FORAKER ACT SUSTAINED.
Judge Ray Hands Down Very Inter-
esting Decision.

New York, August 14.-Judge Ray, in
the United States Circuit court, today
handed down an opinion sustaining the
constitutionality of the Foraker act,
which provided a new revenue tax on
merchandise brought into the United
States from Porto Rico after the asso-
citation ceased to be a foreign country.
Today's decision sustained a demurrer
interposed by the United States in action
commenced against 1t by the sugar I'M
porting firm of Lascells g. Co. of New
York. The firm imported a cargo of SUI
gar from Porto Rico on June II, 1S99
which was placed on it's arrival in a
bonded warehouse. The entry was liqul-
dated November IA, 1899, under the exist
ing Dingley tariff act. On June the en-
try was re-liqudated and duties reas-
sessed under the Foraker act
The firm protested against the mposi-
tion of any and all duties. Finally, un-
der protest, s2500 duty was paid and suit
for its recovery instituted. The govern
ment demurred, claiming that the goods
were dutiable under the so-called For
aker act and Judge Ray sustained the
demurrer. The real question at issue and
one not previously raised was that por-
tion of the Foraker act which provided
for the assessing of merchandise at bond
ed warehouses at the time the new law
went into effect

Georgetown, Ky, August 14-In the
trial of former Secretary of State Caleb
Powers for completely in the murder of
Goebel today, the cross examination of
Henry Youtsey was resumed by Attorney
Violet of the defense this morning. A
large crowd was assembled to see the
noted prisoner and hear him testify. The
attorney took the witness over his move
ments for a day before the shooting of
Goebel and after the arrival of Howard
in Frankfort. Youtsey said he expected
Howard on the morning of January 80 as
he had seen preparations in the agricul-
tural building for trouble.
For two hours he was interrogated as
to his various plans to asssssinate Goebel.
He admitted that he made conflicting
statements Immediately following his ar
rest at Frankfort. which did not now
conform to his sworn statements. He
said that on his own trial In October,
1900 he pretended to have a fit In the
courthouse here to avoid going on the
witness stand and to excite sympathy of
the jury.
For five hours Henry Youtsey. under
went a very trying and vigorous cross
examination as to his participation in the
conspiracy, which he says, resulted in
the assassination of William Goebel He
maintained a calm demeanor that the
people cannot understand in him after
the sensations he furnished two years

PRESIDENT TALKS OVER
COMING LEGISLATION

Oyster Bay. N. Y, August 14-Finan-
cial legislation and other work of the
proposed extraordinary session of con-
gress were discussed today by the Pres
ident with several of his callers. The
first arrivals were Secretaries Shaw ana
Hitchcock, respectively of the treasury
and interior departments. In addition
to some departmental questions which
they desired to bring to the Presidents 8
attention, they considered with him the
suggestions made by the members of
the senate subcommittee on finance at
their conference with the President on
Wednesday night, particularly with re-
gard to an extraordinary session of con-
gress at a date earlier than November o.
Considerable opposition was developed to
the Idea of calling the extra session In
October. The point is made that many
senators and representatives will be en-
gagged during October in their state cam

ago, when he was himself on trial here
and threw a ft' in the court room.
Judge Robbins held the defense to a
systematic eross-examination and fined
one attorney for violation of his rule.
The defense scored several points on
the witness on the conflicting stories told
by him before his arrest and trial and
afterwards. He admitted that he had
testified frequently to confuse detectives
and lawyers employed by the Goebel
brothers His most important testimony
was that as to the written agreement
with Caleb Powers regarding the affi-
davit of oPwers' innocence, the truth of
falsity of which was waived was ignored
by Powers attorney in their cross-exam-
ination.
What Youtsey Said.
Madison, Ind, August 14-In the trial
of Caleb Powers at Georgetown, KY,
Henry Youtsey is reported to have said:
''The first conversation had with me
was by the chairman of the republican
county committee of Trimble county He
was In one of the first crowds of men who
came TO Frankfort He came to my office
and we talked about Goebel. The man
said that he understood Goebel wore ar
NOR of some kind, but that he did not
wear 1t about his head, and he ought to
be met at the state house gate some morn
ing and swung to a limb
John r. Inglis, postmaster at Milton,
who was chairman of the Trimble county
committee at that time and who telephon-
ed the message to the Courier-Journal,
today said that Youtsey's story was en-
tirely false Inglis said he was not in

force of police was on hand distributed
on the outside, at the doors and through
out the pavilion. A force of efficient ush-
ers promptly conducted the ticket holders
to their seats.
At 9 o'clock Captain of Police Mooney
entered the ring and had Bill Jordan an
nounce that not until every man holding
a ticket was seated would the big contest
go on.
Two Preliminary Bouts.
Two preliminaries, the first six round
draw between Frank Smith of Los An
geles and Jack Sheridan of San Rafael,
and another of like length between Jack
Evans and Jerry Fairbanks, kept the
crowd interested until the hour of 9;15,
the time for the big men to enter on the
scene, had arrived.
The ring looked large, compared with
the enclosures used heretofore in this
city. In pursuance with an understand
ing with the big fighters 1t was made
the regulation "a foot ring. Heretofore 20
foot rings have been the rule. 1t was
a splendidly constructed affair. The ropes
were stretched inside the posts making
1t impossible for injury to result to the
contestants from contact with the up
rights. The floor was solidly constructed
and heavily padded. While 1t was not
an ideal ring for fast work, 1t did not
seriously impede the speed of either man.
Above the right at a height of twelve
feet were suspended eight large arc
lights. shaded in such a manner as to
throw the greater light straight down on
the men.
Betting Was 2 to 1.
At s o'clock the betting at Harry Cor
belts place was to l with considerable
betting money In sight. There was no
betting on the result, but some good wag-
ers were placed on rounds. The favorite
seemed to be even money that Corbett
would stay 12 rounds
When the first preliminary was ended
all eyes were turned toward the entrance
to the dressing rooms of the principals to
the big battle.

VESUVIUS AGAIN
CAUSING ALARM
WHOLE DISTRICT AROUND THE
VOLCANO Is SHAKEN BY FIRE.
oUENT EARTH SHOCKS, AND A
PANIC PREVAILS.

Rome. August 4-Vesuvius Is again
causing intense alarm in the surrounding
region, eruptions of the volcano being
very heavy today. This alarming activ-
ity which followed the shocks Of earth
quake is augmenting. The detonations
are very loud and almost continuous.
while from a fresh opening at the base OF
the principal crater two streams of lava
are issuing which within few hours
covered a wide tract OF ground. One
stream has covered the ground already
arid from previous eruptions. but the
other is going swiftly towards the village
of Ottajano. the direction taken by the
famous eruption of 1872.
The whole district around the volcano
is shaken by the frequent earth shocks
and a perfect panic prevails, the popula-
ton crowding the. churches to pray or
gathering in open spaces for safety. Ex-
perts, however. affirm that so far there Is
no reason to fear a serious disaster.

At 9:15 o'clock the crowd rose en-mass

which were made to seem insignificant

through the ropes.
Jeffries wore black half length tights
with a belt made of the American flag.
He wore no bandages. Corbett had on a
long flannel dressing gown. Corbett
walked across to Jeffries and shook him
cordially by the hand. Bob Fitzsimmons
strolled about the ring without causing a
ripple. Corbett was introduced first and
received a great ovation. Corbett was

naturedly over the material used, Cor

and walked back to his corner. Jeffries
took the southeast and Corbett the north

Jeffries listened to Fitzsimmons' advice,
while Tommy Ryan filled a similar role
in Corbett's corner.
