THE MINNIE WILLIAMS MURDER
Durrants Attorneys in Supreme Court
 Demanding a Trial.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Theodore Durrant's attorneys appeared in su- preme court today to argue in support of their petition for writ of man date whereby they seek to compel Judge Bahrs of the superior court to set a day for the trial of the case wherein Durrant Is charged with the murder of Minnie Williams. The pc tition contains the usual allegations of the arrest of Durrant and the fact that he was held for trial by a com hitting magistrate, that information against him was filed by a district attorney, that he pleaded not guilty and that no trial of the issue thus raised has been had, although the de- fendant had made demand as provida ad by law for a trial at the earliest pos sible day. Durrant asks for an al- tennative writ to compel Judge Bahrs to set a day for trial or show cause why he does not do so.
 Assistant Attorney-General Garter said today that he has transmitted to District Attorney Barnes message recently received from Attorney Geu- eral Fitzgerald and that the office of the attorney general will have of ficially nothing more to do with tha Durrant case until after the prisoner is resentenced, unless requested to ap- pear in behalf of the prosecution.

ing ground between the upper and the neither millstones. If the insurgents refuse autonomy-I mean a complete autonomy, which gives thsm local self-government, and renders the sov- ereignty of Spain merely nominal if they refuse this, it is hard to tell what will happen. It is a very serious situation and extremely dangerous to the Sagasta government. But mean while the Amaricans who have been in confinement have been liberated and the policy of reconciliation started, and it would seem that there is noth- ing for this country to do just at pres ent but to wait until it can ascertain how the new policy is going to operate and what it Will result in Probably by the latter part of January or sometime in February we will know what tihe result is going to be, and meanwhile congress should take no action"
 CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
 What do you think of the Canadian reciprocity discussion?"
 "Oh. the discussion won't hurt any thing" MT. Burrows replied, with the air of one who did not expect any thing of importance to result from :f.
 q think he added, that the most perplexing thing that conf1onts us is how to handle the currency question. It is obvious that this question is go- ing to come up for discussion, and it is equally obvious that it will lead to a protracted debate. I am very un- certain what it will result in. I don't know what will be the attitude of the silver men toward some simple prop osition for the improvement of our currency. but I fear that they will op- pose with a free coinage propos tion any measure that is presented. If they are determined upon such a policy of opposition as to lead them to Op- pose measure permitting the na- tio1al banks to issue currency to the par value of bonds on deposit or to compel them to do so, and to relieve them from taxation on their currency, and to permit banks to be established on capital stock of $25 900, so as to eNtend the system into less thickly settled districts, then I very much fear that the agitation of the question will net result in anything. It is very hard to fiugre on what can be dome, but there is no doubt that there will be lively discussion of the question, and I don't believe that the session will close much before August"

does of the worst stamp, and after
plundering two or three places they

citizens, headed by the marshal, de-
termined to arrest the outfit. After a
fight in which several citizens were
injured and some shots were fired,
three of the toughest of the outfit
were lodged in the city lookup and
peace restored. About midnight the
citizens were aroused by cries of fire,
and found the Jail ablaze. After a
hard fight the flames We're eX-
tinguished, but not before they had
proven fatal. One of the hoboes was
cremated, another died in a few hours
and the third this morning. The jail
was a little frame affair and burned
like finder. 1t is supposed that the
prisoners set fire to the place to burn
a hole from which they could escape
and the blaze got beyond their con-
troll, resulting in death instead of lib
erty.

Many people have departed north

from the gulf coast serves to recall to
the people Of Jackson the stirring
times Of 1873, when this city was de-

for days a veritable reign of terror
pcrvaded the city and vicinity. Dur
ing these times the shotgun played a
prominent part and was found to be
by far the most persuasive means of
preventing the spread of the plague.

Ihirty-Eighth Annual Exhibit IL

1hFty-E1SNth Annual Exhibit Is
Opened.
ST. Paul, Specialize Minnesota
State fair was opened yesterday. 1t
will take wise prophet to set a limit
to the increasing splendor of these an
nual exhibits. 1t was thought a year
ago that climax had been reached.
But this years fair completely shat
tiers all previous records and marks
the thlrty-eighth annual exhibit as the
most complete exposition of it's kind
ever achieved by any commonwealth.
luis is literally true and finds its veil
ncatlOn IN the most casual eXamina-
ton into the quantity and the quality
OF the display now spread out for the
inspection of the people Of the North
west. In number the exhibits far ex-
coed those of any previous Minnesota
fair. In quality they are revelation
to the most patriotic and hopeful Of
the citizens Of the state, and are
worthy Of the observation of the
world.
Yesterday was Labor day, the open
ing of the fair being coincident with
the observance of this national holi-
day. Gov. Clough and Ignatius Don
nelly both made addresses and an
elaborate programme of sports was
carried out. From the standpoint Of
attendance it was a very successful
opening day. The exhibits were almost
all in place and the fair was in splen-
did shape for it's spectators.
There were among them quite a
number OF the delegates to the recent
Farmers congress, and without ex-
ception they We're pleased, and in
many cases amazed at what they saw.
Some of the testimony borne to the
excellence of the dairy department ap-
pears in another place, and it might
have been duplicated in almost every
other department. The fame Of Min
nesota. and particularly of it's fair,
will be spread far and wide by these
delegates who come from all parts of
the country, and such advertising can
not fail to result to the advantage Of
the state.
st. Paul and Minneapolis were both
in gala attire and special programmes
had been arranged for the amusement
of the thousands Of visitors.

vance in the price of potatoes has not
yet been recorded here, where the
price is now only 25 cents per bushel.
The crop in this part Of the state is a
big one, and when the advance comes
the benefit to the growers will be
large. PROSECUTORS here from Nc
Lean county, ILL.,, and Jackson county,
Iowa, say the price there is from IS
cents to 81 bushel, and at the pres
ent freight rates to Chicago the price
fere ought to advance at leasts3O cents
per bushel. A farmer from Lincoln
county says he has 444 acres OF DO
tatoes which he thinks will yield close
to 10000 bushels of tubers from
which he will make a fortune. On
shipments in car load lots from Sioux
Falls to Chicago profit of 40 cents a
bushel net has been realized. Several
local firms are buying all the potatoes
they can get hold of at present prices,
and will hold them for an advance.

Owatonna, Minn., Special-This city
is in a state of excitement over what
seems the probable murder of Joe
Clark. Clark has been travelling
through the country with a covered
wagon trading horses. Yesterday he
came to the City hotel and put his
team in the barn. He was accom-
panied by Jud Morgan and Lee
Hough, and after visiting his mother
and getting supper at a restaurant he
asked for a lantern and went to bed
in his Wagon in the yard. While pass
ing the wagon this morning LANDLORD
Cooper saw blood dripping from the
wagon and, throwing aside the cur
tains, found Clark gasping for breath
and lying in large pool of blood. He
was at once attended by surgeons who
found his skull badly fractured back
and over the left ear, the left ear be-
ing slit badly. The brain was also
ruptured and he will die.
Clark had some trouble with Morgan
yesterday, and as Morgan is not to be
found some think he may know the
cause Of the mucder; Clark was part
~ undressed and his money and fine
watch are missing. Police officers are
searching for Morgan, and until he is
found probably nothing will be known
of the matter.
