The authorities of Scotland Yard
have finally untangled large conspir-

successful for years past, owing to the
fact that the victims were unwilling to

In fact, rumors go so far as to state
that the blackmailers have not stopped

HOUSE DEMOCRATS.
Agree Upon a Policy to be Pursued in
Congress.

r WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The diff
ferences of opinions among the Demo-
cratic members of the House on the
policy to be pursued by the minority,
which cropped out during the debate
in the short session held to-day, in
duced the Democrats to hold caucus
Immediately after the House ad-
journed, to seek their bearings.
Bailey made the first move by offer
ing a resolution, which in substance
follows:
Resolved, That the Democratic
members of the House of Representa-
tives are willing to consider any legis-
lation which the Republicans may pro-
pose, to support it if it is good, to OPP
pose 1t If it is bad. But believing that
most of the measures proposed by the
Republicans are opposed to the best
interests of the country, they will not
urge the Republicans to take action.
The Bailey resolution was adopted by
a vote of 2 to 1.
Then De Almond of Missouri offered
a second resolution declaring that the
Democrats did not indorse the Repub-
lican programme of House sessions
every third day.
The De Almond resolution was
adopted also by small majority, many
having left the caucus when the vote

KENTUCKY SENAqORSHIP.
A SENSATION IN CONNECTION
WITH THE CONTEST.
A rlember of the Legislature Says he
Was Offered a Large Sum to
Vote for Hunter.

FRANKFORT Ky), April 10.-The
| fight for the office of United States
Senator, which has now been in pro-
gress for many days, has developed
| first class sensation. From the first
Hunter has been the favorite in the
race But with the utmost efforts Of
himself and his followers it has been
impossible to obtain the required num-
Der of votes. Sixty-four votes are
| necessary to elect, and Hunter has
succeeded in getting only sixty-one-
For days he has been within three
votes of victory but the three votes
have been beyond his reach. Every
method of legitimate persuasion and
argument has been resorted to in vain,
and now the assertion has been made
that the Hunter side has not confined
itself to legitimate methods.
i Yesterday Captain Gaines, one of the
most prominent of the supporters Of
/ Governor Bradley for the Senate, APP
! peared before the Grand Jury and
made specific charges of bribery. He
| charged that DR. Hunter had offered
| to pay to him $4,000 for the three
votes that are needed to elect him, or
at the rate of $1,000 for each vote.
The statement made by Gaines has
caused intense excitement and it is
! believed that If he can prove his as
| sertions it will completely destroy all
/ chance of Hunters election, but the
partisans of the latter deny that Gaines
can prove that money was offered.
| The whole city was excited to-day
| over the legislative bribery sensation.
and when the joint assembly met the
room was crowded with people who
were drawn thither by the expectation
| of exciting scenes. An hour before
| the joint assembly met the Hobbies
were damned with people.
| And the crowd got what it wanted
| excitement. When the roll was called
/ only the Hunter men responded, and
Notwithstanding the fact that no quo
/ rum was present a vote was taken, re-
suiting in 81 for Hunter and / for
| Boyle.
The greatest confusion and excite
| ment prevailed during the voting At
one time fight occurred and the at
! tempts of the Sergeants- Arms to ar
rest the fighters only added TO the ex-
] element. There We're many women in
| the place, and they crowded, panic
stricken, under the gallery.
| The fighters were Thomas Morrow of
| Somerset, who attacked Peter Sanders
with brass knuckles. The two men
/ We're arrested.
Scarcely had the men been removed
| when the Assembly was again thrown
/ into excitement by the information
that a fight with the police had taken
| place outside the Capitol, and that a
| crowd of Sanders friends armed with
! pistols had rescued him.
| Amid great confusion a motion to
adjourn was made, but a tie vote de-
| feated it. Then, the confusion still
continuing, second ballot was taken
| with no change. Another motion to
adjourn proved successful, and to-day's
/ session ended.
The Grand Jury met this morning
| and indictments We're drawn against
| Hunter for bribery. Hunters mana
| gers have issued a written statement

DETAILS OF THE INVASION.
ATHENS, April 1O.-A dispatch from
Larissa gives details Of the invasion of
Macedonia by a force of irregular
Greek troops. Three thousand men, it
is said, crossed the frontier on Wed
nesday. The expedition was COM
manded by ex-officers of the regular
army of Greece, and includes band of
Italian volunteers, commanded by Col
Onel Ciprani. All the Greeks are we'll
armed and have been equipped at the
expense of Ethnike Hetairia, the Greek
secret society, which has been the root
and branch of the present crisis, prac-
tically controlling the country. They
were given an enthusiastic send-off by
the Thessalians and the Greek troops.
The latter made no attempt to prevent
their depar ture.
1t cannot be claimed that the move
ment was unknown to the Greek au-
EMMY intrusted to the insurgents, and
good arrangements have been made for
the forwarding of food and supplies.
The news of the invasion caused the
most intense excitement here. A dis
patch from Arta, dated IL o'clock last
night, announces that Admiral Krissis
has assumed command of the Greek
squadron in the gulf Of Amdracia.
ELASSONA, April 10.-The telegraph
line between here and Janina, the head
quarters of the Turkish army stationed
there to meet the possible advance of
Greeks from Arta has been cut, but the
service continue via MOnsatari. The
Greek irregularS crossed the frontier in
the night time and surprised and
burned Turkish outpost stations. The
Turkish troops are advancing toward

| Over $1,000 people We're packed with

betting ring was damned to such an
extent that many spectators were
compelled to witness the race without

| When the barrier was raised to a
perfect start Salvation. Installator and
| Wheel of Fortune were first to show
| in front in the order named, passing
the stand in similar positions. Ruinart
was sixth with the favorites, Candel-

maintained with very little change un-

with but little persuasion Ruinart
| gradually closed on the leaders, and in
a driving finish beat The Roman out
