Surface Indications Quieter in
Frankfort.
Filed Through Picket Lines - The
Senate Adopts Strong Denuncia-
tory Resolutions of the Governor,
and Declares no Legislation Will
Be Enacted While the Militia are
in the observation-disclosures and
POpuIists Break u Quorum.

Frankfort, KY, March I6.-Today's
sensation in the senatorial contest
flashed in the pan. Bitter talk and a
fruitless BALLOT tells the story, and those
features have been present every day
since the fight began. The scenes, how
ever, had different setting, and to the
dramatis personae were added about
four hundred bluecoats from Louisville,
Lexington and Frankfort. The salutary
effect of this military display does not
appear on the surface, because the rea-
son for its presence was apprehension
and not the existence of violence. Three
companies of the state guard took up
their position on the statehouse grounds
this morning, and the Kentucky legisla-
tors filed through picket lines to their
meeting places in the capitol The
presence of this armed force was the
subject of numerous resolutions and
acrimonious debate in both houses
before and after the joint session.
Thesenate, by party vote, adopted reso-
lutions reciting the action of governor
Bradley in calling out the MALTA, which
was said to be without warrant of law,
necessity or Justification" and appoint
ing a committee, headed bP senator Goe-
bel, "to inquire into such a contemplate
breech Of privilege" and to report to
the senate for final action. This was
adopted as a substitute for a resolution
offered by senator Bronson, violently
denouncing Gov. Bradley and declaring
the purpose of the senate to suspend all
legislation while the military guard re-
NAMED in possession of the capitol.
At joint session one ballot for United
United States senator was taken to full
fill legal requirements, after the demo
Gratis and populist Poor had broken

call. Another ballot will be taken to-
morrow.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
Popular Election of Senators Has a
Majority in The senate.

Washington, March II. - Senator
Mitchell of Oregon is preparing his
report in favor of amendment to the
constitution providing for election of
United States senators by direct vote of
the people. At its meeting the COM
mittee on privileges and elections by a
vote of 4 to 5, ordered joint resolu-
tion looking to a change in this partieu-
lar to be reported to the senate. 1t is Mr..
Mltchelrs intention to press the resolu-
ton for CONSIDERATION.
''The house once passed a similar
resolution" said Senator Mitchell, and l
ceIieve is ready to pass another. There
is very strong feeling in the senate in
favor of the change, and Senator Pal
mer of Illinois and!others are anxious to
have the matter brought up. l am salts
fed we have in the senate majority in
its favor, but whether or not we have
the required two thirds is in doubt. We
may have enough votes to pass it, and if
we have I believe the proposed amend
ment will be ratified by three-fourths of
the States in the manner required by
the constitul ion"

THREE DRYDOcKs.
The Navy's Needs Impress the Naval
Committee strongly.

Washington, March I6.-Three new
drydocks, to be built at Algiers island,
Louisiana; Mare island, California, and
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, will be
provided for in the naval appropriation
bill, in connection with vote taken in
the house committee today. The com
mittee spent most of the session discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of building new
docks, the question being presented by
the motion made by Mr. Meyer, of Lou
isiana, for a drydock at Algiers, near
New Orleans. Chairman Boutelle
questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of making
appropriations for any docks. in view Of
the condition of the treasury, and other
republicans took the same view, although
the need of docks was conceded BY
everyone. When Mr.. Meyers project
was put to vote it carried, with seven
members supporting the item and five
opposing it. 1t had been amended, no v
ever, by the motion of Mr.. Hilborn, OF
California that the Mare island dock
item be added, and the motion of Mr..
Boutelle for the addition of the Ports.
mouth dock, it being the view of the
committee that all sections of the coun-
try be treated alike, if any docks were
to be built.
The cost of the Algiers dock was linn
tied to $4,000 and of the two others to
S52s,ooo each. The expenditure in the
fiscal year for which the bill provides is
to be 100000 on each dock.
