AN INFORMAL PROPOSITION
For Joint Control OF the Nicaragua
Canal
Is CourteousIy but Firmly Declined and the
limited States viii Look After the
Monroe Doctrine

CHICAGO, Oct. GA special to the
Daily News from Washington saws:
The United States will not consider the
suggestion from Lord Salisbury for an
alliance for the building of tho Nicara-
guam canal and the direction OF South
and Central American affairs.
1t is understood that the suggestion
did not come in o way to require a for
NAL reply.
The proposition was this: That Great
Britain would be satisfied if this country
would permit her, without interference
oh our part, to take possession by force
OF all the territory she claims from Ven
ezuela, and would agree to the jUint con-
struction and ownership of the Near
aguan canal. She would pledge herself
then not to seek the acquisition of any
more territory on this continent, and
would recognize and join us in enforcing
the Monroe doctrine. 1t was represented
that the governments of South and Gen.
IT II America were irresponsible and did
not afford proper protection to foreigners
and foreign interests. and that Great
Britain and theUnited States should Join
in compelling proper respect to the Citi-
zens or SUB ects and interests of the
United States and of Great Britain, or
both; to maintain naval force in the
vicinity to protect the interests OF citi-
zens of either country.
1t was intimated that unless suci. an
arrangement could be made, Great Brit
ain would not recognize the Monroe doc
trine rs having any force and that she
would be compelled to take sucn steps as
she deemed necessary to protect British
interests on this continent. This sugges-
ton is treated as having no reference to
the letter of Secretary Olney on the SUBJ
iect of the Monroe doctrine and Is entire.
ly informal. The tone of the delayed
reply to Mr.. Olney's letter will, however,
be Influenced by the manner in which
this informal suggestion is received.
Being satisfied the United States will not
consider proposition for an alliance, it
probably will not he made. and the snb-
iect will be ignored as if never preached.
The reply to Mr.. Olney IS expected to
be simply the alternative proposition
that Great Britain cannot recognize the
Monroe doctrine and will protect her in.

THAT MYSTERIOUS LETTER
Which Durrant Addressed to his
Attorneys
THE LAWYERS WERE LEAKY
Tie Contents of the Letter Have Be-
come Public
The Case Expected to de to the Jury
on Friday, Hangman's Day-Dsu-
prey to Speak

Associated Press Special Wire.
\ SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-The Ex-
aminor says that the contents of the
mysterious letter which was to be ope:e
in case Theodore Durrant was convicted
are known. In this letter, it is said,
Durrant makes the statement that he
saw the last details OF the murder and
saw Rev. J. G. Gibson and another man
prominent IN church affairs bending over
the body of Blanche Lamont. The Exam
liner says that although Durrant re-
quested his lawyers not to open the letter
until he was convicted, they have opened
it, and so remarkable were the state
ments it contained that even they did
not believe them and RETAINED from
using them in Durrant's defense.
Durrant's case will probably go to the
jury on Friday. Attorney Dickinson Will
probably complete his argument for the
defense on Tuesday morning. Attorney
Deuprey is expected to finish for the de-
Tense the same afternoon. Alto rney
Barnes will argue for the prosecution
Wednesday, and Judge Murphy will make
his charge to The jury on Thursday. The
jury may spend some time examining
tho exhibits. These are numerous and
will require minute study. There is
mass of testimony, but most of it has
been uigested by the jury. Owing to the
technical nature of much of the testI-
mony the general opinion is that the
Jury will give considerable attention to
many points hitherto only touched on

STORY OF AN EARNEST LIFE
A Companion Piece To Sherman's
Forty Years
Senator Palmer Writing A Work Comewhat
Autobographicai- VIII Retire
Before Publishing

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Oct. 26.-United
States Senator John M. Palmer, who con.
templates retiring from public life,is now
engaged in the preparation OF work,
somewhat autpbiographical entitled The
story OF an Earnest Life.
An Associated Press representa- was
today furnished with advance pages of
the work which seems now, in view of
the publication of Senator Sherman's
book, giving an account of General Gar
fields nomination for the presidency,
quite appropriate. Senator Paltne kept
a diary. from which the following ex-
tracts from pages written i'll June, 1868,
are maze known:
''jn my visits to headquarters | formed
a somewhat familiar acquaintance with
Brig. Gen. James a. Carte Id who had
been promoted from colonel of an Ohio
regiment. at the bead of which he had
won some d distinction duting short CAM
naign in eastern Kentucky. My first I'm
preston of Genera, Garfield was that he
was ascholarlv. but somewhat formal and
a littl5 pedantic. His habits were studi-
Gus, and he devoted himself TO the duties
which were those OF chief of staff. assid-
uously his conduct was extremely re-
and considerable and polite to all with
whom he was brough. in contact. His
views of military and political affairs
seemed to be judioous, elevated and
liberal. as far as could be judged by his
expressions, but he did not impress me
as one who possessed either depth of feel
ing or prominent sincerity. He had at
that time the conspicuous habit of ex-
pressing generous sentiments by appIo-
priatee and often neat or beautiful quota.
tions from the best authors. His detini.
tions and statements were usually exact.
put he did not often commit himself
upon any doubtful point OF m ilitary or
political policy; otherwise than by hap
pilv expresses quotations. He was am
bilious. as was easy to be seen, and fur
nlst ed proof OF his conduct that ne would
bide his time ana would not be likely
to recklessly share the misfortunes of
either his chief or any one else.
II was not surprised afterwards when
Rosecrans was unfortunate ut Chickaman-
qua that Garfield SO managed as not only
to escape the esnsure to which Rosecrans
was SUBJ eoted, but obtained credit by his
easy and useless return to General
Th0mss OIL the battlsEeld.''

FILLED UP WITH WHISKY
An Ohio 1ob Attempts to Lynch Prisoner.
Two Instantly Killed.


CLEVELAND, Oct. PA special to
the Leader from Tiffin, o., says:
The sentiment against Martin. the man
who so heartlessly killed Marshal Schulz
last Wednesday evening while resisting
al rest. broke out with increased fury to-
night and eliminated about 80 o'clock
this Sunday morning in an onslaught
ON the Jail by a crowd mum bering 800.
The attacking party was composed prin-
cipally of .nen from Hopewell township,
the home OF the murdered marshal. The
latter's brother headed the mob. A
mum Der OF Tiftin men were in the crowd
and took aggressive part. The result is
that two of the attacking party wers in
stantIy killed. The mob formed on the
outskirts of the town and marched TO the
jail in body. They went to work with
out ceremony and commenced to batter
down the doors at the side entrance,
making no demand of the sheriff for the
keys or anything.
Saturday being the day OF the mar
shals funeral an attack was not unex-
pected by the sheriff. and when night
came a strong guard was placed on the
inside of the jail. There was no resist

the door, but when it started 10 break
down the door leading to the corridor,
sharp fusillade was commenced by the
guards. At first they fired in the air,
but as the attack became fercar the
guards shot TO take effect. The killing
put temporary stop to the onslaught,
but it made the mob act like SO May
wild animals. They left the building
swearing vengeance on the sheriff and
crying their intention to blow the jail up
with dynamite. Henry Mutchler is the
name of one of the dead men. He is a
laborer about 25 years old. He was one of
the agitators. The name of the other
man is Christ Moot, and he lives in this
city. He is a butcher.
AT $3.50 a. m. the mob is standing on
the square, bloodthirsty. but not daring
to make another attack. y ficei kiefer,
in trying to repeI the mob was struck
on the head with a stone and taken home
unconscious 1t was at first thought he
was dead. but the physicians succeeded
in restoring him. The news OF the at
tack spread like wild fire, and hundreds
of citizens hurried to the scene. Every
attemnJ is being made by the cooler
heads to pacify the mob, but all is APP
parently IN vain.
A telegram was TO: warded to Governor
Mckinley at 1880 a. M, asking him to
order out the militia.
About thirty shots were fired. 1t is not
known whether the attacking party fired
or not.
At2:45 o'clock the situation remains
the same. The mob is very poorly or
ganized, many having loaded up with
whisky to get up their nerve.

The Gridiron Field


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-Kicking,
slugging, wrestling, tramping over each
other, gouging, snarling, perspiring, with
blood and tempers as hot as the day,
twenty-five trained athletes strained and
tugged and shed each othsr's gore at the
opening of the football season today.
1t was a struggle between the giants Of
the Reliance club and the pigmies up
holding the blue and gold of the Uniyer
sity of California. And out of the rush
and roar of the struggle on the field, out
of the tangle of humanity in which Jaws
fsttened and limp all but broken, came
the blue and gold, uisiigured, dirt and
blood Co vered-trium plant.
Only once during the entire play did
the giants from Oakland, the champions
of the gridiron field, have even the ghost
of chance of putting the ball back of
the goal OF the men from Berkeley, and
then, when it looked sure that the Reli-
ance would score, the ball was sent sour
rying back over the heads of the wrang-
ling athletes lar into the Reliance field,
and q few minutes later the referees
whistle cut off all chances of the ball ever
getting back into the ground the little
men from Berkeley had so gamely de-
tended.
And as that ball went back, propelled
by the force of Ransome's kick, there
welled up from the grand stand and
bleachers, from the crowd along the side
lines, the loud triumphant Berkeley veil
that was taken up by those VINO were
never nearer the university than Berkeley
station and carried far into the street by
those who watched the play from the
house tops.
II was a game that for a time was hot
ter than the weather. 1t was started with
Of
bad blood on both sides, that made all the
OldtimerS warm up and wait for the
slugging they knew was sure to come.
Before they had been at 1t five minutes
Ransome had been kicked in the head
harder than he ever kicked a ball and
stood webbing from side to side, bleed
ing, groggy. blinded but game. Another
moment OF play and Hupp, the Berkeley
left-half, was carried from the field with
o dislocated jaw and three doctors worked
for half an hour before they could get il
in place. Sherrard had used Hupp's face
for a football.
Through all this the crowd cheered
and Missed. 1t was not large crowd,
not more than 2500 But it was made up
mostly of Berkeley students and gradu.
ates, and they made as much noise as an
ordinary crowd of 5000.
Reliance had the bail and Oliver care
fully adjusted it for the first kick of the
season. Over the field the ball sailed
almost to Berkeley's goal. Hupp fum-
bed, and in an instant there was a tam
gle of legs and arms and then out of that
tangle emerged Hupp. His run around
the end carried the ball we'll toward the
Reliance side before he went down under
a wrIggling mass. Another lineup, and
then around the end shot Hump once
more.
Reliance began to roughen up bit,
They evidently had not expected that the
pall would come back to them at such
short notice. Scrimmage followed scrim
mage. The ball was worked back few
yards, then some how, no one see.ns able

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 26.-WIth the
object of promoting out-of-door sports Of
all kinds, company has been formed
here to secure the proper grounds for the
construction of an athletic park or recre-
alton grounds. The plans of the COM
psny will eliminate in the equipment OF
a park wherein a baseball diamond, q
football field, a bicycle track, and posi-
bly, grounds suitable for kindred sports
will be laid out.
The football season opened here this
afternoon with match between teams
from the University of California and tb 9
Reliance club of Oakland. The univer-
sity boys won by score of to 0. The
points were all made in the first half. In
the second half neither team scored. The
ball was once dangerously near the uni
versity goal, but the Reliance men failed
to score. When time was called the bail
was on the Reliance twenty-yard line.
Today's game was of peculiar interest,
for it gives at least a shadowy line on
the winner IN the great Thanksgiving
Day game between Stanford and the uni
versity team. The Reliance team won
the champi onship last year and the year
before, Dut went down IN tne1r HrSb game
with Stanford this season. Today thoy
measured their strength with the univer-
sity boys. Up to date there has been aD-
solutely no way of getting line on the
two college teams. Both have lost nearly
all of their best men, and with practically
new teams in the field results must be
problematical. Neither is the Reliance
team up to its usual form, owing to the
loss of several good men and the lack of
training.
The games this year will be more excit-
ing than ever for two reasons. In the
first place the teams are gradually grow
ing stronger under the training OF the
bes. coachers in the country. and the
more the game is played the more exper-
fenced the teams become.
Four years ago the teams were compos
ed of men who had scarcely ever seen a
football. Now that the game has gained
popular favor, it is being played in the
preparatory schools and when boy en-
tiers college he is already trained athlete
With a good idea Of the game.
