In London there is q very general be.
lief that the British forces in South AT.
RIGA will be concentrated for an invasion
of the Orange Free State. Ladysmith
may be abandoned, the relief of Gen.
White and his army of 5000 being con-
sidered quite hopeless. The list of Of
ficers killed, wounded and missing,
given out by the war office, is formid-
able one, and shows the British ranks
have suffered terribly.
There is little news of operations in
South Africa, but it is believed Lord
Roberts is planning an invasion of the
the Orange Free State. The orders for
the mobilization Of the British fleet and
the seeming inclination to delay the
sending of troops to the Cape seem to
indicate fear on the part of the British
ministry that trouble may break out
nearer home.
While operating near Subig a scout
ing party of the Twenty-fifth infantry
was ambushed by Filipinos and lieu
tenant and three privates were killed
and two or three privates wounded.
In London the seventh session of the
fourteenth parliament of Queen Vic
toria opened, and in her speech the
queen declared that the war in South
Africa would be continued until the en-

criticised by leaders of the opposition
and the Irish factions agreed to work in
harmony.

ception, denounced the shooting in the
most unmeasured terms. Gov. Taylor
Immediately caused a small address to
be- published in which he declared the
affair to be a disgrace, and an outrage,
and calling for the most sober con-
demnation. He sent orders at once to
Adjt. Gen. Collier directing him to take
steps for the preservation of. order.
Gen. Collier is a republican and is op-
posed to Mr.. Goebel. He declared the
shooting to be a most cowardly affair,
and one that upon every consideration
was to be regretted.
Excitement mt Frankfort.
Gov. Taylor Wednesday morning is
sued a proclamation declaring that a
state of instruction existed in Ken
lucky, and particularly in the city
adjourned the legislature to meet at
London, Laurel county, on February 6.
Goebel Sworn In.
William Goebel and J. C. w. Beckham
were shortly before nine o'clock
Wednesday night sworn in as governor
and lieutenant governor of Kentucky
respectively. The oath was admins
tered to both men by Chief Justice
Hazlerigg. This is the latest action of
the democrats and the plan was set on
foot as soon as the report of the con-
testing boards, which for two weeks
had been listening to the evidence in
Goebels contest for the governors
chair and which declared him entitled
TO the seat, was heard.
Orders Military to Dispense.
Mr.. Goebel, as soon as he was as
sured that he was legally governor of
Kentucky. took prompt action regard
ing the military arm of the service.
Two orders were quickly prepared for
his signature, the first of which dis
charged Adjt. Gen. Daniel Collier from
office. and appointed Gen. John B. Cas-
tleman, of Louisville, as his successor.
May Refuse to Obey.
There is possibility of trouble in
this matter of control o. the state
troops. The regiments of the guard
have lately been reorganiZed. and are
for the most part made up of repub-
licans and the personal followers of
Taylor. 1t is not certain that they will
at once obey the orders issued by Gov.
Goebel. and any attempt to force them
to do so will almost certainly result in
| trouble.
1t was announced by members of the
militia that of the soldiers now under
arms here, about 300 would obey the
orders of Gov. Goebel. 1t is not expect
ed that they will attack their comrades
but they will refuse to obey the orders
of Gov. Taylor and take their chances
of cOurt-martial.

Taylor, ex-Gov. Bradley and Attorneys
Yost and Sweeney determined to seek

and very dangerously wounded. Har-

it is argued that bicycling is on the

social fad without material loss or i'm
