KENTUCKY'S LONG FIGHT.
Hunter Again Comes Within Two
Votes of Election.

Louisville, KY, April "a special from
Frankfort, to the Evening Post says: I'm
terest in the senatorial struggle has begun
to wane. The contest will probably drag
on through the entire session. The anti
Hunter republicans are not ready to call
another caucus for fear that Hunter might
be selected by the new caucus.
''The Blackburn people to-day again at
tempted to break a quorum but were un-
successful. The twenty-ninth ballot re-
suited as follows: Hunter, 81; Blackburn,
As; Boyle, Z: Martin, 1S; Stone, /; present

ION motion to adjourn the vote stood
GA to GA, and Speaker Worthington cast
the deciding vote in favor of another bal
lot.
ION the second ballot Representative
Baldwin, one OF the republican boilers.
made an important speech and cast his
vote for Hunter. This caused the assem-
bly, to go wild, and for a time it looked as
IL Hunter would be elected without diff
ficulty. The ballot resulted Hunter, 63;
Blackburn, As; Martin, 1S; Boyle, 6; Stone,

session adjourned at 255 without result.

Frankfort, KY, April 9.-The return Of
Representative Baldwin, one of the bolt
ing republicans, to Hunter in to-day's ex-
citing senatorial ballot, has served to
raise the spirits of the republican sena-
torial nominee, and to put every Hunter
man to work as he has not worked be-
fore in weeks. The occurrence makes re-
mote any possibility of Hunters with
drawal, even if there should be no election
for weeks. with Hunter now lacking only
two votes of an election, 1t Is confidently
claimed that Senator Siege, another re-
publican bolter, will return to him when
ever his vote will elect and that one other
needed vote will be gotten somewhere, no
matter what pressure 1t takes to get It.
Hunters chances are brighter than they
have ever been before II Is almost cer-
tain that no quorum will vote tomorrow
and that the final struggle will not come
until next week.

London, Nov. 27.-Special dispatches
from Shanghai say that the German min

many for reparation for recent murders
of German missionaries and the destruc.
ton of the German mission property.
The demands include the payment OF
an indemnity of 100000 taels to the rela.
tives of the victims and also the payment
of heavy indemnity to cover the ex
penses of the German naval expedition
and maintenance of the German force al
Kaio Choa. The Chinese government re
piled that Kaio Choa bay must be eyacu
ated before the demands will be met, but
the ambassador refused to consent t.
this. Foreign diplomats say the German
conditions are impossible of acceptance
and assert that they were only presented
to enable Germany to retain Kaio Che,
bay and extend northward her occupatio,
of Chinese territohy.

in hot pursuit Sheriff Meyer, who was
passing on a stree. car, hearing the shots
and seeing the crowd, alighted and tool

| rounded. Officers Meredith and Barber
with lantern, crawled in after Phillips
whom they saw sitting under the rea
end of the building with his revolver il
his hand Meredith called out to him t,
surrender. Phillips drew his revolver t,
fire, but Meredith and Barber were to,
| quick for him. Their pistols rang out
and Phillips fell wounded through tn
arm and leg. He then surrendered. Whel
taken to Jail he said that he did not in
tend to kill Wells, but only to injure him
The shooting caused an immense sen
/ sation. Wells was popular officer.

RAILROAD MUST PAY HIM.
William Spaulding Has a Big judy
ment Affirmed

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 2s.-The supreme
court has handed own the DIGESTION in the
case of William L. Spaulding VS.. the
Occur dAlene Railway & Navigation
Company involving lain of some $685.
900 for balance due for construction of
the road from the Old Mission to Ward
ner Junction. The curious fact is brought
out that the engineers estimate of cost
was $4,000 while the actual cost was
over $4,000. Owing to disputes and to
the claim that the company violated its
portion of the contract, Spaulding did not
entirely finish the work, and the company
refused to settle with him. The lower
court gave him judgment for $23,657 and
interest and costs, amounting in all to
$36,5S7. This judgment is affirmed.
