AMERICAN SHARE OF THE LOOT

NKW YORK. Oct. 10.--A special to the
Times from Washington says: The Atner
Icuu share of tho loot ai Tien Tsln Is larger
than at first reported. It, has been un
derstood that all tho Anieiicauu took uftar
tho capturo of Tien Tsln was gold amount
ing In valuo to $27S.u00. This report nroso
from tho fact that LI Hung Chang naked
(Icncral Charted to restoio thnt sum to tho
Chinese government. It now appears that
this $278,000 was only the value of gold
coins and gold bars taken from tho Chinese
treasury at Tien Tain, and apparently It
was only tho money taken from tho treasury
which concerned Lt Hung Chang ns a gov
ernment oniclal. Things of value were also
obtained from other sources, and It Is now
reported that the total valuo of the loot
will reach u llguro about $100.0011 In evens
of tho amount originally reported. Tho
gold rain and gold bars taken from the
treasury were melted by order of Ocueral
Chaffee.
Nothing Is yet known about similar seiz
ure In Pekln or at points along the line
of march. Tho totarselzures will probably
bo very high.
LI Hung Chang's request for the $27S,OO0
taken from tho treasury has received no
roply.
Thoro la considerable doubt about whether
tho United States Is entitled to keep this
gold, whatever Its amount may dually be
datcrtiiluod to be, becauao this government
Jiaa beon proceeding on the theory that no
war exists In China. Nevertheless It Is
extremely unlikely that the gold will ever
bo returned to China, even that part of It
ldotitltled and claimed by Li Hung Chang,
lt may not be held ns spoils of wnr, for
tho reason given, but it will piobably he
held as part payment of the indemnity
which America will demand. U will cer
tainly not bo returned until the peace nego-
flntl.i.iu MIM rntl.'lll.llkil tint will .,. fln.il '
decision about whin to do with It be made

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16. Confirmation
lias been received hero of tho execution on
July 20 of Chang Yen Hoon, tho former
Chinese minister to tho United States.
Chang was u loyal adherent of the emperor
aud a warm supper) or of tho lalter's re
form movements. When Ihe empress dow
ager supplanted the emperor two years ago
ho was ordered lo be beheaded, hut lu
strad ho wus banished to the province
of Nobrndoo Later through tho
Intervention of the American aud Brit
ish ministers his punishment was iom
niuted to banishment In the province of
Kashgarln. II now appears that the em
press dowager, taking advantuge of the late
reign of terror at Pekln and knowing
Chang's Influence with the emperor, ordered
his execution by decapitation. Chang was
considered by those familiar with Chinese
nftulrs as one of the ablest men In China.
Ho had been decorated by tho queen of
Great Britain and by the emperors of Rus
sia and Gernnny; he was pre-eminently the
most liberal and enlightened nf Chinese
statesmen nnd had his life been spared
until the occupation of Pekln by the allies
he doubtless would have been reculled and
would havo taken nu active part In the
future of China.

The British ambassador, being Informed
from London of the basts of negotiations

of foreign nrfnlrs), called . meeting of the

appreciation was expressed of Franco's

United States Minister Conger alone raised
au objection, not ugalnut the propositions,
but against the method ot procedure. Mr.
Conger deemed that tbo French propositions
would have to lie imputed upon tho Chl
nnse during the negotiations. While, these
propositions ate formulnted as being tho
basis of negotiations, different ministers,
among others the British and Italian, pre
sented certain demands, especially the re
placement of the tsuug II yamen b a min
ister of foreign affairs and posting for two
years of the decree concerning the punish
ment of the Instigators ot the iintl-Curopean

by all ministers.

ST. PHTKUSBUlUi, Oct. IS. The Russian
government permits 11 to become known
that its attitude In China will be Increasing
Indepemlorce of tho concert of the powers.
Russia, It Is explnlned, Is disposed to at
tach less value to Joint action since Its
Interests have been fully second by the
successful campaign lu Manchuria. More
over Russia Is not willing to "follow the
irreconcllablo policy of somo of the pow
ers." The expectation, tho publication adds, Is
that the ChlncEo government Is about to
utilize all Its resources of duplicity to keep
tho powers occupied with vain negotiations
nnd proposals anil the dispatching of notes
to gain time until the winter, counting on
the rigor of the cllmato to ptevent military
operations and allow- Chlnn to gather its
resources for a spring campaign.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lfi. The cable dis
patch fron' St. Pertersburg Indicating that
Russia's attitude In Chiiu will be independ
ent of the concert of tho powers caused
no surprlso among ottkiala here. It was
noted when tho aggresslvo military move
ment was begun by Uermany and the ex
pedition against Pao Ting Fu started that
Russia was among tho powers which did

II. A. Hofiman. St. Louis, statistical secre
tary. The church was subjected to n sharp
arraignment for Its neglect of tho cities
and failure In this respect lu comprehend
Us true mission In tho world. F. W. Nor
ton of Niagara Fulls, ouo of the spenliera
on the subject of "City Kvnngellzatlon,"
boldly declared that Ihe theological con
troversy and dogma and creed had crowded
out tho gospel.
"Theological controversy." said Mr. Nor
ton. In the course nf his remarks, "has
usurped the place of tho gospel, and the
world hns looked first lu wonder, than in
doubt and disgust at tho spectacle of fol
lowers of Christ engaged in a common
cause discussion. Thn simple saving tiuths
of Ihe gospel havo been hidden behind tri
dltlon. creed and dogma until Christ Illm-
I self could scarcely he recngni'ed in Hie
house of Ills friends.
, "The plea for Christian unity was never
more needed thnn It Is today. A united
church would restore prestige and power.
It would stop the mouth of cavil am! ridi
cule. The need In cities today Is a church
organized on such a simple basis that tho
churchly Idea Is largely lint sight of In
the idea of (irlstlaii brotherhood."
Mr. Norton's remarks were applauded.

In the court room could tell, he never ut
tered s. word all dny.
He wns the unconscious ncinr In another
realistic scene this afternoon when he wns
brought into the court room, proper, lying
on his bed. His eyes and mouth wete
slightly losed and ho looked every whll
a dead in. ut when Colonel Nelson, his law
yer, In a loud voire asked him how old
ho was and where he lived.
The defense presented some sttong testi
mony contradictory of the prosecution wit
nesses and say they have something
stronger for tomorrow', when they expect
to rest their ease.
Jim Howard will go on the stand and
swear that Youlsey did not let hlni In
Powers' ollleo that morning and that he
was not even In the building. Youlsey's
symptoniH have been worse todav. Ills
temperature Increased and his pulse was
greatly accelerated. Tho physicians think
he Is lu nn Immediate danger, but a sud
den change for the worse may come nt
any time. Jim Howard, who will be taken
from prison tomorrow to testify In tho
Youlsey ease, was visited today at Frank
fort by N. II. Wllherspoon, Toutsey'b
brother-in-law. and Attorneys Owens and
Flnticll. They held a long conference with
Howard.
Wharton Golden was the first witness to
tnko Ihe stand. Golden said he never told
Rev. John Stumper nor Mrs. Stamper that
he was to get $:,,000 for his testimony, nor
that if ho could see Colonel Campbell be
could get J10.00U. He denied all the state
ments attributed to him by Hie Stampers,
L. F. Slnelnlr nnd others.
W. H. Culton was recalled and ngnin de
nied tolling Charles Reynolds that he had
a contract for Immunlt), nor had ho told
one Chlpley that Wharton Goben lind got
ten tin m nil In this trouble.
Arthur M. Goebel wns recalled and in
answer to a question from Colonel Nelson
said ho had never testified In any of these
eases until yesterday.
Lieutenant John Rlcketts said he remem
bered iieelni: Youtsey some days aflur the
shooting talking to Captain Bennett und
when Youtsey walked nwny he (Rlckells)
asked Bennett who Youtsey was. On cross
examination he said he knew Youlsey's
face an being the man he had seen aud
talked to before, but did not know his
name.
To Contradict (jneliel.
The witnesses were Introduced to lay a
foundation for contradiction, nnd when their
examination was concluded, Colonel Craw
ford h.vlu tho t'tut atu.uii ,o the Jury fu: (lit-,
defense. Ho said they would prove that 11
Is Impossible to hear In tho barber shop of
tho executive building a person run down
tho stono steps Into the basement: thnt
Youtsey appeared outside of the building too
soon after the shot was fired to have had
anything to do with the shooting; that Yout
sey stoppeil In Ihe barber shop on his way
out and talked to Attorney Short; that Cul
ton and Golden had told too many contra
dictory stories to he believed about any
thing. In closing he said Ihe testimony of
Arthur Goebel was either prompted by his
Imagination or was perjury: that Youtsey
had told thn truth on Tuesday night when he
snid he had never spoken to Arthur Goebel:
that he (Crawford) aud Colonel Nelson
would swear that lu a room at the Cnpltal
hotel Arthur Goebel had said that ho wanted
to know what Youtsey knew about the trag
edy; that Arthur Goobel said: "You hnvo a
pig in a bag I want to see the pig beforo
we trade."
Tho defense, after consultation, moved to
dlschargo the Jury and continue tho case,
becauso tho defendant was still unconscious
nnd In a worse condition thnn before. Judgo
Cantrlll overruled the motion.
Tho defense asked that Youtsey be called
as n witness. The deputies and guards
brought Youtsey In on his bed and set It
down In front of tho Jury. Colonel Nelson
asked Youtsoy several questions, hut got no
sort of response, tho defendant lying as one
dead on his bed.
"We can get no response from the wit
nobs." suld Nolson.
"Very well, let him sland aside," suld the
Judge, and the bed was cnrrlod back to the
Jury room.
Colonel Nelson mado another motion to
discharge the Jury because the defeiutint
was not really In court facing his accusers,
but simply an unconscious body. Tho J nose
tnld thn law provided thnt before ho could
discharge the Jury tho defendant mutt bo
adjudged a lunatic.
Denounced hy Ills Sister.
Mrs. Mnttie Stamper, sister of Wbnrtou
Golden, said shu heard Golden say hu was
to got $S,000 for his testimony and that
ho made a confession lu order to save
his neck and Governor Taylor's.
C. O. Reynolds and D. II. Walcutt of
Frankfort swore that Culton told them
that ho had a contract with the common
wealth to secure Immunity.
Porter Thompson, sr., and Porter
Thompson, Jr., said they passed through
the executive, halls a few minutes bufore
the Hliot, hut saw no men lu tho hall.
John W. Davis, one ot those Indicted with
Culton. corroborated the Thompsons.
Rev. T. Cody said Goldeu told him
he confessed to save himself.
Stewart B. Stone of Lexington, who
acted as Governor Taylor's stenographer,
saw Youtsey on January 27 In tho recep
tion room next the governor's ollleo with
a gun, looking out of tho window, but that
It excited no cmnmnnt becauso everybody
was excited and expected trouble.
James Chlpluy of Scott county said
Culton told him that Wharton Golden had
caufOil nil nf them to got Into trouble
hecnuso Golden wanted a pari of tho $100,
ooo" L. F. Sinclair of Georgetown said Gol
den told him that Youtsey nnd Culton
were fools for talking, as they would get
nothing for talking. Court adjourned un
til tomorrow.
