HAYE TWO MORE MOYEs.
Attorneys to Fight for Durrant's Life to
the Very Last.

San Francisco, Jan. although the
attorneys for Durrant were disconcert-
ed by the denial of their application for
a writ of habeas corpus and permission
to appeal therefrom in the United
States circuit court, they have yetstwo
moves by means of which they hope to
prevent the execution of their client on
Friday next. These are to appeal to
the governor for a reprieve and to ap-
ply to the supreme court for an appeal
from the circuit courts decision. At
torney Boardman is due in Washington
tonight. Strong pressure is being
brought to bear upon the governor in
behalf of the condemned murderer. In
the meantime Warden Hale has COM
pleted all arrangements for carrying
out the sentence. His parents have re-
quested William Rador to mount the
scaffold with the condemned man.
They also attempted to make arrange
ments for the funeral of their son after
the execution, but learned that there
was decided objection on the part of
the cemetery officials in this city to per-
mltting Durrant's boody to be inferred
on account of the publicity which his
case has been given.

FoLK-soNG IN AMERICA.
Henry e. Krehbiei's Lecture Last Evening

in University Extan sion Course.
Folk Song in America" was the sub
ject of Mr.. Henry E. KrehbiePs inter-
esting lecture before the University Ex-
tension Center last evening The lee
ture was illustrated throughout by
songs Of the negroes OF the southern
states, the creoles of Louisiana and
Martinique and the French Canadians.
The songs were sung by Mrs. Fl. e..
Krehbiel, soprano, assisted at the piano
forte by Miss Lotta Mills.
In his lecture Mr.. Krehbiel said that
folk-songs had no history and they rep
resent the feelings and emotions of
classes which some one has at some
time put into song and words, The
southern plantation and slavery pre-
sented an especially favorable field for
the development of these folk-songs 1t
was the natural method of expressing
plantation life in song. In the factory
of the north there IS nothing which
would be adapted to music. We leave
the singing to the spindles The lee
turer said that Boston critics denied
that the southern folk-songs were true
folk songs. The subject of the next
lecture will be How to Listen to
Music

pected happened tonight, when the
Spinners' union voted to resist the cut

100 spare spinners and $50 doffers. The
meeting. was attended by both spinners
and doffers. The general sentiment
was expressed that the weavers' and
card and picker room associations
would strike anyway, and it was not
necessary to wait to find out what ac-
tion the other unions would take.
Then came the matter of the reduc-
tion and an informal ballot was taken
on whether to accept or resist the cut
down. Every man in the hall voted in
favor Of resistance and a strike. A
committee was appointed to take charge
of the strike Samuel Ross of the local
Spinners' union, who is also secretary
of the National Mule Spinners' union,
will call meeting OF the national asso-
citation to be held in Boston next Sun
