Georgetown, Ky, October S.-The Youtsey trial began in reality today, and remark able progress was made once the examina- tion of witnesses began. The jury will be taken to Frankfort tomorrow morning to view the scene of the tragedy, s.S will not return before 3 o'clock The most important witnesses today and tonight were I. k. Todd, Frank H. Johnson, J. B. Matthews, timony was circums tantially strong against Youtsey, but his attorneys are confident of disproving any presumption os his par ticipation in the murder. Culton and Golden have yet to testify to Youtsey's talk about steel bullets and his receiving the keyN from John Powers.
 The special venire of fifteen men from Bourbon County were in the court room this morning when the Youtsey trial was called in the Circuit Court. The first man called was accepted by both sides, and the jury was complete. The jury was sworn and Attorney V. F. Bradley made the state ment to the jury for the commonwealth.
 Colonel Crawford, for the defense, moved to discharge the jury on the ground of, first, that the jury Is not composed of by- islanders, but summoned from remote parts of the county; second, that the jurymen are all Democrats, and as the crime charged in- wolves politics to large extent, the de- fendant cannot expect a fair and impartial trial from such jury
 Youtsey filed two affidavits in support of the motion.
 Judge Cantrill said: "The main question was whether the venire was summoned from the main body of the county There were forty-sx jurors drawn from the wheel who lived in or near Georgetown and from jurors summoned. The complexion of the jury politically has nothing to do with

ENGLISH ELECTION
Returns from County Precincts" Fa-
 vor the Liberals

London, October 9.-Only four results out of the twenty-one constituencies polled yes- terday in the Parliamentary general cleo ton have been thus tar announced. These show that the Liberals have gained two seats, one in Carmarthanshire. and the other, strangely enough, in the Radcliffe cum-Farnwoeth division of Southeast Lam cashire, which has hitherto gone strongly Conservative. It looks, therefore, as if there might be d slight reaction in the county poolings, but this would be too late to affect the general result seriously.
 Last evening Herbert Henry Asquith, one of the Liberal leaders, admitted that the Salisbury government would return to power with a majority of 150 or 160. Of the 492 members already declared officially elected, the ministerialists number 3H and the opposition 165. The former have gained twenty-three seats and the alter eighteen.
 The Daily Telegraph says it understands that the Cabinet has resigned as a Iormal- ity and in order to enable any necessary reconstruction.

GERMANS WORRIED
Question of Cotton Supply Engages Att
 tention of Manufacturers

Washington, October S.-"If for some req son Germany should be cut off for one year from her cotton supply there would be a crisis of incalculable consequences, says United States Consul Winter, at Amer berg, in a report to the State Department upon the cotton consumption in that coun- try. In order to guard against any possi- ble exigency, the German Colonial Asso- citation, says Consul Winter recently sent petition to the Imperial Chancellor re- questing that every means be used to intro duce cotton growing into the different Ger man colonies where climate and soil favor With the exception of about s17,0O0 worth of cotton grown in one little colony, Ger many is entirely dependent upon the United States and England for this commodity, and she consumes more of it than any na- tion on the continent.
 Germany, France and England" says the consul, have never forgotten the days of the civil war, when their cotton was completely cut off by the blockade of the Southern States"
 There is a tendency, he says, on the part of industries to graytate toward the centers of production-that Is, the United States, England and the East Indies. The shiIting of cotton mills and manufacturers to these points saves time and money, and the problem which now confronts Germa- ny is to insure cotton supply that can be absolutely depended upon in peace or war.

SEVERAL SERIOUSLY INJURED

Chicago, October s.-Bloodshed followed in the trail of Chauncey Depew and his three-mile escort of Republican marching clubs tonight. Just as the last company In line turned the corner of Sedgwick street and Chicago avenue it was charged by an organized gang of men, who had concealed themselves in the dark recesses of an un- lighted alley.
 The rioters were repulsed finally by the marchers, but not until four or five of the Republican marchers had been injured, some of them quite seriously. The most seriously injured were:
 Michael Ball, found on the streets uncon- scious after the struggle; nose broken, eye cut, three teeth knocked out and struck In the head with a brick Taken to hospital
 George Hughes, picked up unconscious, having been struck on the head with paving block; slight confusion of the skull
 Captain Maurice Woolman, struck on the back of the head and stunned.
 Robert Lang, knocked down and injured about the body by being stepped on.
 Many other of the marchers were more or less hurt and their uniforms ruined. The men who precipitated the riot escaped.

TIE YOUTSEY CASE
 HAS GONE TO TRIAL

this defendant, as he Is indicted for mur- der and not for any political offense. I must overrule the notion"
 Crawford filed another motion to require the commonwealth to elect whether it would try Youtsey for actually firing the shot or for aiding and abetting the man who did fire the shot.
 The court said that was matter over which he had no control, and the attorneys could confer concerning it.
 Franklin said the commonwealth simply wished to try Youtsey under the indict- ment and let the jury say whether he fired the shot. The jury was brought in and Bradford filed a demurrer to the indict- ment on the ground that 1t named no one as firing the shot and that 1t did not suf- ficiently describe the offense charged against Youtsey
 The court took the demurrer under ad- vsement during the noon recess. Craw- ford asked to state the case for the de- fense right after the commonwealth stated its case The court ruled that he could do so if the commonwealth did not object
 At the afternoon session Judge Cantrill overruled the demurrer to the indictment, to which the defendant excepted. The com monwealth attorney said he preferred the defense would not make its statement until after the prosecution concluded its direct testimony and it was so ordered.
 The list of the commonwealth witnesses being called showed thirty-seven present and fourteen absent. Seven were present and thirty-three absent for the defense
 After Bradley concluded his statement MT. Nelson asked that the jury view the premises before hearing the testimony. The commonwealth made no objection except 1t asked to introduce two witnesses whose testimony had no bearing as to the loca- tion of the premises. This was agreed to by the defense, but the court said the jury could not be taken to Frankfort until to- morrow morning and that the introduction of testimony must continue until then, though no witness as to the location of the

AT CAIRO
Democratic Candidate Took Another
 Lick at the Trusts

Cairo, Ills, October S.-The whole south of Egypt" was well represented in Cairo when w. J. Bryan arrived here today. There had been excursions from neighbor- ing towns and villages, and the result was a large crowd to welcome the Democratic nominee. His speech was devoted mainly to trusts, although the large standing army and the question of imperialism each re- ceived some attention at his hands Among other things he said:
 '"The Republican party has not fulfilled its promises. It will not do anything of per- manent and lasting advantage to the great majority of the people, and the reason that it is today guided and directed by organized combined wealth is combined wealth de- mands not equal but special provisions, and every provision granted by law to these great combinations is taken from the peo- pie. Whenever you find that few people by operation of law gaining an advan- tage, you may rest assured that advantage Is coming from somebody. The trouble is that the government gathers a little from each person and dumps the whole amount into the daps of d few, and the few re- ceive 1t in large amounts and use the spells evidence of their prosperity, while the little Is collected from each one and the Re- publican party Is forgetting the man from whom 1t collects while 1t takes care of the man who receives. All over this land are the homes of forgotten men, men whose rights are disregarded, men who are neglected be- cause of the demands by combined cap ital We are enemies of honestly acquired wealth. No one who wants to eat the bread that he earns and to earn the bread that he eats, need be afraid of the success of our ticket. The only nan who needs to fear is the man who wants to eat the bread that somebody else earns and wants to eat 1t without paying for 1t.
 "The Republican party promised you an international agreement; 1t brought the gold standard It is now trying to turn the issue of paper money over to national banks so that the banks can issue and

HE ADDRESSED LARGE CROWDS

St. Louis, Mo, October S.-The particular portion of Illinois, known as Egypt" was pretty thoroughly canvassed by William J. Bryan today.

Fourteen addresses were made when the first speech at Salem was delivered until the train bearing the nominee and his party pulled out of Alton at nearly midnight. At every meeting the candidate was greeted with hearty demon- strations, and his remarks were applauded everywhere.
 At East St. Louis MT. Bryan and Cover nor Roosevelt crossed each others paths. As Governor Roosevelt had a meeting there MT Bryan passed through and went on to Alton.

slccum Made Quick Trip

Washington, October S.-The quartermas- ter-general has been informed that the Slocum arrived at San Francisco Saturday night, having made the trip from New York by way of the straits of Magellan in eighty-six days. The Slocum is one of the largest and most powerful tugs in the ser vice of the quartermaster's department. The government was unable to buy a ves- sel of that character on the Pacific, and as a chartered tug would be very circum- scribed in its operations by the rule of the port against carrying passengers, etc., 1t was found necessary to send vessel from New York.

IN A THEATRE
Miners Convention Will be Held at
 Scranton

Scranton, Pa, October S.-The Marchiel, a theater adjoining the district headquar- ters and capable of seating thousand per sons, has been secured for Fridays con- vention of the United Mine Workers
 After the big demonstration on Wednes- day is concluded, the preliminarles of the convention will be arranged.
 The general feeling here is that the 10 per cent. offer will be accepted, and that the matter of substituting a fixed scale for a sliding scale in the lower districts will be left to the affected miners themselves to settle when they come to treat with their respective employers under the provision of the offer guaranteeing adjustment of any grievances the employees may present. The matter of yearly conferences to fix a new scale may also be dealt with in the same manner, each set of employees send ing committee to their employers and then reporting back to convention.

London, October 9-The Shanghai corre- spondent of the Times, wiring October 6 says:
 Tt Is reported that French troops hold Lu Ko Chiu on the Lu Han Railway. The Russians and Germans hold the Pei Tang forts and have also taken Tong Shan and the, Kai Ping mines, thus monopolizing the coal supply in north China.
 Tt was expected that Count von Walder- see would maintain even balance be- tween the powers, whereas the actual re- suit ot operations places all the strategeto positions in the hands of other nations A strong feeling prevails that the situation is daily becoming more gloomy"
