has, and that here as well as there he sees
many idle men. He is induced to believe
that the prosperity the republican and inde'
pendent newspapers talk about, is simply
breath and nothing more.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES

Dispatches from Chinese sources say
that the foreign ministers shut up in
Pekin are safe. Il is added that the
foreigners are leaving Pekin under o
Chinese escort and will soon be heard
from at the coast.
While these stories are not credited
anywhere, the feeling is growing that
the ministers may after all be alive.
They may, it is thought, be held as
hostages by the Chinese government in
the hope of getting better terms from
the powers.
Color Is lent TO this view by the
proposition of the Chinese government
submitted to Washington officials, offer
ing to produce the foreign ministers al
q seacoast town provided the allies will
agree to take no further steps of mill
tary aggression. The proposition was
promptly rejected by the government
1t is thought that like proposition has
been made TO the other powers.
Stories OF the killing of foreigners and
burning up Of missions come from
severa, parts of China The trouble is
said to be spreading. 1t is reported, on
the other hand, that the Boxers are
growing tired OF the movement and are
turning on their leaders. Prince Tuan
Is said to have been murdered by mutt
nous followers.
The United States government has
absolutely refused the Chinese PROPOSE
ton to suspend military operations
against Pekiu in return for the de-
livery at Tienisin of the foreign minis
ters.
An official telegram received by Con-
sui Goodnow at Shanghai stated that
all the foreigners aud many Of the ma
tive Christians at Tao Ting had been
murdered and the missions burned.
Capt. Wilde has sent word that the
bsttleship Oregon had been locked at
Kure and that her structural strength
was intact.
Toe China inland mission ia Toronto
has received word that all the mission
aries in Pso Ting Flu were murdered.
1t was reported that Prince Tuan

Nav Kidnap king or Bride.

Vienna, July IS. King Alexander oil
Servia announces his intention OF mar
rying the widowed Nine. Drsgs Mas
chin on Sunday next, and will carry out
his intention unless either he or his
bride is assassinsted or kidnap-
ped, contingencies which may be
regarded as within the bounds
of possibility, as ex-KiDg Mil
an has threatened to prevent the
marriage at any cost. The danger TO
which the young monarch and the
fascinating widow-his senior by II
years-is exposed is due to the
fact that his father, the ex-King,
and the Ministers who have just re-
signed. realize that their day is ended
in Servi, if the marriage takes place.
Milan will be compelled to tread once
more the weary path of exile and to
abandon all those fat emolumeDts which
he needs for his prohigaces and gam
ding propeDsities
Nine. Maschin, through her marriage,
will become Queen OF Servia, but the
union cannot be regarded 10 the
light of a mesalliance, for the dynasty
TO which King Alexander and King
Milan belong was founded in the pres.
eat century by a common Servian
sWineberd.

THE GOEBEL MURDER TRIAL.

Ex-Governor Taylor, of Kentucky,
Was implicated yesterday in the Goehel
killing by witnesses at the Powers trial
at Georgetown, Kentucky.
Sergeant F. Wharton Golden was
put on the stand. He started out by
telling that he was guard at the
Frankfort penitentisry under tho re-
publican administration from 1896 until
1898 and was an applicant for assistant
acknowledgement under General Taylor.
He said on the day before the shooting
Golden saw John Powers give Youtsey
the keys to the Secretary of States of
fee, and later Powers told them they
had procured two negroes, Mason
Hockersmith and "Tallow Dickn
Combs, to kill Goebel. Golden told
Powers this must not be done, as it
would ruin the party. Alter this Yout
sey came 10 Powers again and said
something about the key. Powers
gave him another key.
On the morning of the assassination
Golden, Caleb and John Powers and
Walter Day went to Louisville. Be
fore leaving witness was in the secre-
tary of States Office. Governor Tsy-
lor was there, as were several men
from the mountains. Z. j. Howard,
OF Harlan county, wanted the governor
to call out the troops, but tho governor
replied: "You all must act first" On
the way to Louisville they heard
of the assassination. Caleb Powers
said, sarcsstically: THAT is shame"
John Powers also laughed over it. Day
said nothing. Caleb Powers told Gold
en- that "they had all made mistake
in leaving Frankfort; it would look sus.
picious." On the way back to Frank
tort Caleb Powers said he was liable to
be arrested, and asked permission 10
put his pistol 10 Golden's vslise.
Golden said that early in January he
and Caleb Powers took walk togeth-
er and Powers said he thought they
should get several hundred mountain
men to stay in Frankfort all the time.
Golden suggested that they bring a
farmer from the mountains and let him
kill Goebel by raising fight with him
on the street. Powers said that
wouldn't do, as the police would kill
too many of our men that way. In Feb
ruary Golden was in Powers's office
when a civil engineer was making
some measurements. Powers said
"'They say the shot came from this
room and they are going to prove it. /
believe it would be better for us to 60
to Franklin and Polsgrove and tell
them all about it,"
Golden walked home with Governor
Taylor one evening, and the latter
asked him il the other mountain men
would back up republican member OF
the legislature in case fight should be
precipitated, and further along in the
conversation he said:
Golden, it looks like a horrible
thing to kill O man, but that looks like
the only way to handle Goebel and his
gang" The cross examination was be-
gun, but had not progressed far when
court adjourned.

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY IS, 1900

THE CHIEF reason Senator Hoar as
signs for repudiaiing all bis views on
the subject of freedom and liberty for
the oppressed of all the nations
of the earth, and his adop-
ton of Mr.. McKinley's imperialistlc
ideas, is that the South, during the war
between the States, fought for
slavery" and the chief reason assigned
by some of his Northern republican
advocates for their opposition to Mr..
BRYAN. is that be has the solid support
of the States that composed the slave
holding Confederacy." The great
trouble with Northern republicans,
even those who assume to be proud OF
their alleged superior education ana
COUTURE" is their ignorance OF the his
tory and condition OF the Southerh
part of their own country. Inc war
between the States was anything else
than a shareholders war, or war TO
perpetuste slavery. 1t was war 10
defense of the rights and privileges
guaranteed the people OF the South by
the Constitution of the United States OF
America. OF all the six hundred thou
sand men IN the Confederate army
all there we're, against the three mil
lion in the federal army-there were
very few who owned slaves. Among
the soldiers in that army from this city,
there we're hardly dozen slave own
ers, and the same ratio prevailed III all
the regiments raised in all the other
cities and districts throughout the en-
tire South, nearly all of them being
composed, almost eotirely, officers as
well as privates, ofmen who didntown'
and never expected to own negroes
but who rallied to the call OF their re-
spectiye States in defense OF the rights
of those States. II Mr.. Hoar and his
endorsers should devote little of their
vacation this summer to the study OF
the history of the Southern States. they
would learn many things of which they,
at least, seem to be utterly and entire
ly ignoran.
