CALEB POWERS TRIAL
AFFIDAVIT OF DEFENSE ALLEGING
PREJUDICE OVERRULED.

GEORGETOWN, KY, Oct. S.-The sec
ond trial of ex-Secretary Caleb Powers,
as accessory to the murder of Gov Goe-
bel, began today. Judge Cantrill read the
affidavit filed by the prisoners S attorneys,
setting forth 1.-THE alleged partisanship
of the court that the indge is candi-
date for senator and deeply prejudiced
against the defendant personally as well
as politically etc. &
commemorative Attorney Franklin ar
gued that the affidavit was not within the
law. He said the affidavit was mere
recitation of the prisoners conclusions
and opinions over his alleged inability to
get a fair trial. Col. Campbell delivered
a bitter speech against those who thus
reflected on the court.
Judge Cantrill refused~te vacate the
bench, saying the affidavit should have
been filed before the judge could take
any action in the case. He refused to
discuss. the sections of the affidavit
which related to himself, but denied that
the jury in the former trial had been I'M
fairly chosen.
When court convened, at I 40 clock this
afternoon, two panels of petit jury were
called, and then Mr.. Hendrix, for the
commonwealth, spoke in reply to the mo-
ton made by the defense for a continu-
ance of the case.
Judge Cantrill overruled the motion for
a continuance. Judge Sims, for Powers,
then asked that. the casexbe docketed for
some future day of the term, but Judge
Cantrill overruled the motion also, and
ordered that the witnesses be called.
At $3.50 p. M, court adjourned till tomor-
row, to enable the officers to have all the
witnesses present for the call ordered by
the court. 1t now seems certain that
the case will be tried. It will consume all
of the three weeks session, and night ses-
sions may have to be called.

attacked MORO island, commanding the
entrance to the Port of Tumaco, Sept.
"A. The island had all along been gari-
soned with fewer than 100 troops, well
supplied with arms, ammunition and COM
missary stores, including more than $50
head of cattle and other provisions in pro-
portion.
The landing was effected before day
break by means of canoes Simultaneous
ly the island was stormed from the other
end by the Liberals on the main land
MORO island is surrounded by shallow
sand banks, and the only means of ap-
preaching Tumaco is by the narrow river,
which is within easy range of the island.
STRUCK THE QUITO.
The British steamer Quito, bound from
Guayaquil, Ecuador, for Panama and
stopping at ports between, anchored off
Moro island on the night of Sept. &c, and
weighing anchor at daybreak, started up
the stream toward Tumaco. The Lib
erals fired a shot across her bows. Su-
specting the situation, she Immediately
turned, but rifle shots and one cannon
continued to be fired at her, the former
striking her several times and the latter
once, the ball making hole right through
her above the water line, although the
danger in other respects was slight.
The Quito then steamed to the farther
est point the tide would permit and again
anchored. The firing was now renewed,
but it ceased after a few minutes, the
Liberals having discovered the impru-
dence of their action. 1t is stated that
shortly after the Quito incident became
known the British warship Icarus left
Panama for a destination not made pub
lie, but presumably Tumaco.
The steamship agents have been Off
cially notified not to accept freight for
that port.
The situation on the island is ex-
tremely serious.

M11NER AN ARCH scoUNDREL,
According to DIR. Krause, Indicted
in London for High Treason.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Dr. Krause, the
former governor of Johannesburg, who
was arrested Sept. 2 on the charge of
high treason, was arraigned in the ex-
tradition court at Bow street today and
charged with high treason and incite-
ment to murder. The former charge is
connected with the surrender of johann
nesburg, when, according to the public
prosecutor, Dr. Krause obtained from
Lord Roberts twenty-four hours armis-
tice on the plea that street fighting would
thereby be obviated and utilized the
period in getting all the Boer fighters out
of town and in sending 91S009O to Pre-
toria. After DR.. .Krause had been pa
rolled he went to Europe and applied to
DR.. Leyds, the agent of the. Transvaal
government, for money on account of
those services
The prosecution introduced evidence to
show that DIR. Krause was in communi-
cation with DR.. Cornelius Borecksman,
the public prosecutor Of Johannesburg.

that DR.. krause acted as channel of

Royal Travellers Watch Threshing
Operations in Manitoba.
WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. S.-The Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall and York bade
farewell to the West today and are once
more speeding eastward on their special
train. They will reach the lakes tomor-
row, and on Thursday afternoon will be
in Toronto, where an elaborate pro-
gramme for their reception and enter
tainment has been arranged. The duke
and duchess met again at Poplar Point
this evening. The duchess arrived from
the west in the morning and he came
down from the hunting lodge of Senator
Kirchoffer in the afternoon. Poplar
Point is in the center of the great Mani
toba wheat belt, and an exhibition of
threshing was given for the benefit of
the royal party. A threshing outfit, drawn
by a large traction engine, was brought
into action close to the depot and placed
beside an immense stack of
wheat. The engine was quickly fired and
the thresher put in motion. The duchess
stood very close to the thresher, and
a gust of wind brought the mass of chaff
down upon her head and shoulders. She
raised her parasol in defense and laugh
ingly retreated. The duke reached Pop
lar Point at 3:45 p. m, accompanied by
Lord Mimic, governor general, and others
who had formed his hunting party. He
was very proud of his bag of game and
expressed the greatest pleasure at his
hunting experience. His game was placed
aboard the train and he will have the
hunters pleasure of having birds for his
table shot by himself.
The royal party reached Winnipeg at 5:16
and made a stop of half an hour, during
which the duke and duchess visited the
flour mills. A crowd of several thousand
gathered about the depot and cheered the
royal couple as they left their car, and
again when they returned.

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-Horrible stories
of murder and rapine are contained in
the records of a number of court-mar-
tial cases in the Philippine islands, cop
les of which, however, have reached the
war department.
Five natives seized, bound and car
ried from their homes, three Filipino
residents of the town of Pozorrubio, to-
gether with an Igorote harvester named
Quivas. Conveying these captives to
an isolated spot they murdered them
with bolos and added to the horror of
their crime by raping the women of the
families of their victims. The motive for
the deed appeared to have been revenge
on the part of one of the murderers, be-
cause of the fact that the victims had
damned a stream which diverted irriga-
ton waters from the lands Of the muir

ACTIVITY AT WASHINGTON.
State Department officials Doing
All IN Their Power.


WASHINGTON, Oct S-Not since the
successful attempt to save the life of
John Hays Hammond, the engineer i'm
plicated in the Jamison raid, has the
state department put forth such energetic
efforts to save a human life as it is now
eXerting in behalf of Miss Stone, the
American missionary who was captured
by Bulgarian bandits. A sum of money
has been forwarded by the agency of the
cable to Spencer Eddy, the United States
secretary of legation at Constant.nople,
who has shown remarkable energy and
ability in unea1thing the ramifcati tons
of the plot which resulted in the kid
naping of Miss Stone. There is little
doubt that the Turkish government has
done all that it could be expected to do
to run down the bandits, and what is
now to be done is to secure similar ac
tion on the part Of the Bulgarian gov
ernment, and to that end influences more
potent with the Slav races than that of
the United States government are now
at work Should these measures fail,
then the ransom money must be paid
and that is why Mr.. Eddy has be n
placed in possession of his powerful aux
Hilary. The state department officials
deprecate most earnestly newspaper dis
cussion Of the measures it is taking in
Miss Stones behalf, claiming that it is
being greatly embarrassed in its effor s
by such publications. Consequently the
officials refuse to give any information
concerning the case beyond merely tue
negative statement that they have not
been informed of the reported extension
of one month allowed for the ransom of
Miss Stone
