tentatively, however, and under le-
gal protest and CONTEST, instituted
by Ithe Democratic appellants
against the ruling of the Returning
Board, proceeded to intrench him
self, not for legal, but for a ply
steal contest.
The Executive office was con-
verified into an armed camp. A
lawless body of men was collected
and brought to Frankfort to serve
as supports to two or three CON-
panies of militia which, differed
by Republicans exclusively, were
already assembled. The Democra
tic Legislature became prisoner
in its own capital, its members in
imminent peril of their lives and
its committees chased about the
streets by squads of soldiers. The
Court of Appeals, wa. ned of i'm
pending assassination, had to come
to Louisville to hold its sessions,
secured against threatened murder
and military surveillance. The in
The inevitable came to pass. All
this array of force, with its men,
&C. of death, proving insufficient
to overawe the Democrats of the
Lie 5islature, result was had to the
final stroke prearranged to do its
deadly work in this precise event;
nd puff of curling smoke out
iuf window of the Executive Of
fer occupied by the Republican
Governor and his Republican
friends, William Goebel is shot
down in his tracks while on his
way to the discharge of his official
duties.
The Executive Building is i'm
mediately surrounded by troops.
Access is denied the local constab-
ulary. Martial law supplants the
Civil law. The Writ of Habeas
Corpus is ridiculed and denied.
The Legislature is suddenly and
violently dispersed. AS suddenly
it is called to assemble, not in one
of the many cities Oh: towns in the
State, such as Louisville or Lex
ington, where it's proceedings
would be unmolested, but in an in
accessible village among the noun
tains, whittier, as might be reas-
onably expected, no Democrat
could go without the risk of his
life.
In the face of such discourage
ments the Democrats pursued
their contest according to law, and
according to law it was awarded
them by the highest tribunal in
the land. Concurrent with the
final decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in their
favor, the Republican Cover nor,
who had held Office only under a
tentative title, subject to after re-
vision and decision, fed from Ken
lucky to Indiana, having arranged
with the Republican GOVERNOR of
the latter State for a safe retreat.
There, with one of his associ ties,
he remains today, secure against
arrest and extradition.
These are the simple facts; they
ire met by the Republicans with
40 denial, but to parry them it is
yet up that Goebel was bad man,

Senator Tillman suggested that there
should be frequent conferences and a
continued effort to agree upon the main

There was quite a general response to
this suggestion, and the opinion was
fairly unanimous that the party should

Bapst, councillor of the French Embassy in
Constantnople, directing him, the CORE
spondent of The Associated Press is authori-
tatively informed to present to-day to Tewfik
Pacha, Ottoman Minister of Foreign Affairs, a
note asking how the Turkish Government pro-
poses to pay the Lorando claim, and demanding
the execution of the Sultans trade dealing with
that matter. The note Will also request salts
faction regarding the rights of France which
defined in the various capitulations and
treaties. and which in some cases have not been
respected and in others have been encroacned
upon by Turkey. This declaration of what has
been done bears out the statement cabled
yesterday to The Associated Press regarding
the intentions of the French Government.
Admiral Caard is expected to reach his des-
tination tomorrow. The Foreign Office has re-
ceived no news from him since his division left
the other divisions of the Mediterranean squad
ron en- route for Turkish waters four days ago.
II IS pointed out that the absence of news is
not surprising. as the instructions 10 Admiral
Caillard were TO steer due south and to avoid
passing IN sight of Bonifacio. Corsica. or trav-
ersug the Strait of Messina, in order to prevent
his movements being signalled. The vessels OF
the division carried only normal supply Of
COAL but this would be much more than sufi-
cient TO enable them TO steam 1,50O miles. the
estimated distance they must cover before
reaching their destination.
II is expected that Admiral Caillard Will he
