ASK CONTINUANCE
 IN YOUTSEY CASE
Motion Based on Illness of De- fendant and Other Causes.
PASSED UNTIL THURSDAY
Expected to be Proved by Ab- sent Witnesses = Taylor
 May be Present

Georgetown, Ky, August 20.-The de- fense this afternoon filed a motion for continuance until the October term of the case of Henry E. Youtsey, the young au- ditor's stenographer who is indicted as one of the principals in the Goebel mur- der. The motion is based on the illness of the defendant, supported by the affidavits of the two physicians; on the illness of his attorneys, and also on the absence of a large number of important witnesses. An affidavit was also filed by his counsel stating that subponeas had been issued and returned unserved in the cases of a number who were desired as witnesses, and the defendant makes affidavit as to what he expects to prove by them.
 Absent Witnesses
 By ex-Governor W. S. Taylor, Charles Finley, w. J. Davidson and R. N Miller all of whom are out of the State he says he will prove that he was in the executive office on January 2 with a gun solely for the purpose of protecting the building and occupants from expected riot
 He says that Taylor and Miller will test- " that upon entering the executive office immediately after the shooting, Youtsey did not say that Goebel had been killed but that he did not know what had happened. That Charles Finley will testify that there was but one key to the Secretary of States onlce, that Mrs c. E. Mason will testify that she saw the defendant walk up the steps to the east door of the executive building so soon after the shooting that he could not have been engaged in it; that ex- Governor W. O. Bradley will say he never talked with W. H. Culton or anybody else regarding a rumor that Youtsey contem- plated killing Goebel.
 Passed Until Thursday
 The court did not pass directly upon the motion for a continuance, but said that only one of the grounds set up in the affi- davit was to be considered, that of the illness of the defendant. He therefore post poned the trial till next Thursday morning, by which time 1t would be determined whether Youtsey will be able to stand trial During the sparring between the counsel over the matter, Col L. J. Crawford, Yout- seys half brother, made statement that he believed it possible to get all the absent witnesses here in October, including ex- Governor Taylor, Charles Finley and R. N. Miller. The venire of jurymen were then called, and the defense, through Col. Nell son, moved to discharge this venire and substitute one drawn from the jury wheel. Argument over this was not finished, and Judge Cantrll will sit to hear argument tomorrow

In the American About Mr.. Carmack.
The speech made Wednesday night
by Mr.. Carmack was magnificent

the work of man of rare gifts, with

Mr.. McKinley's alarm over the de-
lection of German voters on account Of
the imperialistic policy of his admins
tration, caused him to request a per-
sonal friend to make an investigation.
When he was in Washington last week
the result of that investigation was
submitted to him, and his alarm was
increased thereby. 1t is admitted by
republicans that if thirty per cent Of
the Germans in the middle western
statos, who voted for Mckinley four
years ago, vote for Bryan this year his
election will be assured. That's why
they are alarmed.

The difficulty of getting the truth
from this administration about any
thing, and the ability of man with
sufficient pull to hang on to govern
ment job after being found guilty of
crookedness in office, are demonstrated
in the case of George B. Hamlet, an in
speetor of the post office department,
who was found guilty of issuing gov
eminent transportation for private in
dividuals for personal gain. Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
recommended Hamlet's dismissal, and
it was officially announced that he had
been dismissed Then Hamlet brought
his pull to bear and he was granted
further time to answer the charge OF
which he had been found guilty, and
he is still drawing his salary. Chief
Inspector Cochran said when asked
about the case: "Hamlet is still in the
employ of the government. For furth
or information 1 would refer you to the
fourth assistant postmaster general. y
1t is not surprising that so many re.
spectacle republicans are announcing
their intention to vote for Bryan and
Stevenson.

1t is humiliating to an Americans
pride to know that China's defiance of
the much-applauded demand of Secre-
tary Hay to be Immediately put into
communication with our minister, in
the shape of notice that none of the
foreign ministers at Pekin would be
allowed to send or receive cipher mes
sages, had to be handed by the Chinese
minister to an assistant secretary. 1t
is another case of "like master like
man." Seeing that Mr.. Mckinley did
not regard it as necessary to stay in
Washington and attend to his public
duties, Secretary Hay, who is supposed
to be personally in charge of ali i'm
portant matters relating to our foreign
policy, went off on pleasure iaunt
himself, and they say at the state de-
partment that he is not expected to re-
turn inside of two weeks, when Mr.. Nc
Kinley will be due for another visit to
talk personal politics with his cronies,
all of which shows that the administra-
ton wishes to delay the settlement of
this Chinese business.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat says:
"North Carolina has yet to prove that
it can disfranchise $4,000 voters and
still claim the same representation in
congress. What then shall be done
to Massachusetts which has disfran-
chised fully 965, 900 voters? Massachu-
sets has an educational qualification
and the Australian bollot system. Ac-
cording to the census of 1890 there were
665, 900 voters in that state. There
were also ia, 46S illiterates. The total
vote IN 1896 was 40f, 1868, which is 965,
900 less than the total population. This
enormous number of voters was of
course be disfranchised by the election
laws of Massachusetts,. That state
would consequently lose 40 per cent Of
its representation in congress. Com
