The Bullet Struck Goebel In tho Right

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 31.-William
Goebel was shot mad very seriously
injured this morning at 11:10 o'clock
while passing through the state
house yard on his way to the capitol
building. Two shots were fired from
a rifle, only one of them taking eff
feet. 1t struck Mr.. Goebel in the
right side, one-third of the distance
down from the arm pit to the hip.
The ball passed entirely through the
body, coming out below the right
shoulder blade. 1t is not thought by
the physicians in charge that the
wound will prove fatal, unless COM
plications set in.
Mr.. Goebel, in company with Col.
Jack Chinn and Warden Eph Lillard,
of the Frankfort penitentiary, was
walking up the sidewalk leading from
the street to the capitol building,
Goebel being on the right of the
three. When the three men were
two-thirds of the distance from the
street to the capitol a shot was fired
from the third story of the building
occupied by the officers of the gov
ernor, secretary of state and other
leading officials of the state. The
ball struck Mr.. Goebel in the side and

Until the Contest Is Decided.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 3O.-It is not
unlikely that United States Senator
elect Blackburn will receive any COM
mission from Gov. Taylor until the
present gubernational contest has
been finally settled. Gov. Taylor, it
is said, on excellent authority, will
assume the position that if it is de-
cided he is illegally the governor of
Kentucky, the legislators who elect
ed Blackburn and who were declared
elected at the same election at which
he was candidate for governor were
also illegally elected and have not
therefore the power to choose SEN
ator. The decision of the contest
board is looked for in about one week
after the conclusion of the argu.

Long, in response to resolution of
inquiry adopted by the senate. will
submit report this week showing
the urgent necessity of legislation
authorizing an increase in the COM

relief is granted by congress it will
be necessary for the secretary to close
important shore stations to obtain
officers for sea duty. Four battleships
will be placed in commission by Sep
TENDER and will require 155 commits

900 officers available for shore and
sea duty, and it is even now necessary
to curtail to the tour of shore duty

FEDERATION IN Japan.
Recognition OF Chri-tianity on the Same
Footing with Baddbism Christian
Churches Exemp- from Taxation.

Yokohama, Jan. 3O.-The Buddhists
OF Japan are making strenuous eff
forts to compel the diet to formally
declare Buddhism the state religion
OF Japan, as it was before the restora-
ton. This action resulted from the
submission to the diet by the govern
ment of bill which places all re-
ligions on the same footing, and gives
practical effect to the freedom of con-
science guaranteed by the constitu-
ton. The most notable point in the
government bill is that, it recognizes
Christianity as having a status in
Japan. Hitherto japanese Chris
tianity has been only tolerated Hence
forth all property of Christian
churches will be exempted from taxa
ton, as are Buddhist temples. The
Buddhists have raised large sum to
prosecute their claims before the diet.

COL. BRYAN AT THE HUB.
The Nebraskan and COngressman Lentz
Given q Reception and Breakfast-Con-
ments on GOebel Shooting.

Boston, Jan. 31.-William !. Bryan,
of Nebraska, and Congressman John j.
Lentz, of Ohio, who began a ten-days
speaking tour of the northeast states
Monday, arrived in this city from
Providence early Tuesday. With them
were committees representing the
Bryan club of Boston, who went to
Providence to meet the party. A
large crowd and reception committees
from the democratic state committee
and the Bryan club met Col. Bryan at
the station. The visitors were driven
to a hotel, where a reception was held
followed by a breakfast.
At the close of the reception in his
honor, Mr.. Bryan was shown the dis
patch announcing that Senator Goe-
bel, of Kentucky, had been shot. Mr..
Bryan made the following statement:
1t is shocking, shocking. 1 trust that
the shot will not prove fatal. Mr.. Goebel
made a great fight against fierce opposi-
ton, and feeling was wrought up to a
high pitch. but 1 had no thought of as
sassination being resorted to. It proba-
bly, was the individual act of some bitter
political opponent. 1 can not assume or
believe that any considerable number of
republicans or anti-Goebel democrats
would counsel or excuse such an act. I
sincerely hope that the democrats will
not allow excitement or resentment to
lead them to acts of violence We can
afford to permit the republicans to enjoy
the monopoly of force and threats. Let

guard, but the democrats pay no at
tention to his reInonstranceS.
1t was reported that Speaker Trim
BILE of the house had declared that the
legislature would be removed to Gov
ington and that Goebel would there
be declared governor.

ton III preventing mob violence
Whitaker, the alleged assassin, was
taken away from Frankfort at thre
o'clock, ostensibly to Louisville.
There is talk of mobbing Whitaker.
The impression is growing, however,
that he may be innocent. Capt. John
Davis states the following: when
the shots were fired, Gov. Taylor
rushed to window where he could
see the scene of the tragedy. He ex-
claimed, My God, what have they
done? Davis, go tell Gen. Collier to
call out the troops When 1 started
out. Whitaker followed me. He had
been sitting in a room just next to
Gov. Taylor's Office. He is innocent"
DR.. Ely, one of Goebers ply sicians,
said that Senator Goebel has but
slight chances of recovery.

Starvation and Scurvy Affected the Minds
of Many of the People in the
Copper River Valley.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Capt. W. L.
Abercrombie, Second infantry, who
commanded the exploring expedition
in Alaska last season, reports that he
found hundreds of people that were
dying of starvation and scurvy in the
Copper river country. The stencil
was intolerable and 20 per cent. of the
inmates of the huts were mentally de-
ranged. This was common to those
whom fear of scurvy had driven over
the glacier, where so many had per-
ished by freezing to death.

Washington, Jan. 3d. Secretary
Root yesterday received from Manila
a copy of the marriage law laid down
by Gen. Otis. Up to the date of this
order, December IS last, only Catholic
marriages were celebrated in the Phil
ippines or recognized as legal. To meet
the peculiar conditions in the islands
Gen. Otis laid down no specific cere-
mony, only providing that any estab-
lished form will suffice, providing
there is an open acknowledgment of
the marriage by the parties thereto.
The form of certificate is published
and this may be attested by a priest,
rector or Judge.
