Railroad LeEislntion.-One of the
most ubiquitous and conspicuous figures
around the House wing OF the Capitol
yesterday WAS that of Col John H. Car
roll. of Missouri. Colonel Carroll is the
chief lobbyist of the Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy Railroad. one of the biggest
systems In the West. He looks after the
legislative interests of hat corporation at
three or four Western State capitals. prin-
cipally jefferson City and Des MOines.
and was quietly congratulated yesterday
by everybody who knew him for having
secured the reelection of Senator Gear
of Iowa Colonel Carroll refers with great
affection to nearly every member OF the
Missouri and Iowa delegations young
man." and was particularly active among
these delegations in the House corridors
yesterday. II is said that within few
days he will be Joined by the lobbyists of
other railroads. the intention being 10 get
legislation at this session to further post
pone the enforcement of the law compell
ing the railroads to adopt a uniform sys-
TEN of automatic car couplers. After
postponing II a number of times, the inter-
state Commerce Commission finally set
the limit at January l, 1900. As that date
approached the roads were not ready to
observe the law and begged the Commits
sion for more grace. The Commission
granted six months more, and has plainly
intimated that on Iune 80 the Law will be
enforced and its penalties applied. For
this reason the railroads, 1t is said. are
preparing Ia appeal to Congress for relief,
and 1t is stated that Colonel Carroll is
the advance guard OF the army of lobbyists
who are coming here to look after the
matter The Republicans in the House
are already beginning to feel uneasy. IL
they go against the railroads several of
them fear the roads Will beat them for
reelection. and il they vote for the roads
a greater number OF them from the West
fear that their constituents viii retire
them. Consequently the policy will be, 1t
is thought, TO keep the matter as quiet
as possible so as not TO stir up an agita-
ton that Will extend from Washington to
the districts OF tlmid members

KcntncLy Rcpubiican-.-Tbe :

heutncLy HcpHblfcnn>.-The Repub-
licans OF Kentucky are beginning to move
along the lines marked out for them by
the Hon. John W. 'YcrlSes, the Kentucky
member OF the Republican National Com
mittec. who. 1t now seems probable laid
the matter, before the party managers at
the recent meeting of the committee In
this city. At that time The Times stated
that Mr.. Ysrkes had CARRIED the Kentucky
dispute into the secret councils OF the Re
publican managers. but the statement was
denied by everybody concerned except Mr.
Yerkes. 1t is evident however. that the
Republicans at Frankfort are now pro-
ceeding under the advice OF their sympa
thizer at Washington. and that the De-
nocracy is threatened with a much graver
danger than is Involved in the contest now
going in the Bluegrass Legislature.
Plans are being laid to bring the contest
before the Federal courts and ultimately
the Supreme Court at Washington. The
litigation would be strung out over a yeas
or more. Meantime the whole dispute
wl<ch really centres in the Goebel law.
will be laid before the nation. The pur-
pose of this ralbably would be TO pave she
way for the House Republicans. who are
TO count the electoral vote next spring,
to either throw out the Kentucky vote. i;
it is adverse to Mr.. Mckinley, or to re-
verse the verdict on the face of the re-
turns and give Kentucky's thirteen votes to
their candidate in the event that the
Presidential contest is close enough to
make that course necessary to Mr.. Nc
KiBley's success. This authority is vested
in the House by the Tucker act OF 1851
and that that law will be invoked by the
Republicans for the first time If the con-
ditions demand it. Democrats OF sound
judgment and clear vision are now begin
ming TO fear.

New York, July S0.-EX- United States
Senator Clark. the multi-millionaire
mine owner of Montana. before he sail
ed for Europe Saturday on the Lucania
gave 100000 to the Bryan campaign
fund.
Besides giving his check for 100000
Mr.. Clark has agreed to furnish all the
democratic, campaign money required in.
the state of Montana. His friends say
he will spend at least s500.000 rather
than see the electoral vote of Montana
cast for Mckinley.
As various rumors had credited Mr..
Clark with donating a large sum Of
money to aid in the election of Mr.. Bry
an. he was asked previous to his board
ing the steamer if the reports We're
true.
Il have subscribed to the fund that is
being raised BY the democratic national
committee" replied Mr.. Clark.
Have you any objections to stating
the amount??" he was asked.
II signed a good-sized check, and
guess the amount was satisfactory to
the committee" replied the ex-senator.
Was it $l0O,0OO?'
Mr. Clark thought for a second or two
before he answered Yes" As he was
about to walk up the gangplank he
turned to his interrogation and said: II
contributed to the democratic campaign
fund because think the election of
Bryan and Stevenson would be great
benefit to the country. The campaign
committee will need funds for printing
and circulating literature"
!. Senator Jones. chairman OF the demo-
cratic national committee. would not
admit or deny that he had received q
check for 100000 from Mr.. Clark.
