Hunter Yet Leads in the SenatorialStruggle, But the Deadlock Is

Not Broken. ,

FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 7.—The billtorepeal the Southern Pacific charter was re-ported to the Senate from the JudiciaryCommittee this morning, given its secondreading and placed on the calendar, whereitmay be called up at any time, unless ob-jection is made. %.!\u25a0/. ?-\u25a0' ;?- '"•

Chairman Goebel reported the bill andSenator Weissinger threw down the gaunt-let in announcing that he wished arecord made in the journal that two mem-bers of the committee voted against re-porting the bill,and laid down in plainterms that the road would resist everyinch of ground against the passage of thebill. •'7;-77v77r ;-*''-*7?7-

Without further debate the simple en-trance of the billwas made on the journal.Itwas evident, however, that a giant fightwas on from the start. Senators Wiessingerand Hays are leading the fight againstthe billand are already actively at work,assisted by a strong lobby of lawyers.

Senator Goebel is determined in bisefforts to pass the bill and has made athorough canvass ofthe members. He de-clares that the billwillbe passed bya largemajority in. the upper branch, and has as-surances that itwill pass the House andbecome a law before the session ends.

"

Pamphlets and newspapers containing ahistory of the billwere laid on every Sen-ator's desk this morning.. Friends of theroad willattempt to prevent the bill com-ing to a vote. \u25a0;

*''?.??'.)

• There was not a great deal of surprisemanifested yesterday morning when itwasunderstood that the Judiciary Committeeliikhrecommended the passage of the Goe-bel repeal bill by. a vote ;of 5 to 2—thesame is indicated in these dispatches somedays ago. Atthe opening of'the commit-tee meeting Senator Weissinger announcedthat General Basil W. Dake would appearbefore the committee to argue against therepeal. :. /{'•}'\u25a0.

General' Duke, as is well known, hasbeen on a good salary with the Louisvilleand Nashville for a dozen years ormorefor the sole purpose' of lookingafter theirinterests before the Legislature and the'Louisville City Council; His war'recordgives him peculiar advantages in workingwith the first named, though somewhatdiminished this year when the Repub-licans are on top.

The general was a brother-in-law of thefamous John Morgan and was his chieflieutenant. With the large and familiaracquaintance that he bad all over the Statewith the old Confederate soldiers, withwhom he is very popular, he could get al-most anything he wanted done by theformer legislatures, which were alwaysDemocratic. .

'Old Smoothing-iron" recognized thisfact and established an

"understanding

with the general .even, before he came toreside permanently in Kentucky, whichhas since been maintained, except wherethe L.&N.and General Echols' interests,were antagonized. His appearance forHuntington now indicates in some degreethat the L. & N. is using its in-fluence to prevent the passage of therepeal, though it may *be thathe is "on furlough"- from him and .work-ing for love of a fee of General Echols.His non-appearance before the committeedid not, however, leave Huntington 'with-out a . champion, .as Senator Weissingerplayed that role withas much earnestnessas he was capable of, though not withquite as much fire or emphasis as :the Gen-eral would have done.

-;,.."

Weissinger spoke with much show oflearning as to the "vested rights" thathad accrued under the charter accordingto the old constitution. He said little ofthe "vested wrongs" that had accrued tothe people of sister. States. His remarkswere on the line expected, and as far ascould be judged from the vote were thrownaway. ;' ."'••' 7"7It was intended that General Duke

should/appear before the committee, butItwas seen that the vote would be for thebill, and thought best to keep him at workon the;.outside. -' He

s arid St. John Boyleand the others were kept quite busy until'a

-late *hour with. the members of both

houses, and :afterward .held a privatemeeting in their headquarters at theCapitol Hotel. •';;'In the Senate Weissinger will.have the

assistance ofSenator Hayes from JeffersonCounty, near Louisville. Hayes is not soforcible a speaker as Weissinger,; and notmuch of a lawyer or parliamentarian, buthe is, from long experience.'a good button-holer and tactician, and

'will do a jgreat

deal against the bill. He has many friendsfrom different parts of the State? and % willwield nosmall influence with them. ., They willhave vigorous fighters againstthem., however, on both • sides of \u25a0\u25a0' theHouse. '.Goebel

-and • Fulton ,on? the one

side and Judge Landes on the «,:other arepretty :sure to have the majority of theSenate with them.

'

.?'"-?"

Senator Slige, from Louisville, will op-pose the bill\ vigorously. He is riot elo-quent, but very forcible, and \u25a0; his earnest-ness icarries conviction with it. ;He don'tbelong ;to the "tony" set, with GeneralEchols, Duke, Boige. Helm \u25a0.' and -; others,who rendezvous at the Pendennis Club inLouisville? and is rich enough to be inde-pendent, and they can't pick him upland'use ~\ him when .they need him.' He will

fightto the end. and is as stubborn as acornfield \mule, as evidenced in.his re-fusing the urgent entreaties of the Repub-lican manager of 'the Senatorial --fight tobreak his :promise to cast .no 1 vote forHunter till\u25a0 the successor to Wilson (de-ceased) should arrive and be seated, j Hadhe done so Hunter s would

-have been

elected two weeks ago.7 The act to incorporate the Southern Pa-cific Company was signed on St. Patrick'sday, March 17, 1884, by Governor J. Proctor. Knott, and the same day the • Legislatureadopted a resolution accepting an invita-tion to attend a mass-meeting to ;be heldin.Louisville on-

the 18th, to boom the ex-position and attend a banquet afterward.Governor Knott, his Secretary of? State,"Quinine Jim" McKenzie, and W. C/P.Breckinridge were among the speakers at'the meeting.

*Tbe whole Legislature went

down and they =\u25a0 had _>great \ time. It'-< hasbeen rumored here that 'Governor Knottand the other two named would be here tofight the repeal bill, but have not yet ap-peared on the scene. That Governor Knott,a constitutional lawyer of great experiencewho served for eight ;years on the Judi-ciary Committee of.the National Houseof {Representatives and § who made his"world-wide ", reputation as a humorist byhis great "Duluth" speech against thegrant to the -Northern Pacific Railroad,should :have ;signed such a monstrousmeasure as this Southern Pacific charter isa wonder to most people and they cannotsee how he can have the face to come herenow in its interests. His inconsistencyhas been brought to the light. : V-.'k..•'

And McKenzie, whose free quinine billcaused his name to.be a household wordall over the Mississippi Valleyand blessedby all to whom the chills and fever madequinine an ,article of daily diet, . shouldhave willingly lent a hand in fasteningsuch a curse as this charter on the peopleso "soon after ;ridding them of the othermonopoly is almost beyond belief: Thelay of the ground during the session of1884 is . well remembered here. ;ProctorKnott was Governor, Jim McKenzie Sec-retary ;of State, '\u25a0} James R. \u25a0 'HiridmanLieutenant-Governor and Charles Ofi'uttSpeaker of the House. Strong lobbieswere on the ground in the interest of vari-ous bills, one of which was to exempt

railroads to be built from, taxation for tenyears. General Duke was here in.the in-terest of the Louisville and Nashville roadagainst the bill. Another billwas similarto the Graviance \u25a0\u25a0 bill

-before this Legis-

lature to break, up the poolrooms. Over2000 bills were passed, and with his otherduties and ,entertaining his .' friends Gov-ernor Knottand Secretary McKenzie hadbut littletime to examine critically everybill sent to him for,approval.:\

'j..'

*7 Then he was :much

'inclined to do any-

thing asked by bis friends and the' Echolscrowd took advantage ;of this. Knott'soffice was the gathering place of a" selectcoterie of witty fellows, Duke, Dr. Watken,Dr. Rogers "

and others .from- Louisville,

Atilla Cox from Owen County, a memberof the House, and;

others from differentparts of the State. The Governor was agood raconteur and the soul of the partygenerally. Ho' was not entirely unsus-ceptible of flattery and was always in agood humor when ? he?' had told astory that caused applause and ilaughter.At this crisis he was usually ready to signanything \ that any member ot. the partylaid before. him, always requiring them,however,' to thoroughly explain the provi-sion contained therein. Itwas, probably,under such circumstances that

"the South-'crn Pacific bill was made a law." " "

But it was not the only instance .inwhich the' witty, good-natured Governorwas taken offhis guard. There was many.another 4vicious measure "slipped;throughhis hands in the same way.

jMADRID,Spai. ,Feb. 7.—This city was Ithe scene to-day?of a demonstration thatwould have required but very little tohaveturned it into a serious riot. As told inthese dispatches on Tuesday last, a num- jber of men hooted General Campos as he

'was driving.to his residence from the rail-way station on his return from Cuba.'/Anumber

'of. the hooters were arrested,

and one of \them'broke away,from a gen-

darme'who % had •" him in .-•.-. custody and

sought to make his escape. The gendarmesfired twice |at him and killed 'hifri.'? Theshooting caused great excitement, and theGovernment *,was

*bitterly condemned by

the Republicans. This afternoon the fune-ral fof jthe victim took place and was at-tended » by7anienormous ;crowd.

The Government anticipated trouble,and there was a strong display of gen-darmes who, however, appeared to beafraid to interfere with the .procession inany way,lest they provoke a:riot, conse-quently the crowd > shouted titself hoarseuntil the cemetery was reached, when thegreat

'assemblage Jstood with;bared heads

until the funeral rites had been completed.The greater portion of the crowd then dis-persed, but \u25a0. 2000 •;of ;its number againformed in line, and

"'marched '.unmolested

back to the royal palace, in1front of -whichthey gathered unmolested and shouted,"Death to the King!" "Death to theQueeniRegent!" and "Long live. the re-public!" ;, .*-

Even the guards who are always on dutyabout the palace seemed to- be intimidatedby the sullen temper of the mob, and maderiot1the slightest attempt to drive themaway. After partly \.venting ? their

'anger

against the youthful Kingand his mother,the? crowd:marched to. the residence "ofGeneral Campbs,' where a similar demon-stration of disapproval was made.

The apathy of the police; which was un-questionably due to fear, was significant.So far as knownthe oivilauthorities madeno request of the military for aid:in;dis-persing the crowd, the members of whichdid as they pleased until nightfall. ..

CINCINNATI,Ohio, Feb. 7.—The chainof evidence is being more tightly boundabout the Fort Thomas murderers as timeprogresses. The admissions of participa-.tion' in jvarious ,phases of\ the Icrime [byScott.

"Imet Walling there," said he, "andtook one of, the valises. Walling took theother. (

the drug or when. . :-..*.This morning Walling hinted that a doc-

tor of this city was mixed up in the mur-der.;Atnoon he was asked to give thedoctor's name.
