BOTH MEET AT FRANKFORT.
Republican and Democratic LeEis-
lntors Hold Sessions ut the
State Capitol.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20.-The dem
ocrats had a session of the senate at
nine o'clock, with President Pro Tenn.
Carter presiding, and adjourned
to meet again at 10:30. The re-
publicans adjourned Saturday to
meet at IL o'clock, and the DEM
ocrats adopted this move to get
possession of the chamber first. The
senate convened at 1O:30, both Carter
and Marshall presiding. The repub-
licans, recognizing Marshall, ad-
journed after prayer, and led by Lieut..
Gov. Marshall the republican senator's
left the hall. The democratic sena-
tors, recognized President Pro Tenn.
Carter, paid no attention to the repub-
lican proceedings, and continued in
session.
The house convened at noon, Speak
er Trimble presiding. The journal of
the democratic legislature sitting at
Louisville Saturday was read. Mr..
Hickman (dem.) demanded roll call,
to ascertain the presence of a quorum.
The republicans did not answer to
their names. and only SO of the 60
democrats were present.
The impression that the contest
over the governorship will not be end
ed till it is fought to a finish in the
courts is not lessened by the action
taken by the democratic senators in
their session Monday ratifying their
former action by whicn Senator Goe-
bel was declared governor. The repub-
lican who spoke for Gov. Taylor says
that he will not recognize as legal the
proceedings taken Monday, and which
it is anticipated will be duplicated in
the house to-day, but looks upon
these proceedings as illegal, and will
not quit the fight until the whole
matter is passed on in the courts of
last resort. His position is that the
former proceedings being void, the
ratification Monday gives them no
legal vitality, that the legal presid-
ing officer, Lieut.. Gov. Marshall, had
declared the session adjourned when
the vote in question was taken; that
the vote should have been taken by
cas- and nays, as in the case of a bill
| or joint resolution.

FIGHT FOR EXPANSION.
Porto Ricnn Debate In Congress This
Week Is Regarded ms of Sig
nificancc.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Both sides
accept the debate on the Porto Rican
government bill in the house this
week as the beginning of great bat
tie to determine the right and power
of the United States to maintain
colonies. Administration leaders eX-
plain that the insistence upon Porto
Rican tariffs is due, not to any fear
of the competition of that small is
land, but to the fact that if Porto
Rico were admitted to be part of
the nation, entitled to share it's con-
stitutional guarantees, the same priv
ilege, or right, must be accorded to
the Philippines. 1t is represented that
the president, with the majority of
the leaders of his party, holds that all
the newly-acquired islands are the
property of the United States, and
that congress has undoubted power to
legislate for them. The democratic
attitude is that if Porto Rico is to re-
main an American possession it must
be as an integral part of the United
States, and in such case the tariff
duties for the island must be exactly
the same as those governing this
country. Decisions of the supreme
court are quoted by each side in sup
port of these conflicting contentious.
