THE SHOOTING OF GoEBEL.
Bullet Was Fired From a Window of the
Capitol Building.

Bullet Was Fired From Window of the
Capitol Building.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. Ex-senator
William Goebel was shot and very Sc.
riously injured at 11:1O a. M, while
passing through the state house yard on
his way to the capitol building.
The shots were fired from rifle, only
one Of them taking effect. 1t struck
Mr.. Goebel in the right side, one-third
of the distance down from the armpit to
the hip. The ball passed entirely
through the body, coming out below the
right shoulder blade. 1t is thought by
the physicians i'll charge that the wound
will not prove fatal unless complications
set in. Harland Whitaker, a farmer
from Butler county, is under arrest
charged with having fired the shots, but
he denies that he had anything to do
with it. Three revolvers were found
upon him when he was taken into Gus
tody.
Mr.. Goebel, i'll company with Colonel
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lillard Of
the Frankfort penitentiary, was walk
ing up the sidewalk leading from the
street to the capitol building, Goebel
being Oh the right of the three. When
the three men were two-thirds of the
distance from the street to the capitol a
shot was fired from the third story Of
the building, occupied by the offices of
the governor, secretary of state and
other leadiug officials of the state. The
ball struck Mr.. Goebel in the side and
he instantly dropped to the pavement.
Chinn and Lillard instantly seized him,
Chinn saying as he did so:
II guess they have got you, Goebel."
EYES," replied the wounded man, 81
guess they have got me for sure"
Republicans Denounce the Crime.
The Republican state officials and
members Of the legislature, without ex-
ception, denounced the shooting in the
most unmeasured terms. Governor
Taylor Immediately caused small adj
dress to be published in which he de.
clared the affair to be a disgrace and an
outrage and calling for the most sober
condemnation. He sent orders at once
to Adjutant General Collier, directing
him to take steps for the preservation of
order.
Twenty minutes after the shooting
the local militia company were OH guard
at the capitol and orders had been is
sued to outside companies throughout
the state to make ready at once to come
to Frankfort, the entire state guard be-
ing called into service. 1t was feared
that the news of the shooting would so
inf1ame the Democrats that they would
come to Frankfort in swarms, while the
mountaineers would lose no time in
coming to the capital for the purpose Of
upholding their party principles.
Few people believe that Whitaker is
guilty of the crime, but the fact that he
was hastily leaving the building from
which the shooting was done was
enought to make trouble for him.

MUCH CRITICISED
SPEECHES OF THE BRITISH MINIS
TIERS UNSATISFACTORY.

Not One of the Leaders at the Opening of
Parliament Had Word of Enlighten-
ment to Offer Regarding the Past OF Fu-
ture-Opposition Bitterly Critical but
Have No Alternative Policy to Expound.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-The London press
Is unanimous in criticism of the weak
defense Of the ministers to the bitter at
tacks of the opposition in both houses
Of parliament. Not one of the speakers
is considered to have risen to height
befitting the gravity of the situation.
While Lord Salisbury professed ignor-
ance regarding the Boer strength and
ornaments Mr.. Balfour and Lord Lands
downe declared that these were accu-
rately known. Not one of the minis
ters had word of enlightenment to Of
fer regarding either the past or the fu-
ture and the leaders of the opposition,
while perfectly ready to attack and crit
icize the government, had no suggestion
to advance matters in South Africa nor
an alternative policy to expound.
Mr.. Chamberlain preserved discreet
silence, though throughout the speeches
of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and
Mr.. Balfour he
Displayed Unusual Excitement,
embarrassing both by frequent COM
ments. He kept turning towards Mr..
Balfour during Sir Henry's speech with
suggestions for argument to which Mr..
Balfour did not seem to respond with
much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Balfour's speech was repetition
of his rather flippant orations outside
the house. Lord Salisbury was pale and
looked careworn, showing traces of his
recent bereavement Lord Lansdowne
seemed much depressed.
Lord Rosebery's speech was the only
one which made strong impression
and it is interpreted in many quarters to
indicate readiness in the event of a
change of ministry to assume the bur-
dens Of the premiership. His remarks
We're uttered with great force and
earnestness. He demanded of the gov
ernment what it was going to do and
added that the country would shrink
from no sacrifice which the burning
emergency might demand.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Republi-

of the house have laid down definite
lines upon which the Republican lead
ers of the house have decided to legis-'

decided the antitrust act of the Illinois

that the statute contains both class and
special legislation, and is in contraven-

more directly on the ninth clause of the
act of 1898, but the validity of the
