TAYLOR CAUSES
 : ANOTHER MUDDLE
Blackburn's Commission Will be
 He'd Back.
TECHNICAL POINT RAISED
Governor Says if His Election Was Void Representatives Election Was Also Void, and They
 Can't Elect Senator

Frankfort. Ky. January 29.-It is not likely that United States Senator Elect BffcNburn will receive any commission from Governor Taylor until the present gubernatorial contest has been finally set tied. Governor Taylor, h is stated on ex- cellent authority. will assume the position that If it is decided he is illegally the gov eIaor of Kentucky, the legislators who elected Blackburn, and who were declared elected at the same election at which he vas a candidate for governor, were also H. legally elected, and have not. therefore, the power to choose a senator.
 The beginning of the end of the contest was at hand today, this being the last day for the taking of evidence. Tomorrow ar gumeats will commence. The decision of the contest board is looked for in about one week after the conclusion of the argu- ments.
 The evidence in rebuttal this afternoon related chiefly to tissue ballots and alleged military interferences. George J. Brown, a Louisville election officer, testified that he received $35 from the Honest Election League wi,h instructions that it be used legitimately. He said that he an anti Goebel man until William J. Bryan came to Kentucky during the campaign. when he changed his politics. The officers of the election in Graves county denied the state ment that the ballots in that county were transparent.
 John Fully, assistant chief of the Louis vile fire department, testified that he stated after the election rhat the firemen did not want to take part in the electien, but they did 1t in self-defense, and would continue to do so as long as the depart ment was controlled by politics, and they had to look out for their jobs.
 The Night Session
 The might session was largely consumed with disputed points among the attorneys. Ex-Governor Bradley was recalled by the contestants. He was followed by G. W. Gist. of Henry county. who was asked whether he was in the republican head quarters in Louisville on election night and heard Governor Bradley say that had he heard of Judge Toney's injunction an four and half sooner he would have had the troops out and changed the returns.
 Objection was made to the Question by counsel for the contestees, and the boards after consulta tion, decided to admit the ev- fdence and allow the fntroducnou of wit ness of the contestees In response. Witt ness Gist said he heard Governor Bradley make the Statement indicated.
 Representative H. Kelday, of Louisville, in rebuttal of the statement, testified that. he was present at the time the remark was alleged, 10 have been made, and he denied that Governor Bradley made such a state ment At the close of the session Governor Bradley and Attorney Aaron Kohn en- gagged in an animated conversation, during whloh the ex-governor accused Attorney Kc+ln of unfairness in springing question refiecting on his veracity when he had no opportunity to reply to it. He denied that he ever made the statement testified to by Gist. ~s,

DIR. LEYDS TALKS
He Knows Nothing of the Mission of
 Macrum

Berlin, January 29.-To the correspondent of the Associated Press, who interviewed him today, Dr. Leyds made the following statement "I know nothing about the re- ported missions of either Mir. Macrum of MT. Webster Davis Nor to the best of my knowledge Is either the bearer of a message of peace. There are no movements under way on our part to induce President Mckinley to intervene between Great Britain and the Transvaal As I do not at present have direct communication with Pretoria, don't know what Mr. Montague Whites mission is, except to establish dIp- lomatic relations with the United States. All this talk about peace Is sadly prema- ture. Great Britain surely will not suc- cumb now. Neither will we. While we are talking here, 1t may be that a decisive battle is being fought there. for I presume Lord Roberts has withdrawn the troop, around Ladysmith, and is massing then, for a formidable coup"
 Dr. Ieyds repeated his former declaration that the Boers when concluding peace would want back part at least of the terri tories which England "stole from the Bcers.' He rather expects also that an farbor south of Mozambique will go to the Transvaal-"for our legitimate extension" he added i've need free access to the sea-
 He asserted emphatically that one condf- ton of peace would be the recognition of the absolute independence of the Transvaal
 Berlin is certainly very much excited over him. He is overwhelmed with invitations. His apartments at the Palast hotel, where the Transvaal flag is flying, are besieged day and night by crowds, including con- tractors and mining speculators, as well as fine ladies gentlemen of the court and army officers who wish to congratulate him upon the Boer successes or to offer their services.

THE SPION KoP FIGHT.
A Correspondent Said Nothing Living
 Could Stand Boer Fire

London, January 3O.-A special dispatch from F'rere Camp, dated Friday, January 26 9:10 D. m., says:
 ''I have just ridden in here, having left General Buffers forces in the new posi- tions south of the Tugela, to which they re- tired in consequence of the reverse at Spion Kop. The fighting both before and after the occupation of tine mountain was of a desperate character.
 ''Spion Kop is a precipitous mountain overlapping the whole line of kopjes along the upper Tugela. On the eastern side the mountain faces Mount Alice and Potgieters Drift standing at right angles to the Boer central position and Lyttletons advanced position. The southern points descends m abrupt steps to the lower line of kopJes. On the western side, opposite the right out posts of Warren's force, it is unnecessarily steep until the point where the nek joins the kop to the main range Then there Is gentle slope which allows easy access to the summit.
 who also occupied a heavy spur paralleled with the kopje where the enemy was con cealed in no fewer than 30 rifle pits, ana was thus enabled to bring to bear upon our men a damaging cross-fire the only possl- ble point for British attack being the southern side, With Vlrtudny SAeei PiSSiPSS on the left and right.
 "A marrow footpoth, admitting meh in s,nola file only to the summit, opens Tn a perfectly fiat tableland, prooa1ly oi Soo square wards area, upon which the Boers had hastily commenced to make a trans verse trench. Our men were unable 10 occupy the further end of this tabieiann' where the ridge descended to another flat, which was again succeeded by round, stony eminence, held by the Boers in great strength.
 It Was a Perfect Hell
 'sThe ridge held by our men was faced by number of small little kopjes at all angles. whence the Boers sent concen- trated fire from their rifles, supported by a Maxim Nordenfeldt, a big long-range gun and others. What with the rifles, the machine guns and the big gun the summit was converted into perfect hell. The shells exploded continuously in our ranks and the rifle fire from an absolutely un- seen enemy was perfectly appalling. Re- Inducements were hurried up by General Warren but they had to cross a stretch Of flat ground which was literally torn up by the flying lead of the enemy. The un- finished trench on the summit gave very ques tionabe shelter, and the enemys ma chine guns were so accurately trained upon the place that often sixteen shells fell in the trench in a single minute.
 Mortal man could not permanently hold such position. Our gallant fellows held il tenacously for twenty-four hours, and then, taking advantage of the dark night, abandoned it to the enemy.

A MOMENTARY PAUSE
Roberts May Not Permit Butler to Make
 Another Attack C

London, January S0.415 a. m.-IIistory pauses for a time in South Africa. It is one of those unsatisfactory pauses that are nearly as trying to British nerves as sequence of reverses, and apparently it will terminate only when Lord Roberts gives the word for the forward movement into the Free State, which, according to the most cheerful view, he will be unable to do for a fortnight
 Whether he will permit General Butler to make another attempt to relieve Lady, smith is quite outside the knowledge even of those closely connected with the war office. With the troops due to arrive next month"; he may think himself strong enough to try two large operations. Com bining the forces under Generals Methuen, French and Gatacre and adding to them the arrived troops, Lord Roberts would have 10000 for the invasion of the Free State, with forty to fifty thousand guard ing communications and 4O000 trying to rescue Ladysmith.
 The public burns with impotence that something should be done, but there is nothing to do but to wait on preparations Ocedns of ink are poured out in advice. Orators are att work in the provinces tell ing the people that England ''has set her teeth in grim determination to see it through
 The governments declarations in parla- ment, the counter-suggestions of those out side the government and the consequent discussion in the press and on the platform will immediately enthrall public interest. The thing upon which everybody seems agreed is that more men must go
 Big Force at Sea
 Twenty thousand, two hundred and twen- ty-two men and 155 guns are at sea; and l,000 infantry and 5000 cavalry, including 500O yeomen, are practically ready to en- bark. Therefore the government without doing more, can place at the disposal of Lord Roberts 40,000 additional men and 155 guns The further purpose of the war of- flee officials is supposed to embrace some- where in the neighborhood of 50,0O0 more men.
 As the indication is that candidates will be rather scarce, the war office will issue orders for those reserv.sts who were found unfit at the previous mobilization examine tions to report for further examina ton. Ap- plicants for cavalry service are still freely offering as yeomanry.
 General Buffers operation has cost 912 men so far officially reported within ten days. Applying to the 2O6 Spion Kop casu- alties reported today the rule of propor- tion the losses of officers indicated is 800 casualties yet to- come The total casual ties of the war. compiled from official re- ports are 9,523, nearly division.

Defeat is Filter

London, January 29.-Mr. Spencer Wilkin- son in the Morning Post says:
 "Defeat is bitter But it Is right to face it and to take reasonable means to turn it into victory. It is wrong to try to conceal it from ourselves.
 'The initiative is now again with the Boer commander. and the question is what will he do next? He will either act against Ladysmitl against General Buler. In the latter case pursuit would be useless for when the British force is only across the river again 1t would be impracticable. as a small rear guard could prevent pursuit. A fresh assault on Ladysmlth is likely, and may be recorded in a day or two. Mr Wilkinson then proceeds to point out the groundlessness of fears that strategic suggestions made in England might be useful to the enemy. He says that the cen-

MASONIC.
Oldest Lodge In the United States.
From the Quarries.

| To Norfolk belongs the distinction Of
having the oldest Masonic lodge in the
United States. This organization, known
as Norfolk lodge, No. l, was instituted in
1929 and chartered under the title Of
Royal Exchange lodge, No 172. Under
the grand lodge of England it operated
until 1741, when it surrendered its Eng
lish charter and received one from the
grand lodge of Scotland, which conferred
the title of st. Johns lodge, No. III.
In Indiana no chapter of the Eastern
Star can confer the degrees for less
sum than $40, and yet Indiana has II 1863
members and increased 992 last year.
An offer to waive jurisdiction provided
the usual fees are paid to the lodge offer
ing to grant the waiver is un-Masonic.
Waivers should always be granted in the
interest of Masonry and not for a mer-
cenary Northumberland Master De
Long.
A lodge should be judged not by its
surplus, but by the amount expended in
charity.
The grand lodge of England has passed
a resolution in relation to electioneering,
making the penalty of electioneering by
any one, or by any one in his behalf, in
capacity to enter upon his duties.
When we perform a Masonic act, we
must not boast of it, but leave it to 9TH
ers to commend US if they see fit to do
SO.
In Texas it is a Masonic offense for
Mason who is at the time suspended for
nonpayment of dues to visit lodge In
that or any other jurisdiction, and trial
may be had at either a stated or called
communication, as the master may dl-
rect.
A true Mason will not endeavor to be
better than his brother, but will strive to
be better than himself.
