BY force II Warden Lillard persisted
In his refusal to release Hayes. No
such talk. however, came from the Of
ncs Of Governor Taylor or that Of
Adjutant General Collier. This talk
was naturally resented BY the Demo-
srata and Lillard received open offers
Of aid In case he should decide to en-
gage in battle with the soldiers.
It IL now definitely decided that
General John B. Castleman. Of Louis
vile. IL not to be adjutant general for
Governor Goebel, and while 1t was as
serted Wednesday night with great
positiveness that he had been appoint
ed, It is now said that he never was
rendered the place. No man has been
appointed a. yet, but the name of Colo
mel T. J. Smith, of the Third Kentucky
infantry, is prominently mentioned.
No attention whatever has been paid
by the militia to Governor Goebel's
orders to return to their homes. It is
just as though the order had never
been issued. Adjutant General COL
lier says that no consideration will be
given to any orders that may emanate
from the Goebel headquarters.
Yesterday afternoon Speaker Trim
BILE issued printed notices for meet
Ing OF the legislature at s o'clock. The
members marched to the house in
double file, and over 900 citizens form
ed in line behind them. At the gate
each one in the crowd, including the
citizens, declared himself member Of
the legislature, and all passed on to
the capitol building. At the top Of
the steps, however. they were halted
by the military and denied admission.
Speaker Trimble then declared the leg
islature adjourned, subject to his call.
There was no sign Of disturbance
throughout the incident. everything
being conducted In an orderly and dig
nitied manner by the legislators. The
impromptu members were not so mind
full of the dignity Of their high calling
and were inclined to make facetious
remarks at the soldiers. There Is very
little heard now about London, and
there seems to be q general feeling
among the Democrats and Republicans
alike that the next regular meeting Of
the legislature will be held in the
capitol building. It seems to have be-
come tacit belief that Governor Tay-
lor Will rescind his action of Wednes-
day before the time set for meeting at
London.
Mr.. Goebe1 passed an unfavorable
day yesterday, although he was fairly
comfortable when night came on. Re-
ports of his condition vary according
to the last physician who leaves the
room. One doctor is confident that he
will recover and another generally al
lows him an hour or two before he
breathes his last. The doctors as a
whole entertain no hopes Of his re-
covery.
Governor Taylor yesterday sent
communication to President Mckinley
which is in it's nature memorial.
There is reason to believe that a
specific request for the immediate
presence Of federal troops is not made.
No action of any kind has been taken
on the memorial and 1t can be posi-
lively stated that up to midnight no
decision whatever with reference to 1t
had been reached by the president.
The president will go very slow in the
matter, in the hope that events in the
state itself will SO shape themselves as
to relieve the administration of the
necessity of any action.
