Points.

For two hours yesterday Youtsey
was lnterrogatsd as to his various
plans to assassinate Goebel. He adj
mitted that he made conflicting state
ments immediatel following his ar
rest at Frankfort, which do not now
conform 10 his sworn statements. He
said that on his own trial in October,
1900, he pretended to have fit in the
house here TO avoid going on the wit
ness stand and to excite sympathy of
the jury.
For five hours Youtsey underwent .
very trying and vigorous cross-exam-
instion as to his participation in the
conspiracy which, he says, resulted in
/ the assassination Of william Goebel.
lie maintained q calm demeanor that
the people cannot understand in him
after the sensations he furnished two
years ago. when he was himself on
trial here, and threw fit" in the
court room.
Judge Robbins held the defense to a
systematic cross -exsmination, and
fined one attorney for violation of his
rule. The defense scored several
points on the witness as to conflicting
stories told by him before his arrest
and trial and sfterward. He admit
cd that he testified frequently to con
fuse detectives and lawyers employ ed
by the Goebel brothers. His most i'm
portaut testimony, that as to the
written agreement with Caleb Powers
regarding the affidavit of Powers IN
nocenoe, the truth or falsity of which
was waived, was ignored by Powers
attorneys in their cross.examination.

BAD FLOOD AT
KANSAS CITY
Kansas River Is on Another Ram
page Tho Present Situation
Is Not Serious.

Kansas City, Aug. 2s.-The predicted
rise in the Kansas river at this point has
arrived. From midnight to o'clock this
morning the river had risen three feet,
total Of six feet In eight hours and it
continued to rise two inches an hour. 1t
Is expected the water will continue to
come up at the present rate for another
twelve hours at least.
Further rains west of here last night are
reported, with the Kansas river at Law
renee, Topeka and Manhattan still rising
fast. AS yet no serious damage has re-
suited, the water being confined within
the banks.
Early to-day big gangs Of men were put
to work at the temporary bridges, dis
lodging driftwood that had begun to clog
the stream. The work of replacing the
James street bridge, the main wagon
bridge between the two Kansas cities, has
been stopped and efforts are now being
put forth to save the part Of the bridge
already constructed which is threatened
by driftwood
The lack Of transportation facilities is
working great hardships to the people Of
the two cities.
The Missouri river at 10 o'clock to-day
had risen nearly two feet in the past
twenty-four hours, the gage at that hour
marking 14.5. The danger mark is twen-
ty-one feet. An additional four-foot rise is
expected in the next twenty four hours

Of the papers have endeavored to make
me appear, and many of the statements

been absolutely false.
Il do not think Grover Cleveland suit
able candidate for the presidency on the
democratic ticket, and do not think the
national convention will make the mis-
take Of placing him at the head Of the
ticket. Grover Cleveland would be no
stronger as candidate for the office than
myself, and I now consider that am
badly out Of the race for the time, at
least.
Il would not make an acceptable can
didate next year and would not ask the
party to make the sacrifice of nominating
me. What we need is a man who has
supported the democratic party thru thick
and thin, who is above the suspicion
which has surrounded Cleveland, and who
is not backed by the moneyed powers
my issues are dead, at the present
time, but they will come to life again.
The trusts and the tariff are the main
questions to make the fight on next year
"A regular democrat, a man who is
strong with both factions Of the party,
and who has been democrat at all times,
is the kind Of candidate to name next
year."

Again Until England Produces
a Herreshoff.

on This Side Of the
Water"

New York, Aug. 22.-sir Thomas Lip
ton, aboard the Erin, declared to-day
in an interview that he would never chal-
lenge again for the Americas cup until a
man had been found in England who
equaled Nat Herreshoff in yacht build
ing. The baronet admitted his disap-
pointnent at his failure and frankly said
that he had no hope Of winning even a
single race. He said:
American brains and development have
us beaten. If the day ever comes when
England produces Herreshoff then will
challenge for the cup again. 1t will not
be until then. 1t Is unpleasant to be
compelled to admit 1t, but the brains in
boat building are on this side of the wa
ter. Herreshoff is a wizard. His work is
wonderful. None can have admired Re-
lance more than I have. She is the best
boat by all odds and has won on strict
merit. ".'.'

II am most disappointed man. My
hopes were high when 1 left home for I
surely believed we would carry back the
cup. Yesterdays fluke only prolonged
the agony for me. 1 do not want to win
on any slips and I regretted Reliance's
failure to get over the line as much as
any one could"

thing regarding construction and design
to the best Of England's talent. He COM
plimented Captain Barr, and said that
