WILKINSON ON
 BRITISH POSITION General Roberts is Evidently Making Ready to Begin
 His Campaign.

London, February 10.-In the Morning Post today MT. Spencer Wilkinson, review ing the military situation, says:
 Lord Roberts is evidently about to be- gin his campaign and there are signs that General Methuen's force will make the first important movement. It is probable that the Seventh division will be heard of as cooperating with Methuen.
 "The latest news regarding General Bull ler's operations is puzzling. It looks now as if he never seriously contemplated an attempt to relieve Ladysmith, but only a demonstra tion to prevent the Boers from diverting endorsements to Magersfontein.
 Looking to the distance from Ladysmth to Kimberley, journey in which the Boers would get little railway help from the transport of their forces, Lord Roberts has a clear week for the fest blow which will put a new face upon the situation. This hypothesis would account for the recent state of things in both the theaters of war and the peculiarites of the attacks on Monday and Tuesday would become intel ligible, for if they had been intended as a serious movement General Butler would have largely reinforced and would have pushed the attack with greater energy

M'DONALD DRIVEN BACK
After Severe Fighting Methuen Ordered
 Retirement

Koodorsberg Drift, February S.-The Boers yesterday made a determined attempt to drive the British from 0hil command ing the drift. Mounting two seven pound CTS at the northern extremity they shelled the position intermitently the whole day.
 The Zaforth Highlanders gained a posi- tion on the rocky summit and kept up a sustained rifle fire, but suffered somewhat from tine Boers' smelling. A battery was sent and succeeded in ssilencing the Boer fire.
 Meanwhile two companies of the Argyle Highlanders advancing along the plain in a westerly direction found the Boers en- trenolhed at a small drift. A sharp en- gagement followed, asting the whole day
 General Macdonald now only requires sufficient troops in order to completely surround the Boers. General Babington was dispatched from Modder river with a large force of cavalry and two horse bat teries but failed to reach here although he started early enough in the day to enable him to get here early th.s evening.
 This morning the infantry still remain in the old position. General Methuene or dered retirement to the Modder river which is now proceeding. The British losses were fifty men.

the Democratic Party Several Anti-Goebel Men Attending
 the Legislative Session

Louisville, Ky, February 9.-The demo- cratic legislature met here today, having present in each house quorum of the total membership. Governor Beckham made the announcement this evening that he is pre- pared to protect the legislators from arrest, and that he will do so.
 These developments of today mark the first steps towards carrying out the plans announced Sunday last by the democrats to set up state government here that have been taken since those plans were developed by the peace agreement
 Some commotion was caused among the legislators this morning by reports from London and Frankfort that warrants were about to be sworn out for the arrest Of enough democratic members to make a quorum for the republican legislature now meeting at London When told of this, Governor Beckham said: ,,....,s .f5 ,s,s-.,
 No member of the legislature who comes to Louisville need fear arrest. I shall not allow any member of the general assembly to be arrested"
 When asked what measures would be adopted to prevent such arrests should they be attempted, Governor Beckham re-
 
 the legislature and to arrest any persons who interferred with its members. Further than this he would make no statement
 It is known, however, that since the ap- pointment of General Castleman as adju- tant general arrangements have been made to provide a defense force ample for the safety of the democratic state officers
 Sessions Iiela m our, house w
 The legislative sessions today were held in the court house, the senate meeting Tn the chancery court room, the house in the county court room. Twenty senators, one more than quorum were present when Lieutenant Governor Carter called that body to order. Regular business was taken up where it was dropped at Frankfort. Resolutions from the general assembly of Texas, in memory of Governor Goebel, were then read and in respect to his memory the senate adjourned until tomor- row. .5a l4s.sl.
 Two sessions of the house were held dur ing the day without a quorum. In the evening, however, fifty-three members, two more than necessary responded to their names. The Texas legislatures resolu- tion of sympathy was read and commit tee was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Governor Goebel. A resolu- ton was adopted instructing the sergenat- at-arms to order absent members to report here at once, after which the house ad- journed until tomorrow
 The events of the past ten days have served to solidify the democratic forces in the legislature, and to strengthen the partys position there. Among the mem bers who answered to their names today were a number who have been classed as anti-Goebel men and who on several polit- ical issues have voted with the republi- cans.

OFFICERS AFTER G0EBEL'S ASSASSIN Man Arrested Who Says Whitta- ker Knows More Than
 He Has Told.

Frankfort, Ky, February 9.-The authori- ties expect to obtain important evidence re- garding the assassination of Governor Goe- bel from Silas Jones, who was arrested to- day. MT. Jones declares that he personally knows nothing of the crime, but says that Harlan Whitaker, who ran out of the building immediately after the shooting, knows a great deal about the crime.
 It is believed that Jones gave more infor- nation than that regarding Whitaker, and that what he told the police may lead to further arrests in the neighborhood of Richmond, Madison county, Ky.
