DURRANT MURDER CASE.
Argument for Advancement on Dock
ct of the Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Attorney Gem
eraI Fitzgerald. of California, to-day made
a motion in the United States Supreme
Court for the advancement of the Durrant
case on the docket. After stating the facts
of Durrants crime, of his sentence and
confinement in prison ana his appeal to the
federal courts, the motion presents the fol-
lowing reasons for a speedy hearing of the
case:
1.-The special and peculiar circumstances
existing as reasons for the advancement of
this case on the docket of this court are as
follows:
"First-Tha. tlds is a case involving the
prompt and orderly administration of the
criminal laws of the State of California.
Second-That the appellant has been con-
victed of murder in the first degree in one
of the Superior Courts of the State of Cali
fornia, the Judgment of conviction has been
passed on and affirmed by the highest jul
dicial tribunal of that State and this pro-
ceeding delays and thwarts the punishment
of appellant in accordance with the judg-
ment pronounced against him by the courts
of said State.
''Third-That by virtue of the provisions
of Section 766 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, the appeal in this case
prevents the prompt and orderly admins
tration of the criminal laws of the State
of California.
''Fourth-That by reason of this pro-
ceeding and others of like character now
pending in this court, the enforcement of
the criminal laws of the State of California
is hampered and thwarted; and the laws
of that State for the administration of JUS
tice and the punishment of crime are rem
dered largely nugatory and are brought into
derision and contempt.
'Fifth-That, therefore, speedy determi-
interests of justice. law and order, and is
a matter of the most Importance to the peo-
pie of the State of California

SHERMAN TO SALISBURY.
BFitsin's Action Seal Conference
Viewed with Surprise.

BFitein's Action Seal Conference
Viewed with Surprise.
WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Secretary Sher-
man has written reply to the note of Lord
Salisbury, expressing Great Britain's dec
clination to take part in a Boring sea con-
ference in which Russia and Japan are to
participate. The essential features of Mr..
Sherman's reply have been sent by cable to
the British government and the reply in
full is now on its way to the British au-
thorities. Lord Salisbury's note of declina-
ton, it can now be stated, bore date of Oct.
G. last Wednesday, so that the response is
made with promptness.
The answer states that the United States
government views with astonishment the
determination Of Great Britain not to par
ticipate in a conference including Russia
and Japan, and the statement is made that
up to the 23d Of last month the United
States authorities had fully expected that
the conference would proceed with Russia
and Japan, as we'll as Great Britain pres
ent. 1t is pointed or riat, aside from the
written correspondence, to which Lord
Salisbury had called attention. there were
verbal negotiations between ambassador
Hay and his lordship, in which specific ref
erence was made to the participation of
Russia and Japan. AT one of these verbal
exchanges Ii is stated Lord Salisbury said
he would advise with the officials of the
Foreign Office concerning the subjects dis
cuSsed, which included the participation or
Russia and Japan. Subsequently, July 20,
ambassador Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury,
saying the President hoped to have Russia
and Japan participate in the conference. In
view of these circumstances, the United
States had confidently expected that Great
Britain would take part in the conference,
and that Russia and Japan would be repre-
sented with the approval of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and in view
of the differences which have arisen, the
State Department suggests a conference in
accord vrsth the terms of Lord Salsburys
agreement, as he CONSTITUTES ii, namely, be-
tween experts of Great Britain, the United
States and Canada. This last feature is
row under consideration by the British gov
eminent, it's substance having been trans
mitted by cable, but it is not expected that
an answer will be made until Mr.. Sher-
mans answer in detail reaches London.
In the meantime preparations for the con-
ference between the United States, Russia
and Japan are proceeding. The japanese
delegates, who are now en- route from San
Francisco have decided to stop over for two
days at Chicago. and will not reach Wash
ington until next Sunday night. Two of the
Russian delegates. Mr.. Botlxine and Mr..
Routkowsky. are here, and the remaining
delegate, Mr. Grebnitsky. is expected soon.
While no exact date has been fixed for the
conference the expectation is that all the
delegates will be here in time to bring them
together on Wednesday, Oct. 20.
