LOUISVILLE. Ky. NEW YORK. N. 4.

Bulla said that in his opinion a
grievous mistake had been made two
years ago when the resolution ap-
pointing the investigating COMMITTEES
was adopted. He thought the commit
tee had made a mistake in going into
matters as it had, but the error was
one of Judgment only He thought that
the State had made a bad bargain, and
was up against it,; but, having made
a bad bargain, it could do nothing else
but pay. He said he was not cham
pioning the cause of the COMMITTEES,
but he felt that the items of expense
were just and that, under the resoiu-
| ton, the committee had a perfect right
| to contract the debt.
| Stratton withdrew his amendment
and signified his intention to vote for
the resolution as reported.
| La Rue spoke to his amendment, and
Prisk read from the resolution appoint
ing the investigation committee, to
prove that said committee had un-
doubted right to employ experts and to
investigate along the lines of its re-
port.
Dwyer said he wanted to see the
architects paid, but thought the COM
mittee needed a reprinland for the
manner in which it had conducted its
investigation.
| Braunhart thought the investigating
committee had done wrong in securing
the services of an architect who was
anita agonistic to the plans of the ferry
depot
Boyce, a member of the committee,
also spoke, attacking Braunhart.
Doty suggested that all hands re-
strain their anger and consider the
matter coolly.
Langford said he voted for the reso-
Tuition two years ago, believing it would
be for the benefit of the State. He
still so believed, and should vote
against La Rue's amendment, and to
adopt the report.
The amendment was lost by vote
iof II to %.
The question being upon the adop-
ton of the report of the committee and
the payment of the bill, 1t was adopted
by a vote of % to 10.
| At II O'Clock the Senate was at re-
cess to attend the joint session in the

The conference of Republican MEM

met on Monday last in response to
call issued by General Dickinson, nm
ished it's labors yesterday afternoon,
and adjourned sine die.
There was a deal of talk at each Of
the three meetings of the conference,
but, as was to have been expected from
the call itself, little or nothing seems
to have been accomplished towards
breaking the Senatorial deadlock. The
eall was explicit in its statement that
no vote taken at the conference should
be binding, and under that construc-
tion, even the vote to adjourn might be
questioned.
The meeting held yesterday afternoon
1.-The last of the series, was exception
ally interesting. There being no pre-
liminaries to settle, little time was lost
in getting down to business.
Assemblyman Dibble was the first
speaker and he led off with no degree
of uncertainty about what he had to
say. He pointed out the Importance
of electing a Senator, and called atten-
ton to the fact that there are now
three majority candidates
Dibble said that he spoke for Col
onel D. M. Burns, and in his name. He
described Burns as a party man who
exacted no pledge. The latter, he said,

asked. 'I say in the name of Colonel
Burns that he is willing to go into eau
Gus, and after a reasonable number of
ballots have been taken he will with
draw if it be found that he cannot be
elected, and I will withdraw his name. "
Dibble was followed by Assemblyman
Clough, who stated that he voted as
his district instructed him, and that he
did not require any caucus to cover up
his acts.
Senators Davis and Simpson made
short addresses, after which Senator
Stratton moved to adjourn sine die.

The entire morning session OF tne

and Mileage, recommending the pay
ment of the bill of expense attaching
to the labors and report of the COIN
mittee appointed to investigate the
several State institutions, aggregatine

The opposition to the report of the
committee did not seem to center upor
any particular or specific point, but
was distributed around somewhat in
discriminatory.
Smith called attention to the fact
that among the institutions investi
gated was the San Francisco ferry de.
pot, which, according to his way OF
thinking, was unnecessary so far as the
services of expert architects were con-
cerned. The item for the payment ol
architects amounted to AGO, and he
doubted whether their services We're
of any value to the State
Dwyer, Stratton and Ashe also spoke
| to the question, and Simpson, one OF
the members of the investigating com
mittee, gave an explanation of the OBJ
jects of the investigation, and of tht
work it had performed. He said the
committee had gathered more accurate
data concerning State institutions thas
had ever any junketing committee.

SENATORIAL SITUATION.
Bul1a and Bard Out Of the Race
Barnes and Scott Gain.

Barnes and Scott Gain.
There was a change in the balloting
at yesterdays joint session of the Leg
islature, and as any change of any
kind would have been refreshing, mat
ters livened up a bit.
The change was a result of a caucus
of the Bulla men held yesterday morn
ing, at which Bulla again reiterated
his intention to withdraw from the
Senatorial race and cast his vote for
some other candidate. It was further
agreed that his followers should stand
together and vote for General w. fl.
L. Barnes-that is, all of his followers
except Cosper so agreed Cosper de-
cided to throw his vote to Scott, and
to Scott it accordingly went
In the meantime the Bard followers;
Senators Flint and Rowell and Assem-
blyman Greenwell, decided to let their
candidate go by the board and support
somebody else The two Senators de-
cided for Scott, while Greenwen con-
cluded to go back to Grant, whose
camp he left about a week ago.
| And it all came off as per schedule
News of what would occur was scat
| tered broadcast, and both lobby and
gallery were crowded as they had not
been since the early days of the ses-
sion.
Little time elapsed after the roll-call
opened before the change began Bui-
| las name was fifth on the list. Since
| the first Joint session he had sat IN ms
seat and declined, being an interested
party, to vote. But when his name was
called yesterday he voted for General
Barnes. and there was conslderaple
| though by no means uproarious ap-
| plause.
Senator Flint next changed from
Bard to Scott, and Gillette followed,
| from Bulla to Barnes. Rowell Went
over to Scott from Bard, and when
Taylor's name was reached his eight
year-old daughter raised her f1ute-lile
voice and trilled out: .'W. H. l..
Barnes" Taylor nodded his head at
| the Secretary, and the vote went,
and then the crowd raised on it's toes
and yelled-yelled for the childish voice
that had created an oasis in the
parched Sahara of the Senatorial con-
| f1ict
The changes were as follows:
! Bulla-First vote for Barnes.
| Gillette-Bulla to Barnes.
| Taylor-Bulla to Barnes.
| Belshaw-Bu1la to Barnes.
| Boynton-Bulla to Barnes
| Conrey-Bulla to Barnes.
Melick-Bulla to Barnes.
| Miller of Los Angeles-Bulla 70
Barnes.
| Robinson-Bulla to Barnes.
Valentine-Bulla to Barnes.
Flint-Bard to Scott.
Rowell-Bard to Scott.
| Cosper-Bulla to Scott
| Greenwell-Bard to Grant.
| Two ballots We're taken, but. no fur-
ther changes being chalked up on the
second effort, a motion to adjourn un-
| til noon to-day met with no opposition
Muenter and Anderson, Barnes men,
were absent, and La Baree, who has
voted with Bulla was also absent.
These votes would have swelled Barnes
| total to twenty-three votes.

| remains unbroken, and what, if any
thing. will come of the shifting OF votes
the future will tell.

Salaries of Presidents.

Very few persons would suspect
how small the salaries Of presidents Of
republics are, when the enormous
sums crowned heads receive are taken
into consideration. The foreigner
often thinks the $4,000 salary of the
president of the United States is mere
ly joke, and that he receives ten
times as much in reality. but the same
foreigner may not know that the
French president, in a country where
the wealthiest monarchs once reisned,
receives only 100000 a year The
president of the little Andora republic
contents himself with a salary Of SIS
a year. and the president Of the Swiss
republic must be satisfied with 5000.
