Yokohama, Oct. "a dispatch received
today from Seoul, the capital of Corea
announces that order has been restored
and Japanese troops are now guarding
the palace. The cause Of this action on
the part of the Japanese commander at
Seoul was that Tai Ron Kin, the kings

an armed force, threatening the queens
life. Although no definite statement was

THE PRISONER is TO TESTIFY
Care WIN Be Taken to Allow the Prose
curion No Chance TO Learn
the Truth.

ing Of the eleventh week of the Durrant
trial tomorrow the defense will make
a final struggle to break down the
testimony of the prosecution. process
which is expected to last three days
longer. A few more students will be
called to the stand. several additional
citizens will testify to Durrant's eX-
cellent reputation and then the defend
ant himself will be called to the witness
stand. 1t is the intention Of the de-
tense to have Durrant recount the his
tory Of his adventures on April from
the time he accompanied Blance La
mont to school until the hour when he
retired to rest in his fathers house. 1t
is understood that the defendants tes-
timony will be guardedly given for the
purpose of shutting off the cross-ex-
aminatio of the district attorney. I'm
der the law laid down by the supreme
court a witness can not be cross-ex-
amined except upon actual matters
brought out upon direct examination.
The defense intends to leave no loop
holes for the attack of the prosecu-
ton.
Naturally the subject uppermost in
Attorney Dueprey's mind was the dam
aging statement made by DR.. Gilbert
f. Graham against Durrant which was
published today The knowledge that
Durrant's classmate had announced his
intention to go on the witness stand
and testify that the accused had con-
fessed to him that he had no notes Of
DR.. Cheney's lecture, nettled the attor-
ney not a little, although he declared
that he was confident Of breaking Ora
ham down on crOss-examination.
What do I think of Graham's state
ment?" said Mr.. Dueprey. repeating the
question asked him. "Why, I am
amazed at it. I can not understand it,
really. 1 have talked with Graham and
he never mentioned such a thing to
me. Now, want to tell you something
We have simply landed DR.. Graham in
an uncomfortable place. He says now
that Durrant told him that he had no
notes of that lecture and wanted to bor-
row his (Graham's), presumably to
copy them in order to bolster up an
alibi. Now, the fact Of the matter is,
Durrant's notes Of DR.. Cheney's lee
ture were in the possession Of General
Dickinson and myself long before Ora
ham ever called at the jail. We had
them in our possession almost from the
time Of Durrant's arrest. What will
DR.. Graham's testimony amount to as
against that? What need would Dur
rant have had for Graham's notes ?"
During your interview with Ora
ham, did he not tell you that Durrant
had confessed that he had no notes Of
DR.. Cheney's lecture and wanted Ora
hams in order to copy them and
strengthen his alibi?''
Never in the world" replied Deu-
prey, with emphasis. "He never even
intimated such thing
but suppose Graham goes on the
witness stand and testifies that such
was the case?"
Then 1 will say that he testifes to
something which is untrue,

CURIOUS BURIAL CUSTOMS.
Province of France in Which Skulls Are
 Put in Boxes.

Province of France in Which Skulls Are
 Put in Foxes.
 Think of land so crowded that only the rich can afford to have grave! And that land is not China, or Inda, but modern, prosperous France.
 Down in the quaint little Basque province, among the people that lived there centuries before the rest of France and Spain were settled, and whose language had a closer resem- blance to the North American Indian and Chinese than French or Spanish, they have curious ways. One of them is, after a man has been dead a year or so, to take up his bones aud throw all except the skull into a great pit dug in the floor of a chapel and grated over. The skull they put into queer little box with a steeple on it that looks like one of those birdhouses you see perched up among the branches, and through the heart-shaped hole in front the eye socket staring out.
 All around the bare little chapel are shelves from floor to ceiling with these liotlc houses neatly arranged side by side. the occupant of each staring fxedly through his little front door at his neighbor. If skull crumbles, the dust is shaken into pit, and the little houSe has soon new occupant. They have quaint custom in this same queer country on All Saints day. A great many of the relatives live at a I and say prayer over the grave, or else are rheumatic and find kneeling on the damp, chilly ground not conducive to comfort, so they hire small boy for so much quarter of an hour to say their prayers for them. In consequence all over the cemetery you may see small boys devoutly digging their little bare toes into the ground and repeating the prayers in a businesslille manner, that must give the powers above a curious impression of human love and remem- brance.
 In Paris they have the same custom of eXhuming the bones after certain time, but there they throw them all in the common trench, where the poor are crowded together in death, as they are crushed together in life There is also curious survival of French feeling in our own country-in New Orleans-on this very subject. There they have catacombs above the ground, and the coffin is put in one of the inches, which is then filled with quicklime and sealed up. Just as soon as the lime shall have destroyed the contents of the niche it is opened and made ready for the re- ception of a new occupant.

that of a Shorthorn bull and Galloway dam, in which early maturity is a great feature.
 The Galloways were first brought to this country about fifteen years ago, since which time they have made their way steadily. Their hardness adapts them to the ranches of the west, and their ease of acGliina tion creats a de- mand for them in the south. In both places their ability to withstand varia- tions in temperature has made them of great service for crossing with native races Thelr skins are valuable for robes.
 The Galloways are boiled or horn less breed, black in color. with a brownish tinge in win ter; skin thick but soft and pliable, with long, silky hair with soft thick coat of wool un- derneath; the head short and wide be- tween the eyes, which are large and prominent: medium-sized ears; short neck: breast wide; body long and round. with straight back and short, strong legs.

 This breed derives its name from the province of Galloway in the south western portion of Scotland. It is one of the oldest races, and it is highly probable that it and the Aberdeen Angus have common ancestry, being descended from the polled variety of the original forest breed. The Gallo ways are coming more and more to the front in Great Britain. They are in great demand for crossing purposes, as the superior sweetness and ju;ciness of their beef is well recognized in the London market. A favorlte cross is

 With finder and finder boxes has also vanished the rushlight which, when William Cobbett was boy, English cottagers used to make for themselves by gathering rushes and dipping them successively in melted tallow until suf- fcient thickness of adipose matter was obtained In houses where refinement was supposed to prevail the rushlight was placed in a japanned tin shade per forated with circular orifces, and the insomnolent invalid had the pleasure of contemplating large number of round spots of light on the ceiling, reflected from the rush. light screen.

Seventy years ago gas was lit- tie used; there were no railroads, few steambodts and no lucifer matches; yet, as Walter Besant might put it, the world went very well then.

 To the present generation it may seem next door to incredible that in the first years of the reign of William ". there were no lucifcr matches. In lieu thereof there were only long matches or splints of wood tipped at each cd with melted sulphur, and, before the complicated system of dipping the sui phuretted match in concentrated sul- phuric acid came into use, these matches were kindled by first striking a light with flint and steel and then causing the spark to ignite small quantity of tinder-an infammable substance, usu- ally composed of partially burned linen.
