An Ocean Trip by the Torpedo Boat
Bought From Germany.
New York, Oct. II. The United
States torpedo boat Somers left this
port for Philadelphia by the outside
route, which it is hoped she will be
able to travel by hugging close to the
Jersey coast. Much interest is mani.
tested in the trip, as this is the first
she has made since she was bought
from the German government and
brought across the Atlantic on the
deck of an ocean liner. The Somers
was bought new, as something special
ly fast, but when she arrived here 1t
was found her framework was SO
weak that it had been, badly sprung,
and examination of her machinery re-
vealed many other defects. She has
been undergoing reconstruction at the
Brooklyn navy yard, and would have
made the start on Saturday had it not
been found additional repairs were re-
quired. The Somers is too large to
go through the canal to Philadelphia
and it has been asserted that she y
not seaworthy enough to; make the
ocean trip. She is in command OF

Shanghai, Oct, ILL Hung Chang,
Viceroy Liu Kun vi Of Nankin, one
of the peace commissioners, and Yuan
Shin Kai, the governor of Shangtung,
have telegraphed a protest to the en-
peror and dowager empress against
the removal of the court to SIAM Flu.
They say this action will block the
peace negotiations and lead to hostile
demonstrations by the allies in the
southern province. If this should oc-
cur the court would be in such po-
sition that it would be impossible. to
forward supplies from the south.
There is no definite information as to
the present location Of the court. Two

Canton for the purpose of patrolling

TAKE 1T OR LEAVE 1T.
Increase in Wages All Operators
Will COncede.

VIII SOHCeues
Scranton, Pa, Oct. IL. - Interviews
with prominent operators here yester-
day elected uniform declaration
that no further concessions or modi-
fications of the present offer would
be made, and that the miners must
take it OF leave it, just as it stands.
They say it is plain and complete
and contains all they can or will con-
cede. The 10 per cent increase means
that every man in the anthracite
mines is to have $1.1O for the work
for which he formerly received 81, the
operators say. The powder. matter is
simply a matter Of bookkeeping. In
stead of giving the miners 10 per cent
increase flat he will have his credit
side increased 8 per cent and from
his debit side will be subtracted Z
per cent, or whatever percentage or
expence it is found the difference in
the cost of his powder amounts to.
The purpose is simply to put an end
to the bowling about powder being
sold at exorbitant prices. The fact
that coal is high and the demands of
Individual operators for better allow
ances will keep it high is suggested
as reason why those working UNI

worry about being juggled out of their
increase. The further fact that the
operators do not want strikes and that
they realize the United Mineworkers
organization is here to stay, will. 1T
is pointed out, have tendency to dis
cuade any double dealing on the part
of the operators, even if they were in
clined to do thing of this kind.
Strikers Not So Hopeful.
wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 1.-THE lead
ers of the United Mineworkers of this
part of the anthracite coal field do not
speak so hopefully of a settlement OF
the strike by the Scranton convention
as they did Monday. Some of those
interviewed are afraid that the offer
Of 10 per cent increase in, wages made
by the companies may not last long.
and that after the men are back at
work for while and the market is
pretty well supplied the operators
may reduce wages to the old figures.
I II is only fair to say, however. that
not all Of the United Mineworkers are
|. Of this. opinion. There is a strong
sentiment prevailing that the COM
l4papies Il re sincere and that the In
T'crease IA wages will be permanent.

There was recently discovered near
the Ocklockonnee river, Florida, what
is believed by experts to be the most
wonderfully pure vein of fuller's earth
ever discovered This vein is said to
yield immense quantities of this pc
culiar earth, which stands the 100 test
that is to say, that it is absolutely
pure. Nearly all the mines of this
kind of earth contain. besides the val
liable commodity, rock, flint, gravel
sand, etc, but this deposit is entirely
free of such substances.

the most remarkable scenes ever en-.

Last night III the Y6utsey trial, the
defendant himself being the CHIEF
participant. The court room 4, wa
crowded ut the time and the excite
ment was intense. Dee Armstrong,
the Louisville detective. had just told
Of his talks with Youtsey before and
after his arrest. Then Arthur Goebel
was put on the stand and Judge Ben

peared for the prosecution. did the
questioning. Arthur Goebel said:
II talked with Youtsey the day he
was arrested late in the afternoon at
the Jail in Frankfort about the muir.
der of my brother"
Just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in loud voice
said:
"It is not true-it is lie-I never
spoke word to that man in my life.
nor he to me-"
Col Crawford told him to be quiet
and sit down, and others took hold Of
him.
II will not sit down. I never said a
word to that nan-it is untrue"
He was shouting by this time, and
every one was on tiptoe with excite
ment. Youtsey's wife sprang to his
side and while endeavoring to make
him sit down, could be heard saying:
"Now you have killed my husband,
I suppose you are satisfied

my hands; these men are swearing
my life away
Two or three deputy sheriffs went
over and grabbed him. He struggled
wildly and said:
"Let me alone-I will not sit down."
Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat
sphynx-like in the witness chair and
never turned his head. Finally, after
Youtsey was forced into a seat, he
shouted again:
"Goebel is not dead-all the demons
in hell could not kill him."
"Mr. Sheriff, if the defendant does
not behave himself, put handsuffs on
him." said Judge Cantrill.
Meanwhile the audience could not
be forced to keep their seats until the
judge threatened to fine those who
stood up. Youtsey settled back in
his chair, closed his, eyes and seemed
in state of collapse. He waived his
hand above his head in an aimless
sort of way and groaned and cried
Historically. Finally quiet was re-
stored and Judge Williams asked Ar
thur Goebel another question, when
Col. Crawford asked postponement
of the trial till to-day on account Of
the defendants condition.
After the crowd had passed out
Jailer Reid and deputies carried Yout-
sey to the Jail, he being unable to
walk. Various reasons are assigned
for his unseemly outbreak, the first
being that his long confinement and
strain of the trial caused him to be-
come hysterical and lose control OF
himself. Another is that he is really
demented, as shown by his remark
that Goehel was not dead. He is be-
ing attended by physicians and rela-
tives at the Jail and his condition is
deemed critical.
