tinued-AdJourned TIL Tuesday.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IL AFTER a
three days ordeal Theodore Durrant tor
day left the witness stand For the first
time during the trial Durrant to-day
pleaded ignorance. In reply to a cues
ton by MIR. Barnes he said he did not
know what an alibi was until after his
trial began. While testifying to day
the prisoner became badly confused az
times and when questioned regarding
his experience ut Cooper Medical COL
iege became so mixed in his dates tina :
ne had 10 refer to g card that he carried
in his pocket to set himself right.
He became noticeably confused and
rather sesty in his replies when ex-
amiued in regard to the interview that
he had with Gilbert f. Graham, a follow
student, at tho city prison, when the
prosecution claims Durrans asked
Graham 10 furnish him with q COPY OF
the notes OF DR.. Cheney's lecture, re-
marking: "If had those notes would
be able to prove an alibi."
Durrant, in his logged way, denied
absolutely that he N ade such declara-
t1on and tried TO explain by testifYing
that Graham came to him with proffers
OF assistance. going so far as to inc uire
anxiously If Durrant had the notes of
DR.. Cheney's lecture.
Durrant finally Omitted that he asked
him to furnish the notes, but he tessi-
ned that he made the request at the
advice OF his attorneys, who instructed
him go get the notes from students of
his class and compare them with his
own.
The district attorney closed his cross
examination Of the witness by trying to
show that when he was at the ferries,
ostensibly to search for Blanche La
mont, he was, in reality, looking for
Minnie Williams, who came over from
Osklsnd that afternoon, and was found
murdered in the church the next day.
Tho defense fought vigorously against
the admission Of anything bearing on
the case of Minnie Williams, and, efter
long argument, Judge Murphy sus-
tanned the objections.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

r. G. Dun 81 Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: The price barometer gives in

Cotton goods so up with increasing evi-
dence that the crop OF cotton is short.
Prices of o6her manufactured products,
Of WOOL hides snd leGther, all show
some decline, general abatement in
new orders being the principal CAUSE.
With an immense volume OF business,
not much exceeded in the largest month
of the exceptional year 1892, and with
evidence, In several i'm portant branches,
OF an Increase surprising that of any
previoue year, there is growing UNI
certainty about the nea. future of in
dust'ies.
Money markets are neither strained
nor threatening and foreign exchanges
no longer raise apprehension. There
have been advances in wages of labor
within the past month, and only few
works have been closed by strikers for
an increase. The cotton manutactur
is peculiarly favored by the rise in ma
terials, and by the extraordinary stocks
of cotton brought over from last year,
but goods are also advancing, those
quoted last week now averaging 90 8

1894.

CUBA AND THE LAW.

A large number OF persons in this
country sympath!ze with Cuba in her
struggle against Spanish oppression,
and as the conflict progresses the desire
to did tho patriots more materially is
constantly increasing. Expeditions have
already been fitted up at several cities
on the Atlantic coast, and in all proba-
bility large number OF men from this
country with arms in their hands arc
already upon Cuban soil. This feeling
of sympathy is especially strong N
Florida, and despite the vigilance of the
Spanish gunboats and the activity of
the United States naval forces there is
little doubt but that the revolutionists
have received material assistance in
men, money and munitions of war
from their friends in this country
through the Peninsula State.
Many other people in the United
States would gladly assist the strug-
Cling Cubans, but do not desire to break
the neutrality laws OF this country. In
consequence Attorney General Harman
has recently received many letters from
ciszers of the United States making in.
quiries as to their right to assist the
revolutionists under international law.
Tho attorney general has written n re.
ply that the organization OF military
force in aid OF the insurrection in Cuba
would subject the parties connected
Herewith to fine not exceeding SO 600
and to imprisonment for not more than
three years.
Apart from the legal aspects of the
case, the attorney general says the
United States are not only at peace
with Spain, but have treaty with her
by which the extradition of prisoners
and many other benefits are secured,
and that, therefore, it behooves ali
American citiZ sns who have respect for
the laws and obligations Of their coun-
try to regard it's honor and observe this
law in spirit as we'll as in letter-to be
neutral as we'll in word IS in deed
This is very good advice, but IL is hard
for Americans to see q helpless people
brutality oppressed and not lend them n
helping hand.

political offenses; that they be permit

sion; that the prisons b opened for
the inspection OF representatives of the

SENATOR SHERMAN said, in an inter-
view at Washington yesterday, that

that business conditions have improved
over what they hsve been, but thai
there is no substantial revival, and Their o
Is no promise Of return of general
prosperity under present circumstances IS.
Everything in the way of Compression a |
legislation for improving the situation
depended. he said, upon tho action of
the President for, while the Repub.
licans have complete DO yer in the
House, their hold on the Senate is I'M
certain. He believed, with the con.
curranca Of President Cleveland, Con
gress might do something to improve
the stu ton, but it must be in the way
OF increasing the tariff revenue. AS to
the financial eitua,ion tho Senator
would say nothing. He evidently would
have the people believe that their only
nope OF steady and permanent pros
psrity Is in an election OF Eepu bile IN
President next year, and Congress
overwhelmingly in favor of protec tive
tariff. The people, however. know a
thing or two themselves, They know
that the present deficit can be remedied
without any sweeping tariff Liquidation,
and that the business Improvement has
come to stay, understanding the pre-
dictluns OF those who have polite al
axes to grind.
