Bad Smallpox Epidemic in Kentucky.

A despatch from Frankfort, Ky, says:
Gov. Bradley received a message from
Middlesboro Tuesday, stating there were 20
new cases of smallpox and 400 suspects
there; that the city is quarantined; has no
money, the county can appropriate none,
and that the citys stricken people are
liable to starve. He at once prepared an
emergency special message to the legisla-
ture, which was in session for the last day,
urging an appropriation and intimating
that he would sign a rushed-through bill
without questioning the irregularity of
putting such measure through in one day.

No Petitions for smith DnvIs's Pardon.

The report that petitions were being cir
culsted in Lincoln, Bristol, Montgomery
and Middlebury, asking that Gov. Grout
pardon Smith g. Davis, convicted on the
fourth count in connection with the death
of Dora +. Cushman, is without founda.
ton.
Felix W. McGettrick of ST. Adams, who
defended Davis, has not been in Lincoln or
Bristol since the jury returned the verdict,
nor has he publicly intimated that he
would ask the governor to pardon Davis
A correspondent of the Boston Globe
saw Robert A. Perkins Of the Rutland
Herald Sunday evening and he said:
"Of course, in my opinion, Davis used
an instrument and only legal technicalities
let him out. He was lucky to get a short
sentence, but he deserves a much longer
sentence. This talk about a pardon is all
rot every man that has a daughter wants
to see Davis and all men like him suffer as
he, Davis, most certainly deserves to suf-
fer Talk about pardon is an insult to
Judge Start, an insult to the substantial ?
men who composed the jury aud an insult
to the decent women of the little, but
grand state of Vermont"

Sudden Death of Mrs. ThurstOn

wife OF the United States Senator of
NebraskR---Was with Her Husband
In CubR---Member OF the Noted Poland
Family of Vermont.
The death of Mrs Thurston, wife of the
United States Senator from Nebraska
took place Monday on the yacht Anita at
Sagua la Grande, Cuba, probably from
apoplexy. Senator and Mrs Thurston
were members of a Congr essional party to
Cuba, which included Senator and Mrs
Gallinger of New Hampshire, Senator
Money of Mississippi, and two or three
representatives and their wives. Mrs.
Gallinger, who suffered seriously from sea
sickness, left the yacht at Charleston. Mrs
Thurston had been in excellent health up
to that time, but she coniided TO Mrs
Gallinger a strange presentment saying
that she had written to her son in regard
to certain wishes to be carried out in case
OF accident and saying that she did not ex
pect to return alive Mrs. Thurston was
the daughter of Col Luther Poland of
Omaha, formerly of Vermont, and niece
of Luke ?. Poland the well-known Yer
mont statesman. Senator Thurston, also
Nermonter, was a struggling lawyer in
Omaha in 1872 when he married Miss
Poland. Six children were born to them
Three are living, son who is at Harvard,
and two daughters.

In Silencing the Santiago Defenses Sur
missed by Omcers of the Navy Depart
ment
Washington, d. c., June 8.-Naval
officers to-day expressed the belief that
all of the force landed Monday from
SIMPSONS fleet, were marines, and that
their purpose was not so much to take
military possession of the landing as
perhaps to spike some guns and de-
stroy some batteries that might have
been reoccupiel by the Spaniards to adj
vantage after the retirement of the
American fleet from the action. One
object of Admiral Simpsons attack
which has escaped general observation
though exceedingly important, was
pointed out at the Navy Department
This was to prevent the Spaniards from
making a successful attempt to re-
move the obstruction Of the channel
caused by the wrecsk of the Merrimac
Having silenced the forts at the en-
trance of the harbor, which while
effective obliged the American fleet to
lie many miles out at sea to keep out
of range of their guns. Sampson will
now be able to place one or more of
his ships close tothe mouth of the bot
tie where it will lie in comparative
safety and yet be able to command
easily with its guns the wreck of She
Merrimac.

HOUSE AND SENATE.

Hawaiian Incidents in the House-Sen-
ate Passed the Census Bill.
Washington, D. c.. June S.-The
House to-day disposed of the Senate
amendments of the sundry civil bill
and agreed to further conference. The
conference reporte upon the postoffice
appropriation bill was adopted without
debate, and the House proceeded to
consider the bill to provide for partici-
patton of volunteer soldiers in congress
sional elections. Adjournment was
taken pending disposal and it will
come up tomorrow.
The session began and ended to-day
with Hawaiian incidents, Mr.. Gros-
venor (Rep., Ohio. a leader of the an
nexationists, figuring in each instance.
They grew out Of the anxiety of those
who want early consideration, lest the
opposition win a victory and unduly
delay, If not defeat the resolutions at
this session.
A bill providing for the taking Of the
twelfth census was passed by the Senate
to-day after a debate which occupied the
greater part of three days. Several weeks
ago census bill was presented by the
committee having the matter in charge,
but the measure was so unsatisfactory
that it was recommitted to the committee
The bill passed to-day was introduced in
lieu of that which was recommtted and
was slightly amended. receiving the unan-
imous support of the Senate. Under it, if
it should become a law. director of the
census. an assistant director and five ex-
pert statisticians will be appointed i'm
mediately TO make the preliminary ar
rangements for the taking OF the census
of 1900 A determined effort was made to
provide that the employees OF the census
bureau should be examined and certified
by the civil service commission but IL
failed by vote of IS to 81. A provision
was inserted that not more than two
thirds of the supervisors and enumera-
tors should belong - enc political party.

What the whole army is now praying
for is a hard doWnpour of rain Tia
dust is increasing daily and unless rain
soon abates it, it will become an almgg
unbearable nuisance. Thousands Of
horses and wagons constantly moving
along the park roads and the long dry
spells have combined to make this
nuisance the worst and, in fact. the
only considerable one with which the
army has to contend.
A movement is now on foot to have
President Mckinley and such of hS
Cabinet officers as can accompany him
inspect the army on the Fourth
of July. A formal invitation will be
extended, and the President will be
urged to accept. If the invitation is
accepted the President and his party
will be deliberately entertained by tn,
city and in the park.
The Letter hospital will probably b.
opened tomorrow. All the most sert
GUS cases will at once be transferred d
it. The place is ideal.
A number of new wells are hein2
drilled in various portions OF the park
The supply of drinking water is now
ample.
Gen. Brooke has issued an order for
bidding hucksters and peddlers gong

VIZCAYA AND Juror
Both Damaged by American Shells in the
Battle of Santiago.

Both Damaged by American Shells in the
Battle Of Santiago.
London, June 9.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
1T is reported that during the en-
gagement at Santiago two shells struck
the Vizcaya and one the destroyer
Juror Admiral Cervera praises the
splendid behavior Of the marine brigade
that served the guns of the Castillo de
la Cocapa battery under a terrible fire
for several hours.
"The papers are doing their utmost
to dispel the unfavorable impression
made by the news from Santiago and
they recommend the authorities to give
more details and not to keep silent on
the facts, which afterward would leak
out through foreign or private advlces.
Press dispatches say that the Reina
Mercedes suffered most from the shell
fire which mortally wounded her COM
mander, Captain Acosta. The total
number of casualties on the ship was
thlrty-nine, the captain, five seamen
and twenty-one marines killed, and a
lieutenant and eleven men wounded.
Most of the Hontoria and Krupp guns
had before the action been placed in the
SOcapa battery"

Prospects Good for the Conferees Roach
Ing an Agreement To- Day.
Washington, June Sunless care
fully arranged plans fail of realization
the conferees of the two houses of Con-
gress on the war revenue bill will make
their report to the Senate tomorrow
soon after the beginning Of the days
session.
When to-day's meeting of the con-
ferees came to a close practically all
had been adjusted except those on the
tobacco schedule and the coinage OF the
silver seigniorage.
The settlement SO far obtained is a
substantial victory for the Senate
Practically all of the Senate amend
ments in phraseology and penalties
have been retained, as have also large
majority of the Senate's more material
changes Among the most important
of these which the report will show
have been agreed to by the eonferees
are those providing for a tax on INNER
itances, for duty on tea and for taxes
on sleeping and palace cars, petroleum
and sugar refining, on mixed flour, and
on bankers, brokers, theatres, circuses,
etc.
The Senate bond provision has been
modified SO as to constitute d compro-
mise with the House. The most ma
terial alteration made in this amend
ment is the one fixing the amount Of
bonds at $500, 600, 900 instead Of $780,
600 0C0, as agreed upon by the Senate
and $500 ,00O as proposed by the
House
