THEM AS A MOB.

Spirits In Getting the Crowd to
Frankfort—Power* Sold He Left
Frankfort Rernoie He Was Afraid
He C'oold Riot Get n. Fair Trial.
Witness Arrested for Perjury.
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. I.—Ex-Secretary
of State Powers to-day concluded his tes
timony In his own behalf In his trial, on
the charge of complicity in the
of Goebel. The prosecution failed to dis
concert him on his cross-examination.
Rev. John Stamper, brother-in-law of
1 Wharton Golden, and whose testimony
the defense hopes to contradict, created
something of a sensation on cross-exam
ination by admitting that he sought to
get Golden to leave the state, and indi
rectly offered him $5,000. It was reported
co-day that ex-Gov. Taylor is represent
ed at the trial by counsel, who are keep
ing up with the evidence as it bears on
Taylor’s case.
Powers began his third day in the wit
ness box this morning. He was subject
ed to a rigid cross-examination regarding j
the organization of the mountaineer (
army.
He said that Taylor and himself were
the primary spirits in getting it up. The
military companies were brought along, j
he said, because they had some discipline i
and could be more easily controlled.
Moreover, he said they were already
armed.
The witness said he had urged Gov.
Taylor, while the contest board was sit
ting, to call out the military companies
and to send the bulk of the other moun
tain people home, and had secured a par
tial promise from the Governor to do it.
This was to be done in order that they
might hold possession of the scale offices
until the Supreme Court of the United
States had passed on the merits of the
case.
The witness contradicted the statement
cf Banker John A. Black, who swore that
Powers, in discussing the mountaineer ex
cursion to Frankfort, referred to it as a
mob. Powers says Black so referred to
it. but that he told Black he would do
all he c:uld to keep it from degenera ing
into an organization of that character.
Wh> Powers Fleil Arrest.
At the afternoon session Col. Campbell
interrogated the witness regarding his
flight under military escort to evade ar
rest after the issuance of the warrant,
March 1. Powers rep ated that he was
afraid that he could not get a fair trial
on account of political prejudice and also
because of the slfo,ooo reward fund appro
priated by the Legislature. Col. Camp
bell said:
Mr. Powers, do you not know that of
the $100,0(X) fund appropriated, the sum of
s't>.994 remains in the hands of the com
rolssb tier unused?”
Thf witness said he had no knowledge
on this point.
The cross-examination was concluded at
11:30 a. m. and Powers quit the witness
box. where he had been sinde 10 o’clock
Monday morning, or a total of sixteen
hours.
Rev. John Stami>er, Golden’s brother-in
law. was asked, among other questions,
whether Golden had told him that he was
to get money for the confession he made.
Stamper said that Golden made a remark
in substance that he was to get $5,000. He
was also to give affirmative answers re
garding conversations with Golden, for
which the latter is claimed to have said
he was to be paid $2,500 for each convic
tion.
Upon cross-examination Col. Hendrick
asked the witness if he did not have tt
talk with L. F. Sinclair, of the defense,
and after that if he did not tell Golden
that he could get $5,000 he would leave
the etute and not testify.
The witness*; replied that he did not say
to Golden that "he could get those fel
lows to give him $5,000 if he would leave
the state.”

Held a Meeting and Commended the
Mnrder of Humbert.
Pittsburg, Aug. I.—A special to the Com
mercial Gazette says:
"To-night at the mouth of an abandoned
mine near Bhaner Station, on the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, quite a large
gathering of anarchists met to exult over
the killing of King Humbert.
The meeting was in charge of G. Cian
cabilla, editor of L’Aurora, the anarchist
newspaper of Hoboken. N J., wh o spoke
for an hour, rousing his hearers to a high
P teh of rejoicing. Ciancahllla disclaimed
nil knowledge of Bressi's mission to Italy
but heartily approved of the result, lie
claims it was not a plot in which anarch
ists were concerned. Bressi alone knew
".JJ 8 heart what his Intentions were.
" . n the speeches were concluded ap
propriate resolutions were adopted and the
following cablegram ordered by the group
to be sent:
"To Minister Saracco. Rome. We are
exultant over the death of the King who
massacred the people. Hurrah for our
comrade Bressi.
"The Anarchist Group, Ydhaghany.”
Ihe men composing this group are for
the most pari miners from the Scott mines
and Shanc-r No. 2. of the Pittsburg Coal
Company, and to-day was made a holiday
ror the purpose of jubilation.
PLOT STARTED AT PATERSON.
That Is the Suspicion in Italy as to
Bressi's Crime.
Rome, Aug. I.—ln the course of his ex
amination yesterday Bressi did not deny
that he had been designated to assassi
nate King Humbert. It is now believed
here that ihe cr me was arranged in Pat
erson, N. J.
A man named Salvatoro Quintavalli,
who returned frem the United States with
Bressi and accompanied him to an an
archist meeting in Paris, has been ar
r*st*d at ,he Rio Marina on the Island
of Elba. The police found on him letters
and photographs of anarchisms.
Anton Lanner. who accompanied Bressi
from the l rvlted States has been arrested
at Ivrea In consequence of ih'se arrests
the belief In the existence of a plot is in
creasing. ,
The ministers have unanimously decid
ed that the body of King Humbert shall
rest in Rome.
Fifteen thousand troops will ray the
last honors.
SO NOTICE OF ANY CRIME.
Prosecntor Ernie, Says He Sees no
Reason Yet to Act.
New York. Aug:. I.—Neither the police
nor the county authorities at Paterson,
N. J., have received official information
of the assassination of King Humbert of
Italy by Gaetano Bressl, nor have they
been asked to investigate the stories that
the plot to take the King’s life was
hatched at Paterson. Prosecutor Etniey
said to-day:
So far as this office is concerned, noth
ing has been done, and no evidence has
been presented to me that any crime over
which I have Jurisdiction has been com
mitted. There may be anarchists in this
city, but the mere fact that a man is an
anarchist, does not constitute a crime un
der our laws. If any of these men over
stepped the bounds, however, I am pre
pared to act at once, and I have no doubt
that the next grand Jury will attend to
them.
IIRESSI’S WIFE IS OVERCOME.
She Still Hopes Against Hope That It
Is Not Her Husband.
New York, Aug. I.—Capt. Usher of the
Hoboken police said to-day that Mrs.
Bressl, wife of the assassin of King Hum
bert, was in such a nervous condition
that she had gone to the house of a
friend for rest. The woman is des
titute. She still tries to hope that
the man arrested in Italy is not her hus
band, but she admits that there is little
reason for her hope. She will be kept un
der police surveillance pending develop
ments in her husband's case.
SYMPATHY FHOrf WILLIAM.

Victor Emanuel.
Berlin, Aug. I.—Emperor William to-day

friend and ally. 1 send you with on ex
pression of my deep and sincere sympa
thy my best wishes for your reign. May
the friendship which united our houses
during the reign of your father continue.
His memory will ever remain written in
my heart."
In a similar telegram to Queen Mar
gherita on behalf of himself and the Em
press, Emperor William says;
"The chivalrous, kind, brave and faith
ful Humbert fell as o soldier on the bat
tlefield, a victim of those devilish machin
ations which aim at the destruction of all
order, both divine and human. May God
console you in your Indescribable grief.
May he strengthen your son's arm so that
he may wield the sceptre and sword for
the good of his people and the glory and
welfare of Italy.”
BressJ's brother, who is a lieutenant In
the Italian army, stigmatizes the crime
as the most cowardly act of the century.
He has had no news of his brother for a
long time, and thought he was still in the
United States.
Parliament has been summoned to meet
Aug. 6.
It is stated that Queen Margharitea will

Rarr Animosity to President Kruger
Is Inerensing.
Pretoria, Tuesday, July 31.—Mrs. Botha
was the guest of Lord Roberts ot dinner

The Boer animosity to President Kruger
grows on account of the fact that his
officials are persuading the people that
South African republic paper money is
as good as Bank of England notes, be
cause it is based on Inalienable stale se
curities, even though the state should be
conquered. The wives and children of
the poorer Boers ore almost starving.

American commander received orders
from Washington to-day not o delay the

that heavy reinforcements arc en route.
Local activity is noticeable at Japanese
headquarters. Transport prepa rat ions
are being hurried. It is extremely unlike

London, Aug. I.—A letter from Hong
Kong dated July 2, which was received
here to-day represents that Li Hung
Chang was preserving order In Canton
by a virtual reign of terror, rendering
him well hated by the disorderly elements.
He had ruthlessly prevented anything In
the nature cf a public meeting and thus
effectually prevented any of the various
parlies, all of them animated by hatred
to foreigners, coming together to plan a
rising. During one week he had executed
by strangulation or beheading seventy
persons, and It is asserted that during
his viccroyalty no less tban 2,0(K) were ex

All suspects, innocent and guilty alike

THINKS CHINA IS COWED,
German Ofllcdal Thinks Recent Dis
patches All Right.
Berlin, Aug. I.—A high official In the
German foreign office said to-day that In
the opinion of that office the messages re
ceived from the members of the legations
were allowed to pass the llnee by the
Chinese government.
From this the foreign office argues that
the Chinese government is already cowed
by the international success at Taku. The
official was Inclined to think that the ad
vance would be made without a eomman
der-in-chlef, a course of action which he
characterized as feasible, although he de
nounced the failure to agree upon a com
mon commander as scandalous.
The foreign office has taken steps to
prevent "unauthorized publication" of
Emperor William's speeches. At the seci
ond embarkation of troops from China on
Monday the correspondents were admitted
only after signing a written agreement to
publish no report of the Emperor's deliv
erance on that occasion until the manu
script had been submitted to the foreign
office.

Ohio Democratic Ulal>* Altgeld
Called Attention to Some Weak
Point* In Roonevelt** lleeord—Pol
icy and Act* of the Administration
Were Scored.
Toledo, 0., Aug. I.—A light attendance
hut much enthusiasm marked the second
day's session of the. Ohio Democratic
Clubs. The principal speech of the meet
ing was delivered to-night at the Lyceum,
by ex-Gov. Altgeld of Illinois. He spoke
in reply to the address of Gov. H<x>sp
velt before the National League of Re
publican Clubs nt St. Paul. Gov. Alt
geld said among other things:
"We have seen tho spectacle of a major
general of the United States army, who
was sworn to defend the constitution and
was paid a salary by the government for
that purpose, stand up In his gorgeous uni
form and tell an assembly of wine-drink
ing magnates that the constitution was
no longer binding.
“Now after n career of unparalleled
splendor, after having been the* hope of
the human race for a I'entury. after hav
ing shaped the civilization of the age, it
is solemnly proposed to abandon the prin
ciples that maeie us great, to come down
from the hights where we have been beck
oning the nations, and to get on the low
er plane of brute force, and enter into
a scramble with the despotic nations of
the earth in an attempt to plunder weaker
people. Incredible as it may seem, at the
close of this marvelous century, which is
the child of the Declaration of Independ
ence, we ere asked to go back to those
principles which have cursed the world
for thousand* of years, and which, If
again given sway, will bring back the
‘dark ages.’
"For forty years the Republican party
hos controlled the policies of this govern
ment, while during tb4 time the l>emo
crats twice elected a President, yet dur
ing one term they did not have control
of Congress, and during the other nothing
was done that changed the policy of the
government. I wish to speak kindly of
the Republican party; it came into the
world with a great mission, and when
guided by Lincoln, it stood for justice,
equality and humanity; but with the wip
ing out of slavery its mission was per
formed. and it i>a*sed into the hands of
corruptionists until it stands for exactly
the opposite principles of those* that were
rfpresented by the martyr president.
“Since the Civil War every method of
plunder that genius of man could invent
has been practiced; government has been
used to enrich the few.
"Through the special privileges obtain
ed from the government, great combina
tions and syndicates known as 'trusts’
have been formed, which are today de
vouring the substance of the American
people, which control every great Indus
try. all the means of transportation, con
trol the money of the country, have de
stroyed the small, independent men of the
land; have destroyed the hopes of the
yonng men of the land; have marie an in
dependent ond honorable career for a
young man impossible,
"Recently a gentleman In New York
who had become famous for having ten
alone In Cuba—a gentleman who has
adopted as his life motto or coat of aims
two "P’s" and a double. "8," which four
letters signify 'pompous poring,' and
‘strenuous strutting—left the capital of
New York nnd went to St Paul and de
livered a speech to the association of Re
publican clubs. The s|wech has not, from
beginning to end, a single argument, cr a
sitgle accurate historical refeience, a
s e oh that Is made up of invective, m's
representatlon ar.d vituperation.
‘Referring to the Democrats, he said:
They stand for lawlessness and and sorrier,
for dißhonest) and dishonor, for license
and disaster al home, and cowardly
shrinking from duty abroad.'
“This Is a reflection on the Intelligence
and patriotism, and (he honor of every
Democrat in the country. It is a personal
Irsutt to the six and one half millions of
men who supported Mr. Bryan In IASS’,
and to the eleven millions of freemen who
are going to support him In IfOO.
"He gives no facta and advances no
arguments in support of this charge. It
ts simply an assertion. He puts himself
In evidence. As'de from iriithfulnriiH, It
Involves his sincerity and discretion.
"Who, then, Is this man, and what Is
his hlsory?
I And it recorded that years ago he*
was a member of the New York L-g..sta
tute. and on one oce-as'on he roused the
hopes of the country by making a s|ie ch
against a class which he called 'the crimi
nal rich.’ Hut he at once dashed those
hopes by turning around and voting with
and for these very criminal rich whom
he had denounced.
"In the yeats 1897-8 he held a Federal
office In Washington, and In orler to es
