this reason tho policy of the government
with reference to tho acquisition of foreign
territory will this year bo given the place
of prominence which wan allotted to tho
financial question In 1890, tho other subjects

GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. 3, Of the
eight witnesses Introduced by the defense
In tho Powers enso today, all but one wero
called for tho purpose of attacking the
credulity of witnesses placed on tho stand
by tho prosecution. One of those, former
State Auditor Stone, stated that Witness
W. H. Culton, an alleged consplrntor of
Powers, was removed from a place of
trust In his otllcc because he defaulted In
the sum of f 1.000.
Other witnesses, residents of Grayson
Springs, this state, testitlcd that instead
of being In Frankfort on Jonuary 30, the
duy of tho shooting of Governor Goebcl, as
ho claimed under oath to have been, George
Weaver, a witness for tho prosecution, wns
In their town orglnlzlng a lodge of Wood
men of the World, and others from eastern
Kentucky testified that tho witness, Whar
ton Golden of tho prosecution, had dis
played a largo roll of money and Intimated
that It came from tho state reward fund.
Attorneys for tho prosecution rigidly
cross-examined these witnesses and' made
one of them, James Hnrkleroade of liar
bourvllle, admit that ho had been indicted
not loss than n dozen times for violations
of law.
The most Importnnt witness of the day
was Daniel It. Collier of Lancaster, adju
tant general of Kentucky under the Taylor
administration. Ho offered as testimony
tho written word of Governor Taylor
directing him to bring the regiments of
tho stnte guard to Frankfort after the
shooting of Governor Goebel and ordering
him to consult with tho civil authorities
nf Franklin county as to how to preserve
peace there. This was tho flrst appearance
of tho document, which was not mndo u
part of the stato record, and Judge Cant
rcll ruled It out as Incompetent on the
objection of the prosecution that It was
not in accordance, with the statutes of the
state, not directing Collier to place the
military under direction of tho civil au
thorities. Tho case of George F. Weaver, the wit
ness charged with perjury, was called In
tho county court hero today nnd set for
hearing on the 22d. Weaver Insisted that
he Is Innocent of the charge.
Confession of lllek Comlis,
Tho purported confession of "Tallow
Dick" Combs, one of the alleged conspir
ators arrested hero today, was at first de
nied by him, but later he admitted to one
of tho attorneys that It is partially cor
rect. Tho confession, If true, throws no
further light on the case than to connect
Henry Youtsoy, another of tho alleged con
spirators, inoro closely with the murder
nnd to bear out tho Idea of a conspiracy,
a sum of money being used.
W. A. Phelps, also of Grayson Springs,
corroborated tho statement of Carter and
Identified Weaver, who was brought before
the Jury for that purpose.
At the opening of court In the Powers trial
today Frank C. Carpenter, the Louisville In
surance man, who was on tho witness stand
at the closing of court yesterday, was cross
examined by the prosecution. Tho examina
tion developed nothing very material and ho
waB followed by Sam II. Stone, former state
auditor, lie was asked by the defense
whether or not Witness W. II. Culton, who
was a clork in his otllce. had beun removed
because be had stolen $1,000 from tho stnte.
He said that such was the case and that he
removed Culton the day before he himself
retired. Tho prosecution objected to tho
question nnd the court resocved a ruling
on It. On cross-examination Captain Stone
said that he did not go before the grand
Jury and nsk the Indictment of Culton for
the defalcation.
Tho defense next called George L. Dan
forth of Louisville, who was with Witness
Carpenter In the state senate chamber at
the tlmo of tho shooting of Goebel. He did
not leave the grounds for thirty minutes
after tho shooting and soldiers bad not ar
rived on tho soene. C. II. Otbson of liar
bourvlllo camo next.
Golden Illniilnys Ilnll.
He was asked to tell of an allcgod occur
rence In a barber shop at Darbourvllle, when
Witness Wharton Golden displayed a large
roll of money. Rcfore the prosecution could
object tha witness answered that such a
thing had occurred. The prosecution asked
for the exclusion of the testimony and by
agreement tho witness stood aside to be
called later.
James Harkleroad, In whose barber shop
tho Incident Is said to hae occurred, was
called. Ho said that Golden told him on
tho day that Defendant Powers was arrested
that Powers was Innocent. Later Golden
came Into his shop and In his presence dis
played a roll of paper money to his brother,
Iko Golden, nnd said to him: "Don't you
know that a $100,000 reward fund Is being
circulated? '
On cross-examination tho prosecution at
tacked the credibility of the witness, bring
ing out that ho had been Indicted for the
Illegal salo of liquor.
Witness 'Gibson was recalled nnd
corroborated Hnrkleroad's testimony. J. L.
Butler of Hutler county followed Gibson on
tho fctand. He attended a meeting In tho
ofllce of defendant, Powers, some days be
fore the Bhootlng nt which the rnlslng of
monoy to iay tho expenses of the witnesses
was discussed. Sheriff Ilurton of Breckln
rldgo county there displayed some
cartridges and said tho gubernatorial con
test could best bo settled with them.
Powers told Ilurton that he must not talk'
in that way, he would rather give up his
otilco than cause bloodshed. Ho said Powers'
visit to Louisville on the morning of tho
shooting was to arrange for an excursion to
Frankfort from tho western part of the
state.
Witness nutler resumed nt tho opening
of tho afternoon session, but nothing of
Importance was developed.
Tho dofenae announced thnt several wit
nesses would be put on tho stand to nrovo
that the witness Weaver, Introduced by tho
prosecution and who testified that ho was
in Frankfort on tho day of tho shooting
i.f Senator Goebel, was at Grayson Springs
on that day. It first presented C. W. Car
ter. Ho said caver Installed tho otlleers
of n lodge of Woodmen of tho World at
Grayson Springs on January 30 and brought
tho lodge records to provo his statement.
Witness heard of the shooting at Frank
fort before noon on thnt day. Weaver was
walking along tho street with tho witness
whon ho received the news.
Denial by Tullow Dick."
CINCINNATI. Aug. 3. A Georgetown
Ky.. special says that Richard Combs, better
known aB "Tallow Dick." one of tho de
fendants In the Goebel murder case, has be
come suspicious that be is not receiving
fair treatment from his co-defendants nnd
that ho has had an Interview with at
lorncys for the prosecution, In which he
said that he wants Mason Hnckersmlth as
a witness, Ho says Hockersmlth has been
spirited away nnd that the attorneys for
tho other defendants will do nothing to find
him. He asserts that Hockerumlth told
him that Henry Youteey offered him $1,200
to kill Goebel and showed him how It could
he done through a window In the ofllce of
the secretary of state. Ho said Ilocker-
umllh nftWivl flmi. tn rnnsldr And .tattAil
Combs' advice. He told Hockersmlth to
have nothing to do with It. They were
talking on the subject when the fatal shot
was fired.
A Times-Star special from Georgetown,
Ky., says its correjpondent called
on "Tallow Dick" Combs today and
asked him concerning the published
statement attributed to him that he
had said Mason Hockersmlth had told him
that he (Hoc kersmith) had Icon offered
$1,200 to kill Goebel nnd thnt the statement
was mado In tho presence of an attorney
for tho prosecution because he felt that he
was not being treated fairly by his co
defendants. Combs denied having made
tho statement, nnd whon tho report, ns
published, wns read to Comb, he repeat
edly said It was false. He said he did talk
with the attorney nnd others, but ho
thought tho purpose wns to get ball for
him, as his own attorney was trying to
get ball. When asked specifically if he
said to them thnt Mason Hockersmlth told
him ho had been offered J',,200 to kill
Goebel, Combs answered emphatically that
It was a He, that bo had never said such
n thing. Ills denial of tho printed story
wns emphatic.
COUNTRY'S STOCK OF GOLD
Director of the Mint Itnlicrtn MnkliiK
In vrMluiitloiiH for Mitllstlenl
Purpose.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. Mr. Roberts, th
director of the mint, in speaking today ot
the probablo modification of the present es
tlmnto of the stock of gold in the country,
Bald:
"Some modification of the estimate doubt
less will be made, ns tho rfiiult of an ex
tensive Inquiry that is being mado by this
bureau and by Mr. Muhlemnn of the New
York subtrenmiry, but the reduction will be
small as compared with the stock. The
original basis of tho treasury estimate In a
computation mndo by Dr. Llmlerman, di
rector of tho mint In 1873. Gold was then at
n premium nnd not In general circulation.
He took the amount In tho treasury nnd In
national banks and added $20,000,000 for
circulation on the Pacific coast, nnd $10,
000.000 for tho holdings of other banks nnd
honrdrt, In all, $135,000,000.
"To this hns been added each year the
coinage nnd the Imports of domestic coin
nnd etlbtracted tho coinage, the exports nml
an estimated sunt for consumption In tho
arts. Tho result Is the current estimate.
"Tho gold In tho treasury and In the
national bulks comprint the only part
stock thnt cun be actually counted. At the
time of tho last reported statement by the
national banks, April 20, 1000, their hold
ings wero $105,700,872. Tho treasury hold
ings May 1 wero $I20,9S9,371, the two Items
aggregating $622,750,213. The intlmato for
May 1 was $1,013,525,117, which left $420,
000,000 to bo accounted for as held by state
and prlvato banks, trust cnmpanlCH nnd In
safes, pockets and hoards. This Is the sum
subject to modification.
(old Curried Out liy Trnvelers.
"No account has been taken In the past
of gold carried out of the country on the
persons of travelers. It being areumed that
thero wns little of It and that nil but nn
appreciable amount woh returned by In
coming travelers. This year the bureau has
mado n systematic effort to learn what this
movement nmounted to by Inquiries ad
dressed to tho Hteaniflhlp lines, money
changers at tho principal ports and our
officers nbroad. Tho reply IndlcntCM that
the gold carried out finds Its way through
bankers to tho principal banks of Issue In
the several countries. A well-known tour
Ifit agency receives from travelers from
$100,000 to $160,000 per year and turns It
Into the Rank of Englnnd. About $75,000
per annum Is melted at Geneva aud in nil
a not losn of $600,000 to $SOO,000 Is Indi
cated. At the latter rato In twenty-live
years tho total would bo $20,000,000, a sum
that should bo taken account of, An effort
has boon made to arrlvo at the present con
sumption of coin by manufacturers, Jewel
ers, dentists and others In the Industrial
arts. Inquiries havo been addressed to
about 45,000 firms and Individuals nnd re
plies have been received from 70 per cent
of them. Tho returns Indicate a total con
sumption of about $3,500,000.
"In tho report of 1893 tho bureau estimate
was never lesa thnn this amount, and since
1893 It has been placed at $1,500,000. The
reduction seems to have been an error. An
additional allowance of $2,000,000 per year
for seven years would require correction of
$14,000,000.
nstlmnte Too I.nree ! 9100,000,000.
"Mr. Muhleman of tho Now York sub-
treasury has been a diligent student of tho
subject for years and Is of tho opinion that
owing cnielly to errors mado prior to 1885
tho estimate Inn been too lurge by perhaps
$100,000,000. Ho attacks Dr. Llndermnn'3
original cstlmato and argues that It was
$29,000,000 too high, nnd ho has recently
mado an exhaustive Investigation of Im
ports nnd exports of coin nnd bullion since
1873. Hy checking these from other sources
of Information ho Is led to believe that at
times bullion and foreign coin havo been
reported as domestic coin, which would
enrry error Into tho estlmato of coin
stock. He thinks those errors In reported
exports nnd Imports may have increased
tho estimates by as much as $45,000,000.
Mr, Muhlemnn's tnbles are very elaborate
and will requiro considerable tlmo for ro-
view. Somo of his corrections doubtless
will be accepted and the amount finally
deducted from the previous estimate, ns
a result of tho revision, probably will ho
between $50,000,000 nnd $100,000,000, In my
opinion there should bo a much more ex
tended Inquiry before tho figures are Anally
fixed upon, ns tho result of Investigation
will bo tho basis of calculations for a long
time to come, Theso changes spread over
tho estimates for twcnty-flvo years nnd
chiefly prior to 1S85 signify nothing as to
the avallnblo resources of tho country.
They niter the calculations ns to the hid
den hoards, but they arn not a part of tho
active stock nnd are not oven nvallablo In
time of need, for hoards Increase Instead
of decline at such n time. Reductions do
not niter tho figures of our Block In recent
years, but rather emphasize thera, for tho
additions nro mndo larger in proportion to
tho total stock. The estimate, of tho stock
on August 1 Inst was $3,033,518,802, and If
tho entire $100,000,000 was deducted tho
stock would remnln CO per cent above what
it was four years ago.
"Tho inquiry ns to tho exact Btock Ib of
valuo for statistical and comparative pur
poses, not for tho purposo of determining
whether or not tho country has gold
enough. Tho country, on the gold basis,
gets tho sharo of tho world's gold which Its
proportion of the world's business brings
It. That sharo Is controlled by tho laws
of trade, not by governmental regulation.
An Inquiry Into what share each country
holds is like an Inquiry Into what amount
of a man's blond enters Into tho right arm
It may bo depended upon that It Is tho right
amount-whlch that mombor requires. Our
great gain In gold In recent years has come
because we could uso It nnd our position In
tho world's trade has enabled us to com
raand It."
