Modern Bullets Humane.
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.

Mountain Dlatrlct.
Frankfort, Ky. (Special).?William Goebel
wii3 shortly before 9 o'clock p. in. 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. Ky.,
Tuesday, the CiU day of February, 1900, at
12 o'clock.
"Given under my hand at Frankfort, Ky.,
this 30th day of January, 1900, at 9 o'clock
p. m. W. S. Taylob,
"Governor or Kentucky.
"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.

"Is it in Kentucky?" yelled another

J
The good hum or 30011 died away, liow- [
ever, mid shouts of Indignation were hoard '
from the Democratic members.
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.

Washington, D. C. CSpecial).?No inter

troubles is looked for by the officials
here, at least not so long as the Stat# authorities
are able to control the situation.
If, however, the situation should bocome

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

sen were walking slowly, when suddenly*

In less than a minute a crowd of mea*
was around Gbebel. Hm was hustllr carried
to the office of Dr. E. E. 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.
