Washington, August 29.-The state
department today received a cable
gram from Minister Leishman in which
he stated that advices from the Ai.-er-
lean cOnsults at HarpoOt and Beirut
were to the effect that while the
Americans in those places are in dam
ger of suffering from an uprising at
any time, the situation was not at the
time of sending the dispatches as grave
as earlier reports would indicate. Mr..
Leishman has been instructed to notify
the Turkish government that it must
keep the peace and that it will be
held to u strict accountability for any
lawless acts toward American citizens.
The navy department has received a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Cotton
saying that the Brooklyn and San
Francisco will sail from Genoa for
Beirut Sunday. They have been de-
layed by cOaling. The order for them
to proceed to Beirut has not been
changed.
Acting Secretary Darling today sent
a CableSram to Rear Admiral Cotton
informing him that Vice Consul Ma
gelssen had not been killed but had
been fired upon. This was done to
apprise the commanding officer of the
squadron of the true situation at Bel
rut. The collier Alexander today was
reported at Malta on her way to Ma
Mia with coal for the Asiatic station.
She will next report at Port Said and
if the eXigenCy is then necessary she
will be held to supply the cruisers of
the European squadron with coal.

The resolutions set forth that the du-
ty of the hour is to overcome all con--

by practicing the main every day life
and by multiplying courts of arbitra-

Lynching is declared to be a mon
strous peace breaker and state and ma
tional legislation looking to it's supres-
sion is demanded. Race hatred and
prejudice is pronounced a menace to
peace. IF there be uncomfortable pas
slons in the depraved intended victim
Of lynchlng, the resolutions show,
there is a remedy which medical skill
may well be called upon to heal, as II
would any other diSaSed condition: for
the increase of sensual criminality af-
fecting present mortality and future
generation forces the suggestion that
this remedy, administered with wisdom
and the best surgical ability would be
protection to society and a kindness
and mercy to the offender.''

POLITICS IN GERMANY.
Herr Bebe1 the UncrOwned King of
the Socialists Kissed in COnven-
ton.

Berlin, August 29.-Herr Bebel, the
king by the social democrats, was
hissed at the social democratic conven-
ton held in Berlin this week, during
controversy over the Reichstag vice
presidency question. This indicates the
intensity of the factional struggle which
is going on In the party. 1t is a renew
al Of the Bebel-Bernstein dispute Of
1901. Herren Bebel and Singer and the
old time party chiefs who follow doc
trinaire aims are rigid in their deter
minatiOn not to participate in the ideas
on which the party has grown powerful
while Herr Bernstein who is an Oppor-
tunist and moderate, favors a revision
of the socialist programme, so that the
party, recognizing the existing condi-
tionS, may combine with and utilize the
political elements so as to seize a par
tial realization of it's Arms.
Herr Bernstein has announced that
it would be a good party stroke to de-
eland the office Of first vice president of
their Reichstag instead of accepting a
lower vice Presidency, the socialists
being the next most numerous body to
the center party. Herren Bebel and
Singer, however, said no, since a vice
presidentcy of the Reichstag would in
volve a compromise with the monarchy
and it would be necessary for a social
ist holding office to wait on the sover-
eigr and congratulate him on the New
Year and other occasions-"to crawl on
his stomach before the representative
of unjust institutions
Behind the vice presidency question
are two tendencies, to be either a great,
liberal party, postponing insistence on
its theoretical views of government
until conditions ripen, or standing
steadfastly by socialist principles, with
out yielding a title to conventional prac-
ticeS and cOmprOmiSeS.

THE TURKISH MINISTER
TO CONFER WITH HAY

Sayville. L. l.. August 29.-Alarmed
at the critical condition of American
Turkish relations. Chekib Bey. the Tur-
kish minister to the United States is
hastening to Washington for a confer
ence with Secretary Hay The minis
ter hurriedly left his summer legation
here tonight for Washington and be-
cause of tn rravity of the situation
1t is the minister's intention to ask
Secretary Hay to fOrego the customary
fOrmallties and receive him immediate
ly. The conference probably will occur
at Mr. Hay'S house tomorrow after
noon.
Dispatch of the American warships
to Turkish waters is a source of the
greatest anxiety to the minister Al
though confident himself that the
Washington governments intention in
taking the action was to protect Amer
lean citizens. he fears it may have the
opposite effect. and render more diff
cult the efforts of the Ottoman govern
ment to afford protection to foreigners.
The appearance of the European
squadron off Beirut will. it is pointed
out, be taken by the reVOltuiOnistS as
an evidence of the WASHINGTON GOV
ernments sympathy with their cause
and thus arouse them 70 renewed afro
cities.
Until he receives instructions from
COastantinOple Chekib Bey will not re-
quest the Washington government TO
withdraw the squadron but he Will call
Secretary Hay's attention to the deli
cate situation in Turkey. hoping that
the state department may do something
to relieve the embarrassment of the
porte.

consul at Beirut and he has been with

we'll as the local troubles at Beirut
which is calling Chekib Bey to Wash

When the Associated Press represen-

APPEAL Is TAKEN
This is the Third Trial of the Ex-
Secretary of State for Completely
GOebe1-Twice Before He Has Been
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment-A
New Trial is to be Asked for and
the Case Continued to the Last
Resort.

Georgetown, KY, August 29.-The
third trial of ex-Secretary of State
Caleb Powers for completely in the
murder of Governor William GiebeI in
January. 1900, closed shortly before
noon today with verdict imposing
the extreme penalty of hanging for the
distinguished prisoner who has been
in the penitentiary for three years on
life sentence.
The verdict of the jury, guilty and
the punishment of death" was reported
into court at 11:20 today Several hun
dred persons crowded the court room
when the verdict was read and the
most intense silence prevailed. The
jury was polled and each man declared
the verdict of guilty to be his finding.
Powers sat unmoved while his attor-
neys asked for time to make a motion
for a new trial.
Arthur Goebel, the brother of the
victim, and a prominent merchant at
CINCINNATI, who has spent his time and
fortune for over three years in the
prosecution of those accused of being
in conspiracy to kill his brother,
broke down from the strain upon hear
ing the verdict. Powers has been con-
vfcted twice before this being the third
trial in which the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty against him.
On his previous trials, he escaped
with sentence of life imprisonment.
as the evidence was not sufficiently
strong against him to lead the jury to
inf1icting the extreme penalty. All
three of the trials --ere held at George
town and in each of them he had the
assistance of the most able lawyers
who could be procured. The last trial
was distinguished by the fact that Pow
ers addressed the jury in his own be-
half and in a long review of the case
showed himself to be very competent
attorney while his eloquence in plead
ing for his life astounded those who
had watched him carefully in the past
trials of the case.
Powers had nothing to say regarding
the verdict except to express his sur
prise that such result could be reach
ed from the evidence presented and to
announce that he would take an ap-
peal and continue the case to the last
resort.
When Powers secured his former new
trials a majority of thoso on the ap-
pellate court were republicans. but it
is now composed of democratic judges.
The former trials of Powers were be-
fore Judge James E. Cantrill of this
city, but r was barred from sitting
this time and Governor Beckham ap-
pOint ed Judge RibbinS.
