THE DURRANT PLAY PROHIBITED
Work o Filling Up the Jury Proceed,
Very Slowly.
San Frauoisoo, July 81. The princi
pal feature of the Durraut case today
was the defendant's application for a
judicial order to prevent the produc
tion of a play called "The Crime of a
Century," based upon the Emanuel
church murders. The prisoner alleges
that the performance advertised for to
night would inflame popular feeling
gainst him. The prosecution joined
with the defense iu a request for a re
straining order, which was granted.
The work of securing a jury proceeds
slowly. Of thirty examiued today
noue were accepted. Few .are chal
lenged for believing in the prisoner's
guilt. The majority are excused for
their unwillingness to accept the cir
cumstantial evidence as convinoiug.
The production of the play entitled,
"The Crime of a Century," which was
placed ou the stage at the Alcazar
theater tonight, was stopped in the
middle of the third act. Just at the
point when Dubois, the character who
is supposed to impersonate Durrant,
was about to drag a yonng woman to
the belfry of a church, Sheriff Whelan
aud five deputies marched on the stage
and arrested the performers, eleven in
all The manager of the theater was
also placed under arrest. The man
ager stepped before the curtain and
made a speech, in which he claimed he
had a right to produce the play, but he
was taken into custody, nevertheless,
for disobeying the order made by Judge
Murphy; restraining him from putting
the piece on the stage. All gave bail
in the sum of $1,000 eaoh, and were
released. A great crowd attended the
performance, whioh was hissed at in

A PREACHER'S PROTEST.
Te Sanctioned the Wheel end Nhort
SklrU, Hut Don't I.Ike llloouiern.
San Francisco, July 31. Since a
bloomer ball was given iu Chicago a
few days ago, preparations have been
made for several functions of the kind
in this city. As a result the local
clergymeu are considerably agituted
over the subject, and last night Dr.
Westwood Case, of the Howard street
Methodist church, paid his respects to
the bloomer girl aud the bloomer ball
in the following words:
"I believe iu the wheel aud iu
women riding the wheel, aud iu her
getting rid of a groat deal of unneces
sary skirts; but when it is aunouued
that no woman can attend the bloomer
ball wearing skirts, then it is time to
put iu a protest.
It is my opinion that no woman
will go to that bloomer ball who is
virtuous and prudent and possessed of
taste. But let no body quote me as
saying that all who go to that bull are
not virtuous women; I have not said
that, but that they will not bo all three
of those things, I say, that, in my
opinion, beiug a just prophecy.
' I behove that every respectable
woman will frowu upou any such kind
of au entertainment. The danger of
the bloomer craze lies iu the fact that
when the public allows a little latitude
in dress, there are those iu every com
munity who are disposed to make it
disgraceful."
ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Subject Dlncnaaed ut the International
Ueographloal Congrea,.
London, July 81. The session today
of the international geographical con
gress was opened with the description
l of polar expeditions. Mr. Neumeyer
and Joseph Hooker, a survivor of the
Arctic expedition headed by Sir Johu
Ross in 1829-38, urged that fresh ex-
Paiuous ne equ.ppea, an ut. hur
J J t-
ray, leaaer oi mo unuuongur expem-
tion, argued in support of the theory
that the Arctic continent was a suc
cession of volcanic islands, and that
investigation of the Antarctic ocean
ought to be uudertakeu by the nations
of the world, aud as a result of private
enterprise. A small committee was
appointed to draft a resolution in favor
of further examinations.
There was a small attendance at to
day's session. Acoordiug to general
opinion, the paper read by General
Greeley was too technical to be popu
lar. Most of the interest of the day
was centered in a paper read by M. S
Tandre, proposing a balloon route to
the North Pole. The idea seemed feas
ible as proposed by the explorer. The
only difficulty appeared to be how to
make sufficient gas for the expedition.
Then, again, prominent geographers
seemed to think that the proposition
would fail without tho use of boats,
and a lurge amouuf of provisions to
rely upon in oase of accident. The
general impression of the congress,
however, was that the proposition
lacked praotioal application.
Manufactured War New,.
London, July 81. The Times has
commenced an action against the Cen
tral News, a small news agency of this
city, olaiming that the terms of its
contract with the Central News to sup
ply cable messages from the war in the
far East were not fulfilled, iuusmuch
as the dispatches wore not true or sub
stantial copies of the cable messages, aud
that some of them were concocted by
and on behalf of the defendant, and that
others were largoly altered. The
Times also asks for a declaration that
the publishers of the Times are not re
sponsible for the claim made for a fur'
ther payment of 41 pounds for "such
war news." The Central News peo
ple deny the allegation.

IIILLSHOItt), OREGON, THURSDAY,
STILL ANOTHER GONE
A Large Expedition Leaves
This Country tor Cuba.
VESSEL A FORMIDABLE WARSHIP
She lla. Arm, and Ammunition Aboard
Which the Insurgent, Meed More
Thau Anything KUe.
Philadelphia, July 80. The Press
will publish the following tomorrow?
By Tuesday or Wednesday of this
week there will be iu Cuban waters
the largest expedition from this country
that has yot left. It will be under
command of Colonel Enrique Colluzo,
who arrived in this country about July
I), aud since that time has been preparing
for this expedition. Tho ship is fitted
out us a war vessel, and 1b capable of a
spued of seventeen kuots an hour, and
has made nineteen. About tuu days
ago a trial trip was niude off Suudy
Hook. She was ut once accepted, aud
the money was paid ovor. Clcarauoe
papers were obtained, aud the vessel
put out to sea. A ooutiugout of about
twenty-live local Cubaus, skilled ship
rights aud experienced men-of-war,
were shipped ou another vessel aud
transferred to her on the high seas.
Rapid-firing four and six-inch guns
were purchased, aud these, with two
gutliug guns, were sent out iu the same
vessel, aud by the time the boat reaches
Cuban waters she will have a formid
able buttery iu position.
What is needed more than anything
else by tho insurgents is said to be
aboard this vessel. There uro said to
have been loaded from this port 8,000
Remington rifles aud SO, 000 rounds of
ammunition. The rifles and ammuni
tion aro said to have been shippod to
this city by the manufacturers, or
rather to a point near this city, aud
loaded on vessels at points down the
river uud bay. They wore then curried
out to the high seas, aud transferred to
the vessel purchased by the insurgents.
Everything was completed for sailing
Saturday night, aud the vessel is now
beliuved to bo ou its way to Cuba.
There is but one Cuban iu the party.
Among those who are enrolled is a for
mer ollioer of the United States navy,
an officer of the national guard, aud
four or five men who served through
the late war. The names of these peo
ple will not be made known until the
vessel lauds its men ou Cuban soil.
For obvious reasons the name of the
vessel has been kept soorot.
As soon as tho Cubans are recognized
as belligerents by somo foreign govern
ment, the vessel will be purchased by
the insurgents. When this is done,
the Cuban flag will be raised on her,
and she will be named iu all probabil
ity the "President Marti," iu honor of
the late leader of the insurgents. This
recognition is expected from a South
American or Central American repub
lic soon. The first stop toward this
will be takeu in a few days, if it has
not already been taken.
It is the purpose of those on the isl
and to set up a provisional government
at Manzuuillo, or some other point, in
a day or so. If the advices received
by the local Cubans that General de
Campos is now practioally a prisoner
in Buyamo are oorieot, tho new govern
incut will iu all probability be set up
at that point.
BRADY, THE TRAINROBBER.
He Fall, to Lunate the Stolen Money
for the Detective,.
Sacramento. July 80. This after
noon Sheriff Johnson took Jack Brady,
the trainrobber, over to Yolo oounty to
have him point out if possible the spot
where the $558,000 stolen from an ex
press oar had been buried. Brady,
who Btill iusits that he was never en-
Kttged iu a train robbery, says Brown
ins, who was his oompauiou, told him
whore the money was buried. There
were a number of railroad and express
company detectives present, and they
sea relied several hours for the money
by sinking iron rods into the ground.
Their Quest was not successful, and
Brady was returned to the oounty Jail,
Sheriff Inlow, of Yuba oounty, is now
in this city, and will take the bandit
to Marysville tomorrow afternoon.
The offloors intend to continue the
search for the treasure, whioh is sup
posed to have been buried by the rob
bers, but there is pretty general Denei
that it was taken away some time ago.
While the detectives do uot admit it,
it is known that they discovered a hole
in the ground about 200 yards from
the railroad track, where it is supposed
the coin had been hidden.
A Yolo oounty farmer who saw
Brady today says he is positive that he
saw him a few weeks ago near the
scene of the train robbery, aooompanied
by another man. They had a cart, and
it is believed that they unearthed the
money and carried it away.
Sheriff Cunningham, of San Joaquin
county, who is noted as a man-hunter,
was over from Stockton today to inter
view the bandit, he having said he
had paid several visits to that oity.
Cunninehain did not believe it, but
Brady assured him it was true.
The "Wizard's" Broken Arm.
Chicago. July 80. Jacob Sohaefer
may not be a factor in the internution
al billiard tournament, between the ex
perts of the world. The injury to the
famous player's arm is more' serious
than at first supposed, and it is now
feared that not only may Sohaefer be
out of the tournament, but that his
billiard oareer may be ended. Three
physicians examined the broken arm
today in a consultation, which resulted
in an operation. The fracture 1b within
an inch of the old break of several

appear to moot expectations. The
strength of the wheat market, bused on
reports of damage to the spring wheat,
and the groat falling off'of receipts at
primary markets is followed by a drop
to wheat exported this week, which total
(flour included as wheat) amounts to
1,200,010 bushels from both cousts of
the United States and Montreal, oom
pared with 1,052,000 bushels last
week, 8,888,000 bushels iu the fourth
week of July, 1804; 308,000 bushels in
the corresponding week of 1808; 2,524,-
000 bushels in 1802, aud 8,104,000
bushels in 1801. The present week's
shipments therefore are the smallest
sent out since the first week of June,
1801.
