VICEROY DEGRADED.
Dispatch from Minister DENLY Re-

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-United
States Minister DENLY cables the state
department today from Pekin as fol-
lows:
"Yamen have telegraphed authorities
of Chill, Shansi and Shensi to appoint
an officer to escort commission. Edict
will issue in few days Furnishing Off

graph it,
This message refers to the independent
American commission which has been
formed to investigate the Cheng Tu mis-
sionary riots. The edict to which refer
ence is made is supposed to be about
to issue as the result of the French in
vestigation of the Cheng Tu affair, and
the viceroy concerned is probably Liu.
1t is expected that our commission, head
ed by United States Consul Reade will
be on the road from Tien Tsin TO Cheng
Tu in a few days.
Hong Kong, Sept. 2S-Obstruction of
the inquiry by foreign consuls into the
ku Cheng massacre of August is still
being kept up by Chinese officials. Forty
men suspected of completely in the riots
have been liberated by the local au-
thorities without the consent of the con-
suls. Mr.. Mansfield, the British consul
at ku Cheng, has been insulted by Chi
nese soldiers. The consuls are consider
ing the advisa bility of returning to Foo
Chow and referring the matter to their

DURRANT'S WEAK DEFENSE
Hopelessness of His Case Does Not
Change the Defendants
Demeanor.

San Francisco. Cal. Sept. 2S-Instead
of placing witnesses on the stand to
testify to some material fact in connec
ton with Durrant's alibi, two gashtters
were called to testify with regard to the
sunburners in the gallery of Emanuel
church. The evident purpose of the eS-
animation was to show that the repair
ing Of sunburners would necessarily re-
suit in the escape of a great deal of gas.
This testimony will be used to substan-
tate Durrant's statement that he was
suffering from partial asphyXiation when
he came down from the church belfry.
trembling and flushed, and met Organist
King in the auditorium.
The apparent hopelessness of his case
has produced no change in the demeaEor
of Durrant. Day after day he sits in
the courtroom beside his father and
mother and listens to the evidence
against him without sign of emotion.
This stoicism of the prisoner is only sur
passed by that of his mother. Mrs.
Durrant seems to have no conception Of
the gravity of her sons situation. At
tired in waving plumes and d tailor-made
gown, such as she might wear at matt
nee. she laughs and chats with her
friends while the evidence that the prose-
cution believes will hang her son is
being put in against him. To frequent
ers of the courtroom Mrs. Durrant's con-
duct is almost as unfathomab BILE as that
Of her son. Durrant's father, however,
looks careworn and gives evidence of the
intense mental strain through which he
must be passing.

great surprise. There was some talk ~

make prize-fghting felony. He think:
the law will be passed within a Wee

AN EPISCOPAL UNIVERSITY
May Establish One in Washington
on the Plan of the Catholic
Coliepe

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 2S.--The
journal this afternoon says on the au-
thority of prominent churchman' that
one of the principal matters to come be-
fore the Episcopalean convention, to open
here October ?, will be the establishment
of great national university at Wash
lngton. somewhat similar in it's general
plan to the Catholic university. This
has long been a cherished plan III the
inner circles of the church and the time
now seems ripe for carrying it out. It
appears that an endowment of $500. 600
has already beeen collected from a num-
Der of sources, although no effort what
ever has been made among the moneyed
men of the denomination to secure a
fund. Moreover fine site in Washing
ton was secured some years ago. This is
claimed to be, if anything. a better site
for university purposes than that of the
Catholic university. The convention has
always maintained body known as the
church university board of regents,
whose duties have been hitherto con
fned to the supervision of the small edu-
cational institutions of the church 1t is
now proposed to give into this boards
hands the work of establishing the uni
versity. 1t is understood that the most
active laymaE behind the plan is George
Vanderbilt, who besides being very
wealthy is an earnest churchman. 1t is
not. of course, known whether the con-
vention will approve the plans that have
been formulated, but it is certain that
very influential sentiment in their favor
has been created.
