Republicans WcHt 10 London and
Democrats Home,
Democrats May Have
Secret Session.
Rumor to That Effect Was Not
Confirmed.

Frankfort, KY. February 4.-aiembers
of the legislature are exceedingly scarce
in Frankfort to-day. Nearly every MEM
bar has left the city. the Republicans hav-
ing gone In the dirsosion Of London and
the majority Of the Democrats to their
homes, although a small number Of them
have gone TO Cincinnati. Few II any tf
the Democrats who have gone, Will re-
turn TO Frankfort until after the session
of the legislature which Is called for
Tuesday at London, 10 held. although u
large number Of them expect to be pres
ent at the funeral of Governor q oebel.
As a usual thing many Of the members
leave the city Saturday, spending Sunday
at their homes, but the exodus has nevsr
been SO complete rs ut this time.
The leaving of the Democratic Senators
and Representatives has been on the ad-
vice Of their attorneys, who have told
them, that 1t would. all things eonsid-
cred, be the bsst thing for them to go to
their homes, or to some place where they
could not be reached In hurry II at
tempts should be made TO arrest them
and take them to London, as has been
threatened by TIE military forces OF tie
state. It has been decided Ly the Demo-
Gratis that trey will make no resistance In
the event of arrest and conveyance to
London but thst whom they arrive tn sy
will not vote upon one subject that may
be brought before tho session.
There have been numerous rumors oil
day that the Democrats intend to held a
session Of their own at some place in the
state oltside OF Frankfort. Sometimes
the runor named Covington, and some.
times 1t was London. The report could
not be substantiated In any way however.
Representative Il. I. Berry, wto was
about the only memter Of the House
around the capitol hotel today said that
he had been advised to go away from
frankfort until after the Republicans
had started their session In London, but
said that he had decided to remain here.
He denied that there was an intention to
hold Democratic session of the legisla-
turs at some place outside of ths capital

TIA. Man Who Was Arrested for
sedi,icn by Republicans.
frankfort, KY. February -AIonzo
Walker, the sienographer who was placed
under arrest on the charge OF melting the
soldiers Of the state guard to mutiny
while pinning q notice of a proposed ap-
pliestion for an injunction upon the door
of ths Office of Governor Taylor. was
released today. The release was not made
In response to the wrI Of habeas oorpus
which Sheriff Sulter tried In vain yes
terasy to serve upon Governor Taylor.
The latter concluded that Walker
had remaiued In custody for q sufficient
length of time and told him TO go home.
The charge Of melting to mutiny has
not been quashed but Walker may yet be
brought before court martial.
Various rumors were circulated in re
gard to this reasons for the sudden reie ase
of Mr.. Walker, amtng them being re-
port that his release by order Of Governor
Taylor was In deferonce to a telegram
from Washington, advising his discharge.
Governor Taylor was too busy to be
seen In regard to the matter. but Adju-
tant General Collier eniphatically denied
that any such reason existed fer Walker
release.
''Ths idea Is absurd" said General
Collier "No such telegram has been
received, either from the authorities at
Washington or from any one elsa Mr..
Walkers arrest was simply = matter OF
military discipline. He was not dis
charged. but simply given els liberty I'M
I'll arran gements can be made for his
trial By court martial. When this will be
has not been determined as yet and
PROBABLY will not be at present. Mr..
Walker has not been psroled, although
he offered to sign formal parole. But
we did not consider this necessary, as he
promised to be on hand when his trial
should be called and his word is suf1i-
sient i"
General Collier added: "A wrong I'M
preston apparently prevails in regard to
the reasons for the arrest. Mr.. Walker
was heard TO make statements two day.
before his al rest that were regarded as
mutinous, and persons overlooking his
remarks made affidavit TO that effett.
These sffidavits are now ON fi.e with the
governor. The order for mis- arrest was
accordingly made ont by Governor Taylor
aud we were only waiting for a favorable
opportunity to arrest him. His arrest at
the time IL did OCCUR, was as unlocked
for by us as 1t was by him, and was more
of an accident than design. Is Is simply
nonsense to say that Walker was confined
because he pinned court notice on the
governors door"

this did not last long. Carlisle went
into national politics and Goebsl took to

Goubtedly complexities of ethics which
human philosophy has not fathomed, per
haps never will understand. To a child
in the midst Of the multiplication table
thf mysteries of differential calculus have
no meaning; yet common fractions and
the working out Of an astronomical prob
lem are governed by the same general
principles, and rest on precisely the same
foundation. Neither one of them has any
thing to do with luck, or caprice. or mira
cles. end there is no more possibility Of
a planet being where it ought not 10 be,
according to the laws of astronomy, than
there is that by some peculiar chance two
and two may make three. or five. or six.
Admitting all this, it is quite as well
for the present generation 20 remember
that ethical laws are vast and far-reaching,
and extremely complex in their working;
and that. generally speaking. in the affairs
of nations the thing which is likely to
happen is the unexpected. There viii
always be action and reaction in popular
feeling, because perfectly correct prin-
ciple can he carried to such an extreme
that il may do great harm; and then the
people have 10 experiment with the oppo-
site conclusion and find the proper medium
of thought and action. This is not de-
generaey: sill less mere capricious Shift
ness; it is progress; the same sort of
movement made by ship when she has !
10 tack against the wind The human race /
is advancing in the face of the strong con- I
sentative forces of brute nature, which are |
seemingly always dragging individuals and |
communities back into the place whence /
they sprung; and it has taken some time /
to learn the elementary laws of navigation I
and man the ship properly. There may I
come a day when We shall not have TO
wait Cor fair weather in order 10 reach our
destination. Then the word luck Will
drop out Of the language.

COME mt Bay.

The veil of mystery which yesterday
covered the operations of Lord Roberts
and Kitchener and their brave antagonist.
General Cronje. may be lifted this morn
ing and therefore il would be injudicious
10 attempt even a guess at the real truth
concerning what will probably pass into
history as one OF the most remarkable bat
ties of modern times. On the face Of
things st would appear that Cronje was
guilty of wholesale suicide in holding out
in his river bed lager against the fire Of
fifty British guns concentrated on his
men. he being without means 20 reply
effectively TO The fire But If il be true
that he is taking this course to check the
British movement and TO delay the adj
vance on Bloemfontein until the heavy
guns which he may have sent forward
from hagersfontein can be emplaced, then
his act is one of unadulterated heroism
and is to be commended by every soldier
and student of military science. Such
self-saerifce is unusual and not man
datory upon any commander situated as
we take it Cronie is: hence it is all the
grander
When We are al length permitted to
read the record of this weeks work in
South Africa it is likely that We shall
find record OF sadly bloody fighting.
Roberts is almost in the situation occu-
pied by the Beers at Ladysmith. Prac-
tically he is besieging Cronje and at the
same time engaging columns moving
against him for Cronjes relief. At Paar-
deberg and Petrusberg, and in all the
country between, ii is assumed that there
has been fierce engagement in progress
for three days at least. The absence of
definite information both from the Free
State and Nata1-is annoying. Buffers adj
vance toward Ladysmitb is singularly
slow if 1t be fact that he has only Jou-
Dert's rear guard to contend against. 1t
Is all in the dark at this hour of writing,
out our late morning cables may make the
shole situation as clear as day.
