his board in consequence Of this
opinion directed tbs board of

the quarantine aod isolation. and
continue vaccination, inasmuch as

 creant to His Trust.

Louisville, Jan. N.-A special from Frankfort says: After hot debate this morning the lower house of the Kentucky legislature adopted substitute resolution offered by Representative Nelson, of Hard ing, for the one previously introduced, call ing upon United States Senator William Lindsay to resign if he cannot support the Chicago platform.
 During the debate such words party traitor" ''recreanb to his trust" and "gold buzz were freely bandfed about. Representative Desha, a silver democrat from Harrison county, openly denounced Senator Lindsay as a traitor ito his party and called upon him to return home and face an outraged constituency.
 Others who made speeches along this line were Representatives Trimb,e, Nelson, Petty, Orr and Hickman. The resolution was adopted by a viva voce vote but on motion of Representative Pullam was re- considered in order that the original resolu- tion introduced by Representative Saun- ders, of Union, some time since be passed.
 The Saunders resolution was then taken up and passed by a vote of 55 to 35

MORGAN CALLS ON DOLE Hawaiian President Would Not
 Discuss Annexation. RATIFICATION OF TREATY Favore d by Him and He Will Give Mckinley All Needed Information Mrs. Dole
 Pays Visits to Mrs. Mckinley.

Washington Jan. N.-Bright, springlike weather greeted Hawaii's ruler on his first morning at the capital. President and Mrs. Dole and the members of their party had retired early last night ana were up att 8 o'clock, the chief executive and his wife taking their breakfast in their rooms.
 The president was kept very busy during tho forenoon receiving callers. Minister Hatch was early on hand and was followed by Ex-Minister Thurston, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who paid an extended visit to the islands during the last summer and MT. Crosby Moves, of Washington. In an interview with an Associated Press report CT, President Dole said:
 "I prefer not to discuss the question of annexation, as that would ba eminently inappropriate at this time, during the pen dency of the question in the senate. shall call on the president during my stay here and of course, shall give him such informa- tion as he may desiIe respecting pending questions between the two countries. expect to stay In Washington until the end of next week when our trip homeward will begin. We shall go from here direct to San Francisco taking the steamer there for Honolulu. certainly shall like to see the annex a,tion treaty ratified by the senate befone we leave, but we will not walt if such is not the case"
 President and Mrs. Dole have received many invitations to sociRl functions during their stay here. This morning Mrs. Dole went to call on a number of friends in company with Mrs. Hatch, the wife of the Hawaiian minister here. This afternoon Major Heistand, of the army will occon- pany Mrs. Dole in a social call on Mrs. Mckinley. Tonight the entdre Hawaiian party probably wiM occupy box at one of the theaters
 The democratic simplicity of President Doe's entry into Washington has contin- ued in his private life at his hotel, and he accepts with hearty good will invitations of various sorts.
 After spending all day in his room att tending to correspondence, he went out for the first time to visit the theater at night. The entire party occupied boxes at the Lafayette Square to witness Hoyt's "A Stranger In New York"
 Two most important visitors of the day at the presidents apartments were Rep resentative Hit and Senator Cushman K. Davis, chairlnen, respectively of the house and senate foreign relations committee. At their request President Dole talked freely of the material and political condi- tiops ill the islands.

McMli.LEN IN THE LEAD.
Tennessee Legislature Still Balloting for a
 Senator.

cratic senatorial caucus met again tonight and again failed to make nomination for United States senator. Twelve ballots were taken, the last and 114th standing:
 McMillin. 35; Taylor %; Hurley, 26. The only change during the evening was one vote from Hurley to Taylor. The indica- tions for breaking the deadlock and mak- ing nomination are less favorable tonight than at any time since the balloting be- gan, and there were no signs of a break sufficient to nominate any one of the cam didates. There is no talk yet of a dark horse.

IN TIE SENATE.

IN THE SENATEs
 Washington, Jan 27-After transacting some minor business the Teller resolution was laid before the senate, and after con- siderable discussion, it was agreed that the vote should be taken at o'clock to- morrow afternoon, the last four hours Of debate to be under the fifteen minute rule After this agreement had been reached MT. Daniel resumed his speech began last evening. He made a legal argument in support of the pending resolution, hold ing that the law never contemplated giving to the governments creditor the option as to the kind of money he was to be paid MT. Lodge followed MT. Daniel. He said he had always been an international bi- metallist and was one now. He had done everything in his power to promote an in- ternational agreement, as he believed that would do much to simplify the question. He was constrained to believe, however after hearing the eloquent statement of the senator from Colorado (WolcotD that the attempt to secure international bi- metallic agreement had failed, temporarily at least. He held, therefore, that the country was confronted with two propo- sitions, one of which it would have to ac-  must be maintained or the country must authorize free silver coinage. The latter alternative means, he said, the disappear ance of gold from circulation and the placing of the country upon silver pasis It has come now to a contest between the two standards. MT. Lodge declared that any change in the monetary standard would fall with dire results upon the masses of the people. The adoption of the resolution and the enforcement or US provisions, he thought, would be policy fraught with great danger to the country and to the people,.
 Had Set speech
 Mir Lindsay, of Kentucky followed an a set speech in support of the resolution lie declared himself in favor of having all money of the United States, whether coan or paper, kept equal to the best money or the world and he thought it unfortunate that the advocates of sound money should
