The LEGISLATURE EXPIRES BY LIMITA-
TON WITHOUT AN ELECTION.
AND THERE STOOD 10 BLACKBURN

will be called, one of the most sipn;.
meant being that the Lieutenant Gov
ernor to-day called for a special cleo
ton ON April IL to fill the seat in the
senate made vacant by the death of
Senator Rozel Welssinger, of Louis
vile. Within the same hour Drs A
ID. James and G. j. Walton. who were
removed from the Senate by the Dem
ocrats, filed with the Lieutenant Gov
ernor their designations, thus showing
their purpose to ignore the action Of
the Senate.
But it is believed that the action
was taken especially for the purpose
OF clearing all doubt by thus making
the opportunity for special elections
before an extra session is called.
Special elections will also be ordered
to fill the vacancies which will be
caused by the designations of Senator
Landes, who is to be appointed to the
seat in the Court of Appeals occupied
by the late Judge John r. Grace, and
OF Senator Nell, who will be warden
of the Frankfort penitentiary.
CuuSo AuuIeW thompson ana sew
eral other Representatives will resign
to accept offices, and if an extra ses-
sion is held there will be six or seven
special elections in the State. Friends
OF the Revenue and Deficit Bills as
sert that warrants on the State Treas
ury will not be worth seventy.fiye
cents on the dollar, but others express
the opinion that the State will be able
to get along very we'll. They do NOT
give any figures, and, lest the ques-
ton might be embarrassing, none
were asked for.
The members of the Joint Assembly
to-day seemed more disposed to amuse
themselves than to elect a United
States Senator,
After sixty days of strife and storm
at an expense of nearly 100000 to the
taxpayers, and at All infinitely greater
cost in dishonor to the State, the first
under the first Republi-
can Governor in Kentucky adjourned
with so sorry a record that it was
even ashamed of itself.

The Vernal Equinox.

This is according to the almanacs
the first day of the spring season
The season changed at 1923 o'clock
last night and the equinoctial storms
of the last few days have brought us
an assortment of severe and disa-
greeable weather. Heavy rains, high
winds and storms of snow and sleet
have served to mark the period and
disgust everybody with the weather.
Let us hope for better treatment by
the weather clerk next week.

Mr.. Landes is one of the leading
Republicans of his district, and the
appointment will please great many
of his friends in his party. He has
been always active in politics, and
his appointment necessitates an cleo
tion in the Sixth Senatorial district. "
The above dispatch appeared
in the papers yesterday. 1t has been
known for some time that Judge
Landes was slated for the place. The
appointment does not have to be con-
frmed, az the Senate is not in session,
and Judge Landes will qualify at
once. The appointee is one of the
leading Republican lawyers of this
city and is perhaps as good material
as is to be found in his party in the
district. He has had long and sue
cessful practice, but is without expe-
rience on the bench except in the
Office of police Judge when young
man. The title acquired then has
stuck to him through life.
Judge Landes made the race for
Circuit Judge in 1892 against Judge
Grace, but was defeated by about
1000 majority. He was elected State
Senator in 1893 in the Christian Hop
kins district. Unless there is an ex-
ira session, his active service as Sena-
tor is over, as a new Senator
will be elected in 1897 for the 1898
session.
Judge Landes will serve as Appel
late Judge until his successor is
elected in November. The salary is
5000 year.

EVEN The
COURT OF APPEALS
REFUSES TO SIT.
Bradley Censured by the Senate,

Frankfort, KY, March I'm
election. That's the last news, as i
was The Times first news of the ses
sion.
Amid the din of voices inside, trum
pets, bugles, and drums outside, tn,
CLINT and glare of musketry below
stairs, the Senators and a halt-hu
dred newspaper men filed through
and into the House at II noon.
The Hobbies of the latter were filled
with ladies and State officials. While
the crowd was gathering a good-hu,
mored bevy had to be raped to order
for singing the doxology too loud.
The preliminary roll-call found no
Dunlap present and no Democrat an
swering to his name. There was no
suppressed excitement during this
roll call; the most of the members
seemed to be in playful mood.
The Chair announced that sixty-six
answered to their names, but that a
ballot would be taken to see if sew
enty, quorum, was present and
voting.
The ballot began. Not man, Re-
publican or Democrat, answered to
his name during the call Of the Sen
ate roll. Mr.. Burnam moved for a
call of the Senate absentees, but was
not accorded a second. There was
no vote in the House till Burnam's
name was called, and he voted for
Boyle. Garrett was the next and
second one to answer and to vote for
Boyle. No other persons answered,
and the vote resulted Boyle2.
Mr.. Howard moved that the SEES.
sion dissolve. Mr.. Cy Brown moved
that it be dissolved everlastingly,
eternally and forever. His motion
carried with a wild yell. A member
started up the doxology, in which the
lobbies joined.
Senator Blackburn over in the Sen
ate cloakroom, still surrounded by
friends, but not as large crowd as
before the militia came, sat smiling at
the satisfaction at having accom-
plished all he really hoped for from
the beginning. He will leave for
Washington at once, after a three
vigil.
st. John Boyle did not look happy.
He had suffered another big disap.
pointment.
Senator Blackburn will speak at
the Opera house to night. His friends
say that it will be the opening of the |
senatorial campaign of 1897.
Of course people are talking about |
Dunlar's failure to show up and |
qualify, as was expected of him. He
did get to Frankfort, and he was seen
by several Republican leaders, but
he staid away from the House.
There are several good reasons
for believing that an extra session

A woman named Collins was ar

able to locate her until the day be-

tanned such possession thereof.
Said military force is under the
command of the Adjutant General
and his subordinates and the Gov
ernor No effort was made to place
said military force under the control
of any civil officer. Acting under the

determined, who shall be admitted to

 Alter they had mad. camp after dark, two men csmped near them on horseback. Not being able to tell who they were they were allowed to pass. Fearing they might be attacked in the night e watch was kept. OGe man sa, awake while the others slept. About o'clock Sunday morning Gal. Oway as on his second watch. A noise was heard which awakened Birchfeld, who reused up, and in doing SO alarmed shannon and Mc- Gliuchy. An o'lec. was seen some fifty feet away, coming toward the camp. The men grabbed their guns. Shapnon's gun was caught in his sad dle and he could not get it.
 McGlinchy hailed the object twice, calling "sho is thereF" and received no answer. Shannon ordered bis men to shoot. Both McGlinchy and Birch ieid fired and the object dropped.
