PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT.
Naval Medical Director Bates Sue
cecds DIR. O'kcilly.

cScuS DE. "
Medical Director Newton l.. Bates of the
United States navy has succeeded Major
Robert O'Reiliy of the medical department
OF the army as physician to the President
and his family. There is no such office
known to the law, and the orders in the
case would not indicate any such duties.
DIR. OReilly was stationed in Washington
as attending physician to the officers of
the army. and, in addition TO his regular
duties, he was called on to attend ex-presj-
dent Cleveland and the members Of his
family whenever il was deemed necessary
lnaSmuch as the President is commander
ln-chief of the army anu navy il was gen.
eraily held that he was legally entitled
10 the benefit of the professional service 8
OF an army surgeon, despi.. he occupied
a civil office outside of the regular mill
tary establishment Consequently it is in
ferred that DIR. o Reilly regarded the chief
executive as military patient and
charged no fees for professional service g
rendered.
DIR. Bates of the navy was the regular
physician of Major AMI Mrs. Mckinley
during the majors career in Congress, sew
eral years ago, and it is, therefore, natural
that he should resume tha. relation to-
ward him on his return 20 this city in his
present exalted capacity. The physician
was not again called upon to act in a pro-
fessional capacity until :he President de-
cided upon his present trip on :he Dolphin
when, as a matter Of precaut he in
vited DR.. Bates to accompany him and
this city as chief of the naval bureau Of
hygiene, and his Attendance ON the Presi-
dents family will not interfere with his
regular duties.

FEELING HIGH AT FRANKFORT
Another Fruftlexs Ballot Taken for
United States SENATOR

Nnted states senator.
LOUISVILLE. KY. April Ia special
to the Evening Post from Frankfort saws:
There was murmur Of surprise when
the senate filed into the house for a Joint
session. The redoubtable Jack Chinn ho
figured SO extensively in the session last
winter, occupied a seat at the door, while
Captain Thomas Tanner, who testified be-
fore the grand jury against Dr. Hunter AMI
his lieutenants, stood Just behind him The
republicans were nonplussed for a time,
but as no offensive move was made the
incident was soon forgotten.
When the roll was called the Hunter
republicans answered promptly to their
names. but the gold democrats, bolting
republicans and free silver democrats de-
clined to answer, thus breaking quorum.
Representative Burnam Of Madison coun-
ty, a Hunter man, denounced the tactics OF
the opposition in round terms, saying that
there were 125 members of the general as
sembly on the floor and only forty-five had
answered. the continuation of which tao
ties, he said, was a disgrace to the state
A ballot was ordered. which resulted in
forty-four votes being cast for Hunter.
No quorum being present, the general
assembly adjourned.
EX-Congressmen Ilson and Franks the
Hunter republicans who are implicated
with their leader i'm the alleged attempt at
bribery, were summoned before the grand
jury this morning on the recommendation
of Attorney General Taylor, who said that
he did not want to see the grand jury be-
come a mere engine for political persecu-
ton. Representative w. A. Baird sound
money democrat from Davies county. was
also served with a subpoena and it was
stated that he was to be questioned as to
whether or not he had been offered money
by the Hunter managers.
The situation here is grave. The feeling
runs very high and personal alterations
are looked for at any time.

7 H E TAR RIFF BILL
Demands Of Western Senators as to Hide
and Lead Ore.
Also as to Changes I'm the Wool Glass;
ffcatfou-No Fear Felt for the
Result Of the Measure.

The western senators have resolved
among themselves that they will insist
upon the duty on hides and lead ore and
the change in the wool classification so as
to have but one or two classes with duty
from cents upward. AS far as their dec
larations go, 1t appears that tey mean to
nave what they want I'm this respect or else
nave no tariff bill These bold declarations
however. overstate the situation. The ex-
recitation of the wise heads in the Senate
is that the wool schedule will be made sat
lslactory to the senators representing that
interest and that they may secure an in
crease of the lead ore duty.
IL Is doubtful whether they will get all
they want on this item. and II is not prob
able that they will be able to get any dutv
on hides.
II Is as near certainty as anything can
be In advance that the threat to defeat
the bill will not be carried out 1t is not
