Hun lauclsoo, Hpt 13. The triiil
of Theodore Durraut ii becoming inure
interesting. The district attorney ban
proved the death of Blanche Laniout,
aud hau established that the body
found ill the belfry of Kiuuuuol church

in the rafter of the edllioe wai worn
by the girl on tlie day ho disappeared.
The prosocutlou ii now putiiiK iu evi

crime. The wituessc for the people
will be called in chronological order,
the intention being to form a chain,
the link of which will be Umtiuioiiy
showing the niovemeuU of the murder

The district attorney tried by vari
ou pretext to ascertain the weight of
Blanche Luuiont at the time of her
death, the object being to Dhow that
he wan not too heavy to le carried by
cue man up into Die buliry. All quo
linua looking for thin Information were
objected to by the defense ax hearsay,
mid overruled. Finally, however,
when Maud Ijtiuont, iter of the mur
dered girl, wa on the atand, the fact
wa elicited that lust September
Blunche wa weighed, and her weight
found to be 121 pound. ThU wai a
Kjlnt for the prosecution. The autopsy
aurguou had testified oil oross-oxainina-tiuu
that although the oorixte had not
been weighed, he considered the weight
to be about 140 pouuda.
The pnmecution will now show that
the lurguou viewed tlie oorpHe after the
girl had been dead ten daya, and that
with mortification the corpse had be
come swollen ao aa to apiM'itr heavier
than wa actually the ease. The do

The II rut witness today waa Mra.

The witness auid the only oocnalou

"After lllauohe disappeared, Dur

" 'lilauche waa such a good girl.
She believed eveiybody else waa aa

She aaid she bad exchanged with
Blanche, each wearing the other'

Sookaiie. Wash.. Sept 12. The
oontest for the estate of old John Wy
ant, who wa murdered near Spangle,
thi county, three year ago, ha de
veloped one of the most puzzling mys
teries in the history of the West
Johu aud Joseph Wyaut were Vir
ginia boy, who camo West many
vear ago. Joseph settled iu Iowa,
married aud brought up a family of
twelve children. Johu weut to Mi
souri and the question of bia marriage
is uow in dispute.
Several year ago Johu came to
Washington and took up a tine lurm
near Spokane. There he lived alone
uutil the night of hi murder aud the
attempt of the murderer to destroy the
evidence of hi crime by firing the
bouse. A young man who claim to
bo tlie sou of the murdered uiau i
here, claiming the property aud the
case is uow before Judge Moore of the
uuerlor court
The young man' story in that when
hi futher came to Washington he left
him with hi Uncle Joseph iu Iowa;
that he grew up there and waa thought
to be Joseph' ton, by others hi
nephew. Six year ago he ran away
aud came to tlie Pacific JNortnwest.
Later Joseph Wyaut, a a result of
family difllcnltioa, also came to this
section. He visited hi brother grave,
thou drifted into the Northern mining
country.
At Kaslo be found tho runaway
boy, advised him thitt.be wua the son
of John Wyaut and that au estate
awaited him iu this oouuty. He camo
hero, fell Into dissipated ways, waa ur
rested while drunk for breaking into
a suloou, gave uuothcr uume aud serv
ed out a short sentence iu juil. While
iu prison be was recognized by a young
man named Metcalf, a former school
mate. In the trial of the cuae, Metculf
and bis half-brotlior testified that they
went to school with Wyaut and that
he will kuowu a a nephew of Joseph
Wyaut
A great many dcpositioiiH have bucu
received from Nebraska and irgiuiu,
but they deepen the mysttry. Some
are ure Fred Wyaut is the Hon of Jo-
soph; others are equally positive that
he i the sou of John and therefore en
titled to the ostuto.
The wife of Joseph say ho i uot her
son, but her oldest sou Wurreu sends
his deposition from Virginia, aud say
that Fred is hi brother as he remoin
bers wheu he wua bom. He also at'
tnclies a purported letter from his
mother, saying she hud sent Fred out
here to secure the estate. Other mem
bers of Joseph Wyaut' family aro sure
Fred is uot their brother. Some uf the
neighbors are quite positive that Johu
Wyaut wa uever married; other ure
equally positive that he wua. A tie
oisiou is not expocted for some time.

sidered it a question of international
law to be solved by the authorities at

company could uot be held responsible
for the surrender, no forcigu power
hud any right to go upon a veaael fly
ing tho American flag and take uwuy
any ponton for a political otTcuse with
out that persou'a consent Wheu a
person is ou shipboard under tho Amer

ican soil. Foote continued:
"Tho proper course i through dip
lomacy. It would be the buttiuctts of
tlie Atiioricuu minister at San Salvador
to stay uuy extvution of tho prisoner
llustameiite uutil the Uuitod States
government could investigate the mat

ruutlia was taken from au Americau
ship and shot, and Minister Mixticr
did not interfere to protect him."
General Antonio Kneta is little con
cerned about the fate of llustameiite.
Facta docs uot think that Uuatamouto
will be harshly treated, bccaittto of his
former friendship with Ouitorrcx, but
even if "the monkey," a the captured

uot think it will matter much after all.

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION.
Tba Claim Hastened by Kngland's

New York, Bept 12. Further par
ticular of the latest movement for
Ceutral American Union have been ob
tained from Honor Joae de Uomei, the
Nicaraguan itatesman, who, a the
special minister from the presideut of
Nicaragua to the Central American
states, conducted the preliminary nego
tiation which lead to the understand
ing now arrived at Honor Gome ar
rived iu New York several day ago.
From bore he will go to Washington
iu a few day to pay hi reajiect to
the Nicaraguan minister. He say
that be ia iu the United State solely
on private business. In au iuterview
he said:
"The confederated arrangement to
which Nicaragua, Salvador aud Hon
duras have just committed themselves,
aud which it is hoped Ouatemula aud
Costa Kica will also assent to," said
Honor Homes, "1 primarily iu the in
terest of niaiutaiuing peace throughout
Central America, and promoting civili
zation and progress iu the fivo repub
lic. Tbe substantial aud intelligent
citizen iu all these countries are
heurtily sick of revolution, which
have been so frequent in the past aud

"Hut what hastened the agreement
for union aud wa probably the deter
mining factor iu bringing it to pus at
this time wa the arbitrary action of
England iu the Corinto uffuir several
months ago. That wa a striking oh
joct lesson of the woakuess of the Cen
tral American state wheu confronted
by foreign uggressiou; aud the union
for defense which we ore now inaugur
ating is the direct outgrowth of it.
Last year I wa scut by tho president
of Nicaragua a a special minister to
the Central American republic to pre
sent to their governments propositions
in behalf of a treaty of union. I re
ceived fair encouragement, but before
my mission was completed, the events
growing out of England's claim ou
Nicurugua transpired, aud I was um
moucd liome. Presiileut Zeluya there
upon decided that the time was ripe for
immediate action, and without wait
ing for the result of my negotiations
to devloie in the ordinary course, he is
sued uu invitation to all the Central
American presidents to moot at Amal

Uonilla, presideut of Honduras, and
General (luitorres, president of Salva

presidents accordingly met iu confer
ence at Amalpa in July. The result
of their deliberations was the treaty,

Baltimore, Sept II. Kev. Father
Zeenu llaruum, who ha recently re
turned from the interior of Alaska,
where he spent four years iu missionary
work umoug the natives, gave to the
Ualtimore Suu au iuterview relating to
the boundary dispute between the
United States and (heat Britain.
"The claim made by the British gov
ernment at the iiiMtuucoof Cauadiiius,"
said he, "embraces a valuable strip of
laud, a portion of which is the key, to
u vast extent, to the interior of Alaska,
ami which possesses rich mineral re
sources. Another portiou would give
them control of fine natural harbors,
uud iu a third place they would give
one of the most magiiiticeut scenic
regions of the world, Glacier buy,
which is uow beginning to bo visited
by thousands of tourists from all over
the world during the summer mouths.
"Although the immense value of
thi laud cannot lie accurately deter
mined, a knowledge of it geographical
position on the coast show that great
commercial advantages should accrue
in the future from its possession by
this country. It is a long, narrow
slice running the whole length of the
uurrow circular district of Alaska that
i nearest this country. It i most
temperate iu climate, and the only
port of the territory thut i settled by
auy cousidcrublo uumbcr of white men.
"One important effect of Groat lint-
aiu'a claims, if they should bo al
lowed, would be that Great Ilntum
would have control of the route which
is the key to the gold field ou the
uorthwest corner of Alaska. These
fields pan out about f 100,000 each
year, but it ha been stated there are
rich prospect there yet uuworkod, as
well us other mineral resources which,
wheu they become well kuowu, will
likely cause considerable immigration
there."
