tion. The resolution' was offered by
Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, and went
through without attracting the slight
est comment from any one of the doz
en or more Senators present. A min- \
tite later, however, at the request of!

sented to a reconsideration of the vote

forceful argument. Mr. Wolcott,

GOVERNOR GIVES OUT HIS VIEWS
Oil The Progress of The Republican
Party in The South—Also Touches
On Ihe Race Problem.
Chicago, Special.—The fifteenth an
nual Lincoln Day banquet of the Mar
que U-e Club, was given tonight at the
Auditorium Hotel, covers being laid for
°OO guests. The address of Governor
D. L. Russell, of North Carolina, on
Ihe Progress of Republicanism in the
South." was read by Adjutant General
J ; c - L - Harris, of North Carolina,
Governor Russell having been prevent
ed by official duties from leaving his
S.ate. Murat Halstead aud Repre
sentative McCleary, of Minnesota, were ,
ihe other speakers. Governor Russell
said the opposition to negro suffrage
among the whites in tihe slave belt In 1
the South is almost as strong and uni- ;
versal as was the devotion to the insti- I
, tution of slavery. The mere presence
j of the negro, coupled with the fact that
j the h ederal constitution guarantees
him on paper the right to vote equal
ly with any other citizen, having the
! same qualifications, has been sufficient
, to keep the whites solidly in one or
| ganization, which they call the Demo
cratic party. Thousands of them are,
in their real sentiments, against the
Democratic party and these thousands,
the property holdes and business men,
ae mostly at war with the platform of
the Democratic party and in sympathy
with every tenet of ' the Republican
party.
If they resided in the free States
(States that‘were not slaveholders)
they would be outspoken Republicans. !
They have abandoned secession, chat- 1
tel Kbvwu - - . ut - •* s>
to this, they have defied the national :
government by flagrant, persistent and
successful nullification of its constitu
tion and its laws. And to this nullifi
cation the North has submitted to an j
extent that looks like condonation, if
not approval. If your war amend
ments can not be enforced, would it ,
not be better to repeal them? Yet
these men will go into the Democratic
primaries and vote this year for Bryan
and pray for McKinley—not only .pray
for his '-policy, but also pray fer his
re-election.”
Two Islands Seized.
Manila, by Cable.—lt is reported that
the United States gun boat Princeton
visited the Tat anas and Calagan Isl
ands, Which were omitted from the
Paris treaty of peace, being north of
20 degrees of latitude, raised American
fiags and appointed native governors.
It is added that the Princeton found
the Japanese flag at the Bayat Island,
and refrained landing there, pending
orders. Reports from native sources,
which are not confirmed, say General
Plo del Pilar, the insurgent command
er, died of fever recently. The Prince
ton occupied the Northern Islands un
der a government order. The report
that a Japanese flag was found flying
has not been confirmed, but there is a
rumor that Japan intended to take the
islands. The natives willingly substi
tuted the American for insurgent offi
cials. and took the oath of allegiance.

Frankfort.
(Frankfort, Ky„ Special.—“l have
only this to say: After mature de
liberation and conference with my
friends from every section of the
State, 1 have concluded to allow this
controversy to take its due course, '
vigorously contesting every inch of
ground ana upholding the rights of the
people to the uttermost. If those
rights be destroyed the responsibility 1
for that destruction must rest with
those who sit in judgment. It is due
to say that the eminent gentlemen, my
friends, who secured the propositions
resulting from the Louisville confer
ence. acted in good faith, from the
highest motives of patriotism and did
the very best they could.”

flic above was signed by Gqvernor
Taylof and Issued as a proclamation.
Tthe decision not to sign the Louisville
fcgrocnifcnt w&s r©a>oh©fl by Governor
Taylur Saturday afternoon. For over
two hours he had been in conference
with fully 100 prominent Republicans
from all parts of the State. The meet
ing was secret in the extreme, all those
who came from the hall before Gov
ernor Taylor himself, refusing to eay
anything about the progress of the de
liberations. The members of the con
ference, with the exception of Gov
ernor Taylor, gathered in the legisla
tive hall usually occupied by the
House of Representatives. Governor
ISt'to& M
troops, allow tho legislature to recon
vene in the capitol in Frankfort, to
call off the session now being held in
London and ito ignore the Louisville
agreement entirely.
Several speeches were made, and it
was soon apparent that the sentiment
of the gathering was very strongly In
favor of the second course, and this
was adopted. This action was decided
upon at 1 o'clock, and the first infor
mation of the decision was given to
the outside world by Governor Taylor,
himself. He came rapidly through the
doors unattended and locking nervous
and haggard. He walked hastily to
ward the capitol stairway, repeating
several times to the newspaper men
who stood in the hall, "I don’t sign,”
“I don’t sign,” "I don’t sign.” From
the cap’.tol he passed to the executive
building, where he at once made up
and signed the following proclamation,
1 reconvening the Legislature at Frank-
fort:
"Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 10.
"The excitement recently prevailing
in this city having to some extent sub
sided and there appearing now to be no
necessity for the General Assembly to
remain in session in London, I do here
by, by this proclamation, reconvene
the same in Frankfort, Ky., on Feb

BIHLER RETIRES.’
The British Suffer Another RepulM
From the Boers.
London, By Cable. — London accepts!
as true the Boer statement that Gen
eral Buller has failed again. Those
statements- were passed by the British 1
eenjor at Aden and are read in the
lig.it of Mr. Balfour's announcement
m the Commons that'General Buller
is not pressing his advance. Mr. Win.
ston Churchill wires that Vaal Kranltz
was impracticable for the guns which
were needed to support a further ad
v aiice. His cablegram leaves General
Buller on Tuesday Mght sending a
l' fresh brigade to relieve the tired hol
ders of Van I Kiumtz. The descriptive
writers with General Buller were al
lowed a rather free hand, again ex
plaining the ugly position which tho
British- held 'and the natural obstacles
i ' v< h.irh had to be overcome. So it is
infer that with Boer nifiemen
ami artillery defending them, thet>
lulls, aarvfnes anil jungles have not
been overcome, and thus the public
prepared in Id Vance for bad new's,
t H' e, iograms from Ladysmith, dated
