A BIGGER CAPITOL.
Senator HOar Thinks There
Should Be More Room.

Washington, Jan. 30.-When the SEN
ate met today bill providing that the
cannon on the gunboat Nashville from
which the first shot was fired in the
Spanish-American war be condemned
and presented to the city of Nashville,
was passed.
Mr.. Hoar offered a resolution direct
ing the committee on rules to consider
whether some suitable plan could not be
adopted for the enlargement of the cap
itol and for providing for the transac-
ton of public business, other than legiS-
latiVe business elsewhere so that there
may be sufficient space provided for the
convenient transaction of the business
of the two houses of congress.
After debate the resolution was agreed
to.
A resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Pettgrew calling upon the president for
information as to whether the people
of Samoa were consulted on the treaty
recently made in relation TO the islands
and whether any protests have been re-

treaty was laid before the senate
On motion of Mr. Davis the resolu-
tion was referred to the committee on
foreign relations, by a vote of SO to 23
Mr.. Pettigrew then asked unanimous
consent to have printed as a public
document a statement by Aguinaldo
giving a history of the revolt of the
Filipinos against the Spaniards. He
said it was a document of great inter

on objection the question went over.

LITTLE HOPE.
Goebel's Chances For Recovery
Are Considered Slight.

Frankfort. Ky, Jan SO.-The local
civil authorities have just conferred
with Adjutant General Collier and all
pledged cooperation in preventing mob
violsnee. Whitaker, the alleged as
sassin, will be taken away from Frank
fort at o'clock, ostensibly to Louis

taker.
The impression is growing, however,
that he may be innocent.
Capt. John Davis states the follow
ing:
When the shots were fired, Governor
Taylor rushed to a window where he
could see the scene of the tragedy. He
exclaimed, My God. what have they
done? Davis, go tell General Collier to
call out the troops.

Hume informs me that he will recover.
The bullet struck the right side, just a
few inches below the shoulder joint, and
came out under the shoulder blade"
FARMER ARRESTED.
John Whitaker, of Butler, Governor
Taylor's home county, was arrested a
few minutes after the shooting while
trying to escape from the building
from which the shots were fired. He
was caught by John E. Miles, a man
past rs years of age. When searched
five pistols were taken off his person
He loudly protested his innocence, de-
claring that he was a Democrat and
not Republican. He said he was not
brought here for the purpose of killing
any one.
A heavy guard of police surrounded
him on the way to the county jail, fol-
lowed by hundreds.
Cries of Mob the assassin" and
Lets take him away from the police
and hang him. were heard all along
the route from enraged people.
Whitaker begged for protection, de-
claring that if given an opportunity he
could prove himself innocent.
ANOTHER SHOOTING.
Thirty minutes after the shooting at
the state house another shooting took
place a half square away, in which Ike
Williams, colored, was shot. it IS
thought fatally. Craig ireland, OF
Louisville. white man, did the shoot

It happened in the saloon of Charles

They rushed from the arsenal already
uniformed within a very few minutes
after the attempt at assassination was
made and in doublequick time pro-
ceeded to the state house. Guards
were placed at all the entrances, and
no one was allowed to pass in.
Both Col Chinn and Warden Lillard
declared that smol1eless powder was
used in the cartridges that were fired
at Mr.. Goebel.
The Republican officials acted with
the greatest promptitude. .Adjutant Cen

when the shots We're fired. He was not
over 800 feet from GOebel when he fell.
He instantly rushed out Of the but- ling
and learning that Goebel had been shot,

itol fired upon him. Five shots were
fired and Mr.. GoebeI fell to the ground
badly wounded He was at once car
ried to the Capital hotel.
The widest excitement was instantly
created in the town and within ten
minutes after Mr. Goebel had been
shot the streets were filed with men
carrying rifles and revolvers.
A guard was instantly thrown around
the building from which shots were
fred, in order to prevent the escape of
the assassin. A force of men dashed
INTO the building and up to the room
from which the Shots were fired, but
could find no one. The guard was re-
doubled and Adjutant General Collier,
an ardent political opponent of Goebel,
took charge Of it, leading the work of
finding the man who fired the shots.
The widest excitement prevails all
over the town.
They have assassinated Senator
Goebel," was shouted into the house
door an instant after the shots rung
out. The members rushed pen nell
over one another down the steps to the
front of the building, coatless and hat
less. In five minutes word had flown
and hundreds poured into the state
house yard and it looked as if a riot
would result. Cooler heads advised the
surrounding of the building from which
the shots came and in less than three
minutes so special police surrounded it
and detail began a search of the in
terror.
Ex-Mayor Ira Julian was early on the
scene advising the crowd to disperse
Let the blood be on the head of the
assassins,'' he said. "They have openly
boasted for months that Senator GoebeI
would not be governor of the state.
They always intended to prevent it in
this way. Let us have no rfoting. If
we do they are prepared to rush in the
federal bayonets."
Mr.. Ury Woodson said; '"The SEN

where all during the gubernatorial con-
test the local company of infantry had
been held in reserve and WlIhln ~ min
utes the company, 30 strong under COM
mand of Capt. WolcOtt was drawn up
in front of the capitol building. Guards
were placed at every gate leading to the
capitol grounds and nobody was per-
mitted to enter or leave.
There was talk on every side of plac-
ing under arrest every man who was
in the building when the shots were
fired, even including Governor Taylor,
though of course nobody believed for
moment that he had any knowledge of
the crime. He expressed himself i'm
mediateIy after the shooting as being
extremely sorry that such thing had
Assistant Secretary of State David
son said after the shooting: There
have been about 40 men, more or less
sleeping in the upper part of the build
ing for nearly a week. They We're al
lowed to spend the night there, and
took their meals elsewhere We do not
know their names. We are more than
anxious to lend every possible aid to the
authorities in finding the assassin
As soon as it was noised around that
Goebel had been shot, members of the
legislature made a wild rush for the
telegraph offices and filed NolumiuOus
messages to their constituents and
within an hour replies began to pour
in, the general run of them having but
one tenor which was I'VE are coming. >
1t is expected that fully 5000 men will
arrive in Frankfort before tomorrow

The Democrats are keeping exceed
ing close watch over the person of J.
c. w. Beckham, the contestant for the
position of lieutenant governor. In the
event of the death of Goebei he is their
only hope and they declare with earn
estness that if Goe5el dies there will be
no governor but Beckham. He is kept
in his room at the Capitol hotel and

trouble is over. He declares that he
needs no guard, but the Democrats
pay no attention to his remonstrances.

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.
Dr.Leyds Says Neither Side Is Ready
to Quit.

Of the Associated Press who interview
ed him today, DR.. Leyds made the fol-
lowing statement:
Il know nothing about the reported
missions of either Mr.. Macrum or Mr..
Webster Davis, nor to the best of my
knowledge is either official bearer of a
message of peace. There are no move
nlents under way on our part to induce
President Mckinley to intervene be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal.
As do not at present have direct com
munication with Pretoria I do not know
what Mr.. Montagu Whites mission is
except to establish diplomatic relations
with the United States.
All this talk about. peace is sadly
premature. Great Britain surely will
not succumb now. Neither will we.
While We are talking here it may bs
that a decisive battle is being fought
there, for 1 presume lord Roberts has
withdrawn the troops around Lady
smith and is massing them for a formI
dable coup"
DIR. Leyds repeated his former de-
claration that the Beers when conclud-
ing peace would want back part at
least of the territories which England
''stole from the Boers." He rather ex-
poets also that a hatbor south of Moz-
