in secret, as it is feared that revela-
tions may be made which will not tend
to strengthen the case of Italy before
the world. But, the general public de-
mands publicity in the matter and II
is believed that the war Office author
tiles will have to bow to the popular
will.
Every fresh advice from Africa only
tends to confirm the most alarming re-
ports as to the extent Of the disaster
at Adowa, and although the official fig
ures have not yet been made public, 1t
is admitted that over 10000 were kill
ed, wounded or made prisoners. 1t is
believed that the loss of the Abyssin-
ians was almost as great. The Abys-
sinians captured almost all the Italian
artillery, ammunition and supplies.
General Baratieri, however, repeats
that the disaster though unavoidable,
under the circumstances, was not due
to any desire to strike a big blow be-
fore the arrival from Italy of his sue
cessor, General Baldissera. He claims
that the plan Of battle was carefully
mapped out between himself and his
generals, that all the latter approved
it, and that it would have succeeded
had it not been for the fact that the
native troops under the Italian flag be-
came panic stricken and so brought
about the complet defeat of the Italian
forces.
Disinterested judges still hold that
the real cause for the defeat of the
Italians is to be found in the almost
unceasing clamor of certain news
papers OF this city and other parts Of
Italy at the alleged inaction Of General
Baratieri These apparently unjust
comments upon his conduct of the cam
paign seem to have goaded him to push
forward when
GOOD GENERALSHIP
would have avoided such step until
the plans for the advance upon Tigre
were completed, which is not believed
to have been the case. as over $1,000
reinforcements were on their way to
General Baratieri when the news of
his utter defeat was flashed from Mas
sowah.
Politics, it also appears, may have
entered somewhat into the situation,
for Baratieri was a recently elected
deputy, elected as a mark of public ap-
probation of his previous victories in
Africa, and he was known to have
formed political ambitions, possibly
aiming at the war portfolio, when he
met the great check which has wiped
him out of political and military life
forever.
IF he had only waited for his rein
forcements." say his friends, and there
seems to be the key to the whole
trouble. The general did not wait for
his reinforcements and the real cause
of his failure to do so may be found
in his possible political future, which
was threatened by the taunts of certain
newspapers at his alleged inactivity
when, as everybody now sees clearly,
he should have remained inactive for
quite a time longer.
But, the new troops also meant the
coming of a new commander, and al
though Baratieri denies it,this may have
been another feature of the case and
another indirect cause of the great dis
aster.

Yesterday afternoon at the home of

Last evening the first production OF

some startling features in it, intermin-
gled with humorous scenes. 1t will

Frankfort, KY, March 1S.-The State
House was full of ominous rumors to-
day. Party leaders hurried to and
from secret conferences. 1t was not
denied that Mr.. Boyle and his friends
determined to ignore the expul-
sion of Senators James and Walton by
the Senate on Wednesday and at the
proper time these Senators were to rise
in their seats, be recognized by the
chair and cast their votes for Boyle.
whether the clerk of the Senate. who is
chief clerk of the joint assembly, re-
corded their votes or not.
Mr.. Boyle received another telegram
from Senator John Sherman to-day, in
which he gave it as his opinion that
60 votes constituted a legal quorum
since the death OF Senator Weissinger.
and with Dunlap and the two expelled
members, would elect and, in his opin-
ion. the Senate of the United States
would so decide. The ruling of Lieut..
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.
At 11:30 a. m. Sheriff Armstrong re-
ceived instructions from Governor
Bradley TO clear the Senate cloak room
in which were Senator Blackburn and
his friends, including Jack Chinn and
others. AS soon as the Senate major
ity heard of this move of the Governor
the leaders of Senator Blackburn grew
hot and at once drew up a resolution
to rebuke the Governor. 1t caused the
widest confusion.
Senator BronstOn said he would de-
nounce the action of the Governor il
it were with the last drop of his blood,
and he was ready as a Kentuckian and
a man. When the joint assembly met
it was developed that the Republicans
had not succeeded in getting out all
their members.
The ballot resulted: Blackburn so,
Carlisle 13. Buckner 1.
The Republicans again refused to
vote and there was no quorum. When
Populist Poor's name was called he
refused to vote.
The chair announced that there had
been no election. The assembly then
adjourned.
Later Governor Bradley denied hav-
ing given the Sheriff any such orders
as stated and Senator Bronston begged
the Governors pardon.
Wood Dunlap refused to be sworn in
to-day though earnestly solicited by
Republicans. 1t is believed by Repub-
licans that with the help of Dunlap,
Boyle could be elected Senator. His
refusal to qualify provokes and mys-
titles them.

Sheriff David Douglass went ont yes
terday to search for a highway roB.
Der, Not returning. and his, horse
and buggy being found tied up a half
mile from town, this morning e a
seafching party 2 went out. ~ Tie
Sheriff and robber we're both found
dead about a mile from town and only
few feet from each other.a Five
chambers were empty in the Sheriff's
revolver, and he was shot through the
heart,in the right eye and through
the hand. The highwayman was also
shot three times, through the heart
and in the abdomen and the hip. The
robber had rifle, but it did not ap-
pear to haveibeen used. - a.
tbs thought that Douglass was
killed by a pal of the dead robber.
There is great excitement over the
affair. Several parties identified the
dead highWayman as the man who
held up Policeman Gibson and. Chas.
Shabby of San Francisco near here
about two weeks ago and who is sus-
pected aus the party who had commit
ed other roberies in this section Of
late. r&s sg ..,.s.,... i.
The discovery this morning that
Sheriff Douglass had killed the much
sought highwayman and had been
killed IN turn caused intcnse excite
ment. The bloody work took place
some time yesterday afternoon or last
evening, but was not discovered until
this morning. There have been a
number of, bold highway robberies
lately, all evidently the work OF the
same man. He worked without assis-
tants, but his capture seemed impos-
sible, although the Sheriff and his
deputies made every effort to catch
the thief. Finally Sheriff Douglass
determined yesterday to attempt the
capture Of the highwayman alone.
The Sheriff started yesterday
morning with horse and buggy, ac-
companied only by his dog. Nothing
was heard from the Sheriff during
the day, but when no word was heard
from him after nightfall, his friends
grew uneasy especially as the dog
came back alone late in the evening :.
At daybreak, to-day a large party Of
deputies and friends started Ii
search of the Sheriff, tracing linn to
the Wells ranch, two miles from
town. The horse and buggy had been
found nesrsWells tied to tree, last
night; The horse had evidently
