cution. was In conference with Henry
Youtsey. one OF the men arrested. for
long time at the jail this afternoon, Mr..
Campbell declined to state what passed
at the conference. Attorneys for tho pros
ecution persistentiy claim that they have
more damaging evidence against Yout-
sey, connecting MIN with the crime. than
against any of the others so far arrested
and it Is said that the statement made
by Culton has strengthened the case
against him. Republican leaders profess
not to know the plans OF Republican Gov.
TAYLOR, but Il is generally believed he
will not return here till the action OF the
grand jury is made public. IL he returns
at all, and In this opinion. Democrats
and Republicans coincide.
The convoninF Of the April term OF the
Franklin circuit court tomorrow, with
Judge Cantrill sitting. marks the begin
ming of the final legal proceedings against
the alleged assassin of the late Gov. Goc-
bel, and on this account makes II the
most important in the history OF criminal
trials in this state in many years.
The grand jury will probably get In
working order Tuesday, and. or course.
the assassination case will be the first
matter taken up. 1t is understood that
Commonwealth Attorney Franklin who
VIII conduct the prosecution on the part
of the state, has had suhpoenas issued
for numerous witnesses IN rotation and
others will be issued as soon az the court
gets down to work II the prosecution
makes good its claim the investigation
will involve large number OF others
against whom indictments viii be return
ed. The general impression prevails that
none OF the trials viii come up at the
present term and II is understood that
the defense. probably In every cnse. Will
move for change Of venue To some other

LEXINGTON. KY, July 16.-The Demo-
cratic state convention. which will con-
vene here next Thursday, will select only
nominee for Governor. The hall is be-
ing decorated profusely. Among the pic
lures are those of Bryan and Stevenson,
while above all is the pictured face of Will
liam Goebel in a crepe bedecked frame.
The question as to who will be tempo
rary chairman is all-absorbing. The indi-
cations are that Governor Beckham will
control the convention, but as many Beck
ham delegates favor platform looking
toward amending the Goebel election law
the organization of the convention is un-
certain. Governor Beckham has never yet
taken a positive stand i'm favor of this
amendment. If the Beckham forces or
ganize the convention it is practically set
tied that Judge j. E. Robbins, of Graves
county, will be supported.
The anti-Beckhamites probably will put
forward r. f. Peshe. of Shelby county
Governor Beckham controls about $40 votes
but the antis claim fighting chance.

BERLIN, July 16.-The German consul at
Che-Foo having communicated TO the Gov
ernor of Shan-Tung Emperor williams Of
fer Of a reward of 1000 taels for the rescue
of foreigners in Peking. has received the
Governors reply, which is dated July Is.
to the effect that the shutting up of for
eigners in Peking has deeply touched his
heart, but that attempts TO relieve them
have ~ailed owing ~ the revolt in Chih- Ii,
but the Governor adds, he will again try
his best to effect their release.
The Foreign Office, while deeply deplor-
ing the horrible events at Picking. expresses
confidence that 'henceforth the powers
solidarity of interests will assume perfect
harmony
The Foreign Office further stated that
DR.. Mumm Won Schwarzenstein (appointed
minister to China i'm succession to the late
Baron Won Ketteler) will proceed to China,
Notwithstanding the latest developments.
Regarding the anomalous position of the
Chinese minister here the Foreign Office
said the minister admittedly does not know
from whence the declaration of June 20
emanated. He also admitted that he could
not vouch for the correctness of all the
Chinese dispatches he had received lately.
The Foreign Office pointed out to him that
unless the situation became clearer all Of
fetal communications could not be re-
garded as emanating from the Chinese gov
ernment. The Foreign Office is also con-
sidering whether unlimited telegraphic con-
nection between Lue Hal Huan. the Chi
nese minister to Germany, and China is
compatible just now with Germany's In
terests, and to-day issued orders inhibiting
Chinese legation dispatches.
The British embassy here has thus far
received no news from London confirming
the news of the massacre of foreigners in
Peking. Lord Cough still doubts if there
has been massacre. Chinese news having
been all along unreliable.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Japanese
legation to-day received a cable from the
minister for foreign affairs, dated Toxic,
July TO- giving some belated details of the
fighting at Tien-Tsin July 3, when the town
was still in possession of the allies Ac-
cording to this cable there are 1000 Jap
anese troops at Tien-Tsin. More than half
the allied troops in the attack on Tien-Tsln
on the 18th, therefore, probably were Jap
anese. The cable is as follows:
"On the Sd instant a large body of Chi
nese soldiers appeared before Tien-Tsin
and attacked the northern part of the set
tlement which was guarded by the Rus
sian troops. The Japanese sent to their aid,
at the Russian generals request, one bat
terry of artillery and two companies of in
fantry. After heavy cannonade they ST.
fenced the Chinese guns and finally re-
pulsed the enemy. The Japanese losses in
this engagement were two captains killed
and about thirty noncommissioned officers
and men killed and wounded.
Major Fukushima has now under him
at Tien-Tsin about 1000 troops.

Opinions of the Situation.

LONDON, July II, 1853 q. MP to this
hour no further news has been received re-
garding the reported massacre at Peking
from any source. In the House of Com
mons last evening. beyond an admission
that there was no ground for hoping that
the report was not true William st. John
Broderick, parliamentary secretary to the
Foreign Office. had nothing to communi-
cate. An unusual hush fell upon the cham
ber when the subject came up. a few
members doffed their hats, but otherwise
there was no demonstration.
No question was put to Lord Salisbury
in the House of Lords, probably by pre-
concerted arrangement, it being considered
that at the present state of affairs 1t would
be only embarrassing to force the premier
to make statement.
1t was whispered on the ministerial side
of the Commons that the next vote on ac-
count for military undertakings in South
Africa and China will be startling in

at Shanghai have cabled their governments

the Chinese have already threatened to

entire adult male population of the three
provinces of Chilli, Shan-Si and Shan
Tung are massing to defend Peking, in the
conviction that the powers mean war.
There is little doubt that further check
OF the allies at Tien-Tsin would be the sig
nal for a general anti-foreign uprising
throughout China.
The Japanese officers are still confident
of their ability to reach Peking before the
roads become impossible, but the European
commanders believe an advance will be i'm
possible before September. Fighting is said
TO be imminent at New-Chwang. where the
Boxers are threatening the foreign settle
ment. The Russians have barricaded the
streets and loopholed the houses of the
foreigners. The bank officials have re-
moved their valuables to Port Arthur.
Perhaps the most serious among the
many reports from Shanghai is the rumor
that. since the massacre at Peking, five
Chinese regiments have been ordered south,
with instructions to make Ching -Hang-Po,
at the head of the Grand canal, the OBJ
jective point for the southwark extension
of the Boxer movement.
The Times says it is taken for granted
in diplomatic circles that when the Chi
nese crisis is settled Great Britain will re-
tain the right to nominate the inspector of
Chinese customs.

Beckham Claims 1t.

FRANKFORT. KY, July 16.-The returns
received here tonight from the Democratic
county conventions held throughout the
State this afternoon for the purpose of Sc
lecting delegates to the state convention
at Lexington indicate that j. C. w Beck
ham will receive the nomination on the
first ballot Governor Beckham says that
he will receive not less than 600 votes. and
that 1T may reach 700. The opposition to
Beckham has not given up hope Of nom-
mating some one else. Ex-Governor j. b.
McCreary of Madison county. seems to be
most in favor. Their representatives here
figure the strength of Black at 200, of Lewis
$50, and of Tarvin So They figure that the
bulk Of the uninstructed vote, which
reaches 300 votes will favor some other
candidate than Governor Beckham, 547 be-
ing necessary TO nominate.

excuse for the nation which commits such
crimes and none for the government which
favors, tolerates or fails to prevent them"
All the papers insist upon the absolute
necessity henceforth of perfect harmony
between the powers. ''The powers will no
longer quarrel" says the Lokal Anzeiger,
"or weigh things against each other. They
will try everything. They will risk every
man until this unparalleled crime has met
with the punishment Il deserves

statements as 10 alleged agreements be-
tween various powers concerning the fu-
ture in China, a Foreign Office official said
to-day, that nothing like definite agree
ment either oral or written existed be-
tween Germany and Russia, but that such
an agreement does exist between Russia
and Great Britain, assigning to each dis
tinct sphere.
The China expediionary corps will not
leave until Emperor William returns from
Norway. as he intends to inspect the corps
personally. and to bid the men farewell.
A military contributor TO the Berliner
Tageblatt computes the Chinese forces,
who are well drilled and armed with Maui
sers. at $4,000.
Lord Cough. secretary of the British en-
bassy, made the following statement to
the Associated Press correspondent this
afternoon: 1.-The Peking massacre does not
render 1T necessary for the powers TO aban-
don the position that they are not at war
with China. The powers will continue to
claim that their action there is in behalf
of the deposed government. and only
against the rebels and usurpers There are
precedents for such course particularly
the action of the United States govern
ment toward the Brazilian revolutionists." :"
A member of the japanese embassy said,
to-day: Japan has rot sought a mandate
from the powers AID will not accept the
role of mandatory. unless requested to do
so by all. In the event of accepting, Japan
would not ask territory as compensation.
Japan is fully in accord with the other
powers respecting the future
The official said that he accepted the re-
port of the massacre as well founded. He
said that the Mikado's troops in China
numbered 1900. but that these were in
sufficient for an effective advance upon
Peking. no fewer than 100000 men would
be necessary.

ARE IGNORING TAKU.
Chinese Devote All Their Energies to
the Case of Tien-Tsin.

NEW YORK. July 16.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Tien-Tsin. July s, says:
while the Chinese are making stubborn
resistance about Tien-Tsin. they arc MAX
ing no attempt to regain Taku or to cut
off the approach TO Tien-Tsin by river or
railway. The entire distance is deserted
by the natives and troops come up with
out seeing Chinaman. Unguarded
launches ply up and down with dispatches
The restoration of the railway is being
pushed forward.
1.-The Chinese have faculty for moving
their guns rapidly and suddenly opening
fire from a new point. At dusk they sent
six shells into the foreign settlement at
random. One entered the barracks of the
Centurion's men and wounded six.
The stacks of government salt on the op-
poste side of the river and the acres of
ruins give the Chinese an opportunity to
pour in random rife shots without ex-
posure."
