no decision, and will announce none
before to-day. The text of the agree
ment reached by the Louisville confer
ence Monday night was brought to him
Tuesday morning by committee con-
sisting of Gen. Dan Lindsay, 7. H.
Baker and 7. L. Edelen. They handed
Gov. Taylor a copy of the agreement,
were closeted with him for short time
and then departed.
