sENATOR GOEBEL,S RECORD.
Made of the Right Material to Fight the
Southern Pacific.

SOutheTn FdctTc.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. Ex-senator
Goebel's bill to repeal the charter under
which the Southern Pacific Railway is
operating, is progressing slowly. 1t re-
ceived its second reading yesterday. and
without much talk went over. Its defense
will develop, it is believed, when it comes
up for the final reading.
Senator William Goebel, who introduced
the bill, was born in Pennsylvania about
forty-five years ago, and with his parents
moved to Covington, KY, in 1866. He
was educated at Gambler College and the
Cincinnati Law School. In his youth he
took little or no interest in politics, but
was by his recognized ability soon forced
to take prominent part in politics of
Kenton County.
He allied himself with the opposition to
a faction which had been in control of the
Democratic machinery for years, and by
his skillful manipulation and personal
popularity the "gang" was displaced, and
ever since he has had absolute control of
the politics of the county.
He has been a member of the State
Senate for eight years and was president
pro tenn. of that body during one session.
AS result of political troubles on April
16, 1885, he shot and killed John L. Sand
ford, cashier of the Farmers and Traders
Bank of Covington. He was acquitted on
the ground of self-defense.
AS member of the Senate he has had
many bills of great benefit to Covington
enacted and has by his repeated election
demonstrated the fact that he is the most
popular man in Kenton County.

LOSS OF THE RAWKINs.
Onder R"tfngs of Courts the Cargo Was
Legitimate Merchandise

IeDittnnte MeTchU7ldfSe.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 30.-The Times
tomorrow will publish an authoritative
statement on behalf of the Cubans regard
ing the ill-fated Garcia expedition.
The expedition, according to the Times
authority, was not fighting one. The
men on the steamer j. w. Hawkins were
not enrolled, and the arms and ammuni-
ton were merchandise, according to the
rulings Of the courts. The Times infor-
mant, continuing, says:
There is no ground for entertaining for
an instant belief thst traitor scuttled
the Hawkins. Confronted with fact and
logic such suggestion simply fills up the
list OF theories, which is long one.
"fhe way the vessel came to founder is
perfectly well known. 1t was simply on
account of her unseaworthiness. Not
only was she badly constructed and had
pumps out of order, but there were many
causes that contributed to her destruction.
There should be no suspicion that any
member OF the Junta profited in any way
by the acquisition of the Hawkins. will.
however, risk the contingency of the exist.

Iowa, who spoke in opposition to the
Union Pacific reorganization scheme and
insisted that in any settlement of the
Union Pacific Railroad question the future
control of the road should not be limited
to the so-called reorganization committee,
but should be open to all bidders.
Hilborn then made an argument against
re-funding the Pacific railroad debts. He
said that, notwithstanding Tweed's asser-
ton to the contrary, he believed, and nine
tenths Of the people of California believed,
that re-funding the Pacific railroad debts
would be equivalent to special tax on the
people of that region, in the form OF exces-
sive freights and fares, to the amount OF
the debts with interest.
He argued that the Central Pacific Rail
road Company could not legally make re-
funding agreement extending beyond 1911,
because under the law OF California it
would absolutely cease to exist at that
time, without any possibility under that
law of reviying it.
He stated that, regardless of his own
opinions on the matter, nine-tenths of the
people he represented were in favor of
foreclosure of the mortgages, and nearly
that proportion were in favor of Govern
ment ownership, and that, representing
the opinion and desire. of his constituents,
he was opposed to any funding scheme
and in favor of foreclosure, whether it re-
suited in Government ownership or not.
Several questions were asked by MEM
bers of the committee, to which Hilborn
replied that he desired to discuss only
such phases of the question as he had spe-
cially examined, and preferred leaving all
other questions to his colleague, Mcguire,
who had thoroughly examined and con
sidered the whole matter. The committee
adjourned with the understanding that
Mcguire will be heard for two hours to-
morrow afternoon.
Johnson of California was alert and ner-
vous as usual in seeing that no mistake

RIGHTS OF BELL1GERENCE.
Why the United States Viii Hesitate In
According IT.

Why the United States WiU Hesitate In
according 1t.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-State
Department officials do not believe that
the President will have any hesitation in
transmitting to the Spanish Governme mt
the Cuban resolution without other COM
ment than that he is requested to DO so by
action of Congress. 1t is believed that he
will not take upon himself any response
bility in the matter, but will let the re-
sponsib bility for the reply which Spain can
be relied upon to make rest wholly with
Congress, the idea being that in passing
wnat is nothing more than a resolution of
sympathy the Senate in particular is no t
thoroughly advised of the state of affairs in
Cuba and the manner in which the war is
being conducted.
Secretary OIney and the President are
thought to have fully advised themselves
of the difficulties which would arise if
belligerency were recognized by either the
United States or Spain, or both. With
such recognition Spain would at once be
absolved from all responsibility on account
of losses by foreigners in the island either
from destruction of property or loss of
trade, while it was not seen that the in

also keenly appreciated that while it
might be possible to compel the Spaniards
to conduct their warfare in accordance
with such human attitude toward captives
as is universally recognized by civilized
nations, it would be impossible to under
take the responsibility of guaranteeing
the same line of action by the insurgents.
This difficulty is heightened by the fact
that the Cubans have no uniforms to dis
tinguish them from lawless bands which
are protiting by the general demoraliza-
tion of the island to pillage and plunder
broadcast.
In the Franco-German war the Germans
shot all the francs-tireurs they could ca tc b,
without trial or inv estigation, and among
the so-called beiligerent rights in the COM
bat of those two highly civilized nations
either had the right-and exercised ito
kill all spies, dynamiters and others with
out uniforms, on sight. Unless the United
States can prevent the Cubans themselves
from carrying on barbarous warfare, State
Department officials declare that an at
tempt to compel Spain to act humanely

Spanish sovereignty, which certainly is
not contemplated

LONDON, Eng, Jan. 30.-The Standard s
Madrid's correspondent telegraphs that,
with a view to pacIfying the public and
the newspapers that have been irritated by
the Cuban resolution introduced in the
American Senate. the Government organs
remark that the hitherto perfectly cor
rect and friendly attitude of President
Cleveland and his Cabinet toward Spain
contrasts strongly with the sympathy in
the United States for the insurgents. Some
of the newspapers urge the Government
to maintain resolute attitude and show
the United States that Spaniards will not
tolerate interference with their affairs.
