CURRENT COMMENT.
THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

(NeW York Post.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
presidential contest may not be- close
enough to turn upon the result IN Ken
lucky, for the election in that state is to
be held under the detestable GoebeI law.
The Democratic governor called the legis-
la6ure in special session some weeks ago
for ths purpose OF passing a fair election
law in It's place, but the two branches
could not reach an agreement for q long
time, and when they finally did, it was
provided that the new statute should not
go into operation for ninety days. 1t Is
d most unfortunate state Of things. The
bitterness Of feeling aro1sed by the pas
sage Of the 6oebel law Will not be as
suaged for this campaign, while the
chance CT a heated controversy over the
count remains. So far as the Ell ectoraI
votes ara concerned, the matter may not
end with the count, as the Republicans
may try to carry their case before Con-
gress il the state is awarded to Bryan
when they believe that it has voted for
MckinIaY.

ColOred Napoleons

From the London Daily Mail.
 'N According to the cartoonists, the shade of Napoleon is greatly perturbed by the approaching visit of Cronje to St. Helena
 For six wearisome years Napoleon en- dured the splendid loneliness of exile and died literally of rust on the island of St. Helena. Seventy-two years later 1t was found advisable to deport from Zululand three princes, more strictly speaking kinglets, whose presence In their native land for the time being was a source of some danger.
 These were the son Dinizulu), the brother (Ndabuko) and the half brother (Tshinggana) of King Cetewayo. The three were landed on the island in 1888.
 Cetewayo had persuaded Paul Mtimkulu, a Chatechist, to leave Cape Town and settle in Zululand in order to teach the people. "Dr. Paul. as he was generally called, went to St. Helena with the prin- cess and married a St. Helena maid.
 Miss Colenso, the daughter of the fa- nous bishop, pleaded the cause of the ex- iles with so much zeal that they were eventually released, after they had spent about seven years on the isle which Great Britain exclusively maintains for the se- cpre lodgment of yanquished foes.

THE AMBASSADORS
All Were Present at the Lord Mayors S
 Easter Banquet

London, April 25.-The diplomatic repre- sentatives of the United States, Germany, China, Greece, Servia and the Netherlands were present this evening at the annual Easter banquet of the lord mayor of Lon don. The duke of Cambridge and the Aus tralian federation delegates were also of the company.
 The chief feature of the function was the warm reception given MT. Joseph H. Choate, who responded to a toast "the am bassadors." He was greeted with vocifer- ous applause, and his speech, although chiefly in humorous vein was punctuated with few serious remarks that turned the tide of laughter into hearty cheering.
 q consider" he said, speaking on be- half of his brother ambassadors, that our highest duty and greatest pleasure is to cultivate the friendly relations of our sev eral countries with Great Britain, so as to avoid the possibility of a resort to war"
 He went on to speak of the contribu- tions made by Berlin and other capitrls to the famine fund, adding:
 'I will not indulge in any loud pro- fessons of good will tonight. Actions speak louder than words, and actions like these (referring to the Indian famine contribu- tions) show the feelings of the nations to- ward England. I hope that all the coun- tries represented here in peace will con tnue so; and I hope that all the world may become so united by the efforts of the present as to do away with the possi- bility of confidence"
 The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that there is no foundation whatever for the rumor that MT. Choate will succeed MT. Hay as secretary of state.

The Indiana Convention

Indianapolis, Ind, April 25.-The repub- hean state convention met here today, it's session being devoted principally to the adoption of a platform and speech making Nominations will be made tomorrow The principal interest is in the contest for the goVernorship, the numerous candidates and the nearly equal division of the dele gates, among them making the contest very lively. Trading is likely to determine the making up of the state ticket Hon. J. Frank Hanly, who was chosen chair man of the convention, addressed the gath erlng at some length on current issues Afterwards Senator Fairbanks made a speech in a conciliatory defense of the vote of the Indiana delegation on the Porto Rlcan measure. He promised in behalf of the administration generous treatment toward the Porto Ricans in respect to their domestic affairs He disclaimed any pro- tective feature to the new law, and pro- hounced 1t purely one of expediency prompted by humanity. The platform reso- lutions were then introduced and adopt cd unanimously by a rising vote.
 Congressman Lands responded to a call for speech and aroused the most en- thusiasm of the day by his happy com ments In brief review of the republican administration.
