Prevail"

London. May 1.-.-In the Old Bailey
court to-day Justice Charles summed
up the case against Oscar Wilde and
Alfred Taylor. The justice in so do
ing said counsel for the prosecution
acted wisely I'm Withdrawing the
charge of conspiracy against Wilde.
as he would have ordered the jury TO
bring in a verdict of not guilty on
that specification. l6
He admitted that there was a cor
roboration OF witness. but the jury. he
added. would have to weigh the char
acters OF men like Parker. Wood and
Atkins, whom Sir Edward Clarke. in
the Justices opinion. properly called
blackmailers. The judge also urged
the jury not TO be influenced by
Wilde's writings. saying that many
great men had written indecently.
The Jury must use it's own Judgment
as to whether Wilde's letters to Lord
Alfred Douglas breathed an unnatural
passion. and he also said the relations
between Shelly and Wilde would be an
interesting matter for the jury's judg-
ment. The jury retired at 1880 p. m.
The jury In the Wilde case disa-
greed.
When the news of the disagreement
reached the outside or the court there
was great excitement, and extra edi-
tions OF the evening papers were
bought up eagerly. When Sir Edward
Clarke. attorney for Wilde. asked for
bail. Justice Charles said the appiica-
tion must be made in chambers. Wilde

sion OF the central criminal court.
Throughout the proceedings to-day he
was very pale. AS Sir Edward Clarke,
counsel for the prisoner. left the court
he was heard to remark: Truth is
mighty. and will prevail"
There was big crowd outside Old
Bailey during the last moments OF the
famous trial. but there was no dem
onstration for or against the prisoner

WILLING TO SETTLE.
Nicaragua WIN DO the square Thing In
Her European AFFAIR.

Washington. May 1.-The guarantee
OF the payment by Nicaragua OF the
indemnity as required by Great Brit
ain will be made In the amplest man
ner possible, so there appears to be no
further obstacle between the two
countries as 10 final adjustment. The
guarantee will be in any one of sew
eral forms, as follows:
First-The promise of the Nicaragu-
an government which. inasmuch as
the government has never defaulted in
its obligations. is of itself regarded as
a guarantee.
Second-The Bank OF Nicaragua. a
national institution with a recognized
standing in London, will. II need be.
give the guarantee.
Third-The republic OF Guatemala,
one of the richest of the Central Amer
lean states, stands ready to deposit
f15.500 i'm London IL Nicaragua desires
the favor.
Fourth-The Nicaragua Canal COM
pany, whose word in London will be
acceptable in highest financial circles,
will give either the guarantee or the
cash II need be.
Officials express fears there may be
a hitch in the Nicaraguan settlement.
II is said the possibility of the entire
failure of the agreement has not been
passed. This view is based on the sig
nificant fact that no confirmation of
Great Britain's acceptance of the
terms has ben received at the state
department. the British embassy or the
Nicaraguan legation.
Managua, Nicaragua, May 1.-Ofi-
GERS belonging to the British fleet were
ashore yesterday at San Juan Del Sur,
a small port near which the Pacific en-
trance to the Nicaragua canal is to
be built. IL was noticed they were TAX
ing measurements and topographic
sketches of the land. and they also
were apparently making observations
along the route to be followed by the
canal along the line from the Pacific
to Lake Nicaragua. The officers also
made sketches and took notes about
Brito. and although ordered to desist
by the Nicaraguan governor. they con-
tinued their work and refused to re-
turn on board the ships.
London, May lit is learned on
good authority that Great Britain has
agreed to the proposed settlement of
her dispute with Nicaragua, II the pay
ment OF the indemnity is guaranteed.
1t is said the affair is practically set
tied.
Colon. May lit is reported from
San Juan Del Sur there is every prob
ability of a revolution breaking out
in Nicaragua IL the government yields
TO the demands OF Great Britain. III
the present government OF Nicaragua
fails, 1t is contended. IL will not be
possible to adjust the claims of Great
Britain and this will probably provoke
an armed conflict.

collision on Jan. 80. returned verdict
to-day of gross negligence upon the
part of the mate and lookout man OF
the British steamer Crathie. which ran
into and sunk the Elbe. The two men
mentioned were found by Sharp,
steward of the Crathie, in the galley
of the steamer when the steward went
on deck at o'clock on the morning OF
the collision. although on the port side
OF the Crathie were a number OF lights
which the steward then believed 70
be on a fishing boat. The three stayed
in the galley until the collision occurr-
ed. In spite Of this. owing to the alb
sence of evidence from the survivors
of the Elbe, the jury found there was
sufficient proof the Crathie was soieiy
to blame for the collision. and on the
question Of standing by the rule of the
road. the jury exonerated Captain Cor
don. commander of the Crathie. from
all blame.

With Unexpected CELEBRITY This Ex-
animation Concludes.
AT THE CoRoNER's INQUEST
All Through the Proceedings Dur
rant Exhibits His Usual StoiId
f. s Indifference--More Dam
aging Testimony.

San Francisco. May 1.-The inquest
upon the body of Blanche Lamont oc-
cupied less than three hours to-day.
but the evidence developed was con-
sidered convincing, and the jury re-
turned a verdict charging Theodore
Durrant with the murder. Two new
witnesses were produced at the In
quest. and testified briefly, but IL was
evident the prosecution Is holding as
much OF its evidence as possible in re-
serve. Until to-day no one had been
produced who saw Durrant in the VI
cinity OF Emanuel Baptist church with
the murdered girl on the afternoon of
April 3. This missing link. seemingly
all that was lacking to complete the
chain of circumstances fastening the
terrible church crimes upon the medi-
cal student. was supplied at the in
quest.
Martin Quinlan. an attorney, gave di-
rect and positive testimony that he
saw Durrant and a girl. tallying ex-
actly with the description of Blanche
Lamont. walking towards the church
and only a few yards distant. at AIS
o'clock in the afternoon she disap-
peared. Quinlan explained that he was
waiting to keep an appointment with
one Clark. who corroborated Quinlan's
statement. These witnesses furnished
the sensational feature of the inquest.
but Durrant maintained his stolid in
difference during the testimony.
The police and the district attorney
are confident OF a conviction. stating
that they did not put In nearly all OF
their case at the inqoest.
Mrs. c. q Noble. aunt of the muir
darad ofrI fnaffnnd n n ha
of Durrants visits at her house and
his attentions to her niece. Durrant
had proposed marriage to Blanche last
December. but had been refused when
the girl learned he was engaged to an
other young woman.
c. G. Noble. uncle of Blanche. testi-
fed Durrant. had suggested, after her
| disappearance. that Blanche was prob
ably in a house OF i'll fame and offered
to search for her among the disreputa-
BILE houses.
| A street car conductor and three
school girls identified Durrant as the
man who had escorted Blanche from
| the school, taking the car to the point
| OF transfer en- route for her home.
George r. King. the organist of
Emanuel church. with evident efforts
10 shield Durrant. repeated the story
of seing him in the church, sick and
faint. late on the afternoon that
Blanche Lamont disappeared.
DIR. ]. S. Barrett. who performed the
autopsy, stated that Blanche died of
| asphyxiation. He said It was impossi-
BILE for her to have been in a delicate
| condition. Seven of the strangers
finger nail wounds were on one side
OF her neck and five on the other.
Detectives told OF Durrant's contra
| dictory statements concerning his
whereabouts the day Blanche Lamont
disappeared and OF his seeming fear
| to acknowledge the extent OF his ac-
| quaintance with her. The case went
to the jury with unexpected celebrity.

A WELL DONE ROAST
Senator Stewart Writes Cleveland ,
Remarkable Letter.
SARCASM PURE AND SIMPLE
The Nevada Statesman Hastens to
Congratulate the President Upon
His Efforts to Further the In
terests of England.

Washington. May 1.-The following
letter has been mailed by Senator
Stewart TO President Cleveland: When
last wrote you did not suppose that
would be called upon so soon to re-
new my congratulations for your con-
spicuous bravery in promoting the pol
icy OF the mother country. The joint
success OF yourself and Lord Kimberly
in planting the British flag and extend
ing British rule over Nicaragua is ad-
mired and applauded by every loyal
subject OF the queen. The people OF
the United States will view with much
satisfaction the preparation which you
and Lord Kimberly are making to pre-
sent the claims of British and Ameri-
can subjects in the interests OF the
mother country to conspire to over
throw the republican government OF
Hawaii. The facts that the conspira-
tors were unsuccessful aggravates the
crime of the republic in maintaining It's
constitutional government and fur
nishes you and Lord Kimberly ample
justification for demanding impossible
reparation to make an excuse for plant
ing the British flag and extending Brit
ish rule over the only remaining out
post in the Pacific where military es-
tablishment by an unfriendly power
would menace the commerce of the
United States. The object lesson of
your broad and comprehensive states
manship is already instructive. When
you have fully secured the protection OF
England for our extended sea coast on
both oceans and the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, at the expense of the
United States for the benefit of Great
Britain. your economy will be appre-
ciated. Although the policy OF relying
on British statesmanship is not new,
you have enlarged and carried into ef-
feet that policy in such a manner as
to make the American people realize
that the sovereign power to coin money
and maintain a financial policy of our
own is inconsistent with that brotherly
love and cordial submission which we
owe to the country that gave birth TO
our ancestors and to whose fostering
care we ara indebted for life with such
liberty as the mother country will gra-
ciously bestow. May we indulge in the
hope that your fidelity to the British
crown has secured you such influence
as will enable you to induce the mother
country to take charge of and regulate
our commercial relations in such a
manner as will remove all the unpleas-
ant and unnatural disagreements be-
tween the two countries with regard
to tariff legislation. Why should Eng
land be more unwilling to regulate our
customs duties than to manage our for
eign relations and to control our finan-
cial policy. Keep an eye single to the
glory and renown and the imperish-
able name you will leave to posterity
by achieving a union of 125,000O00 of
English speaking people under the un-
selfish rule of the British crown"

and the Mints are Idle.
Denver. May 1.-The Rocky Noun
tain says editorially to-day:
Tho gold receipts at the Denver mint
have fallen Off heavily in the past
month in spite OF the increased pro-
duction. There has been no increase
in receipts at other mints and assay
Offices to account for the discrepancy.
The mystery has been solved. Smelt-
ers have been selling their product
to the agents of the Rotschilds and
others interested in the recent bond sale
instead OF placing IL in the mints. The
same agents have been purchasing
larger retorts sent up from the gold
mines. thus keeping a considerable
quantity over the smelter product out
of the mint. These facts are vouched
for by men In a position to know what
is occurring in the inner circle.

Beautiful Things.

Beautiful faces as those that wear
1t matters little if dark and fair
Whole souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where heart fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like the song of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is honest, brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro,
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace n daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
