AN ALIBI. Durrant's Attorneys are Hunting Witnesses. To Prove an Alibi, Their
 Only Hope. They Interview Cooper Medical
 Students.
The Proecution Prepared to Offset Any Testimony Against Rev.
 J. c. Gibson.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3O.-Since the adjournment of the Durrant trial Friday the prisoners attorneys have visited Cooper medical college several times and have had frequent inter- views with students whom they will put on the stand in hopes of brac- ing up the alibi which the defense hopes to establish.
 It is thought that several of the col lege boys will testify having seen the accused between 1 and o'clock on the afternoon of April 3, but if any will give evidence to the fact that Durrant was in the college until 1:30 o'clock it Is not known. The attorneys for the defense are building much on what B. A. Diggins will testify to. Diggins is a member of the sophomore class, but frequently attended the senior class lectures. The latter claims that he spoke to Durrant during Dr. Cheney's lecture on the afternoon that Blanche Lamont disappeared, but Durrant's memory is rather hay just at present
 District Attorney Barnes and cap tain of detectives, Lees, are getting ready to put in their rebuttal testi- mony, which they expect to make al most as strong as the direct. They will have lot of writing experts to combat any testimony that might i'm plicate Rev. J. G. Gibson in having written the address on the newspaper in which Miss Lamont's rings were sent to her aunt, Mrs. Noble.

FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Secretary Smith Says the President
 Is Against Third Term.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3O.-(Special) Secretary Smith said today that President Cleveland in his speech at Atlanta October 21, would announce that no man in this country should be elected president three times. This is most interesting statement for the secretary to make, but more will be known October 22 about what MT. Cleveland will say October 21 than at present can be gained from MT. Smith, as he has not seen Mr. Cleveland for months, but possibly the president has written him a letter. As Secre- tary Smith is trying to get elected to the senate from Georgia and there is a strong opposition to third terms among Georgia Democrats, it is unpatrioti- cally suggested that the wish on the part of MT. Smith may be father to the announcement about Mr. Cleveland's forthcoming spech.

ONCE IS ENOUGH.
The Chronicle Man Thinks One Trip
 Across the Continent Enough.

WINONA, Sept. 3O.-Chas Bush, sporting editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, spent Sunday in Winona. He is engaged in making tour of the United States on a bicycle, going east over the northern section, south along the Atlantic coast, and home by way of Florida and Mexico. He left San Fran cisco on the 21st of July, and if he completes the trip by the 31st of Jan uary he is to receive a bonus of $1, 900 and his salary for the six months ab- sent at rate of SIP a month. It is a condition of the trip that he pay his own way, but he is not barred from receiving assistance from newspaper offices, which is quite frequently given.
 He rides a 211a pound wheel, which, when loaded with his baggage and himself, weighs 267 pounds. He car ries on his handle bars a rubber blanket, woolen blanket, box of crack CTS, canned meat and bottle contain ing lotion of alcohol and salt. In the box that fits in the frame he carries a necessary change of clothing and ali so writing materials.
 He sends weekly letters to his paper and when the trip is completed will publish an illustrated book on his travels.
 He has met with several adventures. In crossing the western desert he was lost for day and a night, and at Man dan, N. D., when sleeping in a vacant shack, a cowboy tried to steal his wheel, but was scared away by a we'll aimed revolver.
 MT. Bush is a muscular young fel- low not quite "A years of age. He seems to be enjoying his trip, but says he would not repeat it for bonus of $2,O00.

A SPECIAL DEGREE.
Chinese Officials Responsible for the
 Riots Will Be Punished.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The state department has received a cablegram from Minister Denby to the effect that a special decree has been issued. The Szchuen riots, he said, rests with the officials and that Viceroy Liu was in- different or careless and took no mo- tice of the commencement of the riots. Liu is deprived of his office and the other officials who were equally as careless will be punished From these facts the crisis impending in China of naval demonstration by Great Brit ain has been averted

The Result of Ordering All Saloons to
 Close
 KANSAS CITY, Sept. 30.-Mayor Willard of Argentine, suburb of Kan sas City, Kan, today issued orders to discharge every policeman and police officer except the city marshal; to close down the fire department and arrange to sell the horses and equipments and to close down the water supply. The electric light service will be stopped within the next ten days. The city is now practically at the mercy of fires and outlaws. Several insurance agents have been there all day busily engaged in cancelling insurance policies. All this is the result of the closing down of thirty liquor saloons according to the recent orders of Gov Morrill,. They were all closed this morning and when their aggregate revenue of $750 per month was stopped it left no way of maintaining the various departments

Civil Service Rules to Be Extended to
 Fourth-Class Offices.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-Both the postoffice department and the civil ser vice commission take great interest in the movement toward putting the fourth-class postmasters under the protection of the civil service laws. While nothing is likely to be done at present, it is probable that before the end of this administration the looked for action will be taken.

To Whom it may Concern:
Through justice to myself and to the
principles of the Peoples party which
/ advocate, feel it my duty to write
this card.
To the chronic office seekers and po-
litical tricksters, honesty of purpose
coupled with q wholly unselfish mo-
tive. is an attribute that does not exist,
therefore according to their opinion
no one is in possession OF them. Now
because have been an active member
of the Populist party since its organi-
cation, they naturally measure my
motives by their own, and then they
proceed to herald my name to the pub
lie as candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Lincoln county, an office
that has been disgraced by the Demo
cratic party and has ruined more good
men, both morally and financially than
any office in the county. | do not
charge that any one who has held that
office has been dishonest or meant to
defraud the public, but has there been
one who has not felt the disgrace that
seems to be connected with that office :?
The reform forces are not office
seekers, as Will De SHOWN Dy the an
nouncements in all county papers.
There are no self-eonstituted candi-
dates in the Peoples party, neither
will there be any. We believe in a
Government of, for and by the people,
and will elect honest men to look after
the interest of the people. We do not
want any more offices filled by con-
tract as has become a custom with the
Dem. Reps. In conclusion / will let
you into little secret as to how my
name became connected with that Of
fee. During the last campaign several
leading Democrats offered me that po-
sition provided would quit the Popu-
list party and join them. Other Demo
Gratis have urged me to run for that Of
fee and promised me their support
provided that ] would keep mum on
certain irregularities connected with
the coppty's affairs in which they were
interested,
When the leaders Of party stoop to
such methods as that, how in the name
of God can an honest man stay in that
party? Yours for justice,
w. A. HODGES.
