YOUTSEY TRIAL.

A Jury was obtained in the Yout-
sey case by having jurors brought
from Bourbon county to George
town.
The trial had progressed rapidly
until Tuesday night, when Mr..
Arthur Geobel was placed on the
stand and began his testimony.
At this moment Youtsey became
wild and frantic, shouting: That's
a lie. l never spoke to that man
i'm my life. There is no blood on
my hands. / never killed Goebel;
all the devils in hell could not kill
him." His mind seemed completely
unbalanced, and four or five stout
men could not control him. His
wife and half-brother, Col. L. ].
Crawford Zone of his attorneys),
tried to quiet him, but without
avail.
After raving for some time and
attempting to reach the witness,
he finally collapsed completely,
was taken to the Jail, again becom-
ing frantic, and was only quieted
when powerful opiates were admin
istered by his physicians.
Since then he has lain in a stupor
and DR.. John A. Lewis, DR.. w. II.
Coffman and DR.. j. A. Karrick say
there is but slight hope of his ever
again recovering consciousness.
His devoted wife is constantly at
his bedside and doing all she can to
bring her husband to conscious
ness. and the assaults of the ghouls
in the newspapers have nearly
broken her down.
The court has seemed determined
to press the trial Notwithstanding
all. and has had the doomed man
brought to the court house and
placed on cot in jury room,
where none but his wife and nurse
are permitted to see him. Mr..
Youtsey was SO low yesterday as to
cause a postponement of his trial
until to-day.

OUR FOREIGN LETTER
Dealing with Commercial and In
dustTial Conditions Abroad.
A Rise i'm the Price of Coal in Aus
traIia and It's Effect on Manufac-
turing Interests There-Other
Interesting Items.

From Australia comes a cry against
a raise in the price of coal by the col
Ris. IN Con, liery prOprietors.
IN A,.t.aI,a 1t is claimed that
it will prove disas-
trous to the manufacturing interests
of the colony. The following clipping
from the Melbourne Argus explains
the situation:
In accordance with an anticipation
expressed at the meeting of the col
liery proprietors of Newcastle on the
goth inst, it has been decided to raise
the price of coal from January next
to S2.67 per ton, instead of $2.43 per
ton, as previously agreed upon. The
advance viii be the substantial one
of y cents per ton, or 371a per cent.
on the present price of $1.94 per ton.
Under the agreement the miners Will
get eight cents per ton of the extra
"a cents now agreed upon. The action
taken by the colliery proprietOrs
must. of necessity, have a far-reach
ing and disastrous effect upon all
those industries in Victoria which de-
pend upon coal for the output of
their various manufactured articles.
At present. the greater part of the
coal for factory purposes imported
from Newcastle to Melbourne costs
about S4.S6 per ton, and the increase
in the price at the pits mouth in
January next will bring the price up
to sos per ton. In view of the
steady increase in the consumption of
coal in Victoria and the additional
factories and workshops which are
everywhere springing into existence
under the stimulus of the approach
ing federatiO of Australia the loss
to Victoria manufacturers will be
very severe, and, in the opinion of ex-
perienced commercial men, many of
the smaller capitalists will be obliged
to close down their works altogether.
During the six months ended June
30, 1900, the quantity of coal import
ed into Victoria was 370,465 tons,
while for the corresponding period of
asst year the quantity was 27O, tons.
The total export of coal for the half
year from New South Wales was
l.3S3.OG0 tons, of which $4,000 went
10 intercolonial ports, while 49S,
went into foreign markets. In con-
sequence of the war and of the great
~ enhanced price of coal in England,
the foreign demand for Newcastle
eoal is increasing, and coal owners
are not obliged to look only to the local
market. But if the price is raised
much more it is contended by compe-
tent authorities that many of the
struggling industries of Victoria will

The German central bureau for pre-

the attention of
the business COM
munity to a new
method lately adopted by the German
government in issuing, "after the
mode of the United States department
of state" special consular reports
upon certain products, trade matters,
or economical questions; which re-
ports-in reply to a line of inter
rogatories or specified instructions
are prepared by German consuls, and
then published and gratuitously dis
tributed by the German government.
Already two special reports have
been issued, one on the Condition of
the carbide and acetylene industry
in Europe. the United States and Ar
gentina," and the other on Foreign
markets for German shoes" The cen
trail bureau and the German press, in
welcoming this new move of their
government in the interests of Ger
man Industries, say that special re-
ports have rendered magnificent serv-
ice to the export trade of the United
States.

A Partisan engineer has recently
finished a plan according to which
the Spanish rail
roads terminating
in Gibraltar will
be connected by means of a tunnel
crossing under the Strait of Gibraltar
with the railroad lines of Morocco.
Several of the men interested in the
scheme are now in Morocco trying to
obtain permission to build a railroad
in that place. Technically, the plan
is not impossible, as it is merely a
question of boring through rock.
Several plans of this nature-for in
stance, the tunnel from Calais to
Dover which fell through owing to
some opposition, the plan to bridge
the Bosphorus, etc.-have recently
gone to pieces, and 1t now remains to
be seen, says Mr.. Monaghan, how far
this scheme will be carried out and to
what extent it will receive the support
of capitalists.

The laying of a third telegraph
cable between the Netherlands and
Engl am from
Zandvoort to Low
pc estoft, was COM
menced recently. The cable com
prises four wires, which will extend
all the way from London to Rotter-
day and Amsterdam. Telegraphing
over these wires will be done by means
of the Hughes apparatuses, and at
busy times with duplex Hughes ap-
paratuses. The cost of construction Of
the cable will be borne by both coun-
tries. The cable, which will be ready
for use in a few days, will greatly
accelerate the telegraph traffic be-

The new connection will also eXpe-
