THE KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
Less Indication of Trouble-The
Talk About BayOnets.

FRANKFORT, KY, February THE
senatorial situation presents no sensa-
tionsl feature, and there is less indica-
ton of trouble. The crowds Of prospec-
tive deputies around the doors are
smaller and more orderly. The State au-
thorities are not telling their plans, and
no authoritative statement can be had
as to the exact line that will be adopted
TO suppress the proposed deputies. should
they he sworn I'm by the Democrats Of
the Senate.
Governor Bradley positively denies the
story to the effect that IL had been de-
cided to call out the State troops to sup
press any possible conflict in legislative
circles. The Governor did not deny that
the proposition was discussed in the Re
publican caucus last night, but he said
that ne had not yet even looked up the
law on the subject. and was not fully
convinced that he has authority TO call
out troops under such circumstances.
The talk was that persons attending the
Joint assembly to-day might have TO
march through g. hne OF bayonets before
getting into the assembly lobbies, and
the result was a bigger general attend
ance than ever. For the first time In
several days many ladies were present.

THE NEW SECRETARY.
smith ON GOV. Francis Ap-
pOintment- Something About the
New Member of the Cabinet.

Washington, Aug 26.-Secretary Smith
evinced the greatest satisfaction when he
heard the name of his successor. He
said in response to question:: IL have
the pleasure of an intimate personal ac
quaintance with Gov. Francis and esteem
him most highly. He is man of marked
ability. OF course feel deep interest
in the department and don't know any
ole to whom / would more Willingly
turn it over"
St. Louis, Mo-Ex Gov. David Row
land Francis is nearly As years of age,
having been born at Richmond, Madison
county, KY, October 1, 1850. His educa-
tien was received in Washington univer
sity, this city, his family having moved
to st. Louis. In 1870 he graduated, re-
ceiving the degree of B. A. His first em-
ployment was with grain commission
house, continuing until 1877, when he
began business for himself. In 1884 the
D. R. Francis & Brother Commission
company was established, and as result
of the growth of his firm that same year
he became president of the Merchants
exchange.
His first political position was that of
delegate to the national Democratic con-
vention of 1884. In April, 1885, he was
elected mayor of st. LOWS, having been
nominated as dark horse on the fif
teenth. In 1888 Mr.. Francis was elected
governor of Missouri. At the ex piration
of his term in 1892 he resumed the active
management of his old firm, which had
been kept up by the other members of
the house, with occasional supervision by
the governor himself. His connection
with politics since 1892 has been that Of
a simple citizen with an active interest
in the welfare of his party and country.
He has always been staunch Democrat.
Mr.. Francis is a leader in st. Louis
society. He has four childr,
Gov. Francis took a strong stand in
favor of the gold standard in the pre-
liminary battle for delegates to the Chi
cago convention, but he and his asso-
ciates were disastrously beaten in his
state. During the convention he was
also active. Since the convention he has,
it is said by his friends here, given no
public utterances as to his position with
regard to the Chicago ticket, and so far
as known has not, at least actively, allied
himself with the movement for the In
dianapolis convention.
Gov. Francis throughout his political
career has been a strong supporter and a
warm friend of Mr.. Cleveland and the ad
! ministration.
