of the Durrant case was resumed this
morning:. Out of 125 venire men sum'
moned only 22 appeared, and out of
this number no new jurors were ob
tained.
Although he occupied a seat on the
banch. Judge Murphy is still sick with
Lt p-riDDe.
After the noon recess the case will
be adjourned until Monday.
A local paper saysi
'The last link in the chain of evi
dence against Theodore Durrant has
been discovered, A woman who lives
a :ros9 tbe street from Emanuel church
has reported to the police that she saw
Durrant and Blanche Lamont enter
tiie church at 10 minutes past 4 on
April 3, the day of Miss Laajont'g
Mrs. leane, ana sne lives ao izi oarc-
lett street. She is 70 years old, and
has been a member of tho oliuuan tor
several years. She knew both Durrant
and Misa Lamont intimatejy.anq tner
fore cannot be mistaken with regard
to the identity of either. She says
she has remained silent since the dis
covery pf the bodies of the two girls
Because sne am noi wisn to wnaergo
the annoyance of being: a witness, and
did not consent to 'divulge her infor
mation to the police until she became
convinced that it was a duty she owed
to her state.
''April 3 Mrs. Leake sat at the win
dow of her residence neavly all the
axternoon looting for ner daughter
whom she expected from San Mateo.
At 4 o clock she saw a couple coming
up the street, one of whom she recg
nized as Durrant, but at first was
p izzled oyer the identity of the girl,
Sae first thought the young lady was
Lucille Turner, but as tbe couple
came nearer Mrs, xeaice recognizea
the girl as Blanche Lamont. Miss
Lamont wore a school girl's short
dress and carried a package of school
books. The dress and school doors
were afterward found secreted in the
church. When the couple reached
the church gate they stopped for a
moment, Durrant opened tbe gate and
they passed through, Mrs. Leake
from . her point of observation was
watching them, and when the girl
stepped through the gate she said to
herself: 'What an imprudent thing
for her to do.' "

The British Flag Fired pq In British
Waters.
New York, Aug. 16. Advices from
Barbadoes, under date of July 29, state
that breaches of international law,
like filibustering expeditions, seem to
be on tbe increase in tne (Jariooean
sea. ine latest, as wen as tne one
most likely to attract considerable at
tention, is the " firing upon a British
schooner in British waters by a Vene
zuelan gunboat. The schooner Ellen,
which is owned and sailed oy uaptain
Truxillo, a Britisher, apd registered
at Trinidad, passed under the muszle
of a Venezuelan gunboat, and though
the captain sent the Ungasb Bag to his
inizzenmast. head the Venezuelans
simply ignored it and continued their
vessel in several places, ana aecuneo
to cease flring until the British vessel
aad, been hp?e tq anq allpwed the
Venezuelan cruiser to cpine alongside.
Captain Truxillo reported as aDove
m the harbormaster at Port au Spain,
lie was asked to make a sworn declara
tion of the facts as stated, which, he
immediately did. The captain ex?
plains that he was on a voyage out
trom Trinidad to the Venezuelan port
of Mautrin, and when within two
miles of Trinidad a Venezuelan coast
guard cruiser fired a shot at his vessel.
The British ensign was sent up on the
mizzenmasthead, but no notice was
taken of it. He kept the vessel on its
course, believing it, wquld be all right.
wnen tne Venezuelan sent a snot
hrouerh the schooner's sails. The
passengers and crew threw themselves
upon the deck to escape the shot which
ivaa raldnir the vessel. He was com
pelled to heave to and the Venezuelan
ame alongside, waptaiu 4ruuiu,
passengers ana crew were iorcea to
enter a small boat, and were kept there
for nearly four hours, when they were
released. In the meantime the Vene
zuelans had searched the ship, but
finding nothing to take in her, she
was allowed to continue the voyage.
The Trinidad government has re
ported tbe matter to the colonial officer
at London, and the putepme J anx

The Battle at Bio Bamba.
New YORKr Aug. 16. The HeraWs
correspondent at Guayaquil, Ecuador,'
sends word that he has just received
news of a battle which was fought near
Rio Bamba between the forces of Al
farp and apastl, f b& former achieved
a decisive victory, and Colonel Medaro
Alfaro took prisoner Colonel Liaburn,
General Sarasti's chief of staff. It is
belieyed that the loss must have been
heavy, as fcOiK) men were engaged on
both sides. It is known, however, that
General -Alfaro's soldiers took 1000
prisoners, including several olficers,
and that General Sarasti's force was
reduced to 400 men as a result of the
engagement. - - '
AN INDIAN RAN AMUCK.
TWO Squaws Were Fatally Shot Before'
He Wa Canghf, '
. Vancouver, B, C Aug. 16. A
Chemanius Indian, Jimmy Page, ran
amuck at Wellington camp this morn
ing, and as a result, two Indian women
were fatally shot, and death is expect
ed momentarily. -The-Indians had
all been drinkingJor several days, and
several quarrels had .been stopped
previously. .About 6 o'clock this
morning Jimmy appeared in an open
apace between the cannery and the
ranch house with a Winchester rifle,
and opened fire without warning. He
first shot a dog, and the next bullet
struck a middle-aged squaw, named
Mary, in the stomach, the ball passing
right through her body. The next
bullet struck another squaw, named
Agnes in the head. Jimmie fired
several other shots, but by this time
the Indians had secured 'safe hiding
places. He then went to a neighboring
field and took a position, defying all
to approach him. When the police
arrived on the scene Jimmie crossed
the river to Westham island, where he
was eventually captured by Sheriff
Armstrong, who took him to West
minister and lodged him in jail,

A CHINESE VERSION.
The Minister to England Talks of the
Recent lots,
New York. Auar. 17. A oorresnon
dent of the Herald, at London, has in?
teryiewed His Excellency Kung Tjen,
the Cbineee minister to the oourts of
London, Brussels, Par-Is and Rome, In
referring to the massaore of the mis
sionaries, his excellency declared they
were on this, as on other occasions.
mainly1 the work of ruffians, who had
availed themselves of the exceptional
circumstances in order to work rniji
chief arijfi loot property in the epnfusiQn
for instance, at Vhens tu, same
boys had thrown stones at the mis
sionaries and when remonstrated with,
had .persisted The missionary in
question laid hold of one of the boys,
dragged him through the streets and
locked him up in the church. Great
popular excitement resulted. The
crowd stormed the building and in the
fight which followed, murdered the
missionary. The authorities were no?
tfied of what wa.s going on and hurried
to the scene," but instead of being as
sisted by the missionaries, the latter
upbraided the mandarins and swore
they would have vengeance, and even
laid hands on the mandarins. Hence
a renewed outbreak of fury and more
fatal violence. The emperor of China
j has a perfect horor of every kind of
' outrage, and has launched three ener
j getic decrees, calling on the foreign
QtHce to mete put the severest punish
ment to the guilty, and the minister
felt sure that these outrages would
not pecur again. i
TB4T TORONTO VEBDJCT,
Canadian Anthorltles Determined Holme
Shall be Punished.
Toronto, Aug. 17. Deputy Attor
ney General Cartwright was seen today
regarding the verdict of murder against
Holmes, given by the oprqner's jury,
but wquld make nq statement as to any
action the crown authorities might
tak looking to the extradition of the
prisbner, until he had consulted with
Acting Premier Hardy. When shown
a press dispatch that Holmes would be
tried in Chicago, he said he would pre
fer that course, but thought the police
of that city hud not enough evidence
to convict. In fact, he was of ;he
opinion that the plan emanated from
the cunning brain of Holmes himself,
who was aware of the slight chances
against him. He emphatically stated,
however, that should the United States
authorities fail to convict the prisoner,
the'province of Ontario would spare
no expense to bring him to justice.
The coroner's jury's evidence is not
eligible for extradition purpose, and a
week would be needed to secure evi
dence in form to have the papers made

Denver, ug. 19. The Gumry
hotel, No. 1725 to 173" Lawrenco street,
was wrecked by a terrific explosion at
12:10 this (Monday) marning.the entire
rear half of the building, a five-story
brick and stone atruoture, going down
ith a crash. The hotel was crowded
with guests, and many of them must
have been killed, as well as the entire
force of hotel employes who were
sleeping iq that portion of the build
ing, On both sides of Lawrence street,
from Seventeenth to Eighteenth
streets, and on Lawrence street
directly back of the Gurmy, the platp
glass windows of the business, houses
were blown in and number of pedes
trians were injured by falling glass.
The fronts of many ' buildings in (h
vicinity were oaoiy wrecseq,
ihe hotel structure, for J00 feet
along the alley, and. extending for 75
feet tpwards tne front, is merely a
niass of debris. Brioka and plaster are
pneu in a neap go reel nigh, and rrom
tnia mass or wreckage can be beard
the moans of the injured and dying.
By some estimates 40 people were in
the portion of the hotel- destroyed,
nearly all of whom must be dead. It
will be morning before a correct list
can be obtained.
At 12:50 the ruins are bruning
fiercely, and the firemen have been
obliged to retreat from the work ot
rescue. Every engine in the city is
pouring streams of water into tbe
seething mass, but the flames cannot
possibly be gotten under control be
fore many of the injured have been
cremated.
As their ohanoes of escape lessen the
ories of the imprisoned people are in
creasing, heartrending shrieks rising
from every portion of the great mass
of wreckage. Fears are now enter
tained that the front portion of the
building, which seems to be tottering,
will fall and bury the firemen. a.t their
work,
Denver, Aug. At midnight last
night the Gumry hotel was destroyed
by an explosion, which startled the
entire downtown region of the city.
In an instant one of the best-known
hotels of Denver was reduced to a heap
of ruin. Tbe front of tbe structure
remained standing, but the great mass
of brick and projecting wood of the
beams marked the spot wotoh had
been occupied by the main portion of
the hotel, z
To add to the horror, nre began to
break forth iq different plaoes from
the ruins. The groans ot human be
ings in distress came from the smoul
dering pile, and had it not been for
the most strenous efforts of the fire
department, many imprisoned victims
would have been burned to death.
It is impossible to give a list of the
dead or even approximate the number,
Out ot 40 or more people in the hotel
when the explosion occurred, a score
pf people were gotten out safely,
Three were rescued with more or leas
serious injury, and others are unques
tionably lying dead beneath the mass
pf bricks and shattered beams and
twisted iron at the rear end of the
ruined building. The death list will
include the owner of the hotel, Peter
Gumry, and Manager R. C. Greiner
and wife, who acted as day clerk.
Before the fire added to the horrors of
the explosion, firemen were appealed tp.
piteously by meq and - women and
babies whose lives were being crushed
Out in the ruins. '
The great loss of life, the extent Of
which is impossible at present to de-t
termine, was entirely unexpected, As
sppp as the explosion occurred every
guest of the hotel was up. When the
fire department reaohed tbe soene tbe
windows were crowded with human
forms pleading for help to escape from
their perilous positions. It was not
thought at that time, however, that
the flames would complete the work of
demolition. Tbe guests were very
naturallv alarmed at the exnlosion.
hut in answer tp their frantic appeals
they we're assured that they were
perfectly safe where they were and iq
deed it seemed so. Afterwards when
the fire broke put, al calculations
were upset, and many who might have
been saved at once, had it been known
that the fire was to follow, went to
their awful fates,
R, E. Irwin, the night clerk, made
the following statement:
"I was standing at my counter talk
ing to Budd and Hawkins, the two bar
tenders, when suddenly I heard a
terrific roar, and instantly the roof
came down, and I was pinned beneath

tight I could not move my limbs. -The
room began to fill with smoke, and I
was unable to breathe. After giving
up all hope, I heard firemen above me,
and soph they had removed enough
timbers to allow me tp drag myself out
and from there to the street. The en
gineer is a boy, 17 years of age, Elmer
Loescher. He was drunk at the time
hp went on duty. In fact, he either
was full all the time or was away from
the engine-room. I cannot say how
many were in the hotel. I judge about
70. There are 11 now in tne ruins in
cluding George Adams."

y Miserable Armenian.
Chicago, Aug. 18. A meeting of Ar
menians, held last night, broke up in a
riot, in wbioh a number of persons
were injured, uven before tne alarm
was given people hurried to North
Clark street and Michigan street,
attracted by the uproar that came from
the open windows of the ' hall where
the Armenian National Union was
ho'dmg a meeting. In a few moments
the street was blocked. From . the
windows of the hall came the sound ot
terrifio battle, of flying chairs and curi
ous voices. Then suddenly the noise
was nusnea, ana down the stairs came
nearly 100 men Some were blood
stained. One with hia head bound in
a handkerchief appeared to be insen
sible, and had to be carried away by
his friends. There was scarcely a man
without a black eye or some mark of
conflict about him. .: ,
The trouble seems to have arisen
over the election of officers. After the
riot had subsided the polioe arrived,
but they could not find the leaders,
and no arrests were made.., None of
those injured were thought to be fa
tally hurt,

This afternoon a report noised around
town that the militia-company, has
been ordered to report at the armorv
proved true, and it was soon learned
that special deputies had bean sworn In
to mage arrests of the men charged
with being implicated in the reoent
lynching. The officers and deputies
scattered, and tonight seven men are
under arrest, charged with murder.
The movements of. tbe officers are
quiet and they have little to say.
They decline to give the names of the
men arrested, and have very little in
formation for. the public generally.
Tbey had no trouble In making tbe ar
rests, and while it caused some exoite
ment, no demonstration of any kind
was made, and tonight the town is per
fectly quiet, and no fears of trouble
are expressed. The militia company,
however, is ready should additional
help be needed.
Durrani's Visit to the Belfry.
San Francisco, Aug. 17. August
Kellner and John Rush are the names
of the two new witnesses by whom the
prosecution in the Durrant case expect
to prove that Durrant was in the habit
of visiting the belfry of Emanuel
church in company with young girls.
Kellner is a carpenter, and in Septem
ber. 1893, he was engaged to repair the
belfry of the ohurch, which ' had been
damaged by a storm. One day, while
at work in the belfry with Rush, he
says Durrant, accompanied by a girl,
entered the befry. On seeing tbe men
there, they left. A few days later,
Durrant again entered -the belfry.
This time with another girl. They
remained a few. minutes and . went
away. These visits occurred over a
year before the murders commenced,
and while the testimony of the new
witnesses has nq direct bearing on the
case, it goes to show, so the police
think, that Durrant was not the virtu
ous young man he pretended to be.
"A New Country Opened Vft. "
Golgendale,- Wash., ' Aug. 17
Twenty-five immigrants from Oregon
passed through Goldendale today, en
route to the Cedar valley country, with
a view of locating on government land.
The prospect of a railroad' np the
Klickitat has revived the interest of
the settlers in the future of tho Cedar
valley region. It is estimated that tbe
proposed railway will afford an outlet
for tbat new country, It is said there
are seven townships in that vicinity
open far entry. The heavy grade of
the present wagon road will be avoid
ed, and an excellent wagon road can
be built to the railway on the Big
Klickitat,
ALL NIGHT OX RAINIER.
ThrUllng Experiences of a Party of Mountain-Climbers.
: Seattle, Aug. 17. A party of seven
mountain-climbers from the Puget
Sound Methodist . university had : a
thrilling experience on Mount Rainier
last Sunday. The ascent of the moun
tain was made without difficulty, but in
returning from the summit to the Camp
of the Clouds, .5000 feet below them,
but which is at an altitude of about
9000 feet, the party became lost in a
dense bank of fog. They could' see
nothing but a waste of fog and snow.
Night came on and they were still lost.
They tramped until hunger and weari
neae.; compelled them to stop. Hud
dling behind a pile of rocks.they finally
decided to spend the rest of the night
there, and wait for the; fog to rise.
Here the party nearly froze to death.
The wind blew so hard that the only
way they could keep their blankets
from blowing away was by - loading
them with heavy stones. .But morn
ing came, and they again found their
trail, and late Monday afternoon they
reaohed tbe Camp of the Clouds, frost
bitten, starved and worn - --out. Dr.
Misner, of the party, ruptured a blood
vessel, and is seriously ill as the result
of 48 hours on Mount Rainler's summit.
The rest of the party are not seriously
injured. Rev.- W. MV Jefferis de
livered a sermon on tbe . summit last
Sunday, entitled, "Tbe Sermon on the
Mount." . '
She Got a Safety.
Cottage Grove Leader: We learn
that a school girl graduated in Eugene
read an advertisement in a Chicago
paper, "Girl wanted to sell baking
powder.' To any girl who will send us
$ for three dozen cans of our rapid
selling baking powder we will forward
at once a beautiful safety." She sent
the money and by hustling around
like a bouse on fire for three weeks she
managed to unload the stuff.- The
"safety" came in an envelope, and was
one of those brass pins, horse blanket
size, like mamma used to keep up our
style with.

CROP-WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon for the Week Ending
August IS. 1S93.
Weataer The hazy condition of
the atmosphere became more dense,
and the smoke from the forest fires in
Western Oregon" has become
dense until now the atmosphere ia filled
with smoke. The maximum tempera
ture during the week has ranged from
74 to 90 degrees, alio-htlv lnwr than
during the proceeding week. - The
minimum has ranged trom 48 to 66 de
grees, except on Tuesday morning,
where in places south of the Blue
mountains, it was near to and below
the frost point.- No frost, however, is
reported to have occurred. There has
been an jentlre absence of rainfall, and
very few clouds.
CROPS Under the favorable WAAthnr
conditions which have , prevailed
throughout , the harvest season, har
vest' has progressed and the late sown
grain has filled better than anticipa
tion warranted. In Wasco, Sherman, '
Umatilla and Morrow counties the,
grain harvest will : be completed at
the end of the present week, while in
the Walla Walla valley it is about half
over. From reports received early in
the season an average crop of grain
was despaired of in the counties
and east of the' Blue mountains: also
In some of the Columbia vallev coun
ties; such has actually been the case.
Jiougn there are many fields of grain
on . tbe low lands tbat matured . the
average yield with grain of superior
quality. Grain sown on the upper
lands suffered from the drouth, and u
a consequence the yields are below the
average, and the grain in many instan- .
ces is shriveled. With few exceptions
the farmers in Wasco and Sherman
counties are satisfied with tbe results;
the berry is of good quality. In the
Walla Walla valley the reports are en
tlaely in favor of the producer, be he a
raiser of fruit or a grower of grain.
In Union, Grant and Baker counties
many farmers eut their wheat for hay.
During the months ot May and June
the weather continued oool. esneciallv
at night, and" the corn crop looked
yellow and slokly, but since the
weather has become warm there has
been . a noticeable Improvement, es
pecially in the Hood. River section: a
fair crop may be expeeted. The hay
harvest is closing. In many sections
the farmers are eutting alafafa, which- '
is a very good crop where It , has been
properly irrigated, and very thin and
inferior where it has been neglected.
Pastures and the range shows the ef
fect ot the drouth. -. . Cattle . are thin.
Hay will be scarce next winter, though
there will be enough ot old bay to sup
ply some of the present crop's de
ficiency. There-is an excellent .crop of
rruit oemg n arrested lor tne markets.
Our correspondent ; at Hood River
states; "All kinds Of fruit is plentiful,,
well developed and of most excellent
quality.' The largest fruit shipments
Oregon: has ever known have been
sent from The Dalles. Hood River apd
Walla Walla this season. There is an
excellent crop of fruit in ' Baker and
Union counties." - A correspondent
from.Unionv Union county, writes:
"Tbe fruit crop is the- only A No. 1
crop we. have." Plums and peaches
are ripening in Grant county, and in
all other sections the fruit reports are
favorable. Gardens are looking well
and are producing an abundance for
home consumption and some outside,
shipments. There is a good prospect
tor the potato crop - in all sections.
Potatoes and vegetables are extra fine
where they have been irrigated. The
water in the streams Is . very -low.
Grasshoppers are still in evidence
though there is little for them to des-
troy. .. . i . . -., . - ,
There are no conditions present that
fhdicate any rainfall for the next week. '
The haze and smoke will continue un
til rain falls. . . .... - -
. Portland, Or., August 20.
'.' Shooting Affray.
A very serious if not fatal shooting .
affray happened -in Portland yester
day between Dr. Holmes and Dr. Ausp-
lund, two prominent physicians of that v
city. The shooting took place In the
reception room ot Dr. Holmes on the
fourth floor of the Dekum block, about
11:4a in the forenoon, and there wero '
nine shots exchanged by tbe parties. .
Tbe trouble grew out of some scanda
lous words which, it is claimed, Dr.
Holmes used in reference to Dr. Ansp- . .
lund and Mrs, Dr. Chambers, the resi
dent physiolan at the Portland hospi
tal, and Ausplund desired him to re
tract. ' Holmes is shot in the breast,
arm and leg, but his wound are not
considered, serious. . Ausplund has
several very serious. injuries, and his-' ,
oase is considered, very critical. Both -','
are at the -good Samaritan hospital, .
under the', best ' surgical . treatment. ,
One version of the story is tbat when
Dr. Holmes refused to sign the retrac
tion Ausplund fired ' at him,' and tbe
fight began " The other Is tbat Holmea
fired the first shot after Ausplund had '
been struck by him. No arrests , have .
been made, and . the .authorities wilt
take no action until both recover or it
results fatally to either.
