MAY GO TO THE JURY NEXT WEEK fteaeral Impression In That the I'eople'a Cane line lleen Ureatly Strength ened by III Frienda. Bun Francisco, Oct. 23. The defense in the Durrant trial practically closed today. Possibly, another witness will be examined tomorrow, bat his testi mony will be brief, if tuken at all, and then the prosecution will begin the pro duction of testimony in rebuttal. Al though gome of the most important evi dence on the part of the prosecution is yet to be submitted, from the present outlook the case will go to the jury at the close of next week. Now that the attorneys for Durrant have practically closed their case, the impression prevails that the defense has materially strengthened the case of the. prosecution. It is the opinion of those who have watched the trial that the defense has failed to establish a Bingle fact which Attorney Deuprey in his opening statement said he would do. Although it was aunounoed that an alibi would be proven for the prisoner, not a witness has been called to swear that Durrant was elsewhere than at Emanuel church on the afternoon that Blanche Lamont was murdered.

Hot Springs, Oat. 23. Unless Fitz simmons recuuts and through his man ager, Martin Julian, accepts the extra ordinary conditions which confront the situation, there will 1m no contest between Corbott and Fitzsimmons, un less it be an impromptu one, short of purse offerings or ring rules or referee or seconds, for Corbott says that un less Fitzsimmons acts the man and ac commodates himself to circumstances, he will "send him to the hospital" the first time he meets him, and ho will go quite a way 'out of his scheduled theatrical route to meet the attenuated Australian. Today there was a conference be tween Dan Stuart, Joe Veudig and the fighters, the latter by proxies, Brady representing Corbett, and Julian Fitz simmons. Tomorrow the ruling of Chancellor Leatherman is to be taken before the supreme court by the attornoy-Keneral. ' Htlri f.h tribunal nf luaf. unnnul muw consume several days in handing down a final hearing. In view of this fact' and anticipating a favorable decision Dan Stuart called the parties interested together, and stated the conditions. Stuart wanted a postponement until November 15. He argued that, even if the court of final resort sustained the decision of the chaneellor, it would take that long to restore confidence and get the crowd to Hot Springs. Brady, lor uorbett, was willing. Julian was not. Despite the fact that Corbett went inot training a week before his prospective oppponent, Julian contend ed that his man was too "fine," and that to train for several days after the original time would militate against the condition of Fitzsimmons. The proposition was then made to have the men fight in private for the main stake, $10,000 a side. Here Stuart interjected an offer of an added $5,000. Brady was again willing, but Julian demurred. He opined that Oo EXTENT OF DROUTH NO LAW AGAINST IT. Most Prolonged Since the Bu reau's Organization, EXCEPT WEST AND SOUTHWEST When Exceptional Precipitation llaa Been He ported, It llaa Heeu Con fined to Very Hniall Areaa. in company with Miss Lamont. The latest attempt of this kind was made this afternoon, when Dr. G. C. MnDonuld was called to the stand to give export testimony on the hallucina tions of eldorly womon. Attorney Dickinson asked the doctor if it was not a fact recognized by the medical profession that in time of great excite ment over an extraordinary crime -ldorly women often became impressed -with the delusion that they had per sonal knowledge of the exiBtenoe of al ' - legod facts. An objection to the ques tion was sustained in its first form, as the court said it had not been shown that the witness was competent to give expert testimony on the subject After a proper foundation for the question had been laid, the objection was over ruled. The witness said that under uoh circumstances people often be ante possessed of various delusions, but denied that elderly women were tober 81, would have to make good its full promise of $41,000. In the face of entanglements which have beset the path of Stuart and Vendig, this cannot be done. Where a month ago hundreds of excursion parties were being organ ized for the trip to the fight, there are none today. Stuart asked for time, Corbett has granted it, while Fitzsim mons has exacted his full pound of flesh. IT IS FAR-REACHING. The Decision Applying to All titles In Washington. Olympia, Wash., Oct. 23. The de cision of the supreme court, filed to day, in the case of the city of Spo kane, appellant, vs. W. W. Stevens, et al., respondents, is one of far-reaching effect in the state. This was an action brought by the oity to foreclose a lien created by an assessment for street Jl' A J . i i irrMfiuiir.

Mrs. Vogel said she saw Durrant standing in front of the normal school for an hour, waiting for Blanche Lamont, nnd that when she came out he boarded a car with her and rode away in the direction of the church. A long deposition from Charles G. Clark, a traveling sulesman who re aides in this oity, but who is now in Boston, was read. The defense ex pected to prove by Clark that he had seen Miss Lamont the ufternoon of April 3 accompanied by a man other j than Durrant Clark said that he law. The court says: "The time for the commencement of actions is provided for in the code of procedure of sections 1 1 1 to 1 20.

Special Treasury Agent Ayer was recently in structed to ascertain and report upou the condition of the tin-plate industry in the United States. - Ho has just sub mitted his report to the department The report covers the operations of the lineal year ended June 30, 1895. The facts presented show a marked increase in the number of mills for rolling the steel sheets, or "back plates," which form the body of commercial tin. The largely increased consumption of the steel sheets from American rolling mills iudicates not only the accelerated growth of this branch of the industry, but an actual perferouoe for American rolled sheets. During the year the production in the United States was 193,801,03 pounds, an increase of 30 per cent over the previous year. Forty eight firms were producing, during the quarter ended June 30, 1895, against forty the previous year. Twenty-eight rolling mills were producing black plates during the quarter, against twenty during the same quarter in 1894. Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. London. Oct 23.

The health de partment today declared both diphtheria and typhoid fever epidemic in Chicago. The department reported 330 new cases of diphtheria last week, 49 4-10 per cent of which were fatal. The epi demics are charged to impure water, The health commissioner has issued a warning against drinking unboiled water. wasmngton, ucc. m. reports re oeived at the weather bureau indicate that the present drouth is one of the soverest, most prolongod and most gen erally known in the United States since the bureau's organization. There are a few places which show an ex ceptiou to the general rule, but; in most of the country, unless perhaps the West and southwest, there does not appear to have been a heavy rain for the past two months or more. Where there has been exceptional precipita tion, it has been oonfined to small areas. In lomo parts of the country the drouth began in the latter part of July, but in most sections it did not become markedly pronounced until in August The entire Atlantic coast, with few exeoptions, suoh as Charleston, S. C, and Augusta, Ga., shows a deflci enoy rjeiow tne normal rainiaii since the first of August, amounting in some instances to almost half the average precipitation. The Ohio and Missis sippi valleys reported similar coudi tions, as has a part of the Paoiflo coast. The lake region has fared better than other sections east of Mississippi. In parts of the Rocky mountains, as in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada, there have been excessive rains during this period, ' and along the Paoiflo coast, from San Francisco to Olympia, there were good rains in September, as there have beon in plaoos since in that sec tion. ine greatest complaints come from West Virginia, Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania. Fortunately, in some parts of the country the drouth did not set in until after the principal crops were matured, consequently the effect has not been so disastrous as if it begun earlier. In some places it has hud a slight effect on the planting of winter wheat, and complaints come from many quarters of the inconvenience of securing water for domestic and stock purposes, many small streams, stock ponds, springs and wells having become dry. Pastures have been injured in many .states. It is also noticeable that there has been an increase of typhoid fever over the normal in many sections where drouth is severe. No Nays Judge I.ealhernian In Ihe Prlie light Caae. Hot Springs, Ark., Oct 22. The Corbett habeas corpus terminated just us everybody in Hot Springs thought it would. Uoveruor Clarke was appar ently the first to discover that there was no statutory prohibition to prize fighting or glove contests; that the act of J 811 1 had not passed the house as amended by the senate; that instead of the bill as amended passing, as cousti tntiouully provided, by roll-call, it simply passed by a viva voce vote, hence was not legally passed. The decision of Chuuoellor Leathor mun this afternoon was in accordance with tho views expressed by Governor Clarke, and as shown by the house rec ords. Ihe proof produced demonstrated the fact that a glove contest was to be fonght a limited number of rounds here, October 81, between Corbett and Fitzsimmons, and that five-ounce gloves were to be used. By the num bor of experts put on the Btand it was proved that soft-glove contests are not brutal affairs, and are never attended with any serious or harmful results when engaged in by trained athletes. It is sometimes the case that amateur boxers or unskilled men injure each other in glove contests, but never had suoh a thing occurred, in the knowl edge of the witnesses, when engaged in by skilled boxers, such as Corbett und Fitzsimmons. A MUDDLE IN 'FRISCO. Attorney Knight, of the Hoard of Health, Itefuaea to Step Out. San Francisco, Oot 22. When Gov- ernorBudd appointed Dennis Spencer attorney for the board of health, Spen cer and his friends wre glad, but Geo. A. Knight refused to give up the office, and has since been drawing the salary of $3,000 a year. Spencer, through his attorneys, applied to the attorney-general for permission to sue in the peo ple's name to oust Knight. A reply has been reoeived from the attorney. general stating that in his opinion the act of the legislature amending section 32 of the political code is to abolish the office. The attorney-general savs: "While the language of this act is not as explicit as it might have been, still it is sufficiently clear to show that such was the intention of the leg islature. Your purpose, as suggested in your letter, of applying to the gov ernor for such leave in case of my re fusal to grant the permission, is entire ly agreeable to me. Should the gover nor, as the law empowers him to do, direct me to give suoh leave, I will, of course, do so." Spencer's attorneys have made the necessary demand of Governor Bndd, and expect that he will give them the right to sue. NORTH PACIFIC NEWS Happenings of Interest in the Progressive Northwest.

Port Townsend, Wash., Oot 22. Further evidences of an active volcano in the Olympic mountains have been received, and serve to confirm the re port of Professor Alexander, of the Smithsonian institute. Two young men of this oity, Ben Pettygrove and Charles Sally, are just from the Olyrn pic mountains, where they were bunt ing elk, and report that, alter experi encing a series of slight earthquake shocks, covering a period of two weeks, flames and huge volumes of smoke were observed ascending from one of the smaller peaks. Flames would shoot spasmodically up for a few hundred feet and then dense volumes of black smoke would belch forth, winding up into the clear sky. These operations were repeated every ten minutes. Pet tygrove und Sully hurried back to town for a fresh supply of provisions, and will make an effort to locate the sup posed volcano. South of Port Town- send lust night the sky was clear, and volcunio phenomena were witnessed by dozens of people, who describe the eruptions of smoke in the same man ner as the two elkhunters. Many nav igators on the lower sound and straits caw the strange Blunt, and all be lieve it to be a small volcano. Four New World's Kecords. Denver, Oct. 22.

Louisville, Oct. 23. John S. John- sou today proved that he has not lost any of his ability to lower records, and had there not been a slight derange ment to one of the quads pacing him the track record for a mile, with flying start, paced, would probably have been hovering around 1:42. As it was, he lowered it to 1:44 1-5, beating Pete Berlo's professional record of 1:40 4-5 by two and three-fifth seconds. Iu the class B trials, Otto Zeigler was the bright particular star. He lowered the paced two mile, standing start, record of 4:01, made here last year by Johuson, to 3:51, actually clipping off ten seconds. Defalcation Cauaed the Failure.

Washington, Oct. 22. Senator Chan dler, of New Hampshire, has written additional letters to the president und to the interstate commerce commission, urging immediate action to prevent the execution of the newly formed railroad trunk line agreement, by the presidents of nine roads running from the sea board to the West. He asserts thut the agreement is a gigantic trust, and plainly contrary to law. He vigor- usly attacks Interstate Commerce Com missioner Knapp for a statement that the matter was not one of which tho commission could take cognizance, and says he should be removed. His letter to the president closes by saying a word from him to J. Pierpont Morgan would cause the whole conspiracy to stop. The Official Figures. Washington, Oct 22.

THE WAY TRADE GOES. Seasonable Attention Paid to the Nat ural Condltlnna- New York, Oct 21. R. G. Dun Ss Co. 'b Weekly Roview of Trade says: The events of the week are promis ing in general, though to speculative markets they are not encouraging. The great advance in cotton has arrested exports, and so deranged exchange that shipments of gold were, for a time, ap prehended, bnt the break in the market indicates that the natural movement of tho product may soon be restored. The halting of the demand and moderate yielding of prices in the great indus trial markots show that a season of reasonable attention to natural condi tions has arrived. The cotton market has boen partially comored for early delivery by New Or leans operators, as it has been twice in not distant years by Liverpool specu lators. Spinners here and abroad, with much unanimity, refrain from buying largely ut current quotations. Until the price recedes far enonirh to- bring out a liberal supply of ootton bills, there is a possibility of gold ex ports, for other merchandise exports are small from New York, for the two weeks being JO per cent less than last year, with imports in the two weeks of October about 29 per cent larger than last year. In Septomber, imports were 54.3 and for nine months 53.8 per cent larger thun lust year. Wheat does not bo out freely, and the attempt to advance orices was fol lowed by an immediate deoline. The Atlantic exports, flour included, have been in the past three weeks 4.658.465. against 7,248,1 11 last year, and the big shipments from Russia and of late from Argentina show that the world is not obliged to pay Atlantio prices for American wheat Western reoeints for the week were remarkably larue.. 7,733,000 bushels, and for the three- weeks, 21,638,977, uguinst 14,017,281 last year. The rush of wheat to ' mar ket and the largest outout of flour ever- known at Minneapolis, are not evi dences of a shortage in the yield, bnt the price has changed only one-eihth cent for the week. Corn is stronger, without clear rea son, for. while exports for the three weeks were 826,840 bushels, against 230,703 last year, but an insignifioant fraction of "the great yield can have been disposed of. A Shortage of Sliver. New York, Oot. 23. The best au thorities on silver look for a steady im proving demand for the metal for some time to eome. The willingness of Ja pan to eceept the indemnity from China in silver contributed largely to the imprjvemeut in its price, which has been noted during the past few months, and the accumulation of the metul in London in order to complete the installments on the indemnity at var ious duies of payment. Both China, and Japan are showing increased in quiry for silver, as large amounts of the metal distributed by both countries in payment for war material and mip pies have been diverted to India and other silver countries. Mr. Townsend, of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation, states that silver ordered two months ago bus just been delivered. The output of the silver smelters are said to be sold ahead for two months. He expressed the belief that any accumulation of silver at London has already found employment T. P.
