FRANKFORT, Ki*., February 2— The first clash between the. executive andju cHeial powers of the State. - occurred tb <;.iy. A still greater clash 5s impending for to-morrov,', and beyond the possibilities of to-morrow lies a sea, with skies Jowcr- Jnp. ;uid so stormy. an aspect, that no poli-' lidiin of either party can predict where it will carry the Kentucky ship of state. There cannot now be any concealment of the fact that affairs are bordering <Tn conflict in arms. ■ 3^gal process may provide aYMnedy too tlllatory to please a l\'.w of the more irii jiatient. and it is in the power"' of tJieso to create a world of woe at almost any time. . • HOW TROUBLK MAY ARLSK. Tlie clash of to-day came when an oili rr-r of: the Circuit Court of Franklin cciin ■ty was arrested by the militia whil? a: lempting to serve notice of a legal pro ceeding on Governor Taylor. The clash of to-morrow may conii; when the-oltictirs of that court attempt to enforce the rulings of its presiding; judge. JJeh'nd tr.is .iudge the Democrats will have to morrow, for the' Jirst time, an active ex ecutive head in a person of Acting Gqvcr :.■■: Beckham, : and from the Demoexwuc standpoint, a regularly' appointed Adju tiint-General, whose orders tin- troops Übw < j !K:atniK-d around the Capitol building" are bound to obey. If i hey decline to obey, the new Adjutant-General will, the Uomo crats claim, have the power.-.. to organize iiiilitarj r forces of his own,, and proceed against" all people who defy. the authority of his officer, and that of the Governor of the State, whom he represents. On the other hand, the Republicans are fixed in their attitude that there is an insurrection in the State; that l.'eckham nnd the actions of his Adjutant-General, and his orders, are those of people act- Ing in opposition to law. and that those v-h.i show resistance to ill-?. proe!arnatipnsv «r Governor Taylor are in rebellion against i!i" Ci'innionwealih. They will. resist any auempt of any kind to remove- them from their position iirouml the Capitol, mwtlng force with force, and that means civil war. ARREST OF NOTICE-SI:RVER. The first clash of. to-day came when Alnnzo Walker, a stenographer, .miployed by the Democratic attorneys, was placed ur.iler arrest in the Capitol grounds, ehi'rsed with conduct tending to* incite mutiny and riot. He had Pinned to the door of the private; bliice of Governor Taylor a notice of injunction proceed- To-morrow -the injunction will undoubt edly be granted. Judge Caritrill has the reputation of firm enforcement of his rulings, and will use all the. power in his hands to secure the operation of his injunction. It is equally certain that the Republicans will pay 'no attention to Juuge Cinurill or his writs. The Democrats- claim that the Republi cans" arrest of Wallcer while he was oar r\i:is out the orders of. the Court lias placed them in contempt of court, and they will make all this point possible. \O KKDEKAI, I.NTEHFintBNCK. TiexitN-iK Ooiitl.'s Tliai Situation I)«M's Not Warrant It. WASHINGTON, February 2.— Nearly the entire time of the Cabinet meeting 10-day was devoted to a discussion of the situation in Kentucky, and the rights and curies of the President in connection therewith. V; Almost immediately ujion the receipt of Governor Tayior's message last ni£ln\ the President took up the question, and consulted authorities on points with which lie was not familiar. A decision "/was reached at once, and when Senator elect Blackburn, with Representatives llhieai, Alii-n, Gilbert, Smith, and Wheeler called this morning to protest against Federal interference in Kentucky, the I 'resident promptly gave them to under stand Iliat he hadalready reached a con clusion on the subject, and that he had found that the situation did not warrant th.' Federal authorities in interfering. CABINET AGREES. This, decision was announced to the Cabinet immediately- upon its convening. Attorney-General Griggs. Secretary Root, and the other lawyers of the Cabinet sus talued tho President's conclusions. .The 2aw which must govern in this case au ihorizes Federal action only when tlie '•ewlasure is not in session and cannot l->" convened. Governor Taylor's message does not ln ""•tisimte that the Jjeglslature of the .State t-aunot be promptly, convened, nor does lie show that the conditions in Frankfort »"• .such as would justify Federal inter ference. The President and the members of his Cabinet, without exception; recognize .the fact that the Legislature of the Stale ol' Kentucky, by a majority thereof, is the solo judge of \ which of the two contest ants was elected Governor of the State at thtj r<xrent election. *■■ TAVi^OR CALKED "GOVERNOR," THOUGH. A'i(-r the Cabinet meeting the following Maiement was made: "The Pr<_-sid<;nt has decided that no '■'•iis't has" -yet arisen to justify the inter vention of the National Government in K'riuucky, and has so informed the Gov ei-'ior." Some signiiicancj may attach to; the of the word "Governor" in this state nient, inasmuch as the. reply /was direct t-u to Governor Taylor. UI^JHOCIt.VriC OH«A.VIZA'I'IO.V.

A secrot session of the mombors ot ; both houses was held in one oi;nie. parlors ot the Capitol /Hotel. 1 - at the election of Wllllain Goebol'as Governor and -that of J. C. W.

Preceding this action, the members of >ne Sennte" cleetcd as president pro teni. oena tor Carter, who was nominated for that position at yesterday's caucus.. A coinmittt-e of the members of the House, composed of- Representaiives Finney. UnfTerty, and Cochrari, was also appolnt •"d.. to draw up a set of ."rc'solutioris show ing the- condition of affairs as it exists at tho State capital to-day, and covering thoroughly the Democratic side of the controversy. Probably no further at tempt will he made to hold sessions in the State House. - ■'<- LONDON SESSION : TO IJE IGNORED. It seems to be weir understood among the Democratic me'mbors of the Legis lature that the session rtt London . will l>o Ignored altogether by them, and that no Democrat will attend, "until compelled to do so." The Democratic members will continue to hold sessions at some convenient place, until the politicnl atmosphere has cleared. This plan of action- was decided "on to forestall any attempt on the part of the Republicans to arrest, thorn and- compel their attendance at London, which ac tion, according to- the Democratic mem bers, has been determined on by Gover nor Taylor. Tf arrests are attempted, no resistance will be' made by the Demo crats, either to arrest or. to attending the session at London -should they be arrested.. VIOLENCE TO BE AVOIDED. It was determined that all acts of vio lence should bo avoided, and that the battle for supremacy hereafter should bo fought out. in the court*. Nevertheless, the situation to-night is regarded as grave by members of both parties, and no one is willing to forecast,, the result of the anticipated dash of authority be two<:n.

IJII'ltOVEl). I'liyxiciaiiM IJolil Out- Sonic Hoyc^of IJltiiitiitc il«rcov «-r}-. FRANKFORT, XV.. February 2.— The condition of William Goebel is to-night considered belter than at any time since he was shot. The iron will and deter mination, of the "wounded man that -he will not" die by an assassin's bullet are, however, still considered the main factor in sustaining him. but to-night .the at tending physicians, for the first time, hold out some hope of his ultimate re covery. Governor Goebel secured some sleep du ring tin.; day, which increased his strength perceptibly, and though, unfavorable symptoms showed themselves at times, the sick man always rallied well. Comp ared with twenty-four hours ago. his condition shows a decided improvement, his temperature being mure nearly nor mal, though some fever still shows itself. His pulse and respiration are still high, but his kidneys, the' condition- of .'which last night was regarded as the most un favorable symptom, are performing their functions in a more normal manner, thus ob via tin? in a degree the danger of anae mic poisoning. TEM PER A TUREy 1001-2; PULSE, 120. Governor Goebel during the day com plained somewhat of bed-soreness, and he was turned* partly on his side- to re lieve- tiie'.i'Mynirieii; rhuscies.' This for ' a lime had an unfavorable effect, but he soon' rallied, and shortly afterward.f ell Into "a light, sleep. His temperature to night is 100 1-2, his respiration 3S. and his pulse 120. • Should the wounded man succeed in passing, through to-night well, his physi cians express' tho hope that his recovery, though necessarily slow, will be sure. OXLY ONE LUNG DOING DUTY. "At present Governor Goebel breathes altogether from his left lung," said Dr. Williams to-night. "Clotted blood has almost entirely coated 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 decom pose in about eight days, and then . it may be necessary to remove' a section of a rib, in order to remove the decomposed blood. ;The wound will then be drained, and the danger will be from secondary hemorrhage." KEXTI'CKI.WS AT "WHITE HOU.SI3 Democratic Delegation Asks I're»l deutsXot to Interfere. ' WASHINGTON, February A delega tion of Kentucky Democrats, consisting of Senator-elect Blackburn and Represen tatives" Rhea, \Vh«eler, Smith, Allen, and Gilbert, and Colonel Phi!. Thompson, call ed upon President McKinley to-day, at the :\Vluie House, to protest agair.st Federal interference in the contest in Kentucky. .Senator l-indsay arrived soon after the delegation had been admitted, and was immediately ushered into the President's private office, where iho con ference was in progress. Senator'; Blackburn and Representative Rhea. acted as spokesmen. -They ex pressed their deep solicitude lest a colli sion should occur between the warring elements in Kentucky. ■ and made the re port that Governor Taylor had solicited Federal intervention the text of their protest. DEMOCRATS WITHIN THE LAW. They assured the: President' -that- ; : tho law and Constitution of Kentucky had been strictly followed by the Democrats in the contest over the governorship/and that they proposed to -stand by the law. The crisis that had arisen, they declared, should be met in Hie courts, and deter mined by the law. The Democrats, they asserted, would abstain -"from -..violence. They simply desired a lawful- and orderly settlement of the controversy.- Federal intervention would only aggravate mat ters intensify the excitement, and almost certainly lead to trouble, ;.. and per haps loss* of life.': They earnestly, ap pealed :to the President to avert such a calamity., by abstaining from interference of any sort. BJ-AOKI3URN TO COUNSEL PEACE- Senator Blackburn and Representative Rhea said that they .were going to Ken tucky to counsel peace and. obedience to Senator Lindsay endorsed what "his- col leagues hu<l saM about the Democrats' abiding within the law. and no matter how much men might differ a? to the wisdom ; and merits .of the contest, -the dispatch of Federal: troops to .Kentucky would, he said. 'in his opinion create anarchy and chaos. . . '- The President, in reply, expressed hit. «r<-at anxiety over the situation., and his profoundest " wish that, violence should bo avoided, and. that the contest should be legally determined. , He assured the delegation in a general way that heide- Ulored the situation,- and ihat 1-ederal in terference would come - only as the -.last report after having been invoked by the propt-r authorities under trie law and -the Constitution. . .".-...• PRESIDENT'S /WORDS SATISFACTORY "While the ; ' President ' spoke in genera!

The attendance was exceptionally large, and the action was hearty and en thusiastic, i: :'■ :':',■ President L. 55." -Morris, . who occupied the chair, announced that in accordance with a motion made' and carrifici; a t : a meeting of the Board of Directors held on Wednesday this general meeting, of t!ie Chamber had been called to consider Senate Bill No. 312. now pending in the L?gisiature-"tf. incorporate the Rich-, mond and Washington Air-Line Railway Oompany--and to give some expression to the sentiment of the community upon this important -measure. He then de clared that the meeting was ready to hear any member upon the question. RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING THE BILL Mr. L. C. Younger -said he considered the matter one of the .greatest- impor tance and int. Test to the people of, Rich mond, and that he had a preamble and r^oluti.m favoring the bill in question, which he would offer for the considera tion : and adoption of the. meeting, and request the secretary to read. The sec retary read the preamble and resolution,; as follows: Whereas, a bill has been offered in the General Assembly of Virginia for the purpose of chartering a railroad 'from the city of Richmond, or any point in rlen rico county, to a point on the Potomac river, "in. either Fairfax or "Alexandria counties,"'- the title of the bill being ' 1 <•> Incorporate the Richmond and Wash ington Air-Line Railway Company, which in effect, .means the construction of another railroad between Richmond and the seat of our National Government; and. as it. is believed to be of paramount importance to the best interests of the South, and especially of the-State of Vir ginia. as^wpJl.-asl th«v- eity_ of-Riohmond.. that'this. bill should be. passed, the Rich mond Chamber of Commerce, in the ex ercise of the right of petition, most re spectfully appeals to the General Assem bly- to grant this charter, for the follow ing considerations: While the facilities for traffic: between Richmond and other Virginia cities and the South are .quite ample, there being the' three southern systems— viz., the Southern railway. . the Atlantic-Coast Line, and the Seaboard Air-Line, and be tween Washington and the North, the great Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio systems, with their doubled track lines, affording most abundant facilities, the link between these great systems from Richmond. to Washington is a single track' line, consisting of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad, from Richmond to Qtiuntico, and thence to Washington over the Washington and Southern railroad— a part of the Penn sylvania railroad, system. The question arises at once Upon a con sideration of this situation, why this re stiicted condition as to the traffic between thr- national . capital and the capital . ot the Commonwealth exists, and the only answer that can be given is that the State of Virginia, which originally subscribed most' liberally to the stock of the Rieh nr>nd, Fredericksburg and'Potomac rail road, for the~ express purpose of affording its citizens what: -was then deemed a necessary highway for trade and travel, has been asked by parties desiring to peipetuate the exclusive charter of the Richmond. Freclericksburg and Potomac railroad to put itself in the anomalous position, almost two thirds of a century after, its subscription to this enterprise.' of denying its citizens the right to build another much needed railroad, urging as the'r reasons that- the- Staterhas a pecu niary interest in the Richmond,: Fred encksburg and Potomac railroad, and the supposition that the value of - that intf-rest might be impaired. Such- a position, upon every considera tion oV the wisest public policy, seems to b.» absolutely inconsistent and Indefensi ble. The Richmond and Washington Air- L'ne Railway Company not only proposes t? build' its road without the aid of the. State but it is expected to create more than 's^.OCO.OOO- of railroad property, sub -■cc.- t<>' taxation, while the property of the Richmond. Fredericksburg . and Potomac railroad, based on the; current market value of its securities, valued at" over ?r, ('Oi.OCO. is forever exempt from taxation. I* ul^o jjroposes to guarantee the State's income from its holdings in the Rich mond. Fredericksburg. and Potomac for five years, and at the State's option to pa"' the State for' its stock and dividend obligations- of the Richmond, . Fredericks- I:ur"°- and Potomac an amount over 150. percent: in excess of its original 'invest ments, and the" highest market price at which the stock has ever been sold. A simple statement of the case carries with it its own argument. No pecuniary consideration, it is believed, in the.slight est degree justifies a position so contrary to the State's obligations to its citizens, contrary to its every tradition and to its present, attitude, unon most important economic problems with which ;it is con fronted: but, in view;,' of the very favor able offer on.' the part of the Richmond and Washington Air-Line Railway Com-; pany to buy its holdings in the Rich mond.

Richmond— the ' Southern, the ''Atlantic- Coast. ' Line, and. the Seaboard Air-Line— looking to the North and West 'and Northwest, we .find, three great- .system centering at.

Tinder these con ditions not a pound of freight nor a pas pcngor can "pass over, itlu's route -either way without paying toll to the Pennsyl vania railroad. ._ .-, ";. THEY -WORK TOGETHER: The Atlantic-Coast. Line and the Pa?h mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac; being old-time friends' and allies of the 'Penn sylvania, .'gather, large quantities of freight from the South, and turn it over to the Pennsylvania.. The Pennsylvania, In return, gathers large quantities .of freight in the North. and Middle West and turns it over to the Richmond, Freder icksburg and Potomac and the Atlantic- Coast Line, so' that the Seaboard Air-Line is regarded in coming, to Richmond as an intruder, seeking to share in this busi ness. The Pennsylvania", it is true, says to the Seaboard Air-Line, Give your busi ness from the South to us. and we will handle it for you. But when we. ask the Pennsylvania what they will give us in return, their reply is, You cannot expect us to abandon our old-lime friends and allies. We are. therefore, forced to look beyond, and we-, find ■ the Baltimore and Ohio, with all the necessary facilities for handling the business beyond Washing ton. It will be a good thing for the Sea board Air-Line to have a connection with the Pennsylvania, but. we also want an other connection. ' • "There appeared to be another way oC reaching Washington." Major Dooley continued. "'The Chesapeake and; Ohio now affords a line between Richmond and Washington in^a round-about Way, but- it runs due north to Junc tion, and under; its privilege of building branch lines fifty miles in length it could have reached Quantieo, where the Balti more and Ohio, under its charter,, could have built to meet it; but the Pennsyl-. vania tui-ned up as owner of the Chesa peake -^anil^Ohio. rendjy ing that plan im practicabjeT ihiis"'the-"'f- > 6Tinsylvania' rail road is in a position to .dictate the terms and- control rates of freight not only to- New York,' Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and other northern cities, but also to the West and the Northwest. The question, therefore, resolves ; itsell simply into this: Do you .want competi-' tion? As a business-man and- a; citizen of Richmond, always having at heart the interest of this clear old ■ city. .1 do .' not = believe that the Legislature could confer a greater boqn-upou this great and pro gressive community than by chartering a competing line from Richmond to the North. The Richmond. Frprtericksburg and Potomac stockholders': offer" to buy, from tho State of Virginia; a -perpetual monopoly of the business of the city or Richmond and other sections of the- State for about .sf>o,oo9 per annum. Are we re turning to the dark ages when monopolies are sold by the governments? , I trust this offer.. may recoil upon those who made it, . ami that this old State will never, for such a "consideration, "foster. such a monopoly." Major Dooley •"concluded his. remarks with an eloquent protest against this pro position.He was listened to with the most marked attention,, and . elicited the most hearty applause. IS A CATCHING PROPOSITION. ' llr. . Isaac -Diggs said *he agreed with Major Dooley, to whose eloquent' address he^ had listened with profound interest, bin he said he held before him a printed proposition. Which had been placed in the hand of every member of the Legislature, that it made, a very fi:i<r showing", and .was certainly a catchy proposition.- and it had been followed by a bill offered in the . Senate by Mr. .Jeffress. and in the House: by Mr. Parks;'; providing that the revenue of the State from its interest in the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto .mar should be so handled as ultimately to wipe out the State debt. Mr. Diggs said he was not enough of a financier to deal with that statement himself, but he warned Major Dooley that he ami the friends of the Richmond and. Washington Air-Lu\e Railway Companj' would .be met by that paper. -Mr. Diggs further stated that ; : the paper, though crediting the State With the revenue of $8,000 for the estimated tax to -be. derived ' from the Richmond and "Washington Air-Line, if built, still showed that it was to the in terest of the State not to sell its" hold ings in the; Richmond, Frederieksburg and Potomac, the effect of this being to continue the State as a partner in this railroad and to make her opposed to any line paralleling that, road, to. perpetuate its exeriiption from taxes; and to enable the road to get what it wanted from the Legislature without such provisos as had been; insisted upon with, other rail roads. In conclusion Mr. Diggs' said -that almost one of the first votes he.l cast in' the Legislature, when he was;a member, was to authorize the. sale of the: State's interest in the Richmond.' Fredericksburg and Potomac, and- he was proud of that vote. If. -this "was done, and the road in Which -Major Dooley was. interested- was built- and operated, with the best equip ment, the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac .would; then have to come, to the Legislature for .-additional ; privileges when: they could 'be " forced- to-, give up their exemption -from taxes and the: State would • not : only, receive . taxes from the 'new , road,^ estimated at. $8,000. : but. also taxes. from the Richmond,.

Bernard Carter, W. L. Marbury. arid D. Lawrence Groner, for the complainant, and Messrs. Cross, of the firm of Cowan, Cross & Bond; Leghß. Watts, Henry & Williams.. L. L. Lewis, and Edgar Allan; for de fendants. WERE LATK BEGINNING. The hearing was set for 10 o'clock, but it was nearly 11 when the. court wascall ed to order. Atlidavirs- were submitted by counsel for complainant at the outset... Mi-. Marbury. in presenting them, '-brielly" stated the reasons why they should be admitted. Judge Cross. . for ,the defend-, ants, objected to introduction "of .the af-., tidavits, contending *that all pertained to the -original- hearingv whereas, he hoped,.' the Court would ■ confine "argument -at this time to the amended and .supplemental bill, upon which alone counsel fur the de- I fendants had prepared themselves. : Judge; Cross objected mildly to the introduction of a "formidable array" of affidavits without any previous notice to the other side, whereupon he was reminded that during the hearing of; the original bill counsel for defendants. had. similarly sur prised complainant's counsel. " Of the four affidavits, two were admit ted and two ruled out. One of those ad mitted.is the statement .of Page, a stock holder, as to the proceedings of a meet ing of tin: Raleigh fahd Gaston railway ori January 2lst. and the other. a report of a New York lawyer on the statutes of North Carolina in relation to railway charters, being . introduced to show the alleged uncoiistitutipnality in that state of legislation similar to that enacted by the Virginia Assembly with reference to the Seaboard and Roanoke. The reject ed affidavits related to the earning ca^ pacitv of the Georgia and Alabama and. Florida' Central. and Peninsular railways. Before argument was commenced an agreement was entered into by" counsel | for both sides, and acquiesced in by the ! Court, whereby each side was; to open ! and close its case in the period: of three i hours and a half: The. object of this ar- r angement was to concludfe the ?ase, if possible, with'the day. MR. MARL-tURY'S. ARGUMENT. It was exactly noon When Mr. Marbury, ! of counsel for.Mr. Ryan, opened the case '■ for the complainant.- He spoke two hours, i and concluded with a vigorous expression ! of : opinion touching the stability, of the ; syndicate which seeks to bring about the 1 Seaboard Air-Line consolidation. . Mr Marbury laid givat stress, on the alleged illegality, of- the proceeding con templated by one clause of the act incor 1 porating the- Richmond, Petersburg, ami ; Carolina road,. wherein it is provided that, any dissatisfied stockholder may resort to i tlie Circuit Court -of • Richmond and have that tribunal, arbitrate. and hx, the value ■ of such stock^as petitioner; may hold, and compel -payment 1 at such-Valuation by the '. consolidated system." Such; a proceeding. i he said,rwould be aninvasion of the right i of the:individual; none, not even a court i of law. could deprive a': stockholder oi" his ■ right to hold his ; stock or sell it, as he ■might" elect. -Besides; : he said, it : would be impossible for a court to ascertain the valuefof. sueh r stock.. . ."'■ Assuming. . for the sake of argument, continued Mr.-i.
