ALL MUST TAKE The OATH
An UNEXPECTED ORDER ISSUED BY
PUBLIC PRINTER PALMER.
All Employees Under Him Must Swear
Allegiance to the United States
Bookbinders Surprised.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-An order from
Public Printer Palmer was issued to the
heads of divisions i'm the Government Print
ing Office just before the hour for closing
to-day to appear before a notary public in
the office and take the oath of allegiance
to the United States as subscribed to by
clerks under the civil law.
Mr.. Palmer said tonight he had issued
the order at the suggestion of a govern
ment official, whose name he declined to
give. He said that its object was to place
the per diem employees in the same atti-
tude toward the government as that of the
clerks on annual salaries, who have SUBJ
scriDed to the order. He said that every
employe of the office would be affected by
the order but to prevent loss of time and
confusion the chiefs of divisions were asked
to take ii to-day. and that gradually the
entire force would have the oath admins
tered.
The issuance of the order created consid-
cradle surprise among the employees OF
the Office, especially among members of the
Bookbinders' Union, who believe 1t has in
directly bearing on the issues growing
out of the case of w. A. Miller, the assist
ant foreman of the bindery, who was dis
charged from the office because he had
been expelled from the local Bookbinders'
Union, but was afterward reinstated at the
direction of President Roosevelt.

POWERS CASE ARGUMENT
FORMER GOVERNOR TAYLOR
SCORED FOR HIDING In INDIANA.
Bitter Speech by a GOebelite. Attorney
-Youtsey and Howard Alleged to
Have Been Mere Tools.

GEORGETOWN, Ky, Aug. 26.-For eight
and one-half hours to-day and tonight the
Jury trying Caleb Powers listened TO argu-
ment of commonwealth and defense coun-
sci in the case. Attorneys j. r. Morton
and Samuel Wilson, of the defense, occu-
pied five hours and thirty minutes, and At
torney John l.. Hendricks. counsel for the
State, three hours He will resume in the
morning, speaking for an hour, and will
be followed by ID. X. Rawlings, of the de-
fense. Attorney Campbell and the defend
ant Powers will occupy the rest Of the day
and evening. Powers's speech will be brok-
en- tomorrow night and concluded Friday
morning and States Attorney Franklin will
conclude during the afternoon.
The line Of argument of the defense coun-
sci is that the convict Henry Youtsey, of
his own volition, did the killing and that
their client had no connection whatever
further than to take the mountain men TO
Frankfort to petition the General Assembly.
Attorney Hendricks took the position
early in his argument that Youtsey and
Howard were but weak tools in the hands
of Taylor, Powers and Finley, and that
they were leaders in the conspiracy. He
urged the infiction of capital punishment
in this case, even though Howard, con-
victed of firing the shot, was only SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life In the State
penitentiary. Hendricks scored former
Governor Taylor for hiding in Indiana and
sending his dispositions into court here.

The corrupt union which the Republican
managers of Ohio. treacherous alike to

recent history of Ohio taxation. After re-
peated acknowledgements by the Republican
party In It's platforms and other pubic dec

laws, the Republican Legislature has re-

by which telegraph, telephone and express
companies are taxed, provides a simple
method of arriving at the real value for
taxation of steam railroad street railroad

Yet the Republican Legislature refused TO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Representative
Jesse Overstreet, Of Indianapolis, to-day
contributed some interesting observations
to the current discussion OF the financial
question. When asked his opinion on the
necessity for further legislation he said:
"Of course, would be glad to see addi-
tionaI currency legislation and would deem
it advisable AT the same time / want to
emphasize my opinion that IL is not neces-
sary to the continuance of prosperity. There
are two main features of the financial situ-
alton:
"First-The certainty and security of our
currency
"Second-The freedom of its circulation.
Now, the certainty and security of the
currency is assured by the legislation al
ready on the statute books, especially the
gold-standard act of 1900. There cannot be
a doubt, nor even the shadow or ghost OF a
doubt, as to the absolute stability of our
currency. 1t is founded on rock bottom.
and cannot be assailed or shaken.
THE freedom of circulation can be secured
by continuance OF public confidence. Why
should not public confidence continue?
There is nothing in the industrial con-
ditions Of this country to meance prosper
ity. The banking conditions are much bet
ter to-day than they were one year ago.
The little furry in Wall street makes no
impression whatever on the West IL has
not caused as much commotion in industrial
and financial circles as the falling CT an
autumn leaf. Let public confidence
tinue, and We will have no cause to COM
plain of the freedom of circulation.
Industrial conditions throughout the
country west of the Susquehanna river are
in every way admirable continued Mr..
Overstreet. ''The country seems TO be In
favor of industrial activity. Men are busy
everywhere, working night shifts as well as
in the daytime. The crops are splendid.
railroads taxed to their utmost TO move
the accumulation of freight at every point.
and on every hand is indication of thrift and
industry

Adverse to His Client. Will Not he
Final-Hearing To-Day.

The case of James Lynchehaun, whom the
government of his Majesty Edward VIZ
wishes to extradite, will be settled ulti-
mately i'm the Supreme Court of the United
States. No matter what the result may
be of the hearing now pending before United
States Commissioner Moores, it will be
the court of final jurisdiction that will be
called upon to give its decision.
Albert w. Wshard. who has been retained
to represent the refugee. stated last night
that the attempt of the English govern
ment to extradite Lynchhaun will be fought
step by step. and that the United States
Supreme Court will certainly be called upon
eventually.
This is the most important international
case in many years. said Mr.. Wishard
last night. "Lynchehaun is the victim of
an oppressive law meant only for Ireland
He was convicted merely for assault and
battery, and yet he received a sentence of
life Imprisonment.
The case is being tried before United
States Commissioner Charles w. Moores
and the evidence was heard yesterday in
Judge Andersons court on account of the
large crowd that attended the trial. Albert
w. Wishard and Henry Spaan defend
ing Lynchehaun. The British government
uty United States attorney. Maurice Dom
nelly, William Flynn and Patrick McNelis
were prominent in the courtroom In the
audience were number of well-known law
yers and lrishmen who had taken an inter-
est IN the case.
Attorneys Wishard and Spaan submitted
that the United States government would
be in error to allow the Pinkerton detec-
tives to make an arrest i'm Indiana. Ii was
then shown that the arrest had been made
through Deputy United States Marshals
Boyd and Rankin on information given
by the three Pinkerton detectives.
Bertillon measurements, said to have been
taken of Lynchehaun, were displayed in
court. He was arrested for assaulting Mrs.
Anna O'Donnell i'm Marlborough Ireland
Oct. g. 1894. Lynchehaun was also accused
of setting fire to barn belonging to Mrs
O'Donnell and allowing her stock TO run
away. Lynchehaun was arrested for these
crimes and sentenced to life Imprisonment
He escaped several years ago and came to
America Ii was only when his wife left
Ireland TO join him i'm indianapolis that the
three Pinkerton detectives knew of his
whereabouts.
A meeting will be held tonight at the
Occidental Hotel by the members of the
executive board of the Ancient Order of
Hibernans at which arrangements will be
made fora public meeting TO be held Sun
day night in Masonic Hall in Lynchehaun' $
interest.
1t was said by Patrick McNeis and Maui
rice Donpely yesterday that none of the
Irish societies has taken up the case Off
cially. The trial will be continued to-day

at the time. but the body was exhumed
yesterday. Startling discoveries were made
by Captain Gerber and Detectives Asch and
Manning. and after great trouble in secur-
ing evidence. the Phillips woman was placed
under arrest and charged with murder.
AT the present time she does not know that
she is accused of taking the life of young
Carr but she will be told of the charge
this morning by the police matron.
The girl has admitted that in moment
of drunken frenzy she pushed Carr out
of the front door of the house, and last
night was almost crazed. with grief over
the deed. She believed, however, that she
would be released to-day after the inves-
tigation was finished.
WARRANTS FOR OTHERS.
Warrants were sworn out last night for
the man Pat and seven inmates of the
house of ill-fame. charging them with be-
ing implicated i'm the crime. 1t is said that
all the inmates of the Ward resort will be
placed under arrest to insure their pres
ence at the trial of the Phillips woman.
Detectives Asch and Manning stated last
night that they had nothing to say as to
who, besides the Phillips woman, were to
be arrested. but intimated that other ar
rests will follow shortly.
Coroner Tutewiler said last nigh that
there was no doubt that Carr's death was
due to his fall. and DR.. Stern, who per-
formed the autopsy, said that Carr died
from the effects of his injuries and not
from the effect of drink. 1t was reported
that Carr was a drunkard and was in a
habit of being constantly intoxicated. but
that report. IL is said, was untrue, as he sell
dom was known to be under the influence OF
LIQUOR. Another feature of the death of
the young man was the immediate disap-
pearance of his companion. Pat" who, 1t
is said. up to the present time has not been
located. Carr was known to have had a
good sum of money on his person before he
met with the fall that ended i'm his death,
but little was found in his pockets after
he was taken to the hospital 1t is be-
lieved that the man known as Pat robbed
his friend and fed from the city.
