CABLE TO WEST INDIES.
Great Britain Independent of the
United States.

New York, Nov. s. - A special cable
from London to the Evening Post says:
Today's issue of shares and debentures
by the West Indian Cable Company, Lin
tied, marks the beginning of the end Of
Englands dependency upon the United
States for cable connection with the West
Indies. But for President Clevelands
Venezuela war message England would
have been quite content to continue tn
depend upon the United States lines via
Florida and Cuba, but the officials here
realized the possibility of war with the
United States and the consequent isola-
ton of the West Indian colonies, SO she
a long fight, arrangements were made for
a yearly subsidy of 10000 pounds to Brit
ish Canadian capitalists who own the Hal
flax Bermuda cable for its extension from
the Bermudas and ultimately to all other
leading West Indian islands and South
America. The cable will be completed by
the first of February. Showing the spirit
Of the new enterprise, it may be said of
today's issue of 100000 in shares and
100000 in AZ per cent debentures, more
than thirds were subscribed privately
before the issue was offered to the public.
A similar imperial undertaking, the
Pacific cable project, is still u subject of
inquiry. The Canadian proposal for
cable to Australia from Vancouver has
now been supplemented by rival pro-
ject to connect Australia with England
via Cape Colony, without touching for
eign territory.

FINE SHOWING OF IDAHO BANKS.
Comptroller Of the TPeasury's Re.
port Ranks Them High.

Washington, Nov 5.-The 10 national
banks in the state of Idaho make an ag-
gregate showing equal to the best of any
section of the United States, as appears
from the reports received by the comp
troller OF the currency in response to
call for a statement of their condition
made last month. The average reserve
held is 4O.4S per cent The total resources
OF the 10 banks has increased from 49,.
36O,739 in July last to $3,5O5, 44S at the
present time. That the banks are doing
more business is shown by the increase in
the amount of loans and discounts from
$l,O36,2l4 to $2,329,344. The lawful
money reserve in the banks is S276,O92.
OF which $2l4,634 is in specie. There has
been remarkable falling off in amount
OF gold coin held in reserve in the banks
and corresponding increase in the
amount of silver coin. In July last the 10
banks had on hand in gold coin $3.50. 1917.
whereas they now have but $S5 400 in the
yellow metal. The Idaho banks have due
them from other national banks not re-
serve agents $259, 100; from state banks
and bankers, $l76,953, and from approved
reserve agents $644,l33. They owe to
other national banks $l2,744, and to state
banks and bankers $22,994.

WILL NOW Be RE.SENTEkCFD'
DURRANT's LAST HOPE is GONE.
Supreme Court VIII Not Interfere
when Told the News the Murder
er Displayed No Emotion. Saying
he Expected IL.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The United
States supreme court has affirmed the de.
cision of the circuit court of California
refusing writ Of habeas corpus to Will.
lam Henry Theodore Durrant, under sen.
tence of death for the murder of Miss
Blanche Lamont at San Francisco in
April, 1895.
The case has attracted attention
throughout the whole United States, and
today's decision permits the law to take
its course with the condemned man. Chief
Justice Fuller announced the courts de-
cisiOn, but made no remarks save to cite
the few authorities on which the court
based its decision.
The decision was in response to mo-
ton of Attorney General Fitzgerald to
dismiss the case or affirm the decision OF
the court below. The chief justice in rem.
dering the opinion of the court, INDUCED
in no comment whatever beyond remark
ing that the order of the circuit court
was affirmed on the authority of the de-
cisions of the court in previous cases.
Attorney General Fitzgerald was present
in the courtroom when the opinion was
rendered and said it would insure Dur.
rants hanging.
As soon as the opinion Of the chief JUS
tice was known Attorney General Fitz-
gerald telegraphed the fact to the district
attorney having charge Of the case, and
it will devolve upon the latter officer to
determine just when Durrant shall be
brought before the superior court for re-
sentence. 1t will not be necessary, Mr..
Fitzgerald says, to await the receipt of
the formal mandate from the supreme
court. which usually is handed down in
about 80 days from the time of the de-
cision. This fact, he says. was fully es-
tablished in the Mcguire murder case,
brought to the supreme court from New
York.
Durrant Displayed No Emotion.
San Quentin, CAL. Nov. Captain Ed
gar. who is acting warden at San Quentin
in Warden Hale's absence. notified The
odore Durrant of the supreme court de-
cision at Washington. Durrant did not
display any emotion, and remarked that
he did not expect anything else
District Attorney Barnes, who conduct.
ed the sensational trial, the result of
which was the conviction of Durrant for
the murder of Blanche Lamont, was much
pleased with the decision of the supreme
court 1t paves the way for the execution
of five other murderers who have been
sentenced to death, but whose execution
has been deferred pending tn decision in
the Durrant case.
