ELEVEN WEEKS OF DURRANT
The End of the Trial Is in
Sight
DEFENDANT WILL TESTIFY
Deuprey Promises That There Will Be
No Sensations
!ore "Strong Testimony" Hinted at but
Not OutHned-Clalme to ileke No
Charge Against Dr. Qibaon
Asrocialed Press Special Wire
KAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7,-On tue
>pcning ol the eleventh week of the Dur
rant trial tomorrow the defense will make
l final struggle to break down tho testi
mony of the prosecution—a process which
s expected to last three clays longer. A
:ew more students will be called to the
Hand,several additional citizens will tes
lify to Durrani's excellent reputation and
;hen the defendant himself will bo called
to ihe witness stand. It is the intention
Of tho defense to have Durrant recount
Hie history of his adventures on April ad,
'ron. the time lie accompanied Blanche
Lamonte to school until the hour when
ib retired to re«t in his father's house.
It is understood the defendant's testi
mony will be guardedly given for tbe
purpose of shutting off the cross-exami
nation of tho district attorney. Under
Hi" law laid down by the sunreine court
jf the stnh; a witness cannot be cross-ex
■ mined except upon actual matters
Drought out upon direct examination.
Ilia defense intends to leave no loop
holes for tho attack of the prosecution.
A schedule of time for the close of the
trial is as follows:
On Thursday Attorney Dcuprey will
close the case for the defense.
Friday and Monday will bo occupied
by District Attorney Barnes in rebuttal.
Tuesday will be passed in sur-rebutta'..
Ou Wednesday the opening argument
of the prosecution will be made, and
Thursday, Friday and Monday the
closing efforts of tho defense will be
ma le. The next day the district attorney
will close for tho prosecution.
It is confidently expected that Judge
Murphy will charge the jury not later
than the morning of Wednesday, October
2i.
fn discussing the trial Attorney Den
prey said that the defense intended to
put in its most effective evidence at once,
lie suited he did not intend to spring
my sensations, but be expected to con
virice the jury by means of powerful evi
dence tha' all of tho auspicious circum
stances developed in the case did not
point tc Theodore Durrani as the mur
derer of Blanche Lamont.
Although he did not say so in so many
words, he intimated plainly that Rev. J.
George Gibson onu bis handwriting were
1-n receive more attention. "There has
seen a mistake in regard to' Dr. Gibson,
Mid Denprev. "V'e have never charged
thai he and'not Durrant was the mur
nerer. This assertion is based upon my
oi ailing statement to the jury. The fact
:>f t!ii' matter is. I simply told the jury
thai we would point out circumstances
which show that suspicion could be cast
upon persons other than Durrant, if sus
| h ions circumstances were to enter into
ihe cn3e. Our intention is dimply to
jemonatrate to the jury that evidence of
tins character must not be taken as proof
positive. Tnat is why we intend to show
that iheie is v remarkable similarity be
tween the handwriting of Dr. Gibson add
that cf the writer of the address upon
I lid wrapper containing Miss Lamoni's
rings. That is all tnere is to it. If Dr.
sibson desires to consider that he has
Dcen charged with murder all right and
rood. We cannot help it. It is not our
accusation.
The attorneys for the defense are
searching industriously for some young
man who cloiely resembles Durrant.
They hove visited tho Union iron works
mil several other places where they had
beard there were to be found individuals
tvho might be mistaken for the accused.
I'hey have discovered several, but jast
ivhut they intend to do with them lias
lot been made plain. Judging from the
juestions which are put to these doubles
fjf Durrant, it is considered probable that
in effort will he made to show that
Mrs. Crossetl. who is one of the state's
itrongest witnesses, might have seen
lonie young man other than Durrant on
the Valencia streetcar on that fatal after
ioon of April 3d. Tno young men who
ire accepted as looking sufficiently like
Durrant are asked whether or not they
•ode on a Valencia street car on that day.
Bu far as can bo ascertained none of them
3'tve as yet filled the requirements, the
remoteness of the date cutting quit'? a
terlotis figure so far as the,r recollections
ire concerned. Detective Harry Morse
s also engaged in tic same mission. If
my of thesa young men will say that be
ltd ride on a Valoncin street ear that day
le will be brought before Mrs. Crossclt
,nd sne will be asked to swear that he
ivas not tho man sbe saw with the young
lady instead of Durrant.
When the trial is resumed tomorrow
morning the defense will recall Mrs.
Drossett and J. O. Phillips to tbe stand
or cross examination.
The attorneya hope to obtain some atl
nission that there is a possibility ot tbeir
leing miitaken as to Durrant's identity.
The evidence will simply open the way
or the impeachment of their testimony.

CUBA AS A BELLIGERENT
Possible Action of the Central
American Governments
RECOGNITION NOT YET SAEE
An Interested New Yorker Expresses His
Firm Belief
That International Troubles Will Follow and
That Cuba Will Be Free With or
Without Recognition
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—A special to the
Hetald from Washington says:
There is discussion here in pollticial
circles over the possibility that all tbe
Panama countries may in the near future
act jointly in the recognition of the bel
ligerency of the Cuban insurgents.
Pan-American representatives have been
anxiously waiting to see what Secretary
Olney will do and tho suggestion bas been
made informally that it would be a good
plan for the United States and the Cen
tral American republics to act in concert
in the recognition of the insurgents or as
to the independence of Uuta whenever
the time arrives.
It bas already been reported that Mexi
co antl Venezuela have deciinod to grant
belligerent rights. If this bo the case, the
representatives of those respective coun
tries have not been advised of it. It is
admitted by those concerned, however,
that the Insrgentl must mako more head
way before it will be entirely safe for the
United Statos or any other republic to
recognize them.
CHICAGO,Oct. 7. -A special from Tam
pa.Florida.says:
"Two things are certain," says a New
Yorker on his way homo from a pro
longed stay in Cuba, looking after exten
sive interests in the interior. "One is
that we are going tn have trouble with
Spain about complications arising from
the Cuban question: tbe other that Cuba
will ba free whether the United States
recognizes her or not."
This gentleman could not allow his
name to be used because his property in
Cuba would be confiscated, and he would
be thrown into prison wero he to return
there.
"I beard a bigh official at Havana
say," be continued, 'that if the Ameri
cans do not mind we will parade the
Spanish troops in Central park, New
York, before we a, - e through. I heard
it said in a well known cafe in Havana
that after tbe rebellion is suppressed the
United States will be attended to, and
it was boped Clevelaud could be aatignt
and banged.
It is openlly declared in the cafes that
if Uncle Sara recognizes Cuba the
Americans must get out ol the islands.
By Christmas there will be ISO.OOO Span
ish sodlcrs on the island of Cuba. Why
should Spain mobilize so many troops if
they ore not needed to suppress the rev
olution?
"The Cuban patiiots are sadly in need
of arms and ammunition. One day a
band of forty passed my plantation with
only ten guns, and they were the cheap
est kind of guns. The rest of tho party
wero armed with ax handles. They load
their guns witn hits of barbed wire taken
trom fences and with nails."

THE BURSTED MERCED BANK
The Bank Commissioners Assume Charge
of Affairs
The Courts Will Be Asked to Say Whether
the Directors Are dullty o! N»tIU
genes or Crime
MERCED, Cal., Oct. 7.-This morning
Bank Commissioners Paris Kilhourne,
Judge W. H. McGee and Col. J. B. Ful
ler, with their secretary, C. 11. Duns
moor, held a meeting with tne directors
of the defunct Merced hank. Andrew J.
Clunie of San Francisco made an aggres
sive light for tbo depositors, who are
much dissatiselid with the conduct of tne
hank officials, and who have niaao two
unsuccessful attempts before this to have
a new board of diicctors put in. Tho old
directors have heretofore persistently re
fused to give depositors any satisfaction
or any information. Tho comm issioiiers
adopted a resolution declaring the bant;
insolvent, and taking possession of the
bank's affairs.
Tbis resolution practically stops all
business until the courts decide whether
the old directors are guilty of fraud,
criminal carelessnss or negligence. That
matter will be determined by suit to be
brought by tbe attorney-general to oust
the said directors. The haul: commis
sioners expected to loave here on tbe

ing investigated 'by the jury in connec
tion with the Merced bank.
General opinion prevails that some
criminal actions will on brought against
the bank officials as a result of the inves
tigations now being made.
IMPROVED NAVY MANEUVERS
Admiral Bunce to be Allowed the
Widest Liberty
A New Syotem of riarlne evolutions fladc
Necessary by Orowtli of the
United States Navy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The North
Atlantic squadron will go to sea again in
a few days from Chesapeake bay to re
sume evolutions. It is probablo that the
entire squadron, reinforced by tho Maine
and the Indiana, will continue tbeso ev
olutions on a larger scale in southern
waters during the approaching wintor,
though tho details of the winter cruise
have not yet been definitely arranged.
The department has determined to allow
Admiral Dunce tho widest liberty in this
work, which is regarded as one of the
greatest importance to the navy. For
many yours our navy has been obliged to
content itself with the adoption of such
marine tactics included in foreign codes
as seemed desirable. So far as those
related to Individual ships their useful
ness has boon demonstrated from time to
time, but when it come to tbe great fleet
manoeuvres, tho department was obliged
to take them on trust. There has been a.
distinct difference of opinion aino.ig
naval officers as to the suitability of
many of theao rules for our own use and
the department has long sought the op
portunity to ascertain their value by a
practical demonstration. For the first
time sir.cc we began to build a modern
navy the opportunity is now in our reach,
and'this is the vrork the squadron is now
carying on antl which it will continue
during the winter, for very much remains
to be done.

FIND A GOOD DEEP CELLAR
To Pull Off the Corbett-Fitz=
sitnmons Fight
NO OTHER PLACE AVAILABLE
Governor Altgeld Sits Down Upon the
Island Proposition
And the Government Will See That the
Indians Are Not Brutalized by
Such a Sight
Associated Press Special Wire.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 7.-Gov. Alt
geld, when asked what course he would
take in ease an attempt was made to pull
off the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight on an
island in tho Illinois river near Henry,
Illinois, said:
"I do not know <vhere the island is nor
do I know of any prospective prizo fight,
but if it is on Illinois soil we will do all
in our power to prevent any prize light
taking placo theie. The enforcement of
the law rests primarily with the local au
thorities, hut if it becomes necessary for
the state to take a hand in the matter,
I will make every effort to prevent tbe
tight."
Further than the above he would say
nothing.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Commissoner
of Indian Affairs Browning has taken
prompt and decisive stops to prevent the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize light in In
dian Terriotry. Ho has prepared a letter
of instructions to Agent Wisdom at Mus
cogee, I. T., directing bim to see the
laws enforced and to eject forcibly any
intruders who enter tho Indian Territory
for the purpose of creating a disturbance
or engaging In anything that may be det
rimental to the Indians. Tne commis
sioner says the statutes are ample to pre
vent the "light. The agent will have at
his back not only the Indian police but
all the United States troops necessary to
eject the lighters.
The following ia the letter of instruc
tions which Commissioner Browning has
addressed to Agent D. M. Wisdom at
Muskogee:
It is stated in the press dispatches of
yesterday and this morning that arrange
ments are being made,or have been com
pleted by parties interested to have a
prizo light between Corbett and Fitzsim
mons to como oft' tn the Chickasaw na
tion, the plan being to pay into the
treasury of tho Chickasaw nation tbesutn
of $->00, in consideration of which the
lighters are to be atlnpted into the nation
with a view to defeating tho authority
of this department to prevent such fight
ing.
It would be, in itbe opinion of this
offico, a great detriment to the peace and
welfare of the Indians of tho Indian ter
ritory to permit a prizo fight to take
place within tbat territory, and you are
therefore instructed to use every precau
tion necessary to prevent any one from
entering the Chickasaw nation or any
other naiton in the Indian territory and
under yoti charge for Ihe purpose of hav
ing said light come off in that territory.
You wilt advise the governors of the
various nations in the Indian territory
that this cliice will not permit a prize
tight to take placo within your jurisdic
tion, and you will call npon the United
States marshal, ana if necessary, report
to this office,and troops will be furnished
you to prevent the fight.
Section 2110 of the revised statutes au
thorizes and requires mo with the ap
proval of tho secretary of the interior to
remove troni the limits of any Indian
reservation any person found thcreoo
without authority of the law, or whoss
p.'osence there would be in my opinion
detrimental to the psace anil welfare of
the Indians.
In tho United States vs. Crook it was
held.that tho commissioner of Indian
affairs bad authority un lcr the section
above cited to remove an Indian from
the reservation as well as a white man.
As I have said, it would be, in my
opinion, decidedly detrimental to the
peacs and welfare of the Indians to per
mit anyone to enter tne Chickasaw leser
vation, whether ho ho a citizen of that
nation or not. for the purpose of carry
ing on a prizo light and the whole force
of this government that can he brought
to hear will bo exerted to prevent the
same; and you are instructed to keep
this ollico constantly advised in Older
that proper steps may be taken in time to
prevent the hunt In ease an effort should
be made to "pull it off" in the Indian
Territory.
Yon Will make these instructions pub
lic that the people interested in this light
may be advised of what the government
intends to do in the premises if called
upon to act.
Commissioner Browning was asked if
the admission of Corbett, Fitzsimmons
and others connected with the light that
citizenship in one of the tribes would
mako any difference in the autnority of
the government, and he said it would
not chango tbe condition in the least.
The government has tbe power to expel
a full blooded Indian if the welfare of the
Indians requires it. .
"The United States marshals or the In
dian agent and bis police, hacked up by
tho United States troops, can remove the
fighters and keep them out. It is not a
case whero the right might take place,
but lighters can be called upon as to
whetl'ior tbey bave violated the law. Tbe
government need not wait for the affair to
progress that far even. Tbe principals
anil others connected with the tight will
be unceremoniously hustled off the In
dian lands, on the ground that they are
intruders whoso presence is undesirable.
If they mako any complaint a'lout it the
court will have to determine the rights of
the matter, but the probabilities are the
power of the I'nited States government
will l)« broadly interpreted."
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 7.—The
possibility of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
contest Being brought off at Hot Springs

The Order Restraining Others From Using the
Automatic Regulator Dissolved Be
cause ot a Prior Patent

circuit court of appeals today handed

oly of tbe aro electric lighting business

Electric company was the unsuccessful
party in the suit. The action involved
the device known as the automatic regu
lator, which as to electric lighting per
forms a function similar to tbat of a
governor on tbe steam engine.The suit was
bsgun against the Western Electric com
pany of this city, praying for an injunc
tion restraining the defendant company
from using tbe regulator and asking an
accounting.
The snit cAme op before Judge Gross

contention of tbe Western Electrio com
pany tbat the patent, which it waa
claimed was being infringed, was void
becauso of the prior issue of a patent cov
ering the device. An appeal was taken
to tbe court of appeals which today
nlfirmed Judge Grosscup's decision and
ordered the dismissal of the case.
Tbis is final.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
SOME REPUBLICAN HARMONY
Secured at tbe New York County
Convention
BUT IT COMES VERY HIGH
Fusion With Divers and Sundry Small
Organization!
Leaves on the Ticket Only Pour Piatt Re
publicans Yet the Lead era Claim
to Be Satisfied
Asoclated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Oct.'7.—There was con
siderable excitement before the formal
opening of tbe Republican county con
vention in Lyric bail this evening, when
the report was received that a fusion
ticket had been decided upon and the
nominating committee had decided upon
the following candidates: For register,
Thomas F. Keating, state Democrat;
county clerk, Thomas Z. Hamilton, Flatt
Republican ; justices of the supreme court,
Ernest Hall, Platt Republican; C. C.
Beaman, independent Republican, and
committee of 50 men; M.S. laaaca, Re
publican and good government oandiaa
for judges of the 'court of general ses
sions, Thomas Allison, Platt Republican;
John Fennel, state Derooorat; foi cttjr
court justices, Henry C. Botty, Platt Re
publican; Daniel O'Oonnell state Demo
crat, and James W. Hawes, Republican.
Tne ticket was finally agreed npon at
the conference at Republican heaaquar
ters, which lasted almost to the hour of
closing the convention.
it was a great disappointment to tbe
straight ticket men that three places bad
been conceded to the state Democrats,
one to the committee of lifty and one to
the good government clubs. There ware
left Dut four Platt Republicans on tha
ticket, as James Hawes had not been
identilied with either faction.
1 Tbe Stecklers independent connty or
ganization and tne Jimmie O'Brien anti-
Tammuny Democracy were refused a
plat eon the ticket. Edward Lauterbach,
however, and tne other Platt leaders ex
pressed themselves as satisfied with tba
ticket.
The convention was addressed by Mr.
Lauterbach and others, who explained
the details of tbe fusion. Some objection
waa raado to the acceptance of the fusion
ticket on account of the presence of two
chamber of commerce men on it. Final
ly it was adopted, there being only twen
ty-four opposing votes anion? nearly 300
delegates. Then tbe ratification waa
made unanimous.
It is said that the German-American
Reform union will endorse tbe ticket, be
cause the excise plan of the state Democ
racy is endorsed. That plank charges
Tammany hull with tbe responsibility
for the existence of the present excise
laws, speaks for the sanctity of the Bab
bath and concludes:
"We favor and will endeavor to secure
such a modification of existing laws aa
will prevent blackmail and oppression
and will enable the city to determine for
itself by popular vote whether tbe sale of
foods and necessaries shall be permitted
on Sunday with such restrictions as shall
not interfere with tun religious observ
ance of the day."
A. F. Jdnks. who was nominated by
the regular Democratic convention for
the supreme court and against whom
there baa been opposition by the reform
ers, withdrew his name from tbe ticket
tonight. After receiving the letter of
withdrawal the Democratic judiciary
committee met anil nominated J. T.
Mareau.
