 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25-A strange story of an alleged plot in connection with the trIsl of Theodore Durrant came to light today, through letter address ed to the coroner. The police claim they have known of the plot for some time. and that the knowledge had been discovered led Attorney Deuprey, for the defense, to abandon the plot and take to Lis bed, leaving the closing man. sgement of the case to General Dickin- SOD, who, it is alleged, did not know of the plot. Six men are, according to the story, implicated as those who were to swear to false statements prepared for them, it is alleged, by the defense. The police say the plan was conceived en- tirely by Durrant, and carried out largely under his direction, by the aid of one of his counsel. The plan was to make such evidence as would prove an slibi for Durrant, and at the Same i'm plicste the Rev. J. George Gibson in the murder of both Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
 The letter is signed Geo. Reynolds and gives the details of the plan to prove an alibi for Durrsnt, and attach suspicion to Pastor Gibson. The men implicated are named. All are friends of Durrant, as WAS Reynolds. A type written document, purporting to be the written testimony which was to be learn ed by heart to give in court, accom- panies the letter.

 CHICAGO, Oct. 27-A special to the Daily News from Washington ssys:
 The United States will not consider the suggestion of Lord Salisbury for an alliance for the building of the Nicsr- sgus canal and the direction of South and Central American affsirs. It is un- derstood the suggestion did not come in a way to require formal reply. The proposition was this:
 Great Britain would be satisfied if this country would permit her, without Interference on our part, to take pos session by force of all territory she claims from Venezuela, and would agree to joint construction and ownership of the Nicaragua canal. She would then pledge herself not to seek acquisition to any more territory on this continent. and would recognize and join us in en- forcing the Monroe doctrine. It was rep. resented the governments of South and Central America were irresponsible and d:d not afford proper protection to for eigners and foreign interests. and that Great Britain and the United States should join in compelling proper respect 10 citizens or subjects and the interests of the United States and of Great Britain, and both to msintain paval force in the vicinity to protect the inter- ests of citizens of either country.
 It was intimated that unless such sr- engagements could be made, Great Britain would not recognize the Monroe doc Urine as having any force and be com pelled to take such steps as she deemed necessary to protect British interests on this continent. This suggestion is treat ed as having no reference to the letter
