To SHOW the character of the so, call.
ed statesmen who compose the present
Congress of the United States, it is
only necessary to mention the fact that
no less than four Senators and large
number of Representatives have pub
licly expressed themselves in favor of
sending commission to Cuba to inves-
tigate affairs there and of recogniz-
ing the negro and mulatto insurgents
as belligerents. Ofcourse Spain could
not prevent Congress from recognizing
the insurgents or from doing any thing
else suggested by its whims, but she
would be perfectly justified by all gov
ernments that recognize information al
law in Selling and hanging the mem
beers of any commission sent to Cuba by
any foreign nation to interfere with her
affairs in that island.

understood that the members of the
government bond syndicate were al

Durrant's Defence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 2l.-No effort
is made to disguise the fact that an
abb will constitute the main feature of
Durrant's defence. At least two wit
nesses will swear that they saw Blanche
Lamont alive after the hour in which
she is supposed to have been murdered.
Another feature to be presented will
be an argument that Durrant would
with little reason have offered to sell
the diamond ring to the pawnbroker,
since Durrant had no need of the pal
try sum the sale of the ring would
have brought. Oppenheim, the pawn
broker, will resume his testimony
on Monday, and will be followed by
the gas filters who repaired the fixtures
at Emanuel Church just previous to
the murder. District Attorney Barnes
will then rest the case for the people,
reserving his remaining witnesses for
rebuttal.

THE BALTIMORE american, republi-
can, which, like the Sun of the same
city, is doing its best for the defeat of
the democratic and the election of the
republican ticket in Maryland, says the
severest blow the democratic ticket has
received SO far has been 'deslt by the
democratic administration at Washing
ton," and that "the most urgent ap-
peals to that administration to help the
democratic party" have been in vain,
rs was the case in New York
last year. And yet the democrats
of Maryland rallied to g man to the
support of the national democratic
ticket in 1872, though thousands of them
would have preferred any other man
at the head of it than Mr.. Cleveland.
That reliable republican newspaper
should feel itself warranted in making
such an assertion as that referred to
passes the comprehension of old time
democrats. But to the moderns it is
the cause of no special wonder.

ELLIceTT Cry, Nd, Sept. 21.-sen-
ator German was to-day the star of at
traction at an all day meeting in LIZ
reno Warfeld's woods at GleneIg,
Howard county. Senator German made
memorable address there in the pre- :
idential contest of 1892 in which he
eulogized Mr.. Cleveland. No incon-
siderable number were on the scene to-

had been published that he would again

HER IDEA OF BIGAMY.

A prepossessing young woman, whose
maiden name was Miss Maude Lilly,
and whose home is at Pottstown, Pa,
was arraigned in the Police Court in
Washington yesterday and held for a
further hearing upon the charge of
bigamy. Less than two months ago
she was married in Pottstown to Mr..
John V. Goodman. of that city. She
lived with him in Philadelphia until a
few days ago, in the meantime keeping
up q correspondence with George W.
Crosby, of Washington, to whom she
was engaged prior to her marriage
with Goodman. She came to Washing
ton few days ago at the request Of
Crosby and they were married, the
man being unaware of her former
matrimonial venture. Her husband
followed her and had her arrested. He
was in the Police Court yesterday and,
with his wife and her husband No. 2,
occupied bench together. ALI three
conversed together pleasantly. In ex-
PLANTATION of her conduct the young
woman said
Mamma wanted me to marry Mr..
Goodman and / wanted to marry Mr..
Crosby. Things became rather un.
comfortable, and so I thought the best
way OUT of it was to marry the man
mamma wanted me to first, and then
marry the man / wanted afterward.
Now, can't see any harm in that. I
couldn't see any objection to it, and I
can't for the life of me see why girl
shouldn't be allowed to do little thing
like that if she wants to-"
ITO which husband does your heart
incline now, Miss Lily ?"
Bending her head in modest man
ner, the young woman blushingly adj
mitted that her second attempt was the
man she preferred.
The young woman was afterward
given seat in the narrow hallway by
the cells back of the courtroom, and
here she and her husbands had long,
whispered conference, in which they
still acted like the best of friends. At
the conclusion of the talk Goodman
and Crosby went off together. Crosby
said that he would endeavor to secure
bonds for the woman, as he did not
wish to have her stay in Jail until her
trial.
Goodman is q gas-ftter and Crosby is
q stair.builCser.

DURRANr's TR1AL.-In San Francis.

DURRANT's TRIAL.-In San Francis
co yesterday the prosecution in the
case of Durrant announced that its wit
nesses would be through with direct
examination next Wednesday. The
crowd at the trial yesterday exceeded
in size that of any previous day since
the case opened.
Frank o. Sidman, formerly janitor at
the church, testified that in the latter
part of March Durrant and King had
put in q new lock on one of the doors,
to which they only had keys. They
had stated their object was to keep out
of the library persons who had no bust
ness there.
Adolph Oppenheimer, pawn brok-
or, testified that on the 4th and 10th of
April Durrant came to his store and
offered for sale ring with small chip
diamond.
The witness selected a ring from those
identified as belonging to Blanche La
mont and said that was the ring offered
him by Durrant. he had declined to
purchase it, and Dnrrant had taken it
away with him.
The witness stated that since testify
ing at the preliminary examination he
had received two letters offering him
brides to modify his testimony. One
of the letters offered him $500 on con-
dition that he stated on the stand that
he could not positively identify Dur
rant.
He was not to see any one in connec-
ton with the bride until after he had
given his testimony, when the money
would be paid him. The second letter
was of similar character. The wit
ness said he had turned both letters
over to the police.
