Sir William McCormack, the president of the Royal College cf Surgeons, makes a most interesting report in the London Lancet as to the astonishingly small injury done by Mauser bullets as shown by his experience in the Boer war. He tell of seventeen cases which by his past experience he would have diagnosed as fatal bu1 which showed speedy recovery. The Mauser bullet makes a very small wound, and the entrauce and exit holes rapidly heal up, there being generally no mangling of the tlesh. Lungs are generally pierced through, and in many similar cases where it would seem certain that some internal organ must have been injured, there is easy recovery with comparatively little inconvenience. Altogether the modern weapon is pronounced very numane. The Klondike Kiver jvnil Daxvson City are both in British territory. THE NERVES OF WOMEN ~ Lydla E.

Wednesday sworn lu as Governor of Kentucky find J. C. W. Beckham a few minutes Inter took the oath of Lieutenant-Governor. The oath was administered "to both men by Chief Justice Hazelrigg, of the Court of Appeals. Mr. Goebel, as soon as he was assured that he was legally Governor of Kentucky, took prompt action regarding the military arm of the service. Two orders were quickly prepared for his signature, the j first of which discharged Adjutaut-Ganeral Daniel Collier from office and appointed General Job B. Castleman. of Louisville, as his successor. The second was directed to the commanders of the militia now stationed in this city, dlreoting them to return to their homes. The plan to make Goebel Governor was set in motion early In the afternoon. A statement was prepared faying that the boards which had heard t'.m contests for Governor and Lieutenant Governor had decided in favor of Goebel and Beckham, and that the boards intended to report " * * *- - 1 k.. t. ttieir iinaings to nm jun^isuuuro, uui iui? . they hnd beea preveuted from so doing by the notion or Governor Taylor in declaring th? Legislature adjourned; The statement 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. It was declared the belief of all the signers of the statement that Ooebei and Beckham wera the legally elected Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, and each man, as ho signed the paper, announced that ho voted for the adoption of the majority report of the contest boards, which declared Goebel and Bechkam to be the men rightfully entitled to the office. The statement Is signed by u majority of the inombers of both houses. Until this unexpected and unlookod-for aetion the Republicans had the upper hand in the light. Oovernor Taylor at 10 o'clock a. m. issued the followlug proclamation: "To the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky: "Whereas. X state of insurrection now prevails la the Stat* of Kentucky, and especially in Frankfort, the capital thereof. By virtue of the authority vested in me by tiie Constitution of Kentucky, I do hereby by this proclamation adjourn at once tbe General Assembly of the State of Kentucky, to meet at London, Laurel Couuty.

"By Caleb Powers, Secretary of State." All day through the streets of Frankfort soldiers marched and countermarched. Drills in the street were frequently held, in j order thr.t the men might b^ warmed by exercise after thoy had remained in the bitiug wind. Around the penitentiary was a line of troops, in tho Opera House was a guard, three companies stood at rest in the opeu space in front of the Capitol Hotel, sentries patrolled every side of the building In I whloh former Governor Bradley resides, nnd a detachment of infantry held the Court House against tlie possible coming | of the members of the Legislature with the I intention of declaring that not William S. j Taylor, but William Goebel was the lawful head and chief executive of the Commonwealth or Kentucky. Copies of the Governor's proclamation wore sent to the State House. Lour lines of infantry were drawn up on each side of the liali with llxed bayonets. At the foot of the stairs leading to the legislative halls stood Colonel Williams, and behind him a detachment of soldiers, completely blocking up the ?t:ifr. Colonel Williams | carried iu his hand a large bundle of j papers, which he handed to each member > of the House as they pa9?ed him. It | wa9 a copy of Governor Taylor's proclamation. Colonel Williams permitted Clerk Lee, Assistant Stone, and a few Representatives to pass up stnirs. Then the main body came tramping through the doorway nnd they were stopped by the soldiers in an iustant. Loud cries and exclamations filled the air and Colonel Williams, mounting half way up the -Mlrs, shouted: "Gentlemeu, I bold In my hands a proclamation issued tiy the. Governor of Kentucky, which I will read." . ' He then read the proclamation iu a loud i voice and directed an orderly to pass cop! ies of tho proclamation out iutotbe cjrowd.

Then loud above the tumult came n voice I clear and sharp: "We nre dealing with a pack of heat'ueu ! and hounds. Let'.? go to the Opera House." Shouts of approval greeted this proposal, nnd out of the door and down tlit? broad steps streamed the crowd, hastening along St. Clair street toward the Opera House. Close behind came General Collier on t e run. He shouted orders to Lieutenant-Col' onel Gray, who was standing by the steps: a few quick orders were eiven by that officer. and away toward the Opera House went the soldiers on the dead run. It was uot a parade. They ran up the middle of the street and easily distanced the legislators, who took the sidewalk, and handicapped themselves t>y the numerous nosts. boxes and pedestrians that (Hied | the way. When the lawmakers arrived all they obtained tor their run of a quarter of a "mile was the privilege of standing on the opposite .side of tlie street and gazing at the Opera House, the front of which was occu pled by a panting line of soldiers in double rank, with flxad bayonet*. General Lyons, th? oldest and most corpulent man in the House, bad, despite his physical drawbacks, managed to beat the soldiers and get into the ball. He was politely requested to come out, which ho did, with the re mark: "It does not look as though a quorum will pet in." ThomaH Heffner, owner of the Opera House, demanded that the members of the Legislature should be admitted. It was private property, he claimed, and the militia had no right to keep anybody from it. He was completely ignored by Lleatenant-Colonel Or^y. Speaker Trimble stepped up to Lieatenant-Colonel Gray and demanded entrance to the hall. It was refused. Turning around, Mr. Trimble addressed the cBfod: "Gentlemen, we are denied admlssloa*to the Opera House. We will uow^djounfcio the Court House." Away went the crowd with good-natured yells of derision at the, ndldler*. who hifl orders to remalu at the'Opera House, and could not leave. The triumph of the lawmakers was shortlived. Before they bud gone one hundrod feet from the Opera House, around the corner swung a secend company of soldiers directly in their path. The second heat of the race was now on, aud away woct the digniilrtd Senators and Representatives down the street, in u cloud of dust, yelling like a pack of Indians. Alongside run the soldier?. It was the same story overagain, and the legislators worn permitted to look at the outside of tbe Court House, while the soldiers held the patb. Generul Collier bad arrived by this time, and Speaker Trimble, auvancing rrom mecrowu, sum: "Don't shoot, Genernl." "I am not going to create any tronble. 1 won't shoot unless I have to," was the reply. 'We wish to be admitted to the Court House," said Mr. Trimble. Both men were smiling. "It cuunot be done, gentlemen," said the Geoeral calmly. ? This settled ft for the time being, at least, and the crowd melted away, determined, however, to hold a meeting later, somewhere, and somehow. Speaker Trimble announced that "the Legislature will now udjourn subject toj my call." Ali the crowds had dispersed. It was decided by the military authorities that 1( another attempt at meetiug was made to arrest all concerned in the gathering nnc1 lock them up.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT MEETS. All Parties United Pur the Vigorous Prosecution ui tlie War. London (By Cable).?The sevonth session of the fourteenth Parliament of Queen Victoria opened with tho customary for malities. The Gentleman Usher ot the Black Rod, General Sir M. 8. BIddulpb. summoned the Commons to the House ol Lords, where the Lird High Chancellor, E irt Salisbury, read tno Q n-u's speech. Her Majesty exhorted all Englishmen to stand by the Government and prosecute the war against the Boers until victory is won. "I am confident," she says. "I shall nol look to my subjects in vain when I exhori them to sustain and renew their exertion* uutil they have brought tho struggle for the maintenance of ,my Empire and tht assertion of its supremacy in South Africa to a victorious conclusion." The valor of the English troops is highly praised and Her Majesty expresses great sorrow at the awful loss of life. Gratillcatlou Is also expressed at the loyalty shown by the colonies. The debates were not remarkable i either house. Lord Salisbury's was the strongest speecu ot tn? aay, uua was iuii of dignity and power. The opposition loaders w?re uot aggressive iu either house. The Irish members have celebrated the Boer victories by voting unanimously foi reunlou oi their party, and Mr. Chamber lata has thus done soinethiug iu South Africa for Irish Home Rule: The one thing that stood out In both Houses was the absolute unanimity of botn parties ou one point. Every, apealcer was emphatic In this, that tiie war should be prosecuted to its end with a determination and completeness that would leave nc room for-the possibility of Its recurrence ft South Africa. , 1 % GIRL RELEASED FROM THE HARE,VI Italy's Ultimatum to tlie Turkish Gov-, eminent Was Heeded.

From the oater edge of the Capitol J grounds to the steps of the Capitol BnlldjDg the distance Is about 300 feet. T'wo:hirds of this had been passed, and the sen were walking slowly, when suddenly* jhot rang out from & large three-story < Dulldlng which stands fifty feet east of the Capitol Building. ...As the shot was heard, .Goebel, gitve a . luick involuntary exclamat!o&^d|l^ and ' riifdfi an effort to draw his owqf revolver.

Hume, in the nosement of the Capitol Hotel, about a thousand leet from the spot where the shooting occurred. Here ho was laid on a sofa, while Dr. Hume made a hasty exam- j (nation, pronouncing tne wound to be of a nature that must cause death in a short time. Goebel, who showed great fortitude iud courage throughout, smiled weakly us (10 heard the verdict and feebly rolled his head from side to side in token of dissent from the opinion expressed by the physician. j Harltind Whittaker, a farmer from Butler County^ the home county of Governor Taylor, is now iu jail at Louisville, charged with the crime. There is no direct eviience against Whittaker, and he was plnced mder arrest more because he was catight irouud the Capitol building when the shots svere Ilred than for any other apparent reason. He denies ia the most positive manner that he had any connection with the dbooting or knew anything about it. The republican Statu olliclals and members of the Legislature, without exception, denounced the shooting in the most unmeasured terms. Governor Taylor iminedlately caused a small address to be published, in which he declared the affair to be a disgraco and an outrage, and calling for the most sober condemnation. He sent orders at onco to Adjutant-General Collier, directing him to take steps for the preservation of order. General Collier Is a Republican and is v opposed to Mr. Goebel. He telephoned to :he armory, half a mile distaut, directing tlie local infantry company, which was stationed there under command of Captain Walcott, to proceed at ouce to the Capitol grounds, tnke possession of them and tliH approaches, allowing nobody to enter the gates. Twenty minutes after the shooting Captain Walcott and his men marched across the front of the Capitol julldlug and halted at the foot of the steps, j Orders were issued to outside companies j throughout the State to make ready at I once to come to Frankfort, the entire State j Guard being called Into service. It was 1 feared that the news of the shooting would j so inflame the Democrats that tbey would come to Frankfort in swarms, while the mountaineers would lose no time in coming to the capttal for the purpose of upholding their party principles.
