came from one of tho opponents of re-
pcal-Srnator Cullom of Illinois. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Cullom at
tackled the New York machine, and cs-
pccially Isaac II. Maynard, the defeated
candidate for Judge. This brought Sen
,tor Hill to his feet. and long dialogue
was begun The Democratic managers
are very DESTROYS of having the federal
elections bill disposed of in the senate be-
fore the holidays. They are especially
anxious to have the bill out of the way
ate. In this they may be antAgonized by
the Republicans. who have shown dis
position to discuss the bill at length.
Senator Stewart of Nevada, in short
speech. advocated the repeal Of the cleo
ton laws. and incidentally gave express
sion to some of his well known views on
the financial question. The resolution
calling upon the president for additional
information in the Hawaiian matter was
laid over in order that Mr.. Frye of Maine
might submit some remarks.
The house discussed the question of
pinning another star on the American
flag. The consideration of the bill for
the admission into the sistcrhood of
states was begun. The principal point at
issue was whether the enabling act
should contain proviso imposing pains
and penalties for polygamous marriages,
the contention on the one hand being that
the state should come in on an equal
footing with other states, unhandicapped
by such provisions. and OH the other that,
as polygamy had been stamped out by
federal statutes, and as the admission of
the territory would repeal that statute,
congress should make it practically part
of the enabling act.

CAMEL COAL.
Three Barges Floated Down the
River this Week From the
South Fork of the Ken
lucky.

The floating to this city on Mon
day of three barges of 5000 bushels
each of Kentucky river camel coal
was an event Of more than usual
significance. 1t foreshadows what
will happen when the improvement to
navigation is completed. The coal
was dug out of a high cliff on the
South Fork and hauled one and one
half miles to the bank where it re-
NAMED for nearly eight months
awaiting water enough to bring it
down the river. There is an mex
haustible supply of this splendid
camel coal on the South Fork, and
it is easily mined for or Az cents a
bushel, as w. G. Gaywood says, who
brought the barges to this city, but
before it can reach the market by
reason of the present insufficient
faculties for transportation, more
than eight or nine cents have been
added to the cost, and when it gets
to the dealer, he is obliged to pay
fourteen cents for what, if the river
improvements were completed, he
could buy for nine or ten cents and
still leave a good margin for the
owners of the mines. AS it is now,
Caywood says there is no money in
it to him at fourteen cents and he
does not propose to bring any more
of it down the river. He sold two
barges to Clifton dealer and one to
E. M. Williams, and as the coal,
though high, is most superior in
quality and believed to be a very
saleable article, Black & Hughes
subsequently bought one of the
barges from the Clifton dealer.

FRANKFORT KY, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1893
RESIDENT RIVER ENGINEER.
Capt. I. v. Hoag, jr., Retired, and
Succeeded by Lieut.. H. E.
Waterman of the Regu-
lar Army.

Lieut.. H. E. Waterman, of the
army engineer corps, and a grad
uate of West Point, was appointed
last week to succeed Capt. 1. V. Hoag,
jr., as resident engineer in charge of
the Kentucky River Improvement.
Lieut.. Waterman arrived Saturday
and has entered upon the discharge
Of his duties. Though young man,
it is said that he has had considera-
BILE experience on river improvement
works and is held in the highest es-
TEEN by his superior officers who
consider him one Of the ablest engi-
neers in the corps. He is the first
regular army engineer who has had
charge of this river and his appoint
ment is regarded as significant of the
belief of the Board of Engineers that
the people here are in earnest and
mean to push the matter before Con-
gress and have the improvements to
navigation completed at the very
earliest moment, to accomplish which
will require the attention and direc
ton of chief of the most superior
qualifications.
Capt. Hoag, who retires from the
service to undertake more lucrative
business, as a contractor for large
public works, has made many friends
in this city whose regrets at his de-
parture and good wishes for his
future prosperity will accompany
him to his new field of enterprise,
