EXECUTION OP DURRANT POSTPONED.
A San Francisco Judge Tried to Hang the
Condemned Man Last Friday, But the
Supreme Court Interposes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l0.-William
Henry Theodore Durrant, the young
medical student condemned to death
for the murder of Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams in this city,
was brought over from San Quentin
prison today and upon being taken
before Judge Bahrs, shortly before
noon, was sentenced to be hanged
on Friday morning next.
The defendants attorneys again
entered technical objections to the
proceedings, but Judge Bahrs, after
listening patiently to all they had to
say, swept their protest aside and
pronounced Judgment slowly and i'm
pressively, ordering that the young
defendant, standing alone in the
crowded court room, be hanged on
Friday, Nov. II, between the hours
of sunrise and noon. AS the words,
Friday, Nov. H." left the judges
lips, a murmur of horror sounded
through the room. Two short days
to prepare for death, after two years
of false hope and encouragement.
Women hid their faces, while the
men craned their necks to see how
Durrant would take it. He expected
it; he never flinched. As the date OF
his doom was pronounced, just a
suspicion OF "A sneer appeared at the
corners of his mouth.
1t was the expression of one who
would bid definance to the last. And
when all was over and the officials
began to clear the court room, he re
sumed his seat and chatted uncon
cernedly with his father and some
sympathizing friends.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. n.-Willian
Henry Theodore Durrant will not b,
hanged at San Quentin tomorrow
after all, the supreme court of thii
state having granted him anothe
respite at the eleventh hour. Up t.
4 O'Clock this afternoon when tn,
news flashed over the wires from
Sacramento that the court, now IL
session there, had granted a writ o
probable cause and instructed War
den Hale not to carry out the execu
tion of Durrant until further orders

A Romance Spoiled.

A railroad romance that attracted
considerable notice at the time on ac-
count of the part that William j.
Bryan played in it is knocked in the
head by the Topeka Capital as fol-
lows: 1T will be remembered that
in the Santa Fe wreck at Lang a
man, crying piteously and calling the
names of his wife and children, was
found by William J. Bryan, who
carried water to him and received
his dying words. One imaginative
reporter said that the last words OF
the man were a blessing upon Bryan.
That man did not die. He had no
idea of dying. 1t was a scheme to
get a good settlement with the rail-
road company. He played a strong
hand, but the claim agent played a
stronger. and 800 paid the bill

Spain Poweriess to Conquer Cuba.

Spain herself has demonstrated
that she is powerless either to con-
ciliate Cuba or to conquer 1t. Her
sovereignty over 1t is, in my humble
Judgment, now extinct ''for all pur-
poses of it's rightful existence" and
the hopeless struggle for Its re-es-
tablishment has degenerated into a
strife which means nothing more
than the useless sacrifice of human
life and the utter destruction of the
very subject matter of the conflict
ITSELF" This deplorablesta of things
is not only shocking to humanity,
but 1t is a special and grievous bur-
den to the people of the United States,
by reason of their intimate CONNER
cial and social relations and sympa-
thies with the people of an island so
near to our coast line as to be al
most a part of our territory. Our
commerce with Cuba, amounting
annually at the beginning of the
present war to 800, ,OOO, 900. has been
nearly wiped out. The millions of
American capital invested in the
island have been either destroyed or
rendered unproductive; many of
our citizens reduced to absolute
want have been forced to appeal to
Congress for aid; while too many of
them have found their way into
Spanish dungeons from which some
have been able to- escape only through
10 nf pt1f Inl lf
worst Of all. our peace as a nation
is broken and disquieted by an end
less strife that enters as potent
factor into our internal politics.
With patience almost unexampled
we endured all such evils during the
period of the great war that began
at Yara in 1858, and ended ten years
later with the treaty of Zanion; then
came the little war; and finally the
last great war that has now been in
progress for more than two years
and a half. Thus we have been
years Of war in Cuba out of the last
twenty mine. Throughout the pres
ent struggle, apart from our COM
mercial losses, we have been in a
state OF semi-war with Spain; a large
part of our fleet has become a coast
guard; and our diplomatic relations
have been so strained that for more
than a yenr the Spanish government
deemed 1t necessary to guard my
place of residence with soldiers, night
and day. Since my departure this
Impossible state of things has be-
come still more acute, and the
uncertainty thus produced is the
one obstacle In the path of the
long-hoped for prosperity just
dawning upon US. Business men are
plainly stating to each other that
such uncertainty now hangs like q
cloud over all future transactions.
1t is great folly to suppose that
the Cuban question is something
that we can set aside n we will and
go about our own business. 1t has
intruded itself into our national
affairs with all it's disturbing conse-
quences, and 1t is here to stay until
we take hold OF 1t and solve 1t wisely,
not only in our own interest but in
that of humanity.-From "a Review
of the Cuban Question:" by the Hon.
Hannis Taylor, Late Minister Pieni-
potentiary of the United States to
Spain, in North American Review for
November.

appeal from that decision to the su-
preme court of the United States.
Meanwhile, however, Attorney Du-
pree hastened to Sacramento and
applied to the state supreme court
for a writ of probable cause for the
purpose OF staying the proceedings
against his client upon grounds that
no official knowledge of the supreme
court of the United States in the
matter of Durrant's appealing from
the decision of the federal court had
yet been received, that the superior
court had acted too hastily In SEN
fencing Durrant to be hanged tOmOr-
row, as the law required that he be
given at least 60 days grace; and
thirdly, that the pendency OF the
appeal in the supreme court affect
ing the condemned was of itself suffi-
cient cause for a stay Of execution.
The matter was partially argued In
chambers and later argued before
the full court and taken under ad-
visement. Shortly afterward the
court announced its decision. grant
ing the writ applied for. in which all
the justices concurred.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l2.-In view
Of the fact that the supreme court,
now I'm session at Sacramento, will
adjourn on Tuesday next until the
second Monday in January, 1T is not
considered probably that w. II. T.
Durrant, the condemned murderer of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Will
liams, will expiate the crime for
which he was sentenced to be hanged
in December, 1895, during the current
year.
In the ordinary course of events,
the matter cannot come up for hear
ing upon the points involved in the
order granting certificate of prob
able cause, to which Durrant owes
his second lease of life, until the mid.
die of January.
After the case has been decided an.
other 80 days at least must intervene
before the remittitur from the su.
preme court can reach the trial court
and the condemned man be resen
fenced for the second time. Thif
course would not allow the execu
tion to take place before the latter
part OF FEBRUARY or the beginning o
March next.

[Great Falls Leader.l
H. s. Sherard of Gilt Edge fame
has reached San Francisco on his re-
turn from the Klondike, where he
has spent the past two years. His
friends and acQuaintances will be
glad to learn that Mr.. Sherard was
fortunate enough to lecate claim z
ON Eldorado creek. This claim he
sold to Henry Bratnober. represent
ing the London Exploration COM
pany, for $l75.O 900. OF this amount
$4,000 was paid down and the re-
mainder will be payable at the An
glo-California bank, San Francisco,
at the end of six months. Mr.. Sher-
ard brought down in gold dust
enough to mint $1,000, the dust
averaging $l4 per ounce.
In an innerview at Frisco Mr..
Sherard spoke of other deals Mr..
Bratnober made for the London COM
pany while at Dawson. He said:
"Bratnober came to Dawson the
past summer and bought eleven
other claims besides mine on Eldora-
do creek. L was told the aggregate
amount paid for these claims was
80. 200, 900. He paid either $275. 900 or
$3.50, 900 for one claim. He could not
get claim on Eldorado creek and
offered $5OO.OO0 price for claims /,
and 8 Oh the same creek. Their
owners declined to sell for less than
81 ,0OO, 900 each. The first four claims
on Eldorado creek are phehomenally
rich and their gold will run fully S1t
to the ounce. Bratnober's twelve
claims lie between claims 4 and IL.

all that the story sets forth, said Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson after
reading an account published in the
London Daily Mail, of what was de
scribed as a discovery of the highest
Importance, made on the experimental
farm of the Earl OF Winchelsea at
Sleaford.
The alleged discovery was that the
principle of Decentralization could
be applied to cereals, grasses, c%loyers,
and all other forms Of agricultural
food plants, The most interesting
statement next to the claim for discoy-
cry was hat the Messrs. Carton,
who conducted the experiments, said
their discovery would enable England
to take the lead in supplying the world
with new varieties, and that it would
be possible to grow the varieties of
wheat in England which now are i'm
ported for special qualities not hither-
to attainable in English grown yarie-
ties.
