MISS GOEBEL'S STORY.
An Interesting Phase of the Trial OF
James n. Kellogg.

New York, March 20 when the tria
of James b. Kellogg indicted for grand
larceny and conspiracy in connection
with the E. s. Dean company was re-
sumed to-day before Recorder 6off In part
one Of the general sessions, Mis- Kmily
Goebel was the first witness called.
Miss Goebel Was much agitated and her
replies to questions were made in a voice
interrupted by sobs.
Miss 9oebel told of Kellogg's hAvinR
20 Id TO her that he was EN- pioyed BY Mrs.
w. 8. Dean.
"I heard Kellogg say once" she as
serted, "that he was very much worried
about the business, and that be had been
doing certai things, and II the authori'
ties learned Of them there was no country
he could go to except Brazil, where he
could not be ext radited."
Later, In February. Miss Goebel said
she went to his offios again and Kellogg
told her he did not want her sssn about
the otfioe, that things were going to
smash and she ought to stay away.
After the failure she and Kellogg went
driving In the park, she said. and he ac-
cussd Bernard Of having precipitated the
failure.
"Hs told me-" she said. "that he was
not afraid Of the postal people because he
could hx that. What he meant don't
know"
She told Of going 70 Europe at KEEL
logg's solicitation, and returning In Sep
TENDER. 1897. Miss 0oebel speaking Of a
conversation she had with Kellogg. after
her return from Europe, said:
1--WE quArrslled. He told me he was GO
ing to the psnitentiary sure and told
him that 1t was better place than he
tried to put me. He said to me I've got
that money and I've got 1t planted good
and plenty. took three days trip out
CT town and I've fixed things all right.
I've got the money all right and III do
time before IN give 1t mp. IN go to the
penitentisry for year and then I'll get
out, but III take Sam Keller with me-
Then be wanted me to 60 to lunch with
him and went. We talked things over
and patched up our quarrel"
In reply to questions, Miss Goebel said
that she lived with Kellogg 81 Mrs
James B. Kellogg. She once had hus-
band named 9osbel.
A typewritten paper was Introduced
and Miss Goebel acknowledged the sigma
ture az hsrs. She claimed. however, that
when abe signed it is consisted Of but one
paragraph, being merely q recsipt for
$500. AS 1t now reads, the document
states that she acknowledges the receipt
of $500 received from James B. Kellogg,
obtained by constantly annoying and har.
raising him and as "blood money" and
contained an agreement not to annoy him
further. Miss 1oebel main tained that
these sentences were written in after she
had signed the receipt.
At the afternoon session several officials
OF LEGAL bank were examined, their
testimony establishing the fact that an
opsn account was kept at their house In
the name of Duncan and Keller.

PHI May. Gladstone and Autorraphs.

Phil May was asked why it is that one
occasionally finds some Of his original
drawings on sale, and he replied charac-
teristically: THAT l don't know; they
must be sketches which l have given to
friends and have been sold by them. Ter
rible thought, isn't itS But that is the
only explanation. 1t reminds me of the
Liberal politician l once heard Of. "
"What was thatS' asked the interview
er, ON the alert for good story.
"Oh, 1t was the same sort of thing
only more so. 1t seems this man was an
ardent Liberal-no, there is no political
bias in this story He got into correspond
ence with Mr.. Gladstone, who gave him
some Of his works with his autograph on
the fly leaf Nothing remarkable about
that No, but what was the sequelS That
man went and sold those autograph books
and on the proceeds of the sale he went
down into the country to vote against the
Gladstonian candidatel Cynical sort Of
proceeding, wasn't it?"-Bookman.

Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.

Z
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 4, 1900.
To the Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
ventiOn, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nominal
ton by convention representing no less
n constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and | have there
fore included in the call six electors.

WHEELING TO GO TO TAKU.
DIaIeaIt To Protect the Missionaries at
shantung.

weshins ton, March e0.-The secretary
Of the ravy has received csblsaram
from Admiral Watson stating that the
eunboat wheeling had proceeded to Taku.
She will be relieved by the Corcord about
May 10, and will go ~ usual In the sum-
mer to OunalaskA on the Alaskan coast.
The state department ID In a quandary
10 devise means to render effective pro-
teotion to the American missionaries at
Shantung.
The difficulty lies In the fact that the
missionaries have in most cAses gone as
far as two hundred miles inland, and are
thus beyond reach of any aid that can be
extended from q warship.
Minister Conges's sdvicss show that
the situation Is further complicated by the
fact that the location of the present
troubles Is so far inland as TO make IL
difncult to determine whether or not the
"Boxers" are operating In Shantung or
scrt So the border In Pechiii province,
II the threatened missionaries are In
west Shantupg then further question
arises as 10 who Is ohergsable with their
protection, China or Germany. The
exact extent OF the German sphere OF In
1uenos is not definitely known here.
The Chipsss government has been de-
TERED from attempting to exercise MILL
tary authority In that section by the at
titude OF the German authorities and that
is the reason Of the inability Of the
Pekin government to meet Mr.. ConRsr's
demand for measures against the BOZ
ers."
The German minister at Pekin has In
formed Mr.. Congsr that his governm emit
is willing TO extend to the American
missionaries within the German sphere
of inhuence, the same measure Of protec-
ton az Is accorded to German mission
Rri ee.

killing Captain Baisley on board the
schooner J. b. Van Dusen, in the Bay OF

missioner Bradley. and his second az.
pearance was to face the grand jury. Yes.
terday he was arrsigned before Judge
Putnam on the murder indictment.
The indictment was formidable docu-
msnt, containing six lengthy counts, and
its reading occupied about fifteen min
utes' of Clerk Davis time. During that
period the prisoner was standing In the
dock leaning against the rail and raising
aioft his right hand, as commanded by
the clerk. Messrs. Anthoine and Talbot
the defending attorneys, were In attend
ance and 80 were two stenogrAphers,
who had been called in to record whatever
dialogue should take place bet coun-
sci and the court The stenographers
found very little to do for the arraigu-
ment was purely formal.

had to say In answer to the indictment,
the prisoner replied in clear voice:
"Not guilty" he was Ieoommittsd TO
jail, without bail, and his trisl was set
for Tuesday. May 1st
Maxwell seems TO bear his confinement
lightly, and has added number of
pounds to bis avoirdrpois since he was
first arraigned. He appeared in good hu-
NOR when chatting with Mr.. Anthoine,
bsfore the Indictment was read, and twice
when Clerk Davis stopped in the midst
OF the reading, to moisten his parched
sci and smiled.
