PRIMARY ELECTIONS HELD.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1.-THE polls
opened at 7 a. m. for the most hotly
contested primary election ever known
in this congressional district or in any
other Kentucky district, IL not in the
country. The candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for congress are wv.
G. p. Breckenridge of Lexington, w.
G. Owens of Georgetown and Evan
Settle of Owentown, who have for
months been speaking at all points in
the e!ght counties. During the past
few months the contest has been very
bitter, and during the past 4S hours
charges have been made by candidates
against their opponents, which many
predict will yet result in resort to the
code or
BloOdshed OF Some Kind.
The primary election will name the
nominee, but it is feared that il will not
settle some other issues Besides the
feeling between contestants, lifelong
friends and neighbo&s are at swords
points. Wives, mothers and others are
apprehensive that those they love may
become involved in serious conflicts be-
fore the polls close at p. m. Some
ladies are taking more active part and
are ont electioneering against Breckin-
ridge. Many ladies' ake at the prayer
meetings called for supplications during
the election for the protection of the
honor OF homes, etc, but most OF the
female supplicants are at home. This
is due to the Pollard scandal, which
came out in the district soon after Col

years ago. and which

Something About Owens.

Il w. c. Owens, considered as most
likely to defeat Breckinridge in the
Ashland district, is a native of Scott
county, KY, one of the wealthiest in
the Blue Grass region, and, has lived
there all his life. He is Al years old
and unmarried. He is a graduate of
columbia college law school, of the
lass of 1872 Two years later he be.
Ean his political career in successful
Tace for county attorney of Scott county.
He resigned this Office and was sent to
the Legislature for five consecutive
tArms. He was Democratic elector for
his district in 1880, and delegate from
the state at large to the national DEM
ocratic convention at Chicago in 1892.
being chosen temporary chairman of
that body. He first ran for congress-
against Joseph G. S. Blackburn in 1852.
and has for some years heen looked
upon as the next in line whenever
Breckinridge should retire or be retired.

AS the returns from many voting
places must be carliSd long distances on
horseback to telegraph offices, if the re-
suit is close it is not likely that the
successful nominee will be known for
several days. The headquarters OF
Breckinridge and Owens are both here.
Settles headquarters are at Owenton
AS the Breclinriage men have the
more perfect organization as well as
the machine, they propose not to sleep
again till they know the result. 1t is
charged that they have used the party
machines in the canvass and will do SO
70 the last. The ruling Of the district
committee in challenging those sus-
pected of not supporting the nominee is
keeping many Democrats from the
polls, and it is also causing bad blood.
The fact tlat many bets have been
made on both sides is also having q
tendency to intensity the bitterness.

MT. RAINIER IN ERUPTION.
THE SOUND now BOASTS AN ACTIVE
VOLCANO.
A Mild Affair-Plenty of Snow-An Earth
quake Shock Felt at
Tacoma.

SEATTLE, Nov. 2l.-Snow clad Mount
Rainier, which rises like a big sentinel
south of this city, has been acting very
strangely to-day and is supposed to be
in state of mild eruption. The APP
pearance of the summit is entirely
changed, and new peak has appeared
in its center.
Soon after sunrise this morning, the
sky and air being remarkably clear,
clouds of black smoke were seen curling
from the southwestern part of the peak,
where the crater is located, coming at
intervals of about twenty seconds. The
domeike top had disappeared and had
been replaced by fiat top, with large
crevasse extending down the side, while
in the center of It's summit a new peak
had appeared on the northern side.
Steam was also seen mingling with
the smoke, which rose 100 feet above
the summit.
The story as collected from the testi
mony of five good citizens is that they
saw puffs of smoke coming from the
west side of the top of the mountain at
intervals of twenty seconds from 6:20 "A.
m. to about o'clock. The smoke came
up in huge, balloon-shaped masses, and,
after hanging suspended for a short
time, Were waited toward the east side
of the mountain by air currents.
Before o'clock the top of the mount
ain had lost its whiteness and appeared
dark. jagged and rough. At Tacoma
the story was not credited to any great
extent until they experienced an earth
quake this evening.

Paderewskis headquarters are in Paris.
In one of the long avenues radiating from
the Arc de Triomphe the Polish pianist
has fixed his abode, IA pretty little bachelor
apartment on the ground floor. Paderew-
ski comes to Paris for repose and rest and
does his best to hide the fact of his rc-en-
try from the horde of lady admirers and
troublesome amateurs who bore him.
Unless by appointment, it is impossible
to find Paderewski at home. You may
hear the sounds of pianoforte divinely
played, but the concierge will assure you
with his best bow, "n nest pas chez lui

es to take his constitutional there is often
u most amusing comedy played outside
his door There are n few people who
know his habits and about the hour he
goes out lie in wait for him. In this way
Padercwsli has been caught several times.
Now, however, he manages to outwit even
these bores, for when he goes out servant
is sent on before, and if any suspicious
loiterer is near IA cab Is hailed and drawn
up in the court. Padercwski steps in and
drives off n few strnote till he 10 far enough
away to get out and begin his promenade
unmolested and in peace.
The first thing that strikes the eye as
one enters Paderewski's salon is table
standing by the pianoforte, on which lie
an amusing assortment of cigarette cases
in all styles, the majority being in silver.
After you have studied these you notice
the large pictures in oils of Paderewski
himself, then the quantities of flowers in
handsome baskets tied up with bright rib
bons, the gifts of lady admirers. Paderew-
ski is seldom up to time, so that before
he will have come in you can notice every
thing-the silver wreaths, photographs
pictures, busts, bibelots. -Westminster

The Mystery of the Pleiades.

Pleiades:

WILL BE NO FREE SUGAR.
TINS II THE DECISION MADE ny
AMERICAN TINANCIEHs.
Government Must Have the Revenue
1t is Right Good News For these
Hawaiian Islands.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s.-The differ
ence of opinion among Democrats us
the ACCESSIBILITY of trying to pass the
popgun tariff bills during the short ses-
sion is made evident as members of
that party arrive in Washington and
discuss the question. 1t is believed
that this effort will result in but useless
agitation, and they cannot secure sufii-
cient unity of action to make il worth
while.
When the free sugar popgun bill had
passed the House after the Gorman-
Wilson bill had become a law, it was
held up very promptl~ in the Senate by
MIR. Carlisle's letter declaring that the
Government would have to have the
revenue derived from this duty. At
that time it was anticipated that after
the German bill had got into
operation the deficiency i'll revenue
would be more than met, and that
then the sugar duty might be repealed.
In this there has been a complete disap-
continent. and it has been demonstrated
more fully than ever that the revenue
from sugar cannot be spared. From
time to time there have been utterances
emanating from the Treasury Depart.
! ment calculated to impress upon the
public mind that no present source of
revenue can be dispensed with. Whether
this was intended to have any beating
upon the question of free sugar or not,
it has served as "A warning to advocates
II free sugar that they are at this time
helpless. The shortage in the revenue,
accompanied by the falling off in the
gold reserve and the consequent issue of
bonds, practically deposes of any propo-
sitlDn for free sugar.
