TAYLOR WILL RETURN.
Kentucky Supporters Guarantee q
Fair ana Speedy Trial.

Kentucky Supporters Guarantee
Fair ana Speedy Trial.
Frankfort, Ky, April 2o.-Governor
Taylor will return to Kentucky, face his
accusers and demand an immediate trial
of the indictment returned against him
by the Franklin county grand jury,
charging completely in the Goebel MUIR
der. This was announced in a telegram
received from Governor Taylor, as was
also the determination Of the governor
not to take advantage Of the offer Of
Governor Roosevelt to protect him in the
event Of demand being made for him
by Beckham. Governor Taylor decided
upon this course upon the advice Of ex-
Governor Bradley and other Kentuck-
ians, who have pledged themselves to
defend him and force fair and speedy
trial
Jim Howard and Berry Howard, in
dicted for the murder Of Goebel, say
they will never be taken by the authori-
ties. An attempt was made to capture
them, but the deputies who had the war
rants were forced to beat hasty retreat,
as the two Towards were intrenched in
the mountains, surrounded by over 100
feudists, who declared the accused men
should never be arrested.
Captain John Powers, a brother Of
Secretary of State Powers, who is also
under Indictment, was discovered in n
hut in the mountains of Bell county,
guarded by ten mountain men. His posi-
tion is impregnable, and he, too, cannot
be arrested.
Governor Beckham Is anxious to send
militia to the mountains to arrest the
Howards and Powers, but no company
will volunteer for the service.
The grand jury reconvened and went
to work on minor criminal matters. 1t
Is understood that the investigation Of
the assassination Of Goebel Is for the
present, and probably permanently, clos
ed so far as that body is concerned.
There Is report that when the Taylor
indictment is returned, as it will be in
the last days of the present term, accom-
punying it will be an indictment against
a person not hitherto mentioned in con-
nection with the case.
Ex-Governor Bradley, representing the
Republican minor state officials, has
prayed an appeal to the court of appeals
from the judgment Of custer rendered by
Judge Cantrill last week. The appeal
was prayed as to all cases except that
of Brecknridge against Pratt. Mr..
pratt, the Republican contestant for at
torney general, did not ask an appeal.

LORD ROBERTS MOVES
To Cut off Beers Retreat at
Ladybrand.

London, April 25.-Lord Roberts
telegraphs from Bloemfontein that
Dewetsdorp was occupied by Gen.
Chermside, without opposition at $50
this morning.
Lord Roberts has now spread a net
with some 40. 900 or more men and
$50 guns, covering the whole western
semi-circle around Wepener while
Gen. Hamilton has occupied the wat
erworks, practically without opposi-
tion.
The seventh division under General
Tucker, assisted by naval guns, has
made demonstration from karree
Siding, the Beers showing some oppo-
Sltion. At the same time a brigade
moved out from Glen to take up a po-
Sition on range of hills at Gennaa-
dendale, north of the MOdder. The
water works were found undamaged
with the exception Of the removal of
the sliding valves of the pumping en-
gines.
The Beers now can only escape
without risking an encounter, north
ward to Ladybrand, and the chances
of a successful outcome of the plans of
Lord Roberts depends on whether the
British troops can reach Thaba N'Chu
and Ladybrand before the retreating
commanders from De Vets Dorp and
Wepener.
A despatch from Maseru, Basuto-
land, dated Tuesday, says: "Col.
Dalgety was severely attacked with
six guns this morning, probably with
the view of preventing him from as
sisting the relief column. The Beers
assumed very offensive attitude.
A despatch from Aliwal North,
dated Tuesday, says: 1t is reported
that firing was heard between Zas-
tron and Wepener and it is believed
Gems. Brabant and Hart are in con-
tact with the enemy.
Herschel, Cape Colony, April 25.---
1t is reported that the British have
occupied Wepener after heavy fighting
and it is also said that the Beers were
unable to escape to the north. Great
developments are expected.
London, April 35.-Roberts reports
from Bloemfontein. The Carnes divi-
sion reached Bode Kop yesterday with
out casualties it's advance being
covered by the cavalry and horse ar
tillery which drove the enemy back |
with heavy loss. The dead were left
on the ground. Mounted troops this
morning are crossing M odder river at |
Valesbank.
French's arrival near Modder al
armed the Beers SO they evacuated
their strong position near DeWett |
Dorp during the night 1t was occu-
pied this morning by mounted in
fantry under Gen. Hamilton, who |
drove the enemy off the kop'es in the
of the water works with
out casualties on our side.
This was in accordance with my in
Structions to French to endeavor to
place himself astride the enemy's line
of retreat.
London, April 25.-Brabant and
Hart are still few miles short of
Wepener. The enemy appear to have
increased in the past few days.

The Gold Standard Law.

This recently enacted law commits the
country positively to the gold standard,
enactng it without any equivocation and
requiring the secretary of the treasury
to keep all kinds of money issued by the
United States at parity. 1t takes from
the secretary the discretion of redeeming
government bonds In silver, IL he should
so elect. 1t requires him to set apart a
reserve fund of $3.50, 900, 900 In gold, to
be used for redemption purposes and
maintained at a minimum of 800 900, 900
by bond sales II necessary. 1t breaks
the "endless chain" by provision that
notes redeeming for gold are not to be
thereby making 1t very difficult to de-
plete the gold reserve by run on the
treasury after the manner of 1894. 1t
provides that 70 bonds can be issued to
meet current expenses, without special
authority OF Congress. The intent of
this Is to restrict bond sales to the single
need and purpose of maintaining the re-
demption fund, but with all safeguards
thrown around 1t, the probability of a
need arising to borrow gold In that way
the treasury is provided for the funds
and accounts pertaining to the currency,
thus keeping the general fund distinct.
The secretary of the treasury Is required
to receive deposits Of gold and issue GER
tiflcates of deposit therefor in denomina-
lions of $40.
So much for the gold part. In regard
to silver, provision is made for coming
rs subsidiary coin 800, 900, 900 of the
silver bullion on hand, treasury notes of
1890 to be retired to sum equal to the
cost of the bullion used. Silver certifi
Gates are restricted to denominations Of
$40 and under, except that 10 per cent of
the total amount issued may be in de-
nominations of 800, $50 and 800. AS
fast as silver dollars are coined from the
bullion purchased under the act of 1890,
an equal amount of treasury notes must
be cancelled and silver certificates is
sued against the dollars so coined. 1t is
specially provided that nothing in the
act shall be construed to effect the legal
tender quality of silver dollars or to pre-.
clude international bi-metallism by CON
current action of the leading commercial
nations. Thus the present status of
silver in the currency is not materially
altered.
The banking provisions are no less i'm
portant. They widen and extend the
scope of the national banking act in a
liberal manner. Instead of restricting
the issue of bank notes to 80 per cent of
the bonds deposited, the law now per-
mits issuance TO the full amount. The
tax on circulation is reduced from one
per cent, the present rate, to one-fourth
of one per cent. National banks with ii
capital of $4,000 may be formed in
small towns. Besides this encourage
ment of the extension of banking aud
the enlargement of bank circulation, II
basis is provided for extending the sys-
tenn Of bond secured circulation The
bonds payable in 1904, 1907 and 1908.
amounting to more than $500, 600, 900, are
to be refunded into two per cent, thirty.
year gold bonds on basis of "a per
cent. This is the provision about which
there has been more doubt than about
any other in the bill.

STAPLE Products.

Bradstreet in his review of last week
says; Trade advices are, as whole,
cheerful, and the strength of values is
apparently undated, though some scot
spots" still present themselves. A
prominent feature last week, was the in
crease in strength of values of farm pre-
ducts, nearly all the cereals, pork pre-
ducts and cotton advancing, while ma
terials for manufacture and the products
thereof have generally remained steady
or unchanged. Corn and wheat reached
the highest point touched on the crop of
1899. The cotton goods market has
strengthened, but there is a tendency to
believe that the high point has been
touched. Wool is fairly steady, but
manufacturers are out of the market and
concessions can be obtained, though
London advices are better. Though
quiet, the iron and steel situation has
developed rather more confident tone.
Southern iron advices are of steady
prices and of rather more inquiry on ex-
port account. Reports Of coming ac-
tivity in railroad building multiply, but
1t is possible that false construction
may be put upon the reports that SO, 200
miles OF new road are projected.

True Planting.

The offer to give advice and furnish
working plans to persons DESTROYS to plant
forest trees. made last August by the
Division OF Forestry, has received imme-
date response from farmers in every part
OF the country. Although but a few
moths have elapsed since the offer be-
came generally known. one hundred and
eighteen applications have been received,
and plans tor thirty-eight of these will be
completed before the time for spring plant
ing to begin A still larger number have
asked for written advice, which does not
require field inspection BY the forest
officials. The ueeless States have been
quickest to avail themselves of assistance,
the number of applications being as
follows: Kansas. s.; Oklahoma, 10;
Nebraska, IL; North Dakota, 9; Iowa, 6;
Indiana, 5; Texas. 5; Minnesota. 4;
Colorado, }; Washington, 3; South
Dakota, = California : Illinois, , New
York, ,; Ohio u Missouri, /; Delaware,
1. The majority of plans are for tracts of
FIVE to ten acres, intended by prairie far
mers to afford wird-breaks and fuel sup
plies. A few paintings of 900 and 1000
acres are being made as experiments in
raising forest crops for market in regions
where such material is scarce After con-
sldering these applications in order. the
Division OF Forestry has sent experts to
study the onditions of as many as posi-
Bile of localities which offered the best
opportunities for object lessons TO the
public Plans will be sent without delay
TO each owner. instructing him in detail
how 10 plant. and recommending the
species best adapted to his tract
