A Plan of Action

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-The de-
fense in the Durrant case has decided
upon plan Of action.
An appeal will be taken to the supreme
court on the grounds that the jury was
intimiuated by newspaper criticism and
vas forced to bring in verdict OF guilty.
The usual technical objections to the
trial will. of course. be made, but they
Will be subsidiary to the main argument
that newspaper discussion made it i'm
possible for the accused to receive a fair
trial.
The uefense will argue that they were
sensational and thoroughly biased against
the defendant. 1t will be claimed that
they created public sentiment which
the jury did not dare resist. With such a
plea Durrant will go before the supreme
court for reversal OF the Judgment of
the lower court and for an ordsr Tor new
trial. If that be denieu him he will pay
the penalty for his terrible crime with
his life.

Drawing the Silver Line-A. p. A. Against

OMAHA, Nov. 1.-The close of the
political campaign in Nebraska tonight
was not marked by any unusual demon
stration in the state. This contest is
merely of interest as drawing sharply
the line between the Democratic faction
in the silver issue and the vote will
clearly demonstrate the exact strength
of each in Nebraska. Silver men have,
it is said By Nebraska politicians, lost
cast. however. among Democrats in this
state since last year. In Omaha the great
battle has been between the A. P. A. and
Citizens Reform party; in fact it is the
mass of the citizens of all creeds and
political color against the A. p. A. 1t
has been the hottest contest in the city $

 WASHINGTON, April 29.-Ex-Congress- man John M. Langston, the attorney of ex-Consul Waller, who is imprisoned at St. Pierre by the French, is determined to push the case with all the power he possesses Tn the first place." said he, we propose to maintain the con- sessions obtained by Mir. Waller in Madagascar. The whole purpose of the prosecution and persecution of Waller by the French government was to despoil him of the concessions he procured. The French government realizes the concessions are of immense value. Then we intend to force the French government to pay to Waller an indemnity commensurate with the persecution he has undergone. He was given mock trial, was threatened and finally conveyed in irons to France, where he now lies in prison awaiting civil trial"

Tier Indemnity Is Not Paid.
 WASHINGTON, April 20.-The state de- partment has been advised that the British will lombard Corinto unless the indemnity is paid. A special to the New York World from Manapua Nicaragua, says: Communication with Corinto has been interrupted. A rumor is in circulation that the United States has requested Great Britain to grant Nicaragua two weeks to pay the indemnity before resortirg to force and that Great Britain has agreed to do so, Government officials will only say that there is nothing decisive vet. Nlcaragua's answer to the ultimatum was handed Adm. Stephenson Friday. It refused to accept England's pro- posals.
 If the occupation of Corinto fails in It's object and Great Britain should de- clare war on Nicaragua, it is said that the administration would still decline to interfere, so long as the war was carried on, not for the aggrandizement of Great Britain or the acquisition of territory, but for the sole purpose of collecting the indemnity. To go be- yond that, however, the administra- ton, it is said, would consider it vio- lation of the Monroe doctrine.

 Resolved, If the senate concur, that we in- yite the Canadian people to cast in their lot with their own continent and assure them that they shall have all that the continent can give them We will respect their freedom of action and welcome them, when they desire 1t, into an equal and honorable union.

A DEATH TRAP.
Fire In aCanadian Tobacco Factory--Nine Hundred Women and Girls Imprisoned in fh>I IH,,II.


 Hundred Women and Girls Imprisoned in the Building.
 MONTREAL, Can., April 26.-W. c. McDonald's extensive tobacco factory on Ontario street was partially des- troyed by fire yesterday evening. The loss will reach $500, 0OO on which there is no insurance. There was not fire escape on the outside nor any appli- ances on the inside of the building for the fighting of the fire. Even the windows were guarded by heavy iron screens, presumably to prevent theft.
 The fire started at o'clock in the drying room, and for while was smothered. Then suddenly the flames burst through and a most awful panic ensued. There were 900 employees in the building and more than half this number were women and girls. The shrieks of the women as they beat against the iron screen, praying the crowd to do something to save them, were heartrending. As the flames burst out three firemen were on the roof and for fully twenty minutes their lives were de- spaired of, till finally ladders were found to bring them down. They were badly burned. The girls were nearly all on the fourth floor and frantic with fear. With much trouble one of the iron lattices was knocked off, when one of the girls jumped and was almost shattered to pieces when she reached the roof of an adjoining warehouse. In similar manner the others followed to the number of thirty.
 So far one is known to be dead, and several are believed to be in the ruins So far as the firemen have been able to prosecute the rescue no bodies have yet been discovered.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS.
Secretary Morton Opposed to Their Dlstr,-
 button by tongressmen,


 button by tongressmen.
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-Secretarv Morton thinks he has found way to break up the congressional custom of scattering millions of packages of garden seeds all over the country. He k now considering whether it will be cNpedient to make the fight for reform and dare the wrath of statesmen, who favor the garden seed distribution. The secretary has collected evidence of the misuse of the seed privilege, but he recognizes that it will be severe -struggle to wrest from congressman any of thcir perquisites. During the lasr congress Secretary MortoD asked VI: less money be ex- pcnde'Rin pSrchpsing seeds, and that he be given an appropriation for the distribution of farmers bulletins that would contain information of Eractical value. Congress ga~s him this appro- priat!on, but 'cIung to that for seeds also. Tut when the language of the appropriation comes to be critically %Samined, an opening seems to present itself for carrying out SecrreAN Nor tons views. The appropriation reads: For the purchase, propa, cation and distribution, as re- !ujred by law, of valuable ~ecds. bulbs," etc. Then comes pro- vtso which explicitly states that there ,hall be no diversion of this appropria- ton. but that it shall be used for the purchase, etc, of improved and valu- able seeds" According to the sections of the statutes, all of which are still unrepealed, the secretary will be justi- fled in restricting the appropriation to the purchase of rare and valuable seeds, aS expressed in the language of the statute, and refusing to purchase the hundreds of tons of ordinary garden seeds, such as have been distributed yeac after year.
