The Situation in Kentucky.

Frankfort. KY, Feb. 13.-For q
while last night it looked as if war
might break out. Two unknown men
lurking in the alley opposite the exc
cutive building fred three shots at the
guards. Two of the bullets barely mis-
sed the targets. The guards opened
FIRE as the attackers ran through the
alley, dischsrging seven shots. none of
which are known to have taken effect.
Officers in charge complain bitterly
about the occasional firing on the sold
ers from the outside as they say the
men can help it, being simply under
orders from superiors in rank.
Taylor went to the mansion last

The Senate select committee on wo.
mao suffrage, of which Mr.. Daniel. OF
Virginia, is chairman, gave hearing
in the marble room this morning to the
delegates attending the national woman
suffrage convention. The attendance
was SO large that the room bee me al
most suffocating before the meeting wa
over. On behalf OF the supplicants for
the right to vote Miss Susan b. An
thony directed the proceedings. There
was too much whispering to suit her
and several times she reprimanded the
meddlers, declaring that they did not
belong to her association. Nine OF the
s'auti.woman suffraeists" were present,
having been specially invited by Miss
Anthony, who provided them with front
seats. They did not speak, however,
merely being there to let the audience
know they were against the movement.
Papers were read by the following, and
each told in glowing language OF the
success of woman suffrage in the States
In which it had been tried: Mrs. Clara
Colby, of Washington; Mrs. Every. OF
the same city, who read the views OF
Mrs. Johns, OF Kansas; Mrs Mary G. G.
Bradford, of Denver, Col; Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, and Mrs. Blatch, OF
New York. Miss Anthony spoke also,
and regretted that Mrs. Haskell, who
had been twice mayor of Gaylord, Kan
,sas, could not be present to assist the
cause. She said Mrs.. Haskell during
her administrations had city COUNCILS

QUININE. The price Of quinine
which is by far one of the most i'm.

the last few days been rising iu leaps

The price in large Wholesale lots has
advanced recently FROM twenty cents
an ounce to forty cents, the figure al
which it was quoted last week. While
the price was very firm at forty cents
the quantity on the market is' limited,
and none of the manufacturers is anx.

this article of medicine increase within
the next ten days, the price will likely

Mr.. Stewart announced he would
speak Friday next on the Philippine
question.
A bill for the enlargement of the
public building at Portland, Ore, was
passed, the cost to be limited to $780,
900.
Also the following bills:
Relating to lights on stesm pilot ves-
sells, the measure, which was intro
duced by Mr.. Hanna, having also pass
ed the House.
Authorizing the establishment of a
fish station in Beaufort HarbOr, North

ported favOrably q resolution authoriz.
ing the President to appoint David
Bagley, of North Carolina. an addition.
al cadet to the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md.
At the conclusion Of routine morning
business, the financial bill was called
up, and Mr.. Allison took the floor. 10
opening he complimented highly the
speeches of Senators Aldrich and VOL.
colt on the leading provisions of the
measure. He reviewed the efforts for
Il q in. M
perfecting the currency of the country.
When the Mckinley administration
came into power no bill could be passed
because the Senate WAS then so c0nsti.
tuted that an amendment would have
been offered and passed providing for
the free and Unlimited coinage OF silver
at the ratio Of 16 TO /. The Senate he
said changed the House bill materially
because it dealt with currency for the
present and did not look far enough
into the future. He insisted there
should be q comprehensive monetary
| system which would retire greenbacks
and treasury notes. Continuing his re
marks, Mr.. Allison denied that the unit
OF value was an important factor in the
currency system. The measure OF
value was the thing.
Messrs. Allen and Tillmsn put many
questions to Mr.. Allison, which the lat
ter attempted TO answer.
When Mr.. Allison concluded Mr..
Jones, of Nevada, was recognized for q
speech on the same bill.

Notes From the Paris Exposition
"The Singer Manufacturing Company
of I4o Broadway. New York. show theil
usual American enterprise by having 8
very creditable exhibit located in Group
KILL, Glass 70, at the Paris lnternatona
Exposition, where they show to great
advantage the celebrated Singer Sewing
Machine which is used in every country
on the globe, both for family use and fol
manufacturing purposes. The writer
was highly pleased with this display ane
observed with much satisfaction that i
was favorably commented upon by visi,
tors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded BY the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de.
sign, construction, efficiency and for re-
markabe development and adoption to
every stitching process used in either the
family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of the
International Jury at the Worlds Col.
umbian Exposition, in Ch cago, where
Singer Machines received fiIty-four dis
tinct awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any of oul
r-aders are unfamiliar with the celebrated
Singer Machine, we would respectfully
advise that they call at any of the Singer
salesfooms, which can be found in al
cities and most towns in the United
States"
