jonf (viore day: The Limit tho Democrats Wil Givo Gov. Taylor. HE MUST SIGN AGREEMENT In That Time or They Will Set Vp m State Government of Their Own. Step Taken to Enjoin the Election Board Secret Meeting? of LejcUlatare at London. Frankfort, Ky.. Feb. 9. Unlesa aome action regarding the LouIsvIU agreement In taken by Gor. Taylor by tomorrow or some word ent to them regarding his Intention, the Democrats will proceed upon th hypothesis that he does not intend to take any action, and will go ahead with the organization of their state government at Louisville. A conference was held last evening in the Capital hotel at which Gov. Iteclthain. Senator Black burn. S. J. Suaekleford and John K. Ilendrick were present. The delay of Gov. Taylor in declaring himself regarding the Iiuisville agreement was dlHt-usMed at length and it was agreed by all pres-u t, that, in their opinion, the Democrats had waited long enough. It was agreed at Louisville tint the legislature (should meet in the capital on Monday and it is now so lifar thiit tiuu that they are beginning to think Gov. Taylor may take no action regard: u,f it within the limit set. One day more will be allowed for koiuv iiriiiiu'Jon from Gov. Taylor and if it i.4 not fortheomliig another state government will be organized at luiKv!lie. Gov. Taylor announced last night that he had taken no action regarding the agreement and be would not say when he will act. It 1h practically certain that the agreemeut will not Imj accepted by Gov. Taylor as it stand. lie desires more specific promises regarding the repeal of the Goebel law, and a deci stou in the guleruatoriaI contest by a vote of the two legislative houses. To this the Democrat say they will not agree. Gov. Taylor holds the view at present mat oov. ociHr! was never legally seated, and will demand a new vote on the matter before lie will consent to abandon his seat under any circumstances. Not a Democratic member of the house was in Frankfort to attend the funeral yesterday. The report was given out that orders had bcn issued to arrest sueh members of the legislature as might come in town, but this was deuled by Gov. Taylor, Gen. Collier and Col. Williams, all of them saying that orders to that effect had never leen Issued at auytime during the troubles. mterfeiiuif witli iu est,tunH ol tliG legislature in Frankfort aud from con- . Tening it at I-oruloii was not heard at Georgetown yesterday as was intended. Secret Session. London, Ky., Feb. 9. The senate and bouse of the Kentucky legislature both held secret sessions yesterday. After adjournment senators aud representatives positively refused to talk f the proceedings. INJUNCTION PKOCKF.D1NOS Kentucky Republicans Appeal to the I'nitert State Court. Cincinnati, Feb. 9. Judge William II. Taft, who has just bceu appointed as the president of the uew Philippine commission, yesterday gave notice to counsel that on next Monday at 2 p. m. be would bear arguments on the petition of the state otiiccrs of Kentucky, other than governor and lieutenant governor, for a restraining order against the three members of the Kentucky state board of election commissioners and the contestants for the state ortlces other than tluse of governor and lieutenant governor. The legislature in Kentucky hears and decides contests for governor and lieutenant governor, but the contests for other state officers come before the atate board of election commissioners, sitting as a contest ttoanl. and in which saiJ board has final jurisdiction. This petition for an injunction against the present state txmrd of election commissioner and the Democratic contestants for niiuor state officers, is therefore not one affecting Gov. Taylor and Lieut. Gov. Marshall, and will not conflict with the conferences for an agreement that were lffua at Louisville- last Monday and which are still in progress at that "city and at Frankfort.

CRITICAL PLACE

Buller's Forces Reported to Be Surrounded WITH BOER ARTILLERY ranriaar a Terriblo Five lalo Sis Rank Heavy Caaaalty List Kx pctd la Load on No Word as to Him Movamenta Sinoa Tuesday but la Tboagbt to lie f liibtuac. LBdoa, Feb. 9. All the message trots, the observers with Gen. Buller tarow la a pirate or twa -about "Use treaftn ot tae Boer poKltlons." and the difBculUus of Gen. Buller's work," but they do not carry event beyond Tuesday evening. Their last slender narratives leave the British advance on Vaalkrants In the center of a semicircle, where the troops are exposed to the Boer artillery on both sidws and la the center. : The fliihUBZ continued until 9 o'clock Tuesday evening and almost without doubt continued Wednesday, as the Boers weuld certainly not leave this wedge into their lines unmolest ed. It Is also inferred that Buller must either continue his advance or retire. The heaviest fighting appears to have been oa Tuesday. Gen. Buller's 233 casualties are mentioned as hair lug occurred before noon Tuesday Large lists are consequently expected for the rest of the day. The casualties reported bring the total British losses during the war to 10,44 killed, wounded and captured. The disposition here is rather to minimize the importance of the light ing in Natal and to suggest that this is only an incident any way, putting hepe on expected decisive engage ments in northern Cape Colony and upon the invasion of the Free State by Lord Roberts. At all events, this Is the official view. j The public does not like these new waits and there is sharp anxiety for further news. In Cane Colony, Gen. MacD'onaJJ has had a skirmish with l,0o0 Boers at Koodooborg. This was on Monday. The Boers have been taking the offensive against Gen. French near Kensburg as well as against Gen. Gatacrs in the Stormberg hills. i Since the war has strained the resources of the military system. Englishmen have been troubled by tin possibility that sea fighting might show naval defects which would weaken the first line of defense 1n which the coimtry has placed such complete trust. This apprehension hat suddenly found expression. During the last two or three days, in half the newspapers in England, the governrapTlt' n tf pTttfnn hr TMn specially Even pubTrjunrel.TJTSflT5Try surprised to learn that 16 battleships and eight armored cruisers depend upon muzzle loaders. This means that smaller, but faster, ships with modern guns would be able to stay 1,000 or 2,000 yards out of range and to disable in leisurely fashion about one-third of the vessels which appear In the naval list as "first class." The admirality is understood to be preparing to remedy this defect and to propose also considerable additions that will preserve the present ratio f Great Britain's naval strength to that of France and Germany. A supplementary army estimate to March 31 was laid pro forma before the house of commons yesterday, but was not made .public. It is reported that the call is for '..'0.000,000, wb.ij.-h would Make the cost of the war up -to that date f30,0o0,000. The maintenance of 200.000 men at the front, it is estimated, costs between 8,000.000 and 10.000,000 per month. British Strength In Sooth Africa. London, Feb. 9. George Wyndham, parliamentary secretary of the wai office, answering a question in the house of commons, said that 2.2S." c Ulcers and men of the Brltisk arraywere missing, but it was uncertain how many of them were at Pretoria. As to their protection in case the British beseiged Pretoria, Mr. Wynd ham said th government left that tc the discretion of Lord Roberts. Answering another question, Mr. Wyudham said, that In addition to the ISO.000 troops in South Africa, recently mentioned in his speech, the government had decided to sead 17 mors battalions of militia and 3,000 yeomanry, making a total for the mill Ha of over 20.000 men and for the yeomanry 8,000. The total in South Af rica, ho added, would then be 194,008 elective, exclusive of sick and wounded. FIERCE FIGHTING War Correspondent's Dlscrlptlon ol Tuesday's Battle. London.- Feb. 9. The Dally Tele graph baa received the following dis patch, dated Feb. 6, from Spearman's oamp: "This is the second day of the battle and the fighting has been fiercer than It was yesterday. At dawn the Boers began the action by shelling our blvouack with their Long Tom and pompon guns from Inform kloof. Their 6inch sheits fell near the spot wher Gen. Buller aud his staff were wathtn.ir the engagement. One shell burst amid a squadron of the 13th Hussars but not a soul was touched. "Our gnus from Swarts kop and b the plains soon silenced the enemy'i artillery, but reicatedly the Bwmi brought back their guns, popped their Into work over the hills, fired a few rounds and then again changed their position. "During the morning our gunners succeeded In blowing up the enemy's ammunition wagon upon Doorm kloof. Gen- Lyttleton's brigade was shot at from three sides and had a warm time npn Vaal Oram. "Desperate efforts were made by the Boers to recover the smoking hill. The Durham light infantry, the King's Royal Rifles and the Scottish Rifles gallantly charged and cleared the position. Gen.
