No Positive Evidence of Her
Identity Yet Discovered
DURRANT DON'T KNOW HER
No Information Received by Him From
Los Angeles
Despite All This, the Police Believe That
Such q Person Does Exist and
VIII Be Found
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.-The mys-
ferrous woman of the Durrant case has
not been unearthed as yet. Despite the
efforts of detectives and reporters, she is
as much of a mystery as ever. The search
for her has been as unrsmitting as it has
been unsatisfactory. but it still goes
steadily on, as will the trial if the woman
is never found. There are some people
who place absolutely no reliance in the
story. Durrynt scouts it and the police
are not as confident as they were some
weeks ago concerning her existence, yet
no stone will be left unturned TO produce
her on the witness stand il she is really
of this earth.
The principal witness, who was very
busy yesterday quitting together odds
and ends of the evidence" as he ex-
presses it. absolutely enies that he has
had any information from Los Angeles
respecting tine identity of the lady before
whom, us general rumor has it, Durrant
appeared in a nude condition. He states
that he had never heard of Mrs. Oallen-
der unsil he read her name in the paper
and in no way had he been referred to by
Miss Clayton to confirm it. Miss Clay
ton herself is out of town on a vacation
and her version of the story related in
the telegram could not be had. She
will return the latter part Of the week,
but from all that can be learned knows
absolutely nothing concerning the mat
ter. VI
Mrs. Vance, at whose residence, 1925
Pine street, Miss Clayton makes her
home, is positive that the latter has no
information on the subject.
Until Miss Clayton returns on Wednes-
day, therefore, the suspicion must linger
that she knows something that must be
of interest, and everybody, the police and
the defendant included, await the day
with impatience. The prisoner. naturally
has been greatly interested in the various
stories circulated regarding the myster-
ious woman. He has read the accounts
of the search printed in the newspapers,
and has talked casually with his friends
concerning it. He processes now, as he
has steadily done in the past, that no
woman ever had such an experience
with him, but, with this profession, has
always fingered the suspicion that some
woman might become so worked up by
reading of the case that she might volun-
teer to testify as to such an exhibition.
II hope Miss Clayton may pc able to
enlighten the police" said Durrant,
land enable them to locate the girl who
snid she had an experience of that kind
with me. just hope they will find her. !"

A rIohamedan Archbishop

LONDON. Sept. 9.-The Daily News
says: Mr.. Balfour's letter is one of the
most extraordinary documents that was
ever signeu by a British minister. Mr..
Balfour is now the authorized opponent
OF the governments financial policy.
What he says the treasury says. Is it to
be endured that the first lord of the treas
ury should treat the gold standard as
mere subject OF academic debate? He does
not seem to grasp the monometallists'
view of the situation. A Mohammedan
archbishop of Canterbury would not be
more homogeneous than bimetallist first
lord of the treasury" The subject of
Mr.. Balfour's letter was that his views
on bimetallism had undergone no change,
and thatyho was and always has been in
favor of an international agreement. but
he did not believe that an international
conference at this time would affect such
an agreement.

BIMETALLISTS' DISCOMFORT
Nothing ID Balf6nr's Speech to Give

Severe Censure of the First Lord Of the Treas
ury for His Expressed Sympathy
With the SiIveritcs

LONDON. Sept. s.-The Graphic thinks
the bimetallists will get cold comfort out
of Hon. A. J. BaIfour's letter explaining
his recent utterances in parliament
against the feasibility OF an International
conference.
The latter" the Graphic says, "virtu-
ally confesses that the Cause of which he
is the permanent chairman is hopeless.
The fact is, that eveh assuming a theo-
retic existence of the bimetallic system,
there is not sufficient motive power be
hind the nations to make the currency
and other evolutions which please the aoa-
demic disputants. In America returning
prosperity has forced the silver men into

charged him with assault. From what

Hathaway states that at the time Of
the trouble last winter between Domin-

former.
Yesterday Hathaway was drunk along
with several other friends at Calabasas

is very positive that he did not attempt
any serious violence on the minion Of

IL manifested among the Cubans here
over . seizure of arms near Cedar Keys,
August 18th. A sailor who had been en-
gagged on boat which conveyed large
quantities of arms and ammunition from
Tampa to Phillip Burns home in Gulf
Anmoc. thirty miles from Cedar Keys
and eight miles mp Waucassas river, in
formed of what occurred. A party went
to Burns homo to seize the arms and
were kept at bay by Burns with shot

trHband goods, but was finally persuaded
TO submit. United States Marshal Mitch

to haul the goods to the river. One
hundred rifles and 100, 900 rounds of
ammunition were found in barn under
the nay. Burns pleaded ignorance, COIL
tending that the boxes he had were for
friends.
Evidence of Collector Cottrell's alert
ness is shown in the seizure of provisions
ewnsd by Captain Rector on North Key.
where he contemplated opening fish
camp. He had purchased large quanti-
ties of provisions in Jacksonville. Last
Sunday he reached Cedar KEYS and en-
deavored to employ Captain Hodgson to
bring provision back, as he had aban.
doned the plan. Hodgson refused unless
Collector Cottrell agreed, as filibustering
excitement was intense. Cottrell was
consulted and agreed. He fixed Sunday
night for the trip. Cottrell took the
party Sunday night, went to North Key,
woke the negro in charge and according
to the negroFs story, with drawn pistol
told him to tell everything. They began
questioning the negro, who said yes to
everything. All the provisions were
carried to the custom house. Later,
however. the government authorities
ordered them to be released ON informa-
ton filed. There is no doubt the arms
were intended for Cubans. but the gov
ernment's seizure was premature. 1t
cannot be proven that Burns was other
than an innocent holder.

vessel left pier No. 10 North river little
