W. H. Theodore Durrant was witness in his
own behalf yesterday in his trial for the muir
der of Blanche Lamont.
He was the sole witness of the day. Attorney
Dickinson conducted his main examination,
which lasted till the afternoon session was half
over, and District Attorney Barnes had but
fairly started with the ecross-examination before
court adjourned till this morning.
When court opened in the morning witness
Lenihan was called, but did not respond. A
bench warrant was issued for him, but a little
latter he put in an appearance before it could
be served.
Meanwhile Durrant had come to the stand.
He was very cool and calm, and very careful
and deliberate, though unhesitating, in his
evidence. This was confined chiefly to the de-
fendants actions and whereabouts on April 3.
great deal OF care was taken not to throw
open the door for the cross-examiner.
Durrant contradlcted the evidence given by
King TO some extent, but in the main cor
roborated the claims set up by Nj. Deuprey's
opening statement.

CATHOLIC GRADUATES.

The American University Closes With I'M
posing Ceremonies.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The COM
me ncement exercises of the American
Catholic university, marking the clos
ing of the sixth year of that institu-
ton, took place in the public lecture
hall of the Divinity building yesterday.
The exercises were of an impressive
character. Bishop Keene presided
and the exercises opened with an
grafton by DR.. O'Gorman, dean of the
divinity faculty. He presented the
candidates for degrees, of whom there
were nineteen, to Mgr. Satolli, when
they were called upon by the bishop
before receiving their degrees to make
profession of faith in accordance with
the decree of the council of Baltimore.
For this purpose the creed of Pope
Plus ". was selected. It was read by
DIR. Lucas. one of the graduates re-
ceiving the D. D. degree, on behalf of
himself and the other graduates. All
of them touched the book of the gos-
pei. The do~rees were then conferred
by the papal delegate, after which
Mgr. Satolli addressed the graduates.

CHANCE FOR SILVER.
American Capitalists Are After
the Chinese Loan.
IF Paid in Silver That Metal
Will Boom.
AN I'M nj ENSE SUM.
The Indemnity Would Equal
Two Years Silver Coinage.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Negotiations
have recently been opened through
agents in China of American interests
with a view to having China secure
from American capitalists the amount
of silver requisite to secure the Chi
nese war indemnity of 200, 900, 900 teals
to Japan. The indemnity is payable
in Chinese taels, equal to the Mexican
dollar, which is now worth SO cents in
American money. Under the terms of
the China-Japan treaty, which have
not heretofore been stated, the pay
ments are to be made as follows: Fifty
million taels payable in six months
from the ratification of the treaty, So
900, 900 taels one year from that date
and the remaining 100, 100000 taels
payable in six annual installments.
The first payment of $4,000, 900 taels
falls due next November.
The names of the Americans inter
ested in the negotiation could not be
learned at the Chinese or Japanese le-
cation. If American silver was used
to meet the indemnity the amount
would be equivalent to the silver coin
age for two years while the Sherman
law was in operation.
