BRIBE FOR GOLDEN OFFERED *5,000 IF HE WOULD LEAVE THE STATE. POWERS AND MOUNTAIN MEN. * Hi; is SAID TO HAVE REFERHED TO THEM AS A MOB. Taylor and Foweri Were the Moving 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.” ARRESTKI) FOR PERJt RY.

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.

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 ecuted.

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.

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.

"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?

"In the yeats 1897-8 he held a Federal office In Washington, and In orler to es cape paying his laxe- in New York he signed an affidavit and swore before the ever-living Ord that he was not a citi zen of New York.

"Let us look at the attitude of the ad ministration before the treaty wots r.tf i fled. The documents, the letters, the dis patches on file in the departments at Washington show that after Dewey had sunk the Spanish fleet at Manila the administration thought of having him come away from it, considered the Idea of keeping one island as a base for our shipping, and it asked Dewey’s opin ion as to which was the best "He recommended Luzon.

She could not dictate German pol icy as she could American policy; there fore, if she rould not have Ihe Islands herself, the next beet thing was to have them held by an administration which she could control. "Instantly the syndicates of America and the forces of greed, rapacity and cor ruption united In favor of that policy. During the summer and fall of 1898 Agul naldo's government applied repeatedly to President McKinley for an expression as to the fioliey that he intended to pursue toward the Philippines, asking whether the Philippine people were to be treated like the Cubans. This was all they wanted. They were already co-oierallng with us against Spain. They had hailed us as friends and they simply wanted a dec laration as to our intentions. But the President having already secretly em barked upon a policy of imperialism, evad ed an answer. "Had he told them they were to be treated like the Cubans not a man would have been killed In Ihe Philippines.
