Miss Bradley to Christen the Battle
Ship Kentucky with Water.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 2S.--Next month,
when the battle ship Kentucky glides from
the ways at Newport News, her prov will
not be bathed in champagne, nor in good,
old Kentucky whisky The fair sponsor,
Miss Christine Bradley, will uncork "a
beautifully embellished silver vessel full of
pure water. On the farm in Larue county,
where Abraham Lincoln was born, there is
an unfailing spring of cold crystal water
where, in his boyhood the great emancipa-
tor was wont to slake his thirst, using
gourd for dipper. The idea is to have q
committee formally visit the spring, fill q
silver vessel with the sparkling water and
seal it with appropriate ceremonies Then
the vessel will be given to Miss Bradley,
who will guard 1t as a sacred thing until
the time for breaking the seal on board
the Kentucky.

The Tennessee pendlock.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan. 2S.-The Demo-
cratic legislative senatorial caucus met
again tonight and balloted thirteen times
without making nomination. Several
changes during the balloting were made,
but the last ballot showed that these
changes had been made only as ''feelers''
to discover whether the supporters of any
one of the three candidates could be stam-
peded or their lines broken. The last ballot
the 127th, stood: McMilln, 35; Taylor %:
Turley, 25, one member being absent who
would have voted for McMillin, leaving the
situation practically with one vote gained
for McNIillin. The caucus adjourned until
next Monday night. The belief that the
deadlock will not be broken is growing.

Reciprocity Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Respecting the
negotiation of reciprocity treaties between
the United States on one side and Spain
and Cuba and perhaps Porto Rico on the
other, 1t is officially admitted at the State
Department that such negotiations are I'M
der way They have not progressed very
far however, for the reason that an expert
commission is required to deal with the in
tricacies of the tariff schedules, which are
especially complex in the case of the Span
ish tariff, with its three sets of schedules,
each playing a particular part. AS hereto
fore stated, the basis for the treaties will
be found in the reciprocity treaties with
Spain, Cuba and Porto Rico, drawn under
the Mckinley act, and nullifled by the Will
son act, though changed business conditions
will be taken into account in making the
new arrangements. The negotiations were
initiated at the instance of our government,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The reported

Cadiz is viewed with unconcern in official
circles here, though yet there has been
no official confirmation Of the reported
order of the rendezvous. 1t is not believed
that the fleet is to be ordered to Cuba in
it's entirety. 1T would be a token of unlim-
tied confidence on the part of the Spanish
government in the continued neutrality of
other nations to deprive the Spanish home
ports of the protection of the fleet.
