GEORGETOWN, KY, August IA
The final instructions were read to
the jury by Judge Cantrill this eve
ming in the Powers trial, and Judge
James Sims made the opening argu-
ment to the jury for the defense. The
defendant, Powers. is in such a ner-
cous and critical tend that his attor-
neys filed a physicians affidavit that
he was unable to attend a night ses-
sion of the court, but Judge Cantrill
said a cot could be provided for him
and he could lie down in the court
room during the speeches. Powers
was able to sit up tonight, however.
The instructions to the jury are con-
sidered by defendants attorneys as be-
ing entirely too severe and tend TO
lessen Powers chances of acquittal, al
though they are still confident of
verdict in his favor.
The court instructs the jury that an
accessory before the fact may be con-
victed, although the person who COM
mitted the act is never identified, ap-
pretended or tried, and that if the jury
believe from the evidence beyond
reasonable doubt that defendant con-
spired 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 pen
itentiary for life, in their discretion.
The court further instructs the jury
that if Powers was a party to con-
spiracy they ought to find him guilty
whether he was present at the time OF
the shooting or wounding, or not, or
whether the identity of the person
shooting and wounding said VIM. Goe-
bel be established or not; and if the
jury shall find the defendant guilty
they ought to fix his punishment as in
Dictated
The court instructs that the jury
cannot convict the defendant upon the
testimony of an accomplice unless
such testimony be corroborated by
other evidence tending to connect the
defendant with the commission of the
offense.
Every fact and circumstance neces-
sary to constitute the guilt of the de-
PENDANT, the court says, ought to be
proved to the satisfaction of the jury
beyond a reasonable doubt; and unless
the defendant has been SO proven gull
ty beyond reasonable doubt, the jury
ought to find him not guilty.
Judge Sims in his speech tonight
said the proof in the case had not
borne out the statements of the case
made for the commonwealth by Col.
T. C. Campbell. He took a shot at
Campbell by saying if the common
wealth's attorney had stated the case
he would have stuck to the facts that
could be proved. He dilated at length
on Coolmans testimony that If the fall
of the bullet was one and thirteen six
| teenths of an inch in passing through
Goebel's body it could only have been
fired from a point seven feet above
Powers Office window.

WASHINGTON, August IA high
government official said to-day that the
indemnity which the United States
would demand for every American
citizen killed or MANNED by the Chi
nese during the present trouble would
be sufficient to comfortably support
their families for the remainer of
their lives. This government does
not want a province, a town, village
or single square foot OF Chinese ter
ritory as indemnity" said the official,
who is close to the President. There
is but one indemnity which they can
give our people, and that is a none
tary indemnity which they can give 10
the families of their American victims
For every one OF these. China must
pay sufficient sum TO keep their fam
lilies from want during their lives.
This government will exact assurance
of satisfactory character that such
state of affairs as now exists in Chi
ma shall not again occur. The nature
of these assurances will De determined
later The collection of indemnity may
prove difficult, and it may be decided
although so far the proposition has not
been considered. to station warships in
the harbors of the principal cities and
officials within these cities to watch
the revenues and protect the interests
of the United States if need be. by
taking charge of such revenues and
reseving some portion of them to APP
ply to the indemnity.
SIN addition to requiring assur-
ances of a restoration of order and the
strictest precautions to prevent a sim
liar state of affairs in the future. a
small body of troops may be necessary
to protect the officials stationed at
these ports. If this plan should be
adopted. the different allies viii doubt
less cooperate.
Effort will be made, of course. to
trace the responsibility for the recent
outrages, but it will be difficult task,
as there viii be little disposition
among the Chinese to tell the truth,
especially when it would implicate one
of their number. The Chinese cannot
be punished indiscriminately for the
atrocities, but wherever such offense il
fixed on an individual, high or low,
his punishment will be required.
IF it can be shown that orders for
the hostilities were issued by the en-
press dowager or the emperor, their
deposition is certain, and another gov
eminent will be set up. If Tuan Is
proved to have ordered the outrages.
the severest punishment may be ac-
corded him"

LONDON, August 14-President
Kruger at one time made a formal ap-
plication to the United States to grant
him sanctuary in case the necessity
for 1t arose. This occurred, according
TO Secretary of State Reitz, of the
Transvaal republic the day Lord Rob-
erts entered Pretoria. The details of
the event have been related to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press by
Mr.. F. w. Unger, who has just return
ed from the Transyaal, and who Sc
Reltz and others. After quoting the
Secretary as saying President Kruger
would never take to the mountains, on
account o fhis age, but would retreat
down the line, finally escaping to Por-
tuguese territory Mr.. Unger said that
the day the British entered Pretoria,
President Kruger sent for Mr.. w. Stan
ley Hollis, the United States consul at
Lorenzo Marques, and Mr.. Hollis was
taken to Machadodorp in special car.
President Kruger asked him if his gov
eminent would grant him president
Kruger an asylum in the
Lorenzo Marques Consulate
until he, Mr.. Kruger, made other ar
rangements for his departure. Pres
ident nruger expressed fears concern
ing his treatment by the Portuguese
government, and wished to guard
against any possible British landing
parties. Mr.. Hollis asked for time to
consult with his governmental and Pres
ident Kruger assured him he would
receive a weeks notice before putting
the plan into execution.
In consequence of this visit to the
Transvaal, and the transmission of
President KruSer's request to Wash
ington, Mr.. Hollis received instruc-
tions from Secretary Hay not to leave
Portuguese territory again. He was
thus compelled to neglect the interests
of the British prisoners at Nooit Ge-
dacht, where there was great suffer-
ing.
Mr. Unger in conclusion said:
Il make this explanation in justice
to Mr.. Hollis, whose action has been
misunderstood both in America and
Great Britain
Mr.. Unger did not know whether
the state department eventually gave
a specific answer to President Kruger's
request.
WASHINGTON, August AT is
said at the State Department that no
formal aDDlicatfOn ever has come from
Consul Hollis, for sanctuary in the
American consulate for President
Kruger, and that the instructions sent
to the consul to confine his energies
to his consular duties was not result
of any discussion of an asylum for the
Boer president, as the department was
not aware that Mr.. Hollis had visited
the President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August IA
The Washington Times prints an in
teresting bit Of political gossip from
Berkeley Springs, w. Va.
Reginald Schroeder, a newspaper
correspondent, just returned from
Berkeley Springs" says the Times,
brings the significant news that at a
recent primary election in that voting
precinct the Democrats cast seventy
three ballots. Four years ago at the
Presidential election Mr.. Bryan re-
ceiyed at the Berkeley Springs poll
only twenty-seven votes. The voting
population of the place has undergone
no material change in four years. The
Democrats did not understand the is
sues of the last campaign and nearly
fifty of them wandered off from the
fold. There are no boilers among them
at the present, however, and every,
Democrat in the precinct is going to
vote for Bryan. If this proportion
holds good through the State there can
be no doubt about West Virginia
swinging back into the Democratic
column this year.

H. Terrell, the confessed murderer of
Express Messenger Lane in Friday
nights Pennsylvania railway robbery,
to-day was removed to Marysville for
preliminary hearing.
At o'clock this morning the an
guish of Miss Costlow, Ferrells fiance,
became unbearable, and after a long
struggle with her pride, she begged her
father to be taken to Ferrell's cell for
a last interview. The visit was con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy.
When they were about to say good
bye, possibly forever, they kissed, and
the young woman was led away. Fer
rell collapsed, and for a time was in a
comatose state. Miss Costlow is pros
trated, and under the care of a physi-
clan.
Ferrells father had an interview to-
day with Mr.. Costlow but nothing was
given out as to it's nature
MARYSVLLLE, o., August 14.-Fer-
rell was arraigned here to-day before
Mayor Hamilton, in the presence of
hundreds of people. The mayor read
the warrant charging Terrell with the
murder of Lane and asked him if he
was guilty or not guilty"
The prisoner replied Not guilty.
and waived examination. He was held
without bond to- await the action of the
grand jury and was at once returned
to the Jail.
Terrell collapsed after he was taken
back to the Jail and is moaning and
crying for his mother DR.. Mills was
called to attend him and endeavored
to quiet him.
A special guard has been placed over
Terrell to keep him from committing
suicide, as he stated he would do.
LOCKPORT, N. Y, August IA
package addressed to sc. w. Caylor,
Lockport, N. "" lies in the safe of the
American express office in this city
awaiting claimant. 1t is supposed to
be the package expressed by Terrell,
the Ohio express robber and murderer
Of Messenger Lane.
The package will be held until
claimed by THE consignee who is not
know here or by the Adams Express
Company from which the contents are
belived to have been stolen.
COLUMBUS, o., August 14.-The eX-
press package received at Lockport, n
Y, addressed to G. w. Caylor is only
dummy. The wrapper, however, is
the original one used by Terrell, the
express robber and as such it is an
important piece of evidence. When the
detectives learned that the mysterious
stranger who stopped at the hotel in
Plain City, Chic, on the night of the
murder and robbery, had expressed a
package to Lockport, n. Y, it was i'm
mediately intercepted at the transfer
office in this city and opened. 1t was
found to contain the stolen express
sacks and envelopes from which the
money and papers had been taken.
While suspecting that the address on
the package was fictitious, the detect
ives nevertheless thought it best to
fix up a dummy" and forward it SO
that in case they should be mistaken
it would still leave a chance for appre-
hending the robber.
