NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Not Government Money.

Commissioner Richards, Of the Gen

reply to a publication that some Of
the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment are criticising the action of the
Secretary of the Interior respecting the
deposit OF the funds received from the
sale Of the town sites in the Kiowa
and Comanche reservations, which was
made under Mr.. Richards direction in
1901.
He saws the expenses of the transac-
ton were paid from the receipts of the
respective sales and properly accounted
for to the Secretary of the Interior, and
the balance of the receipts, amounting to
$780, oI, deposited in the Sub Treasury
at St. Louis, against which is to be
charged $5,284 expenses incurred in the
surveying of the town sites, leaving a
balance of $7z4oI7.
The Commissioner adds:
mo portion of this balance belongs TO
the Government. By the act under which
these town sites were sold it is to be
disposed of under the direction Of the
Secretary of the Interior, in the manner
provided in the act The Secretary is the
trustee of this fund, charged with the
duty of seeing that it is expended in the
manner provided by the act. The money
was deposited in the Sub Treasury at St.
Louis. There was no direction in the
law that it should be so deposited. 1t
might have been deposited elsewhere, in
the discretion of the Secretary"

Third Race.

New York (SpeciaD.-In a glorious
WHOLESALE breeze, over triangular
course, ten miles to a leg, the fleet
footed cup defender Reliance again
showed her heels to Sir Thomas LIP
tons challenger, taking the second race
of the cup series OF 1903 by the mar
row margin of one minute and nine
teen seconds.
1t was as pretty and as hard fought
contest as has ever been sailed OFT
Sandy Hook, and had the wind not
fallen during the last ten minutes the
record for the course-three hours
twelve minutes and fifteen seconds
made by Columbia two years ago IN
her memorable race against Shamrock
H., would have been broken.
As it was, Reliance sailed the thirty
miles within two minutes and thirty
nine seconds OF the record, when
speaks wonders for her speed IN the
wind that was blowing.
Relancc's victory, narrow as 1t was,
would have been even smaller had nor

British ship, bunglcd the start sending

crs superiority was demonstrated. Sne
gained one minute and ffty-one sec

on the run to the second mark and
forty-five seconds on the close reach
for home.
Based upon the magnificent showing
she has made in the two races already
sailed it is the belief Of many experts
that the cup is safe and that it will take
something better than Flies latest Gre

Its Odor Drives Them OF.

The Department of Agriculture is in
vestigating the virtues of the ocimumvi-
rides, a plant from Northern Nigeria,
and experts say that if all that is claimed
be proved ocimumvirides will soon be all
the rage as decorations for entertain
ments and dinners during the summer
social season.
1t is conceded it is not as beautiful as
Bride roses or orchids, but it will re-
move mosquitoes, and in this tact its
popularity is expected to lie: Place a
pot of ocimumvirides on the dining room
table or the veranda of summer cot
tage and the mosquitoes will leave and
not return so long as the plant is around.
Mosquitoes object to the odor the plant
exudes. This resembles thymian and
eucalyptus. The department, before CIV
ing its unqualified Endorsement to the
ornamental mosquito exterIninator, is
first going to find out if the insects will
cultivate a liking for it.

Time Received the Sentence oil lmprIson'

Makes Eloquent Plea.

Georgetown, KY. (Special).-lhe
third trial of cx-Secretary Of State Ca
leb Powers for completely in the muir
der of Gov. William Goebel in January,
1000, closed shortly before noon, when
the jury brought in verdict of guilty,
with the extreme penalty of hanging
for the prisoner. Powers had been in
the penitentiary for three years ON life
sentence.
The verdict OF the jury, guilty and
the punishment of DEATH" was report
ed into court at I12o. Several hun
dred people crowded the courtroom
when the verdict was read. Intense ST.
lence prevailed. The jury was poled
and each man declared the verdict OF
guilty to be his finding.
Powers sat apparently unmoved
while his attorneys ased for time to
make motion for a new trial.
He had nothing to say regarding the
verdict except to express his surprise
that such a result could be reached
from the evidence presented and to an.
nounce that he would take an appeal
and continue his case to the last re-
sort.
Arthur GoebeI, the brother OF the
victim and a merchant in Cincinnati,
who has spent his time and fortune Tor
over three years in the prosecution OF
those accused Of being in a conspiracy
to kill his brother. broke down from
the strain upon hearing the verdict.
Special Judge Robbins in the alter
noon formally overruled a motion tor
the granting of new trial to Powers.
He then passed the sentence OF death
upon him. Powers made only the dec
laratiOn:
I'm not guilty, JudgeP
The Court then fixed November rs
next as the day for the execution.
The attorneys for Powers secured the
granting of an appeal for the case to
the Kentucky Court of Appeals, and, il
unsuccessful, they may try to get the
United States Supreme Court to take
it under consideration.
Powers was Immediately removed to
the Scott County Jail to be held there
pending the appeal OF his case to the
higher courts.
A telegram from indianapolis states
that ex-Gov. w. s. Taylor said:
"This verdict affects me very much.
I cannot say word"
Powers has been convicted twice be-
fore. this being the third trial in which
the Jury brought in verdict OF guilty
against him. On his previous trials ne
escaped with a sentence of life impris-
onment, as the evidence was not con-
sidered sufficiently strong against him
to lead the jury to inhict the extreme
penalty. All three of the trials were
held at Georgetown and in each OF
them he had the assistance Of the most
able lawyers who could be procured.
The trial just closed was made not
able by Powers addressing the jury in
his own behalf In long review OF the
case he showed himself to be COM
petent ally OF his counsel. while his elo-
quence in pleading for his life astonish-
ed those who had watched him care
fully in the past trials OF the case.

titled to pay for the time of his absence
from the printing Office.
Miller was absent O. days, and if the
claim had been valid there would be due
him $3.50. The Comptroller holds that
Miller is not an official of the Govern
ment, but an employee, and ruled that a
prerequisite of his pay is that he should
be present and actually perform the labor
required of him.

of the expiration Of the time limit OF

the defeat administered to the challen-

lingering hope remained in the breasts

than that of last Saturday. Outsalled,
outpointed and outfooted, it was pro-

Shamrock hopelessly in the fifteen
miles of windward work, rounding the
outer mark II minutes and 80 seconds
ahead of her, a gain i'll actual time OF
II minutes and 20 seconds, and down
the wind she steadily increased her
lead.
The real race OF the day was not
against Shamrock Ill, but it was seen
in the exciting struggle OF Reliance in
the last half hour to reach the finish
line before the regatta committee fired
the gun which should announce the ex-
