SIEGE REFUSED TO YIELD.
DR.. Hunter Again FniIed to Receive
n Majority


FRANKFORT. Ky, April S-When the
roll was called in the joint legislative ses-
sion today the silver democrats declined to
answer to their names. hoping that with
the assistance of the bolting republicans
they would be able to break a quorum. In
this they were unsuccessful. the gold demo-
Gratis answering with the Hunteritas, in
order to force the balloting. and the rcll
call showed seventy-one present. one more
than necessary to constitute a quorum
Unable to prevent a ballot, the silver men
voted for Blackburn when the ballot was
ordered, while the gold democrats voted
for the compromise candidate, Henry L.
Martin.
All but the paired members voted. There
were no significant changes, and the vote
stood: Hunter. 81: Blackburn. A: Martin,
IL; Boyle, 4; Stone. l. Necessary to

On motion of Representative Howard,
republican. no one was allowed near the
Clerks desk during the ballot not even
the sergeant-at-arms or the doorkeeper
for fear that something might be done. in
case Hunter should be elecred, that would
cause trouble.
When President Worthington first an
nounced the vote he gave Boyle nine votes
when he had only received seven. This
occasioned stampede. and for a time it
looked II there might be trouble 1t
was finally found that 1t was purely
clerical error. and a recapitulation Of the
vote was had.
No motion was made to adjourn, and
the second ballot was ordered by President
Worthington. The excitement was in
tense at all times. and when during the
first ballot 1t looked as If one vote would
elect DIR. Hunter there were a dozen men
around Senator Siege endeavorins to get
him to cast the deciding vote.
Siege, however. voted for Boyle.
There was no change on the second bal
let, with the exception that Hunter received
Ga stead of G1 and Martin II instead of

NO OBSTRUCTION CONTEMPLATED.
Senator Jones' Outlines the Plan OF
Democratic Senators.

Democratic Senators.
The other day Chairman Jones got let
ter from very prominent gold democrat.
in which the writer declared that if gold
democrats had known that the election of
Mckinley meant "a return 10 Mckinley
ism the republicans would not have been
gwen the assistance they got from gold
democrats.
The reply of Senator Jones was signifi-
cant and important as disclosing the atti-
tude of the democratic managers in the
Senate toward tariff legislation. The let
ter written by the gold democrat, after de-
nouncing "McKinleyism,' went on to urge
the democrats in the Senate to fight the
Dingley bill by every means known to par
Harnentdry practice. Senator Jones reply
was that every Intelligent man knew that
the election of Mckinley meant the enact
ment of a high protective tariff law. The
issue was Squarely presented. he said, be-
tween increased taxation on the one hand
as a cure for the evils from which the
country is suffering, and on the other hand
the relief of the people by currency legis-
latlon. The advocates of relief by taxa
tion.' he said. were successful. and those
who contributed to that success had in
dorsed tne principle. He said. therefore,
that he was opposed to any obstruction to
the tariff measure. While he did not approve
OF the bill and did not believe any good
could come of Ii. and would surely vote
against Il. giving it aid or comfort. he
would rot endeavor to obstruct legislation
This reply carried with II the idea that
nothing would be done by the democrats
10 interfere with full test of the tariff as
measure of relief. This reply is sisnifi-
ca9t. inasmuch many letter Of the
sort to which the reply was made are be-
ing received from gold democrats. 1t
means that the tariff bill Is to go through
the Senate as speedily as the republicans
can handle it.

MIR. CURZON'S STATEMENT

CANEA, Crete. April S.-The foreign ad-
mirals have sent a warshp to kissamo.
with instructions to assist the Turks in
evacuating that place. tine latter having
declared it to be impossible to resist the
insurgents.
The fire which broke out yesterday near
the cathedral in Gambia destroyed the resi-
dence Of the bishop. The Greek quarter
was saved by the Italian marines, who
demolished a number of buildings in order
to check the progress of the confiagration.
The Mussulmans of Sitia are suffering
from want Of water, the wells of the town
not sufhcing to supply their needs. and the
insurgents driving them back whenever
they attempt to obtain water outside of the
town. in spite of the protection afforded by
the foreign warships in Sitia bay.
The barracks occupied by the Italian
marines doing duty on shore at Gambia
have been burned to the ground. The cause
of the fire is not known.
A detachment of six hundred additional
Russian troops and an additional detach-
ment of seven hundred British troops have
arrived here.
The admirals of the foreign fleets and
the consuls held meeting today at Suda.
The question discussed was whether the
consuls should renew parleying with the
insurgent leaders. 1t was decided not to
do so.
ELASSONA, Macedonia, April S.-Thc
Turkish army remains camped in the posi-
tions which it occupied on Tuesday last.
The Turks continue strengthening the de-
fenses of the passes leading from Greek
territory.
The troops are very much disappointed at
the fact that the Greeks have not attacked
them. and the conversation of the soldiers
and subaltern officers shows their temper
to be such that in the event of an outbreak
of hostilities and the repulse of the Greeks
no Turkish general dare act otherwise
than invade Greece.
LONDON, April S.-Answering a question
in the house of commons today relative to
the date of the evacuation of the Island of
Crete by the Turkish troops the parlia-
mentary secretary for the foreign Office
Mr.. George N. Curzon, said that France
had asked the powers for their views on
the carly evacuation of the island by the
Turks: but he added, 1t was impossible 20
announce the exact date of the withdrawal
oi the Turkish forces. Several Of the pow
ers. he continued. were of the opinion that
the Greek troops must first be withdrawn.
LONDON. April S.--A crowd of people
gathered at Charing Cross railroad station
today to witness the departure of Mrs.
OrmiSton Chant and the six nurses who
are going with her to the Island of Crete.
All of the members of the party were
dressed in smart uniforms of gray and

ONLY ONE BID.
Result of the Advertised Proposals
for ArmOr Plate.

The Navy Department received today but
one bid in answer to the advertisement
calling for proposals for supplying about
5000 tons of armor for the three battle
ships Illinois. Wisconsin and Alabama. and
this one was so irregular in form as to be
far wide of the advertisement The bid
was from the Illinois Steel Company of
Chicago. and it proposed to supply the 5000
tons of armor desired at s2tD per ton on
condition that it was given a twclty-year
contract to supply all df the naval armor.
In such case the remainder of the armor
beyond the 500 tons would be supplied
at $40 per ton. The armor was to he paid
for in gold coin. An alternative PROPOSE
ton contemplated the erection of an armor
plant by the government and its supply
with steel by the Illinois company.
The interest felt in the results of today'S
bidding was manifested by the number of
persons present who are interested in the
metallurgical Industries of the country.
Lieut.. Stone was there for the Carnegie
company. Vice President Davenport aud
Messrs- Meiggs and McElvane for Bethle-
hem: President Harrah and Mr.. Petrie for
Midvale steel works: Ckas. Cramp for the
Cramp shipbuilding works: VIM. P. Palm
er. second vice president of the Illinois
Steel Company; General Hyde. president of
the Bath iron works: ex-Secretary Herbert
and gathering of naval experts from the
ordnance, engineering and construction bu-
reauS.
In view of the fact that Congress had
by an amendment to the naval appropria-
tion bill limited the sum to be paid for
armor for the three battle ships to a maxi
mum OF S}U' per ton. against about $500
now paid. there was no surprise expressed
by the persons present in the Secretary's
office when Secretary Long taking his place
at the head of the table announced after
looking over the papers that but one bid
had been received. which was from the
Illinois Steel Company of Chicago a con-
Germ which now for the first time enters the
fed of competition for supplying the gov
ernment armor. Before the bid was read
Lieutenant Stone, for the Carnegie Com
paHy, and Vice President Davenport for
the Bethlehem Company. presented to Sec
retary Long written statements of the rea-
sons which had impeiled these companies,
which have heretofore supplied all the ar
NOR used by the government in building
the new navy. to refrain from submitting
proposals in answer to the present adver-
tisement. The letters were laid aside with
out being read for subsequent considera-
ton The proposal of the Illinois Steel
Company was then read by the judge

of a filled in blank which is supplied by
the department but in the shape of two

has been already stated.
