BILL ON APPEAL
A Stay of Proceedings Granted Until
February llth
The Bill Charges Two Hundred and Thirty
two Errors, Host of Which
Seem Very Trivial

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-Attorneys P.
H. Dickinson and Eugene Deuprey today
filed with Judge Murphy a bill of excep-
tons iu support of the motion now pending
before the supreme court Tor new trial
for Durrant. and the court granted fur
ther stay of proceedings until February
The bill consists of 793 folios of type
written matter and charges Judge Murphy
with having committed just 232 errors of
law during the progress of the celebrated
case.
The first of these related to the refusal
of the court to grant change of venue.
Next in order comes the manner of select
ing the jury, with particular stress on the
various challenges for cause made by the
defense and overruled by the court.
The police are taken to task for handling
the case in a slipshod manner, with the
sole object in view of convicting Durrant,
and the court is criticized for not punish
ing the newspapers for contempt. Last of
all it is contended that the verdict was not
justified by the evidence.

New YORK, Jan. 22.-Miss Clara Barton
and her staff, members of the National
Red Cross society, sailed today on the

panied her were DR.. j. B. Hubbell, field
agent; Miss Lucy Greaves, stenographef
and typewriter; Ernest Mason, interpreter
and lingrist, and George H.lPullman, SEQ
retary to Miss Barton. In brief discus.
sion of her plans Miss Barton said:
1--WE expect 20 reach Constantinople
within three weeks. This will allow for
delay and transfer in London, Paris and
Geneva. I have no definite plans as yet,
but shall mature plans when reach the
field of operation. l was asked to do this
work because they could not get anyone
else."
When asked few specific questions.
Miss Barton said in reply:
~ do not know the amount of the Ar.
menian relief fund. We are going to feed
the hungry, and that is as far as we have
laid our plans at present. I shall, upon
arriving at Constantinople. endeavor to
enlist the sympathy of the United States
minister at that place. do not yet know
audience with the sublime porte itself, and
l have only newspaper knowledge that the
sublime porte has, through the minister at
Washington, announced its opposition to
the distribution of this relief"
Spencer Trask, who is an officer of the
New York brancn of the society, said:
ut is the fault of the press that antago-
nism to the Red Cross society has been
shown by the public and by the Turkish
government. While the Turkish govern
ment has interdicted the Red Cross society
by name it has no reason to be opposed to

A RAINY SEASON PROMISED
Sacramento Reports Sunshiny Weather
and Little Damage
Marcuse Fears for Flooded Ranches and at
San Francisco 1t is Raining
Harder Than Ever

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-There has been
a decided change in the weather. The
storm has broken and the Sacramento VAL
ley is again blessed with sunshine. From
every section comes tine information that
the weather is clear. Considerable loss
has been experienced by the railroad COM
pany in mountain and valley, but the
farmers have not suffered much loss on
account of overflowed lands.
The only points where the railroad tracks
are obstructed are at Marysville, on the
main line, and on the branch road between
that place and Oroville. In each case the
trouble has been caused by an overflow
from the Feather river. On the Oregon
line the track is two feet under water, and
on the Oroville branch road the water is
four feet in depth.
MARCJsE, Jan. 22.-The levee surround.
ing the 2OOO-acre ranch of Marcuse & Son
broke today, and the ranch, which is
planted to grain, is flooded. A levee sur
rounding Humphreys ranch also broke.
The water is coming in through the two
breaks rapidly, and by morning this town
will be surrounded. Should the Sacra.
mento river fall sufficiently within a week, :,
the water will run off and the grain will
not be damaged, The water in Feather
river is falling, and no danger is appre-
hended from that source.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-Two days of
fair weather was all the weather clerk
could allow and tonight the rain COM
menced as hard as ever.

ever. Hunter came within one vote of
election today and his opponents are said
to be contemplating tilibustering or other
means for preventing decisive result be-
fore Wilson's successor is elected. Hunter

for Blackburn. Hunter got the vote of
Poor, the Populist today, the latter being
loudly cheered.
Blackburn got fifty-eight votes, eleven
short of election, with Wilson's place va
cant, and seventeen short of a majority of
all. McCreary got six, Carlisle two and
Buckner one. Blackburn got the vote of
Edrington, the other Populist, and if he
had received all the Democratic votes pres
est he would have had siXty-seven, The
absentees were Ogilvie, Democrat, and
Representative Wilson's successor, who
are counted sure for Blackburn. If Sena-
tor Stage should come to Hunter tomorrow
or any time before Wilson's successor is
elected the deadlock will be broken by the
