STILL in "A DEADLOCK
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE UNABLE
TO ELECT A SENATOR.
Democrats and Republican Boilers
Refused to Vote Yesterday and
There Was No Quorum.

FRANKFORT, Ky, April 2-The Repub-
lican and Democratic steering committees
this afternoon reached an agreement by
which only formal ballot is to be taken
for senator tomorrow, and no effort will
be made TO elect No interesting develop
ments are therefore expected in the con-
test before next week The situation now
looks more like permanent deadlock, end
ing in no election. than it has at any time
during the session.
No quorum voted to-day. and the twenty
second ballot developed only Hunters usual
strength, which would have been within
three votes OF an election had the Black
burn people and anti-Hunter Republicans
voted. The Democrats and Republican
boilers feared that the Hunterites were
about to put up some job on them when
the joint assembly was called TO order. and
declined to answer to their names at roll
call. Sxty-five answered. but sixty-nine
were necessary to a quorum. However
President Worthington, who has ruled very
literally on this point, ordered the twenty
second ballot. which resulted: Hunter, 80;
Davie, z: Boyle. 1. Total; 63. No election,
and the joint assembly adjourned.
The Hunterites were very much chagrined
after the joint assembly had adjourned
because of the fact that the opposition
could break a quorum whenever ii pleased

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 2-The river to-
night reached seventeen feet three feet
above the danger line, and the unoccupied
flats on the west side of the river are flood
ed, while the water has surrounded many
small shanties in the upper flats, driving
their occupants to schoolhouses and other
buildings. The property loss will not be
heavy, but the suffering will come on the
afford il.
Reports from all over this State and from
the Red river valley and the valley of the
Jim river in South Dakota, are to the same
effect The heavy SHOWS of the past winter
have had more to do with the flood than
the recent local rains. Throughout the
sofa and in South Dakota many trains have
been abandoned. and many towns have had
no mails for three or four days. Loss from
stoppage of business and from damaged
property will be heavy all over the North
