MUSTACHE MAY
SAVE HIS NECK.
Question for the Jury to Decide Is,
Was He Clean shaven the Day
That Goebel Was Killed.
DEFENSE RESTING ITS CASE.
On the Alibi Claimed for Howard.
Defendants Testimony Of
yesterday Unshaken.

FRANKFORT. KY. Sept. 2o.-Did
Jim Howard have mustache on Janu-
ary 30?
On that question in q great measure
depends his liberty, perhaps his life.
The witnesses for the defense, including
the defendant himself, oil state that on
January %. and days before, his face
was clean shaven. Bowman Gaines,
Ben Rake and James T. Bailey, who
have Identified Howard as the man
they saw on the 3Oth OF January swear
that he had a. mustache.
There goes Jim Howard clean shaw
en- and better dressed than any man In
town. II he Keeps on that way he will
never be able to prove that he is a
fool"
Parker Made the Remark.
According to his testimony. to-day. ex-
State Senator Edward Parker made
that remark in London. on January 20.
where he saw Howard on the streets.
Parker explained that the reason he
had said this was that Howard was
then at London to appear for trial for
the murder Of George Baker and his
plea was to be insanity.
The defense is resting its case on the
alibi claimed for Howard, and Is not
paying any attention to the claim Of
the prosecution that the shot came
from the secretary of states Office and
other collateral matters that figured
largely in the trial of Caleb Powers.

/ IaKu.
| The fact that the admiral's message is
dated at Chefu warrants the supposition
that telegraphic communication has been
restored between that point and Taku
where the foreign fleet lies. There is
however, possibility that the admiral
could get dispatch across from Taku
to Chefu on the same date by pushing
the Yorktown, which has been used as q
dispatch boat.
Admiral Kempffs news has added to
the depression in official quarters.
Admiral Remey is pushing the Brook
lyn with all dispatch toward Taku, and,
as reported above, he cables that he will
sail from Hongkong northward at once.
His main care will be to arrive at Taku
with full bunkers, thus making sure that
the Brooklyn will be ready for any serv-
ice required when she reaches that point !;
hence his purpose is to stop at Nagasaki,
Japan.
The stop there will also enable the
navy department to change his orders by
direct cable communication in case the
conditions change during the Brooklyn's
five days run to Nagasaki so as to make
1t necessary to do so. This port is scarce
ly out of the route between Hongkong
and Taku, so there will be practically
no loss of time involved in entering Ma
gasaki.
None of the members who were present
at the cabinet meeting could see the
least change for the better in the Chinese
situation. Secretary Hay was not pres
ent, nor was Secretary Gage, but the
other members said that nothing had
been heard from the ministers stationed
at Peking. and this fact was causing the
greatest alarm for their safety.
1t was stated that every possible effort
was being made to secure intelligence of
their whereabouts, but UP to this time
without results. No additional troops, it
was said, had been ordered to China, but
matters were being put in shape to meet
any emergency that might arise. When
the cabinet meeting broke up, there could
be no doubt that the members shared the
general depression at the lack of news
from Minister Conger.

BRIsTow REPORTS.
Won't Say Whether More Arrests
Will Be Made In Havana

Will ne hHue IN havana.
Washington, June 29.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow, who
has just returned to Washington from
Cuba, had conference lasting two hours
with the postmaster general He made
an informal report on the investigation
of Cuban postal affairs, which he has
been conducting, and gave his views in
regard to the developments. General
Bristow will submit a written report as
soon as practicable, but 1t will require
several days to complete it. In the mean.
time he declines to discuss any of the
facts to be incorporated in this document.
The investigation has been practically
completed, but exact data will not be had
until the inspection of every office in the
island is finished and reorganization eff.
fected where it is found desirable. This
work probably will be completed within
month by the eight inspectors now in
Cuba.
General Bristow said he knew of nc
specific case where an American in
charge Of an office has failed to carry out
his instructions that the Cuban assist,
ants shall be taught as speedily as possi.
BILE to take entire charge of the office
IT, as has been asserted, the Americans
nave Ialieo 10 properly instruct the Gu
bans, with the intention of retaining the
Offices themselves, General Bristow said
that the remedy was simple and would be
applied.
AS to the length of time Inspector Eos
ness will act as director of posts and who
his successor will be Mr.. Bristow said the
postmaster general had entire control oi
that subject. General Bristow declineG
to say whether or not any further arrests
are contemplated in connection with the
investigation.
After the conference with the postmas
ter general Mr.. Bristow had half in
hours conversation with Secretary Dick
of the national Republican committee
who was one Of the first to call at the |
office of the fourth assistant. Inspector
who has been assisting in the
Cuban investigation, has returned with
General Bristow.

WHAT LONDON THINKS.
Relieves the Legationers Have Been
Kept Safely In PeISing.

| London, June 29-The fact that q
large international force is on its way Ia
Peking is taken in London to mean that
the commanders at Taku and Tien-tsin
consider some one Mt the capital stands
III need Of relief so it is accepted as sup
porting the hope that the legations have
been kept in safety there. But it is i'm
possible to dcduce satisfactory CON
cluslon from the absolutely antagonistic
telegrainS, the most contradictory of
which appear to emanate from the same
source, the vicerOy of Nankin. The vice.
roy's strange report that the ministers
were arranging peace terms remains un-
explained.
The general tenor of the news is re.
garded as showing the ferment may be
cooling and that the Chinese government
is possibly preparing to disavow the pro.
moters of the outbreak.
Hongkong reports that the yiceroy OF
Kwangsi province has called out the
militia for service in case of emergency.
The householders are being compelled to
pay for the cost of the mobilization.
In the house of commons the parlia-
mentary secretary Of the foreign office,
Mr. William st. John Brodrick, an
nounced that the British losses with Vice
Admiral Seymour's force, which, with
the rest of the relief force, had returned
to Tien-tsin June 26, were:
Killed, Captain Herbert W. III. Beyts
(ROyal marines) and "a men; wounded, Z
officers and 81 men.
Mr. Brodrick added that the return of
the foreign casualties was incomplete,
but the total was supposed to be 81 men
killed and 212 men wounded.
In conclusion Mr.. Brodrick said that
the most recent reports which had reach
ed the government pointed to the lega-
tiones being still at Peking.
According to a dispatch from Yoko-
hama, divided opinions were expressed at
the meeting of the japanese cabinet. The
ministers of war and marine and their
supports urged that Japan should under
take the suppression of the rebels in
China, while another section contended
THAT Japan ought to confine her efforts to
the protection of foreigners.
Advices from st. Petersburg report abb
norMal activity in naval circles. The
reserve, it appears, is about to be called
out, and ten torpedo boats are being pre-
pared for immediate dispatch to re-en-
force the Russian Pacific squadron.
Since the receipt of Admiral Bende-
mann uispdtcn, announcing tne arrival
of the legationers at Tien-tsin with Ad-
miral Seymour, the foreign Office at Ber-
lin has received no further information
either way. While admitting the possi-
bility that Admiral Bendemann was mis-
informed, the foreign Office assumes the
correctness of his dispatch until the con-
trary is proved. 1t admits, however,
that it is very singular that the other
nouers have not recaiyed news sImiIar to
that cabled by Admiral Bendemann.

SERIOUS FIRE AT PITTSBURG.
One Fireman Killed and Eleven 9th
ers Badly Injured.

Pittsburg, June 2y.-One fireman was
killed and IL were injured. and nearly
100000 worth of property was destroyed
in fire that broke out in the machine
shop of the Best Manufacturing COM
pany on Twenty-fifth street. The fire,
man who was killed was David Williams
of No. Is engine company. He was
crushed to death by falling walls. The
flames spread so rapidly that in less than
half hour the entire plant. four stories
high and 100 feet square, was burning.
The firemen were injured by falling
walls. They were standing on a FIRE es-
cape on the side Of the building. They
had two streams&6f hose out and were
playing on the fire when suddenly the
walls began to topple and in spite of the
shouts of warning given, the men were
caught and carried to the ground by the
masses of brick and timbers which fell
as the wall collapsed
One or two of the firemen jumped, but
even they were struck and cut by the
falling bricks and timbers. Williams
was taken out dead from under mass
of brick and stone. His head was badly
crushed, and he was otherwise cut and
mangled. Six of the others were SO bad
ly injured that they We're removed to the
West Penn hospital.
The property destroyed was valued at
100000 and the stock of patterns and
machinery probably 100000 more. Many
of the patterns cannot be replaced. The
company manufactured pipe fittings and
valves.
About $50 men will be thrown out of
employment by the fire. The insurance
will fully cover the loss. The origin of
the fire is mystery. The fire rendered
three families homeless, the walls of the
burned building making it unsafe for
them to remain in the house.

NJ CALAIS GOOD WORK
Share Taken by Americans In Relief
of Seymour.
ALLIES WERE WITHOUT FOOD
the Newark's Captain Had Taken
Two Weeks Supplies For His
Men and Divided 1t With
Starving Troops.

New York, June 29.-Frederick Palm.
er, the special correspondent of The
v orld, has sent the following cable to
his paper, dated Chefu, June 20:
The foreign ENJOYS are not with Ad-
miral Seymour's broken force at Tien-
tsin. The report that they were with the
admiral was started by the Russians and
was absolutely unfounded.
The main hope for the safety of the
legations is in the discretion or fear of
reprsals of the Chinese government.
They will, it is believed here, be protect
ed until relieved by the allied forces or
held as hostages by the empress dowager.
The baffied relief force never reached
Pekins and is now back in Tien-tsin,
terribly fatigued and with many sick and
wounded.
1T was due to Captain McCalla of the
Newark, who is in command of the $50
United States marines with Admiral Sey-
mour, that the relief force was enabled
to reach Tien-tsin at all. On landing
Captain McCalla took two weeks sup
plies for his men, whereas the allies had
only five days stores.
Gave Food to Allies.
when the rations of the others were
exhausted, Captain NIcCalla distributed
his surplus supplies among the allies and
actually STAYED off starvation. 1t is free
ly admitted that this action on the part
OF the American was a most important
element i'll saving Seymour's force"
Colonel Sestelle, with a force of 10000
allies, is now marching on Peking to
rescue the legations if they are there.
rms little army faces a horde of 10000
Chinese, which is rapidly being re-en-
forced. The Chinese have many modern
rapid fire guns and are strongly in
trenched along the line of march to the
Chinese capital.
Admiral Kempff's refusal to join in
the demand for the surrender of the
Taku forts is regarded by Americans
here as having been the best course to
pursue, and the wisdom of his decision
Is now evident, having induced the CON
clusion Of the allied admirals not to
arouse the Chinese by harsh measures at
any other ports.
Lieutenant Jane of the United States
flagship Newark, with handful of ma
rines, has gone on an armed tugboat on q
hazardous expedition up the Pei-Ho river
to ascertain how far it is navigable for
war vessels of light draft. He has not |
yet returned
Relations between the representatives
of the nations here are becoming strain
ed, owing to the opposition by the Rus |
slams to the preponderance of the forces |
Of any other power and particularly to
the landing of more Japanese.

United States cavalry, who a year ago
started from Cook Inlet with a small
command and crossed hitherto unpene-
trated country, leading for hundreds of
miles over mountains, valleys and plains
to the mouth 1.-THE Tanana. The expe-
dition was deserted by the Indian guides,
and for some months fears were enter
tained for the safety of the party, but
on Dec. IL they reached the mouth of
the Tanana, where orders were received
to remain until spring.
The object of the expedition was to
ascertain the feasibility of a route
through Alaska and obtain information
as to the minerals, timber and data of
that section of Alaska between Cook In
let and the Yukon river. For nearly a
year the party was without news from
the outside world

Special to The Sun.

RASSAnt W 1IS ouu.
New York, June 29.-Tom Sharkey is
after return match with his conqueror,
Gus Ruhlin. Despite his decisive defeat
the sailor still believes that he can whip
Ruhlin in another battle, and offers to
wager So, 500 on the result.
Sharkey says that as he gave Rubin a
chance after putting him out in one
round, the Westerner should accord him
the same consideration.
If Rubin does not want to meet him
again, Sharkey is willing to match Bob
Armstrong against the Akron Giant and
bet 81, 800 that Armstrong will win.
Tom O'Rourke attributes Sharkey's de-
feat to too much training. He said yes
