DuRRANT is HANGED AT LAST.

San Quentin prison at 1925 a. IN. yes
terday in the presence of $50 persons OF
whom his father was one. An at
tendant and active worker of the Bap-
tist church when he murdered Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams, just be-
fore his execution he changed his
religion and was received into the
Roman Catholic church. He made a
rather rambling speech on the gallows.
the burden OF which was that he was
innocent. and Il am innocent" were
the last words he said.
Having received extreme JUNCTION Just
before ne uttered these words he died
either innocent or an awful liar aid

He lured two girls into Emanuel Bap-

at least one OF them and brutally mur-
dered them both At any rate that was
what he was hanged for. This was in
1894. and IL has taken three years to
hang him. But the people OF California
feel relieved because the event proves
that they can hang thugs in this state

his lawyers was exhausted to save his

the Alma coal mine has precipitated
another strike there. Carson was oustej

SILVER MEN NOT IN A CONSPIRACY
Teller Denies "a Newspaper Statement and
Wants Vigorous Foreign Policy.


Washington. Jan s.-The feature of
the senate session was a speech deliv-
cred by Teller regarding press reports
that the recent efforts to make il ap-
pear that Secretary Gage had rendered
his resignation as a member of the cab
met TO President Mckinley were a part
of a conspiracy OF the silver men to
disrupt the cabinet and create dissen-
sion between the president and his ad-
visers. 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 ques-
ton. He attacked the Republican par
ty because ii was a party advocating
the gold standard, and expressed his
intention Of doing all in his power to de-
feat the party in 1900 and TO drag the
present administration from power, be-
cause the policy of the party was, in his
opinion, inimical 10 the best and high
est interests of the people OF the United
States.
He referred in terms Of high respect
to Secretary Gage personally, and ex-
pressed his qualification that Gage had
willing to stand squarely upon his opin-
ions. The secretary was, in the opinion
of Teller, an exception in this respect TO
many other prominent Republicans.

DEFENSE OF TAMMANY
Made in the House by Cummings
OF New York in the Civil
Service Debate.
REFLECTS ON OHIO AND INDIANA,

Referring to Some New and Old Political
History - Or ,tes Roscoe Conkiing's
"snivel servi. \ Reform" and says the
New system Is Doomed-Telier In the
Senate DiscIaims Motives Given Him by
aNewspaper Article.
Washington, Jan. S.-The civil service
debate continued throughout yesterday
for it's termination failed, and IL is GER
tain now to run over into next week.
The interest in the discussion does not
seem TO be waning. The debate yester-
day was noted for some very vigorous
declarations of opposition To the whole
scheme OF reform, notably that of Cum
mings OF New York. Faris of Indiana
was one of the speakers in opposition
snd Gillette of Massachusetts, favored
the law. The latter maintained that
the arguments of Gtosvenor and Lands
against the law were both in reality
strong arraignment Of the spoils sys-
tenn. He denied that the scope of the
executive order of May 6, 1896 was not
understood when the st. Louis plat
form was adopted. He commented wit
tily on the spectacle of the white
haired veteran. Grosvenor, leading the
young Hotspurs of the party in the
battle for the spoils. and said ii recalled
TO his mind the words Macauey placed
in the mouth of Henry Of Navarro at
the battle of Ivry.
Cummings Pays His Respects to Grosvenor.
Cummings of New York announced
himself an implacable foe of the whole
system of civil service reform. Roscoe
Conkling. in his opinion the greatest
senator New York had ever known, had
once spoken of the 'dreary drive of
snivel service reform" He had never
appreciated il so much as he had dur
ing this days debate. Cummings said
the hostility to the system had been
steadily growing. The system is
doomed" sa. IA he, land one of the fac
tors in its destruction is Tammany

replied warmly to some of the charges
of corruption made against TammaEy
hall during the debate. The gentle

Johnson of Indiana had said that
Tammany hall was the most corrupt
organization on the face of the earth
and Johnson came from the state made
famous by blocks of five" methods.
Tammany was. Cummings said. a
patriotic, liberty-loving society which
had existed for 100 years.
Burton of Ohio followed i'm defense of
the merit system and in the course of
his remarks paid high tribute to Sec
retary Sherman and the late President
Hayes whose records had been assailed
by Cummings.
Bartholdt took occasion to defend
Carl Schurz from what he termed the
ISLANDERS heaped upon that gentleman
by Grosvenor The intmation that
there was a stain upon his personal
honor was an insult to the German
Americans, whose confidence Schurz
had retained for years.

National Eight-Hour Law Demanded.
Boston. Jan. THE National Loom
fixers association conference Yesterday
adopted a resolution calling for a ma
tional eight-hour law and indorsing
Representative Coverings bill calling
for uniform hours of labor in all
states of this country. 1t was declared
by the delegates that competition is de-
stroying capital; also destroying the
laborers by overwork: that the lower
ing Of wages through competition brings
on starvation. thus creating a fruitful
field for disease. and that the competi-
tive system is destroying more wage
earners each year than were killed dur
ing the civil war. Ii was resolved that
all industries should be placed in the
hands of the national government. A
resolution was adopted calling for a ma
tional referendum law.
Weavers Also Will Strike.
New Bedford, Mass, Jan. THE spe-
cial general meeting of the Weavers'

strike. Notwithstanding that the vote
was informal ii was generally under
stood that ii is the sentiment of prac-
tically all the weavers of the city. The

Washington. Jan. S.-The legislative
committee OF the American Federation
of Labor, consisting of President Com.

Furuseth by direction of the late con.
vention Of the federation held in Nash
Vile, has issued an address to the mem.
bers of the Fifty-fifth congress. After
calling attention To the introduction OF
modern machinery, and new business
methods and the competion of convict
labor etc, they recommend as follows.
Il. An eight-hour work day on all
public works, such law to provide tha:

sumption of Operations.
Pittsburg, Jan. 7.-President Simon
Burns, of the Window Glass Workers
association, and Charles Altman, the
discharged blower of Phillips e. Co,
may prove combination that will
block the resumption Of operations in
the glass factories. The president
threatens TO stop operations at the
Phillips factory unless Altman is taken
back, claiming that the firm broke its
contract with the association by refus-
ing Altman his old position. Altman is
a blower who, il is claimed. contracted
to work fo~ Cunningham & Co., but
when informed by the executive COM
mittee that he would have TO return to
the job he had before the lockout he
applied to the other factory and was
refused.
The argument of the firm Is that as
Altman had arranged to work for the
Cunningham factory he had no further
claim against them and his place was
filled by another. The manufacturers
held a meeting yesterday to consider
the case. and from the testimony pre-
sented to them consider President
Burns action arbitrary. Should the
Burns threat be carried out, and Phil
manufacturers think the other factories
should delay operations until the trou-
bic has beer adjusted.
