paper at Lexington-Destroy Re
publican Party.

Lexington, KY, March 29.-The Morn
ing Herald of this city will print to-
morrow the following special from Wn.
chester, KY:
IF Youtzey viii tell what I think he
knows, he can hang Taylor and desire :
the Republican party. l feel sure THAI
can arrange for enough of the appro-
prlation for YOutZey to make him and
his wife comfortable for the rest of
their lives. .Culton is going to confess
in the morning and Youtzey had better
get in while he can. The money is going
and he might as well have his share"
The aDove is what James Andrew
Scott said at the Reese house Monday
night. He was addressing n. H. With
erspoon and Judge c. S. French, re-
spectlVely brother-in-law and father-in-
law 70 Youtzey. Scott had telephOned
WItheTspoon early in the afternoon,
Meet me at the Reese house on the
quiet" and he had been promptly met.
Judge French was later called, as the
head Of the family Who should be con-
suited in matter of such importance.
The party stayed in consultation IN
til midnight, Scott insisting that YOut-
zey should confess and make himself
rich, While the others listened passive
iy, and then replied:
1outzey has told all he knows and
can say nothing more"
Scott dwelt on the point that Culton
would confess the next day, and unless
Youtzey got in his story first the other
man would get away with the money,
but neither Witherspo0n nor French
would accede to the request for Scott
TO go to Frankfort and advise Youtzey
TO tell a story which would hang Tay-
Tor and damage the Republican party.
Scott said YOutzey would have to
leave the state because of the feeling
aroused, but that he would have money
to sWeeten his exile. The story was
told freely on the streets today and it
was further stated that Scott had as
sured WitherspOon and French that
they would be further communicated
with before any attempt should be
made to arrest YOutZey The report of
this arrest was, therefore. a. surprise.

sEormer Said to Be Considering
Scheme For Making Increase In
It's Navy.

London, March 2e.-The Evening
News publishes dispatch from Kobe,
Japan, announcing that Russia has
demanded leave to land troops near
Mazanpho. Korea, the dispatch says
wants no outside interference.
Yokohama, March 3O.-M. Pavloff,
Russian minister TO Korea, is pressing
his demands at Seoul, and the Japan
csc minister to Korea, Nayashi GonzOu-
kee, is discussing the subject with him.
London, March 3O-The London gov
eminent, according to a dispatch to
the Times from st. Petersburg, is con-
sidering a scheme for large increase
in the Russian navy.
The Yokohama correspondent of the
Times says: "Tt is feared that other
powers will follow RuSsia's example in
demanding lease of territory near
Masampo."
London, March 2s.-The British gov
eminent has not received any news
tending to confirm the advices from
Japan as to Russian designs in Korea,
and is inclined to doubt their accuracy.
The premier, Lord Salisbury, il IS
learned, apprehends no possibility of
an immediate rupture between Japan
and Russia, and whatever may be done
in the future regarding the disturb
ances around Tien Tsin, it is learned
that no steps have yet been taken
looking to concerted action on the part
Of the powers, nor is any indication
that official circles regard the situation
in China as serious as it is made out
in the press dispatches. From all
sources of information available to the
British foreign Office, il is judged that
Japan neither desires nor is in any way
near ready to dispute with hostilities
Russian action in the far east.
Paris, March S0.-The Gaulols, in an
article discussing the eventuality of a
Russo-Japanese conflict says: 1T is
not likely that Great Britain will in
terfere, being too much occupied in the
Transvaal and watching her frontiers.
Japan, therefore, viii be left alone, no
other European power being interested
in aiding her, and the United States,
with whom she sympathiZes more than
any other nation, having its attention

the next moment was struck in the
back. It hit him squarely between the
shoulders, making a slight abrasion.
The man who fired it did not stop to
apologize, yet Mr.. Pratt having never
seen him before, does not believe the
shot was fired maliciously, only to the
extent that Carter did it to show off
before his companions.
Mr.. Pratt came down town in the
afternoon. and wanted a warrant for
Carriers arrest under the city ordi-
nances, but the police referred him to
Mr.. Gunter, who was at headquarters,
with the result stated.
Mr.. Pratt is about so years Of age,
and cousin OF Arthur Pratt.
