Theodore Durrant was not hanged to-
day, petition for writ of habeas corpus
being filed in the United States circuit
court yesterday, and this morning the
petition was heard and the writ granted.
A stay of proceedings was also granted
pending the settlement OF the hAbeas
corpus matter. Durrant now has the
distinction of being the most sentenced
and least hanged man in the United
States, and 1t is not at all improbable
that he will yet get new trial.
Regardless of the fact that the trial
would cost a large sum, the sentiment
is growing that he should be tried over.
There is another sentiment that the
murder of Minnie Williams should be
Inquired into. Now that he has gotten
alstay of proceedings. in spite of the de-
-olsion of the supreme court of the United
States he may well hope to save himself
from the gallows.

The last boat to arrive in Dawson
City, August 18th last, had only hard
ware and liquors on board, having been
unable to get over the flats of the Yukon
with her entire cargo. It is easy to un-
herstand why the liquors should have
been given quick dispatch, instead of
-four or bacon; but why hardware?
The lot of the frozen miner is hard
enough anyway. No soft drinks could
be made from the kind of liquor he got,
and to add hardware to his lot, except
for fuel, seems, at this distance, insult
piled upon Oregonian.
Commencing Monday. the 18th, The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation

tween this point and Portland, having
made arrangements to run the Maria in
addition to their regular boatsJ The

The steamer Homer arrived at Seattle

Among her passengers were G. G. Burns,
who left Dawson City September 23d.
Burns poled up the Yukon and came
out over the Chilcoot trail. He stated
that when he left Dawson no one had
started down the Yukon for provisions.
The people were daily expecting boats
from St. Michaels. They thought that
the boats were delayed by accident, and
knew nothingof their inability to ascend
| the river. Burns said there would be
no starvation at Dawson this winter
though rations would be limited.

cided for the defendants upon demurrer
September 7th, and at that time the
United States district attorney was al
lowed sixty days. time to further move
or plead.
The case was called up Saturday morn
ing by Attorney F. P. Mays and Chester
v. Dolpt, when United States Assist
ant Attorney Scbnabel stated that the
government declined to further move or
plead. The court thereupon made an
order dismissing the bill.
Recently law was passed reauiring
these suits brought by the United States.
which means that the government pays
the costs of settling the controversy.
As Mr.. Murphy is about to retire from
the Office of United States district at
torney, he will leave any further action
in the proceeding to be taken by his sue
cessor, John Hall. The attorney-gen-
eral at Washington directs the cases.
This order virtually closes the case
and quiets the title to the land in con-
troversy. It will no doubt be a source
of great relief to all those interested.

HE WAS LOCKED UP.
lGrand Juror from Hood River GETS
In Jail.

Last evening Mr.. Frank Button, who
is member of the grand jury, went
iHto the county Jail for the purpose of
seeing friend of his from Hood River,
whom he had assisted in indicting for
assault and battery. OF course when he
entered the Jail corridor the door was
locked behind him, and Deputy Sheriff
Kelley BEING busy, SOON forgot all about
him.
Supper time coming on, Kelley walked
off, taking the keys with him, and when
Button wanted out there were none to
heed his cries. Frank waited as pa
tiently as possible, but discovered that
an hour in Jail when he wanted to get
out was quite different thing from the
hour he had passed in conversation
when he knew, or thought that he knew,
he could get out when he desired Jailor
Fitzgerald came around in an hour, but
Kelley had the keys. SO he could do
nothing for him. Then the inmates of
the Jail caught on to the fact that they
had sucker, and proceeded to organize
a kangaroo court and try Button as
cnminal kangaroo. He was fined what
tobacco he had, and undoubtedly would
have been compelled to disgorge dol
lar or two, but as the boys knew he was
from Hood River, they didn't suspect
him of having it.
He was let out during the night, and
this morning insisted on the grand jury
visiting the Jail in body to see how un-
Acomfortable it was.

most satisfactory revival, ard one prom
Using lively things fla the future. To begin
with, we hear from London that there is
reason to believe a collision has occurred
between TIE British and French forces at
Mkt, in the hinterland of Lagos, West
Africa. If tue, this may be the lighted
match dropped into the European powder
magazine; especially If the story, that the
engagement WAS a bloody one, should be
corrohorated. A full description of the
scene of the trouble and of the basis of diff
Guilty between the two powers will be found
in another column, and should he read at
tentiyeiy, as the effect of this new develop
ment upon the peace OF Europe and the
world, while it cannot now be predicted
may be serious and even startling. All
thecontinental powers have been prating Of
peace, but they have gone on increasing
their armaments and taxing the people
for the maintenance of enormous armies
until the breaking point nearly has been
reached. This would not have happened il
there had not been serious belief among
the governing class that the greatest inter-
national struggle of history was within
sight. The feverish desire of Great Britain
to take hostages of America in the shape
of u general arbitration treaty, In order TO
neutralize us, and avert the possibility of
future alliance between this country and
Russia is another Indication of the same ap-
prehension. Half a dozen times lately the
danger of a general war has been imn.i
nent; but it las not come heca use nuboly
was quite ready for 1t. An accident like
the Lagos affair might precipitate it, and
would be more hkely to than the Compare
lively unimportant matter which drove
Prussia and France at each Others threats
in 1870. The foreign dispatches will be
watched with keen interest for the nex5
few days.
