 DURRANT'S LAST EFFORT. The Program of the
 Defense. Attack on the Prosecutions
 Testimony. Durrant To Be Placed on the Stand
 In Ills Own
 Behalf.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Ion op- ening the eleventh week of the Dur rant trial tomorrow the defense will make final struggle to break down the testimony of the prosecution, a process which is expected to last three days longer.
 A few more students will be called to the stand, several additional citi- zens will testify to Durrant's excel lent reputation and then the defend ant himself will be called to the wit ness stand.
 It is the intention of the defense to have Durrant recount the history of his adventures on April 8 from the time he accompanied Blanche Lamont to school until the hour when he re- tired to rest in his fathers house. It is understood the defendants testi- mony will be guardedly given for the purpose of shutting off the cross ex- animation of the district attorney. Under the law as laid down by the su- preme court of the state, witness cannot be cross examined except upon actual matters brought out upon di- rect examination. The defense in- tends to leave no loopholes for an at tack of the prosecution.

DEATH IN A COAL MINE. A Dreadful ExpIoSion at
 Wilkesbarre. Fifty Men Believed To Have
 PerIShed.
Keller Parties Organizing to Pene- trate the Outer Workings
 of the Mine.

WuKEsBARRE, Pa.. Sept. "A terrific explosion of gas occurred this evening in the Dorance mine, in this city, while a party of engineers were making a survey.
 It is not known how many men were in the mine, but five have already been brought to the surface, several of them being fatally injured.
 The explosion is supposed to have been due to carelessness with uncovered lamps on the part of the visitors.
 The men brought to the surface were from the bottom of the main shaft.
 Relief parties are now being organ ized to penetrate the more distant parts of the mine, in which it is feared only dead bodies will be found. The task will be one of awful danger, for vsst masses of coal and shale have been de- tached by the explosion and are hanging in the galleries. Several of the work ipgs are entirely closed and may take weeks to open.
 Thousands are gathered around the pit mouth, many of them with relatives in the mine, and the scene is pita ble in the extreme. No more bodies are now being brought up but it is believed the loss will be fully fifty when the mine has been explored.

ADMINISTRATION CHANGES.
Electric and Water Plant for Terri
 torial Institutions.

A new electric lighting plant of 250 lights capacity is now being installed at the insane asylum, the work being under the charge of Jno P Irving, of the J. Holt Gates Manufacturing com pany. The service, which will include two arc lights for the front of the big building, is expected to be greatly superior to the present service and to be secured at much less cost. The same machinery will also pump the water for the institution, dispensing with the use of the city mains, while the exhaust steam will heat the build ing, new heaters being now in posi- tion. u,
 The plant is almost identical with one being installed at the territorial penitentiary. At the latter institution a well is now being dug in the river bottom, the river water, which is sweet and pure when not muddy, being filtered through the sands

THE DREAM CAME TRUE.

A. B. Ellit was an incoming passen- ger on the Santa Fe trainSunday morn ing and will make a short stay in Phoenix. He is the Kansas man whose fame arose from dream. He dreamed that his brother, lost to his knowledge for thirty years, had To-
 cated in Prescott, Arizona, and then he dreamed the pleasing sequel that he and his brother travelled to a nearby point where they found mine of sur passing richness. Ellit had faith in his dream. He went to Prescott and found his brother, strange to say. Then they journeyed to the mountains of the dream and found the mine The mine has not been developed and may not be the Golconda of dream books and of fairy tales, yet is said to show remarkably rich croppings. And yet there are persons who deride the in fiuence of the spirits and the warning that so oft comes in slumber time.

New Settlers Arriving.

The Santa Fe is now handling a heavy passenger travel to Phoenix that appears but vanguard for the expected host this winter. An admirable feature about the present run of travel Is that it IS composed of new settlers, who have looked intosthe aims of the Salt River valley and now come here to invest and to settle down for fife. Nearly all the summer excursionists are here, yet the Santa Fe daily brings in from thirty to sixty passengers, fully half of whom are from the eastern states, with through coupon tickets. Many shipments of household goods are also arriving and today new settler, J. l.. Hoag, receives carload of furniture and implements which has made the remarkably fast time of six days from Falls City, III.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Commis- sioner Browning, of Indian affairs, has takevn prompt and decisive steps to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsimmon prize-fght in Indian Territory.
 He has prepared letter of instruc- tions to Agent Wisdom, at Muscogee, I.

HE LEARNED SOMETHING.
Difference in the Explosive Power
 of Powder.

of Powder.
 Over at Tempe about a month ago the officers of the towns energetic militia company became much inter- ested in the reports of the workings of the new Danish rife adopted for the army. One of the features of the new arm lies it's use of smokeless powder, an explosive of far greater force than the black powder now in use. The old Springfield gun has charge of about 70 grains; the new arm, with far greater range and an almost fat tra- jectory up to 600 yards, has but 32 grains of powder, to propel it's 30- caliber bullet.
 But the Tempe boys did not know this. They could not get new rife, but they did get some of the new powder and with it they reloaded Springfield cartridge, using something over 50 grains.
 The result was startling. The bullet went, no man knoweth where, while the breech mechanism of the rife was shattered into fragments. Luckily the marksman was uniniured and his gain in edge of explosives almost com pensated for the shock to his nerves.

"PAsslvE BLOCKADE"
viii Probably Be the Extent Of Great Brisan's
Move In N,caraQua.

WASHINGTON, April l8.-Oflicials here
profess to have no information as yet rs to
the instructions sent to British war ves-
against Nicaragua. Those In q position
to understand the status OF affairs, how
ever. express the belief that the British In
structions are on the following lines:
First-There shall be no exercise OF force
which will affect the commerce or In
terests OF the United SSates or her citizens
OF any other foreign country.
Second-The exercise OF force shall DO
confined to the execution OF "passlve
blockade" Of Nicaraguaniborts according
to the established rules for that maneuver.
The passive blockade" Is designed to
cripple tho inrercommerce OF Nicaragua,
and yet 70 the foreign comnssxce to pro-
ceed as usual. 1t does not contemplate
any overt act or seizure or detention OF
property. But the warships will bring to
standstill the local or coastwise trade, and
keep 1t thus paralyzed until satisfactory
response is given. The merchant ships OF
the United States and other countries
would be free to come and GO. and care
would be taken that no cause should be
given for United States Intervention on
the ground that the United States inter.
ests were in jeopardy.
The last time this "passive blockade"
was executed was against Greece, 10 years
ago. At that time tie allied powers Of
Europe except France, agreed to suppress
the action of Greece In beginning war on
Turkey. The various countries sent war
ships. which blockaded Grecian ports and
held all coast commerce in check until
Greece yielded.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
am bassador, was at the state department.
but it was said the visit was
not in reference to the Nicaraguan situa-
tion. as the British foreign flee is deal
ing directly with Nicaragua.
