Brown-< ourt Had Ruled AgaliiHt the Defense. ’!ust Win” Wrote Rowers to Adjutant General Collier Plans \\ re Also on Foot to Kill Demo crH(|c Members of the Legislature. Georgetown. Ky., July 23.—Several new an i essential features were developed to day in the trial of Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the assassination of Gov. William Goebel. In addition to the testimony, which was uniformly interest ing. the session was enlivened by a sharp pa rage between tho court and ex-Gov. -young Brown, 6enior counsel for the de fense. Spectators were scarce when the trial was resumed. The prosecution gave no tice that they would excuse a half-dozen persons summoned as witnesses for that j?ide. Among those excused was Chief Ike Golden, brother of Scrgt. Golden. Lieut. John Ricketts, an officer in the Barboursville militia company' of which John Powers was captain, was the first witness. lie went to Frankfort J in. 25 with a trainload of mountaineers. Before the train reached Frankfort witness said the men were told to report to W. H. Cul ton for rations. The men were armed with guns and pistols. Arriving at Frank fort tin y took possession of the agricultu ral building and stacked their guns there. Youtsey Told Him All About It. W itness said each morning a crowd of from 300 to 600 mounted men occupied the yard in front of the executive building. He saw Youtsey frequently and talked with him the day before the assassina tion. Youtsey said Goebel had to be put out of the way, and he (Youtsey) had SIOO which he would give for that purpose, nnd knew ten or twelve others who would also contribute to such a fund. Youtsey also said Goebel could be killed from the executive building; that the assassin could escape through the basement and never be detected. He said his job depended on Goebel bing killed. Fifteen minutes be fore the assassination, the witness saw Youtsey and the latter told him he wanted twenty-five or thirty men to accompany him to the executive building. Continuing, tbe witness said: “Youtsey put us inside the executive building near the stairs. He told us some thing was going to happen and we must remain there. When he started through the hall I left and went into a private residence across the street from the execu tive building. It was but a few minutes when I heard the shots. I did not know’ any of the men whom I had left at the foot of the stairs in the executive build ing.” The men whom Youtsey placed were just outside the office of tbe secretary of state. Witness said he lef-t because he did not want to be present in case of “a kill ing ” Cross-examined, the witness said that when Youtsey placed the men in the hall, he told them that as soon as “something happened ’ a man would come down the steps and go away l with them. Witness said that when Y'outsey left the men he went in the direction of the Governor’s office. Excepted to Court** Remark*. R. E. Coombes, private secretary to Appellate Justice Hobson, next witness, told of a conversation between two moun taineers in the house lobby a dey or two before the assassination in which they spoke of “picking them out,” mean* ing the Democrats. During the cross-examination of Coombes ex-Gov. Brown objected to the testimony that mountaineers went to Frankfort armed, as the right to carry arms was a constitutional privilege. The court took issue on this point end said that the iaw does not permit crowds of armed men not in the military service end not called out in the regular way, to gather for any purpose. Brown filed an exception to remarks of court and repeated a previous state ment as to what the defense expected to prove as to the purpose of the organiza tions of the mountaineer excursion. ' Yes,'’ interrupted Judge Cantrill, “and the court objects and ex-Jepts to the con tinued reiteration by counsel of things which the court thinks are meant for spec tators in the courtroom and not for the court." “We object to that statement of the court,” came from several attorneys for the defense. Both the court and counsel showed irritation. "We >lust Win,” Sold Power*. Assistant Adjutant General Murray a letter which he found on file In his office at Frankfort, having been left Jherc at the time of the evacuation of Taylor’s troops. It was from Powers to Adjt. Gen. Col lar. dated Jan. 22, in which Powers says: "We have undertaken a serious matter. We must win. We must have these men and guns." Another signed by John and Caleb Pow €rs to Gen. Collier on the same date said: "You are acquainted with the fact that fapt. Hows is a Democrat. He has the keys to the armory and refused to give them to us. The lieutenants are all right. Please notify Capt. Hows to de liver the keys to Lieut. Gibson." A teipg ra phic code and key, found in the Adjutant General’s office was also read. Wade H. Watts, colored, one of the Jan itors in the adjutant's office, said that on Saturday before the shooting, the day of the Von Meter-Berry contest. Represent- a tive Lilly came into the office and one °f the mien told him that a signal shot to lie fired In the House; that the Republican members should not rise from their neats; that the Democrats would rise up in the excitement and the men in the lobbies would shoot them down. Ex-Gov. Brown of the defense asked that this part of the testimony be expung ed on the ground that the identity of the said to have mmle the statement not established. Tii' court ruled that the evidence wax competent. Immediately after the shooting, witness * nd Henry Youtsey ran Into the basement on#l out. coming from the steps leading up to the Secretary of State’s office.

Norfolk, Va., July 23.-A tragic death, surrounded by strange circumstances, oc curred at the Monticelio Hotel last night. The dead man is George Allison Brown of Baltimore, about 45 year* of age and well connected in that city. Brown registered at the Monticelio Fri day evening and was assigned a room on the sixth floor of the hotel. Saturday morning a woman giving her name as Mrs. Gray’’ arrived in the city from Baltimore and with a nurse, who accom panied her. registered at the Monticelio. as from “Virginia.” She w’as assigned a room on the third floor of the hotel. Saturday afternoon Dr.. Stanley H. Graves was called to the hotel to attend Airs. Gray, whom he found to be in a critical condition, suffering from some vi olent poison, which subsequently prove! to be morphine and cocaine. Brown, who was found in her room, said that the wo man had poisoned herself. After heroic measures the patient be gan to revive. Upon Dr. Graves leaving the woman ro go to a telephone. Brown was allowed in the room with her alone, and upon the doctor’s return the patient’s condition was found to be worse, but she was again brought out of danger. Yesterday the woman left the city for Baltimore. Last night at 8 o’clock Brown was iound dead in his bed at the hotel as the result of morphine and, cocaine poisoning. Coroner Newton and a Jury to-dav reached a verdict to-dey that Brown came to his death from morphine and cocaine poison administered by his own hands. Brown is said to hove been a brother of ti'O jate Dr. R. R. Brown of Baltimore. The r*ody was forwarded to Baltimore this evening. It is said the woman i® a sister of a Presbyterian missionary now in China. She came to Norfolk, it is said, with the intention of marrying Brown. When she learned that Brown was a victim of the morphine habit, she refused to marry him and left for Baltimore. FUSION SOMEWHAT IN DOUBT. Situation in Kansas Not Altogether a Promising, One. Fort Scott, Kan., July 23.—A vague un certainty characterizes the probable ac tion of the Democratic, Populist and Sil ver Republican consent ions, scheduled to meet here to-morrow. While there is a strong influence work ing for the fulfilment of the agreement of the state committees, made months ago as to a distribution of the offices in otder to effect fusion, there Is also an opposition of considerable proportions to that arrangement This latter is caueed by the candidacy of a number of men whose nomination must necessarily be a violation of the agreement. An open conference of Democrats and Populists was held to-day, at which a general feeling in favor of standing by the agreement was displayed. But Chairman Riddle of the Populist commit tee suggests that the Democrats nominate Hon. John Martin as their candidate for associate justice. Martin Is not a Demo crat and this office goes to the Demo crats under the agreement. If the Demo crats nominate him an enthusiastic fus ion will be effected without doubt. If they refuse the agreement may be broken, and in that case an entirely new plan will have to be arranged. NULLIFIES THE QUARANTINE. Mobile Admits Fruit Vessels Sliut Out by New Orleaus. New Orleans, July 23.—A peculiar con dition arises as a result of resent sickness in Port Limon, Costa Rica. Dr. Will H. Woods, who represents the Louisiana board at Port Limon, cabled that there was one and several suspected cases of fever there. The health board noti fied the fruit ships that they would be compelled to lighter their cargo nine miles below the city, involving a cost of an ad ditional thousand dollars on each ship. The United Fruit Company therefore ordered its vessels to Mobile. The Louis iana board explained the case to the Ala bama authorities, but the latter are rep resented at Port Limon by the marine hospital surgeon, who denies emphatically that there is any fever there, the Mobile bay board accordingly refused to quaran tine. As Mobile is only a few hours from here by rail this practically nullifies the Louis iana precautionary measures and creates a unique situation. CAPT. BVA3S TALKS ON CHINA. Say* Partition Can Only He Pre vented by United States. St. Louis, July 33.—Capt. Robley D. Evans, U. S. N., who has been taking baths at Hot Springs, Ark., for two months, passed through this city to-day en route to Washington. While at Union station he talked freely about the Chi nese situation, and among other things said: "In my estimate the great Powers of the earth are facing the most critical sit uation that has arisen in modern history. "I do not believe the talk that China may become a world power of its own force. It stands in Immediate danger of dismemberment, and the partition of the empire can only be prevented by the United Slates. I approve of the policy of the administration as now outlined. This country cannot afford to stand by and see China divided up among the Eu ropan governments without making a pro test that will startle the world.” ARE BRANDED AS FRAUDS. Parties Pretending to Represent the Navy Department. Norfolk, Va., July 23.—The commandant of the Norfolk navy yard this afternoon sent out a statement that a number of per sons in Noith Carol.na, Virginia and Alary, land have been of late representing them selves as government agents for the em ployment of laborers and mechanics In the Norfolk navy yard.

TAMMiNY ENUNCIATES THE DEMO CRATIC POLICY'. Strong R(‘solutions Adopted on the Motion of Richard Croker-The> Denounce Trusts, Imperialism ami Militarism in the .Most Forceful Terms—Republienns Charged With Insincerity nud Tlieir Attitude Strongly Denounced. New York. July 23.—At a meeting to night of the Tammany Hall General Com miitee a series bf resolutions, on jhe mo tion of Richard Croker, was adopted. They saa': “Tammany Hall believes in the suprem acy of the American, flag, wherever It floats, but that it should float nowhere as the symbol of liberty and civil servitude combined; for that is a combination which can work only dishonor to the flag and danger to American Institutions. “It believes in that character of terri torial expansion which was favored by the fathers of Democracy; not expansion by the shedding of American blood on soil where the constitution can never follow the flag, but in that which has added to the glory and proseprity of our Union, not in that which Is to the Union a source of disgrace and disaster. “The Republican party, while profess ing a desire to carry freedom to distant strangers of strange habits and of uncet taln civilization, is eatisfled to leave American citizens on American soil in bondage to the trusts and monopolies be gotten of Republican legislation; for th:n is nothing less than a condition of slavery which fetters industrial energy, and gives to the favored few the fruits resulting from the labor of the many. “It is conceded that the nation has Its ‘mission’ to carry out; but its mission at home remains incomplete while it is pos sible under national legislation for 10 per cent, of the population to hold the other 90 per cent, of the people In abso lute subjection through the operation of trusts and monopolies. “Let us not wait too long in the vain expectation that this evil will cure itself. The time has come for the nation to act. Tammany Hall, repeating the promise contained in the national platform of its party, pledges itself to on ‘unceasing war fare in nation, state nnd city against private monopolies in every form.’ Against War of Conquest. “Tammany Hall condemns the w’aging of a war for conquest as un-American in principle and false to the pledge of the nation os given by the President of the United States. It condemns the uncon stitutional action of the President in car rying on a war for conquest without the authorization of Congress. "Inspired by Its forbidden alliances with the British empire, the Republican admin istration has reached out for colonial de pendencies, the control of which means the last step In the direction of imperial ism and military government by the United States. That accomplished, there will he nothing but name and location to distinguish the American government from the monarchies of Europe. The country of Washington, the republic of Jefferson, the union of Lincoln, will have given way to the glory of Ihe American empire: and the standing army, the curse of European civilization—the scourge of European homes, will have come to blight the homes of America and to dominate her civilization, "From every country In Europe, to es cape the tyranny of the standing army, millions of our countrymen have sought citizenship and homes In America. Amer ican fathers and mothers have a right to the companionship of their sons in the peacefulness of home. Their sons, though ready to yield up their lives, If need be, for home, have s right to the pursuit of their own happiness unmolested by war fare which is neither for the honor of the flag nor the security of home. "tint ihe future of America’s young man. hood is limited by the Republican princi ple to either military service on distant fields of doubtful glory, or to n lifetime of useless struggle against the killing com petition of trusts and monopoly. Republican InsJnoerffy. "The Insincerity of Republican declara tions favoring the propagation of free dom and the uplifting of humanity in other lands is revealed by ihe contradic tory attitudes of he present administra tion toward the Filipinos on the one hand and the Boers of South Africa on the other—a war of criminal aggression against the former In the name of free dom; silent and cowering In the shadow of England’s throne, while the freedom of a sister republic ebbs away in its own blood. "The Issue* of the present campaign are beyond the consideration of dollars and cents. They go to the honor of the nation—lts proud place In ihe estimation of the whole world—lts fidelity to that conservative American, which, rooted deep In the past, alone can guide the na tion's future. "The democracy of the nation stands for national honor, national conservatism, national Justice. Tammany Hall, faithful to tile principles of democracy and su bordinating all things to Democratic suc cess closes Rs ranks, and rails for pa triotic unity In the name of Democratic triumph."' WERE ALL RIGHT ON JULY 18. Continued from First Page. made. He does not say to whom the dis patch of Prince Tuan was addressed; and it is to a certain extent at variance with the dispatch of Mr. Conger of that date, describing the legation as being under Are at that time.” The officials of the state department, after considering Conaul General Good now’s dispatch, express the belief that a mistake has been made in the transmis sion of the message and that the nanw Tuan should have been Yuan, governor of Shan Tung. SENT ANOTHER MESSAGE. Government Trying to Remove All Doubt us to Conger. Washington, July 23.—There is reason to believe that the government is again using every effort to secure communica tion with Minister Conger, and this time to get an anstver from our minister which will be so conclusive as to remove every shadow of doubt. In this connection, it was reported to day that Minister Wu yesterday sent an other cipher cable dispatch to Minister Conger, but there Is strong disinclina tion in official quarters to discuss the various seps being taken while they are still in an inconclusive form. GRANT AND BARRY WILL GO. Two More Brigadiers to Serve In Chinn ! nder Chaffee. Washington, July 23.—Although the or ders have not yet been issued, it is pretty generally understood in military circles that Brig. Gen. Frederick P. Grant, U. 3. V., and Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Barry have been selected for assignment to duty with the military division in China. Their assignment, together with that of Brig. Gen. James H. Wilson, V. S. V., al r aay annour.c. and. will give MaJ. Gen. i. nar, fee, commander-in-chief, three general officers of recognized ability to assist him in the management of military operations in China. The transport Grant is expected to ar rive at Nagasaki early this week, possibly to-morrow or next day. She left San Fran cisco on the first instant with Maj. Gen. Chaffee, two troops of the Sixth cavalry and a battalion of marines. Orders have gone forward for the Grant to proceed direct from Nagasaki to Taku with the utmost speed, stopping only long enough to take on coal. The officials of the war department calculate that Gen. Chaffee and his reinforcements will join Lieut. Col. Cooiidge and the Ninth Infan try at Tien Tsin before the end of the month. Ii also is expected that the troops from Manila, consisting of two battalions of the Fourteenth Infantry and a battery of the Fourteenth Infantry and a battery of artillery, will arrive at Taku to-morrow or Wednesday at the latest. The arrival of these troops will give Gen. Chaffee an effective fighting force, including marines already there, of about 4,000 men. One of the first duties of Gen. Chaffee on arriving at the seat of the trouble in China will be to report to the war depart ment the prevailing conditions and his views as to the best course of military procedure for the rescue of the beleaguer ed ministers in Pekin. LEADER OF RELIEF COLUMN. if Not a Russian General It May lie Japanese Field Marshal. Washington, July 23.—1 tis unknown at the state department who is to command the International relief column on its march to Pekin, which begins the end of the month. News dispatches of late date have as signed the command to one of two Rus sian generals—Dragomiroff and Llnevieh. The state department knows nothing of this, but has been assuming that in the possible event of the failure of the inter nationals to agree among themselves on any other basis, the Japanese field mar shal, Nodzu, would command by virtue of seniority of rank. Itemey Going; to Tien Tsin. Washington, July 23.—The Bureau of Navigation this morning received the fol lowing cablegram from Admiral Remey: ‘Taku, July 22.—Going Tien Tsin to-day to look into matters, leaving senior offi cer here. Newark gone to Nagasaki for docking.” ASSAILANT LYNCHED. Continued from First Page, rope around Clark’s neck was thrown over the limb of an immerse tree by Miss Priest’s brother. The negro wai thrown across the back of a horse and the animal was led out from under him. The body fell probably three feet and as It dangled in the air, the report of a hundred tire arms rang out and the quivering flesh of the negro was pierced by many bullets. Just as the work was finished the De catur militia arrived at Huntsville. They were telephoned that they were too late. Work at the mills in Dallas was sus pended for the day. .Will Prosecute Lynchers. Birmingham, Ala., July 23 —Gov. John ston , who is at his home in this city, stated to-night that he would exert every effort to bring to Justice the men who composed the mob that lynched Elijah Clark, the rapist, at Huntsville to-day. Gov. Johnston instructed Judge Speake of ihet circuit to convene court at 3 o'- clock and impanel a Jury for the trial of Clark. M MAY BE AN INSURANCE WAR. Law Against Com fii tin 11 on Now In Effect In Louisiana. New Orleans, July 23.—The insurance companies and agents operating in Louis iana to-day withdrew from the South eastern: Tariff Association on account of the passage by the Legislature of the anti compact law. This does away with the board of under writers, their system of Inspection, rules and regulations, end even with the ral vage corps, which was supported by the Insurance companies. The law prohibits all agreement as to rates among the In surance companies. It Is expected to lead to a rate war. On the other hand the abolition of the board of underwriters and the rules and relugattons Insisted on by it will greatly reduce the lines of In surance. Several companies will take no cotton risks. They are not longer protected, and nearly all of the companies will reduce the amount of their cotton risks. Thinking Food. Grape-Nuts The... Brain Food. LADIES, STOP HERE!

New York, July 23.—The hearing in the case of the Gay nor* and Benjamin D. Greene, looking toward their removal to Georgia for trial for alleged conspiracy with ex-Capt. Carter in connection with the Savannah harbor frauds, was contin ued betfore United States Commissioner Shields* this morning. George M. Gibson, of the firm of Watson & Gibson, the first witness, stated his firm had had transactions with Capt. Oberlii; M. Carter in purchasing securities for him. Mr. Gibson, identified a check drawn by Capt. Carter to the order of Watson & Gibson for the sum of $r,493.7T> in- payment for certain securities purchased for him. A copy of the transactions of Carter with the firm, as shown by the books of the latter, was allowed in evidence. It showed that in 1892 and 1893 Carter had purchased over $19,000 worth of bonds. Orrln S. Judd, accountant of the Knick erbocker Trust Company, identified sev en checks drawn by Capt. Greene. A copy from the books of the Knickerbocker Truat Company of the. account of B. I>. Greene was put in evidence. Mr. Judd said there must have been other checks drawn by Capt. Greene, but they had un doubtedly been returned to him. It came out from the testimony of the witnesses that in July, 1897. Capt. Greene had purchased $150,000 United States 6 per cent, bonds, paying for all in one check. Adjournment was then taken to 11 o’clock to-morrow and it was announced when the hearing closes to-morrow after noon it will not be resumed again for two weeks. This time is taken to give the de fense a chance to compare and look over the papers and books that have been put in evidence. When the hearings are re sumed two weeks hence it will "be only a few days when another adjournment will be necessary on account of Commissioner Shields taking his summer vacation. OUTBREAK OF UOXER TROUBLE. How Capt. McCalla Responded to the Appeal for Aid. Boston. July 23.—The American Board has received a letter from Rev. George D. Wilder, dated Tien Tsin, June 12, which gives details concerning the outbreak of the Boxer movement and makes known the readiness and determination with which Capt. McCalla of the United States navy responded to the call for aid. Rev. Mr. Wilder says: "The Boxer movement has reached a climax. Murder and arson are filling the province from Kalgan lo Lin China, apparently with Tleii Tsin, pg kln and Pao Ting Fu as a great central triangle, where the fired* hottest. In the triangle many minor out rages vr.v commit lead on Catholics and Protestants durlnj May and greet num bers of Posers assembled.

"We reported to the consul and he sent for troops. The Japanese landed a few on Tuesday afternoon and the Newark sent us 115 marines and blue Jacked* and two machine guns and a 3-lnch cannon under the energetic lead of grand old Capt. McCalla. The railway refusing to bring them, they came on a tug and lighter, reaching us Tuesday night. All nationalities gave them a rousing recep tion. Their prompt arrival doubtless pre vented an attack on the settlement by thousands of Boxers. In two or three days other nationalities arrived and Tien Tsin was protected. But, alas, for those in the interior, after the train stopped, frantic appeals came for protection to the ministers at Pekin.

LIF*F>7VyAN BROTH the various consuls here had a stormy meeting. The French and Russian rep resentatives bitterly opposed sending troops to relieve Pekin. Consul Cares (British) held steadily for that action, bricked by the American and Japanese consuls. Finally Capt. McCalla said: " ‘We have talked a good deal. Now I will tell you what I will do. Our minister telegraphs that he is in danger. It mat ters not what other* do or do not do. My entire force of blue jackets will take a train and start for Pekin to-morrotv morning.’ "The British.

Ferocious Indian Could Not Stand Imprisonment. Vlnlta, J. TANARUS., July 23.—After a long period of Imprisonment, which he en dured more like a ferocious beast than a human being. Geronlmo, one of the moist bloodthirsty Indians that ever figured in history, ha* gone stark mad. He is a prisoner at Fort Sill, O. T. It cost the government a million dollars and hundreds of lives before he was safe ly landed behind iron bars. Deprived of his liberty as a punishment for his crimes, he could not stand the confine ment. For fourteen years he has been a prisoner of war—4he last ten at Fort Bill. In March, 1886 after four years of con stant chase, Gen. Miles and the late MaJ. Gen. Lawtoii cornered Geronlmo in Four Peak*. mr Prescott, Arts. After months of starvation and after all hope of cutting their way through the cordon of iroops surrounding them had gone, the Indian* raised the white flag end surrendered. They were sent to the military post at Mount Vernon. Ala., but the climate there did not agree with them, many dying with consumption. A’bout ten years ogo Geronlmo and his surviving braves were removed by the government to Fort SUL Heat All Women's Records.
