nice and very defferential. The press, he
went on, was now made the vehicle for
presenting to the public the views of the
great men of the earth 0lr. Gladstone
wrote communications for newspapers aad
magazines on both sides OF the Atlantic,
touching great political questions, and
everybody was glad to read them
Mr.. Lodge stated by what motive he

Washington. who, he said, was not

KENTUCKY's DEADLOCK.
Dunlap Withdraws His Contest for
Kaufman's Seat

Frankfort, KY, March 10.-The body Of
the late Senator Weissinger was shipped
to Louisville at noon to-day, senators and
representatives escorting 1t to the depot.
1t was said that political attacks grow
ing out Of his position in the senatorial
race, had much to do with Senator Weis-
singers death.
The joint session convened at noon with
agreement that only three members
Messrs. Adams, Baird and Poore, should
vote for senator on the forty-sixth bal
lot. These voted for Messrs. Boyle,
Blackburn and Pettitt. All the other
members sat in silence while their names
were called. The president announced
that no quorum had voted, and the ses-
sion adjourned until noon tomorrow.
In the Senate this morning Mr.. Goebel
proposed an amendment to the rules which
will be adopted tomorrow 1t oils the
toboggan already prepared for republican
senators who must go If democrats are
unseated in the House. 1t provides that
the clerk shall put all motions on appeals
from the chair and otherwise provided for
intermediate consideration regarding the
right of a senator to his seat
The republicans were much surprised
this afternoon by the announcement that
w. G.. Dunlap had withdrawn from the
contest for Mr. Kauffmans seat. The let
ter of withdrawal is final on the contest
case 1t will also have an important bear
ing on the senatorial situation. If Mr.
Kaufman had been turned out the repub-
licans could have elected a senator with
the vote Of one populist Now they will
have to have the votes of both of them
1t makes the election Of a senator impos-
sible, because Mr.. Darlington will continue
to vote for Blackburn.
At midnight everything indicates that
there is trouble ahead tomorrow in the
joint assembly. ST. John Boyle, the re-
publican nominee for senator, and his
managers were in caucus with Speaker
Blanford and large number Of republi-
can members of the House until nearly
midnight, and it was decided TO push the
contest against Representative Kaufman
dem, as though Mr.. Dunlap had filed no
letter Of withdrawal The republicans
claim that they will vote as a unit, and
having a majority in the House will un-

STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.
The Bill Not Apt to Pass the Lower
House of Congress-

Washington, March 1O.-The sub-com-
mittee of the Senate committee on terri
tories this morning, by the unanimous
votes of Senators Davis, White and Shoup.
ordered a favorable report on the bill TO
admit New Mexico to statehood. A num-
ber of minor amendments were made TO
the pending measure among others one to
make the census of 1890 the basis of repre-
sentation in the constitutional convention
1t is believed that the full committee will
order a favorable report on the bill
There will, undoubtedly, be fight against
the admission of this territory when the
bill comes into the Senate. First, because
the territory. is not, as some senator's
claim, sufficiently settled to Justify its
people in assuming statehood, and for the
further reason that the Spanish language
is the tongue commonly spoken within its
borders; and, second, because, by the ad-
mission of this territory, the strength Of
the free silver men in the Senate will be
increased two votes by the admission of
the senators from that territory when it
becomes a state.
The bill may, perhaps. pass the Senate,
but the indications are that it cannot
pass the House of Representatives.

BOGUS INSURANCE. CHARTERS.
Fraudulent Companies scoop S5,OOO,-

Fraudulent Companies scoop $5,OO0,-
900 In Premiums in a Year.
New York, March 10-Detectives of the
district attorneys Office this afternoon
arrested Graham McAdam, who was in
dlcted by the grand jury several days ago
for larceny in connection with the Lloyds
Fire Insurance Company. MeAdam is
charged with issuing bogus charters for
Lloyds fire insurance companies and SELL
ing them. Indictments were also found
against two other men, but they have not
been arrested II Is said that the prem
iums of the fraudulent companies in one
year amounted to 5000, ,O00 and that there
were l20 bogus companies organized. The
attorneys declare that McAdam is inter-
ested in fifteen or twenty of them. The
specific charges which have been incor-
porated into the two indictments were
both charges of grand larceny in the sec
ond degree in selling bogus Lloyd's CHAR
ters.
The methods adopted by the conspirators
in issuing the bogus charters was to an
tedate them so that it would appear that
they We're issued prior to 1892. This would
relieve the bogus company from paying
the deposit Of $4,000 as required into the
state department Of insurance and of the
necessity of having S25O,000 of subscribed
stock. Late this afternoon the prisoner
was taken before Judge Newburger In
general sessions cham bers, and commit
ted to the tOmbS.

BOOTH READY FOR BATTLE.
The General Not Apt to Yield TO the
BalIingtOn Booths.

London, March Io.-Gen. Booth, COM
mander of the Salvation Army, who has
just arrived in London from India, said
to-day in reply to a request for an inter-
view, that he was busily considering the
policy of the army in America, but had
not as yet been able to formulate state
ment on the subject. The general handed
the reporter an advance copy of the War
Crys Which contained the announcement
mat Immediately upon his arrival in Lon
uOil zen. Booth had addressed a manifesto
70 the officers and soldiers Of the Salvation
army in America, declaring that although
ms heart was torn and he was sorely
WOUNDED, ne was, nevertheless, deter
mined TO conduct the government of the
army irrespective of persons. II he had
peen willing to make an exception In favor
OF one person in order to retain the loyalty
of that person, he would deservedly have
lost forever the confidence and respect of
all honest-hearted men and the approval
OF his own conscience.
The article also asks the PRAYERS of the
army Tor Eva Booth, the new commander
OF the army in America, and her COM
rades in the United States.
Inc Daily News will tomorrow publish
an interview with Gen. Booth, in which
the commander of the Salvation Army
sald that the cause of the difficulty in
america was perfectly simple. Changing
was one of the first principles of the
army. 1t had been known for quite two
years that a change in the command in
tne United States was imminent. When
his son, Ballington Booth, objected to a
change being made, he had weighed his
objections and found that he was unable
70 comply with his wishes. He declared
that he was painfully affected by the
trouble and that it was heart-breaking
business for him. He had done all that
was possible to avert the calamity and
had not stopped his efforts now He
sadly added that Il was very bitter
blow; he could not understand that some
people were unable TO comprehend the
matter and seemed to think that there
was something behind It. on the contrary,
the question was perfectly clear, and evs
erything was as he had stated.

CHANDLER REPOHTS IN FAVOR OF
AN INVESTIGATION.

a Full Investigation of the AIabama
State and Legislative Elections OF
1894 Recommended by the Major
ity of the Committee on Privileges
and EIections-A Wholesale Con-
spiracy I'm Advance OF the EIectIon
to Defruud Alleged.
Washington. March 10-Senator Chand-
Ter. from the committee on privileges and
elections. to-day submitted 10 the Senate
the majority report recommending the
adoption of Senator Aliens resolution pro-
viding for an investigation OF the Alabama
state and legislative elections OF 1894. Ref
erence is also made in the report to the
previous election OF Thomas Jones, regu-
lar democrat. as governor (Reuben Kolb
being the opposing candidate). as due to
the Wholesale falsifcation Of returns by
dishonest election officials in pursuance
of a great conspiracy deliberately organ
lied long before the election, for the pur-
pose of changing the political complexion
OF tho state in case It should appear that
Kolb and his supporters should have car
ried the state.
Referring to the election of 1891. when
kolb was again a candidate against w.
c. Oates, the report says that Kolb was
elected, as well as a majority of the leg
islative candidates on the same ticket, but
that they were not given the offices on
account OF the fact that an enormous ficti-
tious vote was returned. The report calls
attention to the fact that in fifteen coun-
ties the returns showed that 50.00c votes
we're polled. while in reality only 5000
were cast. Instead Of Oates being elected
by 2I5SI votes, the report declares that he
was defeated by about 1000 majority. The
kolb legislature. the report says, was
counted out I'm the same way and In both
elections the fraudulent votes came MAIN
ly from the black countless" that Kolb
and his ticket carried a majority of the
Whlte countes, and that the negroes
failing TO register false poll lists were
made and false returns were certified to
on behalf OF kolbs antagonist.
The case" the report says, 'is not
merely, one Of local frauds which hap
pened here and there over the state but
the case made Is that OF carefully plan-
ned and deliberately manufactured masses
or fraudulent returns, based upon no
votes Whatever, but made to apparently
defeat a state government that was actti-
ally chosen, and TO give apparent title to
ers."
The report concludes with detailed ae-
count Of the particulars concerning the
organization OF the Kolb legislature and
the election by IL Of w. s. Reese as
United States senator to hold the seat
now occupied by Senator John II. Morgan
The committee say the investigation
should be held and the facts made known
whether they are as has been charged
or are unfounded. II the charges are well
rounded, the report says, 1t may be the

Montgomery, Ala, March ia special
from Evergreen. Ala, says: Yesterday
afternoon an encounter took place be-
tween Govan Moorer and William Byrd,
which ended in the death of the former

between the two for some time. Yester-
day Moorer went to Bryd's room and com
pIained to the latter of an insult This

drew a knife and commenced cutting Byrd
Byrd retreated into the yard, and almost
around the house, when, in self defense,
he picked up a piece of scantling and
struck Moorer to the ground. The latter
rose and renewed the attack, when an
other blow from Byrd crushed his skull
causing death in a short time.
No arrests have been made, as the de-
ceased's friends acknowledge it was in
self defense. Both young men were
prominent at their homes.

FLAWS IN THE BLUE BOOK.
The British Case Believed to Rest on
"a Very FIimsy Foundation.

London. March 10.-The Chronicle will
tomorrow publish the first of a series
of articles by an expert critic in regard
to the Venezuelan blue book just issued
by the government. The writer insists
that all the bitterness and vehemence
of the Venezuelan claim centers in the
alleged British usurpation of the coast
between the Morocco and Orinoco rivers
1t is here, he says, that the British case
is weakest. The contention that the
Dutch possessed this territory prior to
the treaty of Munster is certainly not
proved satisfactorily by the blue book,
and he adduces reasons in support of
his contention. He unearths an inaccu-
racy in quotation from a Spanish record
of 1640, and seeks to show that the quo
tation as cited in the blue book is a gar
blsd and perverted summary of the origi-
nal. He adds that he fears that this is
