The Durrant Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-Yesterday g
developments in the Durrant trial gave
promise that another week will end it.
The defense will close its direct case
to morrow then comes rebuttal, which
will occupy about four days. Allow
ing two days for argument the case
should go the jury next Friday week.
To days proceedings will be largely
devoted to an effort on the part of Dur
rants attorneys to show that some
Interior influence had been at work up
on the witness Lannehan. Lannehan
had stated that he had endeavored to
pawn a ring similar to that worn by
Blanche Lamont, and as his clothing
resembled Durrant's dress, it was pos
sible that the pawnbroker had con-
founded him with Durrant. When he
took the stand yesterday Lannehan
changed many OF his statements very
materially.

The DURRANT TRIAL.-The defense
in the Durrant trial in San Fran
cisco is nearing the close of its case.
It will probably reach it this week. 1t
is understood G. T. Lenaban, the
young man who says he visited Adolph
Oppenheimer's pawnshop and who, it
is claimed by the defense, was mistak-
en- for Durrant by the pawnbroker,
testified that he had gone to the
pawnshop and offered a band ring
with q chip diamond similar to that
worn by Blanche Lamont. He had a
brief conversation with the pawnbrok.
broker, similar to that said to have
been had by Durrant. His ring was
not accepted and he left the store, 60
ing in the same direction as that said to
have been taken by Durrant. Lena
han testified that his visit was on the
afternoon of April Is, instead of on
morning, between the 4th and 10th, as
testified to by Oppenheimer. Another
point for the defense was made by 81.

THE EPIsCOPALIANs.

In the house of bishops of the Episco-
pal convention at Minneapolis yester.
day favorable committee report was
made on the proposal for the division
of the dioceses of Maryland, Kentucky,
and California. A resolution sepa-
rating the missionary jurisdiction OF
Wyoming and Idaho into two jurisdic-
tions was referred.
The house of deputies decided by So
81 in favor of the term "bishop coadju-
tor" instead of assistant bishop" A
Committee was named to report suit
able action on the Armenian atrocities.
The invitation of New Orleans for the
next convention made the fourth one
received. Two messages were re-
ceived from the house of bishops. The
first recommended the use ofthe word
constitution in the plural in the title OF
the revised documents. This was con-
Cured in, SO to 10, with seven divided.
The second message took up subse-
quent sections. The recommendation
that the word convention be retained
instead of the proposed synod, was neg
atived by the deputies.
The house of deputies had warm
debate over the question of adopting
the term primate as the title of the
senior member of the house of bishops.
A message had been received from the
house of bishops announcing that it
had adopted section 2 of article ofthe
revised constitution with the word pri.
mate and the question being on the
matter of concurring with the house of
bishops, George G. Thomas, of Phila-
delphia, offered an amendment chang
ing the word primate to presiding
bishop. The amendment was lost, re.
ceiving 152 votes, while the opposition
mustered 1872 votes. The word primate
may be the object of another attack but
it looks as if it would finally be
adopted.
The committee on location of the
next convention reported in favor of
Boston, Mass.
