frankfort, KY, says: st. John Boyle
will be elected United States senator.
This will certainly be done before the
legislature adjourns, and it may be
done tomorrow. Senators Sherman
and Hoar and Speaker Reed have wired
Mr.. Boyle that since the death of
Weissinger siXty-nine members consti-
tute quorum. The joint assembly may
pass on the right of the expelled SEN
ators, James and Walton, to have their
votes recorded, yet it has no right to
do so. The United States senate is
the only tribunal vested with that
power
In spite Of the mayors police, the
men who acted as intimidators at the
door of the assembly room yesterday
were allowed to mobilize in a cloak
room, though the rotunda and CORR
doris were cleared of all others. Mayor
Julian approached Hon. st. John Boyle
today and offered to clear the halls if
he would have Senators James and
Walton removed from the joint assem-
bly, meeting. Mr.. Boyle declined About
this time the following affidavit was
made in the executive Office and filed
with Gov. Bradley, with an application
for military projections:
Frankfort, KY, March r. - The afiant
states that he, only few moments ago, heard
Jack Chinn and policeman, who is now in
the rotunda OF the capitol, say that when the
joint assembly met they would go into the
house chamber and take therefrom DR.. A. d.
James and DR.. j. Q. Walton, of the senate.

The action of the senate yesterday in
unseating James H. Walton was taken
writ ntf oh 4,,s4
any show of legality. Wood Dunlap
has not decided whether he will con-
sent to be sworn in, but it Is believed
he will. He said today: "I will take
my seat if my vote will elect United
States SENATOR Senator Bill Clark
today heard that it was contemplated
to unseat him in the same manner as
James and Walton were unseated. He
at once announced a bet Of 81, 900 to 81
that if this should be done, that no.
body would prevent him from enter
ing the joint assembly and voting. The
Republicans are perfectly confident to-
night that they have the vures to elect
Boyle.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 12-The
one thing that seemed to be settled
by today's doing in the joint assem-
bly, is that Kentucky will have but
one representative in the United States
senate from March 4, 1897, when Sen
ator Blackburn's term expires, until
at least January, 1888, when the next
legislature can meet and fill the va
cancy. There was no lack of appre-
hension of renewed danger of an out
break. Mayor Julian, with a force of
police, cleared the rotunda of mere
curiosity hunters, but in the cloak
rooms and elsewhere were enough men
to have done much harm if the oc-
casion had arisen. Perhaps the ap-
prehension Of difficulty tended to pro-
duce unusual self-restraint and so
the scene ended without other turmoil
than that of debate.
The newly installed Republican in
the house did not qualify before the
joint assembly met, and so was not
factor. The Republicans adopted
the tactics of breaking the quorum
and this brought from Lieut.. Gov.
Worthington the ruling that seventy
members constitute a quorum neces-
sary to elect senator. SO long as
this ruling stands no election can be
held except by breaking over party
lines.
AS soon as the Democratic leaders
found that the two members of the
senate, James and Walton, had Sc
cured admission to the house cham
Der, they raised a protest. Mayor JUL
ian, who was on hand with extra DO
licemen, was found and asked to see
that the men were removed peaceably
from the floor of the house, before the
joint assembly convened, in order that.
all trouble might be prevented. The
mayor refused to do so. and said ina.
it was within the power of the house
if it chose to do so, to eject the two
men. Senator Bronston argued for
some time with the mayor, but with
out effect.
BALANCE WITH THE POPS.
When the senate filed into the house
chamber to ballot for United States
senator, Mr.. Dunlap had not arrived
on the floor or qualified When this
fact become known it served to cool
to great degree the excitement 1t
was evident that the endeavor of the
Republicans to elect a senator today
would fail unless, of course, the Pop
ulist vote of Poor had been received.
Half a dozen ladies were in the right
hand lobby of the house chamber in
spite of the exciting times of yester-
day. They included Miss Laura Clay.
Mrs. j. K. Henry and, mother, of Yer
Sailles.
Senator Bronston asked that the
journal of each house of yesterday be
read. An objection was made to the
reading, and the chair sustained the
objection, and said that he had under
stood that the journal of the joint as
sembly was to be read. Bronston made
the point that the journal of the Joint
assembly must include the journals or
each house. He again made the same
argument as on yesterday, that there
was no separate journal kept of joint
assembly, and that it was therefore
necessary to have separate journals
of each house read in accordance with
the law, and not to serve to delay the
taking of the ballot.
Mr.. Lands took the position that the
joint assembly had no jurisdiction to
change or correct anything that oc-
CURED in either house on yesterday,
and that Mr.. Bronston had no right to
make a request to have anything read
except the journal of the joint assem-
bly,. He asked the chair to declare the
gentleman out of order. Mr.. Blanford
said that the joint assembly had no
right to approve or correct any part OF
the journal of the house or senate of
yesterday, and therefore neither should
be read.
Bronston said: ''The time has come
when we must understand each other.
The journals of the house and senate
of yesterday are but a part of the
journal of the joint assembly," The
chair decided that the joint assembly
