sample OF Kentucky Politics.

Lexington, Ky. Sept. 1.-Former Con-
gresham w. G. Owens. who succeeded
Col. W. G. p. Breckenridge in the house,
spoke here last night in opposition to
the election of William Goebel, the reg
ular democratic nominee for governor
oioebel said at Bowling Green that
Owens opposition to his election was
due TO Goebel's fight for law making
gambling a felony. He said gambling
was Owens regular business.
Owens last night characterized Goebel
as constituencies creature and de-
serbed in detail his difficulty with John
G, Sanford, theeNntuclsy lawyer, whom
he killed, and whose widow is now an
inmate of the lunatic asylum here,
charging that Goebel purposely mur-
dered Sanford
He declared Goebel lied TO Stone, his
opponent in the race for the nomination,
and had cheated the people by securing
the nomination with a minority of the
delegates.
This is the reason why oppose his
election" he said. II have convicted
him of murder. robbery and lying"
Owens begged that democrats vote for
John Young Brown and defeat Goebel,
whom he declared to be the worst foe
of the democratic party. Owens speech
has caused sensation. 1t is the se-
verest denunciation of a public man ut
tered by any Kentucky speaker since
the famous race of Col Breckinridge
after his Washington trial

Gen. Frederick Funston Gives Some
Interesting Views Of the Phil
ippine Problem.
Says Complete Defeat and Disband-
ing Of Aguinaldo's Army is
Only Solution.
Cavalry Greatly Needed In Pushing
Operations The Task Not
So Difficult.

Manila, Sept. 1.-Of the troops about
to return to the United States the Kan
sans will leave on the transport Tartar,
the Washington men aboard the Penn
sylvania and the Nevada cavalry on the
Ohio. All will depart within a week.
Eight hundred Kansans will return and
200 remain, 15O re-enlisting. OF the
Washlngtons SIS will embark, while
eight officers and FOG men will stay,
most of them re-enlisting.
Gen. Frederick Funston and wife are
with the Kansas regiment. Funston has
undergone an operation necessitated by
an injury resulting from a fall from his
horse while serving in the Cuban army.
In an interview Funston said he would
not mind staying in Luzon. He clislikes
war, but inasmuch as there is fighting
to be done he would like to remain and
bring 1t to close. Speaking of the fu-
ture, he said:
THE only solution OF the problem will
be whipping the insurgents. do not
think they will surrender. When we be-

larger scale in the autumn we will scat
ter them into small bands and think
when the soldiers composing these
bands see they are persistently pursued
they will throw away or hide their arms
and return to the pursuits Of peace. A
year hence small bodies of armed men
will be able to go anywhere in Luzon.
The island is always infected with ban
dts and 1t is never safe for Europeans
to travel in. Probably after the end of
the fighting highwaymen will be more
numerous, because members of Agui-
naldo's army, who have lived for years
with guns in their hands, have acquired
taste for bush life and would rather
continue highwaymen than return to
work.
Cavalry is greatly needed here. The
country. when dry. is superb for cav
airy operations. The insurgents have
none. One of their strong points is the
ability to retreat rapidly. The cavalry
could overtake and hopelessly scatter
and punish them. The capture of Agui-
naldo by cavalry would be less detfi-
cult proposition than the capture Of
Apache chiefs in Arizona"

The Pretoria correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says:
president Kruger is not likely to
agree to confer with Sir Alfred Miner
at Cape Town, but he might go to

The Daily Chronicle publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from Cape Town
1T is rumored here that Sir Alfred
Miner. governor of the Cape, Colony,
contemplates dismisslng the Schreiner
ministry under his special powers. If
he does 1t is feared that q rebellion will
break out. as the Dutch would believe
that Great Britain Is again forcing CECIL

to meet secretly tonight for the pur-
pose Of considering reply.
President Kruger asserted. that in the
convention OF 1851 the suzerainty of
Great Britain was distinctly stated, but
he added there was no mention of 1t in
the convention OF 1884. He denied the
government had excluded the British
from political rights
A member OF the executive council ex-
plained that when the Transvaal's re-
ply to the joint commission dispatch
was ready the state attorney inter-
viewed the British diplomatic agent,
Mr.. ConyinghamG Greene, in conse-
quence of which the last reply framed
held that OF Mr.. Chamberlain's dis
patch was no reply to theirs. Mr..
Greene then cabled to Great Britain
certain suggestions. to which Great
Britain replied that il the Transvaal
made similar proposals they would be
considered on their merits. This was
the reply containing the alternative
proposals of yesterday.
The Transvaal's note to Great Britain
offering the five-year franchise and the
other concessions was strongly worded.
1t explained that the concessions were
made with sincere desire fully to
settle all differences, to put an end to
strained relations, and to avert a dis
astrous war. Therefore a prompt an
swer was requested.
The note of Mr.. Conyingham-Green
in reply was conciliatory and tanta-
mount 10 an acceptance OF the nVe-year
offer. 1t agreed to waive the suggested
commission of inquiry, provided rep
resentative. to be appointed by Sir Al
fred Miner, should be given facilities in
Pretoria TO make an investigation of the
franchise question and provided the re-
port of such representative should
prove satisfactory. Otherwise the
Transvaal government was requested
to await further suggestions from the
imperial government before submitting
new proposals to the volksraad.

.gested a further conference at Cape

SEEKING TO AVOID wAn.
Chamberlain Aiming to Secure Peace
With Transyaal-Compltc Sit


London, Sept. 1.-The situation in
South Africa has become rather compli-
Gated. The strong feeling of the Dutch
element in the Cape Colony evidently
influences the secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, to do every
thing possible to avert rupture and
explains the further endeavor after a
conference at Cape Town to arrange
for the constitution of an arbitration
court to deal with the question of suzer-
ainty which, rather than franchise,
now takes the leading place in the con-
troversy
Portugal's action in permitting the
transit OF the ammunition consigned to
the Transvaal by way Of Delagoa Bay
occasioned some surprise at first, but
after the action of the Cape government
and until an actual state of warfare ex-
lists, 1t is recognized that the Portu-
guese government could hardly have
acted otherwise.
The British papers now solace them
selves with the remark that England
can easily prevent such shipment IL the
crisis demands extreme measures and
that the action of Portugal does not
imply unfriendliness toward Great Brit
ain. The Standard, however, says:
Diplomatic dalliance only postpones
the evil day and prepares for us a still
severer conflict. Until we resort to de-
cisive measures every day adds to the
offensive and defensive strength of the
Beers and proportionately fosters their
infatuated belief in their own invinc-
ibility, which lies at the root of their
obduracy. Thus we are confronted
with an exceedingly grave question"
"Mr. Chamberlains dispatches" says
the Daily News. exhibit game of
patience almost in the aspect Of COM
edy."
The special dispatches from Jo-
hannesburg express the belief that the
volksraad will disapprove President
Kruger going to Cape Town.
General Joubert is credited with say
ing: There will not be war, but Great
Britain will not get all she wants."
The Outlanders are much irritated at
prospect of further delays. The Cape
Town correspondent Of the Daily Mail
says:
Much disappointment is felt here at
the proposal OF conference, as tending
y prolong the agony indefinitely.
