Georgetown, Ky., July 27.—Sergt. F.
Wharton Golden, the prosecution's star
witness, was placed in the box to-day in
the trial of Caleb Powers, charged with
complicity in the assassination of Gov.
Goebel.
Unless pres.nt plans are changed the
state will rest its case to-morrow at the
conclusion of Golden’s testimony. His
statements to-day did not vary materially
lrom those made by him at the examining
trial of Powers in Frankfort.
W. Hampton, a Republican member of
the L gislature from Power’s home coun
ty, preceded Golden on the stand. He
swore that Gov. Taylor wanted the Re
publican members to start a fight in the
House and assured him that he, as Gov
ernor, would back them up.
Golden started out by telling that he was
a guard at the Frankfort penitentiary un
der the Republican administration from
1896 to 1898 and was an applicant for as
sistant adjutant general under Gov. Tay
lor. Caleb Powers came to him in Jan
uary and asked him to go to the moun
tains and get a crowd of mountan feud
ists to bring to Frankfort. Powers ac
companied witness part of the way on the
trip.
At Barbourville. Golden saw Powers and
Charles Finley. Finley said:
"We will go down there and petition the
Legislature and if they don’t drop that
thing we will kill them.”
Powers, who was present, spoke approv
ingly. Powers and witness went to Scott
Green of Knox county and to ask him to
bring some men for the Frankfort trip.
Green could not go and said:
"If 1 were to go I would kill Goebel and
end this business.”
Gave Voutsey the Key*.
On the day before the shooting witness
saw John Powers give Youtsey the keys
to the Secretary of State’s office and later
Powers told him they had procured two
negroes. Mason Hockersmith and "Tallow
Dick" Combs to kill Goebel. Witness told
Powers this must not be done, os it would
ruin the party. After this Youtsey came
to Powers again and said something about
the key. Powers gave him another key.
On the morniqg of the assassination,
witness, Caleb and John Powers and Wal
ter Day went to Louisville. Before leav

Siat 's office. Gov. Taylor was there, as
wer. several men from the mountains. E.

Governor to call out the troops, but the
Gow-rnor replied:
"Y'ou all must act first.”

FIGHT WITH MAYO INDIANS.
Government Troops llmlly Routed
nod Lost Heavily.
New Orleans. July 27.—News has reach
ed this city of a desperate battle between
the Mexican troops and the Yucatan In
dians, in which the government troops
were badly routed and lost heavily.
This Is the engagement which has been
awaited with the greatest anxiety In
Mexico City. The Mexicans have been
chasing the Mayo Indians in Yucatan for
several months, but could never get them
into a straight fight. It had been a guer
illa warfare up to the present time, when
the meeting of the two armies took place
at a point about fifteen miles
out of San Luis, the capital of
the Indian tribe. Details of
th' battle have not yet reached this port
as news from Yucatan must come via Be
lize, British Honduras.
Gen. Bravo commanded the Mexican
troops and it is said that he had 3,000 men.
The Mayo Indians numbered 6,000 warriors
ar.d It was discovered that they w’ere
armed with the most modern equipments
of war.

SEEKING FEMALE SIFFHAGE.
Miss Anthony Writes n Letter to Ne
gro Conference.
Montgomery, Ala., July 27.—The Nation
al Negra Conference to-day heard a let
ter from Susan B. Anthony on the sub
ject of “Woman Suffrage." She says
emancipation did not give freedom to the
negro women, but simply’ transferred them
from a white master to a negro husband
whom she must support. Miss Anthony
urges the addition of the sixteenth amend
ment, providing for suffrage regardless
of sex.
At the night session resolutions were
offered looking to the purifying and beau
tifying of the home; asking Ite President
to recommend the. addition <f* an amend
ment to the constitution, fnat no state
shall disfranchise anyone S' years of age
on property or qualifications,
and favoring female suffrige.
The declaration of prinvp.es urges strict
economy: education of ,/ntldren; to avoid
debt and mortgages, v stay out of the
courts; to cultivate pjjtflc relations with
the whites: discoura/e excursions; con
demns outrages of /.* descriptions, and
disapproves of the wholesale deportation
of negroes. y

London, July 27, 11:59 p. m.—The war of

from Lord Roberts:
’’French and Hutton continued their
pursuit on July 25. The former crossed
Ollphant's river and from the high ground
on the east bank he could see Middleburg
and the enemy retiring in great disorder.
The main road north was blocked for sev
eral miles with horsemen and wagons. The
enemy’s rear was then seven miles north.
The mounted force were still west of the
river. Night was closing in; the rain was
falling in torrents, and so it was ompossi
ble to follow. The night was terrible. In
addition to the rain a strong east wind
made the bivouac most uncomfortable.
One officer, I regret to say, died of expos
ure, and the mortality among the mules
and oxen was great. The men made light
of hardships and were in famous spirits
when I saw them yesterday.

so far as I know, did not suffer loss. lie

Wet had captured at different times and
whom he was unable to send to Machado

"The enemy in the Bethlehem hills are
now closed in upon. Basutoland is cios
ed to them. Harrismith is the only line
open and it will not be easy for them to
reach there with guns and wagons.
"Broadwood is still watching Christian
DeWet, who has taken up a position on

Grand Jury Will Act.
The grand jury was called In special
session to-day. Judge Baker delivered a
strong and impressive charge on the sub
ject of the disgraceful scenes which have
occurred in New Orleans during the past
few days. His honor said that tt was in
cumbent on the grand jury to make a
rigid investigation into every case of vio
lence visited upon the negro population,
and to use every means in their power
to bring the guilty men to the bar - of
justice.
The grand jury examined a large num
ber of witnesses, including newspaper re
porters. with a view to obtaining infor
mation which might lead to the apprehen
sion of the perpetrators of the outrages.
At a late hour to-night a mob which
had evaded the militia and the cltisens
police attacked the Thorny Lafon school
house. Sixth and Rampart streets, upon
the supposition that negroes had stored
arms and ammunition In the building.
They quickly gained possession and fired
the structure, destroying tt completely.
The school building was erected a few
years ago by the city and was devoted
exclusively to the education of negro
children. No negroes were found In the
school, but a number who emerged from
houses in the vicinity were pursued for
quite a distance. A strong force was dis
patched to Ihe scene as soon as the alarm
was given, but too late to save the school.
The mob was quickly dispersed.
CANDLER ..TALKS ON CHINA.
He Maintains That We Should lend
100,000 Men There.
Atlanta, July 27.—"1f the President in
tends to exert his strength in saving the
lives of American citizens In China, I be
lieve that right now is the time for him
to do so." said Gov. Candler to-night,
when asked for an expression on the Chi
nese trouble.
The Governor has maintained ail along
that it was the duty of the United
States to send 100,000 men to Taku at once.
He is opposed to militarism, but in a sit
uation of this kind he believes the Amer
ican citizen abroad should be protected,
and that the only way to gain that pro
tection is through an armed force.
"The foreign offices of Europe,” said the
Governor, "have not accepted the dispatch
from Conger obtained through Minister
Wu with as much readiness as has Wash
ington. The President evidently believes
implicity everything the representative of
China says. I do not mean to say for a
moment that I disbelieve the statements
of Minister Wu—far from It. I accord to
him a disposition much higher than per
sons I have heard express themselves, but
he should not expect us to put implicit
faith in the authenticity of a telegram
which was without date and which, to ail
appearances, might have been written in
the first as well as the last of July.
“While this doubt and uncertainty ex
ists. is to my mind, the time to strike,
to find out the real facts and ascertain
whether we have been deceived or not.
I believe 100,000 min should be sent, not
for the purpose of aggrandizement or to
take pert in a partition which the Pow
ers would like to make, hut solely to pro
tect the Americans in China, and to give
the Chinese to understand, if they are ca
pable of grasping the fact, that the Amer
ican citizen and his flag must be respect
ed. One hundred thousand men will be
necessary for this task, but its accom
plishment will command respect every
where, and the effect will be a wholesome
one on our own country.”
REVOLUTION IS NOW ENDED.
Colombian Rebels Will Not Be De

Colon, July 27.—The Liberal revolution

They can be cheaper only if made from cheaper ma

Roosevelt’* Speech In Like That or
Napoleon 111.
Boukler, Col., July 27.—This was Dfrao
rrntic Day at the Texaa-Colorado Chau
tauqua. Excursion trains were run from
Denver and other cltie* and towns In
Northern Colorado, bringing several thous
and visitors. Hon. Champ Clark of Mis
souri, was the orator of the day. He
said in part:
“The issue Is squarely Joined. It is
the empire against the republic. William
McKinley and his cohorts stand for the
empire; William J. Bryan and his fol
lowers stand for the perpetuation of this
beneficent republic, for which our fathers
fought, and for which (housamte of Ahem
died.
“The Asiatic propaganda is the most
preposterous scheme ever hatched in the
brain of man, and is the rankest sort of
midsummer madness.
"One of two things is true al>out the
Filipinos, either they are fit for eelf
government, or they re not. If they are
fit for seif-government, in Codes name let
them govern theinselvt*.
“If they are not fit, we do not want them
for fellow-citizens. But whether the Fil
ipinos are fit to govern themselves or not,
they are not fit to govern us, and that Is
precisely what they will do if wo take
them into political partnership with us,
for the Supreme Court of the United States
has decided, time and time and time again,
that the only purpose for which we can
acquire foreign territory is to make
states out of it, and If they are ever ad
mitted as states, they will control the
Senate, as well as ihe Electoral Collese.
“I would not give the life of one healthy, j
brave, ambitious, moral, Intelligent white i
boy in exchange for aU the Filipinos in 1
the archipelago, or that may be found un
til the cra.:<k of doom.
"These jingoes say we are opposed to
expansion and call us little Americans.
The name is an insult and the charge that
we are opposed to expansion is a lie. It
is a lie matte of the whole cloth, and made
wilfully, deliberately, premeditately and
with malice of forethought. 1 take It that
ail Americans are expansionists—provided
the expansion is on right lines in the right
direction and will strengthen our institu
tions and not weaken them.
"But a man does not have to he a fool
necessarily in order to be an expansionist.
Rational people want to expand on ration
al lines. Thomas Jefferson’s greatest act
was in making the Louisiana purchase.
That was the most profitable and stupen
dous transaction on real estate proposed
on this earth since the devil took the Sa
vior to the top of a high mountain and of
fered him tne dominion of the world to
fall down and worship him. That one act
alone would have placed Jefferson In the
ranks of the immortals even if he had nev
er — written the Declaration of Independ
ence or Virginia's statute for religious
freedom or founded the University of Vir
ginia.
"The old proverb, "great minds run In
(he eume channel" finds anew and star
tling verification in the sameness of thought
and language of a famous mot by Louis
Napoleon and a recent utterance by Theo
dore Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt is not only
both a voluminous and voluble si>e iker,
but is also an omnlverous reader, in his
speech before the Republican National
Clubs' League, Col. Roosevelt earnestly
enjoins his countrymen to 'remember that
expansion does not bring wur; It ultimate
ly brings peace.’
’’ 'The empire is peace' asseverates the
dreaming, scheming, nmblitonwi son of
Hortenae. "Expansion ultimately brings
peace." echo* th# dreuming, scheming,
ambitious Governor-Colonel of New York.
“Louis Napoleon and Theodore Roose
velt, par noble fratrum—
"Two souls with but a single thought—
(to get there Ell;)
Two heart* that beat as one (to be the
whole show”).
"Two lovely berries moulded on one
stem—The stem of Imperialism; twin
rtatemien revell g In iildesccm dream*

1 ting, 'he Id ntlcal sort of p ac- which
r 1.-ned In Warsaw on a memorable oc
casion and which 'damned to everlasting
fame’ the men who secured it by sword
and fire.
Now, be it remembered that I am not
arcusing Col. Roosevelt of plagiarizing
from Napoleon 111. I would not
even in ihe estimation of a hair, detract
from his Just fame; hut, one of two
things is true; either he had read Louis
Napoleon’s Bordeaux speech and boldly
appropriated or unconsciously, assimilat
ed both hia id*as and his language, or the
exigmclts of the case compelled Col.
Roosevi It to use the argument In favor
of his imperialism as the F;ench Emperor
used In defense of his imperialism
“Louis Napoleon's Hordeaux speech, de
livered fo ty-elght y*arn ago this com
ing October, and Col. Ros velt’s St. Paul
speech, which is still ringing in the ears
of nun, are as much alike as two peas In
a pod.
“The <mpire which the Frenchman was
then creating lived a bloody life for
eighteen years, and died thirty years ago,
In agony and shame amid the rejoicings
of all lovers of human liberty. A repub
lic rose upon Its ruins, growing stronger
day by dry, seeming dead ed for eternity.
For twenty-reven yeurs Louis Napoleon
has slept in foreign soil. He has found
peace at last—but he did not find it in his
empire. Neither will Col. Roo*cvelt find
peace in the theory or practice of imperial
aggrandia ment or universal conquest.”

Many Gold Democrats Will Y’ote
for Bryan.
New York, July 27 —Senator James K
Jones, chairman of Ihe National Demo
cratic Committee, reached the city to-,lay
from Washington, ami went direct to tn®
Hoffman House. He said that no na
tional headquarters will be established in
this city for the present; that the Demo
cratic State Committee would manage tho
campaign in New York until such time aa
It might be deemed necessary to estab
lish national headquarters. He will re
main here five days.
"I came here to look over the situa
tion,” he said, "and talk with the lead
ers. I don't know how long I shall stay,
possibly I may leave to-morrow. It wUI
depend entirely on circumstances. Ws
think that the Democratic Btate Commit
tee officers are competent to carry on tho
campaign in this state.”
When asked what he thought of the sig
nificance of the failure of the Gold Demo
crats to nominate a third ticket, he re
plied:
"Why. 1 think that means that a num
ber of Gold Democrats will vote for Bry
an. I don't see what other construction
can be placed on It."
Asked about the anti-imperialists’ meet
ing on Aug. it. h answered:
"That, also, will help Bryan Immense
ly and will help the Democratic party fit
various ways.”
Speaking of the absence of any incoma
tax plunk In the Democratic platform,
Senator Jones said:
"As chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee and also as chairman of
the Platform Committee, I can say at
this time that it was a matter of unin
tentional oversight that it was left out.
rt was in the platform, but the steno
grapher In revising his notes, left It out.
and it was not noticed. I had an addi
tion to be submitted, and it was merely
a of oversight. It practically
