orders the troops now encsmped
around the capitol building are bound

the new adjutsnt general will, the
Democrats claim, have the power to

and proceed against all people who
defy the authority of his Office and

hand the Republicans are fixed in
their attitude that there is an insur

TAYLOR APPEALS
TO THE PRESIDENT.
Doubtful Of His Power to
Control the Situation,
He ASKS FOR RECOGNITION,

Washington, Feb President
McKioley has received a long mes
cage from Gov Taylor of Kentucky
dated today, at Frankfort. Gov
Taylor declares that be-: considers
himself the legally elected executive
of the State and ssys that riot may
occur at any time which will cause
much bloodshed Gov Taylor SAYS
that he is doubtful Of his power to
control the situation, and appeals to
the president to end the matter and
secure peace IN the State by recog
nizing him az governor of Kentucky.
The appeal for administration aid is
urgently put
Gov Tsylor's communication to
President Mckinley is in its nature q
memorial. It goes at great length
into the situation 10 Kentucky, max.
ing an explanation of the conditions
there While definite and absolute
information on this point is not OBJ.
tainsble, there is reason to believe
that Q specific request for the immed
late presence Of federal troops is not
made No action Of any kind has
been taken on Gov Taylor's memori
al. and it can be positively stated
that up to midnight no decision
whatever with reference to it had
been reached 1t will be considered
at tomorrow's regular cabinet session.
The president will 60 very SLOW 10
the mstter 10 the hope that events in
the State ieself will 90 shape them
selves as to relieve the administration
of the necessity of any action
At the same time, there are contia.
gencies which may practically com
pei the president TO move. If such
contingencies can be averted they
will be. The tension 10 Kentucky is
intense. and it's very intensity is felt
here to be likely to lead to some
peaceful solution Of the question
Action by the federal government at
this time, it 10 feared, might further
rouse rather than smooth the angry
passions that have prevented sn ad
justment thus far The position of
the administration. however, is that
efforts aloug the line of q judicial
determination of the claims OF
Messrs Taylor and Goebel should not
be abandonedbecause of the impass
able barrier at today's conference at
Frankfort. but that futher attempts
should be made TO reach an under.
standing with the democratic man.
sgement The president is in com.
munication with Gov Taylor. and it is
possible that some statement regard
ing their correspondence may be
made public later. This will depend
largely on whether such q statement
would tend, iu President McKinley's
opinion. to allay excitement. For
the present no information at all is to
be bad from the White House as to

LEGISLATURE MEETS.
The Democratic members of the
legislature today effected q regular
organization for the fret time since
the swearing in of Gov Goebel A
secret session Of the members of
both houses was held in one of the
pariors of the Capitol hotel, at which
the election of William Goebel, as
governor. and j g w Beckham, as
lieutenant Governor. was reaffirmed,
first in separate sessions of the house
and senate, and afterward in q Joint
session Preceding this action the
members of the senate elected as
president protein Senator Garter, who
was nominated for that position at
yesterdays caucus A committee
of the members of the house, com.
poeed of Representatives Finn,
Lsfferty. and Cochran. was also ap.
pointed 10 draw up q set of reso'u.
tions showing the condition of affairs
az it exists at the State capital today,
and covering thoroughly the Demo.
cratic side of the controversy. Pro.
badly 30 further attempt will be
made to hold sessions 10 the State
house.
1t seems to be we'll understood
among the Democratic members of
the Legislature that the session at
Londsn will be ignored altogether by
them and that no Democrat will at
tend "until compelled to do So"
The Democratic members will con
tinuo to hold session at some con.
ventient place until the political at.
mosphere hss cleared. This plan of
action was decided on to forestsll any
attempt on the part of the Republi.
cans to arrest them and compel their
attendance at London. which action,
has been determined upon by Gov
Taylor
If arrests ere attempted. no resist-
ance will be made by the Democrats,
either to arrest or to attending the
session at London shou ldthey be ar
rested 1t was determined that all
acts of violence should be avoided,
and that the battle for supremacy
hereafter should be fought out in the
courts. Nevethelesss, the, situation
tonight is regarded a grave by mem
bers Of DO tbparties, and no one Is
willing to forecast the. result of the
