THIRD EDITION.
THE DURANT TRIAL.
It Is Evident the Defense Will Not Conhne It. self to the AIibi-As to the
 Gas.

San Francisco, Sept 27.-Today was the tamest session of the Durant case It was expected that the defense would continue in its efforts to show that Du- rant was at the college on the afternoon but instead it switched off to the tech nical matters connected with the church The consequence was a tame day or prosaic points a bout marks on the church tower door and the sunburners. Durant alleges he was repairing an electrical vibrator. This was not without its use in the case, and in that portion relating to the sunburnerS. the defense showed that there was defective ventilation around them, and that their theory as to gas having overcome Durant on the af- ternoon of the murder was not altogether untenable
 Edwin ". Carpenter. gas litter, who examined the sunburners at the request of the defense, testified that the ventila- tors above them afforded no draught and that he had found the damper in one of them closed. His investigation showed that a person in the position Durant al leges he was in fixing the apparatus con- nected with the Sunburners might have been overcome by an escape of gas. The gas supply connected with the burners was on at 75 feet from the Sunburners and the floor below them. Any one fix ing the apparatus if alone, as Durant is alleged to have been. would he said have had to turn on the gas before ascending to the burners This Durant alleges he did. but there is no evidence to the effect that he turned the gas off again. During the time Organist King was absent for the bromo-seltzer, he says, he was lying down on a platform in the Sunday school room, and he did not turn the gas oil after that, according to the statement of King

 A STORMY SESSION.

Colonel Aldrch Offered an Amendment
 Shutting Out the Negro.
 Columbia, s. C., Sept. 27.-The night session was cne of the stormiest the con- vention has ever held. Col Robert Ald rich offered an amendment which denied to the negro the right to hold any office in the state, and for an hour and a half ar gued from decisions from the supreme court and the congressional records, con taining the story of the passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. that the right had never been given the negro to hold office by the United States constitution or amendments. He seemed to impress many members to such an ex- tent that Senator Tillman jumped on him with both feet and stormy hour or more followed. Colonel Aldrich and Till man had it hot and heavy. Tillman was never more vehement in all his life He told them that if they did not kill the matter then they would make the great est mistake of their lives: they would be ruined. Tillman's influence controlled the situation, and despite persistent efforts to adjourn the convention laid Colonel Aldrich's scheme on the table by vote of 102 10 25.

SIR LI0NEL'S KICK.
1T SEEMS TO HAVE AMAZED
THE DIPLOMATS IN
LONDON.
ILL ADVISED AT THE LEAST
1T MIGHT STRAIN RELATIONS
THAT OUGHT NOT TO BE
UNPLEASANT
BAYARD MAY BE REsENTFUI
Opinion at Washington That the
American Ambassador Could
RighteOusly Complain.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The statements
made by Lord Sackville, who as
Sir Lionel Sackville-West, was the
British minister at Washington from
1881 to 1889, in pamphlet marked
For private circulation only" the
substance of which was printed in
the United States today, have caused
amazement in diplomatic circles.
Truth, commenting on the state
ments made, says: whether it was
courteous or judicious for Lord Sack
vile to publish this attack when Mr..
Bayard is ambassador in London is
a debatable question, to which it
may, however, reasonably be replied
that Mr.. Bayard was immeasurably
more discourteous and injudicious in
his behavior towards SackvilIe-
West when the latter was at Wash
ington. Mr.. Bayard, therefore,
would be mean to complain of this
point. But the matter acquires ex-
ceptional interest when it is con-
sidered side by side with a recent
dispute regarding the race for the
Americas cup. 1t should be re-
membered that Sackville-West was
the victim of an election trick. An
indiscreet expression of opinion upon
his part was exaggerated for the
purpose of exciting anti-English agi-
tation. The trick was successful,
| and Sackville-West was handed his
papers. England, in the persons of
her envoy, was grossly and wanton-
ly insulted. Mr.. Cleveland, how
| ever, failed to secure the election.
I'm our relations with America ex-
| perience teaches us always to be on
the alert. This has made the En-
glish, perhaps, over-suspicious, and,
being so, they possibly imagine
trickery where it does not exist. For
this reason it is especially advisable
that international contests be dis
continued until this impression is re-
/ moved, or the Americans realize
that they are sufficiently strong to
depend upon themselves without the
support of sharp practice. The two
nations are very nearly allied, and
| everything should be done on both
sides of the Atlantic to unite them
| more closely. Both nations have
much in common. In America they
| have our peers and in England we
| have their heiresses."

N. p. PETITIONS.

Several Filed by the Old Receiv-
ers That Have Been Withheld.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 9.-Just
before the resignation Of the former
Northern Pacific receivers was ac-
cepted a petition was presented ask
ing for authority to purchase GER
tain lands in Washington, and Judge
Jenkins now has the petition under
advisement. Though filed before the
resignation was accepted, the petit
ton has not been given out up to
the present time. 1t asks, in SUBJ
stance, authority to purchase lands
between the low tide mark and the
high tide mark along the Pacific
coast. The Northern Pacific COM
'pany considered that this land was
included in the Washington grant,
but the courts have decided that it
was not and a commission has been
appointed by the state of Washing
ton to plat the lands and put them
on the market, though giving the
occupants, if any, the right to pur-
chase it if application be made with
in sixty days of the filing of the
plats.
The property, however, is entirely
within the jurisdiction of Judge Han
ford, so the attorneys are looking
forward with considerable interest
to the manner in which the petition
will be disposed Of.
There is also another petition
which has been withheld. The re-
ceivers ask authority to make i'm
provements which will require an
expenditure of $4,000. Part of the
proposed improvements is within the
Montana jurisdiction. Livingstone
has also filed answer objecting to
the granting of this petition, and he
bases his objections on. the ground
that Judge Jenkins has no jurisdic-
ton in the matter.
