did not want to serve under him. Dixon
told me not to be discouraged, as Goebel
would not be governor was tired and
asked Powers how long this was going
on. He said not much longer, as Goebel
would be killed and that would settle it.

SENSATIONAL At GEORGETONN
MOST DAMAGING TESTIMONY YET
GIVEN IN GOEBEL MUIR
DER TRIAL
PRISONER NOT PERTURBED
Manner in Which Witness NOaks
Gave His Testimony Greatly
Impressed Those In the
Court Room.

GEORGETOWN, KY, July 20-The
most sensational testimony yet given in
| the trial of ex-Secretary of States Powers
was given by Robert Noaks, a Louisville
& Nashville railroad conductor, of Cor
bin, Whitley county.
The manner of the witness, and the
ease and accuracy with which he detailed
events, was such as to make a deep i'm
preston on the crowd of spectators,
which was larger today than at any time
since the first and second days of the
trial .:
During the testimony against him, the
first that has so far been brought out di-
rectly connecting Powers with the as
sassination, the defendant did not change
color. At no time since the trial, whether
the evidence was favorable or otherwise,
has Powers changed expression more
than to smile occasionally when things
were going his way, or to flush barely
perceptibly on other occasions. Today,
as usual, he sat with his counsel, and
prompted them as to the questioning on
REORGANIZATION.
WHAT NoAKS TOLD.
Noaks told of being asked by Caleb
Powers to get a committee of militia,
composed of men who would fight. He also
asked Noaks to get smokeless powder
cartridges. He secured a company, and
it was mustered in. Then Powers d.
rected. him to capture two trains and
bring his company to Frankfort. Charles
Finley had warned Noaks not to do that,
and proposed to hire the trains.
Asked if Powers ever spoke to him
about Goebel, he said yes. Powers said
the contests would amount to nothing,
in the state could hold the party together
Witness had another talk with John L.
Powers, who said:
This is life and death struggle with
US, but we intend to hold our own, even
If we have to kill some one

from Caleb Powers. who asked him to

Said: The contests won't amount to a

Witness further stated that when they
reached Frankfort Caleb Powers said to
him:

Cipher Message Received From Minister Con
ger Thought by Government Off
cials to Be Genuine
1t Is Discredited in Europe Where 1t Is Be
lieved the Dispatch Was Manipu-
lated by the Chinese.

WASHINGTON, July 20-Like a flash
Of sunlight out of the dark sky came the
intelligence at an early hour today, that
United States Minister Conger had sent
q cipher cablegram from Peking to the
state department at Washington, making
known that two days ago he was alive.
and that the foreigners were fighting for
their safety. The Chinese minister, WI
Ting Fang received the message.
Within an hour the welcome intelli-
gence that Mr.. Conger had been heard
from, after weeks Of silence and evil
report, was flashed throughout the world,
dispelling the gloom which had prevailed
everywhere, and bringing to officials and
to the public generally a sense of pro-
found relief.
The dispatch was a reply to Secretary
Hays cable inquiry to Minister Conger,
on July IL, and as both messages were
in the American cipher code they were
regarded by the officials as above the
suspicion OF having been tampered with
in the course of transmission through
Chinese channels.
Mr.. WI promptly communicated the
dispatch to the state department, where
the translation was made from the cipher
figures, and soon all Washington was
astir with the intelligence.
1t was telegraphed by Secretary Hay
to the president who responded with
wholesome expression of gratifcatio
and word of it was sent to the various
cabinet officers They gathered in Sec
retary Hays office, and an impromptu
cabinet conference was held in the diplo-
matte chamber, mainly for the purpose of
exchanging congratulations and of taking
a survey of the situation to see If it had
been materially changed by this import
ant development.
First of all, from the standpoint of the
administration officials, the most well
come feature of the message was its
assurances that the American minister
was himself alive two days ago. But
with this cheering news came the
ominous statement of Minister Conger
that the besieged foreigners were In
the British legation, under continued shot
and shell from Chinese troops, and that
only prompt rescue could avert q, general
massacre.
CRY FOR HELP.
After the first flush of thankfulness this
graver feature of the message beean
to impress itself upon cabinet officials
most deeply. AS one of them remarked
There are the poor creatures nannea
up under fire of shot and shell. and an
pealing to us for help

nounced change of policy, for 1t was felt
that already every energy had been bent
toward meeting the situation, and that
there was absolutely nothing more that
could be done. After all the cabinet Of
ficials felt, and so stated, thai the mes
sage was an evidence of friendliness and
good faith of the pro-foreign element of
the Chinese, and that wisdom dictated a
course which would continue to utilize
this friendship.
Inc government accepted the message
as authentic, and Secretary Hay trans
mitted 1t to ell our ambassadors and
ministers abroad, with instructions to Law
1t before the respective governments to
which they are accredited, and urge uron
them the necessary of cooperation for tn
immediate relief of the foreigners at
Peking. A message also was sent by
Secretary Long to Admiral Remev. con-
Vey1ng the intelligence of the desperate
situation in Peking, and instructing him
to use and urge every possible en-
deavor for relief" This message. Secre-
tary Long explained, meant for Admiral
Remey to himself use" and to urge
upon the commanding officers of the
en0e9VOp
for the relief of Peking
Secretary Root sent a similar notifca-
tion to Col. Coolidge, the senior Ameri-
can officer ashore at Tien Tsin. This
action was the result of the conference
of Secretaries Hay, Long and Root. 1t
was realized that the land and naval
forces of the United States now in China.
could not, single-Eanded, push on to Pc
king, and the other powers, accordingly.
were appealed to on the basis of Minister
Congers message to cooperate for relief.
MR.. HAYS OPTIMISM.
Secretary Hay explained his reasons
fer placing reliance in the authenticity
of Minister Conger's dispatch, saying that
1t was complete reply in code to the
code message sent to him, and that its
authenticity was vouched for by the
Tsung-Li-Yamen. "Of course" said
said Secretary Hay, smiling, 'I am not
omniscent and may be fooled but 1 can
not see how the authenticity of Minister
Congers cable can be questioned"
Secretary Hay said he attached no sig
nificance to the use Of words "Chinese
troops" in the message. They did not
mean, in his opinion, that the Chinese
government troops were besieging the
foreigners. He seemed to entertain lit
tie doubt that the Chinese government
itself was doing all in its power to sup
press the Boxer insurrection. In this
connection the message from Consul
Fowler that Gen. Yuan Shih Kai, gov
ernor of Shantung province, reported that
the Chinese authorities were doing all In
their power to cut down the insurrection,
is exceedingly welcome intelligence. It
not only confirms the theory of the state

Great Britain Fears
Plague Epidemic

New York, Aug. ga Tribune spe-
cial from London says:
While India is suffering from one of
the worst outbreaks of cholera ever re-
corded, so that people are dying at the
rate of seven thousand week, Great
Britain is alarmed by the prospect Of
an epidemic of bubonic plague within
her own boundaries. The medical Az.
thorities at Glasgow have already had
several cases under their observation.
On Monday a child sickened and died
within forty-eight hours from an i'll
ness which was at first thought to be
pneumonia, but after a minute exami-
nation by the hospital authorities was
pronounced plague. Another death has
occurred and ten families were remov-
ed to a reception house for patients
suffering from this disease which the
municipality has hastily established.

REGISTER THB VOTERS.

Republicans have been so deeply en-
gagged in the primaries and preparation
for Legislative nomination that the
sessions of the Registration Board have
apparently passed from notice. Every
worker of the party should wake up to
the fact that the task of the campaign
has but begun. Efforts to increase the
Republican rolls should now be re-
doubled. Not only should party man
ayers see to It that every Republican
on the party rolls is registered. but u
complete canvass made of every pre-
cinct. The primaries were mere
bagatelle compared with the import
ance of getting voters registered on the
lists preparatory to meeting the COM
mon enemy, whatever II may be, in No
vember.
Republicans have now settled what
ever personal differences may have
existed and should present an active as
well as united front. All the prestige
gained in the last few months may be
lost, If the party managers wait until
the last few weeks or days, before get
ting down to careful canvass. The
responsibility rests with the present
territorial committee which should lose
no time in inaugurating the work that
must of necessity be continued with re.
newed vigor by the succession to be
elected at the Territorial convention.
Notwithstanding the large enroll
ment in the preliminary party organi-
zation, the present voting population Is
an unknown quantity. The nomina-
ton of acceptable candidates put before
the people on a liberal Republican
platform will increase party strength,
but will accomplish little should vos-
ers be lost by failure to register. A
house to house canvass in the country
districts as well as Honolulu should be
begun Immediately.

report telegraphed from Washington
that Germany is preparing to make San
Francisco u base Of supplies with a
view to sending very powerful army
to China, has attracted considerable
attention.
Your correspondent has made inquir-
les on the subject in shipping circles
and finds that German orders FOR
stores and provisions are sufficiently
extensive to lend probability to the
rumor. 1t certainly would not surprise
the diplomatic authorities here II the
German force should eventually reach a
total of 10000 or $4,000.
