what she was seeking for-the truth in
him, though she might have been helped
by the outward shape of him to per-

ing the conclusion of a treaty
of peace which shall deter
mine the control, disposition and

these terms are accepted by Spain in
their entirety it is stated that commits
sioners will be named by the United
States to meet commissioners on the
part of Spain for the purpose of con-
Guiding a treaty of peace on the basis
above indicated.
The United States cabinet half eX-
pected Spain to propose a counter
proposition Of terms; but as they did
not conclude to do this but simply ask
for more light on certain point, it
was a clear intimatiOn that they
were about to accept in a rea-
sonable time our terms. ''Of
course" said the cabinet officer, this
request for further explanation is only
another excuse for delay, but it can
not be taken to mean procrastina-
ton. No one expected Spain to
accept absolutely and at once the
presidents terms of peace. That
they seem to hesitate on one point
only, if the dispatches are correct,
seems somewhat remarkable and while
there may be delay of day or two
in giving a further explanation on the
particular point desired, in my opin-
ion, if this is all, an early agreement
can be easily reached"

The story may or may not be true
that England refuses to interfere with
Germany's free hand in China on the
condition that Germany does not
coerce England in Egypt, but 1t is a
reflection on the position of England
that such a story should even be told.
Time was when England was not sus-
pected capable of such trades and
agreements. England in an earlier age
would have asked neither advice. as
sistance nor liberation in holding
Egypt. There is nothing more remark
able in modern history than the self
abandonment of Great Britain Of the

Denver. Jan. "a special from
Washington to the Republican says:
Miss Kate Waite, twenty-four years
old. a daughter of Ex-Governor Waite
of Colorado, attempted suicide about
2:3O O'Clock yesterday afternoon at 81
II. Street Northwest, by taking one
grain of strychnine. 1t was said that
this was her fourth attempt. On one
occasion, 1t is said; she took two ounces
of laudanum. Drs. Herbert and Sillers
attended her and she was afterwards
sent to the Emergency hospital.
Miss Waite lived her some time ago,
being employed in the government
printing office. but lost her place and
went away from the city. Her broth
er, Arthur II. Waite, is also employed
in the government printing office.
She returned here about four months
ago and tried to get a reinstatement in
her former position, but failed, and has
been Respondent ever since. This, it is
thought. was the cause of her making
the attempt upon her life She bought
the strychnine at drug store several
days ago, telling the druggist she want
ed to use it on a cat that had met with
an accident. The landlady of the house
where Miss Waite took the poison told
reporter that she had been despon-
dent for some time.
Her brother, she said, was married,
and the sister seemed to think that his
marriage had taken him from her.
This, together with her failure to get
, employment in the government print
ing office. had resulted in making her
Respondent. -Four times she said Miss
Waite had attempted her life by taking
poison. When taken from the house
the young woman's condition was re-
garded as serious, although she was
not unconscious. She took the poison
Just after dinner, and this, the doctors
thought, was favorable to her and that

Denver Hotel Men In Trouble and Swear
Vengeance.
Denver, Jan. 9.-The Republican this
morning says:
The Hotel Mems Association of
Colorado will probably try conclusions
with the constitutio iality Of the game
law of 1897. Recent prosecutions of
hotel men in Denver and other cities
have set the hosts thinking to what ex-
tent they are protected, and in how
far they can serve their guests with
game without incurring the displeas-
ure of the law. Fred w. Bailey of the
st. James hotel was arrested last even
ing on three warrants from Justice
Cranes court. The warrants charged
him with having and serving antelope
meat in the close season. He was re-
! leased on his personal recognizance OF
$500 pending a hearing.

believed it was time the hotel men OF

Washington, Jan. S.-The feature of
the Senate session was a speech deliv-
cred by Mr.. Teller of Colorado, regard
ing press reports that the recent efforts
to make it appear that Secretary Gage
had rendered his resignation as a
member of the Cabinet to President
Mckinley were part of a conspiracy
of the silver men to disrupt the Cab
met and create dissensions between
the President and his advisers. Mr..
Teller branded the publication as an
insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver He was satisfied
that the President and Secretary Gage
were in full accord upon the financial
question. He attacked the Republican
party because it was a party advOcat-
ing the gold standard. and expressed
his intention of doing all in his power
to defeat the party in 1900 and to drag
the present administration from power
because the policy of the party was, in
his opinion, inmical to the best and
highest interests of the people of the
United States.
At the opening of the Senate the re-
ply of the attorney general to the SEN
ate resolution calling upon members
Of the Cabinet to inform the Senate

puRRANr HANGED.
After Long Legal Delays He Goes to the
Gallows


San Quentin, Cal, Jan. S.-When
William Henry Theodore Durrant died
on the gallows yesterday morning for
the murder of Blanche Lamont, he
gave such an exhibition of coolness
and nerve as has seldom been seen un-
der similar circumstances. Hopeful
almost to the very last minute that
something or some one would inter-
vene to save him, he walked to the
scanold this morning and made his lit
tie speech, protesting his innocence, as
calmly and with as distinct enuncia-
tion as If he had been addressing an
assemblage of friends upon some ordi-
nary topic of the day. His face was
pale, his eyes were red, but his voice
was firm and he stood as solid as a
rock while he proclaimed his innocence
and professed forgiveness to those
who, he said, had bounded him to
death.
There was not a hitch or accident to
mar the plans of Warden Hale in car
rying out the sentence Of the law.
The moose was adjusted the trap was
sprung, the stout rope. held and Dur
rants dead body dangled at the end.
The neck was broken by the fall of
over five feet and fifteen minutes later
the murderer's body was cut down and
placed in the coffin.
Consistent to the last Durrant died
protesting religion. But he died, ac-
cepting at the last moment the COM
forts of the Catholic Church instead of
those of the Baptist faith, in which he
was reared. Rev. RAIDER, a Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant. but the minis
ter would not say that he thought Dur
rant innocent and the condemned man
declined to accept his services unless
RAIDER professed belief in his inno-
cence.
Then it was that the once ardent
Baptist turned to the Catholic Church
for consolation and called upon Faith
er Lagan, priest who had frequently
visited him in prison, to attend him.
Father Lagan responded promptly and
performed the last solemn rites Of the
| church.
