KENTUCKY POLITICS GROW WARM.
Exciting Scene in Legislature Feared
il Quorums Are Counted.

Frankfort. KY. May IA wild scene
occurred in the Senate. today. oyer an
attempt of the fused Gold Democrats
and Republicans to force through bill
providing for putting one name under
two different devices on the state cleo
ton ballots. The Silver Democrats
though in the minority, outgeneraled
the opposition. got one of their num-
Der. Senator Goebel, in the chair, pend
ing an appeal. and adjourned the SEN
ate.
The appeal was from the ruling Of
the regular Republican President, who
counted a quorum present, although
not voting. The majority refused to
stand adjourned on the announcement
of the Speaker pro tenn. President
Worthington was urged back into the
chair. "Falsehood' and 'indecency"
were words hurled between Stephenson
and Goeble, who seemed about to draw
weapons. Members had to get be-
tween the President and Bronson, but
the President finally declared the Sem
ate adjourned because the Democratic
clerks who left on the first announces
ment of adjournment would not do
their duty" as he expressed 1t.
The fight from this on will be against
any quorum till the end of the session
and if the President again counts q
quorum trouble is expected.

AN UNRULY LOVER.
he Visits School at Shirley
to See His Best Girl.
When Ordered Out Has Nice Little
Shindy With Committeeman.
They Chew Each Others Faces. and Each.
Indeed. Is Sight.

Foxcroft, May 14.-(SpeciaD. Shirley
was treated to quite a little amount of
excitement Thursday afternoon For
several days, Forest Turner, a guide,
has been visiting school, sitting beside
a girl whom he is counting. The teacher
never asked him to leave, but on Thurs
day afternoon, Committeeman Chas.
Davis and John Mitchell went to the
school house and calling Turner out.
told him he would have to get out as
they didn't want him there disturbing
the school
He turned around to get his mackin-
tosh and came out. Davis told him i'll
forcible terms to go to the Mills. Tur-
per as forcibly said it was none of
Davis business where he went as long
as he was off the school grounds. Davis
and Mitchell took him by the shoulder
and marched him deswn toward the
Mills
After going u little way, Turner
whipped out revolver. which by the
way was empty, and said he would
blow their heads off if they didn't let
him alone. After considerable lodging
to get out of the way of that empty
shooter they captured it. Davis struck
Turner, who in turn hit Davis over the
head with a stick. They grappled and
went down, Davis on top.
Davis was checking and punching
Turner when he grabbed Davis chin
with his teeth. Davis in return grab
bed Turner's cheek between his teeth
After hanging on long enough to suit
canabalistic tastes, both let go and
walked Off
Turner was arrested by Constable
Blackstone and brought here, this
morning, without any papers. Davis
after consulting with County Attorney
Hayes, found he was liable to punish
ment as we'll as Davis. so went back to
consult friends. AS yet it is unknown
what action will be taken. Both have
bad looking faces. but Davis is the
worse, having had four stitches taken
in his chin.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.
They Cannot Seem to Decide What Kind Of a
Measure They Want.

Washington. May 4.-There is some
difference of opinion among the Demo-
cratic members of the Senate commit
tee on finance as to the policy to be
pursued in regard to the tariff bill.
Some of them. notably Senator German,
are of the opinion that the Democrats
should prepare substitute bill and in
troduce it, They suggest that this Civ
ing uniformly lower rates than the Re-
publican bill either as prepared in the
House or as amended by the Senate
committee on finance They contend
that the Wilson law is not a clear en-
bcdiment of Democratic tariff doctrine
in that it not only does not produce
sufficient revenue, but that ii carries
many features which We're inserted at
the instance of Republican senators in
order to secure its passage through the
Senate.
There is, however, quite a pronounced
opposition to this programme on the
part of many Democratic senators in
GLIDING several members of the COM
mittee on finance They take the posi-
ton that the first course of the party
is to stand by the Wilson bill, which,
while it is not perfect. is still a DEM
ocratic measure. The party, they say.
has taken the position that no tariff
legislation is necessary. The campaign
was fought on another issue and they
hold that to raise the tariff question on
their own motion, would be inconsistent
and unwise.
Those who hold to this idea are
willing that amendments should be
offered covering all the schedules and
it seems probable that this course Will
be pursued. The amendments will pro-
vide practically on the line Of the VIII
son bill
