TELEGRHpHIC.

ordinary, and in many respects unpre-
 cedented publication, by British CT other high diplomat, has been discussed
 during the past few days among foreign
 representatives 10 the court of St.
 James. This is handsomely printed
 pamphlet marked flor private oircula-
 ton only" and entitled, "My Mission to
 the United States. 'S1 'S9." It has just
 been issued by Lord Sackville, who was English minister to Washington for the
 psriod named.
 i It will be remembered that President Cleveland, almost on ths eve of the cleo ton of 1888, sent Sir Lionel his passports because of letter written by him to an
 alleged Englishman in Califorois, com
 menting on the approaching election.
 This pamphlet is Lord Ssckvile'e 6e-
 fense and explanation several years sfter
 that incident. But the unprecedented
 part of it, and the part which has
 aroused very excited comment, Is, first,
 the freedom Of his strictures upon the
 American people and American pubic
 men; ard second, his own expressed in
 dlgnation that the British ministry
 should have accepted Mir. Bayard as
 ambassador of this country, while Rs
 secretary of state of the United States
 Bayard wRutonly insulted in person it's
 acredited representative.
 l The document is thought to be of
 sensational character.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9-A'ter wander ing through a mass of unimport8nt
 witnesses the defense In the Durrant
 case yesterday afternoon sumoned to the
 stand two of the most important wit
 nesses that have been called since the prosecution closed it's case.
 | One ot the witnesses materially aided
 the defense from the fact that upon
 cross examination he failed to give the
 important testimony expected by the prosecution. The examination of other
 witnesses had only just begun when
 the court took a recess, but in short
 tune tine witness was on the stand and testified to o-e important fact, directly | opposed to what the defense had hoped
 to establish
 The first WAS Charles T. Lanahan, a
 young man whom the defense contends
 WAS mistaken for Durr6nt by Pawn
 broker OppeUheim. Lanahan, who does
 not bear striking resemblance to the prisoner, sad that on April Sd he at
 tempted to pawn small diamond ring,
 similar to the one worn by Blanche La
 mont, at Oppenheim's shop. WitDess
 said he asked Oppenheim the same question a. received the same answers
 that Open nheim quoted in relating the
 conversation ne had with the young
 msn whom Oppenheim testified was Durrant.
 Then came surprise to the defense
 which counteracted nearly all of the strength gained from tie witness tes-
 tImony. Lanehan said he tried to pawn A ring m the afternoon, while Oppen helm testified Durrant entered his shop in the morning.
 Attorney Deuprey was considerably diSconcerted by the statement of the witness and endeRvored to impeach I4anahan's testimony by reading a let ter written by Lsnahan to the attorneys for the defense, in which he divuiged the fact that hs had tried to pawn 8 small diamond ring at Oppenheim's on the same day that Durrant was said to have entered the place.
 w. A. Dukes, a student at the Cooper Medical collage, who was expected to give strong evidence for the prosecution, gave disappointing testimony. Dukes said DIrrant asked hIm if he could not remember that be attended pr. Cheney's lecture On the afternoon of April 3rd. and to that end recalled B number of in cidents said to have taken place at the time. Although Dukes seat IR the lecture room was next to Durrant'e, Dukes could not remember whether Durrant WAS there or not, and told bim so. Dukes said it was untrue, as had been reported, that Durrant asked him as favor to ssy that he did attend the lecture. On the contrary, Dukes said l that Durrant told him he wished him to | testify to the facts as he remem bered | them.
 The remainder of the witnesses were ! called to testify to the previous good rep | utatiou of the defendant.
