The Man Who Fired the Shot.
The story is published that Golden
has divulged to the attorneys the name
of the man who fired the shots that
killed Governor Goebel. The person
mentioned is a mulatto who formerly
lived az Winchester, was prominent in
the French Eversole feud and is known
as dead shot. This man is now sup
posed to be in the wilds of one of the
mountain counties. Evidence that he
was in Frankfort at the time of the as.
sassination was found among papers
taken from Coulton, a clerk in the
auditors Office, when the latter was ar
rested week or SO ago on warrant
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder. Among these papers
are receipts for board bills amounting
to about $500 incurred by 18 men who
were in Frankfort for some time before
and at the time Goebel was shot. In
one of these receipts the name Of the
mullatto mentioned is given. The re.
ceipt in this case is for money received
from John Perkins by Bettina Pittman
for the board of three men. Perkins is

Indications That the Dutch Repubhcs

mics When England Secures Control.
Salisbury Government Will Appeal to
the Country When the War Is Over.
LONDON, March 21.-While there is
1ull in the military operations the pres.
ent surroundings of the war show inter-
esting developments. The colonial Of
fee has telegraphed to Cape Town the
text of the proclamation concerning the
destruction of property. This will not
be published in London until after its
PRONUNCIATION in South Africa, but it is
known it will convey an intimation
that any wanton destruction of British
property during the war will be re-
garded as warranting claim for com.
pensation and as justifying levy upon
private property should the resources of
the Transvaal republic prove inade-
quate.
The fact that the proclamation is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as significant indication that the re-
pubics will be administered as crown
colonies. In this connection it is un.
derstood that the leaders Of the opposi-
tion in parliament now admit that no
other settlement is possible since the
republics insist upon their demand for
absolute independence. In view Of this
the efforts of the Liberals will be con-
fined to

1t is becoming regarded as quite

ended, as is now hoped, before June

basis of a stated South African policy.
Should the war drag en- dissolution will
be postponed until next spring. In any
event one of the foremost planks Of the
government platform will be army re-
organization.
There is no further information as to
the movements of Sir Alfred Miner. It
is regarded as certain, however, that he
has gone to Bloemfontein to arrange
for the temporary administration of the

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
HAS 6RYAN's APPROVAL.

Desires to Stand If Named for the Presi.
dency - Democrats and Populists En-.
dorse Him and Send Instructed Dele-
cations to the National Conventions.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 2O.-In effect
William J. Bryan has announced to the
Democratic party and to the nation at
large the platform which he considers
best for the Democratic party and prac-
tically upon which he desires to stand
If nominated at the Kansas City con-
vention.
The platform, which was adopted by
the Nebraska Democracy with the
greatest enthusiasm, reaffirms the Chi
cago platform, declares for 16 to 1, op-
poses a large standing army, denounces
the action Of the Republican party on
the Porto Rico tariff bill, declares
against trusts and imperialism" and
favors the choice Of United States sena-
tors by popular vote.
The platform is practically the crea-
ton Of Mr.. Bryan. He did not write it
personally, but he was consulted con-
corning it and before it was read to the
convention he had approved of it
throughout.
Populist Platform Does Not Conflict.
The platform adopted by the Popuist
convention was substantially the same
as that adopted by the Democrats. It
differs in form, but conflicts in no es.
sential point.
Both conventions were enthusiastic
for Bryan to the last degree and every
mention of his namo was greeted with
cheers of delight and approval. In
structions were given to both delega-
tions to stand for Mr.. Bryan in the
Kansas City and Sioux Falls conven-
tions.
Just previous to the adjournment of
the Democratic convention Mr.. Bryan
appeared in the hall and was enthusias-
tically welcomed. He was invited to
address the convention and spoke at
some length on the money question,
trusts and imperialism.
