DuRRANT DECLARED INNOCENT.
He Was Said to be Overcome by Escaping
Gas.

He Was Said to be Overcome by Escaping
Gas.
SANTA CRUZ. Cal, July 24.-W. F.
Barrett surrendered himself to the
sheriff this morning and acknowledged
that he was the murderer of Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams. He
went to the sheriff's Office and said he
did not want to see Durrant hanged
for crimes of which he is innocent.
He said he knew he would be found
sooner or later. and so resolved to sur
render himself.
District Attorney Linsday was sum-
moned and to him Barrett told his story
He said he was working at the Berlin
restaurant on Folsom street, near
Fourth in San Francisco, when he saw
Minnie Williams, Blanche Lamont
and Durrant on street car. Barrett
says he Immediately took fancy to the
girls and tried to make their acquain-
tance. He boarded the car, and when
Durrant and the girls alighted he fol-
lowed them. Durrant and Miss LAM
ont entered the church, Miss Williams
remaining outside. Barrett entered the
church unseen and hid behind pew.
The gas was escaping, and Durrant
went to the roof to stop the leak. Miss
Lamont walked to the rear of the
church, where Barrett says he seized
and attempted to assault her. To pre-
vent her screaming he choked her.
She dropped limp and lifeless to the
floor. Fearing Miss Williams would
be a witness against him, Barrett
says he crept up behind her and stabbed
her with knife he had taken
from the restaurant. He says Durrant
had been overcome by gas and was
dazed. Barrett says to hide the crime
he carried both bodies to the belfry.
While in the church he said he beard
Organist King playing. After COM
Uniting the crimes, Barrett returned
to his lodgings. Fearing the police
were after him, Barrett came to Santa
Cruz, where he was employed one
week as waiter. He resembles
Durrant slightly. He has been
locked up pending examination as to
his sanity. He talks nationally, is 26
years old and native of San Francisco.
He looks the picture of despair.
The district attorney says Barrett
is undoubtedly insane. After the con-
fession Barrett mistook the supervisor
for Rev. DR.. G.. Gibson, pastor of
Emanuel church, and apologized for
causing him trouble. Barrett spends
his confinement in singing songs at
the top of his voice. The confession
is inconsistent with all theories of the
murder.
Barrett, in reply toa question, stated
Durrant was too overcome with gas to
see him.

EXPRESS CAR ROBBED.
A Passenger Train Held Up on the Lake
Shore Road. ~

a AeosSASeA AfoAh AAcio W uu the Lake
Shore Road.
TOLEDO, July 24.-Shortly after mid
night train No. 81, on the Lake Shore
road, which had attached an express
car which runs between Buffalo and
Chicago, was stopped at Reece's
switch, midway between Archibald
and Stryker, A miles west of this city.
The engineer saw the switch was
turned, and tHrnedon the air brakes.
Several shots were fired at the cab,
one OF which put out the headlight.
When the train stopped four robbers
went to the express car and ordered
Messenger c. B. Nettlemen, of Buffalo,
to open the door. Nettleman refused,
and the robbers threatened to blow up
the car. Nettleman then came out
and the four men entered the car.
They secured the contents of the local
safe, amounting to about $3.50, and
then went at the big safe which con-
tained considerable money.
Since the LendallYille robbery the
express company has supplied its cars
with dynamite-proof safes and this
safe stood the test of four dynamite
cartridges fred by the robbers. Dis
couraged, they jumped from the train
and disappeared.

patch to Agent Tetor, at the Fort Hall,

utes after it passed the track was under
water, as were Frick coke works here.
Boulders weighing hundreds of
pounds were rolled down the hillside
by the storm. The county bridge over
Gauley run was torn away and swept
against the Baltimore & Ohio bridge,
tearing it out. The tracks here are
covered with mud.
Dozens of farm animals were
drowned in the rush of water, which
receded almost as rapidly as it came.
Houses in creek bottoms were flooded
five and six feet, and narrow escapes
from death occurred. Wrecking crews
are working at the debris.

ANGELS CAMP, Cal, July 23.-The
vicinity of the Utica mine here resem-
bles deserted battlefield, with the
dead and dying lying around. Scores
of men are stretched out, while those
most seriously affected are being con-
veyed to the cOmpany's hospital. In
attempting to remove the bulkhead of
the Utica north shaft, so or go men
were overcome by the escaping gas.
AS one man would fall another stood
ready to take his place. Finally the
bulkhead had to be blasted out, and
the gass is now issuing in such volumes
that no one can 60 near.
The water in the stickle compart.
ment of the mine is about SO feet
above the 800 level and it is believed
the fire is extinguished, although this
is not certain. Flooding practically
ceased this morning. Granting that
the fire is out, it will take fully a month
to pump the water out of the stickle.
Angels Camp will not recover from
the effects of the catastrophe for a long
time. as hundreds of men with fam
lilies are thrown temporarily out of
employment.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 23.-In con-
versation today Governor Richards
said he believed thef Indian police
would be able to arrest all the Indians
now off their reservations, and if they
experienced any difficulty the regulars
would be ordered out to assist them.
'tThe Indian trouble must be settled
quickly" said the governor, "and un-
less the Washington authorities take
decisive action 1 will order out the
state troops to arrest all rowing Indians.
1 am determined the Indians shall be
made to respect the laws OF the state
as well as their white neighbors.
"The authorities at Washington are
careless in regard to correspondence
on the subject. My predecessor, Gov
ernor Osborne. wrote letter to the
interior department, relating to the
Indians killing game last summer.
That letter was never answered, and
neither was one wrote last month"

If the intention is to civilize them they
should be taught that the first princi
pie is restraint, and this should be en-
forced by the military arm of the gov
ernment if necessary. These Ban
nocks became tired of the peaceful life
on the reservation, and took a summer
outing according to their primitive

them were killed. Now the rest are

The assassination of M. Stambuloff,
the prime minister of Bulgaria, was
considered of political significance by |
very many. as that country has been
the scene of Russian intrigue for many |
years. 1t is supposed the czar is at
tempting to control affairs to his own
interest, and every movement is
watched with the greatest concern.
From affairs that have occurred since
the death of the Bulgarian statesman
it appears that he was very unpopular,
and was guilty of acts of cruelty that
would place ones life in jeopardy I
in any country. 1t is undoubtedly true
that the king is not possessed of those
elements of character that would make
him strong monarch, and it is very
if he does not manage his
little kingdom at the behest of the
great power of the north; but the ten-
ure Of Office of man with the dispo
sition of Stambuloff would be very un-
certain in any country, and his life
might pay the penalty Of his cruelty
at any moment. The world cannot be
governed as it was half century ago,
when tyrants appeared to enjoy fmmu-
nifty for any act OF oppression OF which
they might be guilty. Now they fire.
1ently meet their just deserts, and no
one mourns their sudden death, when
they become the victims of pistol

cleveland's Foreign Policy.

Chicago Journal: The rumor that
Secretary Olney is about TO make a
'peremptory demand" on the British
government through Ambassador
Bayard for the settlement Of the
Venezuela boundary disputes again
gives the administration democrats
chance to pirate Of the vigorous
foreign policy" of Cleveland and his
cabinet.
The vigor Of the foreign policy Of
the present administration Is to be
found only in certain well-defined
spots, and those spots are where po-
litical capital may be propagated
without fear Of stirring up an un-
healthy dust. The Venezuela bound
airy dispute is almost as good a field
for a grand-stand play AZ the Mora
claim against Spain, concerning
which Mr.. Olney has demonstrated
that he would stand no nonsense
especially at time when Spain was
too busy with Cuba to feel in nom
sensicaI mood. In both these cases
the government has been as active
aud vigorous as schoolna'am with
Il bad boy across her knee. But IN
the case of France and the Waller
persecution, or III that of China and
the missionary massacres, where
there is real wrong to right or the
possibility of large and inconyeni-
eut snag TO run up against, it has
been a. slow as lnolasses in January.
The faictitious activity of the for
eign office at Washington viii de-
coive nobody. The democratic party
is in need of all the political capital
it can beg, borrow or steal, and Mr..
Cleveland thinks he has discovered
gold mine in Venezuela.

said they thought the state would go

1t is whispered in the most exclu-
sive cuckoo circles that the vacancy
in the U. s. supreme court has been
placed at the disposal OF Mr.. +. FL
lery Anderson, of New York. who is
one of the original cuckoos, and who
is, like Mr.. Cleveland and so many
of his appointees, a corporation law
yer. According to these cuckoo
whisperings, if +. Ellery wants the
place he has only to say so and it
will become his, after Mr.. Cleveland
has made all the use possible of the
vacancy as persuader, to make
prominent democrats see the finan-
cial and other questions as he sees
them.
Just now there is considerable talk
among those who are usually used
by the administration when there is
a desire to ascertain how the public
would take anything about the inten-
tion Of Secretary Olney to give us a
vigorous and thoroughly American
foreign policy from this time on.
This may or may not be true about
the future, but there is certainly
nothing either vigorous or American
in the exasperatingly slow manner
in which the case of poor Waller is
being handled by the department of
state. Perhaps things will getamore
rapid move on after Secretary Olney
returns from his vacation. One
thing may be set down as certain. If
Secretary Olney Will take a bold
stand in our foreign policy he can
count upon the staunch support of
the republicans in congress.
Senator Quay's Washington friends
are rejoicing over his great personal
victory, and predicting that it will

A Wise Mutual Adjustment.

The city of Chicago and the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company have
come to an amicable agreement
about the lake front problem. Mu-
tual concessions are made which
will require on the part Of the com
pany an expenditure, for filling in
the lake, building sea walls, and con-
structing yiaducts and small bridges
to the outer lake park, Of Sl,025,000,
and in return the city gives to the
company eight acres Of land on the
lake shore Of such value for track
age purposes that it Is estimated to
be worth 100000 to the company.
We think the city gets altogether the
best Of the bargain, as the eight acres
decided to the company are 50 stu
ated as to be practically worthless
for other purposes. The Chicago
real estate spectators estimate that
$22,OO0O00 will be the value of the
land formed into an outer lake park,
insuring to Chicago one of the most
magnificent water Batteries in the
world. OF course the S22m0@l0 is q
Chicago estimate. The slower New
Yorker or the more quiet Philadel-
phian might not think the new park
worth half that sum.
