w. S. TAYLOR,s STATEMENT.
At This Time He Has Very Little to
Add to Former Interviews.

Former Governor Taylor, of Kentucky,
declined to speak at length last night in
regard to the testimony of Henry Youtsey,
given yesterday in the Howard trial at
Frankfort. He contented himself with reaf-
firmation of his previous statement made
at the time when reports Of Youtsey's al
legged confession were emanating from the
grand jury room.
when Youtsey was before the grand
Jury" he said land the substance of his
testimony was given out, of a tenor SUBJ
stantially the same as his testimony to-day,
I made a statement denying every allega-
ton made in so far as it affected me. I
have nothing to add to that statement
nothing to take from Ii. 1t was true then
and as true now that all this alleged testi-
mony as regards any connection of mine
with any conspiracy Is false. cannot well
make it stronger. Beyond this L do not
care to say. merely reaffirm the truth
of what | said them
In subsequent conversation the Gov
ernor said he was not surprised at the ma
ture of the testimony the prosecution was
securing but he added that he did not
think the prosecution. was getting from
Youtsey all it expected when 1t put him on
the stand.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-There was
some speculation here to-day relative to
the possibility of the duties of the four
assistants to the postmaster general be-
ing reclassified when the present investiga-
ton is concluded. but this is pure con-
lecture. as no changes either in the per-
sonnet or in the administration of the serv-
ice will be considered by Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne until the report of General
Bristow is submitted. If 1t is demonstrated
that the business of the department would
be improved by a Encouragement of the
duties of the four assistants the proper
changes will doubtless be made. 1t is ar
gued by some officials that the rural free
delivery section properly belongs to the
second assistant postmaster, who has to
do with the dispatch of the mails. He
has jurisdiction over star routes and the
railway mail service, which are closely
connected to rural free delivery.
