TOUGH ON YOUTSEY.
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE IN GOE-
BEL MURDER CASE.

Witness Testifies That YOutSey Had
Planned How Democratic Govern
or Might Be Killed.
Georgetown, KY, July 19.-In the
Powers murder conspiracy case yester-
day John A. Black of Barbourville, a
banker and republican of prominence,
said Powers came to him in January
to advise him as to the propriety Of
the mountain organization which Pow
ers was getting up. Black, continu-
ing, said: 81 saw Powers later and
again demonstrated against the for
nation of the mob. Powers told me
it was being formed with the approval
of Governor Taylor, Chas. Finley, and
other republican leaders at Frankfort.
AChas. Finley also came to me and en-
deavored to get me to cooperate with
them. I protested bitterly" A check
from Chas. Finley to the L. & N. rail-
road for $1,000 for the transportation
of the men to Frankfort was produced
by Black.
w. H. Culton, who is himself under
indictment as accessory, was called as
a witness, and instructed by the court
that he might or might not testify. It
he did so, he was not required to tell
anything that would tend to criminate
himself. He said he was testifying on
his own free will He said he attended
the conference at Frankfort in January
at which Powers and others were pres
ent and the matter of bringing the
mountain men to the state capitol was
discussed. Hamp Howard, Frank Cecil
and other mountain men promised to
bring crowds ranging from SO to 200
men from each of the counties repre-
sented. Those in the meeting were
to take charge Of the men of their re-
spective counties and bring them to
Frankfort armed. Powers said that
when the men arrived at Frankfort
they would give the democratic legis-
lators thirty minutes in which to set
tie the contests, land if they did not
settle in that time, they would kill
every one of them
Culton said Henry Youtsey came to
him and told him he had found way
by which Goebel could be killed, and
no one find out who did it. Youtsey
said it could be done from the secretary
of states Office and showed some steel
bullets. Witness told Youtsey such a
thing could not be done. Ex-Governor
Bradley told the witness he had heard
Goebel was to be killed and said it
must not be done. Witness saw Yout-
sey again, and the latter said the idea
had been abandoned. Culton said
Powers distributed money among var
ious captains who were to bring the
mountaineers to Frankfort and said
Taylor sent word to Powers he would
pay the expenses Of the men.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1900-07-30

Washington, July 24.-The presI-
dent has listened to the appeal of the
Chinese government as transmitted
through Minister WI and has signi-
fed his willingness to mediate between
the imperial government and the pow
ers but only upon conditions which
first must be met by the Chinese gov
eminent. The exact nature of the
terms proposed by the state Depart
ment cannot be stated until today,
when it is expected the publication will
be made of the text of the Chinese APP
peal, and of the presidents anWser.
1t is known, however, that the answer
will be entirely consistent with the
statement of the principles laid down
by Secretary Hay in his note to the
powers. 1t would not, of course, be
possible to take even the initial steps
toward mediation we're either party to
the negotiations to entertain distrusr
of the statements of the other. The
United States answer looks to the i'm
mediate relief of the foreign mission
aries in Pekin, and, moreover, to the
protection of all foreigners, mission
aries and traders in China, and to the
restoration OF order. The Chinese APP
peal came to Secretary Hay Sunday
through Minister WI. The secretary
promptly telegraphed it to the presi-
dent at Canton and after taking full
day for it's consideration the presi-
dents answer came yesterday to the
state department. 1t was put in proper
diplomatic form and a copy delivered
to Minister WI, who is to forward it to
his own government.
The imperial edict made public yes
terday at the state department shows
the imperial government already has
taken the first steps toward doing
what the United States government
requires as the principal condition for
the exercise of its good Offices, in en-
Joining the viceroys, magistrates and
leading men to stop the disorders and
protect the foreigners. Our govern
ment will await the result of this be-
fore. proceeding further. 1t is expect
ed adverse criticism upon the action
n the state department in this matter
will be heard from Europe where the
are acting upon the be-
lief that all foreign ministers in Pekin
have persisted, but our government,
nevertheless, regards it's course as the
correct one. The last of the answers
to Secretary Hays note reciting the
Conger message have come and all of
them in terms polite and diplomatic
express utter incredulity in the au-
thenticity of the Conger message
Consul General Goodnow himself has
cabled warning to Secretary Hay
2 ga;nst the &c eptaice of tna message
without confirmation Admiral Re-
mey's notification to the department
that he has gone in person up to Pei
Ho from Taku to Tinetsin is attrib-
uted to the receipt by him of Secretary
Longs urgent message to hasten eff
forts to get to Pekin, and important
news is expected from him soon.
