FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 81
Governor Taylor this afternoon
issued the following address to the
people of Kentucky:
"The most lamentable condition
of affairs ever experienced by our
people has rendered prompt action
on the part of the chief executive
of the State absolutely necessary.
ga long series of unprecedented
and unlawful acts practiced by
those in charge of the legislative
interests of the State has cuimi-
mated in the most fearful condition
of the period to the State. The
dreadful tragedy which occurred
yesterday shocked and startled all,
and can be no more sincerely de-
plored by anyone than myself.
ITO attempt to legislate under
such conditions of excitement and
threatened violence as now pre-
walls in Frankfort would be sheer
madness, and | have, therefore, IN
the exercise of my constitutional
powers, adjourned the Legislature
to convene in London, KY, Feb. g.
81 have taken every precaution
to preserve the peace, that every
citizen may know that life and
property are safe and will be pro-
tected with every resource OF the
commonwealth. l trust that IN
this laudable effort l will have the
support of every law-abiding citi-
zen of Kentucky.

"Governor of Kentucky"

FRANKFORT. KY. Jan. 3l.-Never was
there a more complicated political situation
than that which tonight confronts the
politicians of Kentucky, and never was
there one of which it seemed so difficult to
form an accurate guess at the outcome.
The Republican party. which two days
ago was vainly striving to hold its men,
bers in their seats on the floor of the
House, and which seemed almost power
vigorous, and carrying things with high
hand. The poweriessness of the Repub-
licans of two days ago is more than
equaled by the apparent heIplessness of
the Democrats to-day.
All day long the Democrats have been
groping around trying TO find some way
in which they could seat I'm the Governors

lies slowly dying OF the wound inflicted
by the bullet or an assassin. No matter
which way the Democrats turned they

purposes only. There was no bluff about IL.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 81
William Goebel was shortly before
9 o'clock tonight sworn in as Gov
ernor of Kentucky, and j. {. w.
Beckham a few minutes later took
the oath of Lieutenant Governor.
The oath was administered by
Chief Justice .Hazelrigg, of the
Court of Appeals. The plan to
make Goebel Governor was set IN
motion early in the afternoon. A
statement was prepared saying
that the boards which had heard
the contests for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor had decided
In favor of Goebel and Beckham;
that the boards intended to report
their findings to the Legislature,
but that they had been prevented
from so doing by the action of
Governor Taylor in declaring the
Legislature adjourned. The state
ment then goes on to say that the
members of the Legislature were
driven from place to place by the
militia and threatened with arrest
whenever they attempted to hold a
meeting. 1t was declared the be-
lief of all the signers of the state
ment that Goebel and Beckham
were the legally elected Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, and
each man, as he signed the paper,
announced that he voted for the
adoption of the majority report of
the contest boards, which declared
Goebsl and Beckham to be the
men rightfully entitled to the
Offices. The statement in full is
as follows:

Tho fact that the entire railway sys-
tenn of the Philippine islands at pres

quated pattern, having length Of less
than 125 miles. gives some idea Of the
neglect of this economic form OF travel
and transportation under the long
Spanish regime. says Cassier's Maga-
sine. The road intersects the rich
peninsula northwest Of Manila and
connects that city with Dagupan, a
town on the east coast of the island Of
Luzon, which will eventually become
an important one. To be exact, the
length Of the line 10 12i miles. The
gauge Is three feet ak inches, and
the ties are of the finest hardwood. OBJ
tained from the forests along the line.
On the entire length there are sixty
iron bridges. As compared with the
fairly substantial character of the
roadbed, the rolling stock Is very
light In speed and capacity the loes-
motives are insignificant, being Of less
than ten tons burden. The usual
speed varied from fifteen to twenty
miles an hour, and when the Ameri-
can troops took possession their rail-
roadiug astonished the natives, the
speeds being frequently doubled. Com
partment coaches are used, and these
are divided into three classes or apart
ments, each apartment seating eight
passengers. The few hrst-class
coaches are provided with comfortable
cane chairs, while the second-class
apartments have rough wooden
benches and the third class are bare
and are usually crowded with natives
carrying baskets and bundles of al!
descriptions. An ordinary train is
made up of eight or ten carriages. most
of them third class. and the fare ranges
from two to five cents, Mexican. per
mile. The bulk of the freight now car
ried Is being made up of rice. sugar,
hemp and building material, and the
rates on all classes Of tranic are con-
