LOUISVILLE, Sept. 1.-THE coming
Senatorial contest is assuming shape
and attracting more or less attention
throughout the State. Williams and
Blackburn-than whom two more
positive or aggressive politicians do
not live in the Commonw ealth--are
in the field with visors down. 1t is
said their difficulty at Washington
was never settled but simply drawn.
If that be true the black flag will be
run up.
Carlisle is pursuing passive poll
cy but is thought that he will have
plenty Of support if he concludes to
unfurl his flag. 1t was believed by
some that Blackburn's withdrawal
from the speakership race meant an
understanding between him and
Carlisle, but this is denied by the
friends of both and not believed by
those who claim to know the true in
wardness of the situation. But when
these distinguished statesmen sit
down at night to figure out the sum
total of majority of Democratic
caucus of the next General Assembly,
a factor as disturbing as Banquo's
ghost is said to stalk in and upset
the calculation. He comes as yet in
questionable shape, but assumes
the outline of q chivalrous son of
Christian county-James A. McKen-
zic. | do not believe that he is a
candidate in any sense of the word,
but if he should shake his long
Scotch-red beard, in the thick of the
battle there would be q stirring OF
dry bones from Hopkinsville to Hick-
man. lie is a born orator and q truer
and drawer heart never beat beneath
a chieftain's corsclet. AS l said be-
fore, / do not believe he will be a
candidate, but if he does "come i'm

Deficits in a Trustees Accouuts.
 NEwBURGH, March 18.-Investigation of the late Judge Taylor's business indicates a heavy deficit. It is estimated by some as high as quarter of million of dollars. exaggerated and the amount will be greatly reduced by the sale of western lands in which he was an extensive investor. For many years Judge Taylor has been doing an exten- tensive business in the way of investing money for clients and his business interests have undoubtedly suffered from depreciation in real estate during the past ten years, Vague charges of negligent handling of se- curities are adoat, including money in his hands as trustee, and such charges have found their way into the local press. He was man of promin ence in political, social and religious circles and it is generally be- lieved that the deficiency has been caused by unfortunate investments rather than by an intention to defraud. Judge Taylor was ex- ecutor of the Phillip Verplanck estate, which originally amounted to quarter of a mil lion. Legacies amounting to $100,000 were paid by him and the balance was in his hands as trustee for the heirs. Of the $15e,- 900 left with him it is stated that only about $55,O00 remain, making deficiency of nearly $95, ,O0O Rumor also has it that nearly all of the Charles Reeve estate, Reeve, of Cornwall also loses several thous- ands. T. c. Vernol, of this city. is another large loser, but the amount is not fully known. Among others who are likely to lose amounts large and small are widows and business men.

The Sprague BOom-A Majority Claimed
 for Him in the Democratic Convention.
 NEWPORT, March 18.-Ex- Governor Sprague, so far, has eighty-three of the delegates who have been elected to attend the Democratic convention to be held in Providence on Tues day. The total number of delegates entitled to vote in the convention is 108, and Sprague's friends who are working like bea vers, boast openly that they will elect their man. The Republicans have not as yet com menced the campaign work. The Democrats have presented or are to present ticket that will be indorsed by the conference com mittee appointed by the Independent conven- tion- Charles J. George, of Providence, will probably be nominated for Lieutenant Gov. erner; ex-Attorney General William Willard Sayles, of Providence, for Attorney General, and David s. Baker, of South Kingstown,
 for Secretary of State. A Newport man will probably be nominated for State Treasurer.
 Wise counsels have prevailed among the Dem ocrats, and it is stated that General Butler is the man who suggested the course about to
 be taken by that party.

Heavy Shipments to the East.

CHICAGO, March 1s.-Although navigation
 will be open in less than month, there is no decline worth mentioning in east bound freight shipments from this city. The off, cials express surprise that freight shipments 1 to the East should be so heavy at this season l of the year and the business done during the last four weeks exceeded their most sanguine expectations. East bound shipments at this season of the year were nevergo heavy as at present. During the week just passed the shipments of four, grain and provisions amounted to 67, ,5O9 tons, against 39, ,571 tons for the corresponding week in 1882 and AS, 332 tons in 1881. Thus it will be seen that at present east bound shipments are about twice as heavy they were at this time last year and about one-half more than at this season in 1881, when east bound shipments were considered unusually heavy. The cause of the present boom is the brisk de- mand for four and corn in the East and the advanced prices of these articles follow ing the floods in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Shippers seem to feel that the prices of grain and four are now higher than they will be later in the season and for this reason they are anxious to dispose of all the stuff they can get at once without waiting for the lower rates which will follow the opening of navigation. It is hard to tell how much longer this boom will last. Much of the corn on hand has been disposed of al- ready and if shipments continue heavy as they are now for few weeks longer it is quite certain that business both by rail and lake will be unusually light during the sum- mer.

Messengers as servants-A Colored Man

 -Happen1ngs at the Capital
 WASHINGTON, March 1S.-There is consid- erable comment here over the publication this morning of letters between Secretary Chandler and Oliver c. Black, late 8 colored messenger in the office of Chief Naval Con structor Wilson.

 In response to inquiries from collectors of customs at various ports the acting Secretary of the Treasury has instructed them that du- ties should be assessed upon the full invoice value of merchandise covered by invoices stating the value of the goods free on board at the foreign port of shipment, that is, the value, including charges, costs and oom- missions, without regard to the provisions of section T of the naW tariff Qnf which abolishes the duties on such charges He suggests that importers pay the duties under protest so as to protect any rights they may have in the premises The ques- ton whether estimate may properly be made in such cases by the appraising officers to cover the charges and commissions, and whether the amount of such estimate may thereupon be deducted from the invoice value is reserved by the acting secretary for future and until after he shall have received reports in regard to the matter from the proper authorities.

Nzw YORK, March 18.-Mrs. LiIlie Dever- au Blake answered Dr. Dix's sixth lecture on ''Woman's Mission this evening" Mrs Blake in her opening read the fourth chapter of Judges, giving an account of the heroic deeds of Deborah in her contests against the Canaanites and the ultimate defeat and death of Sisera. She as a woman ruled her coun- trymen while her husband was a hanger on at the court. Mrs. Blake stated that because women love their homes and their children that they ask for greater privileges. She said that New York would not have filthy streets if there were city mothers instead of city fathers, and that if wom on were on the board of aldermen MT. Wander bilt would not impose upon the public as he does now. In war women had proved them selves invaluable, and for the services render ed by the heroines of the late civil war the only reward they got was that meted out to Jefferson Davis, namely disfranchisement In conclusion she said that when woman's in- fuence is felt in it's proper place men will be more human and their minds converted from brute force,

 NEWARK, March 19.-The nuptials of J Echaffer and Miss Annie Levi were celebrated here to-day in the Bedford street synagogue by the Rev. Dr. Zensler, the Jewish rabbi. The place was thronged and in the street in the vicinity of the synagogue was a large crowd of i'll behaved persons who kept up hooting and shouting.

The Anniversary of the Commune.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-To-day being the anniversary of the Paris commune of March IS, 1871, the various socialistic and commun- istic societies in this city held high festival. A large and influential company attended at the Concordia Assembly rooms. The pro- gramme of the evening consisted of 8 con- cert and an address by Herr Most, concluding with ball. The decorations were all red, the ladies wearing red hats and ribbons and even little children were dressed in scarlet and white. The notices on the banners and drapery were as follows: "Weath is solid in it's origin and must be solid in it's destination ;' ''Our object is the reorganization of society, inde- pendent of priest king, capitalist or loafer'' The Marseillaise was sung by all with full lung power and on the smallest provocation and large item in the proceedings to enliven the Tagging enthusiasm of the communists was lager beer which flowed freely and fre- quently. Herr John Most in his speech sta ted that the mistake of the commune in Paris in 1871 was that 1t was too humane. The commune of the future will be establish ed regardless of humanity and with firm hand to wield the work of destruction.
