DuRRANT SENTENCED.
The Prisoner Taken TO San Quentin
to Remain Until His Execution

The Prisoner Taken to San Quentin
to Remain Until His Execution.
San Francisco, April l3-Theodore
Durrant was this afternoon taken to
San Quentin prison, there to be con-
fined until his execution, which was
fixed by the court today for June Il.
This is the second time Durrant has
been sentenced to death for the same
crime, and he received this Judgment,
like the other, with calm Indifference.
His attorney, after the sentence had
been pronounced, made several further
attempts to secure delay for his client,
but Judge Bahrs, who pronounced SEN
tence, was not impressed with the
logic of Durrant's attorney, and de-
clined to modify his sentence in any
way The murderer's attorney moved
successively to strike from the sentence
the allusion to Durrant's confinement
in San Quentin, then filed a notice of
appeal from the order and asked for a
certificate of probable cause, and finally
asked for a stay OF execution for four
hours, that the application for writ
of probable cause might be taken to the
supreme court. All these motions We're
denied. When taken to the ferry en-
route for the prison. Durrant's nerve
broke down at the sight of the crowds,
who rejoiced in his passing to the
shadow of the gallows after so many
and protracted delays He murdered
Blanche Lamont over two years ago,
and was arrested week after commit
ting the crime.

San Francisco, April 13.-Joseph
Hertzel, aged "a, was accidentally shot
in the right eye tonight by Tessie Neu-
berger, 9-year-old girl. While Hert-
eel was repairing boys parlor rifle,
Tessie Neuberger, who lives in his
house, seized the weapon and asked
Hertzel to ''play soldier.'' After
marching around the room, the child
raised the weapon to her shoulder and
pulled the trigger, the bullet entering
Hertzel's right eye and lodging in the
brain. Realizing what she had done,
the frightened child ran to her mother
and informed her of the occurrence.
The latter at once visited Hertzel's
room and found the occupant lying on
the floor. Hertzel was removed to the
receiving hospital. He is believed to
be fatally injured.

Memphis, April 13.-The water in

Reports received tonight from the over

The day has been an ideal one, and
every planter in the delta is in better
spirits.
At Greenville the river, as we'll as

night At Vieksburg and all points

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

Buyers of wheat have been slaughter
ed this week and many holders have
loosened their grip ON hitherto well
held lines, believing as they did, in
the many crop reports telling of damage
in the Southwest, and more particularly
in stories from Indiana and Eastern
Missouri. Their faith appears to have
been misplaced. They received no as
sistance from the general public, and
people who are chronic sellers saw the
opportunity and persistently fought
the campaign, and their efforts have
met with success. The result has been
a severe liquidation of the previously
existing speculative interests, and there
can but be little doubt that the mar
ket at the close of the week is more
nearly evened up than at any time in
several years past. Wheat has lacked
a good cash demand for some time, and
without it there is only the conclusion
to be drawn that value should decline.
The fact that red wheat commands a
high premium has not had the slight
est effect in preventing or even staying
the depression that set in early in the
week and which caused loss of cents
in the future deliveries and proper
tionate break in the cash grades. A
great many inclined to the belief thai
the break was due to manipulation and
not from legitimate causes. This theory
is rather doubtful and can be ques-
toned. The market is always more or
less subject to manipulation, but to the
extent of the decline that has occurred
this week does not seem probable. We
are of the opinion that the current
weakness is due to odisappointment with
the rate of flour consumption, which
is smaller than had been expected, and
with the larger arrivals than had been
looked for, and, although the public is
suffering this disappointment, it has ne
need to despair, for. at the slow rate of
current consumption, the world ends
the crop season lower in supply than in
any season before since the price was go
cents bushel for an average of a sea-
son.
For various reasons it is apparent
that the present price is to be temper
ary only.

Key West, April 12.-News was re-
ceived last night that the Cuban insur-
gents had made an attack on the train

yet, but the Cuban sympathizers here
believe it to be true and are according
ly jubilant.

as w 'ochshHhobt oet
 ne years ago went to the gold
 1f Equador, has returned to the
 7 on visit. In an interview he said :
 ''To the Province of Esmeraldas, in the northern part of Equador, are gold fields surpassing in richness and extent the famous mines of South Africa. When l first went into that region, sis yeAfs ago, it was almost terra ipcog, nita, but the reports of engineers and mining experts were 60 encouraging that capitalists in Great Britain, Canada and United States became interested, and 1t was without much difficulty that funds were raised to develop the enter prise. Now there arc six chartered companies, owning an area of sixty qusrb miles, and the Equadoran Gov ernmeht has, with the utmost hberahty, given them twenty-five years exemption from taxation and the right to import mining machinery duty free. It is all placer mining, and the dirt is the richest in yellow metal that ever heard of, running as high as sl00 cubic yard. while the conditions for ex- tracting the ore are perfect.
 '1t is wonderful country, and to a stranger the sights are so marvellous and different from all that he has ever known that a journey through it keeps him in 8 perpetual state of astonishment. While the foliage and vegetation is dense and luxuriant, it is not hard to clear the land, for the roots of the trees are all above ground. In going up one of the rivers the Indian boatmen who pole you along in canoes have to part the long streaming rope-like parasites that depend from the trees along the banks.
 ''1t is hard work making your way from the seaboard into the mining rC- zion, and the best the traveller can do is mile sp hour in the canoes, which are handled with degree of skill that no white man could hope to attain. The current is not only very swift, but there are numerous rapids, and here it is that the boatman's clsverness is manifest. The country abounds in pests, such as the centipede and tarant- ais. but the people escape them by building their houses on piles and use ladders for ingress to their domiciles. Though it rains every day the climate IS hsalthful, and the temperature at the foothills of the Andes Is delightful.
