RESTS WITH TAYLOR
Question of Peaceful Settlement Is
in His Hands.
HIS DECISION NOT YET ANNOUNCED,
Prominent Men of Both Parties Think
He VIII Yield-Lnwmalsers Meet
in LOndon-GoebePs Re-
mains Mt COvinEtOn.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. Whether it
shall be war OF peace in Kentucky rests
with Gov. Taylor alone. The question
had been in his mind all day, and at
night he declared that he had reached
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, T. III.
Baker and t. l.. Edelen. They handed
Gov. Taylor copy of the agreement,
were closeted with him for short time
and then departed. AS they left the
building Mr.. Baker remarked: II hope
be amicably adjusted. More than this
am unable to say at the present time"
Gen. Lindsay and Mr.. Edelen spoke in
similar terms, and while all expressed
themselves as reasonably confident that
Gov. Taylor would acquiesce in the
terms of the agreement, they all desired
to be understood as saying that they
had no authoritative reason from Gov.
Taylor for entertaining the belief they
expressed.
Early in the morning, before he had
received copy of the agreement, Gov.
Taylor discussed the conditions as he
understood them to be before receiving
official notice, and said: Under no
circumstances will I discuss the agree
ment before copy of it has reached me.
1t would be most unfair, and most dis
courteous for me to do so. Speaking
generally, however, would say that
III an agreement can be made by which
an election law will be given to the peo-
pie of Kentucky through the operation
of which a fair election and an honest
count are assured to the citizens of this
state no personal ambition of mine will
DE allowed to stand in the way"
Seeks Legal Advice. =
After the three.-genfleme who
brought the agreement had retired Gov
Taylor remained alone in his office
with the copy of the agreement. He
studied it carefully, went over its sew
eral provisions in an exhaustive man
ner, and late in the afternoon declared
that he would take no action whatever
until to-day. 81 wish to see my attor-
neys,'' he said, land to consult with

ment before announce my intention.

after have obtained legal advice" The
consultation of the attorneys was held
Tuesday night in Gov. Taylor's Office
and adjourned at late hour.
Senator Blackburn, who returned |
Tuesday morning from Louisville, ex-
pressed himself Tuesday night as being
confident that the entire trouble would
be settled peacefully.

The work of the appropriations COM
mittees is greatly simplified this year
by the Investigations and recommends
tions made by the state board of con
troll. 1t seems likely that the commit
tees will be guided very largely by the
recommendation of the board in regard
to the institutions over which it pre-
sides. This will save great deal Of
time and will enable The committees
to report the appropriations bills much
earlier in the session than they have
heretofore done. In this way the length
of the session may be considerably re-
duced, and as there is comparatively
little of statewide interest coming up
