Frankrort a Military Camp-Ooebel Slowly Dying-Doctors Ulvo tUp any Ilope . MIlitary Hold Key to situation. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-Senator oebel passed a very comfortable night but was worse this morning. his pulse increased to 144, tempera ture 10IJ and respiration 44. Dr. Welch gives him one chance in a thousand to live. ;The political situation is un btanged. There is little prospect that the republicans will yield the offices, but the legislature may be allowed to meet. It is denied this morning that General Castleman -was appointed adjutant general. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-Goebel is much worse. The head nurse ap peared at the sick room door a short time ago and stated that the hot bath had been abandoned and hot water bags applied to the body in ead. The doctors say that he may e an hour or two, but beyond that : ey cannot predict. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. I -It is re garded as certain this morning that the democratic members of the legis lature will refuse to go to London. The republicans might go there and go through the form of throwing out the contest for governor. In that case the democratic majority could choose some other meeting place and go through the form of seating Goe bel, or of seating Beckham if Goe bel dies and then have the troops ordered away by the new Governor. It is believed that the court of ap peals, which is democratic, would back this majority administration. In reply to hundreds of telgrams offering the assistance of armed men which are pouring in upon the dem ocrats, the answer is sent to be pat ient that they will come out all right. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-It appears that the armed soldiers in Frankfort hold at least momentarily, the key to the situation. If they ccntinue to obey the orders of Governor Taylor, he retains the control which he now holds. Should they decide other wise, they might seat the Goebel men in power. The soldiers are in a quandry waiting developments. Many re publican office holders said they had no idea of resisting the governor, if they only knew who he is. Other things being equal, they will stand by Taylor. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-A com pany of militia from Mtorgantown ar rived this morning and marched to the capitol, where the main forces are. Taylor has determined to hold on. Hie said to a friend today. "1 am governor and I do not intend to give up.", Boxes of amunition are being de livered to adjutant general Collier and all the offices are packed ceiling high with cartridges. The greatest activity prevails in the capitol grounds. Blanke,ts for the soldiers are arriving. The report that Lieutenant Gray, of the First regiment has resigned is pronounced .absurd by Commander Williams. An attempt was made by members of the legislature this morning to meet. A dozen members were' at the capitol gate headed by Represen tative Charlton. Bayonets crossed prevented their entrance. Guards asked (.harlton for his pass. He claimed admission as a member of Sthe legislature but was told nobody could enter without a pass. It was reported that General Cas Stlemarr would come in on the 10:30 o'clock but he failed 'to do so. It was denied by the democrats that ~the position of the adjutant general had ever been offered him. The failure of Goebel to appoint un adjutant general leaves the troops entirely in the hands of the republi cans for the time being and has less ened all chance of trouble from the poldiers. The soldiers will continue o obey the orders of General Collier ecause no confhecting orders will onfuse them. Thiis afternoon Dr. mie said that Goebel's kidneye were those of a dead man and he can not live long in that condition. Would not be surprised to see him dio at any moment. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-At nine oclock tonight Goebel was resting easy and a slight hope was express ed for his-recovery. The democratic members of the legislature this evening demanded an entrance to the capitol, but the troops prevented their entrance. There has been no disturbance of importance. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1.-William Goebel was, shortly before 9 o'clock last night, sworn in as governor of Kentucky, and J. C. W. Beckham a few minutes later took the oath of lieutenant governor. The oath was administered to both men by Chief Justice Hazelrigg, of the court of ap peals. The plan to make Goebel gover nor was set in motion early in the afternoon. A statement was pre pared saying that the boards which had heard the contests for governor and lieutenant governor had decided in favor of Goobel and Beckham; the boards intended to report their findings to the legislature, lut they had been prevented from doing so by the action of Governor Taylor in declaring the legislature adjourned. The statement then goes on to say that the members of the legislature were driven from place to polace by the militia and threatened with ar rest whenever they attempted to hold a meeting. It was declared the belief of all the signers of the state ment that Goebel and Beckman were the legally elected governor and lieutenant governor and each man as he signed the statement announced that he voted for the adoption of the majority report of the contest boards, which declared Goebel and Beckham to be the men rightfully elected to the office. It was slow work obtaining the signatures of the members of the house and senate, and although the work was in progress all the after noon it was not until evening that the necessary number of signatures had been obtained. As soon as the last man actually needed had affixed his signature word was sent to the residence of Chief Justice Hazelrigg, of the court of appeals. He came at once to the Capitel Hotel, passed directly upstairs to the room of Mr. Goebel and administered the oath of office. Mr. Goebel was propped up with pillows and was able to raise his hand with the great est difficulty as he listened to the words of Judge Hazelrigg. When the oath had been given Mr. Goebel sank back exhausted, the ef fort having been almost two much for his strength. Immediately upon hdaving the room where ho had sworn in Mr. Goebel, Jfudge Hlazelrigg went to an adjoining room, where he swore in Mr. Beckman as lieutenant governor. Mr. Goobol, as soon as he was as sured that he was legally gevernor of Kentucky, took prompt action re garding the military arm of the ser vice. Two orders were quickly pro. pared for his sigr-ature, the first of which discharged Adjutant General Collier from office and appointed Gen. Jno. B. Castleman, of Louis ville as his successor. The second was directed to the commanders of the militia stationed in this c,thy, directing them to return to their homes. TAYLOR'S APPEAL TO McKINLEY-AsKs EcoGNITION AS GovEilNoRt OF RENT UCKY. Washington, D. 0., Feb. 1.-The president received a long message today from Governor Taylor relating at length the condition in Kentucky, declaring that he considers himself elected governor of Kentucky and asserts that the condition of affairs is critical, Hie says that riots may occur at anytime and cause much bloodshed and that it is doubtful whether he has power to control- the situation. He appeals to the presi dent to end the matter and secure peace by recognizing him as gover nor of Kentucky. The appeal very earnestly asks the aid of the admuin istration _and a reply is earnestly re q uested1 HANDS OFF OF KENTUCKY. CAEINIET )ECID)E13 AGA INST FIC1)ICHAI, I NTElEISNLt. Another I endinIg Democrat Sihot From A nt buth-Volunrteers Offer Their berylcee to Fight Against Taylor. Wasbington, D. C., Feb. 2.--The cabinet meeting this evening decided that the situation in Kentucky is not such as to require federal interfer once. Consequently the president will take no action under present conditions. '.'his decision followed a strong protest mad,by a Kentucky democratic delegation, headed by Senator Blackburn, that any inter ference by the administration would precipitate roit and bl,odshed. Frankfort, Ky., Fel. 2.- Late this afternoon both houses of the legis lature, after being refused admission to the State house, met in the Capi tol hotel. Governor Taylor went to Louis ville to consult with his party friends as to the future course for himself and his legislators. An injunction was issued in the local courts this morning to restrain General Collier and Kel .ucky troops from interfering with legislators in the performance of their duties in the State house. Private Walker, who attempted to serve the notice with another on Governor Taylor, was captured by troops and is held in the State house under guard. This is the first sign of serious trou ble as the democrats declare it is an outrage and threaten to rescue him. If they make a move there roay be fighting. Walker got as far as the ante room door where he pinned the notice. A soldier tore it down and threw it in the fire. Walker attempt ed to escape but was caught by troops. Word was sent to Walker's wife that he should suffer no harm. Nobody is now allowed to enter the State house, not even reporters. Middlesboro, Ky., Feb. 2.-It is reported lire that Hon. Wm. S. Wright, a prominent democratic pol itician, was assissinated at Boone Fork yesterday Five shots are said to have been fired at him from am bush with Winchesters, of which two hit. Boone Fork is remote fxom Middlesboro and it is impossible to get more than a meagre statement. The democratic members of the legislature announce that they will offer a reward of $50,00 for the assassin of Goebel. Certain indi viduals have volunteered payment of the reward and offer to deposit the cash until the legislature appro priates it. Dispatches were received this morning from various points in Ken tucky and report that Kentuckians all over the State are willing to take up arms if necessary to sustain the Goebol government. Colonel Gaither, of Hlarrodsburg, heretofore a strong anti -Goebel man, is willing to form a regiment. Dr. Frazee, one of Morgan's cavalrymen, telegraphs from Richmond, Ky., that he has enlisted fifty men in a few hours. Volunteers are organ izing rapidly this morning in Lex ington. Scores of telegrams have come from other points to Goebol pledging military support. None of the offers have been accepted. What A WVonderful Discovery Is Painkiller!
