Washington, April 25.-The Near

cablegram from his government an
nouncing the arrival of Corinto.
Nicaragua. of two British warships,
with the expressed purpose of en-
forcing the demands contained in the
British ultimatum. Just how this is
to be done the minister was not in
formed. The indica tions are now that
Nicaragua will offer a passive re-
sistance to the British demands for
some time at least, and meanwhile
the United States will do nothing but
await the developments of events un-
less the British take some action that
affects our purely selfish interests,
such as interfering with our shipping
or. other interests of American citi-
zens This attitude is assumed in
the full confidence thut n" a++nrnnt
will be made by the British to secure
any Nicaraguan territory, no matter
what course she may be obliged to
pursue to accomplish her purpose Of
collecting the "smart money" de-
rnanded for the expulsion of Vice
Consul Hatch. There is reason to be-
lteve that not only the Nicaraguan
affair, but the whole subject of the
extent Of the protection to be extend
ed by the United States to the sister
republics Of Central and South Ameri-
ca has been very earnestly and de-
liberatcly discussed by the president
with his full cabinet, and that the at
titude as assumed in the case Of
Nicaragua may be taken as an indi-
cation of the line of policy to be
adopted for the treatment of all
questions arising between the Euro
pear powers and these republics, hav-
ing such a basis as the present Mic
araguan incident.

AN n. p. CASE.

Decision By the Supreme Court ON
Wisconsin Lands.
Washington, April 24.-The most I'M
portant case in which a decision was
announced by the supreme court to-
day was that of Roberts & Ellis vs..
the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany. appealed from the circuit court
Of the Western district of Wisconsin.
Justice Shiras' announced judgment
of the court, Affirming the judgment
Of the court below. The case involves
the titles to lands donated to the rail-
road company by Douglass county on
condition that the road should pursue
a certain route and make certain Inn
provements on Lake Superior, which
was done. The land and improvements
are now estimated to be worth $780,
900. The county afterward sold the
lands to Roberts and Ellis for 1886. in
view of a decision by the supreme
court of Wisconsin that the county
could not donate its lands to a corpora
tion. The decision in the United
States supreme court holds that the
transfer Of the lands to the company
was a sale and not q donation, and
also that the case was not one for the
state courts. in vieN Of the fact that
the Northern Pacific road was a ma.
tional and not state corporation.

Minneapolis. April ~ = Ex-State
Treasurer Joseph Bobleter did not feel
much like talking about the report of
the Feig committee this morning. He
said that the report spoke for itself,
that he had been subjected to great
deal of unfair and unjust criticism In
the matter. and that he did not want
to say anything more about it. He
said that the fact was correct, as
stated in the report, that he had paid
over to the treasury the sum of
$3.O246G.
'This amount" said Mr.. Bobleter,
twas paid to me at various times
without my solicitation, and without
any understanding as to the purpose
Of the gift. / received the amounts
under protest, and held them until the
close of my term, when proposed to
turn them over to the state. I was
advised not to do so, and when the
Investigation was ordered concluded
to hold the amount until the commit
tee should get to work. After laying
the facts before the committee I
again came to the conclusion that the
funds should be turned over to the
state, and have done so During my
term of office have never received
any interest on state deposits. and as
far as I know, none of my predeces-
sors have done so. There were some
of the bankers who thought they
would contribute to my campaign ex-
penses. but objected to this"

TO CONSIDER IL.

The Supreme Court VIII Think
About an Income RehearinE.
Washington, April 25.-The United
States supreme court to-day, through
Chief Justice Fuller, made the follow
ing order In regard to petitioners for
a rehearing of the income tax ques-
tion: 1.-The consideration of the two
petitions (the income tax petitions) for
rehearing is reserved until Monday,
May s, when a full bench is expected.
and in that event two counsel on
side will be heard at that time"
Although the order does not ex-
plicitly SO state, 1t means that an ar
gument will be heard, not on the mer-
Its of the income tax question itself,
but on the question whether or not
there shall be rehcaring of the suits
heretofore decided. The course adopt
ed by the court is a most unusual one,
and the gentlemen familiar with it's
procedure for many years can recollect
but one instance in which like action
has been taken, and that was in the
seventies. No authoritative statement
could he secured Of the reasons for
the order, but the theory is advanced
that the court is again evenly divided
and that Justice jackson has been
virtually made umpire of the question
Of reopening the cases.

Bad FOR DURANT
DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST
THE ALLEGED MURDERER.
A Young Lady Tcstlfles Thnt Durant
Wanted to Make Medical Ex.
animation of Her, Naming the
baptist Church as the
Place.
ANOTHER FEMALE CRANK AP-
PEARS.
Conclusion That Durant IL Not
Guilty.

San Francisco, April 25. Judge
Conlon's police court was crowded
to-day. 1t was the second day of the
preliminary examination of Theodore
Durant for the murder of Minnie
Williams. Duiant appeared little
more cheerful when he awoke this
morning. He had good nights rest
and good breakfast frightened him.
So far nothing startling has been
brought out by the examination of
the witnesses, although several things
have been brought out that seem to
make the case against the prisoner
stronger.
Another female crank appeared this
morning. She presented herself at
the prison and was admitted to Du-
rants presence, and after some con-
was spoken with her mouth almost
touching his ear, and after finishing,
she went to Chief Crowley and said:
'He is not the man." She said she
had looked at his head and neck and
was positive he was not the murder
er. She said she was the gypsy
queen, the most famous mind reader
In the world. She was elected by the
officers without trouble. Mrs. Will
hanson, the crank who created such
a sensation yesterday, was lowering
around the prison again to-day, but
was denied admission.
Several of Durant's classmates ut
the medical college were called and
testified that Durant had asked them
to answer his name at roll call on
various occasions. One of the stu
dents did this on April s. the day Du-
rant was seen in Alameda talking to
Miss Williams. Other testimony to
seeing Durant waiting at the ferry on
the day of the murder was given.
Witnesses We're called to show that
Durant was seen near Emanuel
church with Miss Williams on the
fatal Friday night, and their testi-
mony could not be shaken by the de-
fense.
The most sensational and damaging
evidence as tending to show Durant's
character is that of Miss Lucille
Turner, one of Durant's Sunday
schoolmates. She said she had known
Durant for year: they were both
members of the Christian Endeavor
society; Dnrant had walked home
from church With her several times.
Miss Turner said that on one occasion
Durant had talked to her in words
not those Of gentleman. Dnrant
wanted to make a medical examina-
ton Of her. and he knew of a place
in the church where such an examina-
tion could he made without any one
else heing the wiser. Witness told
him that her folks could attend to
such matters.
During Miss Turner's examination
Durant looked very pale and anxious,
and has not shown such pronounced
symptoms since his arrest. He
listened to every word and watched
every movement of the witness.

As the Legal Sequence of n Sem

Madison. Wis, April 25.-By a decis-
ion of the supreme court handed down
to-day the validity OF the law which
provides that life imprisonment works

proceedings is established. The de-
cision is IN the celebrated case against
James Duket for adultery. Dulket

mcnt for the murder of Calvin Steel,
without the wife having procured Il

Who Were In the Massacre in
Minnesota i'm 1862.

Omaha, April 24-Two hundred and
ten Thurston county settlers were
summoned to appear in the federal
court at Omaha to-day in the case
wherein the Fleurnoy company asks
q permanent injunction restraining
Capt. Beck, agent of the Wlnnebago
Indians, from ejectfng the settlers on
the reservation who have subleased
the Indian lands from that company.
The case has been q feature Of dis
turbance on the reservation for
months. The case will be tried on it's
merits tomorrow. United States Dis
trict Attorney Sawyer, who has charge
OF the case for the government, to-
day asserted that there was danger of
trouble from the Indians unless the
litigation was adjusted one way or
another at an early day. He returned
from the reservation Yesterday and is
inclined to think the danger IL i'm.
minent.
Mr.. Sawyer says 1t was Just such a
case as the present one that precipi-
tated the outbreak among the Winnie.
bagos in 1862, when they were on their
reservation which was at that time To-
Gated In Minnesota. He talked with
one survivor Of the famous fight and
the aged warrior frankly told him
that history was liable to repeat itself.
and that with 600 fighting men avail.
able they were liable to clean out
Thurston county some morning If the
question was not settled soon. Con.
yersatton with others elected the fact
that 1t was with real difficulty the
pacific members of the tribe counseled
and enforced patience and obedience
TO the wishes Of Capt. Beck, who IA
vors peaceful settlement Of the dif-
1iculty. They were ready to fight at
any time and were only held in check
BY the agent by promises Of relief
from the present trouble. AS Cant.
Beck has authority to commission ev.
cry indian on the reservation a no
!iceman. it is predicted that the au-
thority thus vested would encourage
an outbreak. With this fact in mind
Capt. Beck has commissioned but six
teen Indians police. although he ad-
mits he will enforce the government
regulations IL it takes every Indian
on the reservation.
Capt. Beck is in Omaha End also ex.
presses the belief that trouble will re-.
suit It the case is not settled.
