fiOMD , March 13. Out ot the terrible
storm of popular anger which swept over
Italy when the news of the defeat ot the
army under General Bnratelrl reached here ,
llttlo remains but a feeling ot great resent
ment against the Italian commander. All
rioting has ceajcJ. The reservists who fled
from the country sooner than go Africa at
the call ot the government for the class ol
1872 are returning and It Is not believed
any steps will bo taken to punish them. Ne
gotiations with King Menelek have been
opened , It Is anticipated that peace Will be
concluded before long , nnd the war office
has countermanded the Instructions sent to
various points for the hurrying forward o
reinforcements to Africa. The new cabl
net Is settling down to work and the flnnn
clal situation Is brighter than anticipated
Under the circumstances , Italy breathes freer
than for some time past and there Is a feeling
of gratitude for those who have aided It
Berlin during the past few days In bringing
nbout this change from blank despair tr
great hope In the future.
The conferences which have taken plac
hero recently between the marquis dl Rudlnl
the new premier , and the duke of Sermoneta ,
their audiences with King Humbert nnd the
constant exchange of telegraphic messages
between this city and the German capital
have been coincident with the meetings In
Berlin of the Austrian minister for foreign
affairs , Count Goluchowskl ; the German for
eign minister , Maron Marschal von Bleber-
Bteln ; the Italian ambassador to Germany ,
Count Lana dl Busca , and the Imperial
chancellor , Prince Hehenloho , supplemented
by audiences with Emperor Will'uin.
Out of all these exchanges of views , It Is
believed , has grown a much healthier state
of affairs for nil Europe. The German em
peror Is understood to have been somewhat
if not entirely weaned from his longings for
eloper relations with Russia and a possible
alliance of the three emperors and the atti
tude of Germany toward Greai Britain , It Is
anticipated , will undergo a change for the
better. This Is duo to the fact , according
to reports , that Great Britain , when the
situation was outlined to her from Berlin ,
before the arrival there of Count Goluchow-
ekl , promised support for the Italians In the
emergency and took steps to order an ad
vance up the Nile from Wndy Haifa , toward
Dongola , of a strong column of British-
Egyptian troops to act as a diversion and
prevent the concentration of the natives for
a joint attack upon the Italians. An
Italian loan , It is further stated , could have
been floated in London , and the half pledged
support of Great Britain to the Drelbund , a
support hitherto Involving llttlo else than
nn Irritating uncertainty , Is rumored to have
developed Into n much more cordial nnd
solid understanding with the powers forming
the Drelbund.
CRISIS NOW OVER.
Both Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor
"William are praised for this result , aa It la
known that they have striven night and day
since the storm broke to relieve the. strain
hero , which at ontj time was severe enough to
threaten the foundations ot the throne. In
fact , now tlmt the crisis la over , it is ad
mitted that King Humbart at ono time was
face to face "with the possibility of out
breaks serious enough to develop into almost
anything. This condition of affairs , of course
was greatly to the advantage of the social
ists , who proflted by It lo obtain concessions
which they could not otherwise have com
manded.
To cap t'ne peaceful climax , comes tm
pleasant report that Emperor William ol
Germany , Emperor Francis Joseph of Austrlz
and KingHumbert will meet at Genoa in
few days , and that a nerlea of brilliant fetei
will mark this public proof of the renewa
of the ties which compose the Dielbund
which l Intended to demonstrate to al
whom it may concern that Italy , Instead o
being friendless , upon the verge ot bank
ruptcy nnd encumbered by a tottering throne
is strong In the earnest supper
of Germany and Austria and wll
bo backed by Great Britain Ii
any great emergency. That the latter repor
Is true Is no longer doubted hero and It I
added that a British naval squadron will bi
ordered to Genoa upon the occasion of th
meeting of the cmperorw and King Humbert
In order to openly demonstrate Gren
Britain's sympathy with Italy and th
Drelbund. Finally it Is Bald that before th
emperors meet at Genoa Emperor FrancI :
Joseph will have succeeded In cntlrel
reconciling Queen Victoria with her Imperla
grandson , and so the peace of Europe , It 1
hoped , will be further cemented and th
possibility of on European war will be drive
further and further Into the background.
TO BE TRIED IN PUBLIC.
Orders have been sent from the war ofllt
to Massowah that the report of Genera
JUIdlssjra and Baratelrl on the defeat of tl1
Italians at Adowa Is to bo supplemented I
the forwarding to this city of n number
important witnesses of the engagement ,
was nt first proposed to court martial Gci
oral Baratelrl at Massowah ; In fact , thi
plan has not been entirely abandoned , bi >
there- were so many utterances of dlsa
prqval In the press when the plan was ou
lined that it'Is understood that General R
cottl has decided to have the unfortuun
ofllcer tried In public in this city.
There Is a strong movement , howovc
among certain military men and others
have tlio trial conducted In secret , as It
feared that revelations may bo made whlc
will not tend to strengthen the caao of Ha
before the world. But the ecnoral publ >
demands publicity in the matter and It Is b
lloved tlmt the war ofllce authorities w
havp to bow to the popular will.
Every fresh advice from Africa only tom
to confirm the most alarming reports as
the extent of the disaster at Adowa , ai
although the ofllclal flcurm have not y
been made public , It la admitted that ov
12,000 men were killed , wounded or mai
prisoner ? . It la believed that the loss of tl
Abysfilnlans was almost as great. The Aby
glnlans captured almost all tlio Italian a
tlllory , ammunition and supplies.
OTHER GENERALS CONCURRED.
General Baratelrl. however , repeats th
the disaster , thouch unavoidable uuder t
circumstances , was not duu to any detlro
Btrllio a blc blow be for a the arrival frc
Italy of hla successor , General Baldlraei
Ho datum tlmt the plan of battle was cat
fully mapped out between hlnuelf and 1
generals , that all the latter approved It , a
that It would have succeeded had it i
been for the fact that the native tree
under the Italian flag became panic stilck
and so brought about the complete dcfc '
of the Italian forces.
Disinterested Judges Hill hold that t
real cause for the defeat of the Italians i
to bo found In the almost uncenslng clan : n
ot certain newspapers of this city and otli
parts of Italy nt the alleged inictluu ot G (
oral. Baratelrl. These apparently unji
comments upon his conduct nt thn cumpal
corn to have goaded him to push forua :
: -\\hon good generalship would have avoid
i such a B'CP until the plan for the advnr
\ upon Tiger were completed , which l not I
i lleycd to have been the care , as over 1G , (
I reinforcements were on Iholr \ > ay lo Ociif

real cause of his failure to do so may bo
found In his possible political future , which
was threatened by the taunts of certain
newspapers at his alleged Inactivity , when , as
everybody now sees clearly , ho should hove
remained Inactive for quite a time longer.
But the new troops also meant tlie coming
of a new commander , and , although Baratelrl
denies It , this may have been another feature
of the case and another Indirect cause of the
great disaster.
AMNESTY FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS.
The cabinet council , with a view to ap
peasing the populace , 1ms decided to grant
amnesty to tlia participants In the uprisings
In Sicily and Massa Carrara In 1S93 and
1894 , except such as were guilty of homi
cide. There are 120 persons who will ben
efit by such a decree , Including several
members of the Chamber of Deputies who
have been elected since they wore Impris
oned , The revolt In Italy assumed serious
proportions In 1894 , during the former pre
miership of Slgnor Crlspl. Troops were
sent to the Island and many desperate and
fatal encounters occurred. There seemed
to bo two elements In the uprising , ono of
the peasantry , discontented and suffering
with heavy taxation , and the other Incited
by socialist clubs known as the Fascl del
Lavoratorl. The latter was shown to be
supported liberally with arms and money
and was Intended to spread as a revolution
ary movement to Italy. There was no fur
ther development of the plot In Italy , how
ever , than alight outbreaks In the prov
ince of Massa Carrara and at Leghorn.
Slgnor Crlspl , In a speech at the time , as
serted that these revolutionary associations
had 289,000 members. This state of things
ho maintained , Justified the extreme meas
ures that had been adopted. The deputy
Slgnor do Felice Gulffradl , who was ar
rested because of his connection with the
outbreaks , was condemned to the loss of
his position as deputy and to eighteen years
solitary confinement , while others arrested
with him were sentenced similarly , though
the period of Imprisonment was diminished
The Italic Mllltalro asserts that It lia :
good authority for stating that Empcro :
Menclck's proposals of peace ara honorabli
and advantageous to Italy. The Trlbuna
fears the proposals conceal a snare and as
sorts that Mcnelek Is simply seeking t <
gain time. The Fanfulla , the clerical organ ,
learns that the negotiations for peace are
on the same basis ns those which were
originally started by ex-Premier Crlspl.
The Rlfonna vehemently opposes a peace.
Most of the other papers , however , favor
the conclusion of peace.
The alleged Italian reverse at Sabdcvat ,
which was aggravated by a news agency
into another disaster , seems to have been
merely the defeat of a local tribe friendly
to the Italians. A hundred Italian troops ,
returning from El Dal , reinforced the tribe
and afterward kept the route open to Kas-
sala.
LONDON , March 13. The Times has a
Rome dispatch which says : The news of the
peace negotiations has produced a feeling
of surprise amounting to stupor In most t
quarters. The conditions fixing the frontier
at the Marad river line and the prohibition
of fortifications on the frontier are consid
ered humiliating. The majority of the depu-
tics now here oppose the project.
It has been ascertained tint Colonel Gal-
llano ( who was reported certalnlv to have
been killed at the battle of Adowa ) wa
severely wounded and Is a prisoner the
Slioan camp.
e The Times has an editorial discussing the
Italian situation and declares thaf'tho shock
g to European prestige owing to the defeat
at Adowa canont be neutralized by Italy
concluding a peace with Menolek. And it
r Is doubtful , even then. If Italy would bo
3 able or willing to hold Cassala , " the cdl-
torlal adds , and then proceeds as follows
"The advance upon Dongola Is urgent In
o the Interests of the British policy. It will
prepare the way for the advance on Omdur-
man when the time is ripe and the shatterIng
Ing of the Mahdtst power at Its base. "

MORE DANGEROUS THAN WAR

Chief of the Sanitary Coriix of the

Detail with iv Cor-
rCNnOIHlL.il * .
( Copyright , H9 . by Press Publishing Company. )
HAVANA , March 13. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) I have had
an interview with Major General Lozada ,
chief of the sanitary corps of the Spanish
army In Cuba , on the subject of the health
of the troops. He Is very distinguished In
his own country and hla military rank cor
responds to that of surgeon general In the
United States army. Since his arrival In
Cuba last November ho has revolutionized
the practices In the meJIco-surglcal rervlco.
Immediately upon his arrival ho decided
to remove the military hospital from the con
tury-old building , located in the unhealthlcst
portion of Havana , reeking with germs of
disease , to a breezy hill near the I'rlnclpo
fortress , outside the city. Ho was also the
first to separate yellow fever cases from
other patients In the hospitals. Genral Lo
zada stated that the present health of the
army Is excellent. Reports from different
stations on the Island , Eome of which , ow
ing to lack of telegraphic communication ,
had been delayed a week or more , showed
an aggregate of 5,545 cases of sick , wounded
and disabled from all causes on March 1 ,
out ot a total number of 110,000 regular
troops. The prevalent diseases arc malaria'
fevers and throat and lung affections , with
some yellow fever , mostly at Santiago , Man-
znnllto and forts along the northeast coast ,
The general hospital In Havana contains
1.5CS patients to day , of which thirty-four
are ofilccrs. There are 240 surgical cases ,
.Including wounded. There are nineteen
cases of yellow fever. No doubt some o
the yellow fever patients contracted the dls
case In the old hospital building , In which
there are now about COO patients. The- nov
hospital at Principe contains over 800. In
a fortnight all the patients will be removed
to the new hospital. It Is on the Amurlcin
army plan with modern pavJlllons. Infec
tlous diseases , especially yellow fever , arc
Isolated at the new hospital. At all has
pltals on the Island yellow fever is now
Isolated , a practice that never prevailed be
ore.
"There have not been BO many coses o
gunshot wounds , sword and machete cut
ns supposed , " said General Lozada , "ou
soldiers appear to have had comparative ! ;
few of such injuries. When I arrived I sav
immediately the necessity of removing1 th
sick from the- old hospital. I presents
the subject to Martinez Campos , and h
at once approved it. Since then I have re
celvcd additional authority to extend thi
new hospital at Principe. General Weyler
will grant all the necessary funds. The
reason why this important change was not
made before was that authority coulu not
be obtained. Some strong local Interests
desired the hospital to remain In the cd !
situation , which Is the worst , from a sani
tary point of view in Havana. I anticipate
an unhealthy summer.
AFRAID OF YELLOW FEVER.
-
: "There are so many unaccllmated people
( soldiers ) here that much sickness , due to
the climate , Is Inevitable. I fear that yel
- low fever will be epidemic. Of course every
thing in our power will be done to main
- tain the health of our soldiers. The Span
ish army In Cuba has never before been so
well provided with hospital facilities as now.
There are hospitals In all the principal cen
ters of the Island , and many private houses
have been fitted up to receive the sick at
other points In the field. I find that huts
thatched with palm leaves make a good shel
ter for the sick or wounded while awaiting
transportation to a general hospital. I have
' an abundant supply of medicines and nn
excellent corps of medical officers. The
fidelity of the latter Is attested by the fact
that fifteen surgeons died of yellow fever
g ; last year. "
General Lozada has only recently recov
ered from fever himself.
Antonio Maceo mid the band of Lacrot and
Qulntln Bandora have made a dash for the
province of Havana , following the border of
the great swamp on the southern coast In
their progress. Todav they were on the line
of the railway to San Felipe , near Guinea.
h They were at San Nicholas last night.

HAVANA , March , 13.- Advices received
hero from the. provlncb of'Santa Clara say
that the Insurgents forbid theeountry fam-
Illos from going Into the town * In accordance
with the orders of General Weyler. Gomez
is also reported to have declared It to be
unnecessary To baptize children or to per
form the ceremony of marrlagt\ and It is
stated that there ore no priests In the camps
ot the Insurgents.
At Qarlcubulla and Placetns the Insurgents
are concentrating their cattle and provisions ,
and It is reported that Gomez will try to
pass out of the province , 'of Santa Clara ,
where ho 1s now said to be hiding In the
swamps. The local guerillas ot La Palmn
plantation have been engaged with the ad
vance guard ot a detachment of Insurgents.
Two of the latter , including , Lieutenant
Marques ! Bczutz , were killed , Near
Cardenas district , province yf Matanzas , the
Insurgents have derailed and plundered a
passenger train , after which ! they burned the
cars. Lieutenant Colonel Outgo , operating
with a column of troops In the mountains of
Santiago , has destroyed Insurgent camp ,
killing five people. \
Captain Qulntlna recently -surprised on the
highway , near Gulsa , province of Santiago
do Cuba , an Insurgent force , which , after
a skirmish , left three killed'on the field and
two prisoners In the handr of the troops.
Near Colon , province of Mntanzas , the In
surgents have beheaded an ,0.1(1 man. A dis
patch from Cardenas cays that eight persona
have been arrested there on the charge ot
conspiring against the government.
Colonel Hernandez , belnc Informed that
the Insurgent forces under [ Frodcrlco Nunez
nnd Lucas Martinez were encdmped at the
plantation of San Leon olid the farm of
La Luz , near Artcmlsa , in the province of
Plnar del Rio , went In pursuit of thorn , and
encountered their' rear guaru at the farm of
Travclos. Soon afterward the enemy ad-
vnnceil from the positions Jccupled and at
tacked the Spanish troops. Some lively filing
followed , and Colonel Hernandez tried
to turn the flank of the Insurgents. This
brought the full force of the Spaniards and
Insurgents Into battle at long range. A com
pany 'of Alfonso XIII battalion of Spanish
troopa particularly distinguished Itself. The
Lorlo battalion also displayed considerable
gallantry , and eventually the Insurgents were
compelled to retreat , leaving five killed and
nine wounded on the field. The troops cap
tured the arms of the- latter , nnd on the
government side eight men Were wounded , ol
whom three were sorlously Injured.
The local guerillas of Sagua la Grande , al
the Guayabo farm and In the hills of Belen
and Domlnguez , have been engaged with the
Inourgent forces commanded by Jose Domln
guez. The Insurgents were dislodged fron
their positions and left five filled and two
wounded behind them.
At Madruga , province ot Havana , the In
surgents have burned the fields and houses
of the Cardlda plantation and have hangcc
a pacific Chinaman. '
The Insurgents are again , In the centra
portion of the province of Havana In fore
and are moving westward to the neigh
bcrhood of the city of ' Havana. Colone

LONDON , March 13. ( Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Able and
patriotic as has been the liberal Chronicle's
utvpartlsan effort to present the facts In
the Venezuelan controversy , with equal fair
ness to the United States and Great Britain ,
thus averting the chance of a hostile issue ,
it Is learned that its Important disclosures
have not tended to make more conciliatory
the policy of Lord Salisbury. But the
Chronicle's proof , yesterday , ot excessive
carelessness , to cay the least , In statements
ot absolute untruths In the recent British
blue book , was so overwhelming that the
tory St. James Gazette this afternoon -naa
compelled to admit the Importance ot these
rcvolatlcrii of official Incompetency , nnd
practically to demand they be considered
by the premier.
This Is significant since U shows that tory
Intolerance at last recognizes that Lord
Salisbury Is not Infallible. The Gazette goes
to far as to say : "Tho foreign office has been
unlucky of late. When It has a bad case , as
It had , most unluckily In Armenia , It makes
It were by mismanagement ; If Its care Is ns
good , as It undoubtedly Is In regard to
Venezuela , it does not make the best of It. "
It admits "extraordinary carelessness in the
pages of this blue book,1' ' and that Sir Fred ,
crick Pollock made points In favor of Eng.
land In his resume , which wore absolutely
contradicted In official excerpts In his own
appendix. The Gaizette says further : "More
over , some other passages are quoted In
tie ! summary , which read quite different
when they nro looked up In the appendix. "
'Tho Gazette still maintains that the British
case , in spite of thcso mistakes , Is perfectly
gcod , but Its editorial today , for reasons 1
have stated , shows a break In the faith ol
the party In Its leader and will make clear
even to the premier that ho cannot here
after count on the unthinking and unques
tioning support of his party In this matter.
This is important , since the party has been
disposed to follow Lord Salisbury Implicitly ,
and he has been from the beginning obsti
nate. While all authorities deny the story
from New York that the controversy has been
satisfactorily arranged , there Is no doubt
expressed in Influential circles hero that It
will be eventually so arranged.

MADRID , March 13. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Conslderabl
disappointment was expressed this morning
by all the Madrid papers on hearing tha
debates on the Cuban belligerency rcsolu
lions continue In the American senate. Tele
crams circulated by agencies and telegrams
to the principal papers had led tho'public
to "suppose yesterday that Ihe .matter was
indefinitely postponed nnd a conflict thus
averted. This even caused a sharp rally
on the Madrid Stock exchange. Some of
the papers today express angry impatience
at Spain being kept constantly In suspense
concerning the ultimate line of conduct of
America ,
El Corrco , El Liberal and other papers
begin to find fault with the military opera
tions in Cuba , because the Insurgents have
reappeared behind columns in territories that
have been reported clear of them. These
papers complain of the small results fiat
have attained slnco the beginning of Febru-
ary.
The ministerial paper , Epoca , having said
that a colossal effort might yet be necek-
sary to pacify Cuba , the opposition press
reply that all Spaniards are willing to Incur
the expense for such efforts.
I am unable to st.ite that , contrary to tl-e
Desertions of the Madrid press , Minister
Taylor has not visited the queen or the royal
family lately , and went only to the foreign
ofilce situated on the ground floor ot the
palace , to visit the duke of Totuan.

NEW YORK , March 13. The Armenian
tlcllcf association has just received from
Constantinople the following detailed in
formation concerning the recent massacre
at Blrljtk : DlrlJIk is situated on the
Euphrates , almost due east of Aleppo , oh
the line of communication between Aleppo
and Mosul. It was a famous city In nnclcnt
times , bcilng ono of the two polr.ts of the
passage for tlio Assyrian armies marching
westward , and Is still a place of some Impor
tance. DlrlJIk had about 300 Christian
houses , or , say nbout 1,000 souls , in the midst
of a Mussulman population of nbout 0,000
souls. After the massacre at Ourfa on the
27th of October. 1S95. the authorities nt
Blrljlk told the Armenians that the Moslems
were afraid of them , and that , therefore ,
they ( the Armenians ) must surrender to the
government any arms they possessed. This
was during a most rigid search being Instl
tutcd to assure the authorities that nothing
whatever In tha way of arms rcmaltml in
the hands of the Armenians. This dlsanna
ment caused no little anxiety to the Ar
menians , since the Moslem population was
very generally armed nnd w as constantly
adding to Its arms. In yet , ihirlnc the
months -of November and December , the
Christians have been kept within their
houses because the danger ot appearing upon
the streets was very great.
Troops were called out by the government
to protect the people. Since the Eoldlers had
come to protect the Christians the Christians
were required to furnish animals for , them
to carry their goods. Then they were re
quired to furnleh them beds and carpets to
make them more comfortable. Finally they
were required to furnish the noldlers will
food , and they were reduced to a state bcr-
dering on destitution by these Increasing de
mands. The end came on the 1st of Jan
uary , 180G , when the news of the massacre
of several thousands of Christians at Ourfa
by the soldiers appo'nted ' to guard them , In1-
cltcd the troops at Blrljlk to Imitate tbls
crime.
The assault on the Christian houses com
menced at about 0 o'clock In the mprnlng
nd. continued until nightfall. Thereoldlcr ;
ere aided by theMoslems of the'clty'ii th
errlble work. The object at first scorned t
o mainly plunder , but after the plundc
ad been secured , the soldiers seemed ti
lake a systematic search for men , to kll
who were unwilling to accept Moham
medanlsm. The cruelty used to force me
o become Moslems was terrible. In one caee
10 soldiers found some twenty people , men
omen and children , who had taken rofugi
n a sort of a cave. They dragged then
ut and Wiled all the men and boys be
ause they wo'uld not become Moslems. Aflo
uttlng down ono old man who had thu :
efused , they put live coals upon his bed ;
nd as > he was writhing In agony they held
a bible before him and asked him mock-
ngly to read them some of the promises
n which he had -trusted. Others were
hrown Into the river while still alive , after
avlng been cruelly wounded. The women
and children of this party were loaded up
Ike goods upon the backs of porters and
arrled off thus to the houses of Moslems.
Christian girls were eagerly nought after
nd much quarreling occurred over tho' ques-
lon ot their division among their captors.
3very Christian house except two claimed
o bo owned by Turks , was plu-.dorcil.
Ninety-six men ore known to have been
cllled , or about half ot the udalt Olirlstkui
men. The others have become Mussulmans
.o save their lives , so there Is not a single
Shrlstlan left In BlriJIk today. The Ar-
nenlan church has been made into n
and the Protestant church Into a MedreEBC
'
seminary. _

LOUISVILLE , March 13. A special to the
Post from Frankfort says : The slate house *
was full ot ominous rumors this morning.
Party leaders hurried to and from fecrct
conferences. St. John Boyle , the republican
nominee , was consulted all night. Into his *
rooms at the Capital hotel the leaders went
with mysterious rapidity. It was not denied
tlmt Mr. Boyle and his friends determined
to Ignore the Illegal expulsion ot Senators
James nnd Walton by the senate on Wednes
day , and that at the proper time thcyo sena
tors were to rise In their peats , bo recognized ,
by the chair nnd cast their votes for Boyle ,
whether the clerk of tha senate , who Is-
chief cletk of the Joint nss > cTiibly , recorded
their votes or not. Ot course , ho will refuse -
fuse to call their names or enter their votes-
as cast on the journal , but tills the re
publican leaders have decided Is not neces
sary , if Duulap will qualify nnd vote for the-
nominee.
Mr. Boyle received another long to ! ° ' wra
from Senator John Sherman today In which ,
ho gave It as his opinion thnt slxty-nlno
votes constituted a legal quorum since the
death of Senator WeUislnccr. and with Dun-
lap and the two Illegally expelled senators
voting with the other sixty-two members ,
would elect , nnd In his opinion the pur.alo oC
the United States would sj decide. The
ruling of Lieutenant Governor Worthlngton
yesterday , that seventy votes were required
to make a legal quorum , did not disturb the
leaders. They believed that the ruling would
be changed. The republicans called In all
the pairs. There was to bo no faith put la
the vote of Populist Poor for Bolye , although
that unfortunate member was overwhelmed
by letters and telegrams from his homo
county , urging him to vote for the nominee.
Both James and Walton were in the huuso-
chamber Shortly after that body mot. Dr.
James declares ho will answer his name If
called. Walton sayo the same.
It develops this morning thnt the demo
cratic members are far from being united
on the policy to bo pursued.
CLEARED THE CORRIDORS.
Shortly after 11 o'clock Sheriff Armstrong-
made his appcaranco with eight deputies In
the corridors between the two house cham
bers. Senator Blackburn , with a few of his-
friends , Including Jim Williams , Jack Chlnn
and others , came over to the senate cloak
room about 11:30. : Colonel Chlnn , approached
Colonel Lsw Tarloton and said he under
stood Tnrleton had been talking about him as
ono of a crowd of ruffians. Colonel Tarleton
raid that he had not said anything of the
kind , but ho did say aa a citizen of the-
county , "I think the civil authorities should
bo on hand to suppress an outbreak of any
kind. "
At 11:30 : o'clock Sheriff Armstrong re
ceived Instructions from Governor Bradley
to clear the ssnato cloak room , in which
were Senator Blackburn and his friends , In
cluding Jack Chlnn nnd others. As soon as
the senate majority heard of this move of the
governor , tlio- friends of Senator Blackburn
grew hot and nt once drew up n resolution of
rebuke to the governor , which was adopted.
It caused the wildest confusion.
The reading of the' resolution caused , a.
sensation. Petrle , republican , said that It
Vina extraordinary and ho asked that a com
mittee bo appointed to confer with the , gov
ernor and see if such an order had bsen IP-
sued by him.
Senator' Bronston grew fiery and bitterly-
scored the governor. Ho called for the ?
adoption of resolutions.
Senator Goebel spolto equally as bitterly
He said the governor had no right to inter
fere with the rights of the senate. "I for
one , " ho shouted , In his cold , penetrating1
voice , "am ready to protect my own rights
nnd privileges. "
Salyer was not carried oft hie feet by this
storm of denunciation of the governor. Ho
paid It was the duty of the senate out of re
spect to the govprnor to rend a committee
to nnd out from that official If he had Issued
such an order. "It It is found , " said ho ,
"that the governor has Ispued such on order ,
then I am In favor of passing the rciujlu-
tlon , but let 11. , not act hastily. "
Bronston bald : "Never will that commit
tee go to the governor with my consent , or
with my votu , " i
"Or mine , " cried Gocbel nnd others.
The sheriff , who was present , hero uald
that he had received the orders mentioned ,
from the governor.
DENOUNCED GOVERNOR BRADLEY.
Senator Bronston said : "I denounce the act
of the governor , If It were with the last
drop of my blood. It Is outrageous and un
lawful , a treacherous act. I denounce It , "
he almost screamed , amidst the pounding of ;
the gavel and the ( suppressed hum of many
voices. "Let the covernor leave us alone.
Pass the resolutions and condemn the mun
who Is governor by accident. I Jcnounca
his action and am ready as a Kenlucklan
and as a man. "
Then , white as a sheet , the senator sat
down.
. The Bergeant-at-arms shouted : "The pre
siding olllcer will clear the floor. "
Then Senator Doboe arose and denounced
the reflection of Dionstoii on Governor Brad *
ley as falio and untrue. "I say It to hli
face , " Bald ho glaring at Bronston. Then ha
sat down.
Senator Bronston jumped up and com
menced to unbutton hln vest , and many pres
ent thought that the time for bloodshed had
arrived. Before ho could act the presiding
olllcer succeeded by pounding the gavel and
pleading for quiet in restoring crder.
Senator Salyer rose and said that ho was
not willing to Insult the governor of Ken
tucky , and moved to refer the motion offered
by Broneton to the committee on rules , and
thin was done.
Bronuton , Gocbel and the frlcnl.1 of Black
burn , seeing they had been outvoted , sub
sided and one of the most remarkable scenes
ever * witnessed In a deliberative body ended.
The news of the excitinguconea In the
senate had not reached the house before the
joint assembly arrived , and when the senate
llled In shortly after noon the members of
the IIOUBO had not been fortunate or - unfortunate
fortunate enough to hear what had pawed la
that body.
The call of the roll developed Ilio fact
that the republicans had not succeeded In get
ting out all their members. There were two
pairs.
Thu roll call showed 128 members present ;
necessary to choice , sixty-five. The reading
of tile journals was dispensed with without
any attempt on the part ot Senator Bronston
to delay the proceedings as on yesterday by
Inojgtlng on having read the journals of each
llOllkO.
The ballot retulted : Blackburn , CO ; Car *
lisle , 13 ; liucknor , 1.
The republicans again refused to vole and
there waa no quorum. When PopulUt
Poor's name wna called he refused vote.
The chair announced that { hero had bt n
no election , The assembly then adjourned.
APOLOGIES ALL AROUND.
When ( ho senate reconvened after the
joint Ecstlon , Sheriff Armstrong , who had
be > 5n In consultation with the governor re
garding thq clearing of the senate cloak
room , apjK'ared with a written paper from
the executive. This paper wan read to the
ttnato upon request of Mr. llror.ston , and
