tucked away In the buildings. The cellars even
were utilized. including the cellar OF the hospi-
tai, where sick old soldiers are now lying. Beds
are kept within eighteen inches OF one another
in the barracks to utilize all possible space. Col.
King declared the situation so bad ms to impera-
lively demand special legislation Immediately.
The Home. he said. could not wait until Juno
for an appropriation. What Is wanted Ia $685.
600 to cover the following needs: For q new bar.

Tne Congressman Leads IN the BaIetfnE FOR
Tenuea.Paia Aenatornhtn.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Jan. 19.-The Democratic
Members Of the Legislature held n caucus to-
night for tho nomination OF q candidate for
United States Senator to fll the unexpirod term
Of the late Senator Harris. Representative
Brandon OF Stewart county presented the name
Of Congressman Benton McMillin; Senator
whitaker nominated Senator Turley, the pres
emit incumbent. and Senator Parker nominated
Gov. Taylor. The first ballot resulted: Nc
Mlllin, 80; Turley, 80; Taylor, 10.
The McMillin men had claimed from 80. to 40
votes; the Turley men expected that their can
didate would be second TO Mr.. McMillin, nnd in
this they wore not disappointed. Tho Taylor
forces had claimed from 81 to 80. but,
as the result showed. they fell short
OF their expectations. Tho second ballot
WAS the Sn%H as the or first to, but S,, on
went to Turley;, On the fourth ballot b 80 votes g
for Taylor. Tho ifth and sixth ballots showed
no change, but, owing to tho absence of one Of
the. members. tho seventh and last ballot gave
McMillin 80. Turley 80, and Taylor 10.
The caucus then adjourned until tomorrow
night. The McMillin men seem to BIO satisfied
with the vote cast for their candidate, as only
six more votes were necessary to a nomination.
The Turley men beloved that thoy would be sec
ond In the race In the first few ballots and
they are very hopeful that tho next two or three
ballots will increase their strength. The Taylor
men expected more votes than were given their
candidate, but they think that when several
moro ballots are taken the result In their favor
Will justify their expectations.

THE SYRACUSE COUNCIL FIG HE
Two Rcpuburans Join with the Democratic ana
Elect n city Treasurer.


SYRACUSE. Jan. l9.-On the call of the Demo-
cratic members a special meeting OF the Com
mon Council was held this evening for tho
purpose OF e~lecting a City Treasurer and trans
acting other business" 1t had been gossiped
in political circles for several days that two Re-
publican Aldermen, Clarence +. Rice of tho
Sixth ward and Michael J. Kearney of the
Ninth, had determined to vote for Ebert +. Allen,
the Democratic candidate for City Treasurer. and
THAT nothing could stop them This proved
to be the case, for when the Council was called
to order Frank Matty, the fraudulently elected
President of the Council, announced that 1t
would be advisable to elect q temporary Chair
man, which was done. Matty then engineered
the business. No Republicans except Rice and
Kearney took any part in tho meeting, and at
the end OF the ballot 1t WAS announced that ten
votes, "A majority OF the board, had been cast. all
for Allen. who was declared elected for three
wears.
Sheriff Thornton has had in his hands since
Tuesday q batch OF sealed indictments. but as
yet has made no arrests of city officials. When
questioned regarding these indictments to-day
he shrugged his shoulders and made no answer.
Thornton WAS elected Sheriff by fusion bet ween
the Mckinley League and Democrats. The ac-
ton of Aldermen Rice and Kearney 1t Is feared
will not be without It's effect on President
Mack's litigation to Gust Matty. The latter has
not yet filed his answer in the quo warranto
proceedings. but says that II Is prepared, and Is
a most voluminous document.
