Crush ORDERS FOR FLORIDA.
The Dolphin Left Warrington Navy
Yard Early Yesterday.

In obedience to rush orders,'' the dis
patch boat Dolphin left the Washington
navy yard early yesterday morning for
patrol duty along the coast of Florida. The
desire of the administration to reinforce its
marine force in that vicinity is indicated
by the sudden departure of the Dolphin and
the further fact that she is under orders
to proceed to Jacksonville without delay
making 10 stops en- route, unless necessi-
tated by stress of weather or unavoida BILE
accident The Dolphin is about a ten-knot
boat in long run and will probably reach
her destination tomorrow evening. The
Vesuvius will leave Philadelphia for Florida
on the 18th instant.

Bank Hearings Postponed.

The hearings before the banking and
currency committee Of the House. which
were to have commenced next Wednes-
day, have been postponed to a date to be
fixed upon and announced later. This was
necessitated by the fact that the controller
Of the currency, Mr.. Eokels. who was to
have led on the hearines with his testi-
mony, has been unahlei to prepare himself.
The recent bank failures throughout the
country have taken up so much of his
time. 1t is said, that he had to postpone
getting ready his material for the hearings.

KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
Mr.. Blackburn Does Not Believe an
Extra Session Likely.

Extra Session Likely.
Senator Blackburn does not believe that
Gov. Bradley will call an extra session of
the Kentucky legislature. The reason for
this belief is not stated, but it is probably
based on the knowledge of the bitter fight
between Bradley and Representative Hun
ter. Senator Blackburn's friends, it is
stated, are beginning to look at the matter
as he does, and find hope in that view. The
Kentucky people Of many shades of opinion,
however, are coming to the conclusion that
the central purpose of Gov. Bradley is to
try to get a majority of the republican
members of the legislature away from
Hunter before he calls the extra session.
II he can succeed in that the call for the
session may be looked for at most any time

The State Department has been informed
that Henry Delgado. now under arrest in a
Spanish prison near Havana, is likely to
die unless a surgical operation is performed
upon him. The Mail and Express, of which
paper Delgado is correspondent, believing
that the Spanish authorities, while not dis

met by Delgado. has offered to meet the

backed down by repeating the statute
which required the continuous dis

patriotism loses it's force. Patriotism
