GOLDEN says BE WILL TALK itj j e n All He Knows About the Assassination of Goebel. SPI'RNS TO BE CALLED COWARD grid Statement of Young Sergeant Creates a Sensation Through out State of Kentucky. \ special from Lexington, Ky., sots: Sergeant F. Wharton Golden, tll e man alleged to have made incrimi nating statements in the Goebel mur der ca se, arrived in the city Tuesday night in company with his attorney, Smith Hayes. They came from Win chester. TLeir movements have been kept in the dark and their presence was not known until several hours after their arrival. They did not register at the Phoenix hotel, but it is stated Golden went through the rear door of the Phoe nix and subsequently to hia room in the hotel. Another story is that they were met Lit a carriage and driven to the home of a Goebel Democrat. As the hotel clerk knew nothing of their arrival ef forts to find Golden proved futile. Many rumors aro in circulation. One is that Golden is trying to get away from Goebel influences, but he is clot ely watched. It is improbable that he has given them the slip. . Another rumor is that he was in the citv for further conference with Goe bel attorneys. The stories growing out of the con ference between Sergeant F. Wharton Golden, of the Barbourville company of state militia, and the attorneys who are managing the investigation of the assassination of Governor Goebel have caused a sensation throughout the state. Golden will be placed on the stand by the prosecution in the trial of persons already arrested for alleged complicity in the assassination, but in formation as to the exact nature of the testimony he is expected to give is lacking. “I will do all I can for my friends all the time,” Golden is reported as saying, “but I must first he true to myself. When the time comes I will tell all I know. Whatever else may be said about me I do not think I can be accused of being a liar, a coward or a Democrat, and I want it distinct ly understood that I am not here un der guard.” The story is published that Golden bas divulged to the attorneys the name of the man who fired the shots that killed Goebel. The person men turned is a mulatto, who formerly lived at Winchester, was prominent in tbe French-Eversole feud and is known as a dead shot. This man is now supposed to be in the wilds of one of the mountain counties. Evidence that he was in Frankfort fit the time of the assassination was found among papers taken from W. , Fulton, a clerk in the auditor’s of fice, when the latter was arrested a J'eek or so ago on a warrant charging nim with being an accessory to the murder. Among those papers were receipts w board bills amounting to about •• 00, incurred by eighteen men who ''tre in Frankfort for sometime he re and at the time Goebel was shot. , D one of those receipts the name of ce mulatto mentioned is given. The receipt in this case is for money re cced from John Perkins by Bettina idman for the board of three men. tr hins is a porter about the state bouse. GOTHAM'S BIG DEBT.

REWARD FOR LYNCHERS. Governor Candler of Georgia Wants Members of Cobb County Hob Punished. Governor Candler of Georgia is de termined that the perpetrators of the crime at Marietta, last Saturday night, in which the negro John Bailey was practically shot to pieces, shall be brought to justice. Monday afternoon the chief execu tive, in compliance with request of Cobb county officers, issued notice of a reward of $2OO for the arrest with evidence to convict, of the first mem ber of the lynching party, aud $lOO for each subsequent arrest. The mob which took Bailey out of the hands of the law is believed to have been 150 strong, and while it is not on record that any lynching mob was ever captured entirely, should 100 of the lynchers be located and con victed the cost to the state would be $10,200. The county officers of Cobb, or at least some of them, requested the governor to issuo a large reward for the lynchers in the hope of at least bringing the leaders of the party to justice. The governor immediately complied with the request, expressing in plain language his condemnation of the work of the mob. The sheriff of the county and his deputies are nuderstood to be bard at work in attempting to discover the perpetrators of the deed, though un der the law they cannot receive ths reward, as they are sworn to do their duty regardless of money offers. Following is the order of Governor Candler providing for a reward for the apprehension of the Cobb county lynch ers: March, 19, 1900. —Whereas, official information has been received at this department that on the night of March 17, 1900, in the county of Cobb, some unknown persons committed assault with intent to murder upon the person of John Bailey, colored, by forcing an entrance to the jail and taking there from the said Bailey and shooting him; and Whereas, the malignity of the crime and the promotion of justice require that the said unknown persons be brought to justice for tbe crime with which they stand charged; it is, there fore Ordered, That tbe secretary of state record and publish a proclamation of fering a reward of $2OO for the appre hension and delivery, with proof suffi cient to convict of the first of said un known persons to the sheriff of Cobb county, and an additional reward of $lOO for each additional one of said unknown persons apprehended and convicted of said crime. A. D. Candler, Governor. ALLEGED CONFESSION Of Suspected Goebel Assassin Stirs Frankfort—Trials Are Post poned By Judge Moore. Caleb Powers, John Davis and Wil liam IT. Culton, charged with being accessories to ths murder of William Goebel, were arraigned at Frankfort, Monday, for trial before Judge Moore. The commonwealth was not ready and by agreement the trials were set for Friday. Ex-Governor John Young Brown made a demand for a list of witnesses for the commonwealth, but this was refused by the prosecution on the ground that publicity might cause some of them to avoid being sum moned. Jfews of an alleged confession of F. Wharton Golden, of Barbourville, in regard to the assassination'of William Goebel, reached Frankfort during the day and produced a sensation. Golden was formerly a guard at the penitentiary in Frankfort under the Republican administration and is well known. It developed that the police and detectives have been watching his movements since the day of the assas sination on the theory that he knew something about it. Commonwealth Attorney Franklin and County Attorney Pohlsgrove de cline to discuss the alleged confession, as did others who are assisting in the prosecution, though one went so far as to say Mr. Golden will be one of the most important witnesses introduced by the state. • Some regret that the matter became public so soon, as they fear it will not only make it dangerous for him to re turn to his home at Barbourville. ATLANTA POSTOFFICE BILL. Senate raises the Measure amt Progpeet* In House Are Bright. The Atlanta public building bill was called from the calendar in the senate Monday afternoon and unanimously passed that body. The bill carries an appropriation of $500,000 for enlarging and otherwise improving the present federal building in Atlanta. The bill will be reported by the house committee as soon as Colonel Livingston returns from Georgia, and the prospects are favorable that the bill will soon become a law, and the work on the building will begin during the summer. REFUSED TO CONCUR House Does Not With Sen ate On Porto Rican Bill. CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM Imliti On Original Provision —Democrats, However. Were Willing to Avoid Further Delay. A Washington special says: The house Monday refused to concur in the senate amendments to the Porto Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup ported a motion to concur on the ground that it would avoid further de lay in extending relief to the inhabi tants of the island, but tbe Republi cans stood firmly behind Chairmau Cannon in his demand that the house should insist upon its original provis ion to appropriate not only the money collected on Porto Rican goods up to January Ist, but all sutißequent mon eys collected or to be collected. When the Porto Rican appropria tion bill was called up Mr. Cannon moved that the house non-concur in the senate amendments and Mr. Mc- Rae, of Arkansas, moved concurrence. Mr. Cannon explained the changes made in the bill by the senate. Mr. Mcßae said that the essential difference between the two bills was that the houso affirmed the right of the United to impose the Diugley rates against Porto Rico, whereas the senate provision upon this subject was indefinite. Members on both sides, be said, were agreed that the duties collected on Porto Rican goods should be re turned, the Democrats taking the po sition that there should be absolute i free trade between the island and the United States. (Democratic applause.) Mr. Bell, of Colorado, also advo cated concurrence in the senate amendments. Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, and Mr. McCleaiy, of Minnesota, advo cated Mr. Cannon’s motion, declaring that the Porto Rican tariff bill pro posed to treat the people of the island better than the people of any territory of the United States were ever treated. Mr. Swanson of Virginia denounced the Porto Rican tariff bill as “infa i mous” and said the pending bill to give back the duties collected under the Dingley law was an attempt to su gar-coat the outrage. The power to fix the duties on goods coming into and going from this country was tho i power exercised by England prior to ; tbe revolution an dwas one of the main reasons why the colonies threw off the | yoke. The motion to concur was lost, 86 to 116, a strict party vote, except that Mr. Thayer, Democrat, of Massachu setts, voted with the Republicans. The motion to nou-concur then pre vailed without division. The speaker 1 appointed Messrs. Cannon, Moody and Mcßae conferees on the part of ! the house. ROOT IN CHARLESTON.

Senator Beveridge, Republican, of Indiana, offered the following substi tute for the Porto Rican tariff bill, in the Senate Monday: “All articles coming into the United States from Porto Rico or going into Porto Rico from the United States shall be admitted free of duty, but this act shall not be construed as ex tending the legislation of the United States or any part thereof over Porto Rico, aud it is hereby declared that the legislation of the United States is not extended over Porto Ri'jo.” MAY STAY IN ARMY. General Wlieeler’n Resignation I* Held In Abeyance By President. It was semi-officially stated in Wash ington Tuesday that President McKin ley will not accept the resignation of General Joseph Wheeler, bnt that the Alabamian was offered the command ership of the lakes at Chicago. It is now generally regarded by friends of General Wheeler in the city that he will not urge the acceptance of his resignation from the army provided ho is given a transfer that is agree able. It is no longer a secret that he left Manila ru account of the attitude of General Otis toward him. Audacity of a Burtlar. While n burglar was visiting the flat of Mrs. H. L.
