Uutn October.
BAN FRANoIsoo, Aug. 9.-The Supreme Court
to-day decided to take no action on the appeal
Of Theodore Durrant until the United States
Supreme Court disposos of tho case of the muir
derer. A motion to this effect was made by
Attorney Deuprey. and the hearing and grant
ing of the motion did not occupy more than o
few minutes.
Durrant was sentenced to DO hanged on Juno
8 and to be confined In San Quentin until that
date. His attorneys appealed on tho ground
that Durrant. because Of his Imprisonment, was
about to be punished twice for the same offence.
While the appeal was pending Deuprey asked
for o writ of hRboas corpus from the Federal
courts. which writ was refused, and an appeal
was taken to the United States Supreme Court.
This tribunal will not meet until October. when
It is expected that tho case will be heard.
II the writ 10 denied. and tho general impress
sion is that tho lower. court will be sustained.
then tho attorneys for the murderer will ask for
a stay OF execution until the State Supreme
Court can act upon the appeal. This would give
the attorneys time to prepare Q writ OF habeas
corpus on some other ground, and unless heroic
measures arc adopted the case might 60 on in

wha. he represents as the story OF the first clash

Wilson Tariff bill was pending Mr.. Walker
wrote on from Washington to Prof. Gardner of
Brown, requesting him to write his views upon
protection and free trade.
Prof. Gardner answered the letter, but he evil
IDENTIFY incurred the displeasure OF Mr.. Walker,

about free trade than about protection. Mr..
Walker wrote back TO Prof. Gardner requesting
something else. Indicating his desire for a
favorable V CIV Of protection and a more elabo-
rnte treatment OF that side OF the tariff con.
