RIPLEY TO GO ON THE STAND.
NTessrs. Bradley and YOst stand by
Their Statements-TOId More TO
Grand Jury Than on stand.

Frankfort, KY. April 1.-THE trial of
Garnett D. Ripley as an alleged conspira-
tor in the murder of Goebel will be re-
sumed az noon tomorrow. The defendant
himself viii be the first witness for the
defense. Ex-Gov. Bradley and Judge W
II. Yost could not be seen to-day, but 1t
is known that they have -reaffirmed their
statements, and they say that Ripley did
not accompany his statements with any
such explanation as Attorney O'Neal gave
yesterday in outlining the case for the
defense. There is a report that both
Bradley and Yost. in their testimony be-
fore the grand jury, told much more than
they did on the stand last week. The
prosecution asked them questions bearing
on only the one point, and the defense
did not cross-examine them.

Pekin. April 14.-Prince Ching says that
oil his reports go to show that the mis-

Ministers Responsible for Delay.
The conduct of the ministers of the
Powers over the negotiations with the
Chinese pienipotentiaries au e s
mucn adverse comment among
the military authorities. Their
dlatory tactics have presented what
might have been accomplished two months
ago Even now the meetings of the min
listers are postponed for the most trivial
causes. For instance, the desire of one
minister to 90 ON a picnic TO the tombs
OF the Ming dynasty prevented the hold
ing OF meeting for number of days.
MI' DE Giers and other ministers insist
ed upon celebrating Easter, and thus a
week was consumed. In third case an

A baltimore Murder.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 3.-Wm.
Glenn Taylor, of Washington, shot and
killed his stepmother, Mrs. Marion
Porter Scott Taylor, in the rooms of
the latter's son, on North Calvert
street, this city, this afternoon.
Taylor had been drinking, and he
shot the woman Immediately upon en-
tering the room. Other members Of
the family were present. Taylor then
disappeared to the street and at a late
hour tonight is still at large.
Jealousy of his stepmother because Of
her influence over his father. and dis
satisfaction about money matters, is
thought to have been the cause of the
killing.

LONDON, March ACCORDING to
the Tien Tsin correspondent OF the
Standard, wiring FRIDAY, Count Won
Waldersee has issued renewed orders
to the allied forces to hold themselves
in readiness for a possible expedition
March 7th.
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Standard says it IS reported there that
Prince Chuang has been strangled.
According to the same authority Gen.
Yuan Shan Kai's body guard, with
transport, will leave Wednesday for
the province of Ho Nan to escort the
Emperor to Pekin.
Japan has notified China" says the
Pekin correspondent Of the Times, wiz
ing yesterday, that, in the event OF
Russia being granted any advantages,
territorial or commercial, Japan will
require equivalent advantages.
Although England, Japan, Germany,
Austria, Italy and the United States have
addressed similar academic remonstrances
there is every reason to believe China will
sign the Russian convention in full, Rus
STA having formally intimated that the
terms are irr~evocable. Ii Hung Chang is
so deeply committed to Russia that he is
10 longer a free agent and it is impossi-
BILE for him to evade authorizing sigma
ture.
The text of the convention has not
been communicated to any power nor has
any power been able to promise material
assistance in safeguarding China in the
event of her refusal to sign the conven-
ton.

DE WET HAS ESCAPED.

Successfully Crossed the Orange Riv-
err with All His Men.
COLESBERG. Cape Colony. March
1-(Friday)-Fifteen hundred Beers
with whom, it is alleged were Gen De-
Wet and former President Steyn, found
a spot at Lilliefontein, near Colesberg
bridge, where the Orange river widens
and the current is slow and they all
crossed yesterday, both men and horses
by swimming.
LONDON, March 3.-Gen. DeWet lost
heavily in men ard stores by his incur
sion into Cape Colony, but he seems to
have made a clever escape with the
bulk Of his commando. Apparently,
Commandant Hertzog crossed the Or
ange river with him.
Gen. Bruce Hamilton, who was pur-
suing, heard that Gen. DeWet was sur
rounded at Phil;ipston. northwest of
Colesburg. On arriving there he found
the Beers had not been at P~hillipstown
at all, but ha1 doubled back and were
struggling across the river at Coles
berg.
Apparently this Is another instance
of defective intelligence regarding the
doings of the Beers.
The Daily Telegraph has a despatch
from Colesburg dated yesterday which
says:
"Our numerous columns are still
hunting for DeWet. This place is In
a huhub and troops are marching off
in various directions to press the pur-
suit further"

Fishermen Carried Out on Lake Erie
By Ice.
SILVER CREEK, n. Y, March a.
Twenty-one fishermen were carried out
on Lake Erie off Silver creek this after
noon on floating ice, but seventeen of them
were rescued. The other four have prob
ably persisted. Their names are:
Henry Turner.
John George.
James McBratie.
julius Ludwig.
The last seen of the four men they were
still on the ice, but a high wind was
blowing up a big sea and the ice was fast
breaking up. They were about -four
miles out and there was a mile of open
water between them and the shore. When
it was found that the men were cut off
from shore this morning a message was
sent to Dunkirk by the mayor asking for
assistance. A special train was made up
and a party of rescuers brought a boat
on a fiat car. The rescuers worked hero
ically all day. The seventeen who were
rescued were taken off the floating ice
with great difficulty. They said that their
comrades probably persisted, as they were
in Derilous positions.
BUFFALO. N. Y, March 3.-The fire
department. received a message at $50
this afternoon from Silver Creek asking
that the fire tug be sent out to rescue the
fishermen who were cut off from the
shore by the sudden breaking UP of the
ice. The department was forced to refuse
the request, as it was found to be i'm
possible for a boat to make its way
through the heavy ice foe. A high wind
is blowing up the lake and if a boat did
succeed in breaking a hanne it would
be crushed by the heavy seas and masses
of ice.
