Jury, find the defendant guilty and fix his
punishment at confinement In the peniten
tiary for tho rest of his nuturut life."
ThlH wus the wording of tho verdlrt In
the case of ex-Secretary of State Caleb
J'owers, charged with being un accessory
before the fact to tho murder of tho late
tlovcrnor Ooobcl. The Jury retired at 1:32
o'clock this afternoon and returned Its ver
dict at 2.25, having been out only tlfty
three minutes.
Juror Craig stated afterward that the
"rdlct could have been returned sooner,
1ml. considerable tlmo was taken up read
ing the Instructions. The vote In f.ivor ol
life sentenco was unanimous. When the
Jury retired the belief was general that
they would fall to agree and In this opinion
tho defense was firmly confident.
When the verdict was returned Towers,
for tho llrst time during the weary six
weeks of the trial, betrayed his feelings
Under all of tho trying Incidents of tho
trial ho had maintained a changeless ex
pression, the sumo whether things were
going favorably or ngulnst him.
1'iMvrm Durcil li- Verilli-I.
Tho verdict of guilty, however, appar
ently staggered him. He was sitting near
the door of the Jury room and when the
Jury knocked on the door summoning the
herlff, his faeu took on an anxious look
that was noticeable, but did not seem to
be particularly apprehensive. When tho
twelve men filed Into tho room and took
their seats ami Clerk I'enn called tho roll
of Jurors tho prisoner did not appear to
lip moro excited than tho vast throng of
Hpectators who craned Ihelr necks to catch
the first Intimation of the verdlrt.
"Have you made a verdict, gentlemen?"
Inquired the court.
"Wo have," the Jury replied, and at tho
amo tlmo Mr. Stone, thu foreman, passed
the verdict up to tho clerk, who read It
nlottd.
I'owers, always palo, grew ghastly as the
erdlct was read and his face betokened
great mental anguish. This was only tor
a fow seconds, however, and then regaining
bis composure he turned to tho Misses
Dangorttcld, who had been in conversation
'with him, and said. "I was not expect
lng that; the verdict Is unjust."
Thoro was no demonstration following the
verdict and tho vast crowd tiled out of tho
court house almost In silence.
"Will ,hk for Ni'iv Trlnl.
Powers remained In the court room for
some tlmo after the verdict was rendered
In conference with his attorneys, who will
nt onco move for n now trial, and falling
in that will tako an appeal.
When tho Jurymen entered tho Jury room
.luror Stone, tho oldest mini on tho panel
was elected foreman.
Juror Torter, the only republican on the
Jury, tho first to speak, said: "Oenllcmen
1 uni a republican and 1 have said I did not
bellevo Cloebel's murder was tho remit of
a conspiracy. I did not think Caleb Pow
ers could bo guilty, but I havo heard th
ovldeneo and 1 am convinced that ho Is."
Others talked and said they thought the
death penalty ought to bo Inflicted. When
the ballot was taken all twelve of the Jurors
voted for llfo Imprisonment
Tho Jury was composed of eight denuc-ats,
threo nntl-Gochcl democrats and one repub
lican. One of the Jurors mid tonight that the
Jurymen woro inllucnced In making up their
verdict by many things In the evidence, but
that tomo of tho chief points were Powers'
own udmlbsion on tho stand that he organ
ised a crowd of 1,200 armed mountaineers
which came to Frankfort Jantlury 15, his
corroboration of parts of the testimony of
Noakcs, (.olden and Culton, tho proof that
ho gavo Voutscy tho key and that tho shot
was tired from his ofllce. It is doubtful
whether tho Youtsey case will bo tried,
though il will bo called Monday.
Voutnry I ltrporteil III,
Mr. Crawford of tho defense made a state
ment In court this afternoon that Youtsey,
m-tordlng to tho advlco of his physician. Is
still threatened with typhoid fovcr. Ono of
his attorneys, John M. Steventon, Is also 111
of typhoid fever, nnd Mr. Crawford said he
rould not say this afterucon whether the
defense will be ready Monday or not.
In tho event tho Youtsey case Is continued
cno of tho other cai-es, either Davis, Whit
nker or Combs will bo taken up.
Tho Inst day of the trial found tho court
house moro densely packed than ever, while
hundreds who applied for admission were
turned away. Commonwealth's Attorney
Franklin, who closed tho case for the stale
today, promised in ndvanco to not deal in
personal vilification and abuso which had
characterized the speeches of some of tho
attorneys
During tho presentation of tho caso b)
Mr. Franklin Powers sat, ns usual, wllh
Ills counsel and listened Intently to every
word of tho speaker as ho went through
tho evidence and held up to tho Jury tho
most Important points ng.ilnst tho defend
ant. He showed no traces of emotion.
Just behind him sat Mrs. Henry Youtsey,
wife of ono of tho alleged conspirators.
Arthur (iocbel occupied a scat with the
prosecution and Senator llnrblson, the
successor of (iocbel and his law partner, sat
In the rear of him.
Act'iKP I'tint-m of i'rcnsiiu.
Franklin said that tho state of facts
admitted by Powers showed him guilty of
treason, oven prior to tho murder of
Ooobel. Powers, though ho had taken an
oath when sworn In as secretary of state
that ho would uphold and dofond tho con
stitution and lawH of tho state, had con
fessed on tho witness stand that he and
those associated with him meant to defy
nt least ono of those laws and In further
ance of that design ho org.inliod a band of
braves for the purposo of Intimidation and
murder. When both the murder and In
timidation had failed In Its purpose Powers
nd others had tried to overthrow the
tato government. The spectacle of an ex
governor of tho btato (referring to Drown)
defending a man who had admitted as
much as Powers, he said, was both sur
prising nnd humiliating.
In conclusion Attorney Franklin bitterly
arraigned Powers for what ho termed his
conspiracy tn cover up his own crime and
let tho guilt fall upon Youtsey.
The argument was concluded at 11 :I0 a.
m. and Judge Cuntrll ndjourned court till 1
o'clock, when the cuso will bo given formally
Into tho hands of the Jury.

car ami arrived In Omaha over the North
western, leaving Immediately on tho Union
Pacific for the west. .
The visit of these railroad magnates to
the west at this time is asserted to bo
for the purposo of conferring with Presi
dent Hurt ami General Manager Dickinson
of tho t'nlon Paclllc relative oto tho es
tablishment of through transcontinental
jcrvico through Kansas City via the Alton
and Union Pacific lines.
At tho present time tho Alton runs a
through chnlr cor and sleeper from Chi
cago to Denver, closo connections being
tnndo ut Kansas Cty with the Union Pa
cific. It is reported to bo tho purpose now
to operate a through train from Chlcngo
to San Francisco, passing through Kan
sas city and Denver, via the Alton, Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific lines, the train
to be operated similarly to the through
service from Chicago to San Francisco
which passes through Omaha via the
Northwestern ami Union Paclllc lines. It
Is considered significant by some well In
formed railroad men that a party of high
Alton otllclals should seek n conference
with President Hurt of tho Union Pacific
so soon nfter the publicity given the re
port of she contemplated purchase of tho
Kansas City Denver lino of tho Union
Pacific by tho Alton. Whether them be
nny truth In this report or not. it Is n
generally recognized fact that the recent
election of W. D. Cornish to tho vice presi
dency of tho Alton, a position Identical to
that held by him on tho Union Paclllc, was
tho forerunner of closer relations between
tho two roads nnd thu Inauguration of
these relations seems to bo now under

Already Inquiries tiro being made of tho

Indications that travel between Omaha and

Iho effect tho low rates, which will bo op

of Chicago tickets has been exceptionally
light, and many who have intended to go
farther cast havo delayed their trips until
tho Grand Army rates should go Into effect,
thus giving thorn tho ndvuntago of a ma
terial rcduc.lon on a portion of the Journey.
As n consequents all castbound travel has

and that It will sooner or later be made,
following out tho precedent established
when the general agencies nt Denver and
Chicago were consolidated. As to tho con

Union Pacific officials who would reasonably
be expected to know express their Ignorance.

Troops In China.
General Adna It. Chaffee, who has crossed
tho Pacific to command the American forcej
In China, la the llerscrker of the American
army, says a writer In the New- York Her
ald. At Kl Caney. where he led the vlc
toiloiM chnrges against blockhouse nfter
blockhouse tn the teeth of a murderous
fire without a coat, the- Sp.mtnrd dubbed
him "The Man In Shirt Slccvej." And that
Is the way our leader In the war against
tho yellow races has fought tho battles of
his country for forty years. Disregarding
the danger, discarding the line raiment cf
his rank and only thinking of freedom and
case In the carnage ho Iovch better than
life, thli brnva commander lights among
his men.
Not wealth nor nodal connections nor
political limitations have aided Adna Chaf
fee, grim ami gray, alert and muscular, to
tho two-starred shoulder strap of tho major
general, for ho wus n plain son of plain par
ents and lived on a little farm In Central
Ohio until ho enlisted In the regular army
at the outbreak of the civil war. It has
taken lilm forty years of hard and brilliant
fighting agalimt coufederatis and Indian
and Spaniards to iUe, grade by grade, from
private to major general. And now he will
wage war for America against the cruel
Mongolian lloxcrx.
Ills contribution to the allied forces will
be tho knowledge and energy of a lighting
soldier (tucli as few countrifH could equal.
When the proposition was made, after Gen
eral Chaffee was half way across the ocean,
to place an ofllecr of higher rank In nominal
command over him the cabinet gave thought
to his ptcrlcss record and decided that "The
Man In Shirt Sleevc" was quite good
enough for the supreme command. He will
bo r.itbcd to tho full rank of major general
and at least three brtgadlertt will be sent
from Manila nnd from the homo land to
take his orders.

In July 1S01, an unadorned trooper In K

himself and wan made Bergeunt nnd after

when he was made a second lieutenant "for
bravery and meritorious conduct." On July
3 of the same year he was breveted by con
gress to a first lieutenancy "for gallant nnd
meritorious conduct at the battle of Get
tysburg." On March 31, 18S5, he wus com
missioned captain for gallant and merito
rious horvlrcs In the battlo of Dinwiddle
Court House, Virginia.
In nearly all the famous campaigns against
the redskins Chaffee was a prominent figure.
Ho was rewarded with tho major's rank on
March 7, IStiS, "for gallant and ertlclcnt
services In engagements against tho In
dians at Pnlnt Creek, Tex.," nnd beenmo
a lieutenant colonel on February 27, 1S90,
"for gallant services In lending a cavalry
chargo over the rough and precipitous bluffs
held by the Indians ou tho Hcd river, In
Texas, on August 30, 1S74, nnd gallant serv
ices in actions against the Indians at Dig
Dry Wash, lu Arizona, on July 17, 1S82."
In May, 1S98, came his appointment to
tho colonelcy of tl c Klghth cavalry and
with it that of biigadcr general of volun
teers for tho Spanish war. Ho was then
lieutenant colonel of tho Third cavalry.
Ho was promoted to tho rank of major gen
eral of volunteers In July. 1808, nnd hon
orably discharged from that grado In April,
1S9'J. Slnco then he hns held a commission
as brigadier general of volunteers. Ho
commanded a brigade and a division of the
Fifth nrmy corps In the Cuban campaign
nnd consequently u division lu tho First
nnd Fourth army corps. From December,
1S98. ho served as chief of staff to the gov
ernor general of Cuba and has recently
been on duty In the adjutant genoral'B of
fice In Washington.
Wounded nl Sniitluiio.
General Chaffee's wound at Santiago,
where a rlllo bullet pierced his foot, was the
third ho had received. Ho was shot at Get
tysburg and Chlckamauga. For his bril
liant, brainy nnd daring work naglust Com
anche, Apacho und Sioux ho wus four
times breveted by congress. Ho was with
Gencrnl Crook In Old Mexico In tho cam
paign which resulted In the surrender of the
famous old Apache chief, Gcronlmo, und his
band In 1SS.V
Despite hl activity In altnobt every In
dian campaign since tho civil war ho has
been Inspector general on General McCook'n
staff, stationed nt Los Angelta and In charge
of tho Cavalry School of Instruction at Fort
Itlley, Ka., at different times.
At HI Caney, where ho earned his pictu
resque sobriquet, "The Man In Slilrt
Slcoves," General Chnffco reeannoltered for
himself Instead of leaving this work to his
kcouIii and made himself t-n well acquainted
with tho disposition of tho onemy that his
attack carried all heforo It. After the bat
tlo the Immortal Lawion said of him:
"I consider General Chaffee one of the
bent practical soldiers In tho nrmy nnd I
shall recommend him for special distinction
for buccoisfutly charging the Htotio fort, the
capture of which practically ended the bat
tle." Wounded men at Montauk Point spoke
glowingly of Chaffee, oaylng:
"When he was wounded at Santiago he
never left tho Held, but kept right on nfont,
lu great suffering, but moro Intent on the
fighting than ho was on tho wound. He
was always at tho front nnd his presence
was nn Incentlvo to the men of hit? brigade."
In his book, "Tho Santiago Campaign,"
Genoral Jtuoph Wheeler writes of Chaffee:
"General Chaffee is a superb Koldler. He
has spent mom of his life In tho military
service and Is thotoughly familiar with the
business."
One of tho surviving Spanlnh officers after
HI Caney, a member of the staff of General
Vara dtl Itey, had this to fay on Chaffee's
charge on tho stono fort:
"I havo never seen anything to equal the
courage and dash of thoiio Americans who.
stripped to tho waist and led by the man
tn shirt slc-cvce, were oftcrlng their naked
breasts to our murderoim lire, literally
throwing themselves on our trenches on the
very muzzles of our guns."
Henry Cabot Lodge, in his book about
tho Cuban campaign, describes I'l Caney ns
follows:
"Thcro docs not nppcar to have been nny
rceonnnlterlng dono at nil except by Gen
eral Chaffee, who, with the skill and cool
ness of nn experienced Indian lighter, ex
plored tho ground In front of his com
mand thoroughly, even to thu Spanish lines
nt Kl Cnuey, a vllluge lying toward the
northeast of Santiago, nnd vory strongly
defended by blockhotibos and a fort.
"It was at this point Dually that it was
determined to make an attack und this
was ho far, as can be Judged, the only oper
ation that was planned beforehand. All
tho rest of the lighting which cutucd came
about largely by chance.
"The movement at HI Caney was In

Ludlow-- brave skillful and gnllnni sol
