The TRIAL OF JAMES HOWARD.
Testimony of an Alleged Cocoon
misunderstanding Col. Camp
bell-The Defense.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 19.-The pros
ecution concluded its direct testimony
in the case of James Howard yester-
day afternoon. Ben. Rake, stable
boy, corroborated Bowman Gaines as
to seeing Howard run out from the
rear of the statehouse grounds short
ly after the shooting. James f. Daley
and r. 0. Armstrong testified to see
ing Howard standing on the steps of
the executive building later that
morning.
w. H. Culton, one of the alleged
conspirators, went over his former
testimony, which indirectly affected
Howard. He claimed that Howard ex-
hibited cartridges to him and also
pointed significantly to a broken pal
ing of the fence. Culton says he asked
Howard what he meant by this, and
the latter told him to mot ask so
many damned fool questions. This
was the afternoon of January 30.
Culton also said that the day after
the shooting Yo"tsey came into the
secretary of states slice. He had
just received his salary as clerk in
the auditors Office, and laid it down
on a table, saying:
81 am going to take the number of
these bills. | am likely to be arrested
and if this money is taken from me |
want TO have some sort of memo.
randum of it,"
Culton said he asked Youtsey what
he expected to be arrested for
Youtsey replying:
"Well, never mind. am likely to
be arrested"
During the examination of wit.
nesses yesterday afternoon Col. T. c.
Campbell called on the court for pro-
lection from "the insulting insinua-
tions," as he termed reference made
to him by Maj. Owens, of the defense,
and added:
"This is no time nor place for Maj.
Owens to attempt to heap insults on
me. He knows that the proper time,
if he desires to say such things to me,
is outside the court ROOM"
The court imposed fine of five dol
lars against Maj. Owens, of the de-
Tense.
The defendant will take the stand
as the first witness in his own behalf.
He claims an alibi, and the attorneys
for the defense say they will bring
overwhelming proof that Howard was
standing in front of the Board of
Trade hotel, two squares away from
the scene of the tragedy, when the
shooting occurred,

GERMANY'S LATEST NOTE.
VIII he Considered by the President
and His Cabinet TO-Day-A
Plain Question.

Washington, Sept. Is. "A copy oil
the German note demanding the pun
ishDlent of the leaders of the rebellion
in China was presented to Acting Sec
rotary Adee at the state department.
Yesterday from the German embassy.
The German charge, Baron Steinberg,
being temporarily absent from the
city, there could, of course, be no at
tempt at discussion of this most i'm
portant communication.
The baron is expected to return to-
day, when the subject may be taken
up with him. Meanwhile, the note it.
self will receive the earnest attention
of the president and such members of
the cabinet as are here to-day when
he arrives.
The state department has been all
along directing its efforts to the
speedy opening of negotiations for a
final settlement with the Chinese gov
eminent, and has so far not been
heard from relative to the matter of
punishment beyond the indirect ref
ereEces contained in the notes that
have defined the governments pur-
poses. The question is now presented
plainly whether or not the negotia-
tions shall be preceded with decision
on that point.
1.-THE government of the emperor
holds as preliminary to entering upon
diplomatic relations with the Chinese
be delivered up who have been proven
to be the original and real instigators
of the outrages against international
law, which have occurred at Pekin.
The number of those who were mere
ly instruments in carrying out the
outrages is too great. Wholesale eX-
ecutions would be contrary to the
civilized conscience and the circum-
stances of such group of leaders can
not be completely ascertained. But a
few whose guilt is notorious should be
delivered up and punished.
"The representatives of the powers
AT Gekln are IN p0SltlOn 10 give or
bring forward convincing evidence.
Less Importance attaches to the num-
Der punished than to their character
as chief instigator or lee Gers.
"The government believes that it
can count on the unanmity of all the
cabinets in regard to this point, mas
much as Indifference to the idea of
just atonement would be equivalent to
indifference to repetition of the
crime. The government proposes,
therefore, that the cabinets concerned
should instruct their representatives
at Pekin to indicate those leading
Chinese personages from whose guilt
in instigating or perpetrating out
RACES all doubt is excluded.
[Signed "VON BUELOW."
The note has been sent to the Ger
man embassies at Washington, Lon
don, Paris, st, Petersburg, Rome, Wen
ma and Toxic.

As to Vote on Road Tar,

Attorney General Davis has giva
out an opinion declaring that the road
tax voted upon at the election Of Sep
TENDER 3 carried in all counties ID
which 1t received a majority OF The
votes cast. The question to be deter
mined is whether II requires MAORI
ty of all the electors in a county to car
ry road tax or a majority of those vot
ing. In his opinion the attorney gen
eral says: "Where a statute requra
a question to be decided, or an office
to be chosen, by the vote OF the major
ity OF the voters OF county, this doe,
not require that ajority % all per
sons in the county entitled to vol,
shall actually vote atilrmatively, but
only that the result shall be decided By
q majority Of the votes cast. The vot
ers Of the county referred TO by oil
such statutes are necessarily the voter
who vote at that election, since the re
suit in each case must be determine
by a count OF the ballots cast, and nc
by an inquiry us to the number moi
