CANADIAN TROOPERS PENALTY.
Cruel Punishment Alleged to Have
Been inflicted.

NEW YORK. May "a special to the
World from Ottawa says:
Col Mcclellan has presented In the
Canadian house OF commons petition
from his constituency asking the govern
ment to inquire into the report that a SOL
der of the first Canadian contingent had
been punished for looting.
1t appears that after long, arduous
march, and after having fought in the bat
tie of Paardeberg, the Canadians were ex-
hausted and half starving, having sub
sisted on quarter ratiops for three weeks.
The Canadian in question, a private,
driven frantic by hunger. "comman-
deered' a Boer farmers chicken, which
he shared with his tent companions. He
was subsequently concentrated for loot
ing, and war correspondent reports that
the British officers sentenced him to fifty
six days in confinement as punishment :.
This was carried out by species OF
crucinxion, the victim being bound. with
outstretched arms and legs, on the wheel
of field gun carriage, in the face OF the
blazing sun, for two hours each day. The
agony Is said to have been intense.
The minister of militia could not confirm
or deny the correspondents dispatch.
II was shown that such barbarous
form OF punishment was not provided for
In the army laws of England. and the gov
eminent was asked to give the house in
formation on the subject. The report of
Col. Otter, received here, does not state
the kind of punishment melted out to the
troops. but adds;
''No doubt the provocation is great. con-
sidering the lack Of food for the previous
three weeks, yet the offense, from mill
tary point of.view. could not be palliated."

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Prices of the
raw materials of foreign production used
by American manufacturers continue to
advance in the foreign markets from
which these supplies are drawn. The btu
reau of statistics has for many years pre-
scented. in its monthly and annual publi-
cations, statements of the prices in for
eign markets of the leading articles of
manufacturers materials and foodstuffs
imported. The prices of these articles are
determined by the statement of the inn
porter, who in his invoice names under
oath the actual cost of the article, at
the foreign port whence It is shipped to
the United States. The statements thus
obtained indicate, therefore, the actual
price in the foreign market, unaffected
by tariff charges at United States ports.

markable increase In the foreign price of

GOEBEL MURDER INQUIRY.
WITNESS CULTON CONTINUES HIS
STORY OF THE CRIME.
Asserts That Gov. Taylor Wished
Youtsey to Leave the State-Yout-
scy Told witness the Plot to XIII
Goebel Had Been Abandoned.

FRANKFORT, KY, May s-w. II. Gull
ton resumed his testimony in the Goebel
murder investigation today. He stated
that Gov. Taylor authorized the witness
to give Youtsey any amount of money de-
sired IL he would leave Kentucky. At a
conference in Lexington the Sunday be-
fore Goebel was shot 1t was decided that
Representative Henry Berry, who had
been unseated a few days before. should
go to the house of representatives next
morning and take his seat and refuse to
give 1t up. Vanmeter. his opponent. was
to be in some way prevented from going
to the hall that morning
Caleb Powers, who was at the confer
ence, telephoned TO Gov. Taylor at Frank
fort two or three times in regard to the
conference. On cross-examination Culton
said he did not know of any list OF state
senators or representatives who were to
be put out OF the way.
On redirect examination Culton said that
Sergeant-at-Arms Haley signed the sub
poenas for witnesses for Gov. Taylor to
testify before the gubernatorial commit
tee, and authorized Culton to secure good
men in the various counties to serve them.
Culton said he did not know where Pow
ers or Youtsey were when the shot was
fired.
The last talk he had with Youtsey the
latter said the plan to Kill Goebel had
been abandoned Culton had been asked
by Taylor to ascertain what the witnesses
in the contest knew, because he was a
lawyer. To the prosecution he said he
had told more now on the stand than to
any person except his father. Here his
testimony ended.
Circuit Clerk Moore, Of Jackson county.
denied that Culton had told him anything
about a plan to bring on a riot and kill
Goebel and other members OF the legis-
lature.
The afternoon session OF the court was
taken up with testimony by the surgeons
who conducted the autopsy on the body Of
Goebel and civil engineer who had made
measurements of the state house yard.
The prosecution sought to show from the
nature of the wounds and from the course
of the bullet which Is supposed to have
passed through Goebel's body and was
dug out of a tree near where he fell that
the shot was fired from a window in the
office of the secretary Of state.
