WANT JOE BLACKBURN TO QUIT.
Kentucky Democrats Tired of the
Division In Their Party.

LOUISVILLE. Feb. 27.-A special to the
Post from Frankfort says: resolution has
been prepared by the gold standard demo-
Gratis who have been supporting Senator j. G.
s. Blackburn for reelection to the United
States senate asking his withdrawal. A eau
Gus will be held on Monday and some other
candidate selected. The gold men have as
surance from Judge Petrie and from two
other republicans that they will join the
democrats at any time In an effort to elect
a gold standard democrat and they call on
Senator Blackburn's personal followers TO
unite with them in an effort to induce Sena-
tor Blackburn TO withdraw from the race.
If Senator Blackburn refuses to withdraw a
pronunciamento will be issued next week and
twenty-five democrats will vote for some
other democrat.
Senator sayler, the leader says: 81 think
the time has come to try some one else. II
Senator Blackburn refuses to withdraw
knowing that he cannot be elected, then
will not support him any longer"
The thirty-frst ballot for United States
senator resulted as follows: Blackburn, 62;
Hunter, 81; Carlisle, 5; Holt, 8; Colson, 1;
Bate l.
CINCINNATI, Feb. PA special to the
Commercial Gazette from Frankfort. Ky,
says: While there was no material change
in the three ballots for senator today it is
believed that a crisis will be reached tomor-
row. The Kaufman and Tompkins contests
are the special order for 10 o'clock in the
house. The Blackburn men declare that a
republican senator will be unseated for every
democrat voted out of the house and that
if the unseatng business begins there will
be no more joint ballots at this session.
There has been some rough language about
the successors to unseated men not being
allowed to enter the hall alive, but such
violence is generally discredited, although
the feeling between the Blackburn men and
the republicans is most intensely bitter.
There will be minority and majority reports
on the contest cases tomorrow. These re-
ports are on party lines.
The Sound money" democrats have re-
quested caucus for propositions for Black
burns withdrawal. The senator says he will
comply If petition for his withdrawal is
signed by thirty-fve democrats, or a ma
jority 1t is conceded that such petition
never can be secured from the democratic
membership of the present legislature.
FRANKFORT. KY, Feb. 27.-Both the
Blackburn and Hunter forces We're in caucu:
tonight. The Blackburn men adjourned i'm
mediately after meeting. Populist Poor ap
peared before the Hunter caucus and made
a proposition to the republicans to unite OF
Jerry Porter, promising the two populis
votes for Porter. This offer twas emphatic
ally refused. ..tt

NO PROPOSAL TO EvAcuATE EGYPT
English Ministry Denies Some RumOrs
Recently Circulated.


Recently Circulated.
LONDON. Feb 27.-Replying to Sir E.
Ashmead- Bartlett conservative member for
the EcclesalI division of Sheffield, Mr.. Cur
zon. under secretary for the foreign office,
said in the House of Commons today that
the government had nct received, recently,
a proposal from any government involving
the evacuation of Egypt.
In reply to a question on the subject Mr..
Curzon declared that Russia had assured
Great Britain that there was no truth in
the report that by the terms of treaty con-
cluded between Russia and China, the former
had secured railway rights and commercial
advantages to which the most favored ma
tions" clause did not apply.
Mr. A. J. Bafour, first lord of the treas
ury, replying to a question, said 1t was not
proposed to ask the approval OF the signors
of the Berlin treaty for Russian occupa-
tion cf Anatolia.
The House of Commons tonight by vote
of 25S to 124, adopted Mr.. A. j. Balfour's new
rules of procedure which relate particularly
to the debate on supply. They provide for
one sitting week to be permanently devoted
to effective supply in preference to other
subjects and that after the ordinary financial
business Of the year has been under discus
sion for a certain number OF days a form OF
automatic closure shall be brought into opera
ton.
The Times, in an editorial, contends that
the official denials (referring to statement
made by Mr.. George n. Curzon in the
House of Commons yesterday failed to dis
prove its Constantinople correspondent
statement that the sultan had invited Lord
Salisbury to discuss the Egyptian question.
The Times is inclined to believe, however.
that the idea of the invitation must be at
tributed to the sultan alone and had nothing
to do with the Turkish government.

LONDON, Feb. 27-Timothy Healy, in ad-

Dublin today, accused John Dillon of get

the feeling OF the country. His position.
however Mr. Healy continued, entitled him
IL forbearance as long as he kept within the
broad lines of policy. Mr.. Healy said he
would rather see Ireland governed as a
crown colony than as II is now governed.
IF when the liberals are returned to
power he added nothing is done for home
rule, the Irish members should provoke our
expulsion from Parliament. After few
years OF governing Ireland without repre-
sentatNes at Westminster fear would prob
ably induce England to grant some kind of

World Cablegram-Special Telegram)-Ge
eral Weyler informed me today that he has
one of his most trusted officers engaged In
investigating the reported atrocities near
Punta Brava. He expects an immediate re-
port, and If the case proves to be as Is al
legged, he will infict unconditional punish
ment on the perpetrators.
General Weyler seems entirely sincere In
his Intention to prevent any such outrages
as are reported to have happened about
Puna Bravo. Every subordinate who violates
specific orders not to Ill treat prisoners Will
be punished. The governor general feels
badly over attacks on him by some American
newspapers. Most Of the charges against
him are untrue.
This correspondent has investigated and
reliable information from foreign residents
who were in the district in which he operated
in the former rebellion goes TO prove this as
serton.
The arrest Of an American correspondent
recently was purely a case OF mistaken
identity. Other parties visited Punta Bravo
as this correspondent knows and they were
mistaken for the person arrested and his
interpreter
General Weyler is disposed to be very fair
and is certainly man of extraordinar!
