WERE ALL SEARCHED.


Georgetown, KY. July 1o.-The
cases of the commonwealth against
Youtsey, Powers, Davis, Whitaker
and Combs, charged with completely
in the murder of William Goebel at
Frankfort, January 80, were called
before Judge Cantrin on a change of
venue Monday. By order of the court
all persons who entered the court
rooms were searched. In addition to
the imposing array of counsel on each
side and the large number of witnesses
from all parts of the state, big
crowd of spectators thronged the
room. The work of selecting a jury
was first entered upon and the panel
summoned to draw from was read.
The commonwealth asked for a
subpoena duces tecum for Prof. James
Stephens, to produce letter from Ca
leb Powers written in February, in
which it is alleged Powers claimed
for himself the credit of the disor-
ganized condition of the democracy.
Ninety-seven witnesses for the prose
cution were called and the prosecu-
ton announced itself ready for trial.

WHERE IS THE LoGANq
No Word from tho Transport Carrying the
Ninth Infantry Since She Left Ma
mia for China June 81.

Washington, July 1O.-Owing to the
uncertainty as to the whereabouts of
the transport Logan, with the Ninth
infantry aboard, Secretary Long sent
a cable message to Admiral Kempf
at Taku asking for definite informa-
ton on the subject. The Logan left
Manila June ~ and was counted upon
to make the run to Taku in seven
days. In case expectations were re-
allied, she arrived at the Chinese port
July 4. Little doubt is entertained
that these troops already have arrived
at Taku and it is even believed they
have gone up the river in small boats
to Tien Tsin. where they were ur-
gently needed. Coming as an indie
pendent command, Admiral KempM
may not regard the troops as a proper
subject of his report.

Washington, July 10.-Minister WI

eral of imperial posts at Shanghai
and to the viceroy at Marking a re-
quest that they take steps to have it
made known in Pekin and vicinity
that heavy rewards will be paid by
the American people for the salvation
of the people in the legations. The
minister did not make this repre-
sentation upon the authority of the
United States government, but upon
many statements that had been made
to him by prominent American citi-
zens. He was approached by some
ladies, friends and relatives of some
of the people who were with Minister
Conger when the outbreak occurred,
beseeching him to offer rewards which

POPULATION OF MEXICO.


Washington, July 10.-The results
of the last census taken in Mexico
have just. been published. Our neigh
boring republic has population of
IL, 491,5 73, about equally divided be-
tween males and females. Two states,
Jalisco and Guanajuato, have a popu-
lation of over LOCO, 900. while the third
largest state, Mexico, has about 500,-
600. Among foreign-born people the
United States comes next to Spain,
the latter having 1850. The litter
acy returns are not complimentary to
this otherwise prosperous neighbor,
there being 100000, or over two
thirds of the population, who can
neither read nor write. The Roman
Catholics number only 100000 less
than the entire population. Over g.
100000 of the people do not speak
Spanish but use SO Indian languages.
In all 63 languages are spoken in that
country.

DIRECT SPEECH WITH EUROPE.
Professor In Colambia Has an Inventiou
That Will Enable Americans to Telo-
phone Across the Atlantic Ocean.

phone Across the Atlantic Ocean.
New York, July 1O.-At last a way
has been found to telephone across
the Atlantic ocean. That old scien-
tific bugbear, the saturation of the
cable covering with conflicting cur
rents, which prevent the voice being
heard over long distances, has been
overcome. and nothing except the
laying of a properly constructed cable
now prevents our having direct speech
with Europe. The discovery is an
nounced by Prof. Pupin, of Columbia
college, and even if Prof. Pupin's repu-
tation did not vouch for the authen-
ITCHY of his claims the enthusiastic
manner of their acceptance by scien-
tific men generally proves that a
most important discovery has been
made. Prof. Pupin's invention con-
sists of nothing more than a series
of simple coils of wire to be inserted
at intervals of eight to mile under
the sheath of the cable. This device,
which is known as choke coil, has
the effect of limiting the capacity of
wire to hold electricity, and thus
the speed is increased. Prof. Pupin
says that his invention will increase
the speed of an ocean cable 300 times.

CHINESE RENEW ATTACKS.
Allied Forces at Tien Tsin Are

tack-Japan Rushing Men and Horses
to China-German Squadron Departs.

London, July 1O.-The latest news
from Tien Tsin reports a renewed
Chinese attack July with IL guns.
The allied forces replied with the guns
landed from the British frst-class
cruiser Terrible, and mixed force of
1000 men made sortie under cover
of the fire of the naval brigade and
attacked the Chinese, who retired
after seven hours fighting.
Earlier dispatches record severe
fighting, notably on July and July
3, when the Chinese developed 'unex-
pected strength and did considerable
damage with artillery. At the bridge
near the French settlement. there was
hard fighting at close quarters, the
Russians with a Calling gun finally
compelling the Chinese to retire,
though they suffered heavily. The
operations, however, were in no way
decisive, later messages showing the
Chinese were still full of fight.

Hope for Division Among Chinese.
London, July 1O.-The more hope

news from Pekin was further
strengthened by Rear Admiral Bruce's
Endorsement of the rumors that
Prince Cheng, who is said to be head
ing counter revolution at Pekin, is
fighting in behalf of the legations
against the usurper, Prince Tuan. If
the admiraFs hope that Prince Cheng
with his army is defending the lega-
tons at Pekin against Prince Tuan
turns out to be well founded, this turn
of events is of the utmost Importance,
as it is felt here that in some such di-
vision among the Chinese themselves
lies the best hope for the safety of
the foreigners.

Washington, July 10.-The follow
ing telegram was received by Min
