NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-William
Glack, under sheriff Of San Fran.
cisco, is in the city attending the
supreme lodge convention Of the
Sons of st. George. Speaking Of
Theodore Durrant, whose trial is
now near the end, Mr.. Glack said:
"He is the most Indifferent and
callous man in existence. Under
the most trying circumstances he
remains cold, calm and absolutely
fearless. He is peculiar looking
fellow. His forehead is fairly de.
veloped and his eyes are full, clear
and intelligent. He never gives
any uble, never asks any ques-
tions, never exhibits any symptoms
of feeling and has never referred
in any way to Blanche Lamont or
Annie Williams. He acts as II he
had never known them. He seems
to be made of steel, and is the same
Theodore Durrant today as he was
before the discovery Of the bodies
in the belfry, of Emanuel Baptist
church.
"Extraordinary precautions were
taken long ago to save Durrants
life from a mob. They were essen.
TALLY necessary. You have no idea
of the intense feeling existing in
San Francisco against Durrant.
The court room, the halls, the
grand stairway, the court yards
and also the streets and square in
the vicinity of the court are
thronged every day by thousands
of persons anxious to see the pris-
Oner on his way to and from court.
Forty deputy sheriffs, in civilian
dress, are always near him, and
others guard him while he is being
driven through what l may call an
avenue Of people.
FWomen, strange to say, pre-
dominate in the crowd. They be-
come frantic at the sight Of Dur
rant, and when we lead him into
the court room we have to force
the women into the corridors and
down the stairways. Durrant's
life has been threatened on all
sides. Even old criminals have
sought to destroy it and we dare
not take him IN the prison van
with the other prisoners, as we dis
covered recently that there was
plot among them to kill him.
"When the jury and Durrant
were taken to the place OF the
tragedy,in the belfry of the church,
it was / who escorted them. When
we were elm bling the rickety stairs
to the old belfry we came to a
landing and Durrant turned to the
jury and said: They claim that
this is the place, gentlemen, where
the body Of Blanche Lamont was
found
''Every body but Durrant invol-
UNFAIRLY shuddered and drew back
a step or two. He stood there i'm
passively, not even tremor Of an
eyelash and looked around him as
IL he had never seen the place be-
fore.
"The trial is now drawing to a
close, but the excitement of the
people dnes not abate. they believe
that there is not a doubt as to
Durrant's guilt. He does not seem
to care what anybody thinks. His
father and mother are like him,
and show no feeling or any concern
at their sons fate"

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-"Nobody
knows better than myself" said
Champion Corbett last night, shat
when l meet Fitzsimmons in Tex
as, 1 am going to have the hardest
fight of my career. Consequently
| have been taking good care of
myself, despite reports to the con-
trary, and my condition today is
such as to justify the confidence re-
posed in me by my hackers. 1t was
a surprise to myself how little ia
tigue felt after my performance
at Madison Square Garden Monday
evening, and II there were any
doubts of my staying qualities
they must have been set at rest by
that exhibition. rs a matter of
fact, l never felt better in my life,
and was never in better physical
condition than / am at present.
To save my life, / cannot
understand why such misrepresen-
tations are made as are daily ap-
pearing in the newspapers to the
effect that l am fat and careless
about my training. 1 recognize
fully the magnitude of the task be-
fore me and / am governing myself
accordingly. People are talking
about the disparity Of the weight
between Fitz and myself, but when
we strip in the ring at Dsllas.or
elsewhere / will look like boy
alongside Of my opponent. He is
bigger across the chest, [ am not (;
my flesh is more evenly distributed
over my body, and when we put up
our hands it is more than likely
FitZ will weigh about 165 than an
ounce under that figure, and that
makes pretty good heavyweight
fighter. "Tom Sayers fought his
best at 159 pounds and nobody ever
questioned his ability as sparrer
or for generalship in the ring,
whether his opponent was heavy
weight or not. There is going to
be great deal of hard work neces-
sary to put US both in fighting
trim before the last of this month,
but I have no fears as to the out
come, for / shall do my utmost to
settle the question Of supremacy
for once and all. There has been
some agitation Of the name OF
John l.. Sullivan for referee OF the
battle, but | do not see how he
could accept such a position. If he
could stand by and see the man
win who with a blow had torn
fame and fortune from him, all l
can say is that he is better than
any human being L ever heard of.
It would be unjust to John l.. to
put him in such place and no
friend or well-wisher of his will be
willing to force him into 1t. II by
any chance or fluke l should lose
the fight with Fitz and Sullivan
should be the referee, there would
be a never ending flow OF talk
about paying of old grudes, and
for my part l don't think Sullivan
wantsto be thus situated.
"Why there should be so much
misrepresentation, in regard to my
self, that am not in condition, is
beyond comprehension. Take tuat
Philadelphia affair for instance.
1t was made to appear that Fitz
and myself were engaged in a row
in barroom when as matter OF
fact we were in the hotel. Fitz
was little too hasty or the SQUAD
BILE would never have occurred
his friends have
tried to put the burden OF
the blame upon my shoulders"

NO EXTRA SESSION.
The President Does Not sec the Necessity
of Calling One.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-'"The possi-
biI;ty of an extra session of congress is
too remote to be even considered at this
time"
The expression came from the
lips of President Cleveland Mon
day night. The president was dis
cussing the effect of the income
tax decision when he made the above
observation on the possibility of an
extra session. But there seems To be
no doubt in the Einds of the
custodians of government revenues
that the next congress will be
called upon to wrestle with an annual
treasury deficit of $50. OOo, 900 and de-
wise ways and means for meeting it.
The president and his advisers in
the treasury department believe
that the contract with the Morgan
Belmont bond syndicate will amply
protect the gold reserve until October
!. In the short interim between that
date and the meeting of congress there
will hardly be time for any organized
raid on the gold reserve to seriously
embarraSs the treasury.

lent Indignation ct the action Of the
court. which took away from congress
the right TO tax the rich and left TO
the legislative body the right TO tax industry
only. He was fairly trembling with suppressed
emotion when he declared his solemn opinion
that this action OF the court was OF the kind
which In other nations and times had over
turned governments and placed power In the
hands OF mobs.
Justice Jackson pronounced the decision a
calamity TO the nation and disaster to the
government, because II took away vital part
OF its taxing power. Justice Brown also de-
nounced the decision OF the majority as some
thing little short of monstrous Justice
White also dissented, and his opinion boiled
down was that the majority OF the court had
been guilty OF a terrible mistake In law and an
outrage on good public policy.
