Court of Appeals rules dictate governorship outcome
In Frankfort Kentucky April 7 the court of appeals decided for the democrats in the governorship case holding that the legislature seated Gov Beckham was final and the courts cannot review it. Judge Hobson wrote the court's opinion with four democrats and two republicans in agreement while two republicans Barnum and Guffy issued a separate but concordant view. The decision questions Taylor authority and notes the possibility of appealing to the US Supreme Court.

Rhodes at London and aftermath of trip
Cecil Rhodes arrived in London on Friday and kept reticent about South African affairs after recent meetings with Alfred Bell and Dr. Rutherford Harris at Madeira. He moved under guard from ship to train, avoiding public interaction as media attention waned and security tightened. In Brussels the Lipido case shows the prince of Wales assault was unpremeditated, influenced by others. A cloudburst near Austin floods the Nueces basin, washing away crops and damaging a Southern Pacific bridge and tracks.
