Frankfort, KY, March 1.-Since the with

candidates for senator. Every republican
of any Importance is spoken of as a pos

Hunters strength, and did not announce
themselves, but now that DR.. Hunter has
Withdrawn all of them seem TO think they
stand a better show. Every candidate has
his friends, who are working hard for
him. A good many of the members think
that Chief Justice Holt would be the
strongest man that the caucus could NOM
mate because they claim that Representa-
tive Call of Louisville would either cast
his vote for him, or be absent so that he
could not vote. Judge Holt has been ac-
lively engaged in interviewing the men,
bers since last night.
State Senator Stone has been shaking
the hands of the members.
The Hon. John f. Boyle of Louisville
arrived in the city to-day, and Immediately

only that of 1898, when the Hudson was
swollen to a hight of seventeen feet

rising all the time. promising to outdo
all previous records.
The whole southern portion of the city,
lying on the fiat land for distance Of
200 yards back from the river front. is
inundated, but there is no extensive dam
age reported. The cellars of business
had sufficient warning from the weather
bureau, and had removed their goods very

The water came into the power house

partment chad to be brought into service
to pump out the cellars so that the fires
could be kept going In the boilers, which
furnish the power to the electric street

The hotels were unable to warm their

New York, March 1.-The Atlas line

and the top of her funnel above water.
The lighthouse tender John Rodgers
visited the wreck of the Ailsa this after

yesterday the French passenger
steamer la Bourgogne was towed
into pier 42. North River, at
o'clock this morning. Her cabin
and steerage passengers at once took
shore leave, and the work of repairing the
damage was rushed. A plate Of the same
size as the damaged one has been bolted
over the crack. This will give her dou-
double thickness of plating at this part,
which Is just over the collision bulk

at o'clock.
Capt Poirrot has nothing to say of the
accident, other than to bitterly deny that
the La Bourgogne steamed away leaving
the passengers of the Ailsa to their fate
without an effort to help them. The
screws of his ship, he said, were reversed
and going at fun speed when the collis-
ion occurred. This motion naturally tore
La Bourgogne from the cash in the ALI
sa's side. The boats drifted apart, and
the fog shut them from each others
sight. He did not know whether or not
the Ailsa was anchared or proceeding
under steam. AS soon as possible, he
said, whale boat was lowered and
searched for the missing steamer. but
could not find her. The hunt was not
abandoned for some time.
Thomas H. Barrett, one of the board Of
local steamboat inspectors, has Inspected
the vessel, and says that she Is as tight
as a riVet.

SCARE OF THE SULTAN.
He Drives to and From the Mosque
at Break-Neck Speed.


at Break-Neck Speed.
Constantinople, March 1.-The annual
ceremony of the kissing of the mantle of
the prophet by the sultan took place to-
day. The fears that an attempt would be
made to assassinate the sultan, robbed the
ceremony of much of its usual picturesque
ness, and the crowd that generally at
tends to witness the passage of the sultan
from the Yilnese palace to the mosque in
the city proper, where the mantle is kept,
was compare lively small, the people fear
ing that the slightest suspicious action
would lead TO arrest. The sultan drove
in a closed carriage from the palace. The
horses went at their swiftest pace, and
it was almost impossible to recognize the
royal equipage. The entire route was
guarded by strong detachments of troops.
Every precaution was taken to guard
against any attack upon the life of his
majesty The streets through which he
passed had been dug up in searches for
hidden mines, and the bridge across the
Golden Horn from Galata to Constanti-
nople, over which the sultan passed, was
guarded for days, to prevent it's being tam
pered with by the alleged conspirators.
There were on duty in the streets fully
Is 1000 soldiers. Little, if any, excuse was
needed by them or the police for making
arrests, and at least 1000 persons were
taken into custody. After kissing the
mantle the sultan returned to the palace
as rapidly as he had come to the city.

Salt Lake City, Utah. March HAIRY
Hyndes, the most prominent gambler in
the west, who runs establishments in Salt
Lake. Cheyenne, Laramie, Boise and
other cities, shot and killed Walter Din
woody, a prominent young business and
society man this morning at 10 O'Clock,
on account of the latters intimacy with
Hyndes' wife. Hyndes left Salt Lake for
Boise a few days ago, and returning un-
expectedly this morning, found Dinwoody
and Mrs. Hyndes occupying the same
bedroom at Hyndes residence. Hyndes
secreted himself in the bath room, where
the husband found him in his night robes.
He admitted his guilt and begged for his
life, and Hyndes, with great coolness, or
dered him to dress and get out. When
almost ready to leave, he, however, be-
came bold, and in the presence of the hus-
band, asked Mrs. Hyndes to accompany
him, saying that he woud take care of
her. This so aggravated Hyndes that he
drew his revolver and shot three times,
every ball taking effect. Dinwoody fell
mortally wounded, and three hours after
ward died. Hyndes at once gave himself
up to the police, but under the circum-
stances, 1t is generally believed he will
never be punished The deceased was
about 25 years old unmarried, and a son
of Henry DinWoody, of the Dinwoody Fur
niture Company, the largest establish
ment of the kind in the city. The family
is one of the oldest and most highly re-
Spected in the community.

SIDES WITH SPAIN.
Germany's Kaiser Has no Sympathy
With Liberty-LOyIng Americans.

Berlin, March. 1.-The lack of enter
prise characterizinz the German press is
shown by the fact that not a single news
paper has as yet commented seriously
upon the action of the United States SEN
ate in regard to Cuba. Instead of dis
cussing this, the most important and in
teresting topic of the day, the papers
have devoted their space to attacks upon
England's monomatallic policy. 1t is cur
rently reported that the emperor, in an
interview with the chancellor, Prince
HohenIohe, expressed a desire to send a.
communication in regard to the Ameri-
can Senate's action to the queen regent
of Spain, but was dissuaded by the chan
cellor from doing so. No clearly defined
opinion can be obtained as to how the
official press will be directed to treat the
matter. but the belief Is almost general
Spanish bias will be assumed.
