CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE Com
merciaI Gazette special from Frank
fort. KY, says:
The legislature adjourned tonight.

ing. The legislature failed to accom-
plish the two important acts it had be-

senator and the enactment Of legisla-,.

tatiOn.
Governor Bradley has refused to or
der an extra session, and the state il
in a bad way. The senate special COM
mittee backed down today and offered
a report that was so mild. when the
threats to unseat the governor are con-
sidered. that even
THE DEMOCRATS LAUGHED.
In the house a resolution was passed
denouncing the lawlessness and en-
dorsing Governor Bradley to the end.
The troops had dress parade tonight
and leave tomorrow.
Lieutenant Governor WOrthington to-
day issued the call for a special cleo
ton April IL TO fill the vacancy in the
senate caused by the death of Senator
Weissfnger. Senator Walton and Sen
ator James will resign tomorrow and
the governor will order a. special cleo
ton. refusing to recognize their eX-
puISion by the senate. The senate
committee appointed to investigate
Governor Bradley and impeach him for
usurpation of office, and impose both
fine and imprisonment, reported to the
senate this evening. The report finds
that the militia was not placed under
the control of any civil officer; that
members We're prevented from entering
the house; that soldiers entered tde
senate chamber while the . nate was
in session; that no application was
made to the jailor or county judge for
assistance; that the governor made no
inquiry Of either house as to the sit
uation and that the object in cafling
out the militia was to cast in the joint
assembly two votes and elect a senator.
The committee. in closing its report
says: Your committee, therefore, find
and declare and recommend that. BY
adoption of this report the senate OF
Kentucky declare that said use of the
military power of the commonwealth
by the governor
WAS UNNECESSARY
for the preservation of the peace or
for any other lawful purpose; that said
military force was not used by the
governor for the purpose of preserving
the peace. but was used solely for
partisan political purposes; that said
action of the governor was wholly
without warrant of law, and was and
is now a fragrant subversion of the
civil authority by the military power
of the commonwealth"
By vote Of 10 to IA the report was
adopted.
Senator Jones denounced the state
ments in the report as absolutely false
in point of fact and endorsed the gov
ernor. ieutenant-GOvernOr Worth
ington did likewise and denounced the
report.

to alarms rung in from the west side,
placing the responsibility of attending
in the first instance. to all such alarms
on the assistant chief. who was TO de-
termine the necessity for calling for as
siestance; that for this reason, it was
tacitly understood that the chief need
not in all instances attend unless the
assistant chief called. We do not ad-
nit the reasona bleness nor force OF
this rule for a moment, if there be such
e rule. We do not understand that
such a rule was ever adopted, or any
such custom sanctioned by the board.
If it were so. we should deem it our
duty to at once repeal it. We can af-
firm it to be the duty of the chief to
attend 10 all alarms, but in this in
stance we feel it our duty to consider
the circumstances of the situation, and
are not inclined to hold the chief alone
responsible for the condition for which
possibly others are as much 10 blame.
We therefore do not sustain this spec

NEW YORK, March IA dispatch
to the World from London says;
The ministerial statement and dis
cussion in the house of commons fully
establishes that the British advance
upon the Soudan denotes the initiation
of a policy by the British government
which may be fraught with far reach
ing and possibly disastrous conse-
quences.
Arthur Balfour, speaking for the
cabinet, practically admitted that Don
COLA would probably not be the desti-
nation but only the halting place of the
o-Egyptian forces. His illusions
TO the desirability of bringing the
blessings of British rule to the Soudan
were interpreted as indicating that the
British government is bent upon a
war, not of defense, but of conquest of
that whole section.
Sir Charles Dixie made a profound
impression by his able and weighty ex-
position of the dangers and complica-
tons, not only in Central Africa, but
in Europe which would be entailed by
such a policy. The reception of his
speech shows that he has now largely
regained the influence he lost when
driven from public life ten years ago.
The Liberals will oppose the Soudan
campaign. and they expect that ii will
make the government unpopular in the
country as its perils are only too ap-
parent. while the advantages. even if
successful, are nebulous in the highest
degree
Unless popular outcry stays Sails
bury's hand, it may we'll happen that
the long expected casus belli which is
to bring about a general European
cataclysm may be provided. not by
trouble at Constantinople or in the
Balkans, in the far east but in the
clashing of French, Perman and Brit
ish interests in Africa and in the race
begun in good earnest for the possess
sion of the unappropriated portion of
the valley of the Upper Nile.

HER IMPREGNABLE TOMB.
Mrs. JOhnson's PrecautiOn Against
Possible Theft of Her Body.

Norwich. Conn, Dec. S.-The most clab-
crate grave, perhaps, in New England, has
lust been completed in Yantic Cemetery, in
this city. for Mrs. Mary T. Johnson, re-
Gently of Norwich, but now OF Chicago
Mrs. johnson is rich. She is haunted by
the fear that, after death, her tomb may be
invaded and despoiled by body-snatchers.
Hence she decided to So prepare and fortify
her tomb that any. attempt of the kind
would be foiled- Some years ago she pur-
chased the most spacious and precious lotin
the cemetery here and constructed grave
that was a masterpiece seemingly impreg-
nable, of sepulchral handiwork.
1t seemed as ifit were capable of resisting
n proloneeda from the IN Ost determine I'd
vault robbers. Not long ago. however. tor
meDted by recurrence of her NOR bid dread
of ghouls, Mrs johnson vigorously applied
herself to the task of reConstrueting the
grave. Fearing lest her husband, q rich
ranch ow ner and manufacturer, with whom
her relations are neither cordial nor conf
dental, might interfere with her purpose,
she carried on the work stealthily.
One morning little army of expert arti
sans and large derrick movedinto Yantic
Cemetery, encamped on and about Mrs.
Mary T. Jobnson's burial lot, and toiled un-
interruptedIy for several weeks, when their
labor of reconstruction was completed.
A wonderful graveit nowis. Its sides, OF
the finest pressed and cemented bricks, and
thick and massive as the foundation walls
of castle or fort, rest on single slab Of
polished granite that weighs considerably
more than a ton, while a similar stone, beau
tifully finished and weighing 2,7OO pounds,
forms the lid
Mrs johnson has expressed herself as en-
tirely satisfied with the vault believing now
that when her body shall be laid between
its two mighty monolithsi it viii be forever
secure from Invasion by the dreaded grave
robber. When the time comes for the COM
mitment of her body to the cemetery tomb
a derrick must be used to remove and re-
place the ponderous lid.
Besides the curiously contrivcd grave,
Mrs. johnson has had an equally remarka-
bic mortuary memorial erected at her lot,
a magnificent polished granite monument,
costing $4,000, bearing ornately carved
cffigies of the allcgorical figures, Faith.
Hope aad Charity.
One Of her most pronounced characteris-
tics was an eXtravagant fondness for dia-
monds. She was aflame with ma gnificent
gems at all times, rarely appearing in pub
lie with less than $50 900 to $40, 900 worth
Of the jewels on her person. In her palatial
home on Broadway she affixed jewels to
various pieces OF furniture, and printed her
name, MARY johnson, in diamonds on the
dial-plate Of her grandfathcr's clock. !
