THE KENTUCKY PLOT.
Wharton Golden duplicates Number of

Leu'ding Republicans.
Frankfort, KY, March 25-"John
: Powers told me they had two niggers
here to kill Goebel. They were Herker
Smith and Dick Coombs."
This statement was made yesterday
by Wharton Golden, a frail. consump-
tive looking kentucky mountaineer,
while on the witness stand in the pre-
liminary examination of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with con-
spiracy to kill Goebel. ,~ty ~
Golden told a story of the events
leading up to the murder that, If sub
stantiated, will, in the minds of those
connected with the prosecution at
least, probably go far toward proving
the contentious of the commonwealth
that the murder was the result of
plan in which several prominent men
were involved.
Frankfort. March 25.-Whether the
defense will seek to impeach Golden's
testimony in this preliminary eXamina-
ton is not known, as the attorneys for
the defense will not talk on the sub
ject. but unless such attempt is made,
the commonwealth will rest its case.
both County Attorney Polsgrove and
Attorney Campbell being satisfied that
enough evidence has been presented to
hold the defendant on the charges.
Golden, who claims to have been
friend of Secretary Powers and his
brother, John Powers, for years, gave
testimony that was particularly dam
aging to John Powers, but he also
brought in the names of many others,
including Charles Finley, w. II. Cul-
ton and Governor Taylor, in his story
of the bringing of the mountaineers
to Frankfort previous to the assassin
alton. Governor Taylor, however, was
not directly implicated. and the at
torneys for the commonwealth init
mated to-day that they do not expect
to have his name brought forth prom
inently in the story of the alleged con-
spiracy.

The world, wholly immersed in the
South African conflict and its moment

the threatening conditions which the
thinned British garrisons in India are
called upon to face at this juncture,
and the harassing anxieties which be-
set them. Private correspondents de-
scribe the natives as following the
progress of the war in South Africa
with keenest watching like

Human science owes many a debt.
especially on the practical side. to the
instinct Of the lower animals. One Of
these obligations is intimated in a re-
cent scientific review of the subject of
dams. Engineers frequently build
dams straight across streams, the OBJ
ject being, in some cases, to save ex-
pense by sparina material. But the
beaver arches his dam against the cur
rent, and experience has shown that
this form of dam IS best to resist floods
and the impact of floating ice. Acting
upon the knowledge which is instinc-
tive with the beaver. and which hu-
man calculation approves, the grea.
Bear Valley dam in California and
some other recently constructed dams
have been SO raade that their stability
largely depe.-is upon the resistance
which their arched form presents.

An extended popular plebiscite on

result placed Robinson Crusoe" at the
head of the list by nine-tenths vote,
while Hans Andersen's Tales" stood

third. Such is the expression of what

to include the church and rectory un-

is the first time such a thing has been
attempted in that city and perhaps
anywhere. The entire building will
cost $4,000. The front of the struc-
ture will be the rectory, with the
church at the back. The entrance to
the church will be through and under

American Steel on the clyde.
Lady Edith.

The latest invasion by American
manufacturers to excite Great Britain
is that of the makers of steel plates
for the sheathing of ships. The Lon
don Financial Times says that Clyde
s~hipbuilders are now making contracts
with American makers at as low a
price as &c lis per ton. as against
98 Is sd asked by the British manu-
facturers. With such prices as these,
it is said to be impossible for the Brit
ish to compete, AMI the Americans are
said to have taken orders for 40, 900
tons. Just at this time the Clyde steel
workmen have made a demand for a
fifty-three hours week, which is being
resisted by their employers. Any ces-
saIion of the supply Of British steel for
the shIppuilders would naturally in
crease the market for the American
product. The London Financial Times
ascribes the lower American price to
natural advantages, such as cheaper
coal and iron.
