Frankfort Ky, April 24.-The biggest
crowd of the extra session assembled in
the House of Representatives shortly be-
fore noon to-day, the hour for the joint
session. at which it was expected that the
| long and tedious wrangle would be ended
| by the election of w. ]. De Boe, to the
United States Senate. All during the
morning there were rumors to the effect
| that Senator Linney, of Louisville, who
| was one of the Boilers in the Hunter
| race, would not be present and that Rep
| resentative Lieberth, of New Port, also
| would be missing, both without pairs
| This caused the Republicans great uneasi-
ness.
TO add to this. the Gold Democrats
| held a caucus at noon and decided to
| assist the Silver Democrats in an effort
| to break a quorum. When President
| Worthington took the chair shortly af-
| ternoon, there was a strong smell OF hre-
and there was great excitement for II
| time, but it was quelled by the prompt
| action of the officers of the House, who
| appointed q committee to ascertain If
| there was a confagration in progress in
i
except some paper burning in corner,
and the excitement subsided. Governor
Bradley appeared ON the floor with Con-
gressman Colson and others of his friends
and this fact in itself caused some un-
easiness among the De Boe men, as it was
the first time the Governor has been or
the floor since the extra session convened
Just before the roll call Representative

1 but this was offset by Lieberth, who
was present and declined to answer to
his name. The roll call showed 60 pres
ent, necessary to a quorum, 10. n ealh
| for the ahsenteeS was demanded, and the
| De Boe men crowded about Linney and
Lieberth in an endeavor to control them,
Linney finally answered, but Lieberth
left the room, leaving only to present.
Senator Bronston, Democrat, moved an
adjournment, but President Worthington
over-ruled him and said that ballot
must be taken. quorum or no quorum.
| When Senator Linney's name was reach
ed he announced that he was paired with
| Senator Henry l.. Martin, who has BEEN
urged as the compromise candidate of the

left De BOe four short of an election,
and call of the absentees was demanded.
| This was productive of nothing to De
Boes benefit, and the ballot. as finally
| announced, stood: De Boe, 66; no quo
frum and no election.
There was a scene of the widest ex-
| ctement when it finally became known,
| that De Boe had been knitted and the
galleries and even the members of the
Legislature lost their dignity for mo-.
| ment An adjournment was moved and
carried, but there was the deepest feel
| ing manifest on all sides.
In the corridor Governor Bradley
found Mr.. Lieberth, whom he implored
to vote for the nominee.
Mr.. Liebcrth. however, refused to do

After the joint session, Senator Linney,
who voted to make n quorum but who
claimed he waspairedwith G3s Gui
claimed that he was paired with Senator
Martin, said that Ae honestly believed
that De BOe would be elected Monday,
E.e would not say what he would do.
BLACKBUENITES SMILING.

fact that they were greatly disappointed
at tO-days failure to elect the new nvmi-
nee for Senator. They are very secretivc
about their future Intentions hut to-
night it is known that no pressing at

next Wednesday, some of the paigs ROW
out, not expiring till that day There
are many wheels within wheels here
again and the truth lis hard to Obtain.
DeBoc is in danger and the Blackburn

and busy.
