IN DURRANT'S BEHALF. .
General Dickinson Addresses Jury in Defence
Of the Supposed Murderer.

San Francisco Oct. 29.-General Dick
inson concluded his address I'm behalf of
Durrant this morning. He went over
all the ground again and in addition att
tackled Pawnbroker Oppenheim, stating
that Durrant had money and there was no
necessity for his pawning the ring, and
that he would have been fool to have
taken such chances, thus directing suspi-
cion against himself
The speaker paid some attention to tho
women witnesses and declared they were
unreliable and certainly mistaken as to
the evidence they had given. The testi-
mony adduced at the trial had been purely
circumstantial, he said. Furthermore, two
persons must have committed the crime,
Durrant being physically incapable Of do
ing it. The counsel concluded by hoping
that the jury would restore Durrant to his
family and pursuits.

GENERAL DENIAL
By Russian Officials as to Re-
ports Of Chinese Treaty.
They Know Nothing, Want Nothing
and Probably viii Get Nothing.
Reported That English Fleet HAS Been Con.
centrated al Foo Chow.

London Oct. 20 1t Is stated at tho
Russian embassy here that telegram
was received, some days ago. from Primes
Lobanoff -Rostovsky, Russian foreign min
lister, declaring that the report that
secret treaty has been concluded between
Russia and China Is unfoundcd. The
sole object of Wong Chi-Chuans visit to
st, Petersburg. so far rs the embassy is
aware, was to congratulate the Car
upon his accession to the throne.
Officials at the embassy stated that
they were not aware that Russia claims
any right of anchorage at Port Arthur for
vessels beyond what is conceded to tho
powers. The statement is incorrect that
a Russian squadron or any part Of Rus
sian squadron will be stationed perma-
nently at Port Arthur A denial is en-
tered of all reports current in the past
few days regarding Russia's action in
the East. The origin of the reports tho
officials declared, they are unable to cx-
plain.
The London Times publisher dispatch
from Hong Kong saying that at a public
banquet at Vladivostook on September
%, in his honor, the Governor of Eastern
Siberia, in speech, referred to the new
Maohurian concession and strongly urged
the community not to be alarmed.
VoldivosSock, he said, must remain tho
Russian headquarters although part
of the fleet would be at Port Arthur.
The Times, accepting the official dis
claimcr of its dispatch stating that
treaty had been negotiated between Rus
STA and China, giving the former great
military and commercial advantages,
refers to the foregoing speech editorially
and remarks that its informant erred i'm
good company. This paper claims that
the expression of public opinion here, In
America and in Germany has been useful
that would be created by any such move
ment on the part Of Russia.
A dispatch to the London Globe from
Hong Kong under Fridays date says
Wong Chi Chuan was appointed last fall
by an imperial edict to so on special
mission to Russia, ostensibly to congratu-
late the new Car, Nicholas IT, upon his
succession to the throne, but really to
convey to St Petersburg secret treaty
conceding the right to Russia to carry
the Siberian railroad through Manohuria
to Vladivostock, and to construct branch
railway from Tsitsikar and Moukdeh to
Vladivosrock. The dispatch in other re-
spects confirms the Times Hong Kong
dispatch of Oct. %, asserting the exist
ence of n treaty between Russia and
China, giving especial military and com
mercial advantages to the former, adding
that a Russian fleet of II vessels arrived
at Port Arthur, Monday.

pulses is not detrimental, unless tempered
by contact with the great outside world.
Some women, il is true, are tied down by
children and household cares to a cease
less indoor life, but they are not generally
the ones who succumb to house nerves,
one reason being that, forced out of contact
with others, they yearn always for the
privilege OF mingling in some sort of society,
embracing every chance thrown in their
way toward that end. But the woman who
stays at home because she might get sick by
venturng out in the cold, or because her
neighbor can entertain better than she can,
or dress better-or perhaps the habit has
become fixed by degrees to that extent that
it is like parting with tooth to get out OF
the routine-this is the woman who broods
and fancies and cries over mental pictures
of catastrophies that never happen and
meets troubles which never come.
Many a woman who. takes the trouble to
look at the reason Will acknowledge to these
flights of fancy fairly diseased by seclusion.
One touch with the outside world, and away
they all go, these dreams leaving her the
brighter for it.
ANY parent who owns highly imaginative
child owes it to society at large to throw it
i'll with healthy, merry companions, who
always effect complete cure, for mirth is
infectious. But if the unhappy owner is
repressed and kept indoors, some family in
the future viii feel the effects.
The cure is simple, but few follow IT,
Throw away your medicine and go visiting.
PatroniZe all the gayeties that your pocket
book affords Take long walks in the sun
shine, and whenever a morbid thought
comes, think up a necessary errand and it
will dissolve like mist before the sun. House
nerves can be cured, but only by natural
laws. Medicines dull, but do not cure.

mara, at the corner of Twelfth and Forts
streets, Brookland, D. C. With great rapid
ity the flames spread and ignited two new
frame houses on the west side OF Twelfth
street.
On account ofthe lack OF water the efforts of
the citizens to aid the fremen proved futile,
and the three structures were totally con-
sumed. The houses were owned by Mr.. j.
Sullivan, OF No. 739 East Capitol street, and
were occupied by Mr.. Southworth and Mr..
Horgan.
The loss on them amounts to 81 800, and
the loss on the stable to $50.

pairing for the Bows TO Form an Order.


The Confederate Veterans Association
had large and enthusiastic meeting last
night, at their headquarters, No. 910
Pennsylvania avenue, TO consider an i'm
portant resolution adopted at their last
meeting. A committee of five was, at that
time, appointed TO investigate and formu-
late a plan for the organization of the
Sons of the Confederate Veterans"
Chairman Thomas G. Garrett called
the meeting to order and after disposing
of the regular business matters before
the association, the resolution was read
for consider alton. The resolution read
as follows:
THAT the sons Of confederate veterans
residing in the District of Columbia. over
and above sixteen years of age, be re-
quested to organize an association to iEcite
fraternal feelings among the mselves.
and to take an active interest in preserving
an accurate history Of the actions of the
confederate veterans during the war be-
tween the States and to cooperate with
the Confederate Veterans Association in
its object and work"
Patriotic addresses were delivered for
and against the adoption of the resolution
by Hon. Holmes Conrad, r. Budd Lewis,
Miles Dean, DR.. Hammett, and George
Tubberyille.
The meeting adjourned after a lively
discussion, and action upon the resolution
postponed until the next regular business

morning recreations-for the evening is
unanimously kept for rest and sleep.
Lectures are coming in for deal or
attention: not merely those hours of inStruc-
ton furnished by well known and well-paid
travellers aud short story writers, but
from lecturers whom the clique themselves
provide, the lecture to be given in some
private drawing groom.
One OF two such gatherings of young
women have been styled Current Topic
clubs Twice a week the hours from IL
to ] are devoted to the discussion of hap
penings, social. political, religious. In
one club the lecturer is clever young
graduate of Smith College, who has been
persuaded for the first time in her studious
career TO take up the position OF expounder.
Her reading necessarily is extensive, cur
rent magazines and newspapers having to
be glanced over by her each day. She
gives. in terse remarks. a resume Of the
doings of the world 10 the ones who have
gathered to listen. The girls who form
the class declare that they also are studying
quite hard; if is certainly true that they
discuss vital topics with an interest and
enthusiasm that indicates that they are
doing quite a good bit of thinking on their
own account.
Another style of lecture is listening to
those interested in model architecture,
plumbing, drainage, and all the various
things about a house which its mistress
should know to preserve pleasant hy-
gienic conditions. These are given by
woman who has thoroughly mastered the
situation. and illustrates her talks with
blackboard diagrams.
