KENTUCKY SENATORSHiP.
1t Is Narrowing Down to Contest BE-
tween Three Candidates.

Louisville, KY, March 12.-The con-
test for the seat in the United states
senate, which is to be filled by the spe-
cial session of the legislature, called by
Governor Bradley to meet at Frankfort
next week. is narrowing down to a
6eht between DR.. w. G.. Hunter, st.
John Boyle, last sessions caucus NOM
inee of the Republicans, and w. j.
Deboe. a partp leader In this state.
DIR. Hunter, came from Washington
soon after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and has since been in
dustriously at work with his friends.
They now claim with confidence ana
some show of justification, that the
doctor will receive the Republican eau
Gus nomination on the first ballot; that
he has fifty-one out of seventy Repub-
lican votes pledged to his support In
caucus. and that in addition to the full
party strength he will receive In the
Joint session the votes of at least five
gold Democrats. The friends of ST.
John Boyle are vigorously urging his
claims as the Republican caucus nomi-
nee whom, they say. 1t would be un-
wise to displace. The numerous other
candidates arc by no means idle, pu'
the Hunter men seem to have the best
of the situation.

PLUM FOR II. CLAY EVANS.
The Tennesseean rendered the Office OF
Commissioner of Pensions.

Washington, March 12.-H. Clay Ev-
ans of Tennessee has been rendered the
office of commissioner of pensions and
will, in all probability, accept the ap-
pcintment, which is one of the most inn
portant in the departmental service at
Washington outside of the cabinet Of
fees.
Mr.. Evans is well known to public
men throughout the country and long
has been recognized as a leader among
southern Republicans. He represented
the Chattanooga district in congress for
several terms, and in the Harrison ad-
ministration was first assistant post
master general. Later on he ran for
governor Of Tennessee on the Republic
an ticket and made a remarkable run.
The result was I'm doubt for many weeks
and it was not until a warm fight be-
fore the board appointed to review the
election that it finally was announced
officially that Governor Turney, his
Democratic opponent, had been re-
elected. He was considered for some
time not unlikely to be the southern
representative in Mr. McKinley's cabi-
| net. Mr.. Evans is a business man ana
| Of conceded executive ability He Is a
manufacturer and has a large railway
supply repairing establishment in Chat
tanooga. He is also a forceful and ef'
| fective speaker.

form monthly. Last Saturday over

purpose and then he disappeared with
