FIGHT WITH A BALD EAGLE.
Desperate Encounter of Two Kansas
Boys with the Big Bird.

Special DlsIatch To The Evening Star.
INDEPENDENCE. Kan, July 23.-James
and Grover Parker, living in the Indian
territory, south of here, had a fierce battle
with a large bald eagle the other day.
which is particularly noteworthy in that
the eagle was killed by the older brother
who is only eleven years old. They were
on their way home, when the bird swooped
down upon them, striking the younger boy
and knocking him to the ground senseless
Before the elder brother could realize what
had happened the bird had struck him in
the face and knocked him down. As he
started to get up he saw the infuriated
eagle coming at him the second time, and.
seiZing a wagon spoke that was lying near
he hit the bird as it came closer injuriug it
slightly. Again, the third time, it charged
down upon the boys and seemed to be MAX
ing for the younger brother, who was still
lying the ground unconscious. but the
older boy quickly got between his brother
and the bird, and succeeded in striking it
a blow that laid it dead at his feet. The
bird is to be stuffed and will be kept
curiosity on account of its size.

A CANDID DIPLOMAT.
Minister Wu's Method in Dealing With
Those With Whom He Has Bu.inexs

A good deal has been said in some of the
newspapers of the country about the decep-
tive methods of Chinese diplomacy What
ever Chinese diplomats may be as rule,
every one who has occasion to visit the
Chinese legation in this city will see every
evidence of candor in his reception and
treatment. Minister Wu, for instance, never
resorts to that ruse of being out when he
does not wish to see a caller for any rea-
SON When he doesn't want to see any one
he says 50, and those who attend to his
door have never been taught polite lies"
OF any kind in dealing with his callers If
ne does not wish to see caller he leaves
word to that effect, together with the rea-
son why he desires to be secluded The
minister himself, as every one knows who
has met and talked with him, is often cam
did TO a degree of bluntness asking pointed
questions and giving outspoken answers
when he gives an answer at all. Whenever
subject is touched upon that he desires to
avoid he simply evades the question, and
that is all there is to it.

Witness Swears Youtsey Said He Had
to Be Put Out of the Way.
JOHN RICKETTS, DAMAGING TALE
Recounts the Occurrences in State
House Before the Assassination.
PLANS OF PROSECUTION

GEORGETOWN, KY. July 23.-Specta-
tors were scarce today when the trial was
resumed of Caleb Powers charged with
completely in the Goebel shooting. The
prosecution gave notice that they would ex-
cuse half dozen persons summoned
witnesses for that side. Among those ex-
cused was Ike Golden. brother of Sergt.
F. Wharton Golden
Lieut.. John Ricketts,. an officer in the
Barbourville militia company of which John
Powers was captain, was the first witness.
He went to Frankfort January % with the
trainload of mountaineers. Before the train
reached Frankfort witness said the men
were told to report to W. H. Culton for ra-
tions. The men were armed with guns and
pistols. Arriving at Frankfort they took
possession of the agricultural building and
stacked their guns there.
Fund to Pay GoebeIs Assassin.
Witness said each morning crowd Of
from 800 to 900 mounted men occupied the
yard in front of the executive building. He
Youtsey frequently and talked with
him the day before the assassination. Yout-
sey said Goebel had to be put out Of the
way, and he (Youtsey) had 500 which he
would give for that purpose, and knew ten
or twelve others who would also contribute
to such fund. Youtsey also said Goebel
could be killed from the executive building:
that the assassin could escape through the
basement and never be detected. He said
his job depended on Goebel being killed.
Before the Murder.
Fifteen minutes before the assassination,
the witness said. Youtsey and the latter
told him he wanted twenty-five or thirty
men to accompany him to the executive
building. Continuing, the witness said:
'Ioutsey put us inside the executive build
ing near the stairs. He told US something
was going to happen and We must remain
there. When he started through the hall
l left and went into private residence
across the street from the executive build
ing. 1t was but a few minutes when /
heard the shots. l did not know any of the
men whom L had left at the foot of the
stairs in the executive building
The men whom Youtsey placed were just
outside the office of the secretary of state
Witness said he left because he did not
want TO be present in case of "a killing"
Plans of State Counsel.
1t was said last night that the prosecu-
tion will not allow any of its evidence as to
who fired the shot that killed Goebel to
come out on this trial. Powers is indicted
only as an accessory before the fact and
all of the evidence TO the identity of the
assassin is apparently to be held In reserve
for the trial of Jim Howard Berry Howard
and others indicted both as principals and
accessories.
The prosecution may close its direct testi-
mony the latter part of the week
The lawyers for the defense decline to say
whether the defendant Will be put on the
stand 1t is understood that neither Yout-

TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH
THIS GOVERNMENT HAS NOTHING TO
LOSE FROM THAT COURSE
Relief Operations, However, Are Not
to Be Reconsideration of
the Powers.

1t is true that the Chinese imperial gov
ernment has asked the friendly offices of
this government to prevent war between
China and the powers. While there has
rot yet been q reply framed, or at least the
department will not acknowledge that
there has, the disposition of the United
States IS pacific and our policy is to bring
about peace and good order, regarding
repara.ion for injury done to foreigners
though imperative, as not Immediately
pressing.
VIII Act In Good Faith.
This government proposes to act in good
faith toward China and to accept the as
surances of the Chinese government IN
good faith until there shall be reason to do
otherwise. 1t is felt that We have nothing
to lose from this course. The relief opera
tons are not retarded by the attitude as
sumed by the United States. On the con-
trary, the assumption that our informat tior
that the foreign ministers still live should
influence the allied forces to greater ac-
tlvity in their effort to reach Pekin. and
it has increased our efforts in that drec-
ton. If there is any unnecessary delay in
this movement it may be charged to the
assumption to the contrary by the other
powers. 1t begins to look as if other pow
ers were aggressive in irritation but not IN
action. 1t is, perhaps, unfortunate that at
the very beginning of the trouble this
government was not able to send to China
a sufficient body of troops to warrant an
independent expedition for the relief OF
our people at Pekin. There is no doubt
that if our force were sufficient at this
time the American commander would be
ordered to move forward alone if the forces
of the other powers were not yet ready to
act in cooperation.
The Chinese Edict.
The Chinese imperial edict Of the 1Ith.
commanding the protection Of foreigners
and the punishment Of rioters and mur-
derers, which was transmitted to our State
Department, and the text of which is
given out for publication today, is accepted
In good faith by the department. If 1T
should appear later that the department is
deceived in crediting the Chinese govern
ment with sincerity, it is not believed that
our position will be prejudced in the least
by our having ourselves adopted an atti-
tude of frankness. Whatever doubt there
may be to the genuineness of the Con-
ger dispatch, or of the sincerity of the
edicts the policy of the department is to
give China the benefit of the doubt. but
without in the least degree relaxing our ef
forts 10 hasten relief of our pc lple. An ad-
ditional reason for believing in the authen-
ticity of the Conger dispatch and the edct
is that if China We're guilty of duplicity in
these. she would probably want to conceal
the fact of the German minister's death,
which she might have prevented from be-
rest to be living if they are actually deal.
