II seems altogether probable now that
the battleship oregon vii go on the dry
dock az the Puget Sound naval station

tide at thar time being at its full. AS far
as could be learned previous TO yesterday
the docking was liable to be postponed
until April Is. which would be next Thurs
day but from information obtained yes
terday II would seem that all arrange
ments viii be completed In time to put the
Oregon on the dock today.
This ia very fortunate. for the numerous
excursions which have been planned for
today. Bandmaster Wagner, Of the First
Regiment band. who Is in charge OF the ex-
rursion on the steamer State OF Washing
ton. says he is very certain that exeur-
sionists viii not be disappointed Ia seeing
the Oregon locked today. Capt. Robinson.
OF tho steamer A. r. Robinson. which runs
daily 70 Port Orchard. said yesterday aft
ernoon that he understood the docking
would probably take place.
The docking viii attract large crowds.
and VIII prove a sight worth witnessing.

Durrant Passes Into the shadow of
the GaIlows-Executfon Set
for June IL

SAN FRANCISCO. April Io-Theodore
Durrant was this afternoon taken 10 San
Quentin prison, 10 be there confined until
his execution, which was fixed by the
court today for June IL
This is the second time Durrant has
been sentenced 70 death for the same
crime, and ne received this judgment like
the former one. with calm indifference.
His attorney after the sentence of death
had been pronounced made several further
attempts 10 secure delay for his client,
but Judge Bahrs, who pronounced SEN
tence, was not impressed with the logic
of Durrant's attorney. and declined 70
modify his sentence III any way. The muir
derer's attorney moved successfully to
strike from the sentence order the aliu-
sion to Durrant's confinement in San
Quentin prison, then filed a notice OF APP
peal from the order and asked for GER
tificate Of probable cause. and finally
asked for a stay OF execution for four
hours that application for a writ Of prob
able cause might be taken TO the supreme
court. AL these motions were denied.
When taken TO the ferry en- route for
the prison Durrant's nerve broke down at
the sight Of the crowds. who rejoiced IN
his passing to the shadow of the gallows
after so many and protracted delays. He
murdered Blanche Lamont over two years
ago and was arrested a week after COM
hitting the crime.

refused TO commute the death sentences in
the cases of r. II. Straub. of San Juan

~. as asked for by the board OF pardons.
giving as his reason that the pardoning
power is given to the executive only in
cases when there is a miscarriage OF Jus
tice. After carefully considering the mat
ter the governor decides that the respon-
sibility rests with the county judge and the
prosecuting attorney. and not with himself.
II either OF these officials would ask in
writing for a Communication OF the death
sentence in either or both cases. It would
be granted; otherwise the sheriff must do

brought into court today through an ap-
plication by attorneys for the appoint
