Governor Bradley Prepares to Check a Riot in the Legislature. DISPUTE OVER ADJOURNMENT. Presiding Officers in Senate and House Disagree as to When the Session Ends. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 15. The crowded hotel lobbies and political head- quarters, which had been in a state of feverish excitement all day over the ex- pected crisis in the Senatorial contest to- morrow, had relaxed into a state of quiet to-night when at 10 o’clock intense excite- ment was produced by the ringing of the military call which summoned the Mc- Creary guards, the local militia company, to assemble at once in its armory on Main street. The continued ringing of the bell caused almost a panic, as it was not known in many parts of the city whether a-riot was in progress or whether a conflagration had broken out. Several hundred people collected in the vicinity of the armory and at first Captain Games and Adjutant Sharpley, who were in command, denied that the company was called out for local service, and declared that they were destined to Newport where they were ex- pected to be needed in keeping Jackson and Walling from being lynched should they be brought to Kentucky. It developed later, however, that no re- quest had been mede for troops at New- port and that this was only a ruse to avoid it being known that they had been called to take a hand to do duty at the State House to-morrow. Later in the evening the company marched direct to the State Capitol build- ing and is spending the night there. The First Regiment of Louisville has been sum- moned and will arrive here at 2 A. M. Sev- eral companies of the Second will arrive to-morrow morhing. The Democrats are highly indignant, #nd g ULHET between the Legislative offi- cers, backed up by the citizens on one side and the military on the other, is expected to occur to-morrow. The Democrats say that Governor Bradley’s act in calling out troops is unwarranted by law and that he has laid himself liable to both fine and im- peachment. The action of Governor Bradley in call- ing out troops is unprecedented in the history of the State. and the people of the State capital are highly incensed. Threats are freely made of having the Governor arrested for usurpation of authority, as it is conceded by lawyers that the order was illegai. There is no question that the sit- uation has been serious for several days, but the local officers and legislative em- ployes were fully equal totheemergency unlessa riot should occur between the members on the floor of the embly, and if this should happen the military would be powerless to prevent it. The McCreary Guards, after forming at their armory, marched in double guick time down St. Clair street and took posses- sion of the State house. Hundreds of peo- ple thronged the streets on either side and the soldiers were subjected to continued uyving and jeering by the crowd as they ed along. Colonel ‘Jack” Chinn, “Jim' Williams, Sharp ana others of the personal staff of Senator Blackburn, whom the 700 soldiers are expected to suppress, were on the sidewalks, as were many members of both houses of the Legislature. The Blackburn men were taken by sur- prise and at a late hour their policy for to- morrow had not been outlined. Senator Bronston (D.) called on Gov- ernor Bradley to-night and inquired as to the object of the resort to the militia. Governor Bradley stated that one of the presiding officers of the General Assembly had made affidavit before him that the local authorities had failed to prevent rowdies from intimidating and overriding members of both houses and, further, that it had come to his ears that he (the Gov- ernor) was to be arrested to-morrow and the State house to be taken possession of by bullies. All of these allegations were flatly denied by Senator Bronston, who is 8 leader of the Blackburn side, and the interview ended. There isa question as to whether to-mor- row’s ballot will be the lastor whether an- other will # taken on Tuesday. Lieutenant. Governor Worthington inclines to the opinion that the Legislature will stand ad- journed at ncon Tuesday. Senator Ben- nett (R.) is also of this opinion, as are a number of other prominent members of both parties. Speaker Blandford of the House, how- ever, believes the session does not expire until Tuesday midnigift, and it is his in- tention to run that body up to the last minute, in order not only to ballot for Senator, but also to pass as many bills as possible and atone as far as can be for the past do-nothing record of the “wild horses'’ over whom he has exercisea par- tial control. 5 To-night’s trains brought in a good- sized crowd of visiting politicians of both parties, who are here to wimess_ to-mor- row’s struggle over the Senatorship. It is conceded on all sides that the fifty-second bailot will be a true forecast of the final result, and the excitement and suspense over it is painful in the extreme. Governor Bradley bas given Sheriff Armstrong Hon. Walter Sharp and a score of other no less determined men. Boyle was also con- spicuous at his headquarters, and his lieu- tenants were particularly active all day. Populist Poor, it is conceded, holds the key to the situation to-morrow, so far as the ballot is concerned, and as he has flirted with both parties during the session he is a much-watched individual just now. He came here strongly inclined to the Re- publican side, but he cut loose from them some time ago, since which he has been what he himself terms a free lance, voting at first for Blackburn, but lately at ran- dom, so that he keeps both sides in the dark. If he votes for Boyle to-morrow Senators James and Walton will be voted, and the Boyle men are confident Lieuten- ant-Governor Worthington will declare an | election on sixty-nine votes notwithstand- ing his ruling on former occasions that seventy votes were required. R P BRADLEY TO BE ARRESTED. Will Be Placed on Trial for Menacing the Senate. FRANKFORT, Ky., March 15.—A com- mittee will be appointed by the Senate to- morrow morning and Governor Bradley will be placed on trial under the charge of menacing the Senate ana interfering with legislation both by past acts and ordering out the militia without cause and merely on alleged idle rumors, Blackburn’s man- agers planned the coup. e Orders to Louisville Guards. LOUISVILLE, Kx., March 16.—Colonel John B. Castleman, commanding the Louisville Legion of the First Regiment, received a telegram from Governor Bradley at 12:15 this morning ordering him to bring 250 men to Frankfort on a special train to leave at 6. A. M. REGULARS MAY BE CALLED OUT. Strife in South Dakota Over the Sacking of a Newspaper Office Grows Bitter. - CHAMBERLAIN, 8. Dax., March 15.— The situation is becoming squally in Aurora County over the sacking and burn- ing of the Mitchell Mail office, and the regulars may have to be called out. After the destruction of his office Editor Mac- Bride went to Plankinton, twenty miles from Mitchell, and two of the newspapers there promptly took up his ficht, the Standard, in its regular edition, being par- ticularly bitter in its attacks upon the participants. An extra edition of that paper was issued by MacBride and another attack was made upon the former's Mitchell enemies. It havingbeen intimated by some one in Mitchell that the next bonfire would occur at Plankinton, Captain Andrews of the Standard, going upon tke suppesition that the alleged threat was intended for him, in this week’s issue of his paper refers to the matter, and says that the local undertaker has on his hands a good supply of coffins, and that if an attempt is made to carry out the alleged threat of burning him out | those who attempt it need not carry cof- fins with them, as the expense of inter- ment is as cheap in Plankinton as in Mitcnell. e o WHITCOMB’S WORK IN VAIN. Collapse of the Episcopal Brothers of the Church. NEW YORK, N.Y., March 15.—News reached this city to-day that the semi- monastic.order in the Episcopal church known as the Brothers of the Church, which was founded by Russell Whitcomb, known as Brother Hugh, has collapsed. The order was recently moved from Mount Jericho, Pa., to Fond du Lac, Wis. The newsof the collapse of the order created a mild sensation among the pro- fessors of the General Theological Sem- inary in this city. The fate of the project, it was said at the seminary, would act as a serious setback to similar movements which might be proposed in the future. il < ARE UNDER Express Companies Decided to Be Amen- able to the Law. ST. PAUL, Mz March Attorney- General Childs yesterday won the first round in the suit of the State to compel express companies to obey the law placing them under the jurisdiction of the State Railroad Commissioner.. Judge Egan of the Distriet Court to-day denied a motion of counsel for the express companies to quash an alternative writ of mandamus. o= grin STATE CONTEOL. Entries for the Saengerfest. PITTSBURG, PA., March 15.—The en- tries for the twenty-eighth National Saen- gerfest, which is to be held in Pittsburg in June, have closed with 111 societies on the list. Secretary C.Saam has not yet re- ceived a complete roster of the individual singers, but, making a fair estimate, there will be about 2600 singers. This guaran- tees that the Pittsburg fest will be one of the largest ever held. At the fest held in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1893 there were but seventy-six societies represented. WOODS" EASTERN RECORD Pinkerton Detectives Identify the Forger as an Old Offender. Once Arrested in Boston, But Released on a Promise That He Would Depart. 5 BOSTON, Mass., March 15.—The noto- rious forger who swindled banks in San Francisco early in January last out of $20,000 on a raised drait has been identi- fied by the authorities of this city as a well-known confidence man named Frank L. Seaver, but who is better known in this city by the name of Fredcrick Stebbins. Seaver was caught on February 29 last in St. Paul, Minn., where he gave the name of D. W. Woods. He was unknown there, but his picture was forwarded to Boston, and this forenoon Superintendent John Cornish of the Pinkerton ageney in this city, and Chief Inspector William B. Watts and Inspector Houghton identified the forger as none other than the man who was arrested here on Februnary 1, 1895. Early in January Seaver, alias Stebbins, cut a wide swath in San Francisco, where orders for the swearing in of a Jarge force | he was known as A. H. Holmes and A.

TALANS 40 THE CAMPAGN Peace in Abyssinia Pending the Results of Treaty Negotiations. MENELIK’S ARMY IDLE. Has Not Moved Since Humbert's Legions Were Slaughtered at Adowah. ENGLAND'S MOVE IN EGYPT. One Thousand Soldiers to Be Sent to Join Those Already & There. ROME, Iravry, March 15.—A dispatch to the Corriero della Sera from Massowan says that in consequence of the peace ne- gotiations with Emperor Menelik, the Italian campaign against the Abyssinians is ended for the present. The dispatch adds that the correspondent of the Corriero will return at once to Italy. The Italia denies the statement pub- lished in the Tribuna that Emperor Mene- lik’s proposal for peace included demands that King Humbert shall send him an autograph request for peace; that Adigrat be immediately evacuatea; that. the Italians withdraw to the frentiers fixed by the Uccialf, and agree to erect no fortresses, and that Italy shall not accept offers of alliance outside the colony of Erythrea. The Tribuna also said that Menelik would agree to oppose the dervishes. Many of the Italian newspapers main- tain that the Anglo-Egyvtian expedition to Dongole will be of no service to the Italians holding Kassala or to Italy her- self. They contend that if the expedition is to be of any real advantage it should start from Suakin and not follow the long route by way of the Nile. ATl RE-ENFORCEMENTS TO BE SENT. Une Thousand British Troops te Join Thage Already in Egypt. PARIS, France, March 15.—A dispatch from Cairo says that Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic agent in Egypt, an- nounced yesterday to the Egyptian Cabi- net that 1000 British troops, to re-enforce those already in Egypt, would leave on March 18 for Cairo. The dispatch adds that the Cabinet de- cided to defray the expenses of the expedi- tion from the Egyptian budget. A first credit of £100,000 will be asked for. Pub- lic opinion is against the expedition as being needless. France, as one of the guaranteers of the Egyptian bondholders, will not agree to charge the Egyptian funds with the cost of the expedition, which, it is estimated, will amount to £2,000,000. The Temps charges Great Britain with starting a Mahdist scare in ¢rder to pro- long her occupation of Egypt, and to aid Italy with Egyptian money. foLzigs s ADVANCING ON KaSSALA. Dervishes Moving Forward to Attack the Stronghold. MASSOWAH, Ecyer, March 15.—A tel- egram from the frontier states that the situation is unchanged. The army of Em- peror Menelik has not moved since the| battle of Adowah. Adigrat, which is 6¢-| cupied by the Italians, will, in the event of a siege, be able to hold out for more than a month. Stragglers and a number of troops who were wounded at the battle of Adowah continue to arrive at the Italian camp. 4 The main body of the Dervishes is ad- vancing toward Kassala, where' a great Italian caravan was expected to arrive to- RLT " ki Traneporte CAIRO, Ecxer, Murch 15.—~The. tran SPANIARD FIGHTS WITH SPANIARD. ratlon i = o bIR0, Boxem Norch 1—The tane| Two-Forces.of - Regulars Anjlo-] an expedition to Dongols will begin on Mareh™20. POLICE AND MOB CLASH. Viennese Guards Prevent a Demone stration at the State Hous VIENNA, AvustriA, March 15.—Several thousand persons went to-day to the ceme- tery where are buried the victims of the revolution of 1848, to-day being celebrated as the anniversary of the insurrection and the flight of Prince Metternich, the Chan- cellor of the empire. After the cere- monies in the cemetery the crowd, on the return to the city, attempted to march to the Reichsrathgebaude, the houses of Par- liament, which are situated on the Ring- strasse opposite the Volksgarten, the in- tention being to make a demonstration. A detachment of mounted police bpre- vented the crowd from proceeding farther, but not until it had had a fight with the mob. 8o far as is known nobody was seri- ously hurt. Several arrests were made. i et SEARCHED FOR WAR STORES. The De Beers Mine in the Transv Visited by Officials. CAPETOWN, SoutH AFRICA, March 15.— The Government officials have caused a search to be made of the De Beers mine for munitions of war. There were found stored on the property of the company a number of rifles and a quantity of ammu- nition. No machine guns were discovered. The search was made in conneetion with the arrest of two of the De Beers Company’s officers, who are charged with having fur- nished arms to the foreign residents: of Johannesburg during-the recent troubles in the Transvaal. i LD DAMAGED BY WIND, Buildings Wrecked at Melbourne and Veasels in the Harbor Sunk. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, March 15.—A terrible wind and hail storm prevailed here to-day. The windows of churches and houses were broken, the roofs of many buildings were carried away, and a num- ber of houses were wrecked. Several ves- sels were sunk and others were damaged. FIGHT WITH REGULATORS Vigilantes and -Special Officers Battle in a Louisiana Town. Three of the Raiders Are Wounded and All Are P'aced Under Arrest. NEW ORLEANS, LA, March 15.—A special from Opelousas, La., says that in an affray last night in that town between regulators and special officers three of the regulators were wounded, one of whom may die. Several brothers named Roy, in 8t. Lan- dry Parish, have taken upon themselves the task of regulating matters which did not suit them. They whipped and un- mercifully beat a man at Villeplatte and came into Opelousas Saturday-night with the avowed intention of taking the town. The Mayor appointed five special officers | to 1preserve the peace. About 9 o'clock they came into collision with the regzula- tors and fifteen or twenty shots were ex- changed, resulting in three of the Roys being wounded. . The regulators, .four, in number, were placed uftider arrest. None of'the officers were hurt. 2 Engage in a Battle at Night. i ERROR OF A SENTINEL. Mistakes a Friendly Column for General Bandera’s Rebel Army. HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE RESULTS. Three Volleys Fired at Short Range Before the Disastrous Blunder Is Discovered. HAVANA, CupA, March 15—An un- toward military accident that occurred last ‘night, growing out of a misunder- standing of the reply to a challenge, re- sulted in the killing of twelve soldiers and the wounding of a number of others. ' A small band of insurgents had set fire to the cane and buildings on a sugar. estate near Mariano, province of Havana. The smoke attracted the attention of two columns of Spanish troops who were advancing in search of the rebels. The column which first arrived on the estdte entrenched itself as a precaution against any sudden attack from the insurgents, who were sup- posed to be near. ‘ The second column, consisting of the San Quintin battalion, arrived on the scene after dark. As it approached the entrenchments of the first column it was hailed by the usual *‘Alerta” from a picket, and responded by calling out the name of the battalion—San Quintin. The picket, confused by the sudden ap- proach of the column, misunderstood the reply, taking it, from the similarity of the sound, to be “Quintin Bandera,” the name of one of the rebel leaders. He at once concluded that the insurgents were moving to attack the column to which he belonged, and, without further parley, discharged his piece and fell back into the entrerchments, where the report of his rifle had caused all the troops to seize their arms and prepare to repel an at- tack. The front column had, in the meantime, continued to advance, supposing that it had come upon the rebels, for whom it was looking. It had not gone far before the first column poured a volley -into its ranks. The second column returned the fire, and then, in response to an order, tixed bayonets and rushed forward to take the entrenchments by storm. As the soldiers went over the entrench- ments the first column poured anvther vol- ley into them, and then when the troops came into close quarters it was discovered from the uniforms and flags that a fatal blunder had been made. It is reported that the losses on both sidesin killed and wounded were over thirty but there is a strong sulpicion that they were much larger. ; All the circumstances tended to the mak- ing of the mistake. -Besides the darkness the smoke from the burning canefields pre- vented the combatants from recognizing each other. The mistake is greatly de- plored, and though it is generally held to have been unavoidable, it is pretty certain that the officers in command of the col- umns will be court-martialed. e st Ay CARKIES ARMS FOR CUBANS. The Bermuda Makes Its Second Start for the 1sland. -NEW YORK, N. Y., March 15.—The Bermuda, laden with arms and ammuni- tion, left her anchorage about two miles south of Liberty Island at 8:15 o’clock this morning and passed Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock. She- cleared yesterday for Vera Cruz and no attempt was made to detain her to-day as she left the narbor. The munitions of war are undoubtedly for the Cuban insurgents. A tugboat fol- lowed the Bermuda and it is understood was in the employ of the Spanish Consul. Dispatches from points along the Jersey coast say the tug followed her out past Asbury Park, but how far or for what pur- pose is not known. The Bermuda when last seen had a full head of steam on and was headed south- ward. If, as was rumored, a steamer is to meet and transfer men {0 the Bermuda it will undoubtedly be some way down the coast. Captain O'Brien, an old Hell Gate. pilot, who is in command of the Bermuda, has taken out filibustering expeditions in years gone by. Early this morning eighteen men of the ‘crew were tuken aboard the Bermuda. About 7:30 the tugboat R.J. Barrett left the Battery landing for the Bermuda. She had on board the chief engineer, Thomas Neilson, the second engineer, Hawden. and the chief steward, Taylor. They had previously been held as witnesses when the Bermuda was captdred on her first attempt to go Cubaward early on the morn- ing of February 2. Another interesting part of the affair is the fact that Tomas Estrada Palma, the head of the Cuban Junta, had suddenly on Saturday night given up his room at the Astor House, where he had been for some time. Saspicious individuals believe that not only a filibustering expedition is under way, but also it is the idea of the Cubans to get their leaders and chief men together in the island so that it may be shown to the United States Congress that they have a well-established government and are worthy to have belligerent rights accorded them. Among the prominent Cuban leaders who have been in this city are General Calixto Garcia, Tomas Estrada Palma and Secretary Perez, who lately arrived from Cuba. At the home of General Gar- cia it was said to-day that he left there about 8 4. M. and said that he would be home to dinner. Itwas said that he had previously denied having any intention of going on the proposed expedition. Secre- tary Perez, who is said to be close to Maceo, could not be found to-day. Consul-General Arturo Baldassano when seen at his home to-night said that he was fully aware of the Bermuda’s movements, but refused to discuss the situation. e g IO FIGHT FUOR CUBA. Liberal Offers Made to @ Troop of Chi- : cago Hussars. CHICAGO, IrL., March 15.—A morning paper says: Benor George Gomez, said to | be.a nephew of General Gowez, is in Chi- ago on & secret mission to aid. Cuba’s in- dependence. According to all reports offers have heen made previously, and are now being renewed, to both private troops and individuals in Chicago to get them to go-and fight for Cuban liberty. Two months ago the Black Hussars, a crack cavalry troop, was selected for a most flattering.offer from the insurgents. The Black Hussars were offered as a troop $1000 apiece to go to Cuba and fight on the insurgent. side. Their horses, arms and uniforms were to be purchased from them by the Cuban Government and would be at their disposal quring théir term of fight- ing. In case of success attending the patriot cause, pensions were to be given to the survivors and to the families of those killed. A number of the members of the Black Hussars were well in favor of the proposed expedition. Headed by their captain, Thomas 8. Quincy, they came out plainly in favor of the scheme. Then the majority, headed by the cooler and wiser heads in the troop, suddenly asserted itself. Captain Quincy was relieved froin command in the middle of his term of office, and Samuel B. Foster, attorney for .the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railroad, was elected in his place. Mr. Foster, alkhough absent from the city at the time, was known to favor moderate and cool-headed action, and was opposed to accepting the offer of the Cuben Government. Since the election of Captain Foster, the majority against the proposed expedition has held the reins of govern- ment in the troop, and all efforts of the warlike minority have been laughed to scorn. But the contagion has spread to the sister troop of the Chicago Hussars, and many of that body are now considering similar offers to those made individually to the Black Hussars. It was at this point of affairs that Senor Gomez came to. town. He arrived. in Chicago on Wednesday night and is still here, although his whereabouts is carefully concealed by his friends. Since his arrival the talk among the more warlike of the hussars about Cuba has broken out afresh. Yoins 2o B THE SENATE'S ATTITUDE. May Send the Cuba Resolution Back to Conference. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 15.—It is probable that the week opening to-morrow will bring the conclusion of the Cuban de- bate in the Senate, for Sherman, in charge of the conference report, has given notice that he intends to press the question to an early vote. Senator Morgan of Alabama, the ex-chairman of the committee, has the floor on the report whenever itis called up. It is not unlikely that he will reply tosome of the strictures upon the members of the Senate made by Minister de Lome. Others who intend to speak on the subject are Senators Platt of Connecticut, White of Cal- ifornia, and probably Butler of North Car- olina. The chief objection to the conference re- port is.the acceptance by the Senate con- ferees of the third clause of the House resolution relating to intervention. This identical proposition was submitted to the Senate Committee, and after mature de- liberation was rejected. One prominent Senator, who intend® to speak on this sub- ject, says that if the Senate Committee Lm reported this clause in its own resolu- tions they would not have received one- third of the vote of the Senate. The objection to this clause is so bitter that it is not impossible the report may be sent back to conference, although such a -contingency is not seriously expected. One Senator, who has given thejquestion careful consideration, is authority for the statement that the report will ed to, but that the vote against it will be at least twenty, instead of six, as against the original pfoposition. IAUSTRIA ALTERS GERMAN POLICY. Result of the Visit of Count Goluchowski Is Apparent. MILD TOWARD BRITAIN. Official Press Declares That the Two Nations Are Not Estranged. AN EGYPTIAN WAR DESIRED. Lord Salisbury’s Course Is Commended at Berlin—Dissensions at Wil- liam’s Court. BERLIN, GerMaNy, March 15.—Count Gotuchowski, Austrian Minister of For- eign Affairs, has returned to Vienna from his visit to Berlin. He took the route by the way of Dresden, where he held a brief conversation with Dr. Schurig, President of the Council of Ministers of Saxony, aud Public Instraction, who awaited his ar- rival at the sgation. The results of the Austrian Foreign Minister here have become distinctly visible in the changed tone of the semi- official press in regard to the relations be- tween Germany and England. The cue seems to have been given to deny that any differences have existed between the Gov- ernments at Berlin and London, or else to ignore the fact of there having been a strain 1n their relations which threatened a definite estrangement of the two countries. The North German Gazette, which as re- cently as last Tuesday accused England of encouraging the French desire for revenge upon Germany, and the English news- papers of rejoicing at the prospect of a rupture of the Dreibund, referred yvester- day to England’s active sympathy with Italy, treating the matter from the stand- point of approval of England’s course. Still more significant is the fact that the Gazette has not a single word to say sug- gesting the existence now or heretofore of any strain in the relations between Eng- land and Germany, Another example of the German change of front is shown in the Weser Zeitung of Bremen, which publithes a Berlin inspired nefeupon the thene, *‘England wishes to madintain Egypt.” “Itisin the interest of ! Germary,’” the note observes, “to preserve the balance of power in the Meaiterran- ean, and this can best be done by main- taining the the status quoin Egypt. The security of 'the Dreibund would be in- creased if the naval power of England siould re-enforce the Italo-Austrian posi- tion.” Finally the ariicle argues that the inter- ests of the Dreibund and England are so mutually independent that no quarrel over the Transvaal ought to be suffered to im. peril these interests. % The semi-official newspapers in Austria~ Hungary boast of the success of Count Goluchowski in achieving a perfect under- standing with the German Emperor in re- gard to the relationsbetween the Dreibund and England, and also upon other ques- tions. ‘The Pesther Lloyd saysthat tLe Dreibund is safe, and has the corollary of the friendliness of England. As regards the prosecution of the Abys- sinian campaign by Italy the Austro-Ger- man official view of the matter has under- gone a change. Instead of advising the continuance of active operations in Africa | until a signal victory shall vindicate the prowess: of Italy, it is now held that it would be best to limit the scope of Italian occupation in Africa to the triangle formed by Asmara, Keren and Massowan, hold the line co Kassala and make peace with King Menelik. i - This plan, it is expected here, will be | —e NEW TO-DAY.
