there are still fully 1900 Europeans
connected with missionary work, in
isolated situations.
when the governor of Shan-Tung
communicated to the consuls the inn
perial decree of July "a he omitted
important passages addressed to Ii
Hung Chang:
cit is admittedly inadvisable to
kill all the ministers, but is equally
unwise to send them to Tien-Tsin. 1t
viii be much wiser to keep the sur
vivOrs at Picking as hostages.
"'You are commanded to hasten
to Peking. You are mourning impe-
rial displeasure by delays. You have
been appointed viceroy of Chi Ii be-
cause, with your military experience,
you will successfully lead the i'm
perial armies against the foreigners
in Chi Ii which Yu Lu, the present
vicerOy, is unable to do, owing to his
ignorance of military affairs
eli Hung Chang replied to this
edict asking to be allowed to retire
on account of his age.
''Sheng now admits that he has had
kilograms since July 10 announcing
that every foreigner in Pao Ting Flu
was murdered, including 40 British,
French and American missionaries,
and announcing also that two French
Jesuits and 1000 converts have been
massacred at Kwang Ping Flu, on the
borders of Shan Tung and Chilli. A
majority of the consuls favor strong
measures against Sheng's duplicity.
Local officials assert that the Ital-
ian priests murdered in HUI Nan Wen
were wrapped in cotton which had
been soaked with kerosene, and were
slowly roasted to death. 1t is believed
that all foreigners in Chilli have by
this time been maSSacIed; and the
wave of massacre is spreading from
Ming Pc and Hong Chow, from which
point 30 English and American mis-
sionaries are endeavoring to escape
in boats down the river to Kiang Su.
Officials here anticipate a general ris-
ing along the Yang Use Kiang about
August 1.
IAN astounding American intrigue
has been revealed to the consuls here
in the shape of a skillful attempt to
get the maritime customs placed in
the hands of an American missionary
named Ferguson, who, although he
was an active ally of Sheng in the lat
ter's endeavors to hOodwink the world
with regard to events in Picking, was
supported by the American officials
in his claim to the appointment of in
spector general"
Washington, July 30.-There is a
growing expectation at the state de-
partment that news of the utmost inn
portance may be Forthcoming at any
moment from Peking. 1t is believed
that the basis for this expectation is
the knowledge on the part of the Of
ficials that certain machinery hereto
fore set in motion may result in the
opening up of communication through
some secret but reliable channels. 1t
is known that a second effort has
been made by our own government
to get another message from Mr.. Con-
ger and that nearly all of the powers
also have resorted to private agencies
in their own interests, with like OBJ
ject.

torneys for the prosecution in the
Powers case at the close of the evil
dence on that side will ask that the
jury be taken to Frankfort to view
the state house grounds and build
ings, the spot where Goebel fell, and
other things in connection with the
case. They say the commonwealth
will rest its case at the conclusion
of the testimony of Wharton Golden.
Golden resumed the witness stand
at $3.50, and Judge Sims began a Sc
we're close cross-eXamination. Golden
in response to questions told of being
sent for by Tom Cromwell who told
him he was about to be arrested for
completely in the murder. Refused
to talk at that time, but went to see
Powers and told him he was going to
leave Frankfort to keep out of trou-
bic. Powers told witness it would be
better for him to give himself up and
not to leave under any circumstances.
Witness went back to see Cromwell
and Lawyer Campbell and told them
he was ready to tell all he knew, but
could not do so in Frankfort, as he
would be killed. Campbell promised
the witness to do all he could to
keep him from being prosecuted.
A few days later witness went
to Cincinnati where he met
Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin
and Lawyer Campbell and told them
all he knew.
Judge Sims asked the witness if he
did not tell his brother-in-law, John
Stamper, that he had been promised
$4,000, and that he could have $4,000
IN case of a conviction of parties, but
he denied that he had ever said any
thing of that sort. Also denied that
he had ever said that if he and Gull
ton could get together they could
convict them all.
Golden was kept busy for an hour
or more denying that he had made
statements that are attributed to him
by persons who it is supposed will be
introduced by the defense to impeach
his testimony.
Judge Sims asked Golden, "D0 YOU
mean to tell his jury that you were
willing to go into the legislature and
kill anybody"
The witness replied: 81 was W.
ling to go in there, and, in case of
fight, to stand up for my sile. !
would have killed anybody that got
in the way of my shots" He said he
did not know who brought 'TallOw
Dick Combs, the negro, to Frank
fort, but that Culton told him he
brought him.
Georgetown, KY, July 3O.-The
prosecution in the case of Caleb Pow
ers as an alleged accessory in the
murder of Goebel closed its testimony
Saturday afternoon, rested the case
and requested that the jury be sent
to Frankfort to view the scene of the
tragedy. The defense did not object
to the jury going to Frankfort, but it
will not go till all the testimony is in.
The prosecution is confident of a con-
viction on the presentation made to
the jury.
The defense has not yet decided
whether or not it will make an open
ing statement. The indications are
that it will move for peremptory in
structions to find for the defendant.
Powers may go on the stand himself
and testify in his own behalf
