A Compromise Agreed To on

Extra Session Legisla-
ture To Be Called.
For Purpose Of Repeating OBJ
noxiOus Law.


Lexington, KY, July 19-Delegates
to the Democratic state convention met
by districts this morning to select mem
bers of the committees for the convention.
Notwithstan ling the attacks made on
the candidacy OF Gov. Beckham, his lines
were as solid as ever today. The opposi-
ton claimed to have made inroads dur
Ing the night, even on the instructed
vote of Gov. Beckham, and declared that
if the convention could be held over an
other day the new departure would
win with one Of the dark horses for
governor. The Beckham men claim,
however, that they have more than
enough to nominate.
After q conference this morning in
Senator Blackburn room at which GOV.
Beckham was represented, it was agreed
to recommend an early session of the leg
islavure for the purpose of amending the
Goebel law. The result Of this conference
has relieved the Beckham men from en-
barrassment over the only plank in the
platform that was in dispute.
The opposition insist that the conces-
sion indicates weakness and was still de-
ternined to dispute every motion of the
Beckhamites in the convention.
The Beckham men claimed to have or
ganized at least seven of the eleven con-
gressional districts, with two IN doubt.
A portrait of the late G ov. William Goe-
bel, hanging over the platform, was un-
veiled at 2.15 and caused an enthusiastic
demonstration.
Chairman Young OF the state central
committee. called the convention to or
der and called for nominations for tenn
porary chairman. Judge J. \. Robbins
and r. Frank peake We're presented.
There were disputes as to the announce
ments Of the votes. Before the result of
the ballot was announced, but not until
All the 119 counties had been called, the
name of Peake was Withdrawn and
Robbins was selected as chairman by ac-
clamation. The actual ballot was: Rob
bins, 646; Peake, 426. This result was
greeted with a great demonstration by
the Beckham men.
Judge Robbins was escorted to the plat
form and spoke at some length. After
the usual committees had been appoint
ed, the convention took a recess until 8. 80
p m.
The convention assembled at nine and
at midnight was in session. 1t was then
announced that neither the resolution or
credentials committee would report to-
night.

THE LAWS DELAY.
Judge Laoombe Wants More Evidence
Begcre Granting Neely's Extradition.


New York, July 19.--Judge Lacombe Of
the u. S. circuit court, today rendered an
opinion in the case of Charles w +.
Neely, charged with having defrauded
the United States postal department in
Cuba, in which he declared that the mere
presentation of an Indictment cannot be
held sufficient for Neely's extradition
and that further testimony will be heard
when the case comes up on July 28.
After complaining ol delay of counsel
in presenting briefs and stating that the
action is brought under a recent amend
ment of the United States Revised Sta
tutes known as the act OF June 6, 1900
Judge Lacombe gives the provisions
adopted as to extradition and says:
The mere fact that the individual who
has committed a crime in a foreign coun-
try is himself citizen OF the United
States, does not prevent the United States
from returning him to the country
against whose laws he has offended.
''The joint resolution of April 1s, 1898,
declared that the people of the island of
Cuba are, and Of right, ought to be free
and independent, and this finding as
to their status may be accepted by the
coarts.
Witnesses need not be brought from
Cuba to testify here, but their sworn
statements can certainly be obtained so
that the courts decision may be based
upon competent proofs of facts within
the knowledge of the witnesses.

London, July 20.-The Shanghai corre-
pondent Of the Daily Express, says:
Intense Indignation is felt here at the
honors which the British in Hong Kong
have accorded Iii Hung Chang, who is
looked upon in Shanghai as the origina-
tor of the whole flendish anti-foreign
plot.
A Chinese merchant who has just ar
rived from Pekin gives horrible details
Of the massacre. He says he saw European
women hauled into the street by shout
ing boxers, who stripped them and
hacked them to pieces. Their discovered
limbs were tossed to the crowd and
carried off with howIs of triumph. Some
were already dead having been shot by
foreign civilians.
He says he saw Chinese soldiers carry
ing the bodies of white children aloft on
their spears, while their companions shot
at the bodies. He gives other details, too
horrible to be particularized here.
1t seems that the boxer leaders had or
ganized plan including the offering of
rewards and rich loot for the annihilation
of Europeans throughout China and that
Prince Tuan's generals have been empha-
sizing the opportunity the soldiers have
of selling the bodies of white women.
