Ball ting for Becs's Successo

FRANKFORT, Ky, May 13.-The vote
for senator in the Kentucky legislature
to-day was a mere farce, members voting
for each other, for "McGinty," "Annie
Rooney" ETC, as the humor led them.
The object Of this frivolity was to pre-
vent an election until after action of the
caucus. The democrrtic caucus to name
a candidate to succeed Senator Beck has
spent the night to midnight in making
speeches to put men in the field. Proctor
Knott, Carlisle and McCreary we're
named. Carlisle's men are for pushing
the contest to a conclusion, but the op-
position are united OF everything but
candidate, and control the caucus and
hope to wear out the Carlisle supporters.

Petition to the Czar for Siberian Exiles.
New YORK. Ma 13.-A movement has
been inaugurated to secure one million
signatures to memorial to be sent to
the czar of Russia, asking that he look
into and seek to ameliorate the condition
OF the exiles of Siberia. The movement
was started recently by suggestion
made at the church of Rev. McVickar of
Philadelphia. Now the petition has been
printed and copies sent all over tho
United States. Responses are coming in
at the rate of 1900 day. The petition
is couched in very moderate language,
reciting the friendly relations of the two
nations. It asks that the czar take no.
tice Of the widespread interest of our
people in the Siberia exile system. The
expression of the petition is that in the
punishment of some of her subjects,
Russia is not in harmony with the hu-
manizing sentiments of the age.

A Terrible Adventure-HoW Ce0tfolfo0o
Follow the Chase.
Cen,rAiia News.
Yesterday two of our citizens OF consid-
cradle local fame rs woodsmen and hunt
ers. decided. In . weak moment, to take an
expedition and dog into the country, to-
gether with couple of guns. with view
TO the certain destruction OF that innocent
production of natare-the duck. How well
they succeeded it is the purpose Of this
story TO relate. The two gentlemen were
our friend TOTES and the irrepressible DIR.
T. g. Smith. The dogs name We
have not vet learned, bat ii is i'm
material to the story. The doctor is
much more familiar with the ways of bac-
terra than dog. and we believe has
oftener explored the depths of the phar-
macopni than peered down the bore of .
rife. Be that as IL may, the dog refused to
follow him. evidently mistrusting the doc
tors motives and the surgical look of his
eye. The doctor finally persuaded the dog
to attend him by claiming him to his leg
with q chain about ten feet long.
All the preliminary arrangements be-
ing made the three marched out
on to the school section to where it is
ports himself. Several minor adventures
occurred on the way which created an
estrangement between the doctor and
the dog. but after while noble duck
was seen circiing in dangerous proximity
to the doctors head. With bated breath
and a destructive look in his eye, the
doctor raised his gun, and closing first one
optic and then both. fired square at the I'M
suspecting fowl and-missed it. THE
ways Of providence are not our ways"
and the gentleman was just be-
ginning to descant on the poor shooting
qualities of the gun and how much surer
the ancient bow and arrow would have
been in such close quarters, when the dog
led him to a spot where lay beautifully
colored and fat duck gasping in the last
throes OF returning consciousness, having
been hit on the hoQ1 by stray shot
from the doctors gun. The doctor
triumphantly grasped his prize and when
Toles asked him what he had got, assum-
ing an air as though he was in the habit
of shooting a duck every hour of his life,
he nonchalently tossed the apparently
dead duck over to his companion for in
spection when it-flew away and was seen
no more. Now, indeed, the doctors wrath
rose nightly, and turning fierceiy to the
dog. he accused that harmless quadruped
of being in league against him. The dog,
who possibly is as good . hunter as the
doctor. meekly answered nothing to
the charges brought against him,
and when the doctor threatened 10
tie him to tree and leave him he merely
laid submissively at his feet. Now &C.
Cured the mistake of his lifetime. In
order to tie the dog to q tree, the doctor
should necessarily unfasten the chain
from his own leg. but in an extreme abb
sence of mind he unfastened the end to
which was attached the dog, and carefully
hooked it to sapling. The dog ran home
and the doctor found he had chained HIM

An Heiress Impersonated by a Man in
Disguise.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 13.-One of the
most remarkable swindles on record has
Just come to light. Some months ago
two women called on J. E. Wells, real
estate broker, of this city. One of them
introduced herself as Miss Emma L.
Dick, niece of S. w. Dick, the deceased
capitalist. The alleged Miss Dick wished
to sell lot owned by her in this city,
for which she asked $35, 900. For sever
al months the women called on Wells at
intervals to ascertain whether he had
made sale. Finally he informed her
that the property could not be sold for
that sum. She then said she would bor-
row $4,000 on it. Wells acted as her
agent, and negotiated loan for that
sum from Thomas Crane, we'll
known capitalist. Sampson & Miller,
lawyers, searched the title and declared
it perfect. A mortgage on the property
was drawn up and placed on record last
Saturday afternoon, and the money paid
over. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
(Admission day. were legal holidays,
and the recording of the mortgage was
not published till Thursday morning in
the breviate of records. Then Madison
& Burke, real estate agents, who had
charge of Miss Dicks property, saw it
and investigated, with the result OF dis
covering that Miss Dick had made no
mortgage, and the woman who received
the money was an impostor. No clew
can be found to her whereabouts. Those
who saw her, now believe she was man
in disguise.

Associated Press Dispatches.1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The ways
and means committee this morning be-
gan formal consideration of the senate
amendments to the tariff bill and made
excellent progress. BY noon when an
adjournment was had, all the duty
schedules had been acted upon, leaving
the free list yet to be considered. In the
case of each amendment non-concurrence
was recommended. Where reduction
in the existing duties was proposed in
an amendment, the Democratic mem
bers moved concurrence, but otherwise
they contented themselves with a
simply negative vote on each
proposition. The Louisiana delegation,
Representatives Coleman, Blanchard,
Boatner and Wilkinson, were admitted
to the room when the sugar schedule
was under consideration, and united in
strong objection to the date March 1st,
next) when it is proposed the changes
made in the schedule shall take effect.
They proposed an extension of time to
July 1st, next, or failing in that, asked
that the new rates take effect immedi-
ately upon the passage of the bill. The
committee took an appeal under advise
ment and meanwhile agreed to recon-
mend non-concurrence in the senate
amendment to the sugar schedule.
In the house today McKinleny offered
resolution that the tariff bill, with the
senate amendments be not considered in
committee of the whole, but that they
be taken up in the house proper, and
that after debate, it be in order to move
to non-concur in the bill and amend
ments in gross, and agree to the commit
tee of conference asked by the senate.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee ON rules.
McCreary, of Kentucky, introduced
a resolution that the killing of General
Barrundia by the authorities OF Gaute-
mala, on board an American vessel,
demands immediate investigation, and
requests the president, if not incompati-
BILE with the public interests, to trans
NIT to the house all the information in
his possession concerning the transac-
ton.

IN BAD TASTE.
CalifOrnians Criticised for Criticising tn
Dual Worlds Fair Site,

Dual Worlds Fair Site.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-ConcerningT Thurs
days worlds fair meeting in San Fran
cisco, the Tribune says:
Even if their resolutions were not un-
necessary from every point of view, it
would hardly be proper to pass them.
The dual site was accepted by the ma
tional commission in which California
had two representatives who, it is to be
presumed, presented and advocated the
wishes OF their people. Ii they were out
voted in fair, open contest, that ought
to end the matter, and protests would
be in bad taste.
But itso happens that material changes
have been made in the site, and it is
impossible for any one to talk about the
horticultural and agricultural exhibits
being several miles from the attractive
features of the exposition. The fair
proper, will be at the southern end of
the dual site, where the Californians
will place their horticultural, agricul-
tural and other exhibits. They will not
be off on one side, but in the very heart
of the fair, and its chief object of inter
est will be within the same inclosure as
themselves; so the Californians might as
we'll withdraw their untimely resolu-
tions.
