KENTUCKY DEADLOCK,
RUMOR THAT HUNTER WOULD
WITHDRAW CALLS OUT A
CROWD.
But He is Still in the Race-Don't krow
Where He Will Be Able to Secure
Another Vote-One Man Brought to
the Session Who is Almost on the
Verge of the Grave.

Frankfort, KY. April 2O.-The state
ment given out by Hunters friends this
evening that he had already prepared a
card withdrawing from the senatorial
race, has served to bring mother big
crowd OF politicians to the capital. Many
Of those who arrived tonight came to
the others are candidates who hope 10
be made the nominee. The truth seems
to be that the mission of both sides is u
useless one. Hunter, the knowing ones
say. may have prepared such a state
ment, but he is not prepared to with>
draw. His enemies say his intimations
that he will withdraw are made only for
effect, and that when the Franklin grand
jury adjourns he will once more claim
his right to fight it out on this line il it
takes all summer
Some of those urging Hunter to with
draw, hope to inherit his strength. Even
if Hunter were ready to withdraw it is
argued he would not do so until he could
lie more certain that he had Holt, whom
he has learned to dislike, defeated for
the succession.
At present Holt seems to have the
solid support of the Hunter opposition
n the negative vote. while the Hunter
strength, to be inherited by any posi-
BILE successor, is div ided among a doz-
en- of the candidates, principally among
whom and in whose favor Hunter him.
self is divided, are: Mayor George D.
Todd Of Louisville, ex-Congressman
George NJ. Thomas Of Lewis county and
State Senator Deboe. The gentlemen
who oppose Hunters withdrawal are
urging that with such a state Of affairs
there would surely be a wrangle and row
hat would make as difficult the cleo
ton of the new nominees US seems that
OF the present standard bearer. There
are both friends and enemies of Hunter
who believe that he will withdraw to-
morrow and that the new caucus will
be held tomorrow night. But the shrewd>
est politicians Of them all laugh at the
idea and say that the withdrawal, il it
comes at all, is away in the future.
A sensation was created everywhere

Coming Conference Regarding Ar
ranEements Of the Interior.

An arrangement has been made by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Post
master General for conference between
representatives of the Treasury and Post
Office departments in regard to the prep
aration of the Washington city post office
building for the use of the general Post
Office Department in accordance with the
action of Congress. A few days ago Secre-
tary Gage informed Postmaster General
Gary of the action of Congress providing
for the transfer, and asked IL he had any
ment of the interior Of the building.
A reply was received from the Postmas-
ter General today saying briefly that he
had referred the matter to the committee
on post office plans and buildings, of which
Mr.. NJ. d. Wheeler is chairman. and that
that committee would be pleased to con-
suit with a representative of the Treasury
Department on the subject
Mr.. Otto G. Simonson, chief draughtsman
of the supervising architects office, who
is Thoroughly familiar with the general
plans and construction of the city post
office building. has been designated to rep
resent the Treasury Department in this
matter. He will meet the committee at
the Post Office Department Monday and
ascertain what changes, If any, are desired
in the interior arrangement of the build
ing to meet the purposes of the general
post Office.
Meanwhile the plumbing work and the
installation of the heating and ventilating
apparatus is suspef ded. 1t is not believed
that any extensive changes in the building

to the Almighty Ruler of the Universe, to
Him who judges righteously, and sht
might well have added, right there, and
also commit my people at the same time to
the hopeless misery and degradation Of q
coolies fate, after having tasted of the
personal freedom of the Anglo-Saxon.
The Ex-Queen's Claim.
Another point in her protest calls for
special comment, namely, her claim to the
crown lands, so called. The crown lands
were appurtenant to the throne, precisely
as the White House is appurtenant to the
office Of President This status of these
lands was determined by legislation and the
judicial Interpretation of the court of last
resort in Hawaii long before the queen ever
saw the throne. They are simply that por-
tion of the government lands whose reve-
nues were set apart to the monarch for the
time being. The original dynasty is ex-
tinct, and all their lands have been made
over by the last of the race for educa tional
purposes among the Hawaiians. If there
were any possible claim against these lands
outside of the government it would not be
IN the queen, anyhow, for she is not one of
the original dynasty nor one of their blood.
These crown lands have been under the
control of the government and it's legisla-
ture for generation past, and the present
claim of the queen to these lands is prac-
tlcally on the same legal footing as claim
on the part of President Cleveland would
-
while no provision has been made for
the queen or her niece under this annexa-
ton treaty, there is no doubt whatever if
annexation is accomplished, the local gov
ernment in Hawaii will make suitable pro-
vision for them if they care to take it, as
they are now doing for Kaiuani and did
for the queen until she began to scheme for
Its overthrow. This would be prompted
not by any consciousness of injustice to the
dethroned monarch, but out of respect to
the office that she once filled.
There is no doubt that if the queen and
those who held Office under her were to
leave the native people free to acquiesce in
the new order of things they would have
corae into line long ago. A goodly number
Of them nave done so already, and have
braved the ill-will and persecution that has
been set on foot against them by the agents
OF the queen, who realize that she must
Keep the natives In apparently solid oppo-
sitfon to the republic and annexation at
any cost whatever, even to the native Ha-
waiians and their posterity."

Changes fn the Superyfsfnp

Acting Supervising Architect Kempcr
had conference with Secretary Gage to-
day in reference to reduction in the
force of his Office necessitated by the re-
duced appropriations for the next fiscal
year. He explained that the appropria-
tion for the year beginning July 1 next is
about $4,000 less than for the current fis-
cal year. and that 1t will be necessary to
reduce expenses accordingly. The differ
ence can be met by the removal of about
ten employees of the office or by a general
reduction of salaries. The former method
will prevail. The result will be known in
q few days.
1t is expected that the civil service conf
mission will shortly announce its plan for

NEW METHOD OF SWEEPING.
Streets Upon Which the Double Sys-
tenn VIII he Employed.

The ina Iglration of a new method of
sweeping the streets and avenues of Wash
irgton will begin July l, and the Com
missoners are confident under the new
arrangement the system will be materially
better than the one now in operation.
AS heretofore stated in The Star, a double
system of cleaning will be used. In other
words, machines will sweep the less i'm
portant streets, while hand labor under a
patrol system will be adopted for the prin-
cipal business and residence streets. 1t is
to be borne in mind, however, that the
machine work will be greatly improved,
for, under clause in the specifications
for this character of work, the machines
are to be followed by broom men who are
to sweep out the depressionS.
The grea test interest in the new method
centers about the schedule of streets upon
which the hand system is to be used. Fol-
lowing is list of the streets selected for
the hand sweeping system. Gradually this
list Will be increased by the addition OF
streets
