BYSTANDER SHOT.
AND KILLED JESSE BURTON,
IT Is NOW CLAIMED.

jacksonville, KY, Feb. 19.-The
noted case of the Commonwealth VS..
J. B. Indie, charged with the muir.
der Of young Jesse Burton at Earring
ton on the 18th OF last July, still con
Times in the circuit court. The case
was called last Monday week ago,
making eleven days already consumed,
and oil Of this time the court house
has been crowded to overlooking.
There were something over 400 wit
nesses to testify for one side or the
other. Ali the witnesses for the Com
monwealth have been examined, and
the work OF examining witnesses for
the defense taken up.
Lindle was placed on the stand and
his evidence was considerably differ
ent to that Of any of the witnesses. 1t
is said that he contended that the shots
fred by himself and Witherspoon, his
deputy, two in number, were ct ran
dom. leaving the impression that the
shot that killed the ,oung man was

PORT ARTHUR BEsIEGED.

Paris. Feb. l9.-An eminent mill
tary authority connected with one Of
the embassies says that Port Arthur
was practically besieged, and that it
was q serious question whether this
would not compel either the abandon
ment OF surrender OF the fortress, with
its men and material. The grounds
for this belief were stated as follows
Admiral Toog's ships, on watch at
the entrance of the port prevent in
gress or egress, thus establishing vir-
tual blockade and cutting Off the
chances Of relief from seward. The
japanese troops near New Chwang
and other points ON the Lao Tung
peninsula are able TO interrupt the rail
road forming the lines of communion
tion and supplies between Port Arthur
and Harm. The result is the gradual
investiture Of Port Arthur within the
japanese naval and military lines. II
will require bold action on the part of
the Russian forces to prevent the final
accomplishment Of the investiture
and slow reduction OF Port Arthur "

MEETING SOON
PRESIDENT THOMPSON SAYS K.
I. T. Is ALL RIGHT.

President Irwin Thompson, of the K.
1. T., who returned yesterday from
indianapolis and the east, states that
he has not decided on when to call q
meeting Of the K. 1. T. managers and
officers, but that it will probably be
Sunday week.
President Thompson says that the
report that the X. l. T is not in good
condition is an error, as it is all right,
and will without doubt be ready for
business at the beginning Of the sea
son. All the cities, practically. have
put mp their forfeits. Tho reason no
meeting was called for last Sunday is
that no one wanted it except Paducah
and Cairo.

RUsSIAs' REPLY.

Washington, Feb. l9-The state de-
partment has had an intimation that
the Russian reply to Secretary Hays
note relative TO the naturalization of
China will be forthcoming in a day or
two. Russia first looked upon this
proposition o. an act adverse to their
interests, but IL is now stated that
they are entirely willing to accept. A
condition, however, will be attached
safeguarding the important interests
that Russia has acquired In Mancburis
in connection with the Siberian rail
road and it's branches, and the consid-
cradle ports aud inland towns that
have been developed at Russia's ex-
pense, in connection with the Siberian
railway project. II is understood that
the validity of these interests will be
admitted by the cooperating powers.
As for Japan, while her acceptance of
Secretary Hays proposition also was
coupled with q condition, IL il admit.
ted that this was nothing more than o
requirement that Russia be bound
equally with Japan In the observation
Of neutrality and restriction OF the
war area.
