Opponents of GoebeI Claim the
Nebraskan Objects.
STORY HAS BEEN DENIED
The Republicans Have Not Given Up
Kentucky Fight, and Are Anxious 81
ly Awaiting Some News
from Washington

Frankfort KY, January 1.-THE silver
claim to have information that w. ].
Bryan does not approve of the contests
which are being prosecuted by Goebel and
other democratic candidates. They went so
far today as to say that Bryan had written
letter to Senator Blackburn dscouraging
the contests.
National Committeeman Urey Woodson,
who was In conference with Mr.. Bryan in
Chicago last Sunday, gave emphatic and
positive denial to these claims tonight. He
said:
'I discussed the Kentucky political situa-
tion with Mr.. Bryan thoroughly, and
know there is no foundation for these
stories." 1T is said Mr. Bryan feels that the
democratic leaders in the state are capable
of settling their own affairs and that he
will have no advice to offer them on the
subject of contests when he comes here
next Tuesday to attend the banquet cele-
brating the event of Senator Blackburn's
election to the United States senate.
The story of the engagement of Senator
VIM. Goebel and Miss Corinne Blackburn
authoritatively denied
The republican leaders, while not aban-
doning the fight against Goebel in the leg
islature, are eagerly awaiting news from
Washington as to what aid the federal gov
ernment would give the Taylor adminsstra-
tion In the event Goebel Is seated by the
| legislature.
That the republican leaders are advising
Governor Taylor to resist in case the leg1s-
1ature decides in favor of Goebel and are
promising support to him is generally ad-
mftted.
Major Atwood, who Governor Bradley ap-
pointed United States senator in 1885, nut
who failed to be seated, said tonight:
'Taylor has been elected, and II he Is
turned out by an arbitrary board we
| should not countenance ITS action. We
| should fight If 1t be necessary"
| There was conference tonight of re-
publican leaders from all over the state.
| among whom were several prominent fed
| eral officeholders, and it is said stronger
pressure is to be brought to bear at Wash
| ington in favor of Taylor than had been
| heretofore.
| The sentiment of all those attending The
| conference was decidedly bellicose. and the
feeling is somewhat heightened by the fact
| that at least three of the legislative con-
| tests are so near completion tonight as to
| assure a vote on them next week, and
| that a majority of them are nearly certain
| to be disposed of before the contests for
| governor and lieutenant governor are
| voted on.

in regard to the American shipments of
flour and provisions on the detained British
steamers Beatrice and Mashona and the
Dutch cteamer Maria.
British Position
The British position as to food stuffs and
hostile destination is that they can only be
considered contraband of war if supplied
for the enemy's forces, 1t not being suffi-
cient that they are capable of being seized.
but 1t must be shown that this was their
destinations at the time of seizure. This
qualification virtually comedies the Ameri-
can contention that the goods were not sub
ject to seizure, and especially disavows the
seizure, it not being claimed that there is
any evidence of hostile destination.
London. January 12.-The Standard, in an
editorial upon the governments reply to

governments definition of international
law as applied to the carriage of food

Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, January 6.-The
election of superintendent came up as
the regular order OF business to-day
by an order of the Board as OF yester-
day. A ballot was taken and resulted
as follows: w. E. Stathers received
two votes; r. A. Roger, OF Buckhan-
non one vote; w. r. Cummings. of
East Bank, one vote; A. Fl. Kunst, of
Weston, two votes; Fleming Howell,
of Clarksburg, one vote; J. ". Chean-
ey. of Fairmont, n vote. No eandi-
late receiving a majority of all the
votes cast, President Meighen ordered
the board to proceed with another bal.
lot. whereupon a motion was made to
postpone further balloting upon the
superintendent until the April meet
ing, upon which motion the ayes and
noes were called and resulted as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Messrs. Sterling, Tenor. Glib
son., Hurst and Crooks. Noes

1t is generally conceded had an
other ballot been taken DIR. Stathers
would have received a number moro
votes. There seems to be a very gem

employees Of the institution as we'll as
a great many Of the best people In
Weston that DR.. Stathers is to remain.
The outcome is regarded as virtually
the reinstatement OF DR.. Stathers.
The board adjourned this afternoon
to meet the Sd day of April.
