yesterday morning he sunk into uncon-

Georgetown, KY, July 81. - The
most sensational testimony yet given
In the trial of ex-Secretary of State
Caleb Powers was given yesterday by
Robert Noaks, a Louisville and Nash
vile railroad conductor of Corbin,
Whitley county. The manner of the
witness and the ease and accuracy
with which he detailed events was
such as to make deep impression on
the spectators. During the testimony
against him--the first that has so far
been brought out directly connecting
Powers with the assassination-the de-
PENDANT did not change color At no
time since the trial, whether the evil
dence was favorable or otherwise. has
Powers changed expression more than
to smile occasionally when things were
going his way or to flush barely per-
ceptibly on other occasions.
Armed Men for Intimidation.
Noaks, when called as a witness,
said that John and Caleb Powers and
Charles Finley conferred with him in
November after the election relative to
; bringing armed men to Frankfort at
the time of the meeting of the state
election commission board. They told
him they wanted him to bring as many
men as he could, and that when they
reached Frankfort they should act in
such a manner as to give the governor
a chance to call out the militia. The
object was explained to the witness
as an effort to intimidate the election
. commissioners.
Powers Would Capture Trains.

division, and train No. 26, of the Knox

Thought Finley Too "Shaky."
Witness said Finley went to Louis

| he would pay for them himself. That
day a telegram from Louisville asked
if Finley's check was good for $1,000
Caleb Powers then said: "Finley was

But First the President Insists on Certain
Necessary Conditions.
Washington. July 24-The presi-
dent has heard to the appeal of the
Chinese government as transmitted
through Minister WI, ard has signi-
fed his willingness to mediate be-
tween the imperial government and
the powers, but only upon conditions
which first must be met by the Chinese
government. The exact nature of the
terms proposed by the state depart
ment cannot be stated 1t is known,
however, that the answer is entirely
consistent with the statement of prin-
ciples laid down by Secretary Hay in
his identical note to the powers; and
that it accepts as truthful the Chinese
statements relative to the safety of the
foreign ministers at Picking.
1t would not, of course, be possible
to take even the initial steps toward
mediation were either party to the
negotiations to entertain openly dis
trust of the accuracy of the state
ments of the other. There must be con-
fdence between them. The United
States answer does not go to the
length of the French answer to SINH

which the Chinese government could
not meet-even if so disposed-if it
actually is struggling for it's own eX-
istence. 1t does, however, look to the
immediate relief of the foreign mis-
sionaries in Picking, and to the protec-
ton OF all foreigners, missionaries and
traders in China, and to the restora-
ton of order.
With that much accomplished the
state department feels that it can
properly approach the powers with
the Chinese propositions for a settle
ment for what has occurred. The Chi
nese appeal came to Secretary Hay
Sunday through Minister WI. The
secretary promptly telegraphed it to
the president at Canton and after TAX
ing full day for its consideration the
presidents answer came yesterday aft
ernOon to the state department. 1t was
put in the proper diplomatic form and
copy delivered to Minister WI, who
is to forward it to his own govern
ment.
The last of the answers to Secre-
tary Hays note reciting the Conger
message have come, and all Of them
in terms polite and diplomatic express
utter incredulity in the authenticity of
the COnger message. Consul General
GOOdnoW, himself man of good judg-
ment, also cabled a warning to Secre-
tary Hay against the acceptance of
the message without confirmation. But
the state department has fully cOnSid-
cred the message in all of it's aspects,
has carefully weighed the numerous
objections and suspicious put forth
here and in Europe, and without guar
anteeing the authenticity Of the mes
sage feels it be a matter of prime
duty to act upon the theory that it is
genuine.

brilliant Dash of Anglo-Americans
Against the Chinese.
New York, July PA dispatch
from Chefo0, July 20, says: A brill
liant dash against a large force Of
Chinese at Tientsin was made this
morning by a detachment of Ameri-
can troops, assisted by some English
fusiliers. The object was to capture
a battery of large caliber cannon
which had been doing great damage.
The Ang1oAmerican troops charged
a large fort across an open space and
were exposed to a hot but poorly di-
rected fire from the enemy. They
dashed into the fort, and after engag-
ing the Chinese in a sharp hand-to-
hand fight, put them to flight and re-
manned masters of the fort. Eight
large, modern guns were captured, to-
gether with carts and all the Access
sories- The battery was Immediately
turned upon the fleeing enemy, who
under the well-directed fire suffered
heavy losses. The victory was won
in an incredibly short time against an
overwhelmingly superior force, and,
despite the charge under fire and the
fight in the fort, neither the Americans
nor the British lost a single man. The
Chinesearmy is now retreating toward
