FRANKFoRr, KY, March 12-One
thing that seemed to be settled by to-
days doings in the joint assembly is that
Kentucky will have but one representa-
tive in the United States senate from
March 4. 1897, when Senator Blackburn's
term expires. until at least January,
1898, when the next Legislature can meet
and till the vacancy
There was no lack of apprehension of
renewed danger of an outbreak. Mayor
Julian, with force OF police, cleared the
rotunda of mere curiosity hunters, but
in the cloak rooms and elsewhere, were
enough men to have done much harm, if
the occasion had arisen. Perhaps the
apprehension of difficulty tended to pro-
duce unusual self restraint, and so the
scene ended without other turmoil than
that of debate. The newly installed re-
publican in the house did not qualify be-
fore the joint assembly met, and SO was
not a factor. The republicans adopted
tactics of breaking the quorum and this
brought from Lieut.-Gov. Worthing
ton, a ruling that 70 members constitute
quorum necessary to elect senator
So long as this ruling stands, no election
can be had, except by breaking over
party lines.

Eminent Advisers,

CINCINNATI, March PA special to
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette from
Frankfort, Kentucky. says: st. John
Boyle will be elected United States sena-
tor. This will certainly be done before
the Legislature adjourns, and it may be
done tomorrow Senators Sherman and
Hoar and Speaker Reed have wired
Boyle that since the death Of Weissinger,
60 members constitute quorum. The
joint assembly may pass on the right of
the expelled senators, James and Wal
ton, to have their votes recorded, yet it
has no right to do so. The United
States senate is the only tribunal vested
with that power. Dunlap has not de-
cided whether he will consent to be
sworn in, but it is believed ne will He

& WAsHINGToN, March II. - Senators
Sherman and Hill we're the conspicuous
figures in the Cuban debate in the SEN
ate today, the New York senator forcibly
urging the mercensry character OF the
pending resolutions, while Sherman up
held them with another graphic arraign-
ment Of Spain and Gen. Weyler. 1t was
the fourth day of the debate on the con-
ference report, and yet there was no evil
dence of near approach to final vote,
although Sherman announced that he
would press for vote at the earliest mo-
ment. The galleries continue to be
crowded and today showed no diminu-
tion Of public interest. Hills opposition
to the resolutions was confined to that
feature which expressed the purpose of
the United States to intervene to protect
legitimate interests of the United States.
Thie, the senator declared, was an igno
Bile and contemplate attitude. 1t was
placing the cause of human liberty and
patriotism on very low plane, and he
urged that the resolutions be defeated in
order that they might be amended and
the mercenary features eliminated.

LANSING, March IA new political
party known as the "free silver demo-
cratic party of Michigan" was organized
here this afternoon at the conference of

fore the democratic state delegation con-
vention at Detroit next month, and if
recognition and satisfaction is refused
this committee immediate steps will be
taken to obtain representation through
caucuses, which will send delegates TO

The delegates to the state immigration
convention from Cascade county re-
turned yesterday, and all express sur
prise at the enthusiasm manifested and
a belief that the work inaugurated will
result in much good.
F. Geo. Heldt, one of the delegates, in
conversation with a TRIBUNE reporter,
explained the reason that Col. w. F.
Sanders of Helena introduced a resolu-
tion which opposed the freq coinage of
silver. At the first meeting of the COM
mittee on resolutions, it was decided, by
vote of IL to IL, that resolution
concerning the money question should
not be submitted to the convention with
such objects as the present one. At a
subsequent meeting, two of the com
mittoemen who were opposed to the ey-
preston of any opinion on the subject
by the convention we're absent and the
committee by vote of IL to 9, decided
to inc orporate in its report a resolution
in favor of free coinage

Interstate Canal.

WASHINGTON, March PA bill to in
corporate the Maritime canal of North
America, to connect the Hudson river
and the Great Lakes, was introdu ced in
the senate today by Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota, and in the
house by Representative Cooper of Wis
consin. The capital stock will be $lO,-
600, 900, and bond issue of 100000 is
provided for. The channels of the canal
are to be 20 feet deep, to permit two of
the largest vessels drawing 20 feet to
pass, and the locks are to admit vessels
$50 feet long and 65 wide. The plans are
to be approved by a board of i've engi-
neers, appointed by the secretary of
war. The canal is to be under the con-
troll of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and the government is by the
bill authorized to take posses ssion of the
property on one weeks notice by paying
the value of the property.
Speaking of the bill, Senator Hans
brough said although the persons
seeking this charter have broad and lib
eral charter for ship canal from Lake
Erie to the Atlantic through Canada,
granted by the Dominion governme Mt,
with the privilege of using and enlarging
the Welland canal, which is very i'm
portant, as such route is immensely
cheaper than one on American soil to
the seaboard, yet Secretary Flower has
drafted q charter for an exclusively
American route and has induced the
company, as am informed, to dc moth,
ing in Canada until it should be demon
strated whether similar charter could
be secured from the congress of the
United States"
