Mnny or the Aecased Are Promlnenft Kentucky Polllielana -A High State Official Indirectly Referred to na Acceuory, Thongb no Indict ment Has beeu Reported Against HIni Frankfort, Ky., April l?.Tho Frank lin county grand jury this afternoon returned indictments against ten per sons, charging them with complicity in the murder of William Goebel. The principal names are: Henry E. Yout sey, James Howard, Berry Howard, Harland "Whittaker and ' Tallow Dick" Combs, colored. Those indicted as ac cessories before the fact are Secretary of State Caleb Powers, Captain John T. Powers, ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley, W. H. Culton and F. Wharton Golden. In the Indictment relating to the al leged accessories three other men are Indirectly referred to as accessories, though no indictments were reported against them. They are Governor W. S. Taylor, Green Golden and Captain John Davis. Henry E. Youtsey, who is mentioned as the first principal, was a clerk in the office of State Auditor Sweeney. He formerly lived at Newport. Youtsey was first named in lhe case by Wharton Golden, the star witness for the prose cution at the examining trial of Caleb Powers. Jim and Kerry Howard are cousins and mountaineers of note in connection with the old How.ard feud. They were with the men alleged to have been brought here by the Powers brothers, Finley and others, on the "excursion of mountaineers." Harlan Whittaker lived in Butler, Governor Taylor's home county, and Is alleged to have been in the room in the executive building from which the shot was fired. Dick Combs, the negro, lived at Beat tyville and also came here with the mountain men. Caleb Powers is the Republican contostee for Secretary of State and John L. Powers, another of the defendants named as an accessory, is his brother. Charles Finley was Secretary of State under . the former Republican State administration, .hen W. O. Bradley was 'lovernor. Charles Finley is now in Indiana, having gone there just before the warrant charging him with complicity, was sworn out six weeks ago. W. H. Culton was a clerk in the office of Auditor Sweeney. Whar ton Golden was a member of the Tay lor State Guard, and claimed to turn State's evidence cn the stand in the ex amining trial of Caleb Powers when he recited what he claimed to be the inside facts relating to the alleged con spiracy to murder Goebel, and enough Democrats members of the Legislature to give the Republicans a majority. It is said that the Commonwealth will at once nolle the indictment against Gold en in consideration of his testimony. A DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE. The Legislature Overwhelmingly Democratic - A K accessor to Sena tor CnflVry Assured. New Orleans, April 17. The election to-day in Louisiana for members of the Legislature and full State ticket re sulted in a Democratic landslide. The ticket, headed by Auditor Heard, swept the State from one end to the other, and the Legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic. The vote was unusually light, owing to the excessive rainfall. To-day was the first election held un der the new legislation disfranchising the negro and the battle at the polls was fought almost exclusively by the whites. Three tickets were in the field, the Democratic, headed by W. W. Heard, the present State Auditor; the regular Republicans, headed by E. S. Reams, a New Orleans grocer, and the Fusion, embracing sugar planters in dependent Democratic and Populists, headed by Don Caffery, son of Senator Caffery. The Reams ticket cut no figure in the fight. The Democratic majority in the State will exceed 25,000, based on returns already in, and may reach 50,000. The Fusionists polled even a smaller vote than expected. In the city of New Orleans, between 18,000 and 20, 000 votes were polled and the Caffery ticket is beaten from 12,000 to 15,000. In Senator Caffery's district, which four years ago went strongly Republican, the Democrats were successful. The opposition to the Democrats has elect ed very few members of the Legisla ture, which is now more overwhelming ly Democratic than at any time since re-construction. The Legislature chosen to-day will elect successors to Senators McEnery and Caffery. The result to day insures the return of Senator Mc Enery and the election of Governor Murphy J. Foster to succeed Senator Caffery. The election was generally quiet. The State ticket elected to-day is as follows: Governor, W. W. Heard; Lieutenant-Governor, Albert Estoplnal; Secretary of State, John T. Michaels; Attorney-General. Walter Guion; Treas urer, W. S. Fraze. Superintendent of Education, J. V. Calhoun. Lahore, Punjab, April 17. That Great Britain's attitude towards Afghanistan in connection with Rus sian designs on Herat does not meet with approval at Cabul (the capital of Afghanistan), is proved by an auto graph letter published with the Ameer's consent, in which, after referring to the various rumors, he adds: "Now when Afghanistan is over whelmed on all sides, the British Gov ernment does not seem to take any in terest but enjoys the pride of aloofness and reserve. Whenever I have suggest ed a check to Russian aggression I have had no response from the Gov ernment of India, except the suggestion that Afghanistan might consent to the construction of railways and tele graphs. This is impossible, as the Afghans consider that such a step would mean their ruin. Notwithstand ing all these troubles I have proved for the past twenty-one years the firm ally of Great Britain. But now at the last moment I must inform my powerful ally the Government of India, that the present is the time for deeds and not for talk." "Prevention is the best bridle."

A Resolution to Have Bronie Medals Struck for Distribution Atnonar Certain Officers and Men of the North Atlnntie Squadron-The De bate on the Naval Rill in the House Drifts Into Politics Almost a Sen sational Scene. Washington, April 18. During almost the entire session of the Senate to-day the Alaskan Civil Code bill was under con sideration. In this connection Mr. Stew art, of Nevada, delivered an address of ; nearly three hours upon the mining laws of the United States and their relation to j the proposed amendment of Mr. Hans j brough as to the rights of alien locatera j of claims. Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota; Mr. Carter, of Montana, and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, discussed the pending amend ment at length, both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Teller being particularly vigorous in their denunciation of it. Mr. Hale reported from the Committee on Naval Affairs, a joint resolution, drawn originally by Mr. Mason, of Illi nois, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to have struck bronze medals for distribution among certain officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron, com memorating naval engagements between the forces of Spain and the United States in the waters of the West Indies and off the Cuban coast. The measure, which ap propriates -5,00O, was adopted. A resolution was passed directing the Secretary of War to inform the Senate how many inmates of the National Sol diers' Homes and insano asylums are col ored men or Indians. Mr. Hoar explained tne object was to ascertain whether there was a sufficient number of colored in mates to justify separate institutions. A resolution was offered by Mr. Gallin ger, calling on the Secretary of the Treas ury for the aggregate revenue derived from the tax on notes, bank checks, in surance policies, leases, mortgages, tele grams, express shipments and medicinal preparations. Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, suggested that as there was a desire to amend the war revenue act, the information should cover its entire operation. The resolution went over. An effort "was made by Mr. Money, of Mississippi, and several of his Democratic colleagues to obtain consideration for the bill to revive and amend an act to pro vide for the collection of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds In Insurrectionary districts within the United States and acts amendatory there of. The effort led to a long discussion as to the effect present consideration of the measure would have upon the Quay case and the unanimous consent that now ob tains with respect to that case. It was de veloped that strong opposition to the bill existed in the Senate;, Mr. Hale, of Maine; Mr. Chandler, of New Hampshire; Mr. Warren, of Wyoming, and others indi cating that the measure must be fully discussed. Mr. Hale declared that the bill, If pass ed, would subject the United States treas ury to a drain of p obably $150,000,000. He would therefore strenuously oppose its passage. Mr. Money challenged Mr. Hale's state ment, saying that the bill would take no such amounv from the reasury; that it in volved only $5,(i00,000, and that a trust fund, for which the measure provided, was the means of distribution to its prop er owners. Mr. Teller, of Colorado, as a friend of the bill, urged Mr. Money not at this time to press the measure, as some fur ther information was needed by the Sen ate before it acted upon the bill. The bill needed amendment, he said, but he thought it would be passed without se rious delay when understood by the Sen ate. Mr. Money then gave notice that he would call up the bill next Wednesday. The Senate then resumed consideration of the Alaskan Civil Code bill, Mr. Stew art addressing the Senate on the pending Hansbrough amendment, in opposition to any change in the mining laws of the United States. After some debate on the bill the Senate, at 5:25, adjourned. THE HOUSE. Washington April 18. The debate the Naval Appropriation bill, under on the five-minute rule, to-day drifted into poli tics and for a good portion of the after noon members fought hammer and tongs across the political aisle. The partisan rancor almost culminated in a sensational fcuene between Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, the champion of the Administration, and Mr. Williams, of Mississippi. Some of the Democrats began worrying Mr. Hawley, of Texas, by pointedly asking if the Pres ident had not cnanged his mind on the Porto Eican tariff question, and Mr. Grfs venor finally threw himself into the breach. Mr. Williams made an interruption that drew a sharp rejoinder from the Ohioan about the "unfair"' advantage taken by the Mississippian. This aroused the wrath of the latter, and after Mr. Grosvenor had concluded he made a stinging re sponse, in which he said parliamentary language would not permit him property to characterize Mr. Grosvenor's offense. Later Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed intention al affront, and there the matter ended. Some progress was made with the bill, but most of the controverted points went over. A motion to strike from the bill the contingent fund of $500,000 for the Navy Department, was defeated. A point of or der against the appropriation of $350,000 for the new Naval Academy at Annapo lis, was progressing when the House ad joirned. LARGE RAILROAD DEEDS FILED. Selma. Ala., April 18. Two large rail road deeds were filed at this place to-day. The Louisville and Nashville deeded to the Southern Alabama Railway Company the railroad from Selma to Pineapple, and from Repton to Flomanton, the con sideration being $998,741. The other deed was from the Southern Alabama Railway Company to the Louisville and Nash ville, the Pensacola and Selma railway and the Repton Gap railroad, for the consideration of $1,680,000. POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Raleigh. N. C, April 18. The postoflice at Chapel Hill. N. C, was burglarized early this morning. The safe was blown open and wrecked and damage done to other property about the room by the explosion. About one hundred and fifty dollars in cash and five hundred dollaJ In stamps were taken. The tools used were stolen from a shop nearby. The new postmaster had just taken charge. No Blue has been discovered as yet. ELECTION OF SENATORS - BIHATOR BCTXF.R ADDRESSES SEV ATE ON THE L ESTIOX. Senators Chandler, Ilonr and Pettus Defend tbe Committee on Priv ileges and Elections Tbe Removal to a Proper District or Persons In dicted In United States Conrts Tbe Alaskan Code Bill. Washington, April 16. During almost the entire session to-day the Senate had under consideration the Alaskan Civil Code bill. The amendment pro viding for the mining of gold along the beach in the district was perfected, af ter a discussion lasting nearly four hours. When the Senate convened, the House joint resolution in favor of a constltu ional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by the people was laid before the Senate. As it was about to be referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, Mr. Butler, of North Carolina asked that it be read, and then addressed the Senate briefly. He declared it was the function of a committee of the Senate to consider, not to smother legislation. He thought this question had been so thoroughly considered that it was not necessary to send it to a committee.and he therefore moved that it be placed on the calendar. Mr. Chandler, chairman of the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, ob jected to Mr. Butler's making imputa tions upon the committee. Mr. Hoar called attention to the grav ity of the proposition submitted, that the matter should nut be considered by a committee of the Senate. He did not approve of the proposed amendment, holding that its adoption would give the United Slates two legislative bodies both chosen by the people in popular elections, the only difference being that the Senators will have a lar er con stituency than the represents ves. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, expr-.s d his regret that reflections had been made upon the Committee on Privileges and Elections. The motion to p'oce the resolution on the calendar was withdrawn, and it was referred to the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections. Mr. Hale presented an additional Ur gency Deficiency bill, and it was passed without debate. A bill providing for the removal to a proper district for trial of persons in dicted in United States Courts was also passed. Mr. Davis, of Minnesota, reported from the Committee on Foreign Rela tions, the following resolution, and it was adopted: "That the Secretai-y of State be di rected to send to the Senate a copy of the memorial of Edward Gottfried, a citizen of Wilkesbarre, Pa., and late a consular agent of the United States at Truxillo, Peru, sworn to March 21, 1900, now on file in the State Department, to gether with all papers, letters, and ex hibits attached to said memorial, and also copies of all correspondence of this government and that of Peru and of any opinions and decisions of the De partment of State in connection with the action of a party of Peruvian revo lutionists against the constitutioijal government of Peru on and after Au gust 28, 189S, the memorialist at the time being the consular agent of the United States in Peru, the wrong-doers perpetrating, it is alleged, depredations on his property and injuries and indig nities upon his person in violation of treaty rights. " The Senate then resumed considera tion of the Alaskan Civil Code bill. Af ter some discussion. Mr. Stewart with drew an amendment he had offered as to regulations for the mining of gold below low water mark along the coast of Alaska. The following amendment was finally agreed to: That, subject onlv to such general limitations as may be necessary to ex smpt navigation from artificial obstruc tions, all land and choal water below mean high tide on the shores, bays and inlets of Bering Sea, within the juris diction of the United States, shall be subject to exploration for gold and Dther precious metals by citizens of the United States, or persons who have le gally declared their intentions to be come such, under such reasonable rules and regulations as the miners in organ ized mining districts may have hereto fore made or may hereafter make gov erning the temporary possession there of for exploration and mining purposes until otherwise provided by law; pro vided further, that the rules and regu lations established by the miners shall not be in conflict with the mining laws of the United States, and ,all permits heretofore granted authorizing any per son or persons, corporation or company to excavate or mine under any of said waters are hereby revoked and declared null and void: and the reservation of a roadway sixty feet wide under the tenth section of the act of May 14, 1893, entitled "An act extending the home stead laws, and providing for right of way of railroads in Alaska, and for other purposes," shall not apply to min eral lands or town sites. After an executive session, the Sen ate at 4:45 p. m. adjourned. THE BI ILD2 X. P SEW SHIPS. Tbe Honsp Enters I'pon the Consid eration of the aval Appropria tion A vero t'-uesrle Ahead. Washington, April P'. The House to day entered upon the consideration of the Naval Appropriation bill with the pros pect of a severe struggle ahead over the question of armor plate, building ships in government yards, and the provision in the bill for the coast and geodetic survey. The bill carries $13.00.!.0O0 more than any previous naval bill. No arrangement could be reached to limit general debate. To-day Mr. Fcss. the acting chairman of the committee, made a general defense of the bill, which was also defended by Mr. Cummings. the rarkiccr minority member of the committee. Th latter declared that the committee had information that we could obtain Krupp armor at a price low er than !)ny othei rxinntrv in tbe world. AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS. Frankfort, Ky.. April 17. In the Cir cuit Court to-day Judge Cantrill over ruled the demnrrers to the petitions filed by the l-emc ratic minor State officers and susl 1 demurrers to the answers of the K publican officers. The result is in favoi of he Democrats. ! BUILDING OF WARSHIPS. SECOXDDAT'S DEBATE OS WVAI. APPROPRIATION BILE. Mr. Dayton Opposes tbe Coastr action of Vessels of War in Government Yards and the Establishment of a Government Armor Plate Factory -House Rule Severely Criticised. Washington, April 1?. The second day's debate upon the Naval Ap propriation bill in the House to-day was confined closely to the subject matter of the bill and was, as a rule, devoid of interesting features. The questions of armor plate and the build ing of warships in government yards, as on yesterday, attracted most atten tion. The speakers to-day were Messrs. Dayton, of West Virginia; Loudens lager, of New Jersey; Adams, of Penn sylvania; Vandiver, of Missouri; El liott, of South Carolina; Rixey, of Vir ginia; Fitzgerald, of New York, and Wheeler, of Kentucky. General debate was closed to-day and to-morrow the bill will be read "for amendment under the five minute rule. Mr. Dayton, of West Virginia, a member of the Naval Committee, the first speaker, contended that the naval programme outlined in the bill was not an extravagant one. He predicted that larger appropriations would be required in the future. He opposed the building of warships in government yards and the establishment of a government ar mor plate factory. Mr. Vrheeler, of Kentucky, asked if there was not a lobby here to defeat the proposition to build ships in gov ernment yards. "I never heard of such a lobby," re plied Mr. Dayton. "The only lobby I have seen was the lobby of naval con structors, if it could be called a lobby, arguing in favor of the proposition, I oppose." One of the strong reasons urged by Mr. Dayton against the government embarking in the manufacture of ar mor was the possibility that in a few years the whole scheme of defending ships might change. Already a naval expert had suggested compressed cot ton as a substitute for armor. Mr. Elliott, of South Carolina, made an extended argument in favor of com pleting the inland waterways along the Atlantic coast both for defense and as an artery of commerce in time of war. Mr. Rixey, of Virginia, criticised the extravagance in the bill. He favored the consolidation of some of the bu reaus. He also advocated government built and government made armor and ships. Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky, of the Commerce Committee, criticised severe ly the rule of the House which pro hibited members from making public on the floor what was done and said behind committee doors and declared himself in favor of compelling commit tees to open the doors to the press. The most vicious legislation was hatched behind closed doors. He also opposed, he said, the appointment of men with special interests to serve on commit tees. Their desire to serve their constit uents, he said, out-weighed their duty to their country. Upon conviction, Mr. Wheeler said he was opposed to a gov ernment plate factory and the building of ships in government yards. But when it came to surrendering some of his convictions or submitting to high way robbery he would let some of the former go. He was convinced, from what he had been able to learn, that the profit on armor plate was from 150 to 200 per cent. Mr. Wheeler created something of a sensation by expressing the opinion that "an officer in the uni form of the United States" was respon sible for the armor plate trust. He did not name the officer and was not ques tioned as to who he meant. General debate was then closed. At 5:20 p. m. the House adjourned. A NORWEGIAN BARK SUNK. Savannah, Ga., April 17. The Norwe gian bark India, from Frederlckstad, Norway, for Tybee, for orders, in bal last, went ashore last night on Warsaw Shoals. The vessel is bilged and full of water. The towboat Cambria went to her assistance and got the entire crew of thirteen men and their effects. The crew saved their clothing only, everything else being left in the wreck ed vessel. It is believed the bark will be a total wreck. MANY HOUSES COLLAPSE. London, April IS. The Vienna corre spondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "The mountain which overlooks the town of Klappi. where the landslide recently occurred, has undergone a seismic disturbance, which is spread ing throughout the entire province of Bohemia, between the river and Elve and Geibe. The heights of the Bo hemian middle range are moving, with the result that houses and churches have collapsed in some thirty villages. Railway embankments have been moved, streams diverted and roads sunk. Loss of life is not yet reported. THE INCIDENT REGRETTED. Madrid, April 17. The United States Minister, Beljamy Storer, visited Pre mier Silvela to-day and apologized for the action of the Mayor of Chicago, Carter H. Harrison, in sending an In vitation to the Duke of Arcos, the Spanish Minister at Washington, to at tend the Dewey celebration there. Mr. Storer said the United States Govern- I ment regretted the incident which, he explained, was th result of an error committed by a municipal clerk and promised it should not be repeated.

LORD ROBERTS MPRFADlStt HIS SET EAR ASD RIDE To Catcb tbe Adventnrens ComroB doee that Have Been Creating Mis chief The Fewer of tbe Boers &e lie red to be Decreasing- London Anxiously Awaits FaTernble Sews for tbe British. London, April 17.-4:15 p. m. Lord Rob erts has spread his net far and wide to catch the adventurous commandoes that have been making mischief in the south eastern part of the State. The net has not yet been drawn; but at the headuuarters of Lord Roberts the Impression exists that the power of the Boers is decrealnc. A Daily News correspondent reports th m fleeing northward, a Standard correspon J ent reports them fleslng southeast, a Daily Telegraph correspondent says that some are going north and others south, while a Morning Post representative says It la not known what the Boers are do ing. Evidently the feeling at Bloomfontein Is that the dispositions of Lord i: ' rts are such as to enable him to concentrate a large force rapidly at any point. The Boers being aware of this, are presumed to be thinking now chiefly of retreat. The Investment of Wepener, according to a special dispatch from Bloerafontein, has absolutely been abandoned. Accoiding to a Bethany dispatch the Boers are un able to retreat northward, because the British strongly hold all roads. Diverse reports come from Natal, one asserting that the Boors have retlni be yond the Blggersburg range and another saying some of them are close to Lady smith. London waits confidently for almost im meelate announcement of news favorable to the British. Distrust exists, however, as to any rapid, continuous advance toward Preto ria, chiefly on account of the lack of horses, many of which die in the long voy ages. Letters from the Cape say that the three days Journey by rail is made In open trucks, that the arrangements for feeding and watering are Inadequate, and that the unfortunate animals break down in consequenoe of these hardships. Despite the energy of its buyers abroad the "War Office foresees much difficulty in supplying the enormous number ol horses required. THE SOUTHERN NEGOTIATING FOR ANOTHER ROAD. New York, April in. J. P. Morgan & Co., authorize the announcement that the Southern Railway Company is negotiating for the acquirement of the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Air Line, and a plan for the reorganization of that com pany will be issued, tased on an agree ment by the Southern Railway to take over the property :ifier the reorganiza tion. An agreement has been reached with the holders of th- $2,000,000 of first mort gage bonds by which they will receive par in new 4 per cent, bonds for the principal and cash for an agreed amount of th Interest due on the old bonds. A large proportion of the consolidated I per cent, bonds of the company, which are a first mortgage on the west end ol the road, have been purchased by inter ests said to be friendly to the Southern Railway. A decree for the sale of the en tire main line has been allowed undei foreclosure of these two mortgages. It is therefore believed that the reorganiza tion will be promptly entered into. STRAIGHT-FRONT CORSETS. The straight-front corset Is very con spicuous in the shops just now, and that it is worn to a large extent is shown by the figures of smart women, whose gowns arc cut in the latest mode to agree with these stays. Within the memory of most of u who have arrived at years of discretion the appearance of the female form divine has changed at least three times. We are constantly startled by news that waists and hips are to be worn smaller or larger, an announcement that Is coupled with other equally remarkable anatomical intelligence, but these are merely slight alterations that are dic tated by the fashions of the day and are not to be considered; the three noted, however, were so great as to be worthy of attention.
