is the home of trusts. The republicans have made New Jersey the robbers roost. the cave of the forty thieves where they divide the swag after securing the country. The republi- can party says to the Jersey man that trusts are a good thing because of the money that flows into your state treasury. The people of New Jersey should show more morality and try to stop the crea- ton of trusts rather than the interest dis played in getting a percentage of the rake off,
 He closed with an extended discussion of the Philippine question, and raised whirl- wind of applause when, in referreing to the Boer war. said:
 'The English have not yet reached Lady, smith, and God grant that they never will'
 MT. Bryan left for Paterson at 3:45. He addressed an audience there tonight To- morrow night he will speak to a Grand Army post in Brooklyn, and from there he will go to Washington.

Calls on Kentuckians to See Justice Meted Out

Frank fort, Ky, February S.-Justus Goe- bel tonight issued the following open let ter:
 My friends, in closing these last sad rites. and before the mortal remains of the kindest, gentlest, most loving of brothers, be consigned to the final resting place, l want to, say last word.
 Your friend, my brother, lies dead be- fore you, murdered for his devotion to the causesof the people.
 "Shosild not kertucky now and here swear by his blood that her sons will see Justice done TO those concerned in his foul taking of? If you fail in this, then your laws are dead letters.
 If he could speak he would say, now as oft bef3-e. let the law take it's course. Will designing men of high station be permitted to use the ignorant to further their ambi- ton, and when that ambition Is disappoint- ed, turn red-ha nded murderer loose under the very roof of the executive mansion?
 Shall the guilty fin high places be un- covered? Shall the honor of your state be restored? Or shall his life blood, split on your capitol square be dried up by the sun, washed away by the rains and his life sacri- flee be forgotten?
 Measured by the highest standard of man., the grandest tribute possible to be paid him to whom you have been so loyal, is to fight for the principles for which he laid down his life as he fought for them"

London, February 9-The Daily Telegraph has received the following dispatch, dated Tuesday, February 6. from Spearsman's Camp:
 This is the second day of the battle, and the fighting has been fercer than it was yesterday. At dawn the Boers began the action by smelling our bivouac with their Long Tom" and pompon guns from Doorm Kloof. Their six-inch shells fell near the spot where General Butler and his staff were watching the engagement One shell burst amid squadron of the Thir- teenth Hussars, but not a soul was touched.
 "Our guns from Swartzkop and on the plain soon silenced the enemy's artillery, but repeatedly the Boers brought back their guns, propped them into work over the hills, fired a few rounds and then again changed their position.
 During the morning our gunners suc- ceeded in blowing up the enemy's ammuni- ton wagon upon Doorm Kloof. General Lyttleton's brigade was shot at from three sides and had a warm. time upon Vaal- krantz.
 Desperate efforts were made by the Boers to recover the smoking. hill. The Durham light infantry, the Kings Royal Rifles and the Scottish Rifles gaiantly charged and cleared the position. General Hildyard's brigade relieved General Lyttle- tons brigade toward sunset.
 "Fighting continued until o'clock. Sev- eral prisoners have been taken. They de- clare that the Boers yesterday lost heavily. The enemy suffered severely today It is reported that among sheir dead in the trenches armed Kaffirs were found"

Place I or Grave seIected

The grave to which Governor Goebel's re- mains may be consigned tomorrow and the point at which the monument ito his memory is to be erected was selected by his relatives and initiate friends yester- day.
 The grave is located about half way be- tween the Kentucky soldiers monument and the cemetery chapel, just over the slope of the hill north of the Confederates monument, and near an immense oak tree whose branches stretch far over the mound of earth, which will mark the dem ocratic leaders resting place.
 On a section of ground to the north of the grave were grouped the floral offerings tributes from all over the state to Governor Goo5efss memory.
 Around the freshly>,thrown up clay, and open grave were gathered throng of sev- eral thousand people, who waited patiently for hours in the midst of the downpour for the fnneral cortege to appear. For half an hour before tlae long procession reached the cemetery the rain came down in per feet deluge, and blown in sheets by fitful south wind, drenehed every one to the skin. But through it all they waited silent and reverent The addresses were listened to with profound attention
 Elder William Stanley, in an eloquent tribute to Governor Goebel, spoke bitterly or the assassination, speaking of the "onasrln and modification in the hearts of all that the leader of people. whose proud boast it was that they never feared to face foe or failed to defend a friend should fall at the hand of an assassin
 Blackburn tood on a Table
 Senator Joe Blackburn was compelled to stand on a table so that the throng might see him. As his stentorian voice rang out In his denunciation of the shooting of Gov ernor Goebel, and as he stated that .it was not the work of crank or a euazed as- sassin,' murmurs of mo-" no and that's right came from the closely pack ed crowd, while tears stood in the eyes of many of the grim faced men within hearing of his voice
 Governor Beckham was listened to with the closest attention, and with face flushed and his voice trembling with emotion he concluded with an appeal to the people of ithe statezto support him in his announced intention to carry out the policy of Cover ner Goebel, applause was heard for the first tiIne-

HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH Governor Taylor Has Taken No
 Action.
THE ELECTION LAW IN THE WAY
Regarding the Repeal of the Law Dem ocrats Say There Was No Men, ton of It in the
 Agreement

Frankfort Ky, February S.-Unless some action regarding the Louisville agreement is taken by Governor Taylor tomorrow or the next day, or some word sent ito them concerning his intentions, the democrats will proceed upon the hypothesis that he does not intend to take any action and will go ahead with the organization of their state government at Louisville.
 A conference was held dR1is evening in the Capitol hotel in which Governor Beck nam, Senator Blackburn, s. J. Shackleford and John Kehdirek were present The de- lay of Governor Taylor in declaring him. self regarding the Louisville agreement was discussed at length, and it was agreed by all present that in their opinion the democrats had waited long enough It was agreed at Louisville ahat the legislature should meet in the capitol building on Monday-and 1t is now so near that time that the democrats are beginning to think that Governor Taylor may take no action regarding it within the time limit set. One day more will be allowed for some intima- ton from Governor Taylor, and if it is not forthcoming another state government will be organized at Louisville.
 Governor Taylor announced tonight that he had taken no action regarding the agreement, and that there was no possi- ble chance of his doing so before tomorrow. He would not say whether he will take any action tomorrow or not. It is practi- cally certain that tine agreement will not be accepted by Governor Taylor as it stands. He desires that specific promises regarding the repeal of the Goebel law as a decision in the gubernatorial contest by a separate vote of the two houses This last the democrats say, they will never agree to.
 No Mention Made of Repeal
 Regarding the repeal of the law, they claim that no mention was made of a re- peal in the Louisville conference. The talk was entirely regarding the enactment of a new election law to be framed by selected men of both parties.
 This law would, in the nature of things repeal the Goebel law by the mere fact of its being later legislation upon the sub- ject.
 Governor Taylor holds the view at pres ent that Governor Goebel was never legally seated, and will demand a new vote on the matter before he will consent to abandon his seat under any circumstances.
 Not democratic member of tine house was in Frankfort to-day to attend the funeral, and tonight Governor Beclpham General Castleman and a few other demo- take matters in hand there The applica- tion for a permanent injunction, res training Governor Taylor from interfering with the sessions of the legislature in Frankfort and from c0nvenng it at London, was not heard to-day at Georgetown, as originally intended. The matter went over untu to- morrow.

THE BOER TRENG H
All Messages Refer to the Strong Posi-
 tions of the Enemy

London. February g, 4 a. m.-All the mes- sages from the observers with General Bull Ter throw in a phrase or two about "the strength of the Boer positions and "fthe difficulties of General Buffers work but they do not carry events beyond Tuesday evening
 Their last slender narratives leave the British advance on Vaalkrantz. fin the cen- ter of a semi-crcle, where the troops are exposed to the Boer artillery on both sides. and in the center.
 The fighting continued until o'clock Tuesday evening and almost without doubt continued Wednesday, as the Boers would certainly not leave this wedge into their lines unmolested. It is also inferred that General Butler must either continue his advance or retire.
 The heaviest fighting appears to have been on Tuesday.
 General Buffers 233 casualties are men, toned as having occurred before noon Tuesday Large lists are consequently ex- pected for the rest of the day.
 The Ca,u titles
 The casualties already reported bring the total British losses during the war to 102A killed, wounded and captured.
 The disposition here Us rather to min.nl- .ze the importance of tine fighting in Ma tad, and to suggest that uhis is only iEciderit anyway. placing nope upon ex- pected decisive engagements in northern Cape Colony and upon the invasion of the Free State by Lord Roberts. At all events, this Is the official view. The public does net like these new waits, and there is sharp anxiety for further news.
 In Cape Colony General Macdonald has had skirnlsll with a thousand Boers at Kcodooborg. Trlis was on Monday The Boers have been taking the offensive against General French near Rensioerg, as well as against General Gatacre in .ile Stormberg hills.
