NO MINES LAID .
FOR THE DEMOCRATS,
Keptucky's Republican Adjutant General
Makes slDenial--Damaging Testi.
mony at Powers Trial.

"ouy dp fOWcTS lT1aI.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 26.--Tbe Re-
publican adjutnnt general, Collier,
denied that mines were being laid around
the arsenal and capitol grounds, and in
an explanatory communication to the
Democratic assistant adjutant general.
Murray, Colonel Collier said that some
indiscreet men at the arsenal had dug
trenches and made pretence of laying
mines to create sensation, but the work
was entirely without the sanction or
knowledge of General Collier, and tho
men engaged have been sharply repri-
manded.
At the preliminary examination of
Secretary of State Caleb Powers
charged with conspiracy to kill Goebel,
i. Wharton Golden at one point in his
testimony, said:
John Powers told me they had two
negroes here to kill Goebel They were
Hooker Smith and Dick Coombs."
Golden, who claims to have been a
friend of Secretary Powers and his
brother, John Powers, for years, gave
testimony that was particularly darnag-
ing to John Powers, but he also brought
in the names of many others, including
Charles Finley, w. H. Cotton and Gov
ernor Taylor in his story of the bringing
Of the mountaineers to Frankfort previ-
ous to the assassination. Governor Tay-
lor, however, was not implicated.
Golden had a slight hemorrage, and
later became so weak under the strain Of
the examination that he begged to be
allowed a respite. He was quite nerv-
Gus at times. Golden $ testimony tended
to show that plan was made to bring
several hundred Irregular mountain
feudists" to Frankfort, who would, if
necessary as Golden e: PRESSED it, ego
into the Legislative hall and kill off
enough Democrats to make it our way" :"
The testimony did not show that the
alleged plot to kill Goebel was part Of
the original plan, nor did it contain the
names of those who conceived that idea
But the commonwealth sought to show
by Golden's conversations with various
people that not only John and Caleb
Powers, but others as well, had full
knowledge of the alleged plan of assas-
sination.
Golden, whose illness on the stand
Saturday forced an adjournment of the
court twice, was reported by his ply
sician as very much improved last night.
will probably go on the stand again
", and his wife also, it is said, may
cuirObOrate his testimony.

BLAMED 1T ON HANNA.
Fitzgerald Said He Intcrfered with splen-
did Amendments to shipping
Subsidy Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Representa.
tive Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts,, the
ranking Democratic member of the house
merchant marine committee, made
statement regarding the position Of the
Democratic minority on the shipping
subsidy bill, saying in part:
The present shape Of the measure and the
many good features that have been added to
the bill since its first introduction can he
charged mp TO the insistencc of the Democratic
members that various portions should be
amended. Two practical amendments, how
ever, which have been asked for by the Demo-
cratic members, and to the support OF which at
least three Of the Republican members volun-
teered enough to make majority in the whole
committee were defeated through the in
sstence OF the ship owners trust and the dicta
ton Of senator Hannn.
The first was provision to extend the time
during which Americans could purchase for
eign vessels for another year This policy is
outlined and favored in the report Of Secre
tary Gage. In advocating this amendment be-
fore the committee, stated that saw no rea-
son why the privilege of buying foreign ships
which involved at the same time the building
Of an equal amount Of tonnage in American
ship yards. should be restricted to the Few per
sons and corporations who, being on t. inside
and knowing that this bill probably would be-
come law. have purchased foreign vessels and
thereby secured a monopoly Of this right
The second provision, allowing Americans to
purchase foreign ships wherever they pleased,
to place them under the American flag and
operate them without any subsidy, was like
wise defeated. 1t is well known fact that n
vast amount Of British and Norwegian capital
IL invested every year in the purchase OF all
kinds Of vessels which operate between tho
different ports Of the world picking up ear
goes where they can, and II is admitted on
every side that this method of doing business
furnishes vast opportunities of profitmakng
to 'J.e parties interested
There are various other features in the bill
that nre obnoxious that will he pointed out
when the Democratic minority members make
their report.

THE LORD OF KHART0UM
A POOR FIGHTER.
Roberts Apparently Bundled Him
or to Prciska.

LONDON, March 26.-Mail accounts of
the capture of General Cronjo bring out
interesting points as to the rapidity with
which Lord Roberts changed his plans
when he found that General Cronje had
escaped from Magersfontein, where it
was originally intended to attack or close
in on him.
Lord Kitchener was sent forward to
intercept him. At the battle of Paarde-
berg, Lord Kitchener seems to have
shown that he is better as an organizer
than as II fighter, for it was at his order
that the British infantry repeated tho
blunders of other generals, attacking
intrenched Beers, who allowed the Brit
ishers to get within 900 yards before
opening fire.
As the British had absolutely no cover
they lost heavily and uselcssly, and were
compelled to fall back momentarily with
some amount of confusion, and to with
draw their transport to safe distance.
The fact makes significant com
mentary upon the rumors that have been
i'll circulation of some GOODNESS between
Lord Kitchener and Lord Roberts which
IL said to have accounted for the former
being sent to Prieska to suppress the re-
bellion.

THE FREE TRADERS

Bill Hope to Placate Them In
the Caucus.

WASHINGTON, March "6.--The senate
will give the greater share of its time to
the Porto Ricon question, and the out
look is for continuation of the ami
mated scenes Of last week. Porto Rico,
however, may step aside at the begin
ming Of the week in order to aR nd
Senator Carter an opportunity to secure
consideration for his Alaskan code bill.
The present condition of affairs in
Alaska and the prospect of still greater
influx of people into that territory make
the Alaskan legislation very important,
and the condition Of Porto Ricon legis-
lative affairs is such as to make it con.
venient to give Alaska the much desired
opportunity.
Until the Republican caucus on the
Porto Ricon question today acts, the
senators having charge of the measure
will not desire to press it. The Alaskan
bill probably will not arouse any gen

THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
II WIN lie Taken Up In tho House
Today,

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Thc army
appropriation bill will be taken up to-
day, and doubtless will serve as text
for wide latitude of discussion on mill.
tary affairs in general, and the cost of
the war establishment under the new
condition of affairs. In anticipation of
this, an understanding has been reached
that three days will be given to the de.
bate.
The bill itself carries no legislation on
the organization Of the army, but is
strictly supply measure for the army
on its present basis.
The latter part Of the week will be de-
voted to the naval, the agricultural or
the Notifications appropriation bills, al
though no exact order has yet been fixed
for taking them up.
The naval bill and report are ready,
and acting Chairman Foss is rather de.
sirous of having the naval discussion
follow that on the army. The agricul-
tural bill can be reported on short notice
pnd the Notifications bill is already on
the calendar.
