SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2o.-Ths pros.
ecution In the case of Theodore Dusrant
announced today that its witnesses would
be through with direct examination next
Wednesday. Tue crowd at the trial to-
day exceeded in size that of any previous
day since the case opened. The women
outnumber the men two to one. Half an
hour before court opened there was not
even standing room. At the same time
hundreds of citizens were held at bay BY
squad of police and deputy sherifs.
George King, the organist OF Emanuel
church, was recalled for further cross.
exam ination. After a few unim portant
questions from the opposing attorneys,
King was excused, to the general surprise.
it having been expected that the prose-
crtion would interrogate him closely
upon the alleged variation in his state
ments concerning Durrant made at differ
ent times.
Frank A. Sademan, formerly janitor at
the church, testified that on April Sd, the
day Blanche Lamont disappeared, the
gas fixtures were in perfect order. Dur
ing the last few days of March the gas
company had finished some ork in the
church and gas escaped no place there
after except a trace which was hardly
perceptible from a loose key in one
chandelier. The witness then detailed
his meeting with Durrant at the ferry on
the afternoon of April 18th. Durrant then
stated that he had heard Blanche Lamont
was to cross the bay that day with a CONF
panion, and that he wished to intercept
her and induce her to return home. Wit
ness said that in the latter part of March
Durrant and King had put on a new lock
to which they only had keys, on the IL
brary door. They had stated their object
was to keep out of the library persons
who had no business there. The ex-jan-
itor testified that several times he had
found doors in the church unlocked.
These doors opened into the interior
rooms or closets and he had attached no
importance to their being left unlocked.
SELLING THE RING.
Adolph Oppenheim, pawnbroker, tes-
titled that between the 4th and 10th Of
April Durrant came to his store and
offered for sale ring with small chip
diamond. The witness selected a ring
from those identified as belonging to
Blanche Lamont and said that was the
ring offered him by Durrant. He had de-
chned to purchase it. and Durrant had
taken it away with him. The witness
described Durrants costume on that oc-
casion and said he could not be mistaken
in the ring, which be identified by
square shield on top in which the dia-
nlond WIS set liks a star. The witness
had never seen another ring like it, OPP

tacks upon foreigners no restrictive meas
ures can be put in force. For its own
selfish sake, and in order to escape the
wrath of America and Europe. the CEN
tral goyernment may issue wnoiesome
edicts of reform, but the throne Is not
now in a condition TO command implicit
obedience. and the local magnates Will
necessarily be left to carry out their own
devices. The only expedient therefore,
that can lead to aovantaeeous results. is
to apply force directly. ID the responsible
quarter. The spectacle OF viceroy ana
eign troops and compelled to exercise
authority in deferentisl submissi to
foreign military dictation, would work
cure that can never be effected by diplo-
matte treatment prescribed at Pekin.
Ana until this remedy is put in opera
tion, there can be no hope of safety for
alien residents in the interior of China.

MAHOMMEDANS IN REBELLION
Fifty thousand Mahomm edans are in
active rebellion in the northeast OF
China. They are fighting with arms said
to be supplied by Russian sympathizers,
and their avowed purpose is to set up an
independent government in the territory
taken from Kansu, Iii and Thibet. The
authorities at Pskin are dlspatching all
the troops that can be collected to the
scene.
In exchange for more than 1000 prison
ers of war delivered over by the Japan
ese. the Chinese have produced eleven
captives, only one of whom is soldier.
The other ten were coolies attached to
the invading army.

in favor OF recognizing the belligerent

TOXIC, Japan, Sept. 7, per mshlp
Gaelic, via San Francisco. Sept. 20.-Tai-
wan Ju, the old capital of Form osa, and
Chang Hwa, an adjacent fortified town,
were captured by body of 1000 Japanese
on August 26th. after a short contest in
which twenty-four of the ASSISTANTS were
killed or wounded. OF the Chinese gar
risons, mum bering 10000. $50 were killed
or wounded, ana the remainder dispersed
in various directions. The conquering
army will not proceed further south ward
until after the arrival of fresh troops
from Manchuria and Japan. By the mid
die of September the entire force will not
exceed $4,000 fighting men.
Count Matsugata. minister OF finance,
has resigned from the Japanese cabinet
because of differences with Marquis Ito,
prime minister.
Viscount Watanbe, who retired from
the treasury last March to make room
FOR Matsugata, now resumes his former
post.
The report recently sent out from
Washington, asserting that toward the
close of the war between China and
Japan serious difficulty threatened the
friendly relations of Japan and the
United States and that actual hostilities
would have broken out but for the sud-
den announcement of an Asiatic armis-
tice, IS declared by the highest authori-
ties in Toxic to be entirely without
foundation.
INvESTIGA, ING THE MASSACRES.
The investigation of the Ku Cheng
massacres proceeds slowly. the Chinese
officials seeking by every means to inter-
pose delays and plainly indicating their
sense of superiority in rank and position
to the consular agents charged with the
duty of guarding English interests. It
has been evident from the first to all ex-
perienced observers, that the trial will
have no effect in providing for the Sc
curity of alien residents. and it is looked
upon by the Chinese of all classes as the
nerest mockery. A few executions of
real or alleged criminals may proba bly,
be ordered and pledges of watchfulness
and care will be given to any required
extent by the rulers of Pekin. But the
mass of the people are now thoroughly
persuaded that the highest provincial
authorities approve the persecution of
shielded from punishment, no matter
what excess they may be,gu:lty of.
The decapitation of score or two of
vegetarians will not materially shake this
universal conviction, and those who
suffer death will be regarded az martyrs
in worthy cause. Judicial inquiries,
conducted oy civil foreign officials of Sec
ondary rank. produce no impression upon
the popular mind. The viceroys are
