OF Action Based on Information Fur- mished by Wharton Golden to the Kentucky Authorities. A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky., last night says: The Franklin cgunty grand jury this afternoon returned indictments against ten persons, charging them with complicity in the murder of William Goe- bel. The principals named are Henry E. Youtsey, James Howard, Berry Howard, Harland Whittaker and “Tallow Dick” Combs, colored. Those indicted as aocces- sories before the fact are Secretary of State Caleb Powers, Captain John T. Pow- ers, ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley, W. H. Culton and F. Wharton Golden. In the indictment relating to the alleged ac- cessories three other men are indirectly referred to as accessories, though no in- dictments were reported against them. They are Governor W. S. Taylor, Green Golden and Captain John Davis. Henry E. Youtsey, who was mentioned as the first principal, was a clerk in the office of State Auditor Sweeney. He for- merly lived at Newport. Youtsey was first named in the case by Wharton Golden, the star witness for the prosecution, at the ex- amining trial of Caleb Powers. Jim and Berry Howard are cousins and mountaineers of note in connection with the old Howard 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, Gov- ernor 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, Hved at Beatty- ville, and also came here with the moun- tain men. Caleb Powers is the republican contestee for secretary of state, and John L. Powers, another of the defendants named as an ac- cessory, is his brother. Charles Finley was secretary of state un- der the former republican state administra- tion when W. O. Bradley was governor. Charles Finley is now in Indianapolis, hav- fine gone there just before the rrant charging him with complicity was sworn out, six weeks ago. W. H. Cuiton was a clerk in the office of or Sweeney. Wharton Golden was a member of the Taylor State Guard, and claimed to turn state's evidence on the stand in the exa’ ining trial of Caleb Powers, when he cited what he claimed to be the inside fact: relating to the alleged conspiracy to mur- der Goebel and enough democratic mem bers of the legislature to give the republi- It is stated that the com- at once nolle pros the indictment against Golden in consideration of his testimony. Governor Taylor Visits the President. Governor Taylor of Kentucky called at the White House yesterday and had an in- terview with President McKinley. He re- mained half an hour. Last night Governor Taylor said his call at the White House was of an entirely so- cial nature. He manifested much interest in the dispatch from Frankfort announcing that indictments had been found against a number of persons in connéction with the murder of Governor Goebel. He read the dispatch over several times, and asked some questions concerning it, but declined to make any statement on the subject. The governor expects to remain in Washington three or four da see CALLS IT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Mr. Wheeler on Builders’ Demand for Armor Plate. During the consideration of the naval ap- propriation bill in the House yesterday, Mr. Vandiver (Mo.), a member of the naval committee who signed the minority report, advocated a government armor fac- tory and the building of ships in govern- ment yards. Mr. Loudenslager (N. J.) and Mr. Adams ) spoke in support of building up an si ade an extended ar- favor of completing the inland long the Atlantic ceast both tor 1 as an artery of commerce in ) critic! He favored the ome of the bureaus. He al: armor. building ships in government yards. Mr. Wheeier (Ky.), a member of the naval committee, concluded the debate for He criticised severely the rule of ich prohibited membe making public on the floor what w and said beb clared himself in favor of compelling com- mittees to open their doors to the press. The m<¢ vicious legislation was ha behind closed door: He had no insinuntion to make against t mmitiee of which he 1s a member, he said, but he thought the oth he sald, the appointment of men with special interests to serve on committees. Their desire to serve their constituents, he said, outweighed their duty to their country. ‘Upon conviction, Mr. Wheeler said, he was opposed to a govern- ment armor plate factory and the building of ships fn government yards. But when it came to surrendering some of his convictions or submitting to highway robbery, he would let some of the former go. He’ was con- vinced, from what he had been able to learn, that the profit on armor. plate was from 150 to 200 per cent. Mr. Wheeler said he had In his possession a letter to prove that Krupp armor could be produced cheap- er than Harveyized armor, but he was not at Mberty to use it. Mr. Wheeler created something of a sen- sation by expressing the opinion that “an officer in the uniform of the United States” was responsible for the armor-plate trust. He did not name the officer, and was not questioned as to who he meant. General debate was then closed. At 5:20 p.m. the Houge adjourned. ———— TENNESSEE-VIRGINIA BOUNDARY. Supreme Court Auked to Make a Decree for Appointment of a Commission. The final preliminary steps were taken yesterday by which the disputed boundary Mne between the states of Tennessee and Virginia will be referred to a commission for final determination. Attorney General G. W. Pickie of Tennessee filed his answer to that made by the state of Virginia in the sult at equity brought before the United States Supreme Court by the state of Tennessee for the settlement of the dis- pute, the representatives of both... sides agreed as to the facts and the court was asked to make a decree for the appoint- ment of a commission to settle the ques- tion. The decree is expected to be an- nounced probably Monday. The form of decree agreed on recites that the true boundary line between the states ig that determined by the proceedings of 1801-1808, that it needs remarking and that a commission be = ere for that pur- pose. It is expected that one of the com- missioners will be a prominent official of the coast and geodetic survey, possibly the superintendent, and in addition two others to be hereafter agreed upon. ‘The proceedings have been of an entirely amicable nature and have been participat- ed in by Gov. McMillin and Attorney Gen- eral G. W. Pickle of Tennessee and Gov. Tyler and Attorney General A. J. Montague of Virginia, SE an RaIRSGER a It pays to read the want columns of The Star.

C. RIVERINE IN ALASKA. CLAIMS ALIEN Senator Spo Opposes the Hauxbrough Amendment. At the conclusion of Mr. Hoar’s speech in the Senat= yesterday afternoon a bill di- recting the Secretary of the Treasury to re- examine and resettle the accounts of cer- tain states and the city of Baltimore grow- ing out of moneys expended by said states and city for military purposes during the war of 1812 was passed. A resolution offered by Mr. Tillman (S. C.) was agreed to. It directs the Secre- tary of the Treasury to adjust the accounts between the United States and South Caro- lina and report what amount will be due the state of South Carolina June 30, 1900. Consideration was then resumed of the Alaskan civil code billy the pending ques- tion being th2 amendment offered by Mr. Hansbrough as to allen location, holding and transfer of mining claims. Mr. Spooner (Wis.), in an extended legal argument, vigorously opposed the amend- ment. He maintained that aliens had am- ple authority to locatz mining claims in ter- ritories of the United States and pass a good title to them. He protested against the proposition that claims heretofore lo- cated and assigned to American citizens by the locators rhould be randered null and void by act of Congress, and urged that the matters in controversy should be deter- mined by the courts. Mr. Carter, in charge of the bill, an- nounced his opposition to some portions of the Hansbrough amendment, and offzred as a substitute for it one which, he said, would protect the citizens of the United States in the location of:mining claims and give them the first right to locate them in territory of the United States. Without reaching a conclusion of the sub- ject. the Senate went into executive session and at 4:55 p.m. adjourned. ——<—<<<— Reeent Casualties in the Philippine: The following death Mst has arrived at the War Department from General Otis: Deaths—Malarial feyer:’ MarcW™15, Clinton G@ Pressen, Company Hf, 40th Infantry; April. 7, Christ: Monson! ‘Troep I, 4th Cavalry; April 10, First Lieut.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., yesterday says\ H. C. Frick tendered his resignation us treasurer of the Carnegie library board at its annual meeting this afternoon. This ac- tion 1s said to have been caused by a desire to relinquish all positions which he has held by virtue of his former intimate rela- tions with Andrew Carnegie. C. M. Schwab, president of the Carnegie Company, was elected in his place. Another surprise awaited the trustees at the meeting, announcement being made that Mr. Carnegie will contribute $3,600,000, in- stead of $1,750,000, for the extension of the Carnegie Institute buildings in Oakland. Mr. Frick was chosen treasurer of the lfbrary board at its inception at the per- sonal request of Mr. Carnegie. He was re- elected every year without opposition. Half the trustees are appointed by the city coun- cil and half by ‘Mr, le. Tho&é who know Mr. Frick’s feelings have held that he never would become reconciled with Mr..Carn but none believed he would go,so far in the attempt to clear him- self of every tle that bound him to the Car- uegie interesta, They believed he would SSS SSS confine any exbibition of feeling to his bus- iness interests, As treasurer of the Hbrary board Mr. Frick has done.more work than any other member, although-for the last two years A. M. Moreland, secretary of the Carnegie Company, has attended to routine matters. Vouchers for every dollar spent in connec- tion with the library had to be handled by Mr. Frick or Mr. Moreland.
