DEAR STR:-The receips of sheep on

the coming week will have no improve

frmed the decision of the circuit court
for California, refusing a writ of ha>
beas corpus to William Henry Thee,
dore Durrant, under sentence Of death
for the murder of Blanche Lamont in
San Francisco in April. 1895. Today's
decision permits the law to take its
course with the condemned man Chief
Justice Fuller announced the decision
but made no remarks in doing SO, save
to cite a few authorities on which the
court based its decision. Attorney Cen
eral Fitzgerald was in the court room
when the decision vas rendered and
said it would insure Durrant's execu-
ton and be in all respects satisfactory
to the state.
The United States supreme court to-
day affirmed the decision of the lower
court in the case of the Interstate
Commerce commission against the AL
ALBANIA Midland and Georgia railway
company and others. The case arose
out of charges by the citizens of Troy,
Alabama, that the company was disre.

THEY WANT TO SETTLE.
The Visit of the Canadian Officials May
Mean Much.

Washington. Nov. S.-The authori-
ties here have been advised that the
arrival tomorrow of Sir Wilfred Laur-
Ter. premier Of Canada; Sir Louis
rier cabinet, and other officials of the
Dominion, is to- have an important
bearing not only on the Behring sea
settlement, but in appending questions
which have been sources of interna-
tional complication between the United
States and Canada.
Laurier and his associates will urge
strongly hat the labor immigration
question be settled, and on this point
will confer with the president. Under
the premier's direction the Canadian
parliament passed an alien immigration
law last spring by which contractors
and American labor will be barred from
competing in the work Of Crows Nest
Pass railway. a government undertake
ing in western Canada. On the other
hama it is claimed by Canadians that
5000 Americans are in the Klondike
territory belonging to Canada and that
fully 10000 American contract laborers
are working in the mines Of British Co
lumbia. The United States immigration
laws, it is asserted, are administered
with %harshness along the Canadian
border and are daily a source Of irrita-
ton. Sir Wilfred, therefore, will sug-
gest that the causes of irritation be re-
moved on both sides, and it is under
stood that he is prepared to offer the
repeal Of the Canadian restrictions in
the Klondike and other regions if the
administration Of American law is
made more lenient.
In this connection also the co-opera-
ton of the United States Is desired in
plans Of the Canadian authorities to
make an easy route to Klondike. The
proposed route is by boat from Fort
Wrangle to Stickeen river. which Is in
States, and up Stickeen via Tasken lake
to the Yukon river and thence to the
gold fields. The need Of this short route
under the patronage OF the Dominion,
is felt by the Canadian premier to be
imperative. in view Of the information
reaching him that Is. 900 Australians
will come to Klondike in the spring. A
total of $4,000 colonists is expected to
head that way.
In the matter Of reciprocity, the gen.
eral purpose of the negotiations will be
to give the United States the benefit of
the minimum clause Of the present
Canadian law in exchange for a 20 per
cent reduction allowed under the Ding
Hey law.

A FOOL AND HIS VOW.

Rather than break a vow made in a
moment of anger 25 years ago, andrew
Matthews OF Baltimore will take no eff
fective part in the coming election, and
unless he moves to another state, he
will apparently be without a vote for
the rest of his life. When Matthews
presented himself at the registration
booth in his precinct this week he an
swered all the regular questions to the
satisfaction of the attendant officials.
but when they passed over the reg
istration book for him to sign, in &C
cordance with the Maryland laws, he
refused to write his. name in it. and
insisted hat one Of the officers
should act as his amanuensis. When
interrogated at to his ability to read
and write, Matthews admitted that he
could do both, but proceeded to eX-
plain that in 1862 he had Endorsed a
note for $1,000 Is a favor to a friend of
his, and as a reward for this demonstra>
ton Of his educational attachments had
later been compelled to pay the full
amount, principal and interest, of the
loan. That episode had 'convinced him
that writing wa a dangerous art, and
as the only means of avoiding the pay
ment of other peoples debts in the
future he had solemnly promised him
self never to take pen in hand again.
The tale awakened sympathy. but it
didn't change the law requiring every
would-be voter competent to perform
the task to sign his name on the regis
tration book, and consequently the
oa~th-keeping Mr.. Matthews was. first
c%ourteously and her with a vehemence
that permitted of no refusal, requested
to seek the outer air. He was not
content with outer air, however. He
wanted to vote, Int he went to the
Superior Court for assistance. The
Judge heard his petition with interest.
If not with patience, but refused to
Grant it. Hence, Baltimore and Mary
land will have to get along as best they
can with out such help as Matthews
ballot might have given them, for he
clings to his o and is as sure as ever
that in 1t alone lies safety.

several long poles were pushed toward
the struggling young woman, but she
pushed them aside and sank before
