The subcommittee on Qualifications
of the house appropriations committee
conferred with Colonel Bliss, who ap-
peared as the representative of Secre-
tary Lamont. Much of the discussion
related to providing for all the appur-
tenances when the guns are built.
Colonel Bliss expected that the depart
ment has not been able to satisfy car
riages for the 12-inch guns. In the
meantime he recommended that the
government should proceed with the
building of guns and provide carriages
afterwards, particularly as carriages
can be made in a much shorter time
than guns.

FRANKFORT. KY, March THE
senatorial contest today resulted in a
stampede on one ballot and a. panic
on the other and bordering on riot in
both. The friends Of Senator Black
burn thought he was elected at the
end of the first ballot and began cele-
b1ating. Before the confusion sub
sided for the announcement word was
sent everywhere that Blackburn was
elected. 1t was easily made during
such a stampede; but Il is the general
opinion that it required great efforts
TO prevent the election of secretary
Carlisle on the next ballot.
The Republican leaders in the mouse
became confused early in the morning,
when they permitted the postponement
Of the Dunlap-Kaufman contest till
Monday, instead of carrying out the
decree of last nights caucus to GUST
Kaufman the first thing and get Dun
lap in before the senate could retahate
previous TO the joint ballot.
SOLD HIMSELF.
The key to the contest was the pair
between Weissinger, a hard money
Democrat, and Chambers (Republi-
cam. When it became evident that
unless this pair was broken Blackburn
would be elected, Weissinger, from mis-
sick bed in the hotel, released Cham
bers if the latter would vote for Car
Isle. This act defeated Blackburn, as
the stampede had reached its climax.
The sound money Democrats had
gone to Blackburn, while the Repub-
licans were rushing TO Carlisle. The
vote of Chambers for Carlisle did more
than all gavels, presiding officers and
ergeants-at-arIns for order. There
was a panic when Representative Ly-
ons Rep) OF Newport, said he would
vote for Blackburn If the Republicans
went to Carlisle.
Tonight both sides are holding con-
ferences for the contest Monday and
the feeling against the So-called boilers
IS intense on both sides.
Without Weissinger Internationally
paired Blackburn cannot be elected.
The Republicans will pair with Weis-
singer only on condition that the
member pairing with him be allowed
to vote for Carlisle Violate and Car
roll may come to Blackburn. Speight
voted for Blackburn today for the first
time, but declares tonight he will never
do so again. The Republicans insist
that they will seat Dunlap in Kauf-
mans place Monday before there is
any other joint ballot

The young fellow was extremely diff

girl.
He had made half a dozen attempts
to offer her his heart and hand, but on
each occasion he had fallen short.
To add to the seriousness of the situa-
ton, the girl was ready to. accept him
as soon as the proposal was in definite
shape.
Even the mother was willing, but lat
terly she had grown tired Of the dtla-
tory tactics and Fabian policy of the sui
tor and had kicked on his coming so
often any staying so late.
One night, after three hours of strug-
gle on his part, and much delicate en-
couragement on the part Of the girl, he
had seized her hand convulsively,
cropped on his knees impetuously and
was about one-f1fth through an impas-
