The Chinese on the walls are ostimated conservatively at 20,000. They are pouring a terrific hail of artillerv, rilie and machine gun lire upon the attackers.

One of the questions put to the married .vomon : is, "How many children are you the mother of f' Sometimes 1 would put this question to the men, with regard to their wives, and very often, without a smile, \ they would toll me the number. | So while it was hard and tedious work, we had a little fun at times, j Yes, 1 would like to tell a great many things if allowed to do so. j I would like to tell of Amanda] Harris on Mr .1 W A Porter's plantation. When I asked the i question "the mother of how many childron if" she replied twenty. She said "that is the truth." I thought of old Brig ham Young and others like him, so I did -not have much moro travelling to do that dav, finding! ^ I u (lav's work right there. What! surprised me still more, she said, "twenty children ain't nnflin, m\ Imshand is the daddy <?f twenty -ix." Yes, there am minv things' I would like to tell if the govern-1 ment would allow it, and if I I thought Willie Cs-key would uot net mud I would toll of an ainus<| ing incident at his house. I 1 *pent one night with him and will , never forgot how kind his good Father and mother treated me on, this occasion. Now here is my iX[>erieoee with Willie and his iireechos.

Willie commenced! aughing, hut I would not he out lone, so I tied up hoth ends and oiled them up to the knees and,1 hoy fitted first rate.

Trial of Kx-Secretary of State I'owers C'hareod Willi llninir Accomplice. Georgetown, Ivy., .Inly 14 ? Aside from the production in court of hlood dyed garments worn by Gov Win Goebel on the day of his assassination today's proceeding in the trial of ex Secretary of Slate Powers, changed with com* plicity in the murder of Goebel, was barren of any particular interesting developments. Lute in the afternoon there was a sensation when exoGor John Young Ilrown, chief counsel for the defense, caused a witness for the prosecution to tell that certain telegraph tiles in keeping at the Western Union office in liar hours villo (Power*)' home) had heen purloined by Home unknown party and afterward returned. The first and tuoat important witness of the day was Civil Engineer Woodson of Frankfort, who made measurements of the cnpitol square and surroundings for the prosecution. The greater portion of the afternoon Session was taken up with the testimony of physicians, who examined Ooebels wounds nftcr the shooting and later performed the autopsy. They united in the belief that the fatal wound was inflicted by a steel bullet tired from a nlle of 38-calibre. The tirst witness, Mrs. A Anderson, telegragh operator at Barboursvilie, was brought forward to identify a I mo number - r? (if telegrams received or sent from her ortico in the tirst of the year. I'heso telegrams are alleged to have a hearing upon tho case and the commonwealth will seek to offer them an evidence Monday. Mrs. Anderson, in response to questions from the defenHe, said tho tiles for January and February, 1000, were missing from her office for two weeks in March, but were afterwards returned as mysteriously as they had disappeared.

The crowd is cool but determined. ?
