THE KENTUCKY TRIAL.
The Prosecution VIII Not Allow Di
rest Evidence as to the Shot
To Come Ont I'm the Case Now Pend
ing Against Powers-Direct Evil
dence Will Close the Latter Part
OF the Week.

GEORGETOWN, KY. July 22.-The
Powers murder conspiracy trial will
be resumed tomorrow. 1t is said to-
night that the prosecution will not al
low any of its evidence as to who fired
the shot that killed Goebel to come out
in this trial. Powers is indicted only
as an accessory before the fact, and all
OF the evidence as to the identity of the
assassin is apparently to be held in re-
serve for the trial of Jim Howard, Ber-
ry Howard and others indicted both as
principals and accessories.
The prosecution may close its direct
testimony the latter part of the week.
The lawyers for the defense decline
to say whether the defendant will be
put on the stand. 1t is understood that
neither Youtsey, Davis, Combs nor
Whitaker, who are in Jail here charged
with being accessories, will be allowed
by their attorneys to testify in the
Powers case.
Robert NOakes will resume the stand
tomorrow. He was asked by the de-
Tense to produce in court the muster
rolls of the military company which he
organized at the request of Caleb Pow
ers, and which he says Powers directed
should be made up of mountain des-
peradoes. The defense may offer proof
TO show that the company was not COM
posed of men of that character, as
NoakeS alleges they were

HE OUGHT TO KNOW.

CHICAGO, July 22.-John P. Rob-
erts, of Shanghai, an American civil
engineer, who has spent thirty-eight
years in China, and who left Shanghai
last May, passed through Chicago to-
day on his way to New York to visit
his Old home.
Knowing the Chinese as l do" said
Mr.. Roberts, Il have little doubt but
that all the foreigners In Pekin were
murdered long ago. The government
is weak, and the mob undoubtedly got
the upper hand. know too much
OF what Chinese mobs have done In
the past to doubt that they murdered
the foreigners.
IAN army of 10000 regular troops
is all that Is necessary to take Pekin, :"
he continued. THE stories to the eff
feet that the Chinese have an army of
$4,000 men are ridiculous. There are
not more than 10000 drilled troops in
China. The rest are poorly organized
and poorly armed. If they had modern
arms they would not know how to use
them, and they do not constitute an
effective fighting force

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 22.-Henry C..
Fry, president of the National Glass
Company, announces that one of the
results following the annual conven-
ton of the officials and statesmen of
that company at Chautauqua, will be
the removal of five of the company's
plants from Indiana to the Pittsburg
district The removal will be effect
ed as soon as proper sites can be Sc
cured. Negotiations now pending in
dictate that they will be located in the
Ohio valley near this city. The plants
to be removed are now at Summitville,
Greentown, Dunkirk, Marion and Al
bany, Indiana They will bring to this
section over 5000 workmen. The rea-
sons given by Mr.. Fry for the change
are three-fold First, the supply of nat
ural gas in Indiana is diminishing and
cannot be depended upon; second,
Pittsburg gas is better and should it
fail other fuel is of easy access; third,
the Ohio river provides unusual facili-
ties for reaching the southern markets

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Presi-
dent Mckinley has received what
purports to be a direct appeal
from the Chinese imperial govern
ment to use his good Offices to ex-
tricate that government from the
difficulty and dangerous position
in which 1t has been placed as a
result of the Boxer uprising and
the ensuing hostile attitude of the
great powers. Although the exact
text of the appeal made by the
Emperor Of China to France, as
outlined in the cabinet despatch
of yesterday, has not been made
known here, 1t is believed that the
address to the President Is similar
in terms to that communication.
In our case the communication
was made through Minister WI to
the State Department. Thus far a
final answer has not been returned.
The French government answered
at once, but that answer viii not
serve us. The United States gov
eminent is conscientiously pro-
ceeding upon an entirely
Different Line of Policy
in the treatment of the case. I'm
fortunately the State Department
finds itself alone In this, but never
theless it is convinced that its plan
is the best, and it mas behind 1t the
consoling assurance that at pres
ent all of the European govern
ments have tacitly admitted that
an error was made in the begin
ming in not following the COM
mon sense advice of the United
States naval commander at Taku.
The point of difference between the
State Department and the Euro
pean governments is that the lat
ter are proceeding upon the belief
that all OF the foreign ministers
and missionaries and guards at
Pekin have been killed and insist
upon dealing with the Chinese
government upon that basis, there
by assuming a hostile attitude
that tends to destroy the last
chance OF availing OF
Whatever Friendly Sentiment
may yet exist among the powerful
Chinese Viceroys and the imperial
government itself. Thus the
French reply. as indicated in the
four conditions laid dswn by NJ.
Delcasse yesterday, sets an impos-
sible task for the imperial govern
ment in its present straits, and
tends TO drive il at once to MARE
terms with the Boxers and Prince
Tuans' party.
On the other hand our govern
ment, while not guaranteeing the
ruth OF the adviees from the
Chinese government as TO the
safety OF the foreign ministers, IS
willing 10 accept the statements
temporarily, IN the meantime re-
hitting none Of it's efforts to get
access to Mr.. Conger through the
use OF military force If need be.
BY following out this policy the
State Department argues that it
retains two chances instead of one.
1t may reach Mr. Conger with
troops and it also may secure his
deliyerance TO the friendly Offices
OF some of the powerful Chinese
officials, which the powers are not
likely to obtain for their own peo-
pie by following out their present
policy. It may be stated that the
United States government has nor
and does not intend to relinquish
any part OF its claim for
Compensation and Repanaffsn
in the ultimate settlement. It's POI
sition In that respect. It holds, will
not be affected unfavorabIy by
prosecuting its efforts TO make use
OF the friendly sentiments OF the
Chinese officials. 4 particularly
