tives the other. The caucus occupied but
a short time.

death of Gov. Goebel Senator Jolly was
nominated president pro tenn, and his son
Edmund was nominated for page. The

5Goebel,s death were appointed: Represen-
tatives Bethuram, Jarnigan, Barkamp,
Read and Haswell. No other action was
taken and the caucus adjourned
Chairman Slack, of the house caucus,
announced another caucus for tomorrow
night at o'clock.
I'VE took it for granted in our caucus
tonight" said Chairman Slack, that the
others will be here tomorrow, and con-
sequently we did not nominate officers.
We did not discuss the powers Of the
assembly. In fact there was absolutely
no discussion of any nature whatever.
Senator Hayes, anti-Goebel Democrat,
did not attend the caucus.
The following resolutions of respect will
be submitted by both houses at the open
Ing session Of the legislature tomorrow:
!. Whereas, Senator William Goebel, an
honored member of the senate of Ken
lucky, died on the Sd day of February,
1860, his death being caused by assassina-
tion; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the senate of Kentucky,
That we deprecate and deplore the seri-
Gus crime which caused his death, be-
neving that assassination is an utterly
indefensible and cowardly and hefnous
offense against the laws of God and man.
That in honor Of our late colleague, the
senate shall stand adjourned until Thurs
day, Feb. 8, 1900.
The members who are in London to-
night are:

man, Hayes. Huff, Barrett, Dye and Cox;

lett, four anti-Goebel Democrats.
Representative Slack received a tele-
gram that Representatives Wilson and
Kirk, Republicans, and five Others. names
not stated, will also arrive on the morn
ing train.
AS far as can be learned the two houses
will adjourn soon after convening to-
morrow, until Thursday.
NO ANIMOSITY.
There was no display of animosity
among the citizens of London when 1t
became a certainty today that the legis-
lature was to convene here. There Is
but Democratic member here, Senator
Hayes, from Jefferson county, and he
is of the anti-Goebel following. Altogeth-
er twenty-seven representatives and nine
senators have arrived There is enc more
train to arrive before noon tomorrow,
and possibly the number may be increas-
ed before the time for conven1ng.
When the citizens learned this after
noon that no Democratic members were
aboard the train, disappointment was
freely expressed
..Why, we are more than anxious for
the Democrats to come, just to show
them that they have had no cause Tor
fear, and that they will be perfectly free
from trouble of any kind was the con-
sensus of the remarks made on every
hand
The company of militia from Barbours-
vile stood attention before the Laurel
County seminary building, the London
home cf the legislature, when the meln-
bers walked past from the railroad sta
ton to the hotels. The presence of the
soldiers did not provoke comment, but
was placidly accepted as a part Of the
regular legislative programme.
The town has been filled with noun
taineers all day, partly owing to the fact
that the Laurel county circuit court be-
gan its winter term today, but more es-
pecially that court day is the regular
day for the mountaineers to come to
town to swap horses and make purchases.
A telegram was received from Gov. Tay-
lor, at Frankfort, stating that the leg
islature would positively convene here to-
morrow, and everybody expressed the
greatest satisfaction.
The ~fumor that Company D, of the
state militia, at Barboursville, would ar

of RarboursviHe guards and its lone po-
