Boyle, the republican nominee. was con-
sulting all night. Into his rooms at the
Capitol Hotel the leaders went with mys-
FERROUS rapidity.
1t was not denied that Mr.. Boyle and his
friends determined to ignore the illegal ex-
pulsion Of Senators James and Walton by
the senate Wednesday, and that at the
their seats. be recognized by the chairman
and cast their votes for Boyle, whether
the clerk of the senate, who is chief clerk
of the Joint assembly, recorded their votes
or not OF course, he will refuse to call
their names or enter their votes as cast on
decided, is not necessary if Dunlap will
qualify and vote for the nominee.
Mr.. Boyle received another long telegram
from Senator John Sherman today, in
which he gave 1t as his opinion that sixty
nine votes constituted legal quorum since
the death of Senator Weissinger, and with
Dunlap and the two Illegally expelled sena-
tors voting with the other sixty-siX men,
bers. would elect, and that, in his opinion,
the Ser ate of the United States would SO
decide.
The ruling of Lieutenant Governor
Worthington yesterday, that seventy votes
were required to make a legal quorum, did
not disturb the leaders. They believed
that the ruling would be changed. The
republicans called in all the pairs. There
was to be no faith put in the vote of Popu-
list Poor for Boyle, although that unfor-
tuEate member was overwhelmed by let
tiers and kilograms from his home county,
urging him to vote for the nominee. Both
James and Walton were in the house cham
Der shortly after that body met. DR..
James declares he will answer his name
If called. Walton says the same.
1t develops this morning that the demo-
cratic members are far from being united
on the policy to be pursued.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Another Fruitless Ballot Taken at
Frankfort, Ky.
DUNLAP REFUSED TO Be SWORN IN
Trouble Was Looked for and Did
Not Occur
SEN ATORS WERE EXCITED

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 13.-The situ-
alton this morning seemed really more seri-
Gus than at any time Sir &c the joint SEES
slons hav.. been held. While everything
was quiet up to the hour of 10 o'clock, when
both houses assembled, there was apparent
a spirit among the leaders on both sides to
carry out their most extreme measures. 1t
was the purpose yesterday of the republic
cans to elect a Senator. but seeing that
they would be overpowered by the extra
force of police sworn in to assist Jack
Chinn and associe ties, they submitted and
broke the quorum.
Today they changed their plans. The
sheriff of Franklin county having been APP
pealed to. promises to see that no outsider
remained on the floor of the house during
the joint session, and also that those hav-
ing a right to the floor should not be
moested. This promise of Sheriff Arm
strong was made to Gov Bradley this
morning on condition that the governor
would not call out the militia.
Sheriff Armstrong and twelve deputies
were given charge of the Hobbies and CORR
doris of the Capitol. There was also
Sprinkling of bluecoatS in the crowd.
Yesterday both the deposed senators.
James and Walton, entered the house side.
where the joint session is held, long before
the hour of taking the ballot. but today DR..
with the other senators for the joint session.
1t was decided that if an attempt were made
to stop him the presiding officer and the
doorkeeper should inform the sheriff that
Senator Walton had right on the floor.
Then. if the sheriff refused to admit him.
the militia would be called out.
There were few who knew the plans of
the republicans. 1t was felt that if they
were carried out there would be clash of
arms between the militia one side, the
police. sheriffs posse and thugs on the
other.
Excitement was intense and many timid
members were afraid to attend the sessions
OF the house.
Just before the senate adjourned for the
joint session. Mr.. Bronston. offered a reso-
luton censuring the governor for ordering
the sheriff to clea- the cloak rooms. The
resolution was lost ty 10 to Is. the sound
money democrats voting with the republic
cans.
Dr.. Walton was allowed to pass into the
JOINT assembly unmoleSted.
Dunlap refused again to qualify this
morning. and the republicans will make
no attempt to force an election as they
cannot command a quorum without Dun
laps vote.
The republicans refused to vote and the
quorum was broken. The forty-ninth bal
lot resulted: Blackburn, 30; Carlisle, Is;
Buckrer, /.

HELP FOR THE NEEDY.
Distressing Cases Reported to the As.
socintcd Charities.


socintcd Charities.
The Associated Charities and it's agents
have had their hands full during the past
few days endeavcring to provide for the
suffering POOR, whose condition has been
rendere pitiful in large number of cases
by the stormy weather. A Star reporter
examlL ed the reports turned into Secretary
Wilson this morning showing the record Of
yesterday, and some of the cases cited
were very touching. The majority Of cases
are those Of sickness, and most of the re-
ports of such cases bore the Endorsement
Refused because of lack Of funds"
Another agent, after citing case of desc
lation, asked: Can anything be done to
save these people from starving?" There
was an instancOset forth Of woman liv-
ing in a small shanty on the bleak COM
mons. She is i'll, and has young baby,
ard Is absolutely without means.
Secretary Wilson wishes It understood
that by the system employed it is impos-
sible for deception or duplication TO be
practiced and therefore every cent con-
tributed is sure to be expended where it
will do the most good. The responses to
the call for aid are coming in steadily, and
it is now possible to assist in slight de-
gree some of the extreme cases that are
ton, but more funds are needed at once
John Joy Edison and The Evening Star, in
response to the appeal of the emergency
relief committee, up to this afternoon, are
foIlo.vc.

WICHITA, Kan. March 13.-The prohi-
bition police administration of Wichita
came to an end yesterday, when Oscar
Smith. who was recently made secretary

II. Clay Evans Says They Will BE
the Republican WntchwOrds.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March BIN an
interview with an American reporter. H.
Clay Evans probable nominee by the
publicans for governor of Tennessee, and
prominently spoken of as nominee for
the vice presidency, said,. relative to the
national campaign:
Reciprocity and protection will be the
watchwords of the national republican
campaign in 1896. do not think the finan-
cial question will cut a great figure in the
campaign. 1 favor the use of both gold and
silver. but am for the single standard of
valuation. Or. in other words L am in
favor of all money which is issued by the
government whether gold, silver or paper
money, being worth 100 cents in value and
each as good as the other"
Mr.. Evans also said If he was nominated
for governor he thought he would be easily
elected.

torian Prince under the name of Mattewan;
to amend section 4131 of the Revised Stat
utes. so as to require that all officers of
vessels having American register shall be
citizens of the United States. The latter
bill is to go into effect January 1, 1897.
Mr.. Payne On. W, chairman of merchant
marine and fisheries, explained that since
1893. when the steamers New York and
Paris were given American register, the
Treasury Department construed the act Of
1884 to permit the employment of aliens
az officers. and that the engineers and as
sistants on both those vessels were aliens.
AS these and other vessels could be used
by the government in case OF war as crC:S-
of the naval reserve it was important
that all of their officers should owe al
1egiance to the United States. The bill also
extended the time of engineer licenses TO
five years.
Tonnage Duties.
Another bill called up by Mr.. Payne
casioned some debate but was finally.
passed. 1t provided for the repeal of exist
ing laws exempting from tonnage duties
vessels from countries which extended like
exemptions to our vessels. and also provided
for the reduction of tonnage for vessels ply
ing between the Americas or the outlying
islands and the United States from three to
two cents per ton The law for reciprocal
exemption. Mr. Payne said, was passed in
the hope that all maritime nations would
join in the repeal of such duties. But only
Germany and the Netherlands joined the
ARRANGEMENT As result of the arrange
ment since 1SSS German vessel owners had
been saved $3SOGO0 in tonnage tax and the
Netherland owners slOo,SD. while American
owners had saved but few thousand.
The consideration of the election case was
then resumed.
For the COntestee.
Mr. Dinsmore LArkJ closed for the con-
testee. Mr.. Robbins. with glowing appeal to
members to diyest themselves of partisan
feeling and to vote as their convictions die
tated- The whole case of the majority, he
said. rested in the assumption that all the
negroes in the south were republicans-a
proposition he most emphatically denied.

GROSSLY EXAGGERATED.
The Report of the DISCRETION of n
Italian COrpOraPs Guard

VIENNA. March 13.-An investigation in
to the report circulated by news agency
In the United States that 1.-The entire Ital-
ian garrison at Verona has deserted, with
It's arms and baggage, and crossed the
Austrian border into Tyrol," discloses the
following facts:
The Neue Freie Presse this morning an
ncunced that the guard on duty at Fort
Ceraino. consisting of about eight men, led
by corporal, Zamberlin, recently deserted
through fear of being ordered to Abyssinia
This was previous to the postponement of
the departure OF the Italian reinforcement. 3
for Africa.
AS Verona has population of about 10
ooo inhabitants, is strongly fortified, stands
near one of the gorges of the Tyrol and has
accommodation for garrison of 10000
men. 1t will be seen that a more inexcus-
ably sensational and misleading report
