Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PERU, Ind, June 14.-At the conclusion
of its testimony in the Jones case this aft
ernoon the state offered in evidence a num-
Der of letters which Jones wrote TO Nellie's
father, in one of which he suggested that it
would be well if he and Nellie married. He
said repeatedly that he loved Nellie. In
later letters, after Mr.. Berger paid no at
tention 10 him, Jones began TO offer
threats. He said they could only stick
him for passing off as man and wife, and
he further said he would make the case
cost Mr.. Berger some money, as he was
not going TO plead guilty if his hair turned
gray. In the opening statement by the de-
Tense IL was said the testimony on that
side would show that there was an engage
ment between Nellie and Jones TO go away
together, that they were happy together
and there was no misunderstanding. The
first witnesses were the people at whose
house Nellie and Jones stopped the first
morning after their departure. Jones told
them he and Nellie had been married for
two years.

Europe. In the course of an Interview last
night he was asked:
do you think the gold Democrats will
put a ticket in the field this fall?"
MY opinion is hat they will not" he
replied. But, of course, much will de-
pend on the action of the conventions at
Philadelphia and Kansas City"
'"Are the gold Democrats as strong nu-
merically as in 1882"
Yes. Stronger, If anything. While it
is true that some who voted for us or for
Mckinley have returned to the Democratic
fold, We have gained many recruits. We
fought for a principle in 1896 and are pre-
pared TO make another truggle If neceS-
sary. Neither General Palmer nor myself
had any idea of being elected, but we be-
lieved we would succeed in saving the
honor of the country. That We did, and
we have also brought about the adoption of
the gold standard. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 TO l is
dead as an issue. but the Bryanites may
try to make it one"
How will the South vote his year,"
1.-The South will be practically solid for
the Democratic party, except in Kentucky,
Maryland and Delaware. While many
Southern Democrats will support McKin-
ley's expansion policy, there are not enough
OF them to overcome the Democratic ma
~jorities. Were the Republicans united in
Maryland and Delaware L should believe
that the Mckinley electors would win
there. As matters stand, l believe they
nave a fighting chane."
How about Kentucky?"
II firmly believe that Kentucky will give
It's electoral vote to the Republican ticket.
There is a very strong feeling among many
Democrats that GoebeliSm deserves a re-
buke, and Mr.. Bryan injured himself with
that class of Democrats by entering our
State and taking an active part in the cam
paign In the interest of Goebel."

three days.
Thus far the German squadron has land
ed at Taku twenty-five officers and $50
men. The German troops at kiao-Chou
will be increased on June 10 by the arrival
of a transport with 800 soldiers. The trans
port originally had orders to relieve the
troops now serving there and TO bring them
back to Germany, but Emperor William
has just issued an order directing that the
steamer be detained at Kiao-Chou. This
action is presumably taken in view of the
situation at Picking. for, as the Deutsche
Kolonial zeitung points out, trouble is not
expected at Kiao-Chou-
Much concern is felt here regarding the
fate of the foreign diplomats at Picking.
1t is feared that they will be unable to give
emphatic expression TO the Chinese au-
thorities of the views of their respective
governments until a larger military force
arrives. The harmonious action or the
powers gives satisfaction in press and gov
eminent circles. but the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung demands that Germany make COM
mon cause with France and Russia in
China against England, in order to isolate
the latter and to break down her influence.

does not believe that the present trouble
will result in the downfall of the empire
and the division of China.

DISPATCH FROM ADMIRAL KEMpFF.
He Says $500 Foreign Troops Are En-
Route to Peking.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE following
cablegram has been received from Admiral
Kempff. dated Tong-Ku, June 10.
twenty-five hundred men are on the
road to Picking for the relief of the lega-
ton. One hundred are Americans. The

ously imperiled. Urge government to act

force The association. using these two
cabiegrams as a basis. is circulating a
petition for signatures. addresses to the
President, asking that this government
take energetic steps to protect American
lives and interests In China; also, that the
United States act In concert with the other
powers In this emergency.
A dispatch from Admiral Remey received
at the Navy Department makes plain the
reason why the gunboat Nashville was sent
TO Taku. instead OF the Helena, as re-
quested by the Navy Department, in ans
wer to Admiral Kempff's appeal. Admiral
Remey reports that the Helena is now at
the capital Of the island of Panay, serving
as a station ship. She Is in need of two
months repairs and was consequently un-
available for the required service. The
Helena has been subject TO very heavy
service ever since her departure

war. and 1t is believed that her boilers are
In need OF renovation.
Admiral Kempff's dispatch this morning
makes no mention of any undue delay In
the movement OF the foreign forces upon
Picking, and as he Is In a position TO secure
the latest and most accurate news from the
relief column. the officials here believe
there have been no untoward happenings
Some surprise is expressed at the strength
Of the column There is a sincere regret
