It was telegraphed by Secretary Hay

in the diplomatic chamber mainly for
the purpose of exchanging congratula

changed by this important develop

Hay transmitted it to all our ambas

London, July 21. Sir Halliday Ma
cartney, counsellor and English secre
tary to the Chinese legation in

admitted that the legation was in re

to disclose. He added: "You may take
it that on July is. the date of the
Conger message, all the legations and
Europeans in Peking were safe.
"I cathiot say why the other minis

questions asked by Attorney Kelly and
once informed tho court that "Mr.
Kelly is trying to raiko a"monkeyof
me." ,

in withdrawing the suit. He said his

unreasonable demand when she aHied
her husband to support her "and said
he did not know that she was breaking
any section of the criminal cnle when
she visited her husband at his otiice.
EIo informed Mr. Iluckins that he
knew of no remedy unless he appealed
to a court of competent jurisdiction for
an injunction restraining his wife from

were thirty-seven counties r. -presented,
with 3H2 delegates present.
There was at times considerable en
thusiasm. Candidate Wharton Barker

conducted in an ordorly manner and

been struck down by fusion a few years

POWERS IS HARD HIT.
Sensational Testimony In Ken
tucky Murder Trial.
HE AEEANGED TO CAPTURE TBAUTS
And Talked of "Doing the Wave" for
Goebel "and Those Other Fel
low s" Finley Was Shaky.
Georgetown, Ky., July 21. The
most sensational testimony yet given
in the trial of ex-Secretary of State
Caleb Powers was given yesterday by
Kobert Noaks, a Louisville and Nash
ville railroad conductor of Corbln,
Whitley county. The manner of the
witness and the ease and accuracy
with which he detailed events was
such as to make a deep impression on
the siK'ctators. During the testimony
against him the first that has so far
boon brought out directly connecting
Powers with the assassination the de
fendant did not change color. At no
time since the trial, whether the evi
dence was favorable or otherwise, has
Powers changed expression more than
to smile occasionally when things were
going his way or to flush barely per
ceptibly on other occasions.
l'u wer Would Capture Trains.
Xoaks swore that he had a talk
with John L. I'owers, who said: " This
is a life and death struggle with us,
but we intend to hold our own even if
we have to -kill some one.' I formed
a company and Governor Bradley sent
a man who mustered the company In."
On Jan. 12 witness received a message
from Caleb I'owers, who asked him to
take his company to Frankfort. Pow
ers said it had been arranged to cap
ture train No. 8, of the Cumberland
division, and train No. 20, of the Knox
ville branch, to take the men to Frank
fort. It was Intended to send 1,500 In
all. 'Dn the nights of Jan. 22 and
23 Charles Pinley wakened me up. Fin
ley was not satisfied with the arrange
ment for going to" Frankfort," and op
jHjsed capturing trains. He warned me
to take no part In It, and said he would
go to Itarbonrville and try to get Tow
ers to abandon such plans."
Thought Finley Too Shaky.
Witness said Finley "went to Louis
ville, saying rather than capture trains
he would pay for them himself. That
day a telegram from Ixuisvllle asked
ff Finley's check was good for $1,000.
Caleb Powers then said: "Finley waa
getting to d d shaky."
WHAT TOWERS SAID OF GOEBEL,
One Not Seem to Itava Kx pressed Any
Love for Him.
"Did I'owers ever say anything to
yon alKnit GoebclV"
"Yes; he was on my train one day
and said: The contests won't amount
to a d n, and when Goebel is dead
and in h 11 there Is not another man
in the state who can hold his party to
gether.' Finley sent us the train from
Louisville which carried the men Jan.
. At Iiichnicnd Culton got on the
train and told us when we arrived at
Frankfort we should say we were go
ing to petition the legislature. I told
the boys to carry their guns as natur
ally as if hunting and not in military
position. After Ave got to the state
house John I'owers told me to stand
closer. to the executive building, as i
night get hurt. He said: 'Some of our
n.en are upstairs, and when Goebel
and those other fellows come in they
are going to "do the wave" for them.'
"I told him this must not be done. He
told me to keep cool. I went back into
the secretary of state's office. Caleb
Powers said: 'Pob, I understand you
have two men in your company who
would kill a man if you wanted them
to do it.' I told him I did not believe I
had such a man and he mentioned
Chadwell and Jcnes. I told him I did
not believe they were men of that kind.
That afternoon when the men were be
ing sent home Caleb Powers again told
me to keep ten or twelve of our best
men. and to keep Chadwell and Jones.
My military compauy was taken with
inc. They wore citizen's clothes with
their uniforms under them. We were
told by Powers to do this so we would
be readv for military service.
"W. if. Culton told me that I must
keep six of my men under arms all of
the time. 1 went to Assistant Adjutant
General Dixon and told him I wanted
to turn over my company, as I had be
come satisfied they were going to seat
Goebel as governor and I did not want
to serve isrder him. Dixon told me
not to be discouraged, as Goebel would
nut be governor. I was tired and asked
I'owers how long this was going on. He
said not much longer, as Goebel would
be killed and that would settle it. That
morning I checked two large pistils
and a rifle for Perry Howard. Yea, I
saw oGveiror Taylor that morning. I
went into his office and took my pistols
off and put them iuto a book case. I
passed some words with him at that
tin.o."
The term "do the wave" Is that of
the witness and It was not defined In
the evidence.
