bel was shortly before o O'Clock,
tonight, sworn in as governor OF
Kentucky. and J. G. W. Beckham n

ing governor in place OF Gov. Goebel,

side just before noon, when It. l..
Edelin, of Frankfort. one Of Governor
Taylor's attorneys, appeared at the
Capitol hotel to hold a conference
with Judge Pryor, Lewis McQuoIn
and Col. VIM. Scott, the legal advls-
ers OF the democracy. After a short
talk. Mr. Edelin declared that Gov
ernor Taylor and the republican par
ty were anxious to avoid anything
that might possibly lead to serious
trouble, as the present conditions
might do II nothing were done to
prevent 1t. He was assured by the
democratic attorney that they were
as anxious to save any clash between
the parties as the republicans could
be, Mr.. Fdelln then proposed to
submit the case OF the rival govern
ors to the Kentucky court ofappeals,
which he declared, judging by the ac-
tien of Judge Hazelrigg In swearing
in Governor Goebel, would probably
decide against GovernorTaylor. He
then wanted the right to submit the
matter to- the United States supreme
court for final settlement. The talk
was informal. Mr.. Edelin, merely
stated his position that the opposing
attorneys might take the matter un'
der advisement. The lawyers sepa-
rated with the agreement to meet at
2 o'clock In the afternoon. When
they met for the second time Mr.,
Edelin, again submitted his PROPOSE.
tion and received the reply that the
democratic attorneys desired to have
the matter adiudicated in the state
courts. To this Mr.. Edelin, objected
saying he wished the final settlement
to be made in the supreme court al
Washington. Mr.. Edelin asked fol
detail regarding the seating Of Gov
ernor Goebel by the joint session last
night. Az 1t has been repeatedly an
nounced that the republicans would
claim that the seating of Goebel by
joint ballot is contrary to the Goebe
election law, Of Kentucky, which pro
vides. the republicans claim. that tn,
vote shall be taken separately, tb,
democrats declined to say anything
about the meeting. They told Mr.
Edelin that the proceedings OF tn,
session were written In the journal o
legislative proceedings and that h'
would there find all the Information
which 1t was possible to give him.
Mr.. McQuoin urged the republican,
to concede the election and seating o
Governor Goebel, which Mr.. EdelIr
declined to entertain. Both sides ar,
Mt the end of their respective ropes
Nothing more could be said on eithe

COAL IN sPITzBERGEN.
A Ships Cargo of 1t Taken to Norway
from the Land That
Nobody owns.

Until recently no one has ever found
reindeer or anything else en- Spitzber-
gen that could give value to this great
arctic region. Perhaps this is the rea-
son why none of the European govern
ments has never thought it worth
while to assert ownership over Spitz-
bergen. But cargo O.; coal lately ar
rived in Norway from Spitzbergen and
this fact may give these bleak northern
islands greater value in the opinion of
Europe. W
On the shores Of Iceford, one of the
largest indentations on the west side
of Spitzbergen. Norwegian seal hunt
err Capt Zakarassen, has discovered
large deposit of excellent coal. He
says the veins are thick, the coal is of
good quality and being at the seashore
it may be conveniently mined. He has
proven that there is something in his
story by bringing q shipload of the
commodity to Norway, and it is expect
ed the coal will be mined if for no other
purpose than to supply fuel to the con-
oiOCAdDAC Au4lDCI VI SltdlucIS anu
yachts which visit Spitzbergen every
summer. If the deposits are extensive
and rich Spitzbergen coal may come to
have some economic Importance. The
ports of northern Russia and Norway
import great deal of coal and it would
be really easier for them to carry it
from Spitzbergen than from England,
I The question of the ownership Of
SpitzbergeD has been discussed in Eu-
ropean newspapers for some time, Eng
land is willing that Norway should
take the region, but there would be
opposition. on paper at least, to rails
ing the Russian or German flag there.
If the coal is an economic success it !
y not likely that spitzbergen willmuch
longer be an outcast among the lands |
of The world. but will be annexed by |

ng important that some authority
should be extended over that region.

and were introduced with good ef-

The republican convention at
Claremore yesterday from accounts
was about the most harmonious
meeting ever held in this country.
Wn. Mellette was unanimously
indorsed for national committee
man and P. L. Soper was unani-
mously indorsed for delegate to
Philadelphia. Such harmony
could exist nowhere else than in
the republican party.
The status of the Cherokee
treaty in congress is that there is
little likelihood Of its getting con-
sideration at this session of con-
gress. It is generally admitted
that the Curtis amendment was
only intended to delay the final
adoption Of the treaty practically
as made by the Cherokee delega-
ton and the Dawes commission.
Little more legislation than the
completion and passage Of appro.
priation bills will be attempted.
The members are growing restless
and are eager to get home and
plunge into the political campaign
now opening, and it is almost GER
tain that the Indian treaties will
have to wait. However, there is
a bare possibility tina. the friends
of the Dawes, commission and
those who understand the necessi-
ty Of prompt action will insist up
on action before adjournment.
