WILL ASK A TEST VOTE
Quay's Friends in senate VIII seek
Immediate COnsideratfon ON
Presentation OF Report.


NEW YORK, Jan. "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: An oppor-
tunity is to be offered to test the full
strength of former Senator Quay In the
senate, without direct vote on the ques-
tion OF seating him.
This will come some time next week.
when the committee on privileges and alec
tions reports his case back to the senate.
There will be two reports, one signed BY
Senators Burrowss Caffery, Pettus. Turiey
and Harris, against seating Senator Quay.
and another signed by Senators Chandler.
Hoar. Pritchard AMI Spooner in his favor
When these reports are submitted a mo-
tion will be made by Senator Chandler to
proceed to the immediate consideration Of
the case. The question Of the rights Of a
senator being one Of highest privilege. It
is competent for ar. Quay's friends to in
sist upon immediate consideration. They
are anxious to have test made of his full
strength. and 1t is believed the result can
be accomplished by vote on this ques-
ton.
Should a majority prefer to continue
with the currency bill, II is not improbable
that Senator Quay may conclude to have
his appointment withdrawn.

and he asked that the clark at least be
required to shake the box throughly SO
as to mix the names a. contemplated BY
the law.
would Not Let me Boz ne Inspeotea.
Speaker Trimble invited Haswell or any
other Republican member to shake the
box, but he declined to do this. saying
this was the duty OF the clerk. Mr.
Berry, Republican, asked the speaker to
allow members to inspect the box in or
der to verify the charges made by him
ana Haswell. mentioning the alleged man
ner In which the names had been placed
in the box, but Mr.. Cantrill. Democrat,
said the charges made by Haswell and
Berry were serious, and that as long as
they had waited till the drawing was
practically complete he thought they
should be compelled to Me them In tho
proper way and not merely verbally and
personally, as they were doing.
Sneaker Trimble finally ordered the box
thoroughly shaken and this was done with
the result that six Democratic and two
Republican names were drawn out
Col. Whallen Indicted.
II Is unoficially announced that the
Franklin county grand jury has found In
dictments against Col. John II. Whallen
and Charles Ryan, who. It is alleged. att
tempted to bribe Senator Harrell IN the
governorship contest. The indictments are
based on conspiracy and viii be similar to
those returned against w. G. Gunter, John
H. Whallen, E. T. Franks and others In
the Hunter alleged bribery cases, growing
out of the Hunter Blackburn senatorial
contest in 1897 The safety deposit box
which Harrell designated as holding the
money was turned over to the grand jury
today and found to contain four $1,000 LNls
and five 500 bills. The money was sealed
up in a plain white envelope without writ
ing. This In part corroborates Harrelrs
story.
Senatorial Ballot Tuesday.
The Democratic leaders in the legislature
decided tonight to take the ballot for Unit
ed States senator next Tuesday. Al 1t
seems settled in advance that Blackburn
win receive a majority in each house.
Joint ballot will probably not be necessary.
There is a question as to whether the bal
lot should be taken next Tuesday or Tues
day a week. Blackburn's friends decided,
az a matter Of caution, to have ballot on
both days, SO there may be no qufbble over
the legality Of this election. It has been
understood all along that ballot would
not be taken until one week from next
Tuesday.

FRANKFORT, KY. Jan. 4-The Joint
legislative committees which cit In the
contest for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor. were drawn by lot as provided by
law, today. A lucky star presided over
the destinies Of the Democrats. as the
drawing resulted in giving them ten out
of the eleven members of the committee
on the governors contest, and nine out Of
eleven on the lieutenant governors contest.
The committee to hear the governorship
contest is as follows: Senators Frazier,
Allen and Gresham and Representatives
Hickman Berry. Finn, Rennick. Sledge.
Lyon and BARTON, all Democrats. and
Yarberry, Republican.
In the lieutenant governor contest the
names drawn were: Senators Harrell.
Coleman and watson and Representatives
Crawford, Alexander, Baird, Bell. Holland
and Sharp. Democrats, and Representa-
tives Reed and Lilly. Republicans. The
house members of these two committees
were sworn in tonight. and 1t is probable
that the joint committees will organize
and get down to work taking evidence to-
morrow.
A More Even Break.
In the drawing over the formation Of
the legislative contested election COM
mittees the result was somewhat more
evenly divided In the case of the two
senatorial contests the Republicans got
only one member out OF nine on each COM
mittee, hut in the house they got majorities
IN ten out OF the eighteen committees
in which there are contests.
object to Goebers Name.
The senate completed it's drawing at the
morning session. and the orfiy incident con-
nected with it was when Senator Howard.
Republican, objected to Senator Goebel's
name being placed in the box. Goebel
rose from his seat and said:
under the law the names Of all senators
present must be placed in the box. but
beg to assure the senator that II my name
should be drawn out. I. Of course. will

Republicans Charge Fraud.
The house was occupied till late in the
evening with the drawing Of the legisla-
tive committees, and there was nothing
noteworthy in the proceedings until after
the governorship committee had been
announced and just before the drawing
for the committee on lieutenant gov
ernor's contest. Representative Has

box, systematically thrown the names OF
