SENATOR Elect Blackburn on

Kentucky, who was one of the

word of the shooting of Mr.. Goe-
bell, made the following state.

"The assassination of Goebel
has been predicted for months,
so that it would hardly be correct
to say that it was altogether I'M

ed ruffians from the mountains
into Frankfort within the last few
days; their indefensible conduct
while in the capital city, coupled
with threats of resort to violence
all pointed to a elimination
like this.
"Whetber significant or not,
it is peculiarly unfortunate that
the shots of the assassin should
have been fired from the build
ing exclusively occupied by Gov.
Taylor and other Republican
State officials. Unless the assas-
sin can be identified the public
will naturally conclude that the
shooting was prearranged and
the building filled with those
who would protect the perpetra-
tors from Identification"

A Memorial From The Johns
Hopkins University to the
Legislature of Mary
land.
To the General Assembly OF the
State of Maryland:

10 me General Assembly OF the
State of Maryland:
The appropriation which was
made by the last Assembly for
the support of the Johns Hopkins
University, with gifts of a still
larger amount from individual
citizens Of Baltimore, enabled
the university to continue it's
work with vigOr and success.
The serious embarrassments
which threatened its life were
thus for time ayerted, and the
trustees and faculty were
strengthened in their effort TO
maintain the university on the
high plane which it has held
since its foundation, a quarter of
a century ago. 1t is not possible
in a brief memorial to set fOrtu
all the activities of the university;
but attention is called to the
large number of students, Mary.
landers and those who come to
Maryland from different States
for the purpose of continuing
their education: to the increased
renown of the staff of instructors;
to the eight scientific periodicals
that are here published, and dis.
tributed throughout the scientific
world; to the books aud memoirs
thai are written by the professors;
to the libraries: collections, and
laboratories here maintained; to
the lectures offered to the public,
and especially to the teachers of
the public schools; to the distinc.
ton of the Medical School; to the
recOg nized usefulness of the
three State bureaus which are
here oided,-the Geological Sur
vey, the Weather Service, and
the Improvement Of Highways;
to the co operation of the mem
bers of the university in every
measure which will contribute to
the health, education and pros
perity of the people of Maryland,
and finally to the endeavor here
put forth to enlarge the bounds of
human knowledge and set forth
it's applications to the service of
mankind.
The need of pecuniary support
is as great now as it was two
years ago. The litigation in
which the. university was then
involved was settled by virtual
compromise, which has left the
endowment seriously impaired.
Unless it is greatly enlarged, the
Johns Hopkins University must
relinquish the position which it
now holds among the educational
forces of this country.
You are respectfully urged, for
the honor and good of the State,
for the benefit of the rising gen
GRAFTON, and for the promotion
among our people Of science, lit
erature and education. to con-
time the appropriation which has
proved so serviceable during the
past two years.

Within few hours of the time when
arguments were 10 have begun on his
contest for the Covernorship of Ken
lucky, State Senator William Goebel
was shot and perhaps fatally wound
ed at Frankfort, Tuesday, Jan. 80.
At 9 o'clock, Jan. 81, the physicians
did not think he would live.
He was approaching the front steps
of the State House, shortly after IL
o'clock, when a marksman hidden In
the east wing of the building opened
fire upon him.
Five shots were fired, apparently
from the third story centre window
on the west side Of the building. Only
the first took effect 1t entered Sena-
tor Goebers right breast, near the
armpit, ranged downward and trans
versely through the right lung, back
of and below the heart, and emerged
to the left of the spinal column at
about the waist line.
Harland Whitaker, mountaineer.
of Governor Taylor county, is under
arrest on suspicion. of having shot
Senator Goebel. He was caught run
ming out of the east wing after the
shooting, and three loaded pistols were
found upon him. None had been fired,
and he declares that he is Democrat
and ran out to see what was the trou-
BILE. He was taken to Louisville, be-
cause it was feared that he might be
made the victim of mob.
Great excitement followed the shoot
ing. Hundreds Of armed men congre-
gated in the streets, merchants closed
their stores, the schools were dis
missed, women and children disap-
peared from the streets, and both
houses of the Legislature adjourned.
The State Capitol grounds are in
possession of the troops, and nobody
is permitted upon them.
Hundreds of Goebel men have been
rushing into the city since the shoot
ing. and serious trouble is feared.
Senator Goebel was walking from
the Capitol Hotel to the State House
with Colonel Jack" Chinn, noted
character of the state, who was act
ing as his body guard. AS they neared
the steps the Senator was slightly in
the lead The report of shot was
heard, and Senator Goebel, after a
moment, fell at the feet of ChiRn, say
ing: They've got me, Jack"
AS Chinn bent over the wounded
man four bullets passed by him. Then
the concealed marksman stopped fir
ing, and soon men with pistols in =, cir
hands came tumbling out of the State
House doors.
Meantime no effort had been made
to catch the assassin. Whitaker
finally was seen running from the
rear of the building toward the Ad-
jutant Generals Office in the west
wing. The crowd bounced upon him
in moment, shouting, "You murder
err" and Kill him!" ]. E. Miller, an
old Waterman, pinioned his arms and
others disarmed him. He had three
big pistols and sixty cartridges. His
captors handled him roughly, but he
begged to be heard, swearing that he
had not fired a shot. The police took
him to jail unframed. There was no
evidence against him and all his pis-
tolls were fully loaded and apparently
had not been used.

 S. C. White, of this city, returned from Bennett Saturday much incensed at their manner of treating Skagwav people. In speaking of the matter, he said:
 "Skagway people are charged from ten to twentv>hve per cent higher tariff rates at Bennett than are shippers from Seattle and other Pacific Coast points. l have been at Bennett some time on business, and my attention has been called to numerous instances of the discrimination.
 Particularly do l recall at this time the case of Mrs. Conrad of Skagwav. She had q lot of goods shipped to her by express from Seattle to Skagwav. Without taking the goods out of the express office at this point, she had them re-shipped to Bennett When she arrived at Bennett, the Cana dian customs officers refused to permit her to pay duty on her invoices, but insisted upon advancing her prices 25 per cent, After explaining the actual condition, she managed to induce them to be content with ten per cent. advance on her invoice prices,
 "Mr. Perl had his goods all advanced ten per cent over his invoice price,
 Miss Eversoe, of this city, recetnlv went to Bennett with stock of goods she was taking to start store at White Horse. The customs authorities attempted to raise all her invoices, direct from Seattle, 2s per cent. She refused to pay it at the time and returned to Skagway, What she finally dlo, if any thing, do not know.
 "There are some goods, like kerosene oil for instance, that this action of the GUS toms officials at Bennett make impossible to ship from Skagwav to the inside at all The advance on tariff rates Is actually pro hibitive.
 ''lt anyone makes objection, they arr told to buy their goods in Victoria O Vancouver.
 'The purpose of this discrimination is of course, in the interest of Vancouve merchants. They are evidently trying t' shut out such American goods as are no , manufactured in Canada unless the Van couver or Victoria merchant gets his com , mission"
