A check from Charles Finley to the

Frankfort was produced by Black in re-
sponse to a question from the prosecu-
tion.
w H. Culton, who is under indictment
as an accessory to the killing of Governor
Goebel, was called next.
Counsel for the defence raised a point
against the competency of Culton as
witness, he being under indictment along
with Powers and others as a co-conspira-
tor and not having been tried. The jury
was excluded during the argument of the
point.
Judge Cantrill ruled that while at COM
mon law Culton could not testify, that
rule was abrogated under the law of this
State and that Culton is competent wit
ness, the right to testify being a personal
privilege. The court instructed Cultcn
that he might or might not testify, as
he desired, and if he did so, he was not
compelled to tell anything that would
criminate himself. Cuton replied that
he was testifying of his own free will.
Culton said he attended a conference
at Frankfort in January at which Powers
and others were present and the matter
of bringing mountain men to the State
capital was being discussed.
Hamp Howard, Frank Cecil and other
mountain men were asked by Powers how
many they could bring from Harlan, Bell
and other counties. They promised to
bring from fifty to two hundred men from
each of the counties. Powers said, ac-
cording to the witness, that wnan tra
men arrived at Frankfort they would give
the Democratic Legislators thirty min
utes in which to settle the contests, "and
if they did not settle it in that time, they
would kill everyone of them

Characteristic of the man. His speech

Blackburn's speech all the way through
was one vain effort to deceive and mis-
lead the people in regard to the amend
ment. He was asked by Graves to tell
the people whom he would vote for for
Governor, Spencer Adams or Cy Thomp-
son, but he again and again refused to-
tell His time was extended after he
was through speaking to answer that
question, and his only reply was that he
would vote against Democracy. If Porter

DR.. Parker, of the City Temple, urged
American Christian Endeavorers to nomi-
nate Rev. Francis e. Clark and the Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon for the highest offices
in the United States, as Christian men
should be at the head of things.
The afternoon meeting was devoted to
national rallies, which were characterized
by intense enthusiasm. The immense
crowds in attendance made the grounds
almost impassable and a water famine,
added to the intense heat of the day,
caused many women to faint.
President Clark read a cordial letter
from the United States Ambassador Jo-
seph H. Choate, which was followed by
cheers for the Ambassador.
Sheffield was selected as the meeting
place of the convention in 1901 and Man

Greensboro, N. c., July 1S.-In some
way an impression has gone out over the
State that Guilford county is in bad shape
politically this year, owing to local differ
ences over the dispensary Mr. Fl. E. c.
Bryant, the usually accurate representa-
tive of the Charlotte Observer, sent an
article to his paper recently in which he
declared the result of the election in
August so far as Guilford is concerned to
be doubtful. How Mr.. Bryant could have
arrived at such conclusion is hard to
understand. 1t is true that prior to our
county convention it was thought that
some trouble would result from differ
ences in the party in Greensboro on ac-
count of the dispensary, but that was
all arranged to the satisfaction of the
contending factions. Now all Democrats
are working harmoniously together. The
county candidates are making a splendid
canvass and there is not a shadow of a
doubt as to the result in August.

Canadian mounted infantry, under Lieu
tenant Colonel Anderson, were most gal

peated attempts to assault the posi.ions,
coming in close range and calling to the

fered severely. They had fifteen killed
and fifty wounded, and four were taken

Washington, July 1S.-The buoyant and
hopeful feeling of yesterday as to the
Chinese situation was strengthened today
by the addition of confirmatory dispatch
from Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, touching
the safety of the legationers at Pekin
on July 9th.
OF course it is understood that Mr..
FOwler's information came from the
same fountain head as did Minister Wu's
of yesterday, namely, the famous Yuan
Shh Kai, the military governor of Shan
Tung Province. Because of the very inti-
mate relations that have existed up to
a very recent date between this official
and the imperial court at Pekin. he hav-
ing been commander of the imperial body
guard, there is a disposition here to at
tach more credence to his dispatches than
would be accorded to those of othet Chi
nese officials. This is based on the pre-
sumption that he has no inducement to
falsify the facts.
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
has cabled for warship. His suggestion
was merely precautionary and after con-
sidering it the Navy Department has
withheld action in view of the fact that
the Castine is at that port and foreign
ships are on the way.
There was no Cabinet meeting this
morning, as the advices which reached
the Government over night did not present
change enough in the situation to de-
mand meeting at this time.
