THE TRIAL OF

In the D%urrant murder trial at san
Francisco yesterday the prosecuting
attorney commenced the introduction
of evidence. The first witness was G.
G. Noble, the uncle of Blanche La
mont. He testified to her disappear
ance on April 8, and the finding of her
body in Emanuel Church on April Il.
The next witness wa DR.. ]. S. Bar
rett, who described the autopsy. He
said death was due to strangulation.
On the left cheek were several marks
made by finger nails. He expressed
the opinion that the finger marks on
Blanche Lamont's throat we're made
by only one person. There were NO
solids and very little liquid in her
stomach, this statement carrying out
the theory that the girl was murdered
between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon. The discoloration of the
girls neck gave evidence of there hav-
ing been q violent struggle.
The police in the afternoon brought
to the court room q model of Emanuel
Church, exact in every detail, to be
used in the trial to illustrate the testi-
mony of the witnesses.
The Examiner says the prosecution
has a witness whose testimony will
show a motive for the murders. The
name of the witness is Clarence Wolfe,
who has told the police and will tell
the Jury that on the afternoon of April
2 he and D~urrant held the conversation
which meant SO much to the pretty
girl whom both knew only for few
months.
Durrant commented upon the beauty
of Blanche. In a tone of exultation,
and not of respect, he assured Wolfe
that che was a pure girl, and that ne
intended to rob her of that virtue which
she go much priced.
This testimony has been kept a pro-
found secret by the prosecution. One
of the most interesting and sensational
probabilities in the great case which is
now in progress is that Attorney Gen
eral Fitzgerald may be called upon to
make the closing argument for the
State. The attorney general is Known
as one of the ablest criminal lawyers in
the State.

WANT TO EXTEND THE DISTRICT
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: With the dying
out of the idea that Alexander Island is
now a portion of the District of Colum.
bia there is coming up a movement for
the requirement by the United States
of the south bank of the Potomac river
Immediately opposite the seat ofgoven-
ment. This will be the more practical
because all the land.holders and per-
manent residents living on the south
bank of the river opposite Washington
are strongly in favor of a change which
would carry the school system, the pc.
lice system, the sanitary and fire e1-
tinguishing system of the District, and
all its other civilizing institutions,
across the Potomac and would at once
destroy there the hot-beds of demorali-
cation which now produce such bitter
fruit. It was intended that the Po-
tomac should flow through the capital
of the United States es the Thames
flows through London and the Seine
through Paris, but before the future of
LILO Cdpltti Va. IUc OulLOQ SI6OcS udu Dc-
come evident, the contribution of Vir-
ginis soil to the nation was restored TO
that State. There cen be no doubt that
tho United States has quite as much
power to accept the second cession as
it had to accept the first. The only
constitutional requisite of the seat Of
government is that it shall not exceed
ten miles square and shall be ceded
by some State and accepted by Con-
gress. The State of Virginia would at
the outset be averse to this recession,
but when it became known that the
cession was expected to include only
about two miles square, much of it
marshy land, and that the immense
tract of Arlington was already under
the jurisdiction of the United States,
when, in fact, the cession proposed
would only be an expansion of Airing
ton, it is believed that the difficulty
would disappear. linguistic nably the
in Alexandria city is adverse to
q return to the District of Columbia,
but it is not proposed that the cession
shall include any territory south of
Four-Mile Run. The greater" Wash
inyton will need the south bank of the
river opposite the Presidents house
aud the Capitol, but there is no reason
why it should extend further.

ond day of the trial of w. 81. T. Dur
rant for the murder of Blanche Lamont

printed here yesterday to the effect that
Durrant told Clarence Wolfe, an init.
mate friend, of his intention to ruin
Blanche Lamont, and assuming that
the conversation furnished q possible
motive for the crime. is a fabrication,
that not q line of the article is true.
The police claim TO have found q new

proof that Durrant did not attend the
lecture delivered on the afternoon of

PRICES OF wheat continue to drift
downward, although reasons as plenti-
full as flies in o sugar house a be
given off hand by every grain operator
for an opposite tendency of the market.
This country has a comparatively mod
crate export surplus; the crops of ship
ping countries like India. Australia and
Argentina are smaller than they were
last year.; and, what should be even
more favorable for the American wheat
grower France and Great Britain will
be obliged to import more of the grain
to make up for a lighter home yield.
But, unhappily for the "bull" specula-
tor, the promised increase in foreign
demand has not yet materialized. Rus
sian exporters continue to manifest a
willingness to feed European require
ments even on q falling market; and
prices, which most people consider un-
reasonably low, are being steadily fore
ed to q lower basis by the increasing
