DURRANT's NEW HOPE
Pressure TO Procure a Reprteve Pend
Ing Federal Court Action.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. s. 1898. Theodore
Durrant has renewed his hope Of escaping the
gallows, since the Federal Judges have taken
his latest petition for writ Of habeas cor
nus under adyisement. He seems to have
shaken Off the despondency that was fast
bringing him to state of nervous collapse.
strong pressure is being exerted to induce
Governor Budd to either commute the sentence
or giant a repreve.
Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme Court
who dissented from the decisions Of his coll
leagues against Durrant, visited the Governor
Yesterday, but the result Of the conference is
not known Scientific men who are interested
"a the pathological features of Durrants case
are grievously disappointed at the prospect
that no autopsy will be allowed on the re-
mains.
The fact that Durrant having been well adj
vanced as a medical student should have made
positive request that no examination be
made Of his face or head after death is com
n1ented on as significant It seems that no
measurements OF Durrant's head have been
made.

PORTSMOUTH,, N. H.. Jan. 4, 1s9S.-It is
understood ashore here, that the United States
training ship Alliance had, to say the
least a somewhat hazardous passage from
Tompknsville S. H. to Portsmouth The AL
lance anchored off Gay Head Light, in Vine
yard sound, on January l. for the night, be-
cause of high winds and heavy seas, to-
gether with the shoal locality. The greatest
danger, however, it appears, was In the fact
that one of the boilers of the. Alliance began
leaking badly. and another became unfit for
use because, without warning, its crown
shut & collapsed.
The Alliance left Staten Island on Decem-
ber 80 at 1880 P. NJ, and arrived here today
