FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 13.-The con.
test committee, in the contest for COVER
nor, met AID, by majority vote, over.
ruled the objections filed by Governor
Taylor to the Democratic members of
the committee sitting in the case. Each
member made short statement, deny
ing the allegations in the governors af-
fidavit. All Of the Democratic members
present voted to overrule the objections
and Representative Yarberry, the only
Republican member present, voted to
sustain them.
The Goebel leaders claimetl tele.
graphic advices from counties in the
eastern part of the state that military
companies in that section are being
equipped to come to Frankfort next
week. t
They also said Republican militiamen
were in the town in citizens clothes.
Republicans laughed at the report.
The Republican leaders insist on the
claim that the contestants for state Off.
GERS must receive a majority in each
branch of the Legislature, instead of a
majority of joint assembly, as claimed
by the Democrats, and this is another
of the questions which may have to go
to the courts.
II the Republican contention is sus-
tanned, 1t is admitted Goebel would be
in exceedingly close lines il the senate.
The latest poll of that body by the Re-
publicans IL that 1T contains at least five
anti.Goebel Democrats and Senator
Hill, Democrat, is i'll at home, with lit.
tie prospect of getting here during the
session. With Hill and Goebel not vot.
ing, the Goebel senators, under these
circumstances. would be in minority.

on board Two were on the bridge and
one vas in tho rigging. Those ON the
bridge were safe until about D. m.,
when they were washed overheard and
drowned, the bridge being carried
away. The survivor soon after left
the rigging, swan to the rocks and
twice endeavored to get footing.
Falling in this. he had made his way
back to the rigging. where he died Of
exposure during tho night.
Many dead bodies are visible tos sing
in the surf. Two Of them. thrown up in
cove, cannot be reached owing to the
heavy sea. One is thought to be tha of
woman.
Boats and other wreclsage are strewn
among the rocks for miles.
Yesterday WAS more stormy than the
day before, and 1t was impossible to
reach the wreck, which has gone to
pieces to such an extent that it has sunk
beneath tho waves.
The wreck commissioner hopes to be
able to obtain her name today.
There is not the slightest prospect that
any soul on boaad escaped death, as the
intense mid-minter cold would kill any
who escaped drowning.

General Butler dated his dispatch.
Three commandos have been obviously
dislodged, either by fighting or ty ma:

coupled with the fact that unofficial

virtually ceased since Monday, the de.
duction is drawn that important opera.
tions are in progress, as he cannot move
Tar without going against the Boer en-.

The death lists from enteric fever and

from eight to ten daily, are considered
more serious than the casualties of Sat.

Buller's message contained the follow

II occupied the south bank of the
cugela river, at Potgieter's drift, this
morning, and seized pont. The river is
in flood. The enemy is strongly on.
trenched about four and half miles to
the north.
An apparently well.informed corro-
spondent OF The Morning Post said:
'"The Boer strength, originally S3 900
men, is now heavily augmented by
Cape Colonists, and the enemy's fight
ing forces may be estimated fairly at
100000 men and 203 guns. The Beers
are not compelled to guard their COM

crops are growing. vegetables, cattle
