JUDGE LEWIS AND GOV. GAGE.
Seattle Investor Condemns the Cal.
ffOrnfa Governor.

The action of Gov. Gage of California
in calling special session of the legis-
1ature has received the attention of a
San Francisco newspaper. which is de-
voting space to interviews on the subject.
Among them appears the following from
; Judge 3, X, LEWIS one Oh the c most prom
who is we'll known here and has heavily
invested In Seattle realty:
IT think the calling of an extra session
of the legislature wholly unnecessary.
The pretenses set forth in the call are
wholly without foundation and are a
humbug. The central idea of It all is the
hoped-for election of Dan Burns to the
United States senate. Gage deferred the
call until he saw there was no hope of
Quay being seated and that he could not
appoint Burns, and after he was sure
his Mexican friend would be elected. At
the coming election the Republican party
of this county will make no mistake and
will not re-elect any of those who vote
for Burns. Cages action will most likely
make California Democratic next year."

ENGLAND ASKED TO EXPLAIN
ing an American Vessel in Neutral
Waters.

London, May at has been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press that United States Ambassador
Choate has asked Lord Salisbury for
explanations as to the alleged abuse
OF international rights in the case Of
the American ship Sea Witch, which,
according to the statement Of her
commander, Captain Howe, was board
ed by the British warship Wasp with
in the three-mile limit Of Portuguese
territory in East Africa
The American ship Sea Witch left
Walloroo December 3rd and arrived
at Delagoa bay February 18th. She
sailed March 4th for Port Natal Dur
ban) and arrived there March 9Th.
The American ambassadors COM
m~unication TO the premier hardly
amounts to a protest and serious com
plications are not likely to ensue. The
case as transmitted by Secretary Hay
to London consists of the captains al
legation that while the Sea Witch was
off Delagoa bay he signalled to the
Wasp, which was patrolling. and the
of the Sea Witch complains that the
visit reSembled a warlike boarding
party, and that his manifest was ex-
amined against his will when ~palpably
within neutral waters.
If the latter statement is true a
serious offense has been committed by
the Wasp, which will call for an ample
apology from Great Britain; out it is
pointed out that the fact that the Sea
Witch signal!ed the Wasp before the
Wasp noticed her invests the cas- with
a curious uncertainty. Apparently,
both Mr.. Choate and Lord Salisbury
are inclined to believe that there is
some mistake, perhaps on both sides.
The premier has referred the matter
to the admiralty, which has no record
of the occurrence. but has cabled to
South Africa for the WaSp'S version o.
the affair, and it is possible that some
time may elapse before the British re-
ply is ready.
Meantime, the incident does not in
terfere in the slightest with the diplo-
matte cordially existing between the
representatives of the two nations in
tereSted.
Washington, May 3.-Inquiry at the
state department confirms the London
statements as to the nature of the ac-
ton taken by the state department rel
ative to the boarding of the Sea Witch.
Several weeks g the department had
it's first news of this affair in the shape
of a report by cable from the United
States consul at Delagoa bay, Mr..
Hollis, who mentioned the facts
briefly. His statement was forwarded
to Ambassador Choate in London in
order that he might direct the attention
of the British government to the
matter.
Officials here say it has never been
claimed by the British government
that it's warships had the right of
search in Portuguese waters, and it
was felt that in this case, Is in many
others, the issue was only one of fact
respecting the actual distance of the
vessels from the Portuguese shore. If
it should appear that the Sea Witch
was within the three-mile limit, ac-
cording to the state department., then
the explanation would be in order;
otherwise, the British vessel was with
in her rights in boarding.

w. H. CULTON TELLS MORE.
Told by Taylor to Give Youtsey Money
to Get Him Out of the State.

Frankfort, KY, May 3.-W. H. Gull
ton resumed his testimony in the Goe-
bel murder investigation today. He
stated that Governor Taylor author
lied the witness to give Youtsey any
amount of money desired if he would
leave Kentucky.
At a conference in Lexington, the
Sunday before Governor Goebel was
shot, it was decided, he said, that
Representative Henry Berry who had
been unseated a few days before, should
go to the house of representatives
next morning and take his seat and
refuse to give it up Van Meter, his
opponent, was to be in some way pre-
vented from going to the hall that
morning. Caleb Powers, who vas at
the conference, telephoned to Governor
Taylor at, Frankfort two or three
times in regard to the conference.
Culton said he did not know where
Powers or Youtsey were when the shot
that killed Goebel was fired. During
the last talk he had with Youtsey the
latter said the plan to kill Goebel had
been abandoned. Culton had been
asked by Taylor ito ascertain what the
witness in the contest knew, because
he was a lawyer.
To the prosecution CuIton said he

had to any person except his father.
His testimony then ended.
This afternoon Judge Cantrell an
nounced that as the counsel had failed
to agree as to a date for the trials IF
Powers, Youtsey, Whitaker, Davis and
Combs, venued to Scott county, he
would call a special term of the court
in that county to begin the second
Monday in July. Judge Cantrell said
that on the first day of the special
term, all of the cases transferred will
be called and assigned on hearing, but
that it will doubtless be impossible to
finish up more than one Or two Of
them during the term. The ~asSassina-
ton cases. all told. in the opinion of
the lawyers, will string out during the
greater part of the next twelve months.
The most important testimony
brought out this afternoon was that of
two physicians who. assisted in the
autopsy on the body of Goebel. This
had never been made public before.
DR.. T. r. WEIGH, of Jassamine coun-
ty, a state senator, h was also one
of GoebeI's physicians, conducted the
autopsy, assisted by Drs. E. E. Hume
and J.. R Ely. DR.. WEIGH gave long
technical statements about the bullet
entering the right side and the pass
ing out on the left.
DR.. WoodSon, the civil engineer, who
made the measurements in the state
house yard, exhibited a may of hat
vicinity to show that the shot was fired
from a window in the secretary of
states office. The bullet which was
cut off the tree near where Goebel fell
and which is supposed TO have passed
through his body was produced in
curt.
