retary of war has sent to the treasury
department a box of cigars and $l00
which was received from the depart

his desk and upon opening it discov-
cred that it was from a contractor who
was doing some work under the quar-
termaster's supervision. In the box
was the money. The colonel was very
indignant and referred the matter to
General Fred Grant, commanding the
department The contractor acknow[
edged sending the cigars by messen-
ger boy, but said he did not know any
thing about the money.

''MOB IS A WILD BEAST
DR. A. 6. MCARTHUR INvEIGHs
 AGAINST VIOLENCE.
Declares Days of Republic are Num- bered when Mobocracy supplants Democracy-Mob Law a Great
 Danger. ,''7

New York. Aug. i7-Rev. pr. A. 6. Mo- Arthur. pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church. has vigorously denounced lynch Ing and anarchy.
 In the course of his sermon he said:
 "A mob is a wild beast. uf0O has no brains Co think. no breast to feel aSld no reason to judge between right and wrong When democracy becomes mobocracy, the days of the republic win bo numbered.
 Mob law is one of the greataat dAtiRefe in a republican form of govefnfnAfit. "a is anarchy. pure and simple. 1t is vastly more dangerous in a republic than In q monarchy. It resolves society into saw aEery. It brutalizes and demoralizes all who participate in 1t. It puts brute force in the place of law and vengeance in the place of Justice. It Is treason to the re- public and dlshonor to humanity.
 Ours is the only country on the globe that roasts at the stake men uncondemn- ed and untried. There Is not a spot to- day in darkest Africa or in any other pagan land where such atrocities are com mitted
 We must insist that officers of the law shall be fearless in the defense of their prisoners, even though they be guilty of the most awful crimes. In order to do so they may have to shoot to kill. No man who knows my spirit will charge me with cruelty In feeling or action"

SHOULD HIRE HOWARD
BEST WAY REColeMEMDxD TO
 SET ED or gcEpEL.
Witness Noakes said Finley Recom- mended that Course--Powers Took stand in His Own
 Defense. .t

Georgetown, Ky. Aug 17.-Robert Noakes, who three years ago in the first trial of Caleb Powers. was a sensational witness. but who ran away from Ken- lucky after leaving the stand, appeared as witness for the commonwealth today
 Witness Noakes said that at one time at Corbln, Whitley County, James Finley Secretary of State said to him that the moving of a large bunch of men to Frank fort was too expensive, that the best way to settle the contest was to pay James Howard 5000 to kill Goebel
 The witness said arrangements had been made to kill Goebel on January 25. 1900 but that they then miscarried. The cross examination of the witness by Attorney Williams was being made when court recessed.
 Powers took the witness stand In his own defense at the afternoon session. Examined by Judge Morton he told inc story he has repeated on the stand on each of his preceding trials. He denied the story told by Frank Cecil of Bell County, that he was seeking some one to enact the role of assassin. In making answer to questions the defendant con- tinually made explanations. A number of times he fell into error in making these explanations and was corrected by the court. The defendant denied that he ever had any other motive in bringing the mountain army to Frankfort than to show the Democratic majority of the Gen eral Assembly the intense feeling of the Republican voters of the State and said 1t had nothing whatever to do with the murder. With his answers to questions, 1t is plainly evident that Powers's defense this time will be that Henry Youtsey fired the shot. The direct examination was not concluded today

 s0lidAtions Discussed.

washington. Aug. f7.--(speciaI.)--An important meeting at which action Is to be taken for a revision for the railroad passenger rates in the South, is being held in washington this week. The gen eral passenger agents, the passenger traf- ne managers and other officers of the H. linois Central, the Louisville and Nash vile. the Southern, the St. Louis and San Francisco. the Georgia Central. the Att lantic Coast Lanc. the Seaboard Air Line, the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto- mac, the Chesapeake and Ohio. the Bal timore and Ohio and many of the smaller lines are here.
 E Among those present and who have sub mitted definite propositions are: Charles Stone, General Passenger Agent of the Louisville and Nashville; Passenger Agent Hardwick of the Southern. Passenger TrafIic Manager W. 4. Turk of the South 0rn. A. IT, Hanson of the Illinois Central, A. c. JaclUBon of the Georgia Central and w. J. Craig of the Atlantic Coast Line. For more than two years the passenger rates in the South have been unsatisfac- tory and the purpose 6f the meeting today is to try to agree upon plan which can be applied to all of the lines.
 The propositions so far made today were for a slightly increased rate which all of the companies must live up to. It seemed probable that some such an agreement would be reached before the agents ad- iourned.
 Tn addition to the rate matter, the re- cent cancellations were discussed and af- rangements were made to prevent them from disturbing the present understand ing and thus preclpitatIng rate war
 It is understood that the new eomDlna- tion are to be asked to enter the agree ment which will be reached later.
