Powers was.charged with conspiring to murder State Senator William Goebel, the Democratic candidate for governor of Kentucky, who was assassinated several years ago. The correspondent contends that an amicable arrangement between Japan and Russia is impossible, and it is equally impossible that Japan will remain passive. Unless she is content to sink to the position of an inferior power she is compelled to seek advantages in Korea equivalent' to those which Russia has secured in Manchuria.

In an interview last night, Sir Thomas Llpton said: "American brains and development have us beaten. If the day ever comes when England produces a Herreshoff, then I will challenge for the cup again. It will not be until then. It Is unpleasant to be compelled to admit it, but the brains in boat building are on this side of the water. Herreshoff Is a wizard. His work Is wonderful; none can have admired Reliance more than I have. She Is the best boat, by all odds, and has won on strict merit. I am a disappointed man. My hopes were high when 1 left home, for I surely believed w'i would carry back the cup." STEGMAIER BREWING COMPANY, IT PAYS TO BUY AT THE WILKESBARRE, PA. PEOPLE'S STORE Russia and Japan Cannot Agree. The State of Kentucky neyer presented a more dramatic spectacle than that of Powers, who was formerly Secretary of State for the Commonwealth, pleading for his own life before a jury. Once a Republican State leader and the friend and adviser of Governor Taylor, himself now a fugitive in Indiana, Powers stood in court for hours and protested his Innocence of thi charge of conspiring to kill Goebel. He declared that he would never follow the course of Youtsey, by feigning a fit in the court room to avoid the Just punishment fixed by the law, but would fight In the courts to the last to prove his innocence. The closing hour of Powers' argument In his own behalf was devoted to an explanation of the pardon of Governor Taylor to him and to his having gathered together and taken the mountain army on Jan. 25, 1900, to Frankfort. He declared that it was a peaceful body, and went there only on a peaceful mission. If the scornful attitude of the Russians in the far east toward Japanese pretensions reflects the opinion of the authorities at 8t. Petersburg there can be little reason to expect an amicable settlement of the proposals for the modus vivendl presented by the Japanese minister at St. Petersburg Aug. 12. These proposals embodied a reciprocal recognition of the respective rights of the two powers in Manchuria and Korea. 15 South Main St., Pittston. • ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST.

This was decided on immediately on receipt of the report that the vice con sul had been murdered, and when this was contradicted last night the president and Secretary . Hay saw no reason for a change of programme. Save Your Tickets for Valuable Presents Special Cleaning Up Values at The Magnet.
