FRANKFORT, KY., FEB. 22.—The state capital tonight is guarded by fewer soldiers than it has been at any time since the assassination of the late Governor Goebel. Adjutant General Collier today, acting under directions from Governor Taylor, summoned all of the soldiers before him and told them that such of them as did not desire to remain in the service longer might return to their homes. About 150 went home, leaving probably 100 still here.
The weather during the greater part of the time the soldiers have been here has been of the most trying character, but the percentage of illness has not been large.
The legislature was not in session today, having adjourned on account of Washington's birthday, and it is doubtful if either house will have a working attendance tomorrow.
