EXCITING SCENE In COURT.
At the Youtary Trial the Prisoner Becomes
HystsricaI aud Loses all Control
Over Him.eIf

Georgetown, KY, Oct. lO.-One OF
the most remarkable scenes ever
enacted in Kentucky court occurred
last night in the Youtsey trial, the
defendant himself being the chief
participant. The court room was
crowded at 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
Williams. who for the first time APP
peared for the prosecution, did the
questioning.
Arthur Gocbel said: 81 talked with
Youtsey the day he was arrested late
in the afternoon in the Jail in Frank
fort in reference to the murder of
my brother
just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in loud voice
said: at is untrue-it is a 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.
Then Youtsey Historically shouted
again. 81 am innocent-there is no
blood on my hands; these men are
swearing my life away"
Youtsey settled back in his chair,
closed his eyes and seemed in a state
of collapse. Various reasons are as
signed for his unseemly outbreak, the
first being that his long confinement
and the strain of the trial caused him
to become hysterical and lose control
Of himself. Another is that he is de-
mented. His condition Is deemed
critical.

DYNAMITE EXPLODES.
The Magazine at the Spruce Mine Goes on

NeighbOrhOOd.

Duluth, MINI, Oct. s.-A special
from Evelth, Mimi, last night re-
ports one of the largest explosions
ever occurring in the state. Seven
thousand five hundred pounds of dyn-
amite in the powder magazine at the
Spruce mine, about half mile from
town, blew up yesterday afternoon.
A hole 100 feet square and 25 feet deep
marks the spot where the magazine
stood. The force of the explosion was
so great that there is not a piece OF
glass over foot square within a
radius of two miles of the mine.
Practically every window and mirror
in Evelth was broken, while in sa-
looms all bottled goods were de-
molished. At least 200 people were
hurt more or less from being thrown

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday, which occupied
about two and a half hours, was de-
voted almost exclusively to discus
sion of the Chinese situation. Special
consideration was given to the French
note and, it is understood, that a
more or less definite conclusion was
reached as to the nature of the reply
which will be made by this govern
ment, but it has not yet been put in
diplomatic form. Its purport will not
be made public for the present.
1t developed yesterday that Mr..
Conger in compliance with sugges-
ton from Secretary Hay had sub
mitted to the state department a list
of ten or twelve names of Chinese Of
ticials who were prominent in the
boxer movement against the foreign
ers and in great measure were re-
sponsibe for the assaults upon the
legations in Pekin. These officials,
Mr.. Conger believes. should be in
cluded with Prince Tuan and others
in any punishments which are to be
inflicted upon those who took prom
inent part in the Pekin outrages. 1t
is not unlikely that the position of
this government, in regard to the
punishment of these officials, will be
stated in the reply to the French note.
Neither automatically nor from a
military point of view has there been
any change in the Chinese situation
here since the reception of the French
note. II is conceded that the failure
of the effort to induce the Chinese
court to return to Pekin has done
much to retard the peace negotiations,
although these are still possible IL the
authority conferred upon Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching is sufficient.
Gen. Chaffee continues to execute
the programme for the withdrawal Of
the military forces already outlined
and he has notified the war depart
ment that he will have all his men
except the legation guard out Of
China inside of fortnight. The
