M. E. CONFERENCE ADDRESS

Frankfort, KY, May S-W. H. Culton
gave testimony in the Goebel murder
Investigation today. He stated that
Governor Taylor authorized the wit
ness to give Youtzey any amount of
money he desired if he would leave
Kentucky. AT conference in Lexing-
ton, on the Sunday before Goebel was
shot, it was decided that Representa-
tive Henry Berry, who had been un-
seated few days before, should go to
the house of representatives the next
morning and take his seat and refuse
to give it up. Van Meter, his oppo-
nent, was to be prevented, in some
way from going to the hall that morn
ing Caleb Powers, who was at the
conference, telephoned Governor Tay-
lor, at Frankfort, two or three times
In regard to the conference. On
cross-examination Culton said he did
not know any list of state senators or
representatives who were to be put
out Of the way. Culton said he did not
know where Powers or Youtzey was
when the shot was fired. The last
talk he had with Youtzey, the latter
said the plan to kill Goebel had been
abandoned Culton had been asked by
Taylor to ascertain what the witnesses
in contest knew, because he was law
yer. To the prosecution he said that |
he told more now on the stand than
to any person except to his father.
Here his testimony ended.
Circuit CLERK Moore, of Jackson
county, denied that Culton told him
anything about a plan to bring on a
riot and kill Goebel and other members
Of the legislature.

The Death List at the scofieId Mine
Reaches Close to Three
Hundred.

Salt Lake City. Utah, May s-There
is very little to add this morning t.
what has already been told of the ex-
plosion at the Scofield mine. So far
almost two hundred bodies have been
recovered. It is thought that suffici-
ent bodies yet remain in the mine to
bring the total up to 300. Nobody en-
tertains the faintest hope that there
is living man in the mine 1t is now
only question of recovering the bod
les of the victims and that cannot be
finished for several days. The fact
that the rush Of air from the mouth
of the main entry of the mine was
sufficient to blow a man and team
across the gulch almost two hundred
yards, will serve to indicate what a
force was exerted within the workings
OF the mine and the immediate vicin-
ity of the explosion. The body of
Joseph Graves, a Utah batteryman,
was among those taken out. He was
married about three months ago, his
wife not yet being eighteen years Of
age. If any one man is to blame for
the accident, it will never be known,
for no man who can tell the story has
come out of the mine alive. Many old
coal miners, familiar with these mines,
state that they have always been re-
garded as the safest mines in the state. |
These men also say the company's
policy has always been to spare no
expense in order to keep the mines
In thoroughly safe condition. At the
coal company's store everything is be,
ing given out free OF charge that the
families of the dead are in immediate
need of, the store being kept open day
md night.
Salt Lake, Utah, May "a special to
he Desert News" from Schofeld at
loon says: At this time 225 bodies
lave been recovered from the mine.
Yearly all are in frightful condition.
State Coal Mine Inspector Thomas,
Who is acquainted with all the work
ngs of the mine, says to the best of
lis belief there are twelve more bodies
n the mine, buried under caves and
'roken timbers. One hundred and
fifty bodies are now ready for COINS.

A BIG BULGARIAN UPRISING

London, May 3-Lord Roberts dis
patch throws no light on the object and
possibilities of the extensive opera
tions in the neighborhood Of Thaba N
Chu. One military critic believes that
the inference is justified that Lord
Roberts successful attack onHoutnek
threatens the. Boer center and puts
the British in favorable position to
crush the Boer left, which is still fac
ing General Rumble at Thaba N Chu,
ON their right, which is somewhere be-
tween Bradfort and Windburg. Gen
eral Ian Hamilton's success at Hout-
mex elicits little enthusiasm as the
critics unanimously pointed out some
time ago that the policy of the Beers
would be one of slow retirement. Col
Baden-Powell reported officially from
Mafeking, under date of April 20, that
all was we'll there. There are dimin-
ished rations for nine thousand souls
within the beleaguered town.
Pretoria, May 2-An official war bul-
letin issued here reports that April
2Sth the Federals captured nine pris-
oners east of Thaba NChu, and that
April SOth British mounted corps
appeared near Brandfort. The Fed
erals attacked them on two sides, the
British RETIRED two Federals were
wounded and eleven prisoners were
taken. Another account. semiofficial, |
of this affair, says that the Walker
stroom and Ermelo commands had a
skirmish with the British near Brand
fort. After sharp fighe eleven prison
ers were taken and nineteen British |
were left dead on the field, including |
Captain Liddy. A few Federals were |
wounded. The heavy bombardment |
by the British has been resumed at |
Fourteen Streams. An American has
been arrested in connection with the
Begbie explosion.
London, May 3-The war office re-
ceived the following report from Lord
Roberts under date of Bloemfontein,
Nay Q: General Hamilton met with
success and drove the
enemy out of strong position they
rad taken up at Houtnek, with COM

east and south, leaving many prisoners
