KENTUcKY's LEGISLATURE.
CnrroIrs Defeat Would Elect Re-
publican as United states senator.

Frankfort. KY, Nov 1S.-The resigna-
ton Of ex-Speaker A. J. Carroll Of Louis
vile awakens some interest in the sena-
torial race, and on the outcome OF his re-
election or defeat will most probably hinge
the political complexion of the next sem
ator to succeed ]. G. S. Blackburn. Should
Mr.. Carroll go down in defeat II will sink
all the hopes of the election Of a demo-
cratic senator and It will set at rest all
doubt that the legislature is republican
on joint ballot. Before Mr. Carrolrs res
ignatiOn, the legislature stood 6s 10 g.
with the two populists holding the balance
Of power.
Horace j. Poor of Pendleton was elect
ed on a combination between the republic
cans and populists, and, IL is claimed,
with the understanding that he support a
republican for the United States Senate
Should this be the case, and in the con-
tingency OF Mr.. Carrolls reelection, there
would still be a deadlock, and should
this be kept up to the end Of the session
and Mr. Poor be discharged of his obli-
cation Of standing by the republicans, 1t
Is thought by some, he might exercise his
personal preference and vote for Joe
Blackburn, or some other free silver dem
ocrat, should one be nominated. Neither
side has yet given up the legislature. The
situation is at present a most interesting
one, and in case of Mr.. Carrolls re-elec-
ton, # the republicans do not unseat
members of the House, II will inevitably
result in a deadlock

New York. Nov. 1S.-The New York
Yacht Club. at one Of the largest and
most representative meetings ever held
in its club i.ouse, took action this even
ing on the charges which Lord Dunraven
has made over his signature in the Lon
don Field. A committee, composed OF
William G. Whitney, j. Pierpont Morgan
and George l.. Rives. was appointed. with
fun power to take such action In the
name Of the club as they deem proper.
The club house was filled with the most
substantial members of the club. The
gentlemen present acted as one man in
taking the first step toward investigating
the ugly charge of fraud which has been
made, While It Is probable that there was
no one present who gave the least parti-
Gle Of credit to Lord Dunravens accusa-
ton, the sentiment OF the members was
that the late challenger should be given
every opportunity TO prove his charges.
A letter from II. Maitland Kersey, the
American representative Of Lord Dun
raven, was read, stating that Lord Dun
raven had cabled to-day announcing his
willingness to come over and place him.

MISSISSIPPI REPUBLICANS.
The state Election Law TO BE Tested
Before Congress.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 18.-John r. Lynch,
the colored republican leader, is in the
city, en- route to East Mississippi on a
mission of advice and consultation with
local republican leaders with a view to
putting in the field a congressional ticket
in the national election next year. This
Is to be the basis Of the proposed contest
before congress and the courts OF the
Mississippi election law.
Leading constitutional lawyers OF the
north and east advise taking this course.
Lynch's choice for President Is Gov. Nc
Kinley, but he is opposed to the southern
republicans taking an aggressive posi-
ton on the question, but thinks they
should go TO the national convention un-
instructed and be governed by the demi-
nant sentiment Of the north Lynch goes
from here to Meridian, Macon. Okolona
and Corinth TO get the boy in the
trenches in line. He says his faction IS
in the ascendency in this state. and will
control the delegation TO the republican
national convention. 1t Is interesting to
know that some three or four weeks ago,
before Lynch went to Ohio, he was a Har-
risOn man. He seems confident now the
ex-President is not candidate.
A fusion of Mississippi republicans and
populists IS limited at and charged.
