The Interclub Yacht Regatta yesterday
drew all the feet sailers out on the bay,
and long before the racers started away
cloud of white canvas was futtering here
and there over the harbor. A good sailing
wind blew in through the Golden Gate
steady all day. and strong enough to keep
the lee rails under the water and the
weather swell of the graceful hulls rolling
up in the sunshine.
Above the small-fry feet doomed the
three noble schooner-yachts, the Jessie,

9:15 o'clock on the night Minnie Williams was
murdered. This will jar with Durrant's state
ment that he was at DR.. VogePs house that
same evening at the Christian Endeavor meet
ing from O'Clock on. This discrepancy is ex-
planned on the ground that the prisoners mind
was in a riotous state consequent on his arrest
at the time he made 1t.
William Henry Theodore Durrant will
enter upon the sixth week of his trial this
morning, with nine jurors in the box and
three more to be secured. Two hundred We
niremen have been summoned to appear,
and one-half of them will do so at 10 o'clock
to-day, and if the needed jurors are not
secured from their ranks the other hun
dred will appear Tuesday morning. After
that, if more jurors are needed, the Sheriff
will be ordered to summon a special venire
and will go outinto the body of the county,
choosing whomsoever he pleases to answer
as to their qualifications.
1t is hoped and confidently predicted
that the three jurors will be secured ere
the end of the week and that the real trial
will begin on Monday morning next, when
the District Attorney will deliver his open
ing address and the prosecution will begin
IL
time will be consumed from the delivery of
the District Attorneys opening address
until the evidence and the fate of the pris-
oner is finally submitted to the jury is
merely matter of conjecture, but the
most sanguine do not put it at less than a
month.
The prosecution has at least twenty-five
witnesses who are known to the public.
How many more it is holding in reserve
until needed is known only to those on the
inside and they will not tell It is safe to
say that a dozen or fifteen more may be
counted upon. Counsel for the defense
state that they have just about fifty wit
nesses to bear up their side of the case
This makes from seventy-hve to ninety
witnesses to be examined, cross-examined
and re-examined and no one can predict
not knowing what over half of them are
expected to testify, Just how long each one
will be on the stand, what will be the
average of time occupied by each or how
long it will take to finish with them all. 1t
would seem, however, that the estimate
of a month is much too low. Two months
would be nearer the mark.
Since the adjournment of court last Fri
day the usual crop of stories concerning
the movements of Durrant at critical times
was no exception for the rule, two new
witnesses being announced for the de-
tense.
Their names are Marius Burnett, 318
Pine street, and Ed B. Mcpherson, 1903
Polk street. General Dickinson is quoted
as stating that their testimony is important
despite the fact that they state that it will
contradict the statement made by Durrant
on the night of his arrest. The police, as
well as the attorneys for the defense, have
been aware of the existence of these wit
nesses for sometime as is proved by state
ment given by them to Detective Charles
f. Cody ON April 16 last, four days after
the Williams murder. That statement is
as follows:
Marius Burnett, 31S Pine street, and Ed B.
MCPHERSON, 1903 Polk street, state that they
left the armory of the Light Battery, situated

STABBED BY A NEGRO.
Trainer Murphy Gets q Knife in Hi
Left Shoulder.

William Murphy, horse trainer at the
race track who has charge of Thomas
Tobin's Esperance, is lying at the Receiv-
ing Hospital with a stab wound two
inches deep in his left shoulder.
Murphy, early last evening, had a
quarrel with Dan Reeves, another trainer.
Reeves called to his aid negro named
Brown, who year ago severely cut a
white man called Saul. The pair found
Murphy at Carter's saloon, near the race
track. and tried to pick quarrel. Murphy
and friend who was with him left the sa-
loon, but were followed to the Shannon
by Reeves and his negro friend. There a
fight was started, during which the negro
stabbed Murphy. The wound is not con-
sidered dangerous.

The sixth week of the Durrant trial will be
entered upon this morning, with three more
jurors to secure before the box is filed and the
introduction OF testimony begins. Two hun
dred citizens have been summoned on the reg

that the necessary twelve will have been Sc
cured ere the week is over.
Since the last recess two witnesses for Dur
rant have been made known and their state
ments secured. They are Marius Burnett and
Ed B. MCPHERSON, and will testify that they

the bank at the fixed rate, or value, of e3 17s 9d per ounce-or in our money S1S92. As the Bank of Eng land is the great clearing house Of the world and the financial institution of the British empire, this fixes the price of gold permanently for the world. The only variation in price is that of exchange, or shipment. Anyone can now readily understand why gold ship ments from America are sometimes ac- tive and sometimes suspended. It is the difference in exchange from S1S.92 per ounce at the Bank of England, and the exchange in Wall street. Thus dis appears at once the gigantic fog-bank of intrinsic value" It makes of gold absolute fiat money-and gives Eng land the controlling advantage over all other countries in the supply of gold for it it only at the Bank of England that gold purchased at a fixed rate is made compulsory. It is only another evidence of the slavery of the United States treasury to the institution of Threadneedle street and emphasizes still more the crime of our present f. nancial policy.
 The readers can verify these facts by using the authorities now before us as we write, which are: Chambers Cyclopedia, Edinburg edition of 1884, vol. l., page 667; Encyclopedia Britan- nica, American edition of 1894, vol. XVI, page 5O7, article on Mint" It shows as conclusively as cause and eff feet that all this gold crusade and its consequences are brought about and are based on English legislation. How long will the people of America sub init to this gold policy that makes even the metal itself gravitate to it's control and use by the money lenders of London? No wonder, as MT. Glad stone remarked last week, that Eng land would still control the finances of the world ''if London only stood firm"

only offered for redemption because it is an easy way to get gold. If it could not be obtained in that way, those who want it would be forced to seek some other way of obtaining it. There can be but one reason for the refusal of the secretary of the treasury to do this and that is that he is member of the conspiracy to rob the people. Is it possible that the people of the United States will submit for eighteen months longer to be thus held up and robbed by the Rothschilds,. the Belmonts, the Morgans, Cleveland and Carlisle? Another issue of bonds is almost cer- tain. There is not shadow of excuse for it or any warrant of law.

ERA OF ORGANIZATION
frm.'' ''


 Those interested in watching the growing tendency of municipalities to establish their own lighting and water plants, and in noting the increasing sentiment in favor of government con- trol of railroad, telegraph and tele- phone service, must admit that we are gradually drifting toward a mild con- dition of socialism.
 Instead of the rampant political speaker who few years since stumped the country for individual indepen- dence, we are now controlled by po- litical machines and advised to make party campaigns through well-disci- plined organizations. Churches, cor porate enterprises, secret societies, and labor organizations have divided and subdivided our great social struc- ture into as many different bodies, and the independent American citizen is in reality almost a creature of the past.
 This inclination to organize is the natural outgrowth of progress, the re- suit of desire to fraternize for the promotion of mutual interests. It comes with an advanced state of civi- lization and is prompted by more general feeling that the weak should be protected from the strong. The survival of the fittest idea, which is a heritage of barbarism, is giving way to the humane sentiment that all men and women are entitled to prosperity, that organizations and mutual efforts are the only safeguards to be relied upon in resisting the encroachments of misdirected brain energy.
 When men employ the gift of intel lect to accumulate wealth at the ex- pense of the health and comfort of others they not only destroy opportu- mites for happiness, but are also the means of preventing a more rapid uplifting of humanity. It is this sell fish method of retarding the progress of the world that leads to organization and it's tendency is toward the final extinction of immense and oppressive fortunes

The prospect of locating colored people from this country on the east coast of Africa seems less encouraging than ever Out of 200 comprising the last colony which went to Liberia, over half died of fever. All suffered from privation, and nearly every promise made by the International Emigration society was unfulfilled. The few who have returned propose to show up these African colonization schemes.

The withdrawal of gold from the treasury of the United States can be stopped finally and for all time on any day that MT. Carlisle desires to do so. All that is necessary to do this is, when legal tenders are presented for redemp- tion to redeem them in silver. The course is fully warranted by both the law and the contract and there can be no honest objection to it. If this were done of course no more government paper would be presented. Nobody wants it redeemed. It is preferred to specie. The government notes are

INTRINSIC" VALUE OF GOLD.


 The gold men are always full of the intrinsic value of go1d,' and that by some mysterious law of nature in the adjustment of her mineral deposits gold is endowed with the occult power of infallibility, and like the infinite, never changes.
 A friend has sent us a pointer says the Kansas City Journal, that has been generally overlooked, Hhat explains the whole matter-one that very care full silver men have overlooked. In Horr's debate with Harvey he fairly howled over the fact-attributing the stable value of gold to the uniform cost of mining it. Elaborate calcula tions have been made to show that 1t costs no more mine silver, dollar for dollar, than gold-a fact well proved and thus an answer to that argu- ment satisfactorily anOrded.
 But here is the real cause: Eng land is the pioneer gold government, and has very effectively provided herself with the means to maintain a supply. The Bank of England is the real treasury of the British empire, and as gold is made the ultimate money of redemption-or the sole pri- mary money-provision is made for a fixed value and full supply. Thus by law, or by it's charter, the Bank of England is required to purchase all gold bullion, all light weight gold coin and all foreign gold coin presented at

A SONG CALLED FOR.

1t seems to Us that a frst-class song to
the name of Washington would be a
good thing to have for use every year on
the 22d of February. 1t is needed. 1t
would become popular. Nothing short
of first-elass song, or hymn, or anthem,
could be made to go. We otter the sug-
gestion to poets of the right kind

The brother who wrote the song sung
at the meeting of the Young Mems Re-
publican club IN Burlington two weeks
ago should be enlisted in this enterprise.
We give the closing stanzas Of the song,
which are fair average of the whole, to
show the clOUdless resplendency of the
authors genius. Ills mastery 0f meter,
his happy faculty for choosing words
and above all his avoidance of the com

Bandannas soon will he outclassed,
They'll be a relic OF the past,
When with the young Republicans we're
