THE KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP
Colonel W. G. P. Breckinridge Not at All
Likely to Succeed Senator Blackburn.
Republicans in Better Shape Than
BcfOre-POssibility of Secretary
Cnrlisle's Election by Fusion.

There is no stock taken in Kentucky
circles ir Washington in the report that
Colonel w. c. P. Breckenridge is likely to
succeed Mr.. Blackburn in the Senate. The
situation at Frankfort may become very
complicated, but no probable contingency is
thought to point toward the choosing OF
Colonel Breckenridge.
The whole talk Of a gold democrat for
the place is based upon the suggestion that
the republicans may again fail to agree on
a man of their own. They failed last wiz
ter. If DIR. Hunter, who was the caucus
nominee. could at any time in the early
days of that contest have commanded the
united support Of his party he would have
been elected. But a few men refused to
support him, just as there were a few dem
ccrats who refused to support Mr.. Black
burn, and DR.. Hunter withdrew from the
race. The republicans then nominated ST.
John Boyle, a Louisville lawyer, and he
remained in the race to the end of the
struggle. With the promise of an extra
session of the legislature. Mr.. Boyle comes
forward with the claim that he is still the
caucus nominee of his party for the sena-
torship. ana is entitled on that account to
the support of the party now that 1t pos
sesses the power to elect.
There is an opinion, however, that this
Of Mr.. Boyle last winter was not much
more than a personal compliment When
it was made the case was hopeless. It was
entirely plain that the legislature would
n axe no choice, owing to the disorder into
which matters had been plunged by the
supporters of Mr.. Blackburn.
The republicans are in better shape now
than they were then so far as votes are
concerned. but tie old rivalries are reviv-
ing, and they may again prevent the throw
ing of the full republican strength to man
of that party. Herein lies the hope of The
election of a Senator by a fusion support.
II Mr.. Carlisle looms up strong in that
line of speculation. the Blackburn men will
probably attempt to defeat him by pro-
posing fusion with the republicans for the
election of somebody else.
1t is considered probable, however, that
in case the contest takes the form of fusion
offers, the gold democrats making one and
the silver democrats making another. the
republicans will treat with the former.
Mr.. Blackburn's failure in the state has
been so complete that the republicans could
not hope for justification If they permitted
him even indirectly and in the interest of
one Of their own number to name his sue
cessor. A great many men in the state re-
gardless of party would be glad to see Mr..
Carlisle again in the Senate. Colonel
Breckenridge, on the contrary, has no SEN
atorial support worth considering.

Prestdent Robson Denies KnOwl-
edge of Any Deal.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November To-
Frank De H. Robson of the Cleveland
Base Ball Club. before leaving for Chicago
to attend the meeting of the National
League, took occasion to deny emphatical-
ly any knowledge of the st. Louis deal or
any other sensation which may be sprung
at that meeting.
He declares that he will fight for the
anti-coaching rule. He is tired of the out
cry against rowdyism on the diamond and
thinks that doing away with coaching
would put end to both the outcry and
The rowdyism.
Another subject on which President Robi-
sen will make an argument is that of the
official ball. He says that as the contract
with the company that has furnished the
ball has expired he believes in securing
bids, and thinks that the league could OBJ
tain big bonus for adopting ball. Mr..
Robson is satisfied that the Tebeau mat
ter will not be heard from, and thinks that
the less the subject is stirred up the less
odor will arise.

THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF.
Changes That May De Made After Tho
4th of March.

Changes That May De Made After the
4th of March.
While mCst of the gossip concerning cabi-
net positions and other federal Offices is
mere guesswork, 1t is stated with some
show of authority that President-elect Nc
Kinley has already determined upon por-
ton of the makeup of the White House
force. Major Mckinley will come into the
presidency situated somewhat differently
from other recent occupants of the White
House. He has had a corps of clerks and
assistants about him during the campaign.
while President Cleveland and Gen. Harri-
son had few such helpers. Gen. Harrison
brought with him to the White House
force Mr.. E. F. ffbbott. who had been his
campaign secretary, and Miss Alice B.
Sanger, who had been his personal Ste
nographer. President Cleveland found a
place at the White House in 1892 for only
one of his former assistants, Mr.. r. L.
O'Brien. who had acted as a stenographer
during the campaign. Major Mckinley has
an active force of three secretaries, all of
whom he may desire to have with him in
this city. One is James H. Smith, formerly
state librarian, who has been the literary
eeitor of McKinley's speeches from the
porch, and the statistician of the campaign.
Then there is James Boyle, who has had
general charge of the correspondence, and
has been for a long time Mckinley's right
hand man. In addition. the President-elect
is much attached to a young man named
Cooper, who Is his stenographer. All of
these may find places in this city. Major
Mckinley Is somewhat peculiar in his per-
scnal ways, arrangement of official papers,
private letters, etc, and will probably want
his confidential assistants to be within call
He also likes to have his brother Abner
near him all the time for tasks of a per-
sonal nature. and 1t is possible that he may
be given place on the White House stan.
These possible changes would work no
hardship to the present staff at the Execu-
tive Mansion. By provision of the civil
service law, they may all be transferred to
places OF the same compensation in the
departments, and this has usually been
done whenever an incoming President
found 1t desirable to make changes.
The present staff consists of Henry r.
Thurber. private secretary, who wifi
naturally retire; o. L. Pruden. assistant
secretary; William H. Crock and Georre
L. Cortelyou, executive clerks, and Warren
8. Young and Benjamin F. MONTGOMERY
clerks of the fourth class.
1t is probable that Mr.. Boyle will take
Mr.. Thurbers place. and Mr.. Smith and
Stenographer Cooper may take the places
now held. respectively, by VIM. H. Crook
and Stenographer Cortelyou, both OF whom
win, in that event, be given something just

Montgomery at the White House viii prob

a ST. Louis bank $150OOO, and 100000 had

A TRAMP'S STORY.
Saved a Train From Being Wrecked
at Peril of His Life.

CINCINNATI, Ohio November 1O.-A spe-
cial from Washington, Ind, says tramp
saved an express train from being wrecked
by dynamite a short distance east of
Mitchell. Ind. The story is that the tramp
about 1 am. found enough dynamite and
nitro-glyce rire on the track to blow the
engine to pieces as soon as 1t struck it.
Having no other mode of signaling. he ran
to the nearest switch, tore off the lamp
ard, returning, signaled the approaching
train. AS he was doing so he was shot at
by the wreckers, and was found uncon-
scious by the trainmen.
The officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern are inclined to doubt the
tramp's story, as they have no information
of his being wounded, nor Of his having
shown any dynamite. However, they have
ordered blcodhounds to the scene. and will
Investigate the matter.
