Frankfort, Ky, March This, the
nth day Of March, will be an unenvia-
bic memory in the history OF Kentucky
state politics. Blind partisanship and
bitter passions usurped the place Of cool
judgment and sober thought; At times
It looked as if there might be an out
break Of mob violence. When II be
came known outside that the house had
unseated Kaufman, the democrat. and
that the senate had unseated the repub-
licsns, James and Walton, the aspect
looked so threatening that many of the
great crowd that throLged the corridors
made rush to get away. There was an
unseemIy rush for the joint assembly
door, which was guarded by large body
of armed men
At one time the explosive point was
almost reached. That point would
doubtless have been reached if the re-
publicans had attempted 10 force the IN
seated senators into the joint assembly
meeting. Kaufman, the democrat IN
seated by the house. was already in the

left one unseated democrat and one TN

Republican Dunlap Wifhdraws His
Contest for q seat.

Cincinnati, March IO.-A special &c
the Commercial Gazette from Frank
fort. Ky, says: Dunlap. the republican
contestant of the democrat Kaufman s
seat in the house, withdrew his contest
today. The republican managers claim
that the case Is in the hands OF the
house, and Dunlap has no say in the
matter Furthermore, they express a
determination 70 unsea. Kaufman to-
morrow.
The senate today passed resolution
for the immediate expulsion of ineligi-
bic Senator's, also that the Clerk shall
put the question and announce the de-
cision in all appeals from the decision Of
the chair. Several sound money demo
Gratis in the senate are opposed to the
expulsion of republican senators, and
also desire that the house shall not ex-
pei Kaufman.
Five republican members of the house
advised Dunlap to Withdraw n stating
his reasons for withdrawal Dunlap cited
the facts that only six working days OF
the session remained. that further press
ing OF the contest would prevent legisla-
ton, and that the evil from neglect Of
legislation would over-balance all the
benefit to the party to be derived from
his being seated.
The outlook tonight indicates that
both the house and the senate viii resort
to revolutionary measures soon.

ground, that the company, which was
organized in West Virginia, was Of

Washingto March 9.-Anoth stir
ring chapter in the Spanish Cuban con-
troversy was added by the Senate today.
Many senators indicated desire to be
heard on the subject, and the conference
report, accepting the house Cuban reso-
buttons, went over until tomorrow.
All of the public and reserved CALLER
les were filled to overlooking, with long
lines of anxious people standing in the

Chung of the Chinese legation and
and many of the secretaries, attaches
and members Of the. legation household.
The bright costumes Of the ladies of
the diplomatic circle and the rich silken
robes of the Chinese diplomatists gave
touch of bright color to the animated
scene.
The speech Of the day was made by
Senator Hale of Maine, in vigorous op-
position to the resolution and to the
offensive interference Of the United
States in foreign questions. The sena-
tor declared the spirit of militiarism was
abroad in the land; that our course in
volved the possibilities Of war, with all
its dreadful consequences. Mr.. Hale
brought out the kindly action of Spain
at the time o: our civil war, when Brit |
ish- built privateers were prevented from
remaining for any length OF time in
Spanish ports, and when American /
prisoners were aboard they were re-
leased by Spanish orders.
\ dramatic incident occurred when
Mr.. Hale offered to read the statement /
of Minister de LONE of Spain, calling in
question the accuracy Of some of the
statements made by Senators Sherman.
Morgan and Lodge, concerning Span
ish atrocities. Mr.. Davis OF Minnesota
quickly objected to the reception of a
document from foreign minister not
formally transmitted Messrs. Mitchell
IF Oregon, Morgan and Teller added
heir protest in the same direction. For
time there was some confusion and
prospect of serious conflict, but the Sc
entity of the debate was restored BY Mr..
Davis Withdrawing his objection.
Mr.. Hoar offered a resolution today,
all action on the Cuban .
question until April Sth. This resolu-
ion will come up under the rules to-
morrow and may form the basis OF op-
osition to an adoption Of the house con
erence report. Another resolution by =,
fr Hoar was adopted, calling on the
resident for all available information
n the Cuban subject.
The latter part of the day was given

work before Chandler took him in charge.
Mr.. North says that the great Nebraska
horse went a mile in 2:l5 in 1894 and
that his owner drove him half in 1:O7Rs
and that he could have gone much faster
at that time had he been pushed. Mr..
North, in his letter, adds: "Mr. Myron

In Wallace's Farmer, as good an
authority on such subjects as there is in
the country, there is this said OF kaffir
corn: 1T does not belong to the same
family as corn or maize, but is non
saccharine sorghum, that is sorghum
that does not store up sugar to the ex-
tent that justifies sugar production. 1t
is emphatically dry weather crop, pecu-
liarly adapted to the arid and semi-arid
regions, but We do not believe it can be
profitably cultivated in country where
the corn crop is reasonably certain. 1t
is all right for farmers to grow it as an
experiment on two or three acres, but it
is all wrong to invest large amount in

Monday morning Sheriff kavanaugh
started for Chicago, having requisition
for George Mostak, who is wanted on
the charge of selling mortgaged property
to the amount of $500. We are informed
that Joseph Sobus, neighbor of Mos
tak's, some time ago sold mortgaged
property and got away from his credi-
tors, which probably induced Mostak to
make his venture, but he reckoned with
out his host. 1. Gluck was after him;
telegraphed to Chicago, Greenbay, and
other places. The arrest was made at
Chicago. 1t seems that, besides the
$500 in question, Mr.. Gluck had loaned
him $500 on a real estate mortgage to
get his homestead and make start in
farming.
