Dover, Aug. S--When It became
known to-day that Dr. Caleb X. lay

Congress, merely as amatior OF conven-

tremely indignant. ID. Miflin Wilson

Substantially the same thing is report

This is a new turn OF affairs. Neither
Or. Layton nor the mass of Addicks
followers knew that this was the course
mapped cat by the Addicks lieutenantG.
Il was kent quiet, as 70 was not deemed
lhe most desirable thing for the gas

should not know it. He has since
heard IL and there are fears in the Ad-
dicks ranks that he will request that

The feeling here is that the conven-
ton Monday was a bluff: that the Adj

although the ticket may stand, that q

when the ticket as IT, is now. will be
endorsed, thereby making 1t legal.
II was reported here to-day that in
some of the Sussex county districts

Georgetown, Ky, Aug. S.-Yester-
days session Of the trial Of former
Secretary of State Caleb Powers de-
veloped the fact that both sides in the
case win deal extensively in contradic-
tion and impeachment Of witnesses.
The most important testimony heard
yesterday was given by Corporal Milt
Trasper, of the Barbourville company,
OF which John Powers was captain.
Trasper testified that the shot which
killed Governor Goebel was fired from
the third story Of the executive build
ing. and not from the secretary's Office,
which is on the first floor Trasper de-
clared he saw the window raised and
saw the smoke from the explosion, but
did not see the gun or the person who
fired ii.
State Senator George B. Alexander,
Of Louisville, testified as follows:
II was in Governor Taylor's private
Office talking to him when the shooting
occurred. There was one shot, sharp
and loud and four others which were
dull and muffled. I got up and ran out
of the Office and stood behind a tree

DIV ART IN NOT
FOR PARTY UNITY
Tells Republican Committee
That He Cannot Act
for AddickSiteS

In the rooms of tho Young Mems Re-
publican Club this afternoon the Re
publican County Committee is In scs-
sion.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting Of the body to make overtures
to the Addicksites for common primaries
in this county, met at 1.30 o'clock and
received the report of a subcommittee,
OF which Richard c. buckingham was
chairman. He reported that he had
called on S. Frank Ewart, chairman Of
the Addicks County Committee and
made the proposition that they go into
common primaries in this county but
Mr.. Ewart positively declined, unless
the Republicans would agree to har-
mony on the state ticket and on the
county ticket in Kent and Sussex. Mr..
further reported that later
he wrote to Mr.. Ewart requesting him
to reduce his answer to writing. In
response to that request Mr.. Ewart
wrote letter in which he practically
ignored his former declaration, and
told Mr.. Buckingham that he could give
no answer to the proposition Of the Re
publicans until the Addicks County
Committee should meet and he lay the
matter before it.

Washington, Aug s.-Miss Margaret
Astor Chanlor. OF New York, has for
warded from Manila to the secretary
Of war g seyare criticism Of the army's
medical system IN the Philippines, az
leging that there Is a lack Of surgeons,
lack Of nurses, lack OF medical sup
plies, including such articles as sheets,
and asking that She be allowed 500
sheets for emergency distribution "A
copy Of Miss Chanler's criticism has
been fOrwerded to Mrs. Cowles, the
sister Of Governor Roosevelt, and to
several officials and individuals of
prominence. Secretary Root referred
Miss Chanler's letter to Surgeon Cen
eral sternberg. who has been making
a thorough INJURY into the various
points raised. He yesterday submitted
to Mr.. Root what is regarded as a com
plete refutation Of the arraignment OF
the medical service in general and OF
the specific points of arraignment
made by Miss Chanler.
The correspondence has not been
given out, but it is understood to be
of rather spirited character. From
the standpoint of the medical officials
here, Miss Chanler's criticism loses
much of its force from the fact that
It was written only two days after she
arrived at Manila. The records OF
the war department have been brought
forward to show that many Of Miss
Chanler's specific charges lack ground.
