London, Sept. 16.-Hon. James E
Eckels, comptroller Of the United States
treasury made the following state
nent today on the request of repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press:
Being thus far away from New
York and not knowing the exact condt-
tons prevailing there, which are pro-
ducing shipments Of gold abroad,
feel l can say nothing upon that sub
ject which will be Of special benefit to
the public. Generally speaking these
gold shipments came about from the
fact that the American people are buy
ing q great deal abroad and not selling
sufficient Of their own products to
eQualize things, thus necessitating the
settlement of the balance due in gold
We maintain financial system which
makes the United States treasury
general market Of supply for all re-
quiring gold; consequently more or
less enbarra sSment comes to the ad-
ministration OF the treasury depart
ment. When these balances require to
be settled, however, the treasury has
always managed to maintain unQues-
toned payment in gold Of it's obliga-

TEN under which it is forced to operate

congress refuse to change that sys-
TEN, and as long as voters tolerate
them, the people have no right to COM

THE DEATH RATE Is VERY LARGE
The superstitions Natives Fear the White
Mans Medicines.

Indianapolis, Sept. IA gentleman
of this city has received a letter from a
brother, a member of the national guard
at Honolulu. The letter bears the date
of September 5, and in commenting up
on the cholera situation of the Sand
wich islands, expresses belief that the
reports as received in the United States
are exaggerated. United States ship
Bennington was anchored outside of
quarantine and as there had been one
death from cholera on board, United
States ship Olympia, en- route to China
decided not to touch harbor, and coal
was to be taken out to her. The letter
says cholera is confined almost entirely
to the natives. Owing to their super
stition they are difficult to treat and
new cases are rarely reported in time
for successful treatment.
AS a result the death rate is very
large. The natives think the doctors
give them medicine to kill them if the
disease does not. Nine out of ten cases
are fatal. Infected districts are under
strict quarantine, and soldiers are con-
stantly on duty.

THREE VESSELS AT QUARANTINE
SAN Francisco Determined to Shut Out
the Cholera

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-Three YES
sells are at the quarantine station at
Angel Island. They are the Pacific
mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro.
the Honolulu packet steamship S. Allen
and British ship Merioneth from port
of Rio de Janeiro.
The government authorities on the
island are hard at work fumigating
passengers, baggage, freight ballast
and vessels.
The utmost pains are being taken to
prevent the introduction of cholera
from Honolulu or the Orient.
When the Rio de Janeiro left Naga-
sakl, the cholera was prevailing and in
two weeks there had been Il cases and
IS deaths. At Nagasaki it was stated
that no whites had taken the cholera
At Yokohama there was cholera. but
according to the captain it was not in
the city but inland. In two weeks there
had been AZ cases and 35 Deaths
On arrival at Honolulu every precau-
tion was taken. The steamer anchor
ed IN the outer harbor and did not have
any communication with the shore ex-
cept by boat. At the time the cholera
was increasing. The statement signed
by Ellis Willis, the consul general.
gives the number of cases as 5S and the
number of deaths at A. The steamer
did not use water from Honolulu even
for washing the decks. While in the
outer harbor the steerage was fumigat-
ed with sulphur. According to the
statement of the City of Rio de Jan
eros surgeon, there was no case of
quarantineable disease on the vessel
from the time she left Hong Kong.
After listening to this sta tement and
examining the papers offered in sub
sanitation, Doctor Chalmers gave it
as his opinion that as more than seven
days had elapsed since the steamer left
Honolulu there was no possibility of
cholera being carried after all the fu-
migation and in spite of all the precau-
tions taken. He went to see the board
of health and was over-ruled by that
body, which recommended the holding
of the steamer and her fumigation at
the island. The steamer went to the
Angel Island quarantine station with
out even delivering her mails.

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST DuRRANT
Another Link in the Chain Furnished by
an Attorney

San Francisco, Sept. 17-As the trial
of Theodore Durrant progresses strong
evidence is being piled up against the
defendant. The prosecution has shown
by the testimony of Mrs. Nogel that the
accused walked up and down the side.
walk in front of the high school until
Blanche Lamont came out He was
then seen to take car with her and
started toward Market street. Later he
was seen on a Valencia street car in
company with a young lady answering
to Miss Lamonts description bv Mrs.
Crossett, who has known Durrant in-
tinately for years.
Martin Klein, an attorney, took the
stand and supplied another link to
that furnished by the evidence of Mrs
Crossett, testifying he saw Durrant
and young lady walking on Bartlett
street toward the Emanuel church on
April 8. The witness adhered to his
story and refused to be led into the
slightest contradiction
The court severely reprimanded the
defendants attorneys who We're oblio-
ed to admit to the jury that Quinlan
had been acquitted on each charge
David Clark, who accompanied Quin-
Ian on the visit to ST Luke's hospital
Oh the afternoon of April 3 was then
called and cOrrOborated all the pre-
vious witnesses had stated regarding
his movements.
Slowly the prosecution is taking The
Gdore Durrant up to Emanuel church
door with Blanche Lamont. The next
move in the program will undoubtedly
be to bring out the testimony of Mar
tin Quinlan, who says he saw Durrant
and young lady at TWenty-second
and Bartlett street. Then will possibly
come the story of Mrs. Leake, who saw
them after church. Then the reluct-
ant tale of Organist King, to whom
Durrant appeared, dusty and illustrated
and said he had been overcome by gas.
After this there is still the pawnbrok-
ers story of the attempt to pawn the
dead girls rings, and other bits of cor
roborative evidence to bolster up the
main case
The lawyers for the defense in the
face of all of the piled up evidence
against them are easy and confident |
We will clear him in three minutes" "
is the expression said to have been |
dropped by one of Durrant's attor- |
neys.
