all-round misunderstanding two men
appeared at the barge Office, each claim

immigrant might have been admitted
had she acknowledged one Of the men,
but she declared that she had never
seen either. The men were sent about
their business and the woman will be
sent back to Europe.
Solomon Jan, 30 years old, a Galician
peddler, who arrived on the steamer
Pennsylvania, said that he had been
here before and that he had wife and
two children living at 14S Ridge street.
It looked presently as though he had
two wives and one child, for there were
two women in attendance at the barge
Office, each ready to be the wife, and
one had a child. He and they were un-
able to reconcile their statements as to
the number, ages and names Of their
children. Solomon was ordered to be

Mount Sterling, who is one OF the leading
Republicans of Eastern. Kentucky, and
the nominee for governor before Bradley,
that Governor Bradley had decided to is.
sue on February n proclamation for an
extra session of the legislature. This
settles all doubts about Governor Bradley
appointing Il successor to United States
Senator Blackburn. Governor Bradley
wanted to appoint John w. Yerkes, Of
Danville, his warm personal friend, and
member Of the Republican national
committee. but he has reason to fear that
the Senate would refuse 10 accept Yerkcs
on such conditions.
DIR. w Godfrey Hunter, who had n ma
lority OF the Republicans of the legisla.
ture pledged to him, is representative of
Il faction with which the governor is at
war, anu for this reason alone he refused
to call an extra session. Hunter has
strong silver views, it is claimed-at
least he gave pledges in favor of silver
but since the st. Louis convention he has
agreed to stand by the international con-
ference plank.
Until Presidcnt-eledt Mckinley,
