Confession.
Except As To Amount Offered
To Kill GoebeI.

Georgetown, Ky, August 6.-At the be
ginning of the fifth week in the Powers
trial today, K. r. Bullock of Lexington
swore he was in the adjutant general S
office when the fatal shots were fired.
He stepped out and saw a man in a
STOPPING posture behind the public foun-
tain nearby. Bullock could not tell
whether the man was white or black,
and did not know what became OF him
Bullock declared that he saw Col. Jack
Chinn walk rapidly into the State House
as he stepped from the adjutant general s
Office Capt. d. B. Walcott, who had
charge of the Frankfort militia, testified
the company was on duty at the State
Capital the day the legislature met and
throughout the session, but denied that
the soldiers were lined up ready for
marching orders when the assassination
occurred. p. @. o. Benjamin, negro
attorney. representing "TaIlow Diok''
Combs, gave out an interview today in
which he says of the Combs reported con-
fession that Combs made all the state
ments attributed to MIN except as to the
amount alleged to have been offered
Herker. Smith to Kill Goebel. Benjamin
said he had concluded it was due to his
client to tell all he knows as long as he
cannot find Herker Smith, who told
Combs what the latter knows about the
assassination.

Clear Relief March VIII Be No
Walk Over.

London, August $40 q. m.-''The
advance of the allied forces commenced
today, cables the British consul &C TIen
Tsin under date Of August 4. This IS the
first official information received here
that the attempt to relieve pekin has be-
gun it Is accepted as correct. The
British consul does not mention any
fighting. but the Shanghai correspondent
Of the Daily Mail telegraphng Sunday,
says:
The pekin relief column is reported
to have suffered a check. The Chimes
are said 20 have adopted Tugela tactics
and after several hours of lighting to
have retreated.
IhIs IS the only message received IN
London this morning bearing out the re-
ports Of ADMIRAL hemey and Commander
Iassig regarding an engagement ut Pei
Isang. The fact that the advance did
not begin until Saturday is taken to
strengthen the accounts OF a battle sun
day. especially when it is said to have oc-
CURED SO near pskin as Pei Tsang.H
In the same cablegram which was read
IN the House Of Commons, the consul al
Tien TslB, says:
News from the japanese legation has
been received up to August /. Therefore
the edicts announcing the safety Of the
ministers on that date are confirmed.
Yesterday the Chinese minister Chih
Chen 10 Feng Lu, communicated to
Lord Salisbury a message from the
Tsung ii YameD dated July 80, reiterat-
ing the statement that the ministers We're
safe on that day ana recounting the
friendly relations existing between them
and the Yamen, as well rs representing
the sending Of supplies to the legations
by the Yamen. The message contains this
important statement:
"a successful termination of the con-
ference with the ministers for their con-
veyance under escort to T1en Tsin is ex-
pecte d, but on account of the recon-
mencement Of hostiIities at lien Tsin,
code kilograms for transmission to the
are considered undesir-
able.
This appears to confirm the statement
that the Chinese government viii en-
deavor to stop the march to Pekin by
using the ministers as hostages,
The I0kal Anzeiger Of Berlin, publish
ing an interview with Ii Hung Chang,
quotes him as declaring that China must
not in any circumstances cede any more
territory to any power. In reply to q
question why the rebellion was not put
down Earl III Is reported as having said;
II blame Prince Iuan, the Empress
Dowager and the whole Pekin govern
ment But for their lack of energy, the
situation would never have become so
serious"
The st Petersburg correspondent Of the
Daily Mall says:
Active negotiations are proceeding be-
tween Russia and the United States, the
probable outcome of which win be q reso-
luton to uphold the integrity of China
unconditionally'

paper says that the Americans there are

Fort Allen Park Was
Black With People.
The Powerful Lights We're Kept
In Service Over An Hour.

Thousands saw the big ships Of the
North Atlantic squadron using their
search lights last night. At an early
hour the cars climbing ATunjoy hill We're
literally packed with people and a great
many cars besides these regularly run up
on this Congress street line were in ser
vice. Before dark the seats in the Fort
Allen park had been appropriated and
the constantly increasing crowd SO on
overrun all of the park and the adjacent
streets. The people living on the Eastern
promenade all held house parties last
night and their windows and verandas
were crowded with friends and neighbors.
At eight O'Clock the harbor was dark
and only here and there could be seen the
twinkling lights of some vessel anchored
in the stream with the SIN aller lights on
the moving launches and smaller craft in
the harbor On board the ships only q few
signal lights were twinkling out their
messages from ship to ship and scarcely
the outline OF the big vessels could be
made out Shortly after the ships bells
had struck eight o'olook there flashed a
signal from the flagship New York am
chored the furtherest away from the
crowds on the promenade. Then the big
search light was turned on and was swept
from one edge of the harbor to the other
and then circled upwards towards the
zenith The New York's searchlight was
followed by one from the Kearsarge and
ship after ship took up the signal and
turned on first one ana then several Of
their big searchlights. The entire harbor
was for a moment brilliantly illuminated.
The shores of the Cape, the islands and
the vessels in the harbor were plainly
visible. Then the stream of lights began
to chase one another in graceful curves
over the sky, now resting here for q Sec
ond and then sweeping backwards
through large circle. Faster and faster
they moved, nowEdashing to this part of
the harbor and then to the other until the
on-lookers grew dizzy in Watching their
radiant paths, 1t was at once a most
beautiful and dazzling spectacle and the
big crowd was spellbound by the scene.
The searchIights on the new battleships
the Kentucky and the Kearsarge seemed
to be the most powerful of all and
wherever they rested the objects in their
range could be plainly made out AT last
there was pause in this exhibition and
the crowd made rush for the street cars.
The tide had turned, and while the cars
bound upward continued to be crowded
those bound down the hill were also we'll
filed. But there seemed to be no decrease

in the size of the crowd. The places 70
the people who went away were taken by
others and after little pause the search
lights were turned on once more and the
mystifying and dazzling display cons
tinued until nine o'clock when suddenly
gun doomed out from the flagship and
the harbor seemed darker than 9 yer be-
fore.
With this there was rush for the cars
down town, but the railroad officials were
prepared for this ana all were comfort-
ably cared for. Until after ten O'Clock,
however, the cars running down town
continued to be crowded with people. 10
seemed as If there must have been at least
twenty thousand people who witnessed
this exhibition.
