It is said the agreement is decidedly favorable to the Democrats. Gov. Taylor is to withdraw the troops from the" state buildings at Frankfort and send them home. The order convening the legislature at London, Ky.. is to be revoked and tha regular sessions of the general assembly are to be resumed at the state capitol without molestation. Frankfort, Ky.. Feb. 5. —Gov. W illiam Goebel, who was shot one week ago, died Saturday evening. Ihy siclans gave their distinguished patient oxygen during the afternoon in the hope of prolonging bis life until his ' brother Justus Goebel could arrive from Arizona, but Jt was useless, Mr. Goebel dying 45 minutes before his brother arrived. As soon as the death of Mr. Goebel : was announced Lieut. Gov. J. W. C. Beckham took the oath as governor of Kentucky. Gov. Beckham issued a proclamation ordering the militia and other persons in possession of city and the state offices to return to their homes. He also dismissed Adjt. Gen. Collier and Assistant Adjt. Gen. Dickson, and . appoined Gen. Castleman of Louis-1 ville as Col. Collier's successor. No attention was paid to the orders ■ by the Taylor government. Armed conflict between the civil authorities of Franklin county and national guard of the state of Kentucky has been averted and- unless new causes should come to the front, there is small liklihood that the political situation will again become as threatening as it has been during the last few days. Both sides will take a rest pending the session of the legislature called by Gov. Taylor at London. No Democrats will attend this unless they are taken there by the military forces of the state, and no attemirt will be made in this direction by Gov. Taylor until he has afforded them every opportunity to go to London of their own accord. What will lie done when it has been made certain that the Democrats will not visit London has not been definitely determined by Gov. Taylor. It is likely that matters on both sides will be allowed to drift until after tlie funeral of Gov. Goebel. Irishmen In lhe British Army. There are at the present moment seven full regiments of Irishmen in the British army—the Enniskillen fusileers. the Connaught rangers, the Royal Dublin fusileers. the Royal Irish fusileers, the Royal Munster fusileers. the Royal Irish regiment and the Royal Irish rifles. And these Irish regiments are freer from any admixture of foreign or non-Ir'sh blood than probably any other seven regiments in her majesty's army Not only are these Irish regiments composed of Irishmen, but the mixture of Irishmen in the English and Scottish regiments is very material. Os the 202.000 troops in the British army in 1898. 158,500 were of English. 26,370 of Irish and 16.480 of Scottish birth.New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Send for our free illustrated ’ -uuk fur expectant tnctberj, It seems almost incredible that in the neighborhood of 540.000 in actual cash should have been confided to misdirected letters during the past year, and harder still to credit that the most exhaustive efforts have failed to find the owners of one-fourth of this amount. The envelopes which are addressed are kept on file four years, blank ones not so long, but in either case a liberal margin of time is giveu for the claimants to appear be- ' fore the money is finally turned into the treasury to the credit of the postoffice department.
