By this time the convict, Caleb Pow
ers. under life sentence for completely in
the murder of the late Governor Goebel. is
safe in the strong prison at Louisville, The
Georgetown Jail is weak affair and the
jailer IS described as a rabid Taylor parti-
san. Judge CantriH who presided at the
trial has recently suspected q Republican
plot to rescue Powers and carry him either
to Indiana under the protection of Cover
nor Mount, or to New York where MS
friends would expect Governor Roosevelt
to give him asylum. The prompt ac-
ton of the authorities in putting him in a
safe place has disconnected the plans OF
the Taylorites, and Powers seems to stand
a good chance CT serving out his term, IN
less there should ever be a Republican
Governor in Kentucky again in which casa
he would be pardoned as matter of
course.

wes the victim OF a sneak thief at Sc
Gala. Mo. last Tuesday. on the occasion
o. the formal opening Of the Democratic
campaign n that State. The Senator left
Washington just in time to arrive at Sc

when he awoke the next morning he dis
covered that a thief had entered his room
and stolen his poclletbook. containing $500
in cash and about 81 zoe in valuable pa
pers The purse was found in the hall
leading 10 the Senator's room, and the
thief had carefully replaced the papers in
Ike pocketbook. The loss of the $500 is a
serious one to Senator CockrelI. It repre-
sents nearly the whole OF one months in
come to him. He is one of the poorest
men in public life and il is said that he
is too busy with his duties as a Senator
10 engage in money-making enterprises,
so that his Congressional salary is about
family. He had drawn his August salary,
it is stated, just before leaving Washing
ton and had expected the amount of
money that was stolen from him TO pay
all of his expenses during the campaign
in which he is to take an active part from
now on to the close. At last accounts no
trace of the thief had been found and
even il the miscTeant should be caught
Senator Cockreu. of course would prob
ably not recover any of the stolen cash.

Some Fine WOrk.-The Presidents
sudden and wholly unexpected decision not
to attend the G. A f. National Ercamp-
ment at Chicago, or, at least, not to leave
Washington this evening for the encamp-
ment city, as had been planned, is giving
the politicians something new to talk
about AT first blush il was generally con-
sidered fine stroke of politics, but upon
further reflection opinion has become di-
yided on the question. That the Chinese
situation had nothing whatever to Go with
Mr. McKinleys decision. in spite OF the
Presidents authorized announcement to
the contrary, is abuBdantly shown by con-
gratulatory statements given out by the
Administration simultaneously with the
despatch of the message to Chicago cast
ing doubt on the probability OF Mr.. Nc
Kinleys presence there next week. It is
not doubted that tie real reason the P. es-
iuent sent his strange message 10 Chicago
is that be is mined at the G. 4. r. for
having extended an invitation to Mr..
Bryan TO attend the encampment. II Mr..
Bryan has accepted the invitation there is
nc record Of the fact. and II is possible
that he never intended to show up at
Chicago next week while the veterans Of
the civil war are enjoying their annual re-
union. The Presidents apologists assert
that ne seriously objects TO lending cid to
any scheme which would be calculated 10
inject politics into the G. A. r. Encamp-
ment. Cabinet offer Is quoted as de-
claring that the President does not tn
tend TO go to Chicago &c be exhibited as a
prize OK against Mr. Bryan as
another prize OK" In the same paragraph
it is asserted Mr.. Mckinley probably will
go TO Chicago for short visit some time
next week. but his visit Will be so ar
ranged that he will not run across Mr.
Bryan" In view of the fact that the
G. a r. EncampmenI will not begin until
next week it cannot be seen what differ
ence the Presidents announced change OF
programme, involving merely g postpone
ment of the time OF leaving Washing on,
makes in the purpose of his visit %

original programme ne would have arrived

0deH Accepfs.-As forecast by The
Times several days ago, the Hon. B. B.
OdeIl has formally announced his willing
ness to accept the Republican nomination
for Governor of New York from the Plat
machine When asked by the newspaper
men if he had concluded to yield to the
great pressure upon him to become the
Republican candidate, Mr.. Odell gave this
characteristic reply: 1T locks as though
l were up against It at last" a seeming
ly wise Individual who is indefinitely de-
scribed in the press reports from New
York as "a hotel politician - is thus quoted
as talking about the political situation in
that State as it is indicated by OdelFs can
didacy: ut has been admitted all along
that an out-and-out Republican organfza-
ton man would be nominated only in case
it became apparent that the Democrats
would name an organization man. If Mr..
OdeH has agreed to take the nomination
it means. believe. that he is satisfied that
the Democrats will nominate a man Sc
1ected by the Croker-MuTphy combination.
Mr. Odell is very popular in the Republi-
can ranks but he must figure as Platt's
man in the campaign, and l conclude that
he expects to run against a candidate who
is Cookers or Murphys man." Naturally
il is being asked if a deal has been made
by Plat and Croker TO run things in New
York TO suit themselves.

COAL PRICE IS SENT UP.
Steam Fuel Costs 81 q Ton More In
New York.

New York, Sept. 25.-The two quail
ties of coal known as pea and buck
wheat, which are now used for steam
generating purposes, have jumped up
81 ton Pea coal now costs the con-
sumner $3.50 and buckwheat 81. Arising
out of this advance threats of law
SUITS against dealers are already being
heard. For some time a large number
or dealers, under stress of competition.
nave consented TO omit in contracts
which they have made with manufac-
turerS and large office buildings the
clause which permits them to break
the agreement in case of strikes. But
despite the absence of this clause none
OF the dealers would supply coal under
their contracts except at the increased
price of 81 a ton.
The consumers have no alternative
except to submit or go without coal but
many of them declared today that thew
would appeal to the courts to compel
the coal men to live I'D to their con-
tracts and to refund money paid be
yond the amount called for in the
agreement The retailers profess tn
stand in no fear of these actions:

protect them.
Bituminous coal men continue to rean
a harvest as a result of the strike. The
net advance in soft coal since last Fri
day averages about so cents q ton and
with matters as they are in the an
thracite regions, another rise may be
looked for The soft coal men saw that
even should the strike cease. thew will
maintain present prices, as the de-
mand for their product is sufficiently
large to enable them TO get the rates
asked.
