Frakfort, Ky, February 2.-I'he condd- tion of William Goebe1 is tonight consid- cred better than at any time since he was shot. The iron will and determination of the wouded man that he will not die by an assassin's bullet is, however. still consid- cred the main factor in sustaining him, but tonight the attending physicians, for the first time, hold out some hope for his ult- mate recovery. Governor Goebel secured some sleep during the day, which increased his strength perceptibly, and though un- favorable symptoms showed themselves at times, the sick man always rallied well.
 Compared with twenty-four hours ago, his condition shows a decided improve ment. While his pulse and respirauons are still high, his kindneys, the condition of which last night was regarded as the most unfavorable symptom, are performing their functions in a more normal manner, thus

Frakfort, Ky, February 2-Lieuteant Governor J. c. w. Beckham will tomorrow be acting governor in place of Governor Goebel, who is incapacitated from perform ing the duties of the office. A physicians certificate was made out tonight declaring that Goebel was unable, and will for some time be unable to act, and by virtue of this, the reins of power will be placed inthe hands of Lieutenant Governor Beckham.
 He will have the power according ito the democrats of appointing all ofhcers ohat are selected by the governor, and he VIII probably make these appointments without delay.
 The first announcement to be made will proIbably be that of General John B. Cas- tleman, of Louisville, as adjutant general. It is stated positively by the democratic leaders that General Castleman VIII ac- cept the position as soon as 1t Is offered to him, and it will be offered without de- lay.

 A number of republican representatives also left today for London to arrange the preliminary matters incident to the meet ing. It is the present intention of Governor Tayior to go to London in person, although developments may alter Glis purpose before the time set for leaving.
 Arrangements have been made for spe- cial train, it is claimed that will make the run to London in the shortest possible time. The republicans deny that Governor Tay- Tor will leave the capitol building, every precaution having been made to keep the matter secret.

 FOR GOEBELS RECOVERY

His tempera- ture is 10Ok. his respiration 3S and pulse 12O Should the wounded man succeed in pass ing through the night we'll, his physicians express the hope that his recovery. though necessarily slow, will be sure.
 Al present Governor Goebel brea thes al- together from his left lung" said Dr. Wn- Hams tonight. "Clotted blood has almost entirely coated his wounded right lung, which, of course, forms a natural band-i age. and prevents further bleeding, but later will prove somewhat source of danger. The clotted blood win decompose in about eight days, and thsG it may be necessary to remove a section of rib in order to remove the decomposed blood. The wound will then be drained and the danger will then be from secondary hem orrhage."

 Free State

London, February B. 4:10 a. m.-Helio- grams flashed from Eadysmith three days ago say that the Boer investment lines then were thinning and that the burghers were moving in forces toward the Tugela, indicating that collision was expected there. This intelligence bears out other signs that General Butler purposes fresh attack.
 The war office continues to reveal noth- ing of what has happened in Natal. With out exception the military critics regard with dismsy the prospect of renewal of the assault unless General Butler has been heavily reinforced; and there is nothing to indicate that this Is the case
 Lord Kitchener has been travelling from army to army in northern Cape Colony, and General French, by instructions is now in Capetown consulting with Lord Roberts. The engineering constructions are proceed ing at Modder river, suggesting that Lord MetLluen's fortified camp has been selected as the base from which to invade the Free State Numerous sidings, platforms and warehouses are being built and perma- nent railway bridge is well advanced.
 German strategists assert that the to- geography of the country would make dn- yasion easier from Kimberley and the dis | trict northward than from the more rugged region Of Sterkstroom or Colesfoerg. There fore, they infer that the combined British forces will overwllelm the Boers at Ma gersfontein and first relieve Kimberley as an incident of the invasion.
 General Buffers retreat" says the Capetown correspondent of the Standard, "has resulted in a recrudescence of req sonable talk here"
 Bitter Feeling of the Dutch . The bitter feeling of the Dutch against the British has possibly suggested the op- portuneness of ,an organized attack on Sir Alfred Milner by the ministerialist press, which has published article, believed to have been written by MT. Merriman, secretary of the Cape treasury, demanding Sir Alfred Miners recall.
 Bund is expected to consider resolution expressing disapproval of "the policy wnich led ut) to she war;" and urging peace on fair ergns.'
 It is learned that the war office intends to increase the regular army to fifteen bat taions of infantry adding these to the existing regiments

SPENCER WILKINSON
Tells How the War Should Be Con
 ducted.

London. February 3-Spencer Wilkinson, who devotes his article in the Morning Post today to the principles upon which war should be conducted, as applicable to South Africa, says:
 "The Boers have no great cities. Pretoria and Bloemfontein are not centers of nation- al life, like Paris and London. To occupy them, therefore, would have little effect un- less after the defeat of the Boer army. The Boer power Is the body of citizens consti- tuting the army. It is, therefore, our first business to crush the biggest army, name- ly, that in the vicinity of Ladysmith. Though there have been apparently troops in South Africa, General Butler has never had sufficient numbers for that purpose. Accordingly the outlines of the war reveal no bold and clear conception.
 Until the sstrategical idea emerges ana controls the whole operation there can be no decided turn in the tide.'

 "A Boer scout was captured yesterday by Col. Pumers outposts, and a small party was sent out to reconnoiter certain hills. They ascended the wrong kopje and blum dered upon a Boer fortress, armed with a Maxim. Fortunately they managed to es- cape without casualties"
 Later dispatches from Gaberons, dated January 26 says: .'Colonel Ptumer used his 12-pounder on the Boer position for the first time today The Boers responded speedily and accurately, but did no dam age,'
