DURRANT HANGED.
The Brutal Murder of Blanche Lamont
Is Avenged.

The Brutal Murder of Blanche Lamont
Is Avenged.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL, Jan. s.
Theodore Durrant. murderer, was
hanged in the prison yesterday at 10:35
a. m. Despite the efforts of his attor-
neys, the supreme court refused to
issue writ of habeas corpus. The
prisoner rested quietly all night. At
6:1s he awoke, and, bidding the guards
good morning, dressed himself in
neat suit of black provided for the
execution. No collar or necktie was
provided, as they would have to be
removed when the moose was placed,
around the neck. Durrant noticed
this omission and at his request the
missing articles sof attire were sent.
him. Durrant also remarked that the
socks sent him were a little light in
color, and pair of a darker shade
were procured. ''You never saw a
cooler man." said Captain Edgar.
On the gallows Durrant gave such an
exhibition of nerve and GOODNESS as has
seldom been seen under similar cir
cumstances Hopeful almost to tho
very last minute that something or
someone would intervene to save him,
he walked to the scaffold protesting
his innocence. His face was pale, his
eyes were red, but his voice was firm,
and he stood as solidly as rock w..ile
he proclaimed his innocence and pro-
fessed forgiveness for those who. he
said, had bounded him to death.
There was not hitch or accident to
mar the plans. The neck was broken
by the fall of five feet and fifteen
minutes later the murderer's body was
cut down and placed in the coffin.

The employees of the treasury depart
ment at Washington are given thirty
days vacation each year with full pay.
They are also allowed, in case of sick
ness, an additional leave of thirty days
with pay continued and Secretary Gage
has just discovered that two-thirds of
the employees were afflicted with sick
ness for thirty days during the fiscal
year. They were paid for twelve
months work and performed ten
months work, and now the secretary
will ask that congress remedy this
abuse of the sick-leave privilege by re-
quiring clerks to present evidences of
sickness and physicians certificate
and that it shall appear that the sick
ness was occasioned by their official
service. Otherwise they must lose pay
while absent on account of sickness.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-CharleS Page
Bryan will be minister to Brazil.
Minister Conger has consented to go to
China, thus leaving the Brazilian post
at the disposal of the president. A
week ago, after Mr.. Newell had re-
fused to leave his comfortable place at
The Hague for the greater response
bility and salary of the Chinese post,
the place was proffered to Minister
Angell The latter did not outright
refuse to accept, but his friends all
protested against his being sent away
from Turkey. They claimed to with
draw him at the very moment when he
was vigorously pushing American
claims against the Turkish government
would in the highest degree prove pre-
judicial to the claims, as the Turks
would believe that his work had been
disavowed. The president then COM
municated with Minister Conger at
Rio Janeiro and the latter consented tC
take the Chinese post. The president
will therefore appoint Mr.. Bryan to
the post at Rio Janeiro, and Mr. Conger
will at once return to America and
prepare for his trip to China.

Berkenbine, the drainage area of the
Mississippi river is 1,250,000 square
miles, including nearly all of the coun-
try from the Alleghenies to the Rock
les and from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico. In his communication to the
Engineers Club Mr.. Berkenbine esti-
mates that one inch of rainfall evenly
distributed over this area would equal
81, $50 600 100000 gallons of water. If
the average rainfall for the entire
area amounts to twenty inches 1t
would equal 535, 900, 100000 900 gallons
of water, or If the average rainfall
should be twenty-three inches it
would equal 1,6O6, SO0,O0O,OO0,OO0 gal
Ions of water. The river has an aver
age flow of $4,000 cubic feet per Sec
ond, or 31,6S0,00O gallons per minute,

Thomas Ariss, has been indicted on
two charges-one of murder in the
first degree for the killing of Kahler,
