Ii HUNG CHANG
Has Started for Pekin-His Interview
With the Foreign Consuls.

| Has Started for Pekin-His Interview
With the Foreign ConsuIs.
| LONDON, July 1S.-The Daily Tele-
graph has the following from Canton,
dated July 16:
In an interview with the foreign Con-
| suls to-day, Ii Hung Chang said that
his mission to Pekin was two-fold-to
save the lives of the foreign ministers
| and to arrange the best possible terms
of peace with the allied powers. The
American and French Consuls while
congratulating him upon these COM
mendable purposes, reminded him OF
his pledges to protect foreigners and to
preserve peace in southern and central
China.
Earl Ii replied that he must obey
the summons to Pekin, but that he had
taken all necessary precautions He
added that he has received important
cables from Lord Salisbury and NJ Del
casse, demanding protection for the
foreign ministers in Pekin and threat
ening to take life for life of the high
officials responsible if the ministers
were murdered.
He told the consuls that he was the
only man in China who dared TO
transmit such messages 10 the en-
press, but he had sent them verbal and
he did not doubt that had exerted a
powerful influence in saving the min
listers lives. He went on to say that
as the doyen of the viceroys he had
also induced all the other yiceroys ex-
cept two, to join in lengthy memorial
to the throne, asking security for the
foreigners, suppression Of the boxers
and full reparation for the damage
zone and the lives lost.
To the American who inquired
about the actual safety of the foreign
ministers at Pekin. Ii answered that
he had received no news from Pekin
within the past week, but that, If any
were alive he was almost certain mat
tiers could be satisfactorily arranged
with the allied powers.
IF they are dead"-here he shrug-
ged his shoulders significantly and adj
ded with lowered yoice-"it is hard TO
tell what may happen. l am going to
Pekin practically unarmed except for
my body guard of 200 men. and that

world that I don't favor any fighting

GEORGETOWN, KY, July 17.-Pro-
ceedings in the Powers case were made
more interesting to-day by the intro
duction of several witnesses against
the defendant The most interesting
witness of the day was Lucy Brock,
said to be the sweetheart of the young
defendant. 1t is probable that either
Culton or Noakes will be on the stand
tomorrow.
Finley Anderson testified that on
4 January "a, Caleb Powers told him
the crowd of mountaineers which was
being organized was going to Frank
fort to intimidate the legislature and
if necessary to kill enough Democrats
to give the Republicans a majority.
He said; Powers told me Goebel
would never live to be governor, and
said he (Powers) would kill him if
nobody else would"
Witness said he heard Powers and
Others talking about Goebel wearing
coat of mail, but some of them said
that
He Could BE Killed Any Way.
Powers was in conference with ex-
Secretary of State Charles Finley,
FWharton Golden, Robert Noakes and
Others. On cross-examination the wit
mess became considerably confused,
admitting that he had called ON Col.
Il. C. Campbell OF counsel Tor the pros
ecution, in Cincinnati. Witness adj

mari, but denied that it was due to his

die told witness he was getting up a
crowd of 1000 mountain men to go to
Frankfort $50 that in case the Demo-
Gratis robbed them of the State offices
they could take care of themselves"
Witness said Powers told her the plan
to take the 1000 mountaineers to
Frankfort was Governor Taylor's ere
alton.
D. M. Woodson, the civil engineer,
who made the measurements on State
house ward at the time of the finding
OF the bullet in the tree, was recalled,
but told nothing new.
Senator Newton Frazier,
of Shelby county, who was standing
between the executive and legislative
buildings when the assassination oc-
cured ard declared the shots were
undoubtedly fired from the executive
building. Captain Hawn, of the Bar
louisville military company, testified
as to the conversations between him.
self and the Powers brothers touching
the movements of the company. John
Powers asked him If he would not
turn over the company to one of the
Lieutenan.s and he agreed to do so.
Caleb Powers told him he wanted the
company and other mountaineers to go
to Frankfort for the effect it would
have on the Legislature.
Captain Watts, of the Williamsburg
company, also told of a conversation
with John Powers relative to taking his
company to Frankfort. He declined to
do so except under orders.

ceptance. lie tries to get away from
the silver issue as quickly and with
as little attention to it as possible;
and to cover his retreat he beclouds
the air with denunciations of trusts,
with abuse of Republican administra-
tive policies and with a frantic bid
for the support of Populists, socialists
and the discontented of every stripe;
yet the immediate great issue in his
candidacy will not stay hidden.
When Mr.. Bryan calls the Philip
pine question or imperialism the
paramount issue, he knows that he
is merely playing with words. If it
had been paramount when the treaty
of peace was pending he would not
have urged it's ratification, well know
ing that in every action since Presi-
dent Mckinley has simply executed
the terms and requirements of law
| that Bryan made. If it were really
! paramount now, he would not give
! away his case by urging the retention
! of Porto Rico while advocating vir-
! tual abandonment of the Philippines,
/ the two having been acquired under
/ the same treaty, irrespective of the
/ consent of the governed.
There is no overwhelming urgency in
! settling the details of our relationship
| toward the Philippines. The represen-
tative Americans military and civil,
now at work out there are doing their
work we'll and progressing steadily
toward the establishment of law and
order. If Mr.. Bryan was content to
! help to load those islands upon his
countrymen he should not be in a
| hurry to find fault with the manner
in which the task of pacifying and re-
constructing them is being performed,
especially when the testimony of a
great majority of those who have been
there say the work is being done as
we'll as the conditions will permit. 1t

any great undertaking; much easier
than to assume responsibility and then
to do better
But the stopping of the free silver

our government toward the holders OF
it's obligations is an urgent consider
alton touching both the national
pocketbook and the national honor
The longer this assault whether direct
or by disguise, is tolerated, the greater

Admiral Dewey is again experiencing
a taste of the Miniature of forgetful
nation. His Washington neighbors
are loud in criticism because the lawn
about his property in that city is not
kept in proper shape. Only a few
months ago doubtless the people who
now find fault with the admiral would
have been glad of the opportunity to
operate a lawn mower for him.
