POWERS’ JURY INSTRUCTED. DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL THINKS COURT WAS TOO SEVERE. judge Cuntrill Said an Accenaory May Be Convicted Even Though the Principal la Never Arrested or Identified— If Potvera \Yn a Party to the Conspiracy He Should Be pound Guilty Whether He Was Present at the Shoofiug or Not. Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 14.—The final in structions were read to the jury by Judge Cantrill this ever.ing in the Powers trial. a: and Judge James Sims, made the opening argument to the jury for the defense. Defendant Powi rs is in such a nervous and critical condition that his attorneys filed a physician's affidavit that he was unable to attend a night session of the court, but Judge Oantrlll said a cot could be provided for him ard he could lie down in the court room during the speeches. Powers was able to sit up to-night, how ever. \ The instructions to the Jury are consld ered by the defendant’s attorneys as be ing entirely too severe and ter.d to lessen Powers’ chances of acquittal, although they are ill confident of a verdict in his favor. The court instructed the jury that an accessory before the fact may be convict ed, although the person who committed the act is never identified, apprehended or tried, an-d that if the jury believe from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant conspired with the other persons indicted, or any other persons, to procure or bring about the murder of Goebel they ought to find the defendant guilty of murder and fix his punishment at death or confinement in the state penitentiary for life, in their discre tion. The court further instructed the jury that if Powers was a party to a con spiracy they ought to find him guilty, whether he was present at the time of the shooting or wounding or no-t, or whether the identity of the person shoot ing and wounding said William Goebel be established or not; and if the jury shall find the defendant guilty they ought to fix his punishment as indicated. The court instructed that the jury can not convict the defendant upon the tes.i r.iony of an accomplice unless such testi mony be corroborated by other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense. Every fact and circumstances necessary to constitute the guilt of the defendant, the court says, ought to be proved to the satisfaction of the jury beyond a reasonable doubt, and unless the defend ant has been so proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the jury ought to find him not guilty. Judge S!ms in his speech to-night said the proof in the case had not borne out er e statements of the case made for the commonwealth by Col. T. C. Campbell. He t*6ok a shot at Campbell by saying If ihe commonwealth attorney had stated the case he wou'd have stuck to the facts that c u and be proved. He dilated at length on Coolman's testimony that if the fall of the bullet was 113-16 of an inch in passing through Goebel's body it could only have been fired from a point seven feet above Power's office window.

WANTED TO BE UNDER PROTEC TION OF UNITED STATES. Expressed Fear* a* to Treatment !y the Portuguese Government nntl Wanted Protection of United States Consulate Until He Could Hake Other Arrangements—After the Re quest Consul Hollis Was Ordered to Remain in Portuguese Terri tory. London, Aug. 14.—President Kruger at one time made a formal application to the United States to grant him a sanctuary in case the necessity arose. This occurred, according to Secretary of State Reitz, of the Transvaal Republic, (he day Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. The details of the event have been re lated to a representative of the Associated Press by Mr. F. W. Unger, who has just returned from the Transvaai and who has secured the information from Secretary Reitz and others. After quoting the secretary as saying President Kruger would never take to the mountains, oit account of his age, but would retreat down the line, finally es caping to Portuguese territory, Mr. Un ger said that the day the British entered Pretoria President Kruger sent for Mr. W. Stanley Hollis, the United States con sul at Lorenzo Marquez and Mr. Hollis was taken to Machadodorp in a special car. President Kruger asked him if his gov ernment would grant him (President Kru ger) an asylum in the Lorenzo Marques consulate until he (Mr. Kruger) made other arrangements for his departure. President Kruger expressed fears con cerning his treatment by the Portuguese government and wished to guard against any possible British landing parties. Mr. HoSMs asked for time to consult with his government, and President Kruger as sured him he would receive a week's no tice before putting the plan into texecu tlon. In consequence of this visit to the Transvaal and the transmission of Pres ident Kruger's request to Washington, Mr. Hollis received instructions from Sec retary Hay not to leave Portuguese ter ritory again. He was thus compelled to neglect the interests of the British pris oners at Nooit Gedaoht. NO FORMAL REQUEST MADE. Instruction to Hollis Not the Besnlt of Kroger's Appeal. Washington. Aug. 14.—1 t is said at the State Department that no formal appli cation has ever come from Consul Hollis for sanctuary in the American consulate for President KrugeK and that the in structions sent to the consul to confine his energies to his consular duties were not a result of any discussion of an asylum for the Boer President, as the de partment was not aware that Mr. Hollis had visited the President. It appears that some intimation on the subject reached the officials here, but it is said to have been not such a formal application as would have been requisite. Had formal application been made, it is stated that it would have been passed upon by the President, but there has been nothing communicated which called for such action. STEYN CONFINED BY DB WET.

Va., Aug. 14.—Webster Davis of Missouri, late assistant secretary of the interior, whose change to the Democracy Was a feature of the Kansas City convention, opened the Democratic campaign to-night at Wheeling Park be fore 10,000 people. His speech was largely devoted to a eulogy of the Boers and their strugglo for independence and he claimed that there exists a secret understanding be tween Great Britain and the United State* which prevented the Boer envfeys from accomplishing anything during their tecent visit. Sir Julian Rauncefote, the British am bassador, he said, was sitting In an ad joining room when the Boer envoys were received by Secretary Hey and .heard ev ery word that was said. He said ho went to Philadelphia to have an indorsement of the Boers put in the Republican plat form and he approached' three hunderd delegates, but the general reply was: "I don't believe Mr. Hanna would want any thing like that tn the platform.” Very little of the speech was devoted' to the issues of the Campaign.

C. "The unexplored remains of the libra ry,” says the correspondent, “will require five years for excavation. If those parts prove as rich in results as the portion already found, (here will be no example in the world's history, not even in Egypt, of so complete a recovery of the records of ancient civilization.” COTTON NOT MADE FROM WOOD. Report About tlie Artificial Staple Was Erroneous. Washington, Aug. 14.—United States Consul Frank W. llahln. at Retehenberg, informs the State Department that his consulate is in receipt of scores of inquir ing letters from America and Europe re garding a report published in newspapers and trade Journals that artificial cotton is now being made from pine wood fibres and spruce wood. Investigation has developed that the cot ton said to have been made from the wood fibres is nothing more than the natural product itself. The spinning of spruce ond fir fibres in the production of artificial silk probably has given rise to these erroneous rei • Is, says Consul Mahin, and It Is safe to conclude that though attempts may have been made to produce artificial cot ton, so far they have been without satis factory results.

UNFAVORABLE TO THE CROPS. HEAT AND DRYNESS HAVE HAD A DELETERIOUS EFFECT. In Most Part* of the Cotton Dr'.t There I* Great Need of Rain—lint and Shedding Are Hurting It. and In Some State* the Crop Ha* Deter iorated Materially Tobacco Ha* Also Suffered From Drought aud Heat. Washington, Aug. 14.—The Weather Bu. reau's weekly summary of crop conditions says: Owing to the extreme conditions of heat and dryness, and excessive rains in certain districts the week, as a whole, was unfa vorable to agricultural interests In the districts cost of the Rocky mountains, but on the Paciffle coast it was very favora ble. In portions of Missouri and Kansas earn, more especially the late planted, has been materially Injured. In the principal states of the corn belt tho reports indicate that the bulk of the crop will bo safe from frost by Sept. 1 to 10 and that the late crc-p will be matured one to two weeks later. ( Heavy rains in the principal spring wheat states prevented the completion of the spring wheat harvest and caused injury to tho overripe standing grain as well a* to that in shock and stack. Over portions of the central belt cotton has improved slightly, although rust and shedding are generally reported and the crop needs rain in portions of Mississippi, while suffering from excessive moisture ond lack of cultivation in parts of Louisi ana. In the Oarotinas. Georgia an<V Ar kansas the condition of cotton has deter ioated materially, premature opening be ing extensively reported from the Caro llnas. In Northern Texas cotton has made favorable progress, but elsewhere in that slate it needs dry weather and is making too rank growth. Some picking has been done over the Southeastern portion of the cotton belt, and while cotton is opening In Southwest ern Texas, picking will not be general In that state for two or three weeks. In the middle Atlantic states. Including North Carolina and Ohio and portions of Kentucky, tobacco has suffered much from drought and heat, but in the last mentioned state the general condition of the crop is promising. Some cutting has been done as far north as Maryland and Ohio. STATUS OF GEORGIA CHOPS. Bain I* Badly Needed In Most Sec tion* of the State. Atlanta. Aug. 11— A synopsis of the weekly crop bulletin of tho United States weather bureau, J. B.

Kaln Is badly needed In every section as nearly all crops are suffering from the lack of mo'sturc. T.ie prevailing conditions, were mra favo able for sav ing and curing the fodder crop, which is a large yield and has been housrd in ex cellent shape. The excessive heat and lack of rain has arrested cotton growth, and materially lessened the pro p cts of a fair yield ex cept, possibly in North Georgia, where the crop stems to be in btter condition than In the lower counties. Reports ar numerous of shedding and rusting and premature opening and much will depend on the weather for the ensuing two weeks as to the outcome. Picking is n full pro gres* in several counties In South Geor gia. and small quantltl s are be:ng mar keted. , Sweet potatoes, cane, r'ce and peanuts are doing well In most sections Upland corn Is a'sy in fairly good shape. The movement of the peach crop is practically over except In the extreme north. The weather is too dry for the turnip sowtrg, and is unfavorable on tho seed already sown. Stotk continues In good condition and pastures are generally fine. ADDRESS TO THE PRINTERS. Representative of Publisher* Sug gct Arbitration. Milwaukee, W!., Aug. 14.-Frederick Drisecll, commissionar of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, ad dressed the International Typographical Union Convention to day as a represen tative of the special Handing committee of the American Newstaper Publishing Association, making several suggestions In the interests of harmony between the publishers and the International Typo graphical Union. The committee, he said, was not ap pointed to provoke controversies or to an tagonize labor, but, on the contrary, to promote a better understanding between members and their employer, Mr. Driscoll quoted a resolution adopted by the special committee early this monsh that the publishers should have the right to be heard on all proposed amendments to the constitution, general laws and rules of the InternaGonul Typographical Union affecting publisera’ interests. Mr. Driscoll then noted the vast aggregate of interests embodied in the publishers' as sociation and stated that considerable bit terness of feeling has been engendered because of the action of the International Typographical Union in compelling proof readers and linotype machinists to he member* of the Typographical Union, which classes were, he maintained, in no sense to be called printers, and these now requirements occasioned a great deal of trouble. / "You ore asked by the publishers," he said, ” to unite with them In establish ing a Joint arbitration committee to ad just disputes between publishers and lo cal unions that cannat otherwise be set tled, and to act as a board of appeal. If you would do this, a long step would be taken toward the abolition of the strike, boyrou and lockout.” Mr. Driscoll was well received, and a motion of thanks and for the priming of his address in the proceedings wa* adopted.
