900 tons of wheat still stored at Port
Costa, reputedly belonging to the Fair

cal wheat market has been badly demon
allied. 1t was stated that a syndicate

storage bill alone amounts to $500 900

Senator Palmer Aired His Views on the
Sound Money" Proposition.

Chicago, May 4.-Three hundred dem
ocrats were present at the banquet of
the Waubanzee Club tonight, when the
monetary question was discussed from
the sound money point. President
Vincent in his remarks declared fatty
against free silver and was greeted
with loud applause.
Senator John M. Palmer made a
speech on Democracy and Money"
and got back in vigorous fashion at
the free silver democrats.
Richard w. Knott of the Louisville
Evening Post spoke on Currency and
Commerce" AS a democrat, he looked
hopefully toward the democratic party,
which, he said, must rise to the situa-
ton or perish. He said: IF men who
believe and know why they believe that
fiat money in all it's forms is a deadly
delusion, will face the multitude and
proclaim the TRUTH the intelligence and
the conscience of the country will
awake and the American people will
trample down the hideous doctrine of
reputation
The speaker asserted his belief that
the democratic party would follow the
lead of Cleveland.

FOREIGN MISSIONS OF BAPTIsTs
Leading Churches Asked to Contribute
to Debt Raising Fund.

to a Debt Raising Fund.
Boston, May 3.-One hundred of the
leading Baptist churches in the United
States have been asked by the board of
foreign missions to make a special contri-
button of 81, 600 each in order that the
debt that now burdens the society may be
lifted before the opening of the May ami
versaries. A scheme has also been
preached, and will probably be launched
at the Forthcoming anniversaries, looking
to contribution of 800 yearly from every
Baptist Sunday school in the country to-
wards the foreign mission work. If this
plan can be successfully carried out, 1t
will relieve the board of all further finan-
cial anxiety and prevent further deficits
in the treasury.
WHO WILL BE MODERATOR?
New York. May 3.-With the near ap-
proach of the general assembly meeting
of the Presbyterian church at Pittsburg
speculation is rife among the eastern del
egates regarding the selection of a mod
orator. To be the presiding officer of a
general assembly Is regarded as the high
est honor within the gift of the denom-
nation, and the selection Is usually at
tended with more or less religious politics
and wire pulling. So far, only two candi-
dates are mentioned, Rev. DR.. John Hall,
the eminent divine of this city, and Rev.
w. H. Roberts of Philadelphia. No west
ern candidates have SO far been named.
The opening sermon is to be preached
by Rev. DIR. S. A. Mutchmore of Phila-
delphia.

Tampa, Fla, May 4.-The Spanish
gunboat Infanta Isabella is detained
here by the state quarantine officers.
Last evening the gunboat passed by
the quarantine station at Mullet key
without paying any attention to the
quarantine law and anchored fer the
night about 10 miles this side. State
quarantine officers on the patrol steam
er Germ escorted the gunboat back to
the quarantine station, where Com
mander Francis Coduenas was informed
that before he could proceed his ship
would have to be fumigated and de-
tanned at least five days. The gunboat
has IT'S newly imported Spaniards on
board and is only four days from Ha-
vana. Her officers are indignant 1t
is possible that after receiving orders,
the commander will defy the orders of
the quarantine authorities.

DURRANT'S DEFENSE
His Lawyers Claim That Another
Man Is Guilty.
THEY OUTLINE THEIR PLANS
Alleged That an Elk .Mcmher OF Emanuel
Church Is Responsible for
the Murders.

San Francisco, Cal, May 5.-Now
that Theodore Durrant has been re-
manded to the county Jail to stand
trial on the charge of having muir
dered Miss Blanche Lamont on April
/ last in the Emanuel Baptist church
in this city, and Miss Marian Williams
on April IL, in the same editice, the law
yers for the defense are seeking to
stem the tide of public opinion by tell
ing on what lines they will conduct the
case The attorneys for the accused
say that they will prove that the yard
of the church has been the trysting
place for people living in that neighbor-
hood; that Durrant did not have sepu-
tation as a lady-killer. but that an
other member now an ex-member) had,
and that the latter frequently visited
the church, that this person was one
whom all the young ladies of the church
distrusted, and he frequently took liber-
| ties with them; that on one occasion he
was alone with a young lady in the
vestry where his actions were such as
| to cause her to have a serious hysteri-
| cal attack and only a desire to save
public scandal prevented his arrest and
prosecution at the time; that said eX-
member was, during April, present ut
services in the church to which he alone
possessed the keys, one of which fitted
the side door: that this person knew
and was intimately acquainted with
both Blanche Lamont and Miss VIII
Jams; that this person had been married
and divorced, and has also been an in
mate of an insane asylum.
| Durrant's attorneys conclude by say
ing that they are confident that before

openly fastened by a responsible GRIM
inal attorney. 1t is strange and sig
nificant fact, however, that Durrant's
lawyers have prevented him from max
ing statements which, they claim, will
exonerate him. Durrants refusal tc
explain things seemingly connecting
him with the crime, while in the same
breath he doggedly maintains that he
is innocent is responsible for the set
tied conviction among the majority Of
the people that he is guilty.

Testimony in the Blanche Lamont Case
Brings Out Important Evidence.
San Francisco, May 3.-Today's pre-
liminary examination in the case OF
Theodore Durrant. charged with the
murder OF Blanche Lamont In the
Emanuel church, was damaging to the
defendant. Some new and startling
evidence was introduced still further
connecting Durrant with the crime.
A. Oppenheimer, a secondhand deal

April 10 Durrant had offered for sale
a lady's diamond ring. The witness
was shown three rings. He positively
identified one as being c~ered by Dur
rant. When Oppenhei...er identified

repeated the evidence given by them
at the inquest on Wednesday. These
were Martin Quinlan, the attorney who
saw Durrant and a girl resembling
Blanche approaching Emanuel church
at APO p. m. on April 3; David Clark,
who corroborated Quinlan's statement
of his whereabouts on that day; and
the janitor of Emanuel church, who tes-
titled that there was no defects In the

why Durrant should have been fixing

AUSTRIA LOSES A PUBLIC SERVANT
Count kalnoky Didn't Like Baron Banr.
fy,s Speech and Resigned

Vienna. May 4.-Fremden Blatt an
nounces that Count Kalnoky, imperial
minister of foreign affairs, has re-
signed. His resignation, 1t is presumed,
grew out of the recent utterances of
the papal nuncio against ecclesiastical
bills during a visit to various towns in
Hungary. Baron Banffy, Hungarian
prime minister. replying to interpella-
ton on the subject in the lower house
of the Hungarian diet yesterday. said
the vatican's influence in church mat
tiers should be exercised only through
the primate of Hungary and the i'm
perial government holds this view and
had requested the vatican to explain
the conduct of the nuncio. These state
ments, it appears, created great surprise
in the foreign offices and could only be
ascribed to Baron Banffy's ignorance of
diplomatic usage.
