FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WILL NOT INTERFERE WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Nearly the en- tire time of the Cabinet meeting to-day was taken up in a discussion of the situ- ation in Kentucky and the rights and du- ties of the President therewith. Almost immediately on the receipt of Governor Taylor's message last night the Presjdent took up the matter and consulted au- thorities on points with which he was not famillar. A decision was reached at | once, and when Senator-elect Blackburn with Representatives Allen, Hoyt, Gil- bert, Smith and Wheeler called this morn- ing to protest against Federal interfer- e in Kentucky the President promptly e them to understand that he had al- ready ched a conclusion on the sub- at he had found that the situa- tion did not warrant the Federal authori- was announced to the Cabinet immediately upon its convening.

The first It is stated positively by the Demo- e R R SO S S I | talned the President’s conclusion. The law which must govern in this case au- | thorizes Federal action only when the | Legislature is not in session and cannot be convened. Governor Taylor's message | does not intimate that the Legislature of the State cannot be promptly convened | nor does he show that the conditions in | Frankfort are such as would justify Fed- | eral intervention. The President and the members of his | | Cabinet without exception recognize the | fact that the Legislature of the State of | ! Kentucky by a majority thereof is the | sole judge of which of the two contestants | was elected Governor of the State at the recent election. GOEBEL’S CONDITION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE | FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 8.—At 12:30 a. m. Goebel was as comfortable as he had | been at any time during the day. He was able to take a little nourishment at mid- | night, some ice cream being given him. The indications are for a good night. | In fact, Mr. Goebel's condition is con- | sidered better than at any time since he was shot. The iron will and determina- tion of the wounded man that he will not die by an assassin's bullet is, howeve still considered the main factor in sus. taining him. Last night the attending physiclans for the first time held out | some hope for his ultimate recovery. Governor Goebel secured some sleep dur- | | sleep. [ dasas s s s et SRR aad ] * EX-LEGISLATOR ASSASSINATED MIDDLEBORO, Ky., Feb. 2.—The report that Willlam S. Wright, ex- member of the Kentucky Leglsla- ture for Knott and Letcher coun- tles, was assassinated at Boone Fork on the Kentucky River, last night, is confirmed by a dispatch to-night from Hagan. During the campalgn last fall Wright was an enthuslastic stumper for John Young Brown for Governor. He was a prominent lawyer and Dem- ocratic politician, and had made many enemies among the moun- taineers in defending cases for the coal companies. There were five shots fired, and two took effect. He ‘was shot with a Winchester of the same caliber as that used by the would-be assassin of Goebel. + + OH++ 4444444 44444444440 ing yesterday, which increased his strength perceptibly, and though unfa. vorable symptoms showed themselves at times the sick man always rallied well. Compared with twenty-four hours ago his. condition shows a decided improve- ment, his temperature being nearly nor- fnul though some of the fever still shows itseif. His pulse and respiration are still hi but his kidneys, the condition of which had been regarded as the most unfavor- able symptom, are performing their func- tions in a more normal manner, thus ob- viating in a degree the danger of uraemic poisoning. Goebel during yesterday com- plained somewhat of bedsoreness, and ne was turned p:\rfl{ on his side to relleve the strained muscles. This for a time had an unfavorable effect, but he soon rallied and shortly afterward fell into a slight Hig temperature at 10 o'clock last his respiration 38 and his | R R R R e R s PP ARt e e 2 L S S S Sy night was 1001, ulse 120. Should the wounded man un- lergo no change for the worse before day- light his physicians express the hope that th recovery, though necessarily slow, will | be sure. ‘‘At present Governor Goebel breathes altogether from his left lung,’ said Dr. Willlams at midnight. “Clotted blood has almost closed his wounded right lung, which, of course, forms a natural bandage and prevents further bleeding, but later will prove somewhat a source of danger. The clotted blood will decompose in about eight days, and then it may be necessary to remove a section of a rib to remc the decomposed blood. The wound will then be drained and the danger will then be from secondary hemorrhage.” SHERIFF SUTTON MAY BE IMPLICATED for LOUISVILLE, Feb. 2—A warrant licious shooting with intent to kill, reached here to-night from Frankfort. Sutton at- tracted attention Wednesday night by his spectacular leap from the third-story win- dow of the Victoria Hotel in an aftempt to escape arrest. He s thought by the Frankfort authorities to have either been implicated in the attempted assassination of Governor Goebel or to have important information as to the identity of the reai culprits. Sutton has acted queerly since his arrest Wednesday, and many peop'e here believe him to be mentally unbal anced. Sutton will probably be taken to Frankfort to-morrow. PLANS FOR MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 2—Two com- panfes of infantry left here to-day for London; where they will preserva the peace during the session of the Legisla- ture that will, under the proclamation of Governor Taylor, begin in that place on Tuesday next. A number of Republican Representatives left to-day to arrange the | reliminaries Incident to the meeting. It s the present Intention of Governor Tay lor to go to London in person. Arrange- ments have been made for a special train. _The Republicans deny that Gov- ernor Taylor will leave the Capitol build- ing, every precaution having been made to keep the matter secret.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—At a speclal meeting of the House Ways and Means Committee to-day it was decided to re- port a bill establishing a tariff system for Porto Rico on a basis of 25 per.cent of the | rates in the regular tariff law. Reports also were received from the sub-committee which has considered to what extent the term “‘United States” as used in the constitution relatées to the outlying territory recently acquired .by this country. A majority of the sub- committee,. comprising the Republican members, reported in substance that Con- gress had practically unlimited power in dealing with these territories. The mi- nority, comprising Richardson (D.) and Newlands (Silver) holds In substance | that all constitutional restrictions extend | to the newly acquired territory, and that ‘lhl"d powers of Congress are thereby lim- ted. s HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

It got no further, how- ever, than the appropriations for Indian schools, where-an effort was inaugurated by Fitzgerald of New York to permit the Becretary of the Interior to contract with gchools for the education of Indian chil- dren where the Government lacks facili- ties.

The first half of the day was glven to three witnesses for the memo- rialists, after which Thomas T. Lyons, County Attorney of Jefferson County, was called to the stand by Faulkner in Clark's behalf. His testimony was rather startling in several ‘respects. He brought Repre- sentative Campbell, one of the attorneys for the prosecution, into the controversy as an active pnrllolrsnt in the case, say- ing that Campbell had /promised him to testify against Clark. He had previously been a worker for Clark, and said that he acted in this matter at the instance of C. W.
