Georgetown. Ky., October 9. One of
the most remarkable scenes ever en
acted in a Kentucky court occurred to
night in the trial of Henry E. Youtsey,
charged with being a principal in the
shooting of Governor Goebel, the de
fendant himself being the chief par
ticipant. The court room was crowded
at the time and the excitement was in
: tense. Detective Armstrong, of Louis
I vllle, had Just told of his talks with
I Youtsey before and after his arrest.
Then Arthur Goebel was put on the
stand and Judge Ben Williams, who for
:he first time appeared for the prosecu
tion, did the questioning.
Arthur Goebel said: "I talked with
Toutsey the day he was arrested late
in the afternoon in the Jail in Frank
fort in reference to the murder of my
brother."
Just at this point Toutsey arose be
hind his attorneys and in a loud voice
-aid:
"It is untrue. It la a he: 1 never spoke
i word to that man in my life, nor he
to m,e."
Colonel Crawford told him to be quiet
jind sit down, and others took hold of
him.
"I will not sit down. I never said a
word to that man. it is untrue."
JL was shouting by this time and
sverv one was becoming excited. Yout
sey's wife sprang to his side, and while
endeavoring to make him sit down,
could 1"' heard saying: "Now you have
killed my husband, I suppose you are
satisfied."
Then Youtsey hysterically shouted
again: "I am innocent there is no
blood on my hands: these nu n are
swearing my life away."
Two or throe deputy sheriffs went
over and grabbed him. Tie struggled
wildly and said: "Let me alone I will
not sit down."
Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat spinx
like in the witness chair and never
turned his head. Finally, after Youtsey
was forced into a seat, he shouted
again :
"Goebel is not dead all the demons
in hell could not kill him."

Finally quiet was restored and Judge
Williams asked Arthur Goebel another
question, when Colonel Crawford asked
a postponement of the trial until to
morrow on account of the defendant's
condition. Judge Cantrill said he could
not see any cause or reason for the de
fendant's outbreak, hut in justice to his

Shamokin, Pa., October . President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
who came here to-day to take part in a
labor demonstration, was welcomed In a
most enthusiastic manner by the thou
sands of striking mim workers in this
section of the Cctroylkfii valh y. Tlr- city
was profusely decorated anel all the store3
and other business bouses in the vicinity
closed at noon and thousands of people
came from surrounding towns to take
part in the parade and to listen to Mr.
Mitchell's speech at a mass meeting
which was held after the parade. The pa
rade was started at 2 o'clock from th;
east end of Shamokin, and fully 6C)0
strikers were in Hnr. When the proces
sion reached the Soldiers' and Sailors'
monument, where the ma.-s meeting was
held ,a large crowd had already assemble-d
there to hear the labor president speak.
President Mitchell was enthusiastically
received when he arose to address the as
semblage. He soke of the enthusiasm
Jisplaycd by the men throughout the
thracite strike region and went Into
situation as it now stands. In referrinj

"Every other strike that has taken
place in the anthracite region has been
declared off by your officers. Heretofore
-hen men went on strike they remained
out for a time, and then the chief exe- j
?utive or the executive board dee la red tho j
strike off without consulting the wished
Df the strikers. I want to say. as l havd
said before, that this strike will never
?nd, until the miners, through delegated
!n convention, end it for themselves. Wo
have called a convention and you metl
are inviti d to send delegates there. Yod
are invited to pass judgment on the operator.-'
proposition. If you believe th.tl
they act ia good faith: if you believe 1J
per cent, to be enough: if you believe that!
they will pay the 10 per cent, for a year,
then you must decide whether you will
return to work. On the other hand, if you
rciect the offer anel continue on strike,
John Mitchell will be there to help you dd

you suffer. I do not belie ve that the aeJ

Hie White Star Liner Ocean ie Has n
Narrow Escape from Shipwreck
Jtr the t oast of Ireland.
1
New York, Oe tober 9. A special cable
lispatch from Queenstown to the Even- i
ing World says: The giant White Star j
liner Oceanic, which arrived here to-
day, had a narrow escape from ship- !
wreck off the Coast of Ireland. While
approaching the coast and trying to
pick up the Fastnet light, what appear- j
ed to be a fog bank suddenly lifted and
showed' land dead ahead. The breakers j
could be plainly seen crashing on the j
rocks, and the vessel touched bottom, j
but Captain Cameron immediately j
stopped his engines, reversed them and
backed into deep water without the j
hip being injured. It was only owing I
to the care of the captain that a terri- j
ble disaster was averted. The Oceanic j
was going slowly on account of the fog
and trying to pick up the land. It Was 4
o'clock in the morning when the fog
lifted and showed the land right ahead,
the position being then between tne
rocks known as the Bull, Cow and Call
and Brownhead.
The land was so close that on each
Washington, October 9. The Cabinet
meeting to-day, which occupied about
two and a half hours, was devoted al
most exclusively to a disc ussion of the
Chinese situation. Special 1 nsidera
tlon Wfa given to the F nc! -note, and
it is understood that a more or less
definite conclusion was reached as to
the nature of the reply which will be
made by this Government, but it has
not yet been put in diplomatic form.
Its purport will not be made public for
the present.
It developed to-day that Minister Con
ger, in compliance with a suggestion
from Secretary Hay. had submitted to
the State Department a list of ten or
twelve names of Chinese officials who
were prominent In the Boxer move
ment against the foreigners, and In a
great measure were responsible for the
assaults upon the legations In Pekin.
These officials, Mr. Conger believes,
should be included with Prince Tuan
and others in any punishments which
are to be indicted upon those who took
a prominent part In the Pekin outrages.
It is not likely that the position of this
Government in regard to the punish
ment of these officials will be stated in
reply to the Fiench note.
General Chaffee continues to execute
the programme for the withdrawal of
the military forces already outlined,
and he has notified the War Depart
ment that he will have all of his men
except the legation guard out of China
Inside of a fortnight.
The American troops will take no fur
ther part in any military operations in
China, unless they aie attacked, which
is not believed to be probable. The
officials do not credit the Russian Ad
miral's report that "they participated in
the taking of Shan-Kai-Kwan, as the
sense of General Chaffee's orders was
directly contrary to such participa
tion. The Chinese Minister said to-day that
if the powers regarded it as essential
that the Emperor and Empress Dowa
ger should return to Pekin he was eiuite
confident this could be brought about,
first by giving positive assurances for
the personal safety of th ir majesties,
and then, as plain evidence of this as
I surance, directing that the bulk of the
! allied forces now at Pekin be with
drawn to Tien Tsin, Yang Tsun, or
i some other point, leaving only a few
hundred troops at Pekin as a guard,
j Paris, October 9. It is semi-officlally
: announced to-day that the news re-
ceived here from China is now more re
assuring than the English dispatches
i make out; that an agreement between
: the powers will be arrived at on the
basis of M. Deleasse's note: that the re
! ported arrival of Li Hung Chang at
1 Pekin has been confirmed, and that con
firmation has also been received of the
degradation of Prince Tuan.
The officials of the French Foreign
Office are Mated over the reception
which France's note has secured in
Europe, and it is hopeful and sanguine
that it will result in a common under
standing which will permit of early
peace negotiations. France, however,
has not yet received the formal reply
Df any power, but the verbal statements
made !) the various Ambassadors on
the nresentation of the note led the
government to believe it will be accept
!d everywhere except in Grsit Britain

Charleston, S. C, October 9. Presi
dent Quigley, of Syracuse, called the
twenty-eighth annual convention of the
International Fire Chiefs to order at 10
o'clock to-day in the German Artillery
Hall. Addresses of welcome were made
and responded to in a hearty manner.
The large hall, seating 1500 persons,
was filled and the opening exercises
were very interesting. Chief McAfee, of
Baltimore; Chief Quigley. Mayor Smith,
of Charleston: Fireman Grace, of
Charleston, and Chief Ryan, of Norfolk,
were among the speakers. Special com
mittees reported at this, afternoon's
session and to-night the firemen heard

morrow includes the test of apparatus
and an excursion to historic Fort Sumter.
Berlin, October !. It was ascertained at
;he German Foreign Office to-day by the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that all the powers have agreed to the
proposals of the second Ge rman note with
the exception of Great Britain, from
whom no answer has yet been received
to either the first or second note of Ger
many. The Foreign Office, however, ex
pected Great Britain's adhesion to the
econd note, anel still looks for a reply to
the first.

Jrllet. 111., October 9. Mr. Bryan
concluded the last speech of the day
here to-night at a few minutes before
11 o'clock. He began at Quincy at 8
j'lock this morning and made sixteen
addresses during the lay the auui
inces were generally large, but those
it Peoria, Quincy and Joilet were espe
cially so.
The meeting at Joilet was held in the
rourthouse grounds before an immense
rrowd. The Bryan train did not arrive
jntil after 10 o'clock. After the meet
ng Mr. Bryan left for Chicago.
To-morrow he begins his tour of
vlichigan, Benton Harbor being his first
rtop.
' Quincy. 111., October 9. All members
)f the Bryan party were sleeping
soundly this morning when at 6:30
3'clock the train pulled into this city.
They were mt, however, permitted to
continue their slumbers long, owing to
the calls of the crowd for Bryan and
:he beating on the windows. Mr.
Bryan hastily donned his clothes, drank
a cup of coffee and was escorted to a
carriage for the long drive to Washing
ton Park, where, notwithstanding the
early hour, there was a throng of wait
ing people, many of whom had been
standing in the chilly air since day
ight. Mr. Bryan spoke on the general
ssues of the campaign, saying that so
large a creuvd at so early an hour of
the day indicated that the people were
interested in themselves rather than in
aim.
Mr. Bryan referred to an editorial on
.he pension cio.es lion which appeared in
in Omaha newspaper with which he
tvas formerly connected. He said that
the editorial referred to was printed
long before he was connected with the
paper, "yet I doubt not," he said, "that
every old soldier will receive a letter, in
v hich it will be stated that I am the
autimr of the editorial."
"I have already received one,"
:heuted an old soldier in the crowd. "I
im not surprised," said Mr. Bryan. "I
enow that they have misrepresented
svery thing that could be misrepresent
ed. To-day they have not the least
lope of carrying this election unless
.hey have a bigger campaign fund than
:hey have ever had before, and they
can coerce everj oter tnat can be
coerced."
Macomb. 111., October 9. William J.
Bryan to-day asked the Associated
Press to make public the following:
"The trip would be much easier and
much more satisfactory if the local
committees would observe the request
'.hat has been repeatedly made, namely.
:hat the place of meeting should be at
the depot, where I can speak from tht
rear of the car or from a platform
erected within a few feet of the train
Sometimes a committee insists on a
parade from the depot to the mieldle ol
the town, even when the stop is short.
Such a parade not only consumes the
time that might otherwise be used ir
speaking, but it adds to the fatigue ol
the journey and then subjects me to
the danger of taking cold. At short
stops it is necessary to speak rapidly,
and if I then have tojride a quarter of
a mile in the carriage I am chilled be
fore I can reae h the car. I am doing
ail the work that I think it safe to do,
and I hope that local committees will
recognize this and hereafter arrangt
for speaking at the depot."
St. Louis. October 9. St. Louis' vast
Exposition coliseum was crowded to
night in honor of Governor Roosevelt,
who spoke a little more than an hour.
The Governor was tired, having ridden
in a parade given In the afternoon.
Later he was the guest of honor at a
luncheon given by the St. Louis Club.
He was escorted from the Planters'
Hotel in the evening by Mayor Ziegen
hein, National Committeeman Kerens
and other prominent Republicans of
Missouri, a mounted regiment of Rough
Riders and several thousand citizens in
carriages or on foot. The route of the
night parade was illuminated with
flambeaux anel colored fire. Arriving at
the coliseum the Governor was greeted
with tumultuous applause. He was
intreduced by the Mayor of the city
and was cheered enthusiastically
throughout his speech, at the conclusion
of which he was escorted to the Union
station, where he took his special train
for Chicago, whence, to-morrow morn
ing, he will start on his Indiana tour.
Chicago. October 9. Senator Depew
addressed over a thousand students at
the University of Chicago to-day on
the broad campus of the institution.
His speech was mostly on political
lines, and the students applauded vig
orously. He maintained that the coun
try is more prosperous to-day than ever
before in its history. In closing he
said: "Mr. Bryan makes no efforts to
answer these facts, but simply tries to
get around them. He says they are
fictitious conditions; that we are living
in a wild debauch; that we are putting
the d-dlar above the man. That is not
true. We are simply putting the dollar
within reach of man."
