THE LAMONT CASE Now ON.
A New Theory Adopted by the
Defense.
They VIII Attempt to Show That
Blanche Has Not Been Killed, and
That the Body Found in the
Church SteepIe Was That of Some
Strong Statement.

San Francisco. May Theodore Dur
rant will be placed on trial for his life
for the murder of Minnie Williams.
He was held to answer on the charge
in the Superior court today. and bail re-
fused
Police Judge Conlon, the committing
magistrate. in rendering his decision.
briefly reviewed the case and the evidence
adduced against Durrant. In conclusion
the judge said:
The people. 1 consider. have surely
wound a chain of circumstances in this
case around one object-Durrant-an to
cap the climax, the property of the dead
girl was found in his possession. The
chain is complete, and in my opinion
nothing is wanting"
Subsequently, Durrants preliminary ex-
animation for the murder of Blanche La
mont was taken up. The evidence so
far given was precise repetition of that
at the inquest yesterday. and related to
Durrants accompanying the girl from
school on the day she was murdered and
TO his social intimacy with her.
Blanche'S aunt Mrs. c. G.. Noble, was
asked to identify the dead girls hand
writing. She was cross-examined for an
hour on this point. The only writing
which has concerned the case hitherto
was that on the paper enclosing
Blanche's rings and bearing the names of
George R. King and Prof. Schernstern.
The defense apparently wish to show
that Blanche herself wrote those names,
to establish their new theory that
Blanche had not been killed. and that the
body found in the church steeple was
that of someone else.

The constitution convention marked
its red letter day yesterday. when it
disposed of the article on miscellane-
Gus and thus cleared the calendars of
both the committee Of the whole and
the convention itself. Now all that
IS left to be done is the final revision
of the articles that have been passed
and the enrolment by the enrolling
clerk and signing by the members.
This will probably be disposed OF in a
few days and the convention may ad-
,journ on Tuesday or Wednesday, af-
tsr adopting an address to the people.
FMost or yesterday was spent on the
article on miscellaneous. with its pro-
visions for exempting real and per-
sonal property from sale on execution
for debt. This article was mutilated
beyond recognition, and attempts to
annex onto It articles on irrigation and
declaring mining and agricultural
uses public uses were defeated. Sew
eral hours were spent in finally re-
vising the legislative article and part
OF the executive article.

Nicaragua Press Very Sore ut the
President.

President.
New York, May "A special to the
World from Managua says:
The press blames President Cleveland
for having. as it terms it, surrendered
Nicaragua to England. 1t is predicted
that sooner or later Great Britain will
control Central America. Her next step.
il is said, will be against Honduras.
The reported concessions of England
are not favorably received by the public.
At a meeting of distinguished citizens,
presided over by President Zelaya, the
following words were ascribed to Foreign
Minister Matus:
1.-The Monroe doctrine is dead. 1t died
of the poverty of heroes blood"
The speakers seemed inclined TO vent
their chagrin on the United States,
blaming that country for all the trouble.
Three hundred more soldiers have gone
to the Mosquito coast. Fresh instructions
have been sent to the Salvadorean min
lister in London. who is endeavor1ng to
bring about a pacific settlement.
The government claims to have no Of
fetal knowledge of the United States re-
quest on England for more time for
Nicaragua, and says if such a request
has been made, it was made without
Nicaragua's authority. A leading man
here says that though President Zelaya's

titude of the people. England's action
will do MICH towards bringing about the
much-talked-of Central American union.
IT is semi-officialiy stated that Hondu-
ras and Salvador will open their ports
for Nicaragua imports, waving the duties
collected in favor of Nicaragua. Troops
under General Reyes, commanding the
approaches to the marshes surrounding
Corinto, have orders to allow no armed
body to pass.

CULLOM TALKS WAR.
Old England Must Keep Away From
Nicaragua.

San Diego, Cal. May 2.-Senator S. NJ.
Cullom, of Illinois, arrived by private car
from Los Angeles last night accompan-
fed by Mrs. Cullom and friends. In an
interview on the forcible occupation of
Corinto by British forces, Senator Cullom
said:
IF plain and emphatic protest had
been made by the United States govern
ment, England would not have occupied
Corinto. Now that she is there. l be-
lieve in using force if necessary to get
her out There are two things upon
which the people of the United States
have set their hearts, and sshey are the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine and
the building of the Nicara qua canal. The
administration that gets in the way of
the people in these matters will be put
out of the way. There are some things
that we will not stand, long-suffering as
we are. l do not apprehend that England
will go to such steps as is prophesied, yet
we do not know what her insolent and
dictatorial policy may lead her to at
tempt One thing is certain. that she
must get away from Nicaragua or there
will be war between the United States
and England"

Monster Labor Meeting.

Sheboygan. Wis, May "A monster
labor meeting was held here this evening.
general strike throughout the city was
agitated, and the probabilities are that
all the big institutions will be closed to-
morrow.
The speakers told the men not to break
the laws, but to try to gain their point
in a peaceful way. At o'clock in the
morning the strikers will parade the
streets, and if their plans are successfully
carried out, there will be several thous-
and men in line. Tonight there are about
1,6O0 men on a strike, and the situation is
becoming very serious. The strikers are
endeavoring to get the wages which they
received before the business depression
began. Several of the biggest manufac-
turing establishments of the city have
been forced to shut down.

Asks Protection.

Wheeling. W. Va. May 2.-Neither the
state nor the federal authorities have re-
ceived any alarming reports from the
scene of the miners strike in the Elk
horn region on the Norfolk & Western
road today. A Charleston special says
that in case of trouble, Governor McCor
kle will dispatch representative to the
scene at once to avoid any complications
with the state of Virginia that might
arise over the question of jurisdiction.
Yesterday. General Superintendent A c.
Hippey, of the Norfolk & Western rail-
road telegraphed for protection. and was
informed by United States Marshal Car
den that the government could do nothing
unless an injunction was issued from the
federal court to prevent the strikers from
interfering with the mails or obstructing
interstate commerce.

The mines in the Wheeling division of
the Baltimore & Ohio road are having
more success today in getting out coal.
Importations of men have continued. and
there are 100 negro miners from West
Virginia at work at the Jumbo mine and
thirty at the Midway mine. The mines
employing non-union men are closely
guarded by deputies, but thus far no
serious collisions have occurred. On the
other hand, the union officials are more
confident of success than ever, and say
that there are fewer men at work now
than at any other time, and in a short
time they Will have the Pittsburg and
Chicago company's men out. At this
mine the men have just renewed their
contract with the company TO work eight
months at the 60-cent rate, with 10 per
cent off, to be paid them at the eXpira-
ton of the contract if its terms have
been complied with

''KU-KLUX" BAYS.
Evidence That They Have Been Re-
vived in Georgia.

Atlanta. Ca. May From Butts
county, in the central portion of the
state, comes a story of dastardly
outrage that smacks of 'Ku-Klux'
days The body of Tom Brownlee. a
negro, who had been known to his
neighbors as an informer against a
moonshiner, was found day before
yesterday in a creek that runs through
the hills of Butts county. He had been
pinned down in the bed of the creek
by saplings stal1ed to the ground,
there to die a lingering death of fear
ful pain and suffering. The story was
told that Whitecappers had perpetra-
ted the terrible crime.
Colonel Chapman, of the internal
revenue department, has sent report
to Washington detailing the particu-
lars of the outrage. The government
will investigate the case and those
who had a hand in the torturing and
numbering of the negro. who had the
reputation of being a law-abiding citi-
zen. will be brought to justice.

TROUBLE is COMING.

the Strike is a Last Cause-RaiI-

Cincinnati. O., May Am Enquirer
special from Pocahontas, Va, says:
Union men have been trying to induce
the employees of the Southwest Virginia
and Browning mines to join in the strike.
1t is believed they will go out here on
Saturday.
1t appears that Governor McCorkle has
wired certain persons here conveying a
rumor that the United States govern
ment contemplated sending United States
marshals here. backed by regular SOL
diers, and he requested all prominent
West Virginia operators to discourage
such proposition, as West Virginia was
able to maintain order without outside
help. All is now quiet here.

RUSSIA Is READY.
May Take n Hand in the Peace Ne
EOtintions.

GOtEuflOnS.
London. May "a dispatch to the
Times from Odessa says it is semi
officially announced that Russia has
made every preparation and is quite
ready to begin hostilities if Japan re-
fuses to modify the terms of her treaty
of peace with China.
A Berlin dispatch to the Times says
that negotiations are actively pro-

of these negotiations. Japan has not
made formal reply TO the protest OF
! the powers.
A st. Petersburg dispatch to the
same paper says there is reason to be-
iieve that an early official answer from
japan TO the protest of Russia, Ger
many and France. was not expected.
Russia is inclined to give Japan plenty
! of time in which to reply without the
latter Stultifying herself in the eyes
of the japanese people by anything
like a too hasty compliance. The Rus
sion envoy a Toxic has lately pressed
for a reply to the protest, and has been
told that it will be given in a few
days on the return of Count Ito, presi-
dent of the Japanese council of min
listers. In diplomatic circles there is
great confidence that a pacific solu-
ton of the matter will be reached.
The Times Paris correspondent saws
that the papers of that city are trying
desperately hard to complicate the Ques-
ton OF the attitude of the powers in re-
gard TO the Chinese-Japanese treaty of
peace. The correspondent adds:
From an excellent source, I am in
formed that the rumore of an ultimatum,
collective notes. etc, are not founded on

matters 10 the practical issue of open
hostilities.
THE military resources of Siberia are
not such as to justify such an enterprise.
Germany, while apparently firmly deter
mined TO afford moral support by dip
lomatic pressure. has given no grounds
for SupoSing that she will actively inter-

Russia company has certainly not enter
ed upon any agreement by which she

Britain is melting Japan to resist; indeed,
II is quite the contrary. Great Britain
urges Japan TO meet the susceptibilities
patible with Japanese dignity and per-
manent interests. This advice will not
be given in vain. 1t is expected that ia
pan will give the European powers a
mark of Difference and will renounce a
definite occupation of the Liza Tung pen
insula, consenting 10 all other oc-
equations to cease with the fulfillment OF
the other clauses of the treaty. l do not
believe that Europe will demand more
than this. and I do not believe that Japan
will refuse to go as near as this.

probable and il will shortly come about

The diplomatic game between Japan and
the powers, appears to be proceeding in
strict accord with the regular rules Ev-
erywhere confidence prevails that pa
cific solution will be attained of the row.

taken a very important part in the
negotiations within The last twenty
four hours. A cablegram of instruc-
tons was sent to Mr.. Bayard yesrer-
day, laying down positive line of &C
ton. Mr.. Bayard received these in
structions so late yesterday that they
were undoubtedly communicated TO
the foreign Office today. 1t is sig
nificant coincidence. therefore. that
Great Britain's acceptance was given
almost Immediately after Mr.. Bayard
carried out his Instructions Previous
to yesterday the compromise was be-
ing urged by the Salvadorean minister
in London, but his efforts seemed to
be ineffective and there was no GER
tainty that Great Britain would agree.
1t was this doubt which led to tna
cable TO Mr.. Bayard. He was directed
to urge the reasonableness of the COM
promise proposition and to seek an
early acceptance. The result proved
that his offices were more effective
than those of the Salvadorean min
listers.
DR.. Guzman. the Nicaraguan min
lister here. received the news from the
state department late in the day.
Il am much gratified with the re-
suit" said he, but now that it is all
over l don't mind saying l was quite
apprehenSive up to the time. the official
message came from Mr.. Bayard. There
is no doubt that the affair is at an
end, as no circumstances can now in
tervene to prevent the execution Of
the agreement. The suggestion that
Nicaragua has yet to accept is a mere
Formally, which she has already ac-
copied and, in fact, has urged the
agreement through her representa-
tives. But such further assurances as
are necessary will be begun. The
payment of the money is beyond
question. Nicaragua's word is sufti-
surance of Salvador"
Thanks TO Gresham.
DR.. Guzman was asked what other
steps would be taken.
There is only one more step" said
he. land that is for the British ships
to sail from Corinto. 1 expect that
will occur on Saturday, perhaps by
tomorrow"
AS the interview closed Dr. Guzman
said: ''One thing / want to empha-
size, and that is my appreciation of
the consideration shown me and my
government by the state department.
The kindly manner in which Secretary
Gresham and all the officials have
treated the subject at a time of emer-
gency is a source of congratulation to
me and certainly will be to my gov
eminent when the facts become
known"
DR.. Guzman sent a cablegram to his
government informing them of Great
Britain's acceptance.

statement that so far as they are con-

pushing the prosecution against Fulton
Gordon. They are anxious for the whole
unfortunate affair to be hushed up,

today that the governor would do moth
ing towards prosecuting Gordon, but
would simply let matters take their
course. The governor and his wife re-
turn to Frankfort tomorrow. 1t is
thought Gordon's plea will be self-de-

that he will testify that Brown fired the
first shot.
His defense for killing his wife will

So cents is lost cause. and say that the
operators will not pay over 60 cents per

which event it was calculated that the
demand for coal from this district will
be so great that it will compel the cper-
ators to start their mines at any price.
