SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-When the
Durrant case was resumed this morning
the District Attorney presented affidavits
in answer to those OF the defense, in ask
ing for change OF venua on the ground
that he could not have a fair trial.
Twenty-Five aflidavits from merchants,
bankers, newspaper men. detectives,
policemen, and the District Attorney and
bis Assistant, and the committing magis-
trate were dled, stating that Durrant
conld have fair trial.
In denying the motion for change of
venue, Judge Murphy said that when the
application some years ago in the Golden
son case for a change of venue was made,
arguments had been presented by the de-
tendant much stronger than in the Dur
rant case. Iha Supreme Court had up
held the ruling denying the application
of Goldenson, which left him no doubt
of the wisdom of trying Durrant in
San francisco lie gave the defeuse the
right TO renew its motion at a future
time.
The Judge said he considered that some
OF the publications had been improper,
as tending to arouse d feeling against the
party, ana make it difficult TO secure
proper jurors lie condemned the pro-
posed play as an outrage against decency.
He said that he would take steps 10 pre-
vent tho proposed production during the
trlal. or while the case was pending in
the superior Court.
After brief recess the examination of
jurors began. It is expected that this
will take at least week.

hour this morning. They rushed from
their houses to see flames bursting from
the building occupied by w. j. Nc
Cormick as a saloon and residence. The
firemen were soon on hand, but before
they were able to subdue the flames the
house had been almost altogether oe-
stroyed.
Louise Mics, servant, was taken from
the house in badly injured condition.
and the doctors say that she will die. She
got up this morning at the usual time ana
began the preparation OF breakfast, the
family still being in bed. During hex
work she had occasion TO 60 to the cellar.
There is very little light in the cellar,

stairs she struck match and opened the
door 10 go in. But as she opened the door
a terrific explosion occurred that shook
1he whole neighborhood, badly wrecked
the house and blew the woman about
fifteen teet, where she fell unconscious
and badly injured.
Almost instantly flames burst forth.
and she would have been burned TO death
had not Mccormick, who had been hurled
from bed by the explosion, rushed down
stairs and found the woman lying near
the cellar door. He picked her up and
succeeded in carrying her to place OF
safety. She was terribly burned about
the face and body. and is supposed TO
have sustained serious Internal injuries
as well.
The explosion was undoubtedly due to
natural gas, which had been escaping in
the cellar all night, and was ignited by
the match held IN the woman's hand.

BosToN, July %. -Senor De LONE,
Spanish Minister to the United States,
WAS seen to-day at his villa in Swamp
scott, where he, his family and the le.a
ton are for the summer, in relation to the
reported firing by a Spanish man-of-war

Lane while off Cuba. The Minister stated
that even if the report was true the flag
had not been fired upon, and NO Insult

national law, wherein IL was stated that
men f-war OF nations were the police of
the high sea and had a right TO signal
vessels and to stop them if the command
eTs OF warshlps thought they were not
engaged in legitimate business. Ii they
did not stop alter the signals had been
given, then two blank shots should be
tred. This was simply to have the ves-
sci heave to.

view OF the Minister. The Minister COM
mended highly the manner in which the

TOXIC, July l2.-The most fatal disaster
hitherto suffered by the Japanese in their
struggle with China occurred at Kelung.
in Formosa. on the 9Th of June. After
the capture Of the place, large number
of cases of powder that had fallen into
the hands of the Japanese were placed IN
a temple under the guardianship OF q
company OF infantry.
Tho following morning steps were
taken to remove the powder to safer
place, but while the operation was in
progress q tremendous explosion took
place, killing an officer and tWenty-siX
soldiers, and wounding 120 non-commis-
stoned officers, soldiers. Japanese land
transport men and Chinese coolies.
Search revealed the fact that TWO Chinese
f|SO'
They were found concealed under the
temple with boring instruments and coils
of mining fuse in their possession. The
troops did not lynch the two miscreants,
as might have been expected, but
marched them OFT quietly for trial. Their
sentence is not yet announced.
The anti English feeling that prevailed
in Japan during the early part OF the war
with China has been replaced by a gem
eral desire for an alliance with Great
Britain.
The japanese nation recognizes that It's
most dangerous enemy is Russia, and
that its natural ally against the latter )
southwark encroachnents is England.
The new Japanese representative to
China, Mr.. Hayashi, arrived in Tlen
TsIn on the 10th OF juno, and was we'll
received, but the Viceroy Lii seemed dis
posed to diSsuade him from proceeding to
Pekin at once, on the ground that popu-
lar feeling was still so much excited aS
to render the journey unsafe. Many ru-
mOrs were Immediately circulated by the
local foreign press as TO sinister lnten-
tions on the part Of the Chinese states
men. They were charged with Il resolve
10 throw every possible obstruction i'll
the way of the new commercial conven-
ton that has to be negotiated under the
terms of the ShinOn0eski treaty, ana it
was even alleged that they contemplated
forcing fresh recourse to the sword.
Mr.. Aayashi, after four days stay in
Tien Tsin pushed on 10 Pekin without
molestation. He found the Japanese
Legation terribly dilapidated. During its
year without occupants the Pekin roughs
had dismantled it pretty thoroughly-ln
marked contrast to the Chinese Legation
in Toxic, which stands just as 1t was
whom vacated, except that weeds three
feet high flourish III tue courtyards. Mr
Hayashi had to go into a hotel pending the
repair OF the legation. but for the rest he
had no cause OF complaint.
The Chinese Government is not nearly
so black as the foreign local press loves
TO paint it, Since the conclusion of the
Shimonoeski treaty it seems disposed to
observe the dictates of good faith in all
its dealings with Japan.
