BESIEGED FOR "a YEARS.
Gambia Held Out for That Length of
Time.

Snndla Held Out for That Length of
Time.
One of the longest sieges in history
was that of Gambia (Crete). 1t lasted
twenty-four years, and was begun by
the Turks in June. 1645, when they
landed large army, variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000 men.
On September 3. 1863, the town capitu
lated, after siege which is estimated
to have cost the lives of 10000 Chris
tians and nearly 10000 Turks. Con-
stantinople was besieged by either Per-
SLAMS or Turks from A. D. 626 to 675.
From 668 to SIS the Turks repeated
their attacks yearly. The siege of Glib
raltar, attacked by land and sea, lasted
four years. from 1779-17S3. During
the thirty years war Olmutz was be-
sieged from 1642-1648, and was still
held by the Swedes in 1850, when they
gave 1t up in accordance with agree
ment, not compulsion. The siege of
Lucknow furnishes the most famous
example of British garrison holding
out against fearful odds. For eighty
seven days tho slender garrison held
out until relief came This is now
eclipsed by Ladysmith. Herat. In AZ

His Face Not His Fortune.

On one of the northern lines there
was an old gentleman who had tray
eled between the same stations for
years, and was consequently known
by all the porters at the stations. AS
he used a season. he very seldom
carried his ticket. One day an in
spector who was new to the district,
was examining all tickets. Going up
to the old gentleman, he said: "Tick-

TRIAL. OF GALES POWERS.
Doctors and Civil Engineer the First
Witnesses Examined.

GEORGETOWN, KY, July IA. - The
attendance at the trial of ex-Secretary OF
State Caleb Powers, charged with being
an accomplice to the murder of William
Goebel, was smaller than any time since
Monday, when the case was first called.
It was believed that only the civil engi-
neer, who measured the statehouse
grounds at Frankfort. where the crime
occurred, and the doctors who performed
the autopsy on the body OF the victim,
would be put on the stand by the com-
monwealth. The prosecution hoped to
show by these witnesses, by the meas.
urements and drawings, that the fatal
bullet was fired from one Of two front
windows of a room in the executive
building, occupied during his term OF
office by the prisoner, Powers.
The evidence, while bearing directly
upon the case, had small attraction for
the general public.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
Consul GoodenOw's Dispatch Shows
Conditions Are Growing Worse.

Conditions Are Growing Worse.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Consul Gen
eral Goodenow's short dispatch repre-.
sents all that the state or navy depart.
ments know of the developments in
China within the last "a hours. His
news only goes to confirm the general
belief that the situation in China ii
steadily growing worse. The Ho Nan
Shan Shi referred to by Mr.. Goodenow
as the place where the viceroy appears
to favor the Boxers, is said at the state
department to be actually two separate
provinces of vast extent lying in the
western and northern portion of China.
Shan Shi, meaning western island, is
the province lying directly west of Chill,
in which Picking is located. Ho Nan
adjoins Shan Shi on the south.
The two might present an almost ina.
passible barrier if, as Mr.. Goodenow's
dispatch indicates, they are disaffected
and undertake to oppose the northward
march Of the armies of Ii Hung Chang
and the other great southern viceroys To
Picking.
No confirmation has reached the state
departments or the report from ST. Re-
tersburg of the torture and death of the
Russian minister at Picking. DR.. Won
Holleben, the German ambassador,
called upon Secretary Hay, but stated
that he had no information touching the
Chinese situation.
A rumor was af1oat during the morn
ing to the effect that certain interviews
attributed to the Chinese Eainister here,
Mr. WI, had attracted official attention
and might be made the subject Of rep.
reservations to him by the state depart.
ment 1t is understood that nothing
has yet been done in that direction,
however, and it is believed that the in
terviews may be ignored officially in
view of the realization on the part Of the
officials that the minister is under high
nervous tension.
