COMMUNICATION COMES FROM CONGER llrllrvril Mint the All vice In Atltl rcnscil In ft nine of tlie I'rnposllloiis Cnii tnlurtl In tho Fronoli .Note nml t'onntor 1'roposnls Mnilr, WASHINQTOX, Oct. IS. For tho first time In threo days Minister Conger was heard from at tho State department today. He communicated by cable the substance, of certain propositions advanced by' l'rlnco Chlng and 1.1 Hung Chnng as a basis for tho conduct of negotiations for it settlement of tho Chinese trouble. The Chinese gov ernment already has prepared tho way for thesis by n prollmlnary action looking to wnrd tho punishment of Chinese oiTlclals guilty of complicity In the Boxer uprising nnd, while tho text of Mr. Conger's com munication is not uia'do pi'blle. It 1b bo lleved that the latest Chlnesn advice Is ad dressed to some of the propositions con tained In tho French note, being In tho na turo or counter proposals and proceeding upon tho theory that. What hns been done In tho matter of punishments Is sufficient to meet the demnuds from tho powers In that respect. Minister Wu called at the Slnte depart ment today by appointment and had a long conferenco with Secretary Hay. The sec-' retnry previously had spent nn hour with tho president at tho White House, pre sumably In tho consideration of Mr. Con ger's communication,, and It Is belloved that Mr, Wu was called to tho department to throw light upon some ot .tho detailed propositions. It was. learned nt the Stato department that Mr. Conger's previous Instructions fit him perfectly to deal with tho new phase of the Chlnoxo situation developed by tho general acceptance of tho French nolo as tho basis for present notion. Yesterday M. Thlcbault, tho French charge here, called at tho State department nnd proposed to tho socrutary tho Immedlato Institution r.t Pekln of negotiations for a settlement, and It appears that the socrotary then agrcod to do his part. His promise was mndo verbally and It may not be reduced to writ ing nt nil. but Mr. Conger is alroady acting In conformity therewith. Most of tho pow ers have accepted tho French noto with reservations, but it is said that they all agreed upon n suniclent number of poluta of the first magnltudo to warrant "tho as sembling ot the diplomatic body at Pekln to begin tho work of formulating objects of common desire, and reconciling dlvergen; views. It Is probable that to this body .will bo referred tho latest Qhlncso counter proposition received today by cable from Mr. Conger.

Tho Times, whose Pekln correspondent, Dr. Morrison, describes tho tono of tho Joint noto of.

To whatever cause this attltudo Is duo It Is a bail augury for the progrcsa of tho negotiations, which can not bo fruitful until China has been taught her place. M. Plnchon has given her tho answer her Impudence deserves.' Tho Shanghai correspondent ot the Times says: "Tho tnotal liau applied to the consul to nrrcst over 600 Chinese residing In foreign settlements on a charge ot con (.piracy. Those named Include several well Known Chinamen, whose only crlmo is that they possess progressive Ideas This demand Is slgnlllcant of tho growing lnlluenco of the nntl-toroign party.

NAVAL BASE IN PHILIPPINES All lint CoiiNtruclor llolixnn Ileitnrtl I n ii 1 1 ti II 117 Hiimilly nn (JootI nn SiiIiIk Hny, If .ot Hotter. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. Reports which havo reached tho Navy department nro to the effect that Sublg bay In tho Philippine Islands Is not a eultablo place for locating an oxtcnslvo naval station, coaling station or navy yards, owing to limited depth of water. Naval opinion has been divided for t.omo time as to tho rclatlvo merits ot Manila bay and Sublg bay. Tho Spanish government spent largo sums onl Sublg bny nnd It was thought to offer facilities su porlor to tUoso of Manila bay for a per manent naval headquarters. An inquiry as to tho rclatlvo merits ot this and bcvernl other points was instituted some time ago, nnd tho reports forwarded through the com pandor uf tho Asiatic station nro not favor- abla to Sublg bny, holding that It has dis advantages similar to thoso urged ugalnst Mauila bay.

It Is hoped thnt their condition will be Improved when new gas burners nro instituted In tho academy. Ho recommends moro time for drill regu lations. Thirty endets wcro found de ficient In their studies and wero dis charged. Ho' highly compliments the graduating clnss of this year, who were ready to tnko up their duties when Join ing the troops.

' Tho superintendent devotes the greater pnrt of his "rtport' to an earnest plen for the elevation o' tho standard of admission to West -Point .to which end ho suggests that tho secretary of war bo empowered to prescribe these requirements. Ho lays particular stress upon tho fact that tho cntranco examination nt present corre sponds closely fo the cducatlonnl qunllflcn tlous of pupils of' thJ public schools Just emerging, froin 'tho primary grades. Ac cording to tho commissioner ot education, pupils of nn nv.crngo ago of 14 years 6 months in tho public schools havo theso qunltllentlous. Yet tho nvcrngo ngo 'A tile, applicant to West Point Is above, nnd bays at that tlmo of life should bo equipped with high school education, Including sub jects which nro not now n part of the entrance examination at West Point, but which should be in tho future. ' Tho superintendent says It would be In a way advantageous to havo tho relations between arithmetic nnd algebra nnd geometry made tho namo ns now exists In tho public schools. Thero Is no desire that tho cn tranco examination should bo mndo more dlincult, but only that it should require what the public schools of tho country supply. HEALTH REPORT OF THE ARMY Surgeon (ioncrnl Sternberg Dlm-iititr Metllcnl ContlltloiiH In (he Phlllpplnex. WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. Tho report of Surgeon Gcnernl Sternberg, U. S.

The con. tract surgeons havo rendered excellent service, but 'the curgcon general thinks tho corps should, bo increased. Reference If mndo to 4he good woric tho army nurso corps has, performed.. Tho medical sta tistics In tho .report relate entirely to tho calendnr ijenr ISO!), and nothing Is given concerning; tho, statistics for 1900.

Tho surgeon general explnlns the condi tions In the Philippines ns follows: "Tho expnnuros, fatigues nnd excitement of n prolorgcd campaign arc responsible for tho largo sick report nnd tho relatively large death rate among the troops In the Philippines. However, tho opinion Is provnlent among our medical officers that In tlmo of peaco and doing only garrison duty tho sick rnto of tho army In tho Philippine islands would bo no higher than It ordinarily is In tho southern United States." Tho surgeon general has this to say on tho controversial subject of Insanity among tho troops: "In the army, regulars nnd volunteers, during the caleudar years 1S93 and 1899, thero wcro reported on the monthly reports of sick and wounded 347 cases ot Insanity, and 202 ot these cases, or 58.2 per cont, wero committed to the government hospital for the insane.

He said: "Arthur (Jocbel nnd I had n conference with Colonel NeUon nnd Colonel Crawford In the Capital hotel, ns slated by Colonel Nelson. "I gavo Colonel Nelson a copy of the state mont Youtbcy hnd 'mndo to mo nnd some questions thnt I wanted Youtsey lo answer. I told him thnt Youtsoy mndo n verbal statement to mo corresponding to the written ono I gnve them, but before any recommendations could be mndo to tho com monwenith's attorney ns to immunity that wo would like to hnve Youlscy answer the questions we (lied nnd make a signed state ment. "That was tho object of thnt conference, Tho paper 1 read from yesterday wns an oxnet copy of tho one I gnve Colonel Nelton nnd It hnslnot been chunged or nltcrcd one pnrllclo slnco thnt time." S. T. Pence of Frankfort, mannger of tho Hoard of Trade hotel, said ho was In tho hotel office when the shots wero fired that killed Goebcl and that Jim Howard was not there , Rev. T. J. Mnrksbury of Georgetown sntd ho hnd a conversation with Mrs. Mattlo Stamper In June, In which sho said she wanted to warn her brother, Wharton Golden, thnt a Inwycr named Leu Sinclair had boon talking lo her husband, John btampcr, nnd had hired him to swear against Golden; nnd If they put him on tho stand to swear ngalnst 'Whnrtoii she would mnko them sorry for it. Mr. Franklin was granted time to tele phono to Frankfort for several rebuttal witnesses who missed tho train this morn Ing. One witness for tho commonwealth tcatl (led this afternoon that he mndo thorough tests this week, nnd found that a man run nlng down the stono steps to the basement of tho cxecutlvo building could bo heard In tho barber shop. Juduc Cnntrlll'H IunI ruel loim. Tho ilcfcnso put on two witnesses who said they had tried It, and could not hour a man running down the steps. This closed tho testimony for both sides and about 3 o'clock tho Judgo reid tho Instructions to tho jury, the substance of which Is ns follows: First: If tho Jury believes that tho do fendunt shot Goebcl or aided or nbctted Jim Howard, Harry Howard, Dick Coombs or nnyono of them in the shooting, then ho Is guilty of murder. Second Thnt the testimony of accomplices nlono must not bo relied on to tho convict. Third Tho jury must believe tho de fendant guilty beyond n reasonable doubt beforo It ought to convict. Fourth The- Jury has the right to dis regard tho testimony ot nny witness whom It believes willfully nnd maliciously tostl fled falsely. John M. Stevens opened the nrgument for tho dofense. Ho said the testimony did not show even circumstantial evidenco sufficient to convict, but tho most thnt could bo snld was that some suspicious circumstances ex isted ns lo YoutEoy. He snld ho believed tho Jury thought John Illckctts wns a selr confessed liar nnd perjurer nnd that was the only way to describe him, and that RIckctts' improbable story had been contradicted, Impeached nnd set nt naught. Ho said the samo thing nbout Culton nnd Golden nnd charged them with accepting money to swear away the lives of their fellow men. In concluding he referred to Arthur Goe bel's testimony ns being fnlse, but said, ad mitting it wns true, then Youtpey had lied, for Berry Howard and Combs were proven to bo elsowhero than Youtsey said, and that Youtsey was not being tried for lying. Judgo James Askow next spoke for the defense. Ho said RIckctts was brought Into tho caso to testify In support of the moun tain view of the crimes; that Is, lo unload tho wholo thing on Youtsey to save the really guilty mountaineers. Youtsey was to bo tho innocent scapegoat of the real as sassin, He raid tho commonwealth hud pre sented no testimony at all that Youtsoy had fired the shot himself or that cither Jim Howard, llerry Howard, Dick Coombs or Harland Wbltakcr fired tho shot, thereforo tho defendant could not be found guilty cither of firing the shot or aiding or nbettlug the men named, nmj that It would not be fair to let six Jurymen who belloved he fired the Bitot vote for guilty nnd the other six, who believed ho aided somebody else to fire the shot, voto for guilty nnd then bring In a verdict of guilty. Ho said that but for tbo conditions In Kentucky now Youtsey would bo acquitted in n moment on the testimony produced. Tho first speech tonight was. by Victor F. Uradleysfor tho prosecution. Ho said If tho defenso had been deprived of Yout soy's advice and actual presence In this enso It was nobody's fault but his own, ns ho could not stand tho strain when tho evidence of his guilt began to.pllo up. Ilrndloy asked why tho defenso hnd not brought witnesses hero to Impeach Rlck etts, Culton nnd Golden, If they were tho dishonest men claimed by tho defenso, I.nvryern Alumni Come In IIIimtn. Judgo Askow closed nt 9 o'clock nnd Colonel Cnuipbcll begnn for tho prosecution, Ho suld Colonel Crawford, In his statement to tho Jury had sounded tho ltoyole of tho whole situation when ho said that ho "af fected n respect for the niero forms of Inw which ho did not feel;" that tho disregard of tho forms of law brought tho mountain army lo Frankfort to compel tbo legislature to do cblo their way nnd disregard of tho forms of law that caused (ioebcl'H murder. Later his words cnuscd1 n sonsntlon. Ho said be believed tho counsel for defense put Mrs. Stamper on tho stand knowing her story was untrue. When he snld thlu. Judge As kow end, loud enough to bo heart! all over tho room, "That's untrue." The Judge rapped for order. Colonol Campbell ro peuted his statement. "That's untrue," again biiIiI Askow, "Do you mean lo say that we know Mrs. Stamper wns going to tell an untruth V asked Colonel Nelton. "I Bald that as plainly ns I could," re plied Campbell. "Then I ny you Btate what Is absolutely false," said Nelson angrily, "Mr, Clerk, enter a fine of $20 agalns.1 Colonel Nelson and Issued a capias at once,"' said Judgo Canlrlll. Colonel Crawford started towards Camp bell, but when stopped by a deputy sheriff snld ho wus only on bis way to the clerk to fay Nelson's fine. A personal encounter was Imminent, but was averted by the prompt action of Judgo Cnntrlll and the sheriff. Campbell devoted much time to stating tho mauncr in which Culton was corrobo rated by tho very manucr In which the shooting wns done, for Culton said Youtsoy told him of tho plan to tiro from Powers' oftlco; corroborated by Youtsoy tunning through the basement right nflcr tho shooting; corroborated by Frank Johnson, who said Youtsey declined lo toll lilm whore ho was when tho shot was fired; corrobo rated by McKctizlo Todd, who saw Youtsey looking out tho window ot Powers' olllco on January 27 with tho curtain pulled down and tho window raised like It was on Jan uary 30, when tho shots wcro fired. Ho concluded at 11:15 and tho court adjourned. GOOD YEAR FOR PULLMAN SlecpliiK Cur Company Shown IIIk In eronno lu Ilunlnen nml .Net ICnriiliiKi). CHICAGO, Oct. IS.
