Frankfort. Ky, February n.-Ali day long troops have poured out of Frankfort on special trains, and tonight only the sol- diers from Covington, Newport Lexington and Morgantown are camped in the capitol square. The leaving of the troops was the only feature that transpired in the po- 1itical situation in Frankfort today.
 Governor Taylor remained quietly in the executive mansion and did not visit his of flee, gving himself day of rest, of which he stood greatly in need.
 Adjutant-General Collier said this even ing that only few companies of infantry would be kept duty here for a short time, to do police work around the capitol square and guard the public building. They would, he said interfere in no way with the actions of the members of the legdsla- ture, access to the legislative malls would be as free and unrestrafned as it was before Governor Taylor issued the proclamation declaring Frankfort in state of insurrec- tdon.
 The members of the republican legislature were expected ito arrive from London late this evening, but word was brought that ; they had spent the day in an excursion to Cumberland Gap and would not for the most part, arrive until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. About six of the republicans came in on the might train from London.
 No official information has been received here ito wlhe ther CT not the democratic members of the legislature would adjourn t1heir session at Louisville and come to Frankfort to take part in the general ses- sion. It is believed here, however that they will do so, probably by the latter part of .lhe week.

General Bravo Making Progress

Austin, Tex. February n.-A dispatch from Oaxaca, Mex, says that General Bravo is making good progress in his cam paign against the Maya Indians in Yuca- tan. Several engagements between the government troops and the Indians have taken place during the last two weeks and the Maya losses are reported to have been heavy. The Mosquito fleet of gunboats, which was sent up the Balize and Hondo rivers has been of little use, owing to the fact that the Indians have kept some dis tance from shore.
 It is claimed that the Indians have re- ceived valuable assistance from British residents.

exceeding ten minutes in duration on the various mendments to the bill. The most important of these amendments is that of fered by the democrats through Senator Jones. of Arkansas, for the free coinage of silver on terms of equality with gold. Fol lowing this, numerous other changes VIII be suggested, but 1t is quite well under stood that all of them will be voted down unless proposed by the committee on finance with which the bill originated. The demo- crats count upon getting all the democratic, populistic and silver republican votes, ex- those of Senators Caffery and Lindsey, gold democrats. for their free coinage amendment, but they will still fall far short of the necessary number. No one doubts the passage of the bill by large majority on the final vote. Senator Aldrich says he counts upon a majority of 20 or 22 votes. The opposition don't concede so many, but admit that the total against them is formid- able.
 The Quay Case
 The friends of Senator Quay say they fully expect to be able 70 get consldera- tdon of the resolution in ads behalf inn mediately after the financial bill is disposed of. but there is unquestionably a dasposi- tion on the part of some republican sena- tors to crowd the matter over. and take either the Porto Rican or the Hawaiian bill the chances between these being Ia yorable to the Porto Rtcan measure. The indications are that the Nicaragua bill will be postponed until after the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty is acted upon by the commts- tee on foreign relations, though Senator Morgan says he will ask for the consid- eration of the bill at the earliest oppor- tunity.

SHERMAN TUNNEL.
Some Alleged Details of the Proposed
Project.

The Cheyenne correspondent of the
Denver News is still talking of the
construction of the proposed Sherman
hill tunnel. This is what he has to
say in this mornings paper:
In conversation with one of the In
ion Pacific construction engineers, it is
learned that the great tunnel project
at Sherman hill will be pushed with
energy and in order to make room for
a large force of men and ave time, the
rock work will be begun at twelve diff
ferent places along the survey.
The construction will be carried on
by the shaft method instead of the US
ual tunneling system. Twelve shafts
will be sunk and when the bed Of the
tunnel is reached drifts will be I'll on
that level in each direction until the
different gangs meet, In this way
about 20 per cent will be gained in
time over the old tunneling method
and the shafts will also serve as ven
tilators. 1t is the intention of the con-
tractors to begin the work as soon as
they can assemble the men and neces-
sary mining equipment. 1t is simply a
scientific mining enterprise on a large
scale requiring skilled miners and e
pert mining engineers.

order any number Of figures read tc
him up to twenty and car correctly
multiply any two amounts, each o n

A IN DAYTON.
Manufacturing District Burned and
Several Persons Injured.

Dayton, O., Feb. Fire broke out
in the manufacturing district Of this
city at 7:4O o'clock this morning. The
fire department vas called to the to-
bacco warehouse of ]. P. Wolf on east
First street. The fire had started in
the boiler-room, caused by an over
heated boiler. The boiler exploded.
Chief Larkin sounded a general alarm,
at the same time calling on Springfield
for assistance.
The property destroyed included the
warehouse and factory of ]. P. Wolf
& Sons, grocers; Benedict g. Co., cigar
manufacturers; the Dayton Paper Nov
city company, and several other small
er concerns. The Big Four freight de-
pot, situated in the rear Of the above
concerns, escaped destruction by rea-
son of the slate roof. The Office por-
