HOWARD
FOUND
GUILTY.
Convicted of tho A •onooilnHt Ion of Gov
ernor Goebel«
Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 28.—James B.
Howard, who has been on trial for the
past 10 days, charged with being a
principal in the assassination ot Wil
liam Goebel, was found guilty by the
jury today, his punishment being fixed
at death.
The fact that the jnry had deliberat
ed all of yesterday afternoon without
reaching a verdict led to the belief
that it was hopelessly divided, aud this
fact made the verdict shocking to
Howard aud those who hoped for his
ultimate acquittal. Howard did not
lose h* composure when the verdict
calling for the extreme penalty of the
law was read in the court room. He
glanced at his attorneys, who sat be
side him, and smiled, but said noth
ing. After the jury had been dis
charged Howard was taken back to the
jail, aud there, for the first time, he
betrayed emotion. He called for a pen
ami paper and wrote a long letter to
hi* wife, during which the tears
coursed down his cheeks. He was
joined later by his attorneys, who
spent a good part of the day in confer
ence with him in ragard to the motion
for a new trial, which will be filed to
morrow-, and other matters in connec
tion with the case.
< Hie of the juror* stated to a press
representative that a number of ballots
were taken, but the first ballot result-
e«l in a unanimous vote in favor of a
verdict of guilty. After that the bal
lot* yesterday were a* to the degree of
punishment. Ten members voted for
th«« death penalty, while two voted for
life imprisonment. The first ballot
today resulted in a verdict, the two
jurors vvhg had voted for life imprison
ment gave in to the majority and
voted for the death penalty. The jury
consisted of niue Democrat*, one Re
publican and two anti-Goebel Demo
crat*.
The verdict of the jury, it is be
lieved, was nased largely upon the de
struction of Howard'« alibi, upon
which iie depended solely. One of the
juror* admitted that the failure of
Howard to bring any of the occupant*
of the executive buildings January 80
to testify that he was not there, was
considered by the jury as an indication
that he waa there. The testimony of
Gaine* as to seeing Howard run ont of
the ground* aud also of Stubblefield,
who swore that Howard confessed the
killing a few «laya after the murder,
were the other principal points upon
which the jury relied.

SITUATION WORSE THAN EVER.
Buraya Appareull/ Urtsrmlusd te Far

New York, Sept. 29 —A dispatch to
the Herald trom Shanghai says:
The situation in China is now more
terion* than ever before for tho*e who
ire :nten-t.«ed in p—the integri
ty of the empire. Th* Chinese govern
ment is iu the power of Boxer leaders
who are not likely to submit to the
snip«*» «lowager any proposition un-
favoiable to them. The friendly vice
rov. of the south are loyal to the throne
iml any foreign *ggre**ion in Southern
China will precipitate an uprising.
There i* danger that the friendly viee-
rovs will be replaced. Sheng, the
friendly Taotai of Shanghai, ha* been
ordered north, uud that practically
mean* hi* death.
Russia is bidding all the fort* and
*trategie»l points from Takn to Pekin.
Ru-ia'a possession of the railway show*
bv the permanent arrangement which
her officer* are making that *he intends
to swallow the north of China. No
one here believes that Russia will ever
move out except under overwhelming
pressure from other power*.
Ger
many's H»*nrance that she does not de
»ire territory in China, if the latter be
able to pay an indemnity, i* mislead
ing. Iler demand for tbe punishment
of the leader* of the Boxers a* a con
dition precedent to peace negotiations
mean* continued war and perhaps the
complete disruption of the Chinese gov
ernment.
Friendly feeling between
Japan and Russia i* increasing. France
is hand in glove with Russia. X’tce-
A Imirnl Seymour* attempt to under
take the isolated British occupation of
Shanghai and to patrol tbe Yangtse
Kiang ha* weakened the British posi
tion, while losing an opportunity to
make n definite agreement for non-par-
tition of the empire with Japan. The
United States is consistent but power
less.
Lu Li Chuan Liu, who, it is unoffi
cially announced, is to be the new
viceroy ol Canton, is anti-foreign. Un
less the allies protest the friendly vice
roy* are likely to have no friends left
in China. The only method of dealing
with the situation not involving the
division of Chinese territory is through
the friendly viceroys, gradually remov
ing the throne from the pow er of the
Boxer leader*. Americans ou the spot
believe that the settlement of the pres
ent question will decide the fate of
-noriuon* ami increasing American aud
Chinese trade.
INDUSTRIAL
CRISIS.
The Indicatioiis I'oint to Hartl Times
Coming in Europe.
Washington, Sept. 29.—The wave of
industrial prosperity ill Europe, which
ha* steadily risen since 1985, ssys Act
ing Consul-General llanauer, of Frank
fort, in a report to the state depart
ment, has taken a tuin aud lias begun
to recede.
“All signs,” he says, ‘‘point toward
a crisis in industrial and financial
lines, which may occur before two
year* have passed. Any fxilitical dis
turbance of note may bring on the
crisis suddenly, and without warning.
Coal mining is still booming, a* the
supply is not equal to the demand,
lhe iron aud steel wroks, including
the manufacturers of many lines of
machinery and steel plates for war
ships, have orders which it will take
»niue months to till,but factories making
small ironware, needles, bicycles,
nails, sewing machine*, etc., are cur
tailing production and reducing work
ing force* and wage scales.
“There are doubts if the immensely
capitalized electiical work* of Ger
many aud other countries can keep
tullv employed after present contracts
ire filled. This line of industry which
iu Germany alone represent* an invest
ment of nearly $300,000,000,
has
l«een largely instrumental in creating
the lx *>m.
“Failure- have begun already in the
building trade, which, in the large
cities, ha* G en of a speculative nature,
and rested mainly on borrowed capi
tal. Rent* for business hou«e* and
iwillings have advanced, but will top
ple upon the first beignning of a busi
ness crisis.”
