Kentucky Legislators Will Make
Laws Surrounded by Bayonets.
ANGER AT THE GOVERNOR
Presence of DInecoats the signal for
Violent Dcnuncintiou in
the senate.

Frankfort, KY, March 16.-Today's
sensation in the senatorial contest
flashed in the pan. Bitter talk and a
fruitless ballot tells the story, and those
features have been present every day
since the fight began. The scenes, how
ever had a different setting, and to the
dramatic personae were added about
400 blue coats from Louisville, Lexing-
ton and Frankfort.
The Statutory effect Of this military
display does not appear on the surface,
because the reason for it's presence was
| apprehension and not the existence or
violence.
Three companies Of the state guard
took up their position on the state house
grounds this morning, and the Ken
lucky legislators filed through picket
lines to their meeting places in the
capitol The presence of this armed
force was the subject of numerous ceso-
lutions and acrimonious debate in both
houses before and after the joint ses-
sion.
The senate, by a strict party vote.
adopted a resolution reciting the action
of Governor Bradley in calling out the
militia, which was declared to be with
out warrant of law, necessity or justih-
cation" and appointing committee
headed by Senator Goebel, ito inquire
into such a contemplate breach of priv
ilege," and to report to the senate for
final action.
This was adopted as a substitute for
a resolution offered by Senator Bron-
ston, violently denouncing Governor
Bradley and declaring the purpose or
the senate to suspend all legislation
] while the military guard remained in
possession of the capitol.
The house got into a tangle over a
, number of resolutions offered by both
: sides, all of which were finally with
drawn.
At a joint session one ballot for Unit
ed States senator was taken to fulhi
+ legal requirements after the democrats
y and Populist Poor had broken quorum
by refusing to respond to roll call.
o Adjutant Collier announced that tn
Q militia will remain on duty until tn
= legislature adjourns.

Views in Committee.

Views in COmmtftee.
Washington, March 16.--Severai
members of congress interested in the
Sioux City & Pacific railroad appeared
before the house committee on Pacl-
fic railroads today to give their views
upon the proposition recently made by
Coombs, the Sioux City banker regard
ing that branch. Representatives MellS-
lejohn of Nebraska, Perkins of Iowa,
Fletcher and Towne of Minnesota, pre-
scented petitions from many towns ask
ing the construction of the road south
west from Sioux City to the North
Platte, contemplated in the original Pa
cific railroad acts. The advantages
such a line, as presented by Meikle-
John, are that it would diagonal three
systems, the Northwestern, Burling-
ton & Missouri and Union Pacific main
line, giving an outlet to farm products
and the benefit of like rates. These
members requested the committee to
include provisions for building this
branch in any general bill 1t may re-
port, and for that purpose ask that S4,-
900 900 be used from the sinking fund
established by the Thurman act and
invested in bonds in Sioux City. Sew
eral questions were asked upon the
right of congress to divert the sinking
fund to such purpose. Meiklejohn con-
tended that the sinking fund was al
ready invested in railroad bonds which
would bring fifteen millions if sold in
the New York market and the prop
osition was merely 70 invest $4,000 600 In
Sioux City bonds.
