GEN. WOODFORD MARRIED.
Former Minister to Spain Leads Young
Bride to Altar.

New York, Sept. 27.-Gen. Stewart
L.Woodford, formerly United States
minister to Spain, was yesterday quiet
ly married to Miss Isabel Hanson, his
private secretary while at the Spanish
court. Only the relatives of the bride
and groom and those Of the late Mrs.
Wodford, the generals first wife, who
died about two years ago, received in
vitations to be present.
Miss Hanson is handsome and about
26 years of age. She was compelled
to leave Madrid with Gen. Woodford
when the breaking out of the Spanish
war necessitated his departure. Miss
Hanson had been in Gen. Woodford' S
employ for some time and was a warm
friend of his family. She visited Spain
again last year in company with Miss
Woodford, the generals daughter, the
two young women having formed a
strong attachment for one another.
The general and his bride left at
once on their wedding tour, and on
their return will probably reside at
the Waldorf-Astoria, where Gen.
Woodford has lived for nearly two
years.

HOWARD MUST DIE.
SO KENTUCKY JURY DECIDES IN
GOEBEL MURDER CASE.
Taken to Jail-Trial of Youtsey
to Begin Monday.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 27.-James B.
Howard, charged with being principal
in the assassination of William Goe-
bel, was found guilty by the jury yes
terday an punishment was fixed at
death. Howard did not lose his com
posture when the verdict was read in
the crowded court room. He glanced
at the attorneys who sat beside him,
smiled and said nothing. When he
time he betrayed emotion. He wrote
a long letter to his wife, during which
time the tears coursed down his
cheeks. He was joined later by his
attorneys who spent a good part of
the day in conference with him in re-
gard to the motion for a new trial,
which will be filed today. The trial
of Henry E. Youtsey will commence at
Georgetown Monday.
A number of ballots were taken, but
the first ballot resulted in unani-
nous vote in favor of verdict of
guilty. After that, the ballots were
as to the degree. of punishment and
on the ballots ten members voted for
the death penalty, while two voted for
life Imprisonment. The first ballot
yesterday resulted in a verdict, the
two jurors who had voted for life i'm
prisonment gave in to the majority
and voted for the death penalty.
The jury (which tried the case was
divided politically, nine democrats, one
republican, and two anti Goebel dem
ocrats. The testimony which prob
ably weighed most strongly against
the defendant was that which went to
show that he hurried from the capitol
building almost Immediately after the
fatal shot was fired. The verdict of
the jury is believed to have been

the coxswain's seat his knees stuck
up in front so as to almost exclude hia

noticeable thing was the difference in
age between the American and the

The course was laid close to the bank
of the river and a crowd OF enthu-
siasts in automobiles, on bicycles and
on foot followed the races from start
to finish. The senior SCARED race was
the last event and came off about
half-past five. At that time the crowd
along the bank was immense and the
rush of automobiles and bicycles, rush
ing at top speed in order to keep up
with the crews, was almost as exciting
as the race itself.

GOVERNMENT WAITING.
No Further Action Taken in Chinese
Matter.

Washington, Sept. 27.-One belated
ditions in Pekin Sept Fl was made
public yesterday. 1t is apparent the
government is again in waiting at
titude after having made an import
ant move toward removing the Ameri-
can troops in China. Chaffee had not
received the departments instructions
when he sent the message made public
yesterday, but without doubt has it
now in hand. His offer to escort Ii
Hung Chang was in conformity with
the expressed purpose of the state de-
partment to facilitate in every proper
manner the journey OF the Chinese
viceroy to Pekin. Still, it is now re-
garded just as well that the offer was
declined and responsibility for LIS
safety left with the Russians. The in
struction to Conger to establish rela-
tons with Ii and Prince Ching is still
held up here. 1t is beginning to ap-
pear the purpose of delay is to ascer-
tain more clearly the plans of the
powers in whose interest, as we'll as in
our own, Conger was to endeavor to
bring about negotiations for a settle
ment. If it shall appear that there is
a disposition on the part of any con-
proportion of them to reject
in advance the well-meant efforts of
the United States to bring about nego-
tiations in which they could be on
equal terms with our government,
with the purpose of terminating Chi
nese difficulties, then Conger's instruc-
lions may require re-casting.

WOULD IMPERIL LOCATION
Chinese Question Still a Maze-Sta-
bility of European Concert a Mat
ter of Speculation-Japan Assents
to Germany's Proposal-Speedy
Negotiations Urged.

London, Sept. 27.-The China ques-
ton is again maze of discussion of
the stability of the European concert
and the likelihood of Germany finding
it convenient to modify her aggressive
attitude. According to the Yokohama
correspondent of the Daily Mail, Japan
assents to Germany proposal, but at
the same time strongly urges that
there be no prolonged delay in the ne
gotiations. The same authority says
Japan would decline to follow Germany
in pursuing the imperial court into the
interior of China. Chinese papers as
sert that orders have been
issued for the erection of a
new imperial palace at Si-Ngan-
Flu. They also report that Ii Hung
Chang has started for Pekin, escorted
by Russian and Japanese troops, and
that Lu Chuan Lin has been appoint
ed viceroy of Canton. 1t is rumored
that Ii Hung Chang has received Sc
cret orders to attempt to recapture
Pekin.
Describing the disorders in the vi
cinity of Canton. the Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Times says: ''The
American church in the suburbs of
Canton was destroyed, and the Cath
Ollie church at To-Kam-Hang and the
foreign cemetery there deseccrated."
The Times, dealing editorially with
the attitude of Washington, says:
'"This is not calculated to smooth the
path Of the powers. Conger's unsolic-
tied offer of mediation is proceed
ing very unusual in diplomacy.
If the United States Withdraws it's
troops it will virtually leave the
American legation under the protec-
ton of the powers with whom the
United States declines to cooperate.
America must be aware that no lega-
ton, with only a guard to defend it.,
would long be safe under the Chinese
government.
The editorial expresses reluctance
to believe the reports that Russia will
permanently occupy Manchuria and
protests against the Russian mas
sacres at Niu-Chwang and in the Amur
district, and against Russia's seizures
of Niu-Chwang and the railways, de-
claring that the United States and
other powers have important interests
in the north which they will not be
disposed to see needlessly injured. 1t
points out Niu-Chwang is the princi-
pal point Of entry for English and
American cOttonS.
