LONDON, Aug. 10.-The gathering of
the yachts and yachtsmen at Cowes this
week for the famed "Cowes week. has
not been as large and brilliant as custom
ary. There are two reasons put forth in
explanation of this. In the first place
there. is no doubt that the incIement
weather has great deal to do with max
ing the yacht meet unsuccessful and damp
ening the briliancy of the various fetes
at and about Cowes. But it is probable
that the real reason for the lack of bright
color at Cowes this week was the ia 1T that
the assemblage of aquatic enthusiasts
there last year was so great on the &C.
count of the presence OF Mr.. George
Gould's sl0op Vlgilant as competitor
aginst the Prince of Wales cutter Britain
MIA, that the gathering just ended lost
in effect by comparison. Then, again,
there wore not any Americans present at
the races off Cowes this week, and there
is no denying that the visiting Americans
are fast becoming one of the features of
every important public function in Eng
land. This is having good effect in
many ways. 1t IS teaching Englishmen

those islands that war paint and feathers
are not necessarily part OF the costume of

giving Americans an insight to English
costumes and character which they could

briefly, it may be said that those who
complain of the admiration" which
some Am orleans are said to manifest to-

the thought that the disting uished Amer

respect. and is received with muck moro

Americans from Cowes has thrown wet
blanket over the proceedings and every

THE DURRANT TRIAL
It Is Expected That the Actual Trial Will
Begin With the Fifth Week


Begin With the Fifth Week
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10.-Monoay
will be the beginning of the fourth week
of the tiial of Theodore Durranr for the
murder o. Blanche Lamont, and the only
progress made has been the selection of
nine jurymen to try the case. A great
deal of Interest centers in the action
Judge Murphy will take as to Juror
Brown. 1t is generally believed he will
allow the challenge of the district attor-
ney and relieve Brown of jury duty on
the ground that the district attorney did
not know of Browns experience in the
district Court in the Howell counterfeit
ing case. 1t is believed the jury box will
be filled next week even should the retire.
ment of Brown make the selection of four
more talesmen necessary. With only
four to select flom the two hundred
veniremen summoned for Monday, the
prospect is good for commencing the
actual trial on the fifth week. 1t is said
that Durrant's hope lies in convincing
the jury of his innocence. and not in an
appeal to technical points. The prospects
are that the case Will be complicated, but
Judge Murphy's rulings in criminal cases
usually hear the scrutiny of an appe Hate
court. The sheriff fears that some at
tempt may be made to harm Durrant.
This is not due to public sentiment but
to the fear that some crank may desire to
win notoriety by assailing such promi-
nent prisoner. Every piecaution Is taken
TO prevent an assault.

Thinks He Is an Express Train and
Californian
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Ang. 10.-There
is in the county Jail awaiting vacancy
in the Pontiac asylum.a young man who
imagines he is a train of cars. He was
brought here from Milan and gives the
name of Walter Rogers. He sayshis home
is in San Francisco hence he made q re-
markable fast run, often attaining a
speed OF ninety miles an hour. He
spends nearly all his time initiating the
noises attendant on the starting up and
stopping OF trains. Every sound and
movement he produces with startling
fidelity to detail. When the officer found
him he was on the rail road track. and
from his action was just getting up steam.
Soon he said it was time to start, and
ordered the fireman to fill the tank With
water and the tender with coal, Initiating
every act perfectly. Then he pulled out
the throttle. started the train running
so fast it was necessary to head him off
with horse. His whistle 1or "down
hraKes' can be heard great distance.
He is about II years old. 1t is believed
the name and address he gives are both
false and the officers are anxious to know
whence he came.

tion to building branches to Pasadena
and MonrOvia direct, proposes TO pullu
a line which will be in the shape OF an
immense compound curve, beginning
at Redlands and passing through san
Riverside, Chino, Pomona, GOWNS, and
ending at FL Monte. where 1t touches the
main line for Los Angeles.
The line to be built leaves the main
line at FL Monte. and branches out in
northeasterly direction, and is the hrst
of the succession of three loops which are
to be buil,, il the company's plans have
been guessed right. TO Covina, more than
half the distance tO be embraced in the
first loop, the right of wav has been Sc
cured, and grading begun. But at Covina
q break occurs, and to fill in the gap be-
tween there and Pomona, five or six miles
OF right of way must be secured, If the
com pany intends to complete the line
into Pomona.
1t is known that agents and right OF
way men have been along tho supposed
route, and it is also known that they
found properly held at a stiff price. They
are also having difficulty to get proper
entrance into Pomona, on account OF OBJ
jections by the city trustees. Recently
the railroad people have been prospect
ing in tho direction Of Ontario, and
while it is not thought that they wish to
get so tar east before crossing over to the
SOIll0 Sue OF tDS Ildlu llue, Stllt LUolE
ways are past finding out.
But thoIe is good ground for believing
that they will secure a right OF way and
cross at Pomona, for the reason that one
OF the main objective points is Chino, and
the rich business of the sugar factory.
To place this town on the second loop, a
crossing at Pomona seems necessary.
From Pomona to this city, the right OF
way has been secured and is ready for the
coming of the graders. That fell within
the district OF Col. I. J. Wilson, of this
city, who himself or by his agents has
secured what the company wanted for
the whole length of the line, coming by
Chino, South Riverside, Riverside and
OF the Santa Fe from South Riverside TO
this city. While Colonel Wilson has
maintained an obdurate silence, and even
claimed that he was not IN possession of
TIE railroad peoples secret, yet 1t is alb
solutely certain that he has the right of
way from Pomona 10 this city, Pomona
to Cotton completing the second loop.
But beginning at the east line OF this
city's limits, there comes another break.
the proposed line extending to the Santa
Ana river, and it is to secure this that a
public meeting was held in this city, and
committees appointed to negotiate right
of way. The land along the line indi-
Gated is held at exorbitant figures, and
such that un less m IRE satisfactory price
can be named, condemnation proceedings
will be necessary.
The railroad people do not look favor
ably upon this method Of proceeding if
it can be avoided, and are therefore anx-
ious that the gap of little over two
miles may be secured by the Intervention
OF the citizens committee.
