REPUBLICAN SESSION AT LONDON
House and Senate NJ eet, but There ia Nc
Quorum-Isesolution


London, Ky, Feb. 7.-Republican
members of the KentuclS legislature
| met in abandoned schuol rooms here
yesterday. Each room was about 20
| by 80 feet in dimensions. The senate
met on the lower floor of the old Laur-
ell county seminary and the house on
the upper one. Students benches that
quarter of century ago We're an
tique and walls that had never been
painted greeted the lawmakers. No
sooner were the doors closed to keep
out the cold, raw wind, than they were
opened to let out the sitting smoke
that refused to make an exit thru
patched and punctured pipes attached
to the stoves. However, the legislature,
tho lacking a quorum, performed it's
scheduled business in half an hour.
House Honors Goebel,s Memory.
r. M. Stack, of Greensboro, called
the representatives 10 order. Burgess
Bethurum was nominated for speaker
pro tenn, Speaker Trinble being abb
sent, by reclamation. Thirty-four
members responded to the roll call,
six less than the republican member
ship, and lacking sixteen of quorum.
Temporary clerks were named and the
resolutions on the death of Senator
Goebel were read and adopted They
had been revised early in the day by
the insertion of clause extending
sympathy to the friends and relatives
of the murdered man. Adjournment
was then taken until today.
Brown Democrats Uphold Taylor.
Senator Hayes, the Brown democrat.
called to order the twelve senators pres
ent besides himself. He then made a
speech in which he expressed hope
for speedy and peaceable termina-
ton Of Kentucl1y's political war. He
upheld Acting Governor Taylor's ac-
lions in clinging to the governorship.
Mr.. Jollv was elected chairman pro
tem., Lieutenant Governor Marshall be-
ing in Louisville. Minor officers were
| elected and resolutions on the death Of
lGoebel were adopted. The senate also
adjourned until today.
| 81 suppose we will simply adjourn
from day to day." said Representative
Slack, after the session. [ don't see
what else we can do, but we will STAY
here until directed to do otherwise by
Governor Taylor. That is our first and
greatest duty and every man on the
ground proposes to stand by the gov
ernor to the last"
| Reports of conferences and agree
ments to effect compromise or truce
are disheartening the legislators here,
and word from Mr.. Taylor to abandon
the London session would not be sur
Uprising or unwelcome. There are
no democrats here except Senator
Hayes.

Start for the Front.

London, Feb. 7.-By Associated
Press.)-Lord Roberts, commander-in-
chief of the British forces in South
Africa, and his chief of staff, Lord
Kitchener, have left for the front. This
seems to indicate that an important
movement is on foot. A dispatch from
Sterkstrom, dated this morning, an
nounces that the Beers We're attacking
Gatacre from two directions. Firing
was then proceeding between the out
posts. A delayed Sterkstrom dispatch,
dated February 5, says a body of
troops left the camp Feb. 8, and that
important developments are expected.
1t is probable that this explains Rob-
erts' departure and that he wishes
either to be present at or supervise the
long-intended movement by Gatacre to
join the forces with General Kelly
Kenny, and thence strongly to REIN
force General French, completing the
latter's work at Colesberg and estab-
fishing without fear of serious oppose
ton an advanced position for the main
movement. This, of course, is greatly
supposition and it can be confidently
said that the departure of Roberts and
Kitchener for the front does not indi-
cate that the main advance has begun.
The commanders will probably be
back in Cape Town within short
time. The term 'going TO the 'front.'
must not be interpreted into the idea
that great movement upon Pretoria,
by way of Bloemfontein, has seriously
commenced. 1t will be month, and
perhaps much longer, before this can
be brought about.
Wants to Stop the War.
London, Feb. 7.-By Associated
Press.)-John Redmond, chairman OF
the united Irish party, in commons
today moved an amendment to the
address in reply to the speech from
the throne, representing that the time
had arrived to bring the war to a
conclusion on basis recognizing the
independence of the Transvaal.

OF Goebel by a joint session of the

agreement as signed by the republican
conferees admits the joint session as
acceptable to the republicans.

Wants to Stop the War.
UPHOLDs THE GOVERNMENT.
Parliament Votes to Endorse Conduc,
of BOer War.

London, Feb. THE debate in the
house of commons dragged yesterday
before the vote was taken and brought
to the front a swarm of ineffective
speakers.
Mr.. Asquith and Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman attempted to reply to Mr..
Chamberlain, but each spoke in a half
hearted way in defense of the amend
ment. which had been serious tactical
mistake for the opposition, and which
was rejected by vote of 139 in its sup
port and 352 against it.
Mr.. Ghamberlain's speech had been
supported from several unexpected
quarters.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's strong imper-
ialistic speech in Canada had come like
an echo to Mr.. Chamberlain's closing
passage respecting the federation of the
united empire, and no liberal malcon-
tent ventured to comment upon the
colonial nremier's outburst Of loyalty.
The York election, which was an
nounced in the commons while Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman was
speaking, was a decisive proof that the
unionist government commanded the
confidence of the country. Mr.. Balfour
was surrounded with jubilant follow
ers when he closed the debate, in
which the opposition has over
reached itself and strengthened the
government.

One Reform In Football Likely to Be
Brought About.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-Football
as played is fairly satisfactory to the
University of Pennsylvania, and the
football committee will have no amend
ments touching the game itself at the
coming meeting OF the rules committee
in New York. The matter of side line
coaching. however, will be brought for.
ward at the meeting, and Pennsylvania
will probably endeavor to have this
feature eliminated by the abolition Of
all field privilege tickets. 1t is suggested
that coaches and substitutes have a sep
arate enclosure, somewhat removed
from the gridiron, and also that the
umpire be empowered to punish the side
offending by outside coaching, either
by the loss of the ball or by giving the
opposing team SC many yards.
