"Open Door" Policy to BE Upheld.

PARIS, May Accommodating on the Man.
churian situation. the officials here say the
French ambassador at st. Petersburg has
had an interview on the subject with For
eign Minister Lamsdorf, which brought out
a repetition of the statement that Russia
had given positive assurances to the United
States that there would be no interrupt
ton of the open-door policy in Manchuria,
and also the assertion that the mission Of
General Kuropatkin, the Russian war min
lister, to Manchuria was pacific.
The view held here is that Russia's as
surances fully protect the United States
commercial interests. The reoccupation of
eu-Chwang by Russian troops is claimed
to be wholly political issue between Rus
STA, Great Britain and japan, and as not
involving American commerce or any other
American interests.

improvements About Complete
And Will Soon Be Ready
Fer Occupancy.

The extensive improvements that
have been in progress on the Chris
tian county court house for three
months are nearing completion, and
the remodeled building will be
ready for occupancy q few days.
Its internal arrangements have
been completely changed. The
large vestibule, formerly used for
the stairways on either side, has
been utilized for additional Office
rooms, and the steps now 60 up
from the main hallway, in two
flights.
The court room above has been
repapered and repainted and is
greatly improved in appearance.
The outside of the building has not
been changed, except that a new
and larger clock tower has been
built, and the whole building given
a new coat Of paint.
The court house in Hopkinsville
was burned by Gen. H. B. Lyon, in
his raid from Paris, Tenn, to
Litchfeld, KY, in Decembar 1864.
Ours was one of a dozen court
houses destroyed because he found
them occupied by union soldiers as
headquarters.
In 1869 a new and better building
was put up and it has been several
times improved and changed more
or less in the last "a years. The
repairs this summer have been
more extensive than at any time
heretofore, and the county now has
one of the best and handsomest
courthouses to be found IN the
State.

POWERS CASE
About Ready TO Go to the
Jury.

Georgetown, KY Aug. 22.-Jim
Howard was called to the stand in
the Powers trial this afternoon. He
denied ever having known or even
seen Henry Youtsey before they
were thrown together in the Jail at
Frankfort, charged with the same
crime. He told on .cross-examina-
ton the story he has told on each of
his three trials. His cross exam
inatiOn was not concluded upon the
adjournment of court and he will be
recalled on Monday.
The defense will rest its case by
noon, Monday, but before doing so
may call to the witness stand
former Governor Bradley and Gen.
Basil Duke.
The jury will be taken Monday
afternoon or Tuesday morning 10
Frankfort TO view the scene Of the
tragedy.
Much time in court this afternoon
was taken up in proving the al

this city, It is said, to escape fran.
chise taxes in Nashville.
If required to pay franchise taxes
here, it would reduce the taxes Of
every person IN the city more than
one half. Don't you think the peO-
pie are right in rising up against
such a protected monopoly, when
competing companies are begging
to enter the city, under the provis-
ions of the constitution? The home
company has invaded the county
with a line from GAINESVILLE to La
fayette.
1t is spreading into all parts Of
the Cumberland's territory, except
Hopkinsville, and wherever it goes
telephone rates drop and the SER
vice is made more efficient. 1t is a
question far more important than
politics this year, and besides both
sides have about all the politics on
hand they can handle, without en-
gaging in ward politics. "
These expressions will give the
reader an idea of the objects of the
movement, which has already de-
veloped a great deal Of strength.
