PLAN FOR A SETTLEMENT.
Ti«yl- r to >ig;r» ari Agreement
R .i c-it <1 1 li Ij li isvil 1»*.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 6.—Governor
Taylor has re.used for tho time being,
at 1. ast, to sign the agreement reached
k:: night in Louisville. He was closeted
for a long time this morning with Gen-
era; Umiel L;udsay, T. L Edelen aud
T. H. lkker of Louisville, and finally
to.d me gentlemen t. at he wished time
to c< usider aud would let them know
when he had reached a decision.
A peace conference held at the Gait
House in Louisville last night between
seven representatives of the Republican
party aud seven representatives of the
Democratic party resulted iu the unan-
iuious signing of an agreement embody
ing sis specific propositions, which
promise a settlement of the party differ
ences which have brought about two
state governments in Keutucky. This
agreement is iu substance as io Iows:
1 That if the general assembly in
joint session shall acopt a resolution
rautymg their recent action adopting
ttie contest reports seating Goebel and
Beckham, the coutestees, W. S Taylor
and John Marshall, shall submit with
out further protest.
That all parties shall unite in an
ii'ort to bring ab mt such a modification
of the election law as will provide for
non-partisan election boards and insure
free and fair elections.
3. That conditions shall remain in
statu quo until Monday, the general
assembly meeting and a ‘.jouring from
dav to day until that time.
4. That nothing shall be done to
hinder or prevent a joint session of the
general assembly for taking action on
the ratification resolution.
5. That tne state contest board shall
meet and adjourn from day to day untii
Tuesday without taking any action on
the contests for minor state offices.
This postponement is suggested in order
that tlie action of the general assembly
on the ratification resolution may be
taken first.
6 That the state troop3 shall be re
moved from the state capital at once,
though with all necessary precaution
for the public safety.
?. That the Republican officials and
officers of the state guard shall have
immunity from charges of treason,
usurpation, courtmartial or any other
such offenses.
Umil Monday, while the situation is
iu staiu quo, Governor Taylor will re
main in possession of the executive
buildings, while the Republicans will
recogmza him and the Democrats will
recognize Governor Beckham as gov
ernor.
The course of events in the immedi
ate future depends largely upon Gov
ernor Taylor.
Governor Taylor Ef>joiiif><1.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 3.—Judge Can
trell of the circuit court this morning
granted a temporary injunction re
straining Governor Taylor from inter
fering with the meetings of the legis
lature aud from removing the seat of
the legislature to London, Ky. The
temporary injunction is to remain bind
ing until Feb. 8, when the hearing to
make it permanent will be beard before
Judge Cantrell at Georgetown, Ky.
McKinley Keeps Hands Off.
Washington, Feb. 2.—After the cab

ment was made: “The president has
decided that no canse has yet arisen to
justify the intervention of the national
government in Kentucky and has so in
formed the governor.” Some signifi
cance may attach to the use of the word
‘‘governor” in this statement inasmuch
us the reply was directed to Taylor.
One Minute Cough Cure, cures.
That U what it was made for.
The British forces under Fuller have
again advanced and will make a final,
desperate effort to reach General White
and his beleaguered garrison before the
latter is compelled to surrender to the
Boers, who are reported to be constantly
strengthening their positions.
iho war office is silent’ as regards
General Ball er, but there is every reason
to believe be is continuing his move
ment upon Ladysmith. Those who are
in a position to know confirm his re-
p rrou recrossing of the Tugela river
and believe he was engaged Friday.
The message from Ladysmith Thurs
day, saving the Boer forces were leav
ing v ~ain and that :lie besieging force
was considerably diminished, tends to
confirm it.
Warren’s troops on Wednesday were
resting sooth of the Tugela, whiie Gen
eral Lyttleton's brigade held its posi
tion on ihe north bank.
General Joubert has gone to the Boer
camp on tho Upper Tugela, an apparent
indication that he expects another at
tack on his right.
Major Bathurst, who was wounded
at the battie of Golenso, has arrived at
Southampton on board the Servia. He
savs there are 20,000 Boers at the Tu-
gel.t river, but that General Buffer can
get through if he is prepared ro sacrifice
5.000 or Ij,000 men.
General Charles Tucker, who came
from India to command the seventh
division, has gone up the Madder river.
The reported activity of Colonel
Piumer’s force near Crocodffe Poot is a
good sign that a strong effort will be
made by him to push through to Mafe-
king.
Burgher Casualties.
A dispatch from Ladysmith, undated,
via Spearman’s Camp, Feb. 2. says:
“Native deserters report the follow
ing field coronets killed in last week’s
fighting: Lombard of Waterburg;
Grobeiair of Bremersdorp; Oppernfan
of Pretoria; Daniel Erasmus of Maga-
liersburg, aud one Free State coronet.
The British artillery broke seven Boer
guns. The Boer casualties were ap
proximately 1.000; though this informa
tion is not confirmed officially.”
Commandant Olivier of the Orange
Free Sra.te. in a speech to the Boers at
Lady Grey, said that his men were al
most surrounded at Stormberg and nn
less recruits were forthcoming he would
be compelled to abandon the position.
It is reported that iu the recent fight
at Ladysmith the Boers kst 1,10. killed
and G00 wounded.
Many colonists who fought at Storm
berg are said to have gone back to their
farms and refused to return to active
service, though threatened with death.
Among thoso are some conspicuous
burghers, who originally invited the
Free Staters t < invade Cape Colony.
Very little news of the situation in
South Africa Has been given out iu
London during the past 24 hours. Much
work is in progress on tli8 southern
frontier of the Free Stare, but the de
tails are being held back untii results
can be reported. This is the impres
sion made by such dispatches as are
all wed to come through front Stork
stroem and French’s camp, near Coles-
berg.
Tne report that the Boer losses at
Spion Kop of Wednesday last exceeded
1.000 dead, although unconfirmed, has
created a favorable impression aud very
few are disposed to discredit it.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts has noti
fied the war office that 40 Highlanders
who were previously reported killed at
Magersfonteiu are prisoners at Pretoria.
Bi-speraii- Fighiiiig.
A special dispatch from Durban, Na
tal, dated Feb. 5, says:
“There is no definite news from Gen
eral Buffer, but it is reported that there
was heavy fighting yesterday.”
It was just oue week today that Gen
eral Buffer announced that he would be
in Ladysmith in a week. He has not
kept his word.
The war office statement that it has
received no confirmation of the report
that General Buffer has recrossed the
Tugeia river has failed to shake public
belief that operations of tremendous im
portance are proceeding at ihe Tugela
and it is thought that either the denial
was prompted by a desire to keep the
military movements as secret as possi
ble until something is accomplished, or
that General Buffer is keeping the home
officials iu the dark pending results.
It is obviously extreme; , difficult to
extract tff9 truth from the conflicting
statements shrouding General Buffer’s
movement, but the commentators agree
that the aggregate of tho items tend to
confirm the belief that movements of
importance are in progress.
It is true that the correspondents at
General Buffer’s headquarters convey
the impression that his mam force is
stiff south of the Tugeia, but it is easily
conceivable that the dispatches are all
censored.
Napoleonic Campaign.
No news at all has been received from
the armies co-operating in Cape Colony
and there is much speculation in Lon
don as to the plans of Lord Roberts and
tho mysterious movements of Lord
Kitchener. The general idea is that
they are preparing some Napoleonic
campaign that will bring the war to a
6peeay finish.
Dispatches from Spearman’s Camp,
dated Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
are published in Loudon this morning.
On Friday heliographic communica
tion with Ladysmith was resumed, mes
sages passing freely; the Boers were
busy shelling the town, and burial par
ties of Boers were burying their dead at
Spion Kop, though nine days had
elapsed since the battle.
On Saturday the bombardment of
Ladysmith was lighter. From Chieve-
ley Geueral Barton cannonaded the Co-
lenso lines, employing the naval gun.
The Boers, as usual, appeared at Co-
lenso, but retreated when the British
artillery opened.
The day was quiet at Potgieters.
There was no cannonading by the Brit
ish guns. .
The Boers enjoyed this nnmnmty
from attack and could be seen in large
numbers . drying their blankets aud
working to strengthen and add to their
defensive works.
The Boers around Potgieters seemed
intent on watching every movement of
our troops. They could be seen riding
or walking along their works in care
less fashion, numbers of them spying
through their glasses.

SPEER OUT OF THE RACE.
Present State Treasurer Will Not
Stand For Re-Election.
Atlanta, Feb. 6.—State Treasurer
W. J Speer has retired from the race
for re-election to the office which he has
held for two successive terms, aud at
the close of his present service for the
state expects to leave politics for good.
By retiring at this time the state
treasurer leaves the race to Captain R.
E. Park of Bibb, who was his only an
nounced opponent for re-eleccion.
For some months past the health of
the state treasurer has been in a pre
carious condition, and while be had not
been confined to his apartments, it is
the advice of his physician and closer
friends that It would be unwise for him
to undergo the tedium of au active cam
paign at this time.
The five infantry regiments of the
! state have been reformed aud filled up to
| their fuff quota, the Tuird regiment be-
j ing the onty one lacking a company,
j aud iu the course of ten days that va
cancy will be filled.
As a part of tho reorganization the
state for the first time proposes to pay
the armory rent of every command
under its control. The state will also
expend the federal appropriation of $11,-
000 annually for two years running in
order to uniform every man not only in
the infantry, but the cavalry, naval mi
litia aud artillery.

SILVER VASE FOR DEWEY.

People of Savannah Preparinj
ceive the A imiral.
Savannah, Feb. 6.—The Dewey re;
ception committee held a meeting last
night and decided to present to the ad
miral, on the occasion of his visit here
on March 21, a handsome silver vase,
upon which will be engraved appropri
ate designs.
The gift to the admiral, it is said, will
eost about $i 000.
The committee has decided to invite
here on that occasion the military from
neighboring Georgia cities and towns
and with the Savannah military a
creditable parade will be the result.
Elaborate preparations are being made
for the occasion, which will no doubt be
the swellest function Savannah has
known in some years.
STATE COURTS TO DECIDE.
J udr
Newman Has No Jurisdiction
In tile Williams Case.
Atlanta, Feb. 3.— Judge W. T. New
man has declined to take jurisdiction in
the habeas-corpus proceedings in the
case of R. A. Williams and remanded
him into tbo custody of the sheriff of
Morgan county.
Judge Newman held that the state
courts suould pass upou the caso.
It is expected that an effort will be
made to carry the case to the supreme
court.
Toward the close of the hearing in
the federal circuit court Attorney Janies
Davison of Greensboro, who was repre
senting the defendant, sprung a mild
sensation when he asserted that if Wil
liams was taken back to Morgan county
he might suffer personal injury at the
hands of certain of the citizens there.
Solicitor A. W. Butler of the couuty
court of Morgan took exception to the
statement aud said that Williams would
be protected while in Morgan county.
Judge Newman stated at this point that
if he were not positive the defendant
would be provided with ample protec
tion he would doubtless have taken a
different view of the case.
Williams, it will be remebered, was
arrested st ?eral weeks ago for acting as
an emigrant agent without a license.
NO CHANGE WILL BE MADE.

intendent Denham.
Savannah. Feb. 5.—In view of the
numerous rumors that have been float
ing about, Mr. W. B. Denham, the new
general superintendent of the Plant
system, was asked if he contemplated
any official changes in the Plant sys
tem.
His reply was in the negative. Ke
said he did not know of a single change
that was to be made; that he had no
following for whioh he had to oust
good men to make positions.
The assurance was given by the gen
eral superintendent that no one need
entertain any fears for his position on
account of his succession to Major Dun
ham.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 31.—Governor
Taylor announced this morning that he
had not signed the Louisville agree
ment and that no action would be taken
before a late hour in the day. He would
eay nothing to indicate that it was cer
tain he would decide upon anything
even then.
“I am to consult with some gentle
men today,” he said, “and nothing will
be decided until after I see them.”
The gentlemen alluded to are ex-Gov
ernor Bradley and Colonel W. O. P.
Breckinridge, both of whom are Gov
ernor Taylor’s attorneys.
At nocn Governor Taylor had not yet
taken action in regard to the agreement
reached at the Louisville conference,
and will not do so nntil he has had
further conference with his legal ad
visors. This conference will be held
tonight iu the governor’s private room
in tlie executive building.
It is understood that telegrams have
been sent to former Governor Bradley,
Augustus F. Willson, Judge Barr and
David W. Fairlaigh, requesting their
presence at the conference, aud it is ex
pected they will arrive on tonight’s
train.
The conference will probably be a
lengthy one, and it may be far into the
night before any decision is reached by
Governor Taylor in regard to the agree
ment, and possibly he will take no
action until tomorrow. In the mean
time everything is quiet.
No Democratic members of the legis
lature are in Frankfort, and word has
been received that they will not return
nntil they are assured of immunity
from arres* and their forcible convey
ance to London.
Goebrl’s Body Arrives.
The train bearing the remains of Gov
ernor Goebel was scheduled to arrive
here from Covington at about 10:30 a.
m. and a small crowd gathered at the
station at that hour to get a glimpse of
the casket as it was borne to the Capitol
hotel. Slow running time was made,
however, and it was announced that the
train would not arrive until 11:45.
Afterward this time was again changed
to 12:06 p. m., at which time it palled
into the depot.
The day was exceedingly disagreea
ble. A line drizzling rain fell all morn
ing, rendering the country roads, al
ready soft from recent heavy rains,
almost impassible in places, and bat
few people were seen on the streets.
Even in the lobbies of the Capitol hotel
few people were gathered.
Shortly after 11 o’clock the crowds
began to gather around the hotel and
when finally the casket was slowly car
ried up the steps of the north entrance
to the hotel, and thence into the ladies’
large reception room, where they are to
lie in state until tomorrow at noon,
probably 1,000 people were standing
around the entrance and in the streets
surrounding the hotel. Every head was
bared as the remains of the dead Demo
cratic leader were carried into the hotel.
Soldiers Called In.
In anticipation of the arrival from
Covington of the body of Governor
Goebel, Adjutant General Collier this
morning issued orders withdrawing all
troops from the city and bringing them
with the main body at the capitol
grounds. These orders will remain in
effect until after Governor Goebel’s re
mains have been placed in the vault of
the Frankfort cemetery tomorrow after-'
noon.
This was done to avoid any possibility
of irritation of Governor Goebel’s
friends and partisans during the time
the body lies in state at the Capitol
hotel and the burial tomorrow and to
allay as far as possible the feeling
caused by the presence of state troops.
Even the provost guard was withdrwn
from the vicinity of the Capitol hotel.
The commissary sergeants will not be
allowed to leave the capitol grounds to
procure necessary supplies for their
men and all drills have beeu suspended
until Friday. Only a small guard was
left at the armory to protect the sup
plies and ammunition stored there. Out
side of this guard not a soldier will be
allowed to leave the capitol grounds
until Friday.

A BOY SLAYS HIS FATHER.
Claims He Committed the Deed In
Self Defense.
Cartersville, Ga., Feb. 5.—At Man
ley’s schoolhonse, 2 miles above Roy-
ston, Ben Hilliard, about 17 years of
age, shot and killed his father, Robert
Hilliard.
Father and son had quarreled, and
the young man 18ft home. His father,
armed with a Winchester, followed,
making threats against Ben.
The boy feared his father would kill
him, and he went to the schoolhonse,
where his uncle, D. A. Starr, is teacher,
and where his little brother is a pupil.
Ben had been in the schoolhonse but
a short time when his father appeared
and drew his gun on him. The boy
grabbed his little brother and held him
up, hoping that this would prevent the
old man irom firing.
When he saw that his father was de
termined to kill him, Ben quickly put
his brother down, and drawing a pistol
shot his father, who, surrounded by the
schoolchildren, soon expired.
No arrest has been made. The young
man made no attempt to escape, as he
says he fired to save his own life.
NO TAX ON DOGS THIS YEAR.
Roads to Demand Payment.
Quitman, Ga., Feb. 3.—The railroads
the melon growing section of the
state are making an effort to arrange
that all lines concerned require prepay
ment of freight on melons shipped dur
ing the coming season. The men be
hind the movement claim that this
action will shut inferior stock out of the
northern and western markets and
make good stock command prices that
will enable the shipper to pay the pres
ent freight rates and have a profit.
Legislature Must Correct Errors la
the Bill Passed.
Atlanta, Feb. 5. —The dog law passed
at the last session of the legislature,
with a view of substantially increasing
the common school fund of the state,
will in all probability never go into
effect in Georgia in its present shape.
Acting on the official opinion of At
torney General Terrell, the ordinaries
of a number of counties have held that
the law will not be effective until Jan.
1, 1901, and by that time the legislature
will have convened again and had an
opportunity to correct the errors in the
measure and attempt to make it con
stitutional where it is now regarded as
unconstitutional.
Estimates as to the amount of money
the application of the dog law would
bring to the common school fund of the
state vary from $75,000 to $200,000, the
latter estimate being based upon the
practical results of a similar statute in
the state of Tennessee.

convicted of murder in the second de
gree and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, has been discharged from cus
tody on the order of Judge Seabrook at
Savannah. The state supreme court a

trial and Judge Seabrook discharged
him upon his own recognizance to an

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is ail
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with
you. Sample bottles at H, B. mcmas
