The Minister'S Shoe.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-Snugly
tucked away among the exhibits in the
Williams-Lamont murder cases, in the
office of the. chief of police, is a shoe
that has on it's sole several dark spots
of sanguinary hue. The police believe
it was the blood of Marian Williams
that made those dark stains;
that her murderer while fiendishly
slashing her tender flesh, stepped into
splashes of blood on the floor. The
shoe was found by the police in their
search of Emanuel church for clues,
and not nntil tonight did they admit
that the shoe was in their possession.
The shoe belongs to the Rev. George
Gibson, pastor of the church. In his
study, which is located in the church
building, the pastor had pair of slip
pers and two pairs of shoes. When
the police searched the place they
found one shoe missing. They looked
for and found it. The dark stains on
the sole attracted their attention, and
they quietly took it to the chiefs office
for expert examination. The finding
of this shoe does not necessarily i'm
plicate the pastor, for the murderer of
the girls was one familiar with the
church, and must have known the
shoes were there. 1t is possible the
murderer put on these shoes after
Marian Williams was unconscious to
complete his murderous work.

Examination of Durrant.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-District
Attorney Barnes in the preliminary
examination of Theodore Durrant, for
the murder of Minnie Williams, before
Judge Conlan this morning, stated that
the prosecution would put % witnesses
on the stand, several of whom had not
testified at the inquest, and that the
examination would last at least three
days, probably more. The prosecution
is keeping back good deal of cumu-
lative evidence.
The defense is stated, will dispute
that the purse found in-Durrant's over
coat pocket belonged to the deceased,
but the prosecution says the evidence
on this point is overwhelmingly in
their favor. A baker named Young,
of Alameda, will testify that the cellu-
loid tablet found in the purse was given
by him to Miss Williams on the day
she met her death.
For hours before the preliminary ex-
animation commenced in Judge Con-
lan's court, crowd began to gather
and squad of police were stationed at
the entrance to the hall to preserve
order. Judge Conlan's courtroom was
crowded to suffocation, and policemen
were stationed in different parts of the
room on the lookout for numerous
cranks who have written threatening
letters to the judge. Court opened at
IL o'clock.
When the defendant arrived in court
all eyes were turned upon him. The
prisoner looked pale and concerned,
but showed no emotion.
A photographer exhibited several
photographs of scenes in the church,
and two large pictures of Minnie Will
liams, showing her wounds. and the
work of the physicians were exhibited
and attracted great attention. They
presented a revolving sight.
Mrs. Morgan, with whom Miss
Williams lived in Alameda, was called
to the stand. She said that she last
of the 18th. inst., and that the deceased
Vows house. She knew Durrant.
He had called at her house last sum-
mer and had stayed half an hour.
She could not identify the faces shown
in the photographs as that of Miss
Williams. Charles II. Morgan, the
husband of the preceding witness, said
that the girl was counted as one of the
family. He could not identify the faces
shown in the photos either. He also
failed to identify the purse found in
Durrant's overcoat pocket.
Here the name of A E Williams, the
father of the dead girl, was called, but
il his place young woman rushed to
the stand and said that no one
should testify before her. She gave
the name of Williamson, and said that
she would be the one to Judge
Durrant and ordered him released.
The police tried to remove her, but she
would not let them, and left the stand
voluntarily after some words. She
handed an incoherent letter to the
clerk, She said she was sent by God
to Judge Durrant.

A Ouintuple Lynching.

GREENvILLE, Ala, April 22.-The
murder of Watt Murphy, which oc-
Cured a few days ago. near his home,
about IA miles west of this place, was
the prelude to a quintuple lynching.
Last Sunday night or early Sunday
morning four men and two women, all
negroes, were arrested by the neigh
bors of the murdered man. They ac-
knowledged their guilt. The parties
were all in the, field together when a
dispute arose, which ended by one ne
gro knocking Murphy on the head with
the limb of tree. The others beat
him into insensibility, after which
they carried the body to a log heap.
The women hastily gathered brush and
piled it upon the body and fired the
heap. One of the women says the
victim turned over after the hair had
burned off his head. Wood was added
to the pile until everything was con-
sumed, but the heart and liver.
The murderers were: Cal Johnson,
Fred Douglass, Jim Calhoun, Sim Jeri-
gan, Mary Davis and woman called
Jennie" Sim Jerigan, it is said.
who struck the blow which felled
Murphy, escaped after being taken in
to CUSTODY.

A Tragedy in Oregon.

ARLINGTON, Or. April PA shoot
ing affray took place between and 6
o'clock this morning at the residence
of Harry Clay, on Rock creek, 20 miles
south of here, resulting in the death
of Henry Grider. Grider had been
working for Mr.. Clay for about year,
and had been looked up as faithful,
law abiding citizen. Recently, how
ever, Grider seems to have gained the
impression that he owned the ranch,
and was going to run things to suit
himself. He had made threats of kill
ing Mr.. Clay. and had been carrying
a revolver for some time. This morn
ing the two men had some little dis
pute about matters pertaining to the
ranch, and, without provocation, Girl
der drew revolver and fired two shots
at Mr.. Clay without effect. He was
following him up, with the evident in
tention of killing him, when Mr.. Clay
ran-into the house and procured shot
gum, He emptied one of the barrels
into Orders side below the left arm,
killing him instantly. He then gave
himself up to the authorities. He will
be given preliminary trial tomorrow
morning. Mr.. Clay has fine ranch
on Rock creek. and deals extensively
: in stock, having recently made large
shipment to Chicago. He is highly
esteemed as a peaceful, law-abiding
citizen. Although the shooting on
his part was clearly in self-defense,
the occurrence is greatly deplored by
himself and his many friends.

Mr.. J. n. Sherar, the contractor,
Isaac Hixson. who represents Hon.
Robt. Mays of The Dalles, and about
sixteen Indians commenced work on
the new Currant Creek road last
Wednesday, and have been working
like trojans thereon ever since. Mr..
Sherar informs US that all the money
which was collected in The Dalles for
hits purpose about year ago will have
all been expended on this road by the
1st of next week, and unless $500 more
can be raised he cannot complete the
work required. Mr.. Sherar has al
ready spent more than his proportion
ate share of money in the enterprise,
and is properly of the opinion that
others should now make an effort to
assist him. He says he intends writ
ing at once to the county judge, and
will ask for an appropriation out OF the
county road fund with which to COM
plete this road. AS it will benefit The
Dalles in particular and all of Wasco
county in general, we have no doubt
but that the county court will make
the necessary appropriation without
any hesitancy. The citizens of this
section should do their share in help
ing the good work along. Either cash
or labor would be acceptable. Mr..
Shearer thinks it will not take more
than two weeks longer to complete the
work, if the necessary money is raised.
By all means let the road be completed
this spring, even if it does require a
little contribution from each citizen.

REPUBLICAN, CLUBS.
The Meeting to Be Held In Portland VIII
BE a Grand Political Event.

The Meeting to Be Held in Portland VIII
BE Grand Political Event.
Great preparations are being made
all over the state to attend the meet
ing of the State Republican Club at
Portland, May 22d. Arrangements
have been made with the o. r. & N.
Co. for special rate of one and one
fifth fare. When the ticket to Port
land is purchased at the regular rate
the purchaser requests the agent to
give him certificate. This certificate
is handed to Secretary Fl. L. Wells, of
the state club, at Portland, who coun-.
tersigns it. The holder is then enti-
tied to purchase return ticket at one
fifth fare at any time within three days
after the meeting. This rate applies
to visitors, as well as delegates, and
the secretary will countersign the cer-
tificates of all visitors. This should
assure a large attendance from Eastern
Oregon. Every club in this county
should elect a full set of delegates, and
if they cannot attend they can send a
proxy by some one who is going either
from that club or some other, and thus
the club can receive credit for being
represented. Upwards of 300 delegates
have already been elected. A register
of the Republican party in Oregon is
being compiled by the secretary, which
will contain the names properly ar
ranged of all delegates to the various
state club meetings to the state con-
vention, members of the state and
county central committees, nominees
for state, county and legislative offices,
and Others who have been and are act
i've working Republicans in all sec
tions of the state. 1t will be the roll
of honor of the party and will serve to
stimulate pride and enthusiasm in its
achievements. The work of organic
ing new clubs and putting old ones on
more permanent basis is progressing
all over the state, and before the next
campaign opens the Republican party
will be better organized than ever be-

BERLIN, April 2O-The evening
edition of the KOelnische Zeitung con
tains this statement: In view of the
pressure exercised by the japanese
war party. Germany urged Japan at
the beginning Of. March to be moderate
in her terms of peace, adding that a
demand for the cession of mainland
territory would be especially, calcula-
When it appeared from the reports of
the conditions offered by Japan that
she was little disposed to follow the
friendly advice, initial steps were taken
March % to establish an understanding
with the European powers. A COM
plete agreement was reached by Ger
many and Russia, and the cooperation
of France was secured. The three
powers will now proceed to take joint
steps with China to protect their in
terests. The territorial changes at
which Japan aims will be the first
point kept in view. The object is to
prevent Japan from entwining herself
so tightly around-China as to be able,
in case of need, to shut off the latter
entirely from Europe. Such an injury
to their interests the powers desire to
avoid in good time. Japan has shown
hitherto such circumspection that she
may be expected now also to desist
from drawing the knot too tight"
In referring to the European concert,
the Koeluische Zeitung ignores England.
In London; it says, it is understood
the government is seeking its own
ends by separate action, and is dealing
with both Japan and China.
A semi-official communication to the
Hamburger correspondent says that
Germany desires to see the treaty of
peace modified, wherever it tends to
give Japan commercial advantages
over other countries in China. Ger
many is said to be lite interested in
the political and strategical considera-
tions, even where they take the form
of territorial agrandizement, and to he
willing to leave action in these matters
to the other powers.
The BoerSdn Courier also insists upon
the necessity of Germany's commercial
equality with Japan in the Chinese
market.
The Nord Demsche Alleoenaeine Zeitung
says today: Germany never had any
idea of abstaining from intervention in
the east. Throughout the war she has
been fully able to avert the great dan
ger that might arise for Europe, both
politically and commercially, as re-
suit of the new order of things in East

tant that the government would be
guilty of serious neglect in case it
should not vindicate our claims with

Waller Is in France.

MARSEILLES, April 20.-The steamer
Dtndnndh. from the island of Madagas-
car, has arrived here, having on board
John L. Waller. formerly United
States consul at Tamatave, who was
recently tried by court-martial and
sentenced to 20 years Imprisonment
on charge of having been a spy in the
interest of the Hovas.
WASHIGToN, April 20.-While the
action by the French government will
only add to the amount of indemnity it
will be called upon to pay, should
Waller's friends show the charge
against him is baseless. his being
brought to France will facilitate the
efforts of the state department to de-
velop the facts. as the department can
communicate directly with Eustis. in
stead of being obliged to adopt the
tedious course of acting through an
inferior consular office in Madagascar,
out of reach of cable communication.
Mr.. Eustis has been instructed to pur-
sue the matter to an end, and make
thorough examination of all facts at
tending the punishment of this Ameri-
can citizen. He will also make special
examination into the legality, under
treaty stipulation, of the trial of
citizen OF friendly nation by court
martial insteoe of the regular civil
tribunals, as is customary, and, perhaps
absolutely essential. Moreover, the
case involves the right of France to
exercise jurisdiction over the internal
affairs of Madagascar. from which she
appears to have been expressly ex-
cluded by the treaty of 1885.
There can be no doubt that the
Waller incident will be one of the
most difficult the administration has
had to contend with in it's treatment
of foreign affairs, and that fact is fully
realized here. The principles involved
are of the utmost Importance. and
should the statements of Walters
friends be well-founded, the govern
ment of the United States, under no
circumstances, can admit the correct
ness of the position of the French
officials, without thereby admitting its
indisposition or inability to protect our
cisizens in foreign countries from op-
preston and ill-treatment. The in
formation reaching Washington gives
the details of the charge under which
Waller was convicted as
