landed, said that they felt very little shock
from the collision. and that there was no

To Stop Sunday BalI-Playing.

Chicago, May 8.-Three hundred
persons attended mass meeting held
at the Peoples institute, to protest
against Sunday saloons and Sunday
baseball games. The meeting was held
under the auspicies of the International
Sunday Observance League.
The Rev. M. M. Parkhurst gave
Scriptural reasons why Sunday traffic
and Sunday amusements should be for
hidden.
The Rev. w. B. Leach said that it
was degradation of the American flag
that it should wave over baseball
field when a Sunday game was in prog
ress.
Bishop Fallows said that he had
been told by person who had can
vassed the subject, that all professional
players except one were opposed to
Sunday games.
The Rev. Thomas E. Cox called on
all Roman Catholics to discontinue
Sunday traffic in liquor and to stay
away from the ball games.
T. H. Gault said that to arrest the
managers and players would cause toe
much annoyance in return. He thought
the only way to stop the games was by
injunction. 1t is intended to take
this course.

worlds fair at Chicago. He assured
the president of the affection of the

himself and the American people.

Defense Outlined by the At.

DEFENDANT NOT A LADY-KlLLEh
Their Action in Preventing his Ms
the Promised Statement Causes
the Belief in His Guilt.

San Francisco, May Now that
Theodore Durrant, the medical student
has been remanded to the county jail TO
stand trial on the charge OF having
murdered Miss Blanche Lamont April
3 last in Emanuel Baptist church III
this city, and Miss Minnie Williams,
April IL, in the same edlhce, the law
yers for the defense are seeking to stem
the tide of public opinion by telling on
what lines they will conduct the case.
They say they will prove: That the
yard of the church has been a trysting
place for people living in that neigh
borhood; that Durrant had not repu-
tation as lady-killer; that another
member (now an ex-member) had; that
the latter frequently visits the church.
though a nonresident; that this person
was one whom all the young ladies OF
the church distrusted; that he frequent
" took liberties with them; that upon
one occasion he was alone with a young
lady in the vestry, and that his actions
were such as to cause her to have
serious hysterical attack; that only q
desire to avoid public scandal prevent
cd his arrest and prosecution at that
time; that the ex-member was, during
April, present at the services in the
church, to which he at one time had
key-one that fitted the side door; that
this person knew and was intimately
acquainted with both Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams; that this person
had been married and divorced, ano
has also been an inmate of an insane
asylum.
Durrants' attorneys conclude by say
ing they are confident that before many
days the burden of guilt will be openly
borne by the responsible criminal.
1t is a strange and significant fact
however, that Durrant's lawyers have
prevented him from making the state
ments which they claim will exonerat'
him. Durrant's refusal to. explain the
things that seemingly connect hin
with the crime, while in the same
breath he doggedly maintains that hi
is innocent, is largely responsible fol
the settled conviction among the ma
jority of the people that he is guilty.

The Irish Agitator Thrown Out of the
House OF Commons.

The Irish Agitator Thrown Out of the
House OF Commons.
London, May 10.--There was an ex-
citing and unprecedented scene in the
house of commons this afternoon. Just
as Chief Secretary for Ireland John
Morley had finished his speech discuss
ing the bill of Edmund F. V. Knox,
member for West Cavan, anti-Parnell-
tie, to repeal the 'crimes act," O'Don-
ovan Rosa, the well-known Irish agi-
tator from New York, arose from a
seat in the strangers gallery and ex-
claimed:
"Mr. Speaker, the assassin's blow
has been aimed at me in this house and
a stain has been put on my name"
Rossa's remarks were greeted with
loud shouts of order" The sergeant
alarms summarily elected Rosa from
the house. At the time the members
did not know it was Rosa who inter-
rupted the proceedings, and when his
identity became known, the sensation
increased. The previous speaker, it
appears, had alluded in uncompliment-
airy terms, to O'Donovan Rosa. Rosa
after being elected was marched off the
premises by blue coats, who warned
him not to show his face there again.
After several hours debate following
the speech by Morley, who warmly
supported the bill, a cloture was adopt
ed by a vote of 226 to 2Os, and Knox S
bill to repeal the crimes act was read
the second time without division.

Bank, for $4,000 for alternating the
affections of her husband. When the
case was called today, motion for con-
tinuance was requested on the ground
that it had been settled out of court.
