DEFENSE in powers case. % CHART of capitol grounds pvt IN EVIDENCE. intended to Show That the Shot 1 Not Have Been Fired From ,1,0 Secretary of State’* twice. Prewitt and Golden Confronted Each Other and There Were De nial* of Several Allesed Incrimi nating Statement*. Georg, town, Ky., Aug. B.—ln the trial 0 f ex-Sccretary of S ate Powers on the charge of complicity in the Goebel shoot ing, the defense to-day produced one of Its star claims this afternoon in the shape ,f surveyor Coo maii- and his chart of the capitol grounds of Frankfort. jt was intended to prove by h s figures that the bullet which killed Goebel couid EO t have been fired from the sill of the window of the Secretary of State's office If it took the course claimed fer it by the prosecution. Dr. Prewitt of Taylor county, on cross examination, denied that he told Wharton Golden he had no doubt that "Tallow Dick" Combs fired the shot that killed Goebel. He denied that he said Combs came into the adjutant general's office after the shooting. He repeated that Combs and Hockersmith were in the office at the time and that neither of them could have done the shooting. The witness also said he had seen Golden a day or two ago and denounced him as a liar. As Prewitt left the stand, Golden was recalled and the men met fact to face, the speclators watering them closely to see how they greeted each other. They spoke cordially and then Golden took the stand end denied that he had made certain statements with which Prewitt charged him He repeated what he claimed Prewitt told him in regard to "Tallow Dick” Combs in connection with the shooting. Cross-examination of James Sparks, , county attorney in Laurel county, opened the afternoon session. Counsel for the prosecution asked him if he had not said in the presence of a number of people in London that Goebel was to be snot and had even designated the day; also that Taylor had made out the pardons with the exception of inserting the names. He de nied making such statements. An Engineer on the Stand. E. B. Coleman of New Albany, Ind., a civil engineer, said he had worked for many leading pailroads of he country. He made a survey of the Capitol grounds in JTankfort and had made a chart, which he presented. He explained various dis tances in Jhe grounds and stated that a shot fired from the sill of the window of the Secretary of State’s office to the hole in the hackberry tree wuold drop 1 3-16 inches per foot in its pasasge. He un derstood that the bullet in passing through Goebel’s body dropped 1 7-16 inches and at this rate it would have dropped after leaving the body so as to strike the basin of the fountain instead of She tree. A bullet fired from the sill of the secretary of state’s office which dropped 1 7-16 inches to the foot would never have reached the spot where Goebel tvas supposed to be standing. He stated fur ther that a line drawn through Goebel's body from the point of exit to the point ot entrance and continued to the execu tive building in a straight line would have struck it 8% feet above the sill of the window referred to. SAFE CONOUCTJJF MINISTERS Continued from First Page. edict of Aug. 2, which was delayed in transmission. It directs the safe conduct of the foreigners to Tien Twin and as signs Jung Lu to select effecient officials to give this safe conduct. Mr. Wu also received an edict under date of Aug. 5, in which the Chinese gov ernment permits the Powers to hold open free communication, with their ministers This includes the sending of cipher me - eages. The text of the edict of Aug. 2 is as. fol lows: “Throughout the disturbances recently caused by our subjects on account of Christian missions, which have resulted in j a conflict of forces, it has been found necessary to afford protection to all the foreign ministers in Pekin. On repeated occasion tne 11 Yamen sent notes inquiring after their welfare. And as Pekin has not vet been retsored to order and precationary measures may not se cure absolute safety the foreign ministers are being consulted as to the proposed plan of detailing troops to escort them safely to Tien Tsin for temporary shel ter. so that they may be free from appre hensive anxiety or fear. “We hereby command Jung Lu to ap point, as a preliminary step, trustworthy high civil and mill ary officials who, to gether w.th reliable and efficient troops, shall, at such time as the foreign minis ters may agree upon fer leaving Pekin, 'scert ar.d protect them throughout their journey. Should lawless characters man ifest evil and s'gns upon the m nisters or attempt to rob thum, In any way create trouble, they (the high officials) shall at once repress thfm without fail.” EARLY REPLY IS DEMANDED. We Ma.t Hear From China at Once. Conner's Dispatch bed to Talk of an Kxtra .scion. Washington, D. C., Aug. B. Gen. Chaf fee, in a dispatch to the War Depart ment, given out this evening, clears up the mystery which has surrounded the t-ettle of Pei Tsang last Sunday. He clearly states in direct contradic tion to Admiral Remey’s and Commander Taussig's message that although the American troops took no part In the fight ing, they were prepared for a flanking movement, but were unable to form In the line It appears from this dispatch that the Japanese troops were to hear the brunt of the charge, and were to fce sup ported by the British and American forces. •Asa result of the alarming dispatch re ceived from Minister Conger, published • his morning, President McKinley, through Consul Gocdenow, has delivered an ultimatum to the Chinese government. Consul Goodenow was directed to notify Hi Hung Chang, Shcng and other Chinese officials that the existing situation was in tolerable, ar,d will not be permitted to continue without the most serious results. An early reply I* demanded. The future onion of the United States government *ll depend on the nature of the response made by the Chinese government. Tnllc of nil Extra Session. The alarming intelligence conveyed in Minister Conger's dispatch which reached the state department last evening cre ated consternation throughout the coun try and aroused public sentiment to the Point of urging the call of an extra ses ol Congress followed by a prompt "'deration of war. Throughout the u*V prominent administration officers dlseuiM •“ the possibility of such a course with greater seriousness than ever before, but inquiry at the executive mansion showed hat the President had not yet been con vinced that such action is demanded Much will depend upon the tone of Ch.na’s reply to the ultimatum of the President delivered to-day. One of the most distressing features of the present situation in Pekin is the ap parent inability of the international pow ers to insure the absolute safety of the legations pending the arrival of the re lief column from Tieti Tsin. Apprehen sions are felt for the safety of the im prisoned ministers in the present temper of the Chinese people. Minister* In Great Peril. There Is no longer any attempt to con ceal the fact that the imperial forces in China are banded together with the Box ers to exterminate the "Foreign Devils.” It also been clearly demonstrate.! that the Chinese government is resisting the advance movement of the international forces with all its power, coupled with implication that further hostile demon strations on the part of the allies may furnish a pretext for the massacre of the ministers and thrir associates. It is con ceded that the latter are in deadly peril and their safety at Pekin cannot be assur ed. At the same time. Minister Conger has stated that it means certain death to leave there. L'nder these conditions the Chinese seem to hold the key to the situation so far as the safety of the legations is con cerned, and the utmost caution must be observed to prevent disaster to the minis ters. At the state and war departments the statement is officially made that is no intention of calling a halt in the move ment of the internationals against Pekin, and there is no likelihood of such a step being taken, unless it should prove the oniy means of saving the ministers. A Sign of Hope. Conservative officials derive some hope from the fact that Minister Conger's dis patch came through in cipher and may be regarded as an indication that the Chinese government is preparing a way for open communication between the ministers and their respective governments. If the prom ises contained in the edict are made good and freer communication is at once estab lished, serious consequences may be avert ed. Although former intimations have been given that such communktation would be established this is the first time it has appeared in the form of an imperial edict. Asa result of this latest communication from the Chinese government and the message sent to Consul Goodenow, the United Slates government is now in on attitude of waiting, hoping for the best, but apprehensive of the gravest possibili ties. It is reported here this evening that the President will return to Washington per sonally and conduct the Chinese move ments In the absence of Secretary Hay, who is still at his New Hampshire resi dence. MESSAGE FROM MAC DONALD. Chinese Fire Kept Up but the British Are Doing Well. London, Aug.

Rryan'* Speech at the Night Medina In Indinnapolt*—Say* the Democrat* Have Control of the Ma chinery In Mot of the Larne title* Gold Democrat* Coniluig llack—Talked on Tra*t* and the Money Question. In tanaiolts, Ind.. Aug. B—At night a mass mte itig was held at Tomlinson Hall, which was p:eslded ever by Mayor Carter H. Harr.son of Chicago, and ad dressed by Mr. Biyan ard lien Webster Davis. The meeting was rot called to order until 8:30 o'clock, but the ball, which is a large one, was filled an hour before that time. Mr. Bryan was received with vociferous applause as he entered. In opening the meeting Mayor Harrison made a brief speech congratulating the Democracy upon the "promise, yes the assurance, of success of our ticket at the polls In November.” He said the people had got "tried of Mark Hanna and his band of freebooters," and were turning to the Democratic parly for relief. Mr. Harrison abx> referred In condemna tory terms to the Operation of trust* as the great and growing evil of Ihe day and threatening the very existence of our In stitutions. He denounced "imperialism ■and militarism" as repugnant to all who believe in a Republican form of govern ment. In conclusion he said he was the seventh son of a seventh daughter, anil that ho prophrside the election of Mr. Bryan. He then introduced Mr. Bryan, whoso speech was important because it outlined his ideas of the advantages t njoyed by the Democrats In the present campaign over those of 1896. Mr. Ilrymt Make* a Speecli, "Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen; I am obliged to Mayor Harrison for his kind prophecy. He is the president of a Democratic club in Chicago that has cele brated Jackson’s birthday during each year since 1896. I have been present at each meeting of he club, and he, as presl ldent of the club, has nominated me for President on four successive occasions. He has got so into the habit that If you do not elect me this time you are going to em barrass Mayor Harrison very greatly. (Laughter.) But speaking of mayors I want to say that wc are In a much better position this year than wc were In 1891. ; because of the fact that we have, control of the city governments of many, tf not most of the large cities of this country. Mayor Harrison presides In the city sec ond In s;z, in the United Slates. I had a suspicion hat there were some repeaters in Chicago In 1896. Indeed. I suspected that some of the Republicans up (here were following the idea expressed by a gentle man after Ihe election. He was told there was some repeating. He said; “ ’Well. I suppose it was twice as hon est to vote twice for honest money ns to vote once for it.’ Conlrot of Many Cltlc*. 1 We have control of Ihe government of the largest city in Indiana. ,1 am glad that we have much In this campaign, for while we do not wat t any unlawful votes cast on our side, we are glad to be in position to prevent their being cast on the other side. We have control of the city governments of New York City and Buffalo, two of the larg at cities of the s ate cf New York. We lave control of the city government of Jersey City; we have Baltimore; we have Cleveland and n Toledo, although the Mayor does not call himself a Democrat I know he won’t et ary Republican cheat in that city. (Laughter.) We hove control of lamis vilie, Ky., we have control cf Kansas City; we hove control of Denver and we have control of San Francisco. It is a great advantage to have control of the machinery in these great cities. We have an advantage In this campaign—a wonder ful adv.tnage—over the campaign of IRWi. because then the papers were full of an nouncements of Democrats who were leav ing the party and now it requires an ex pert mathematician to stand at Ihe door and count them as they come back. (Laughter and applause.) Gold Democrat* Come Ruck. "We have with us this year all we had in 1896; we have with us a large majority of the Gold Democrats who were not in our favor in 1896. I knew they would come back because I knew tfiat most of them who went away went because they did not recognize ihe magnitude of the struggle In which we arc engaged, ihe I*>- ginning of the struggle between Democracy and plutocracy. I believe that a great ma jority of them would come back, and I insisted that when they got ready to come back I wanted: them to know where the old house ws and not have if moved around ao that they could not find it when they did come hack. (Applause are! laughter.) This year we have coming >o U“ the people who now see She dangerous tendencies of ihe Republican party, al though they did not see those tendencies in 1896. We pointed out in 1896 that if the Repulbliean party won it Wottid have to give the trusts a chance to get back out of the people the money they had con tributed to the campaign fund Trust and Money Questions. "It was strange that the people did not see it, v>t those who could not see if then, now know that tf you want to ex tinguish a trust you have got to take the extinguisher out of the hands of the trust. People -who did not feel the In iquity of the trusts have felt it since and all through this land everywhere peo ple are coming with u* this year because they see that with the succour of the Republican party, with the present ten dency toward the concentration of wealth, it is only a question of time when the in dividual will disappear. Hence the mothers and father* are thinking for their boy*, and I challenge the Republican party to meet ti on the trust question. I challenge it to condemn the young men to perpetual clerkships under monopollra in this country. (Great applause.) I be lieve that on the old questions we are stronger this year than we were in 1896. I believe If there were no ntw queatlons we KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD Proper Selection of Great Imporl anee In Mummer. The feeding of Infants In hot weather Is a very serious proposition, as all mother* know. Food must be used that will easily digest, or the undigested parts will be thrown into (he intestines and (sure sickness. It is important to know that a food can bn obtained that la always safe; that Is Grape-Nu4s. A mother writes: "My baby took th# first premium at a baby show on the Bth tnrt., and is In every way a prise baby. I have fad him on Grape-Nuts since he was five months old. I also use your Poe turn Food Coffee for myself." Mrs. L. F. Fishbaek, Alvin, Tex. Grape-Nuts food is not made solely for a baby food by any means, but Is manu fa' lured for all human beings who have trifling, or serious difficulties in stomach and bowel*.
