Frankfort, KY. March 16.-Gov.
ernor Taylor spent the entire day
at the executive mansion today in
conference with Republican lead
ers, chief among whom were John
W. Yerkes, of Danvillc, and d. w.
Lindsay OF this city. 1T is UNDER
stood that a memorial to President
Mckinley, asking him to intervene
and take a hand in the political
contests was the subject of this con.
terence, butas several OF those called
to the conference did not arrive
decision was not reached as to the
exact terms of the message that
would be sent to the President.
Governor Taylor refused tonight
to state the contents or the import

has expressed desire for the as
sistance OF small body of troops
and also for support in the way of
recognition Of him as governor.

TWINS FOR
THREE SISTERS

Morristown. N. J.. March 16. -
There is only one doctor in the
little village of Mendham, and to-
dav he feels he is the most over
worked man in the country.
He brought three pairs OF twins
into the world, and, remarkable as
it may seem, the happy mothers Of
the newly born babies are sisters.
The SIX little ones were born to the
three mothers within four hours.
Two pairs of the twins are boys.
The other pair are girls.
Whether it be the climate or
Mendham that brings such good
results to Mendham citizens depon-
ent saith not, but nevertheless the
Mendham villagers are carrying
their hands higher in the air than
usual to-day. For the population
has been increased and the census
enumerator has not been around
yet.
The experience of Mendham's
only medical practitioner last night
was somewhat similar to that oil
the old Scotch doctor that Ian Mac
Laren wrote about in one of his
short stories.
While he sat in his study, porting
over his books beside his night
lamp, a ring came at the door. II
was hurry call and he fastened
out into the stormy night
In the home of J. w. Garrabrandt
he assisted in ushering into the
world two stout-lunged boys, twins
born 10 Mrs. Garrabrandt. Hardly
had he finished congratula,ing the
proud father and the happy mother
than a messenger who went to his
Office, than to the Garrabrandt,
home, told, him he was wanted at
the home of Charles Freeman.
The doctor hastily packed up his
walls and instruments and hasten
ed to the Freeman household Mrs.
Freeman is sister to Mrs. Cara
brandt. Soon two more sturdy
youngsters, and boys. too, we're
trying their lungs for the first time
in world that was new to them.
Then the doctor, wcaried with
his having acted as principal fac-
totum at two twin births, FASTENED
home to seek rest. Hardly had his
bedroom shades been drawn than
there was another ring at his door
and the call of messenger who
stood shivering without.
True to his profession, Mend
hams lone physician torsook his
warm couch, donned his clothing
and again hurried out into the
night This time he Was summon
ed to the home of Frederick Guerin,
whose wife also is a sister of Mrs.
Garrabrandt and Mrs. Frcemcn.
When he left the Guerin house
hold for his bed again there were
two daughters there to cheer the
family Preside in DAYS TO come.
How the stork made mistake in
bearing girls instead of boys 10 the
last of the trio of sisters to give
birth to twins the doctor is unable
to explain. The fact stands, how
ever, that there are three pair of
twin cousins in Men'lhan. all born
on the same night and within four
hours of one other.
And now Mendham' 5 only doctor
is thinking seriously of getting an
assistant

FOR PUERTO
RICO RELIEF.
Senate Passes the Bill Az
ter Much Debate.
Kenny Wants River,
Improvement.

Washington, March 16-After a
debate, at times spirited, extending
over parts OF two days, the Senate
to-day passed the Puerto Rican re.
lief appropriation bill. AS passed,
the measure carries S2,005, 600, the
President being authorized to use
that sum 'for public education,
public works and other government
tai and public purposes in Puerto
Rico. Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, OIL
Tered an amendment to the bill. de-
claring that the constitution extends
over Puerto Rico by its own force,
but it was lost by the decisive vote
of So to II. Mr.. Jones, OF Arkan-
sas, withdrew a free trade amend
ment offered by him. and that pro-
position, therefore, did not reach Il
vote. Other efforts to amend the
bill were Ruthless.
An order wasmade by the Senate
as to consideration OF the case of
Former Senator Quay. 1t being
unanimously agreed that 1t should
be taken up two weeks from next
Tuesday. and discussed until dis
posed of, the discussion not to inter-
tere with the unfinished business;
the Spooner bill, authorizing the
President to govern the Philippines
until otherwise directed; the appro-
priatlon bills or conference reports.
A concurrent resolution offered
by Mr.. Kenney, of Delaware, di-
recting the Secretary of War TO
prepare a survey and estimate for
deepening and improving the Giles
pie river, in Delaware, was adopted.
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,, then
offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
THAT the Secretary of War be
directed to communicate to the SEN
ate a letter of Emilio Aguinaldo,
dated at Bacoor, July Is, 1898, adj
dressed to the American comm an
der, and forwarded to General Mer-
rift, July y, 1S9S.'
Washington, March 16-General
Joseph Wheeler arrived here to-day
and made a formal call at the War
Department and then went to the
White House to ask that his regis
nation be accepted, which will be
done at once. The President has
withheld the acceptance of General
Whcclers resignation out of kind
ness.to the general, as t.has enabled
him to come home from the Philip
pine Islands while in the Govern
ment service and to secure his pay
up to the present time.
The general intends to ask to be
sworn III as member of the House
at once. lie said he would present
himself on the floor at the bar OF the
House and ask to be sworn in. As
he understood the rules, the Speak
er would have no option, bat must
submit the question 10 the House.
General Wheeler was confident
the decision would be in his favor,
though he realized there might be
some delay, owing to reference OF
his case TO the Committee on Elec-
tons.
There is not much doubt about
General Wheeler being sworn in.
The Oh lection before was that he
was trying to hold two Offices at
once.
Speaking Of the Philippine Is
lands Cen Wheeler said:

cause believe the Filipino IN sur
