FOR ANOTHER TRIAL
DURRANT'S ATTORNEYS READ
THEIR AFFIDAVITS.
They Include Every Article Pnbll.bed
la Kvarr Local Paper Concerning the
Crime and Dorrant'a Trial, and Re
fer to tbe IMemlaacl of Juror Brown.
Ban Franoisoo, Nov. 29. Theodore
Durrsnt appeared before Superior
Judge Murphy today for sentence for
the murder of Blanohe Lament He
looked well-nourisbed and contented,
spending the time before the opening
of court in reading papers and chatting
with friends and counsel. When the
case was called, General Dickinson, for
tbe defendant, began to read from
bundle of 251 type-written pages of
affidavits, on which he based his mo
tions for a new trial. The affidavits
include every article published by
every local paper concerning tbe crime
and Durrant's trial. In the affidavit
Durrant lays particular stress on the
statement that some witnesses for tbe
defense refused to testitfy in bis behalf
because of the comments in advance of
the newspapers. Reference was also
made to the action of tbe court in
granting peremptory challenge of tbe
prosooution to Juror Walter 8. Brown,
who had been aooepted and sworn to
try tbe case. Tbe action of tbe court
in accepting C. P. Nathan as juror was
also dealt with and the record of the
court quoted to show that Nathan was
aooepted in tbe faoe of the challenge of
the defendant
Not a point was overlooked, and tbe
affidavit even recounted an attempted
attack upon Durrant by an unknown
person in tbe corridors of the city hall
during the progress of tbe trial. Ref
erence was also made to the crowd
who gathered daily at the county jail
and city hall to see the prisoner taken
to and from jail to the court.
Dickinson consumed tbe entire day
in reading the affidavits. District At
torney Barnes will also present counter-affidavits
and argue the motion.
The decision of the court on the mo
tion will not likely be made for sev
eral days. -
SAYS CORBETT IS A COWARD
Martin Julian Claims Fltaalmmona
Champion of the World.
la
Philadelphia. Nov. 29. A letter
from Martin Julian, manager for Fitz
Simmons, was received in this city to
night It is dated Houston, Tex.
Julian charges Corbett with oowardioe,
and says John Keenan, of New York,
is an enemy of Fitzsimmons. tie said:
'As regards Fitzsimmons crossing
the line and going to Hot Springs,
will say that it was utterly impossible
to safoly Broas anywhere. The entire
town was guarded, and we could not
have crossed without being killed, as
such threats were made to us. In con
clusion, I will say that I have already
claimed both the middle-weight and
heavy-weight championships of tbe
world for Fitzsimmons, who is the
only champion; that Fitzsimmons
stands ready to defend both titles
against the world, and all comers, pro
viding they be white men, for from
$5,000 to $10,000, first come first
served.
"Should Mr. Stewart fail to drag
Corbett out of tbe bole be has cowardly
crawled into, then Fitzsimmons will
be only too pleased to fight Maher or
any other man living, xo.iurtner
show how willing we ate for a fight, I
will leave the selection of a referee to
Stuart and Corbett I will sign ar
ticles blindfolded. If Corebtt wants
to prove he is not a coward, he will ac
cept Stuart's offer for a fight near El
Paso for a purse ot 30,ooo, wnion ne
agrees to divide between the two men
should be fail to bring the fight off the
dav selected, without interference of
any kind. That is the faireBt proposi'
tion over made, and I do not think Cor
bett will ever accept it, because he is
too faint-hearted to go up against
man of Fitzsimmons' caliber in a fair
and square fight, where orookedness
and put-up jobs are not tolerated,

HOKE SMITH'S REPORT.
The Condition of Affairs In the Interior
Department.
Washington, Nov. 80. Secretary
Hoke Smith, of the interior depart
ment, baa made his annual report to
the president It reviews the work of
the department beginning with the In
dian service, and calls attention to the
strict enforcement which has been
given to civil-servioe reform, both as
to those places covered by tbe classified
service and those to which the rules of
this service do not apply.
Tbe secretary dwells upon the neces
sity of eliminating politics from the
management of Indian affairs, and of
conducting each reservation upon
strictly business principles, the object
being to make every Indian who re
mains upon tbe reservation sell sup
porting and ready, as soon as possible,
to assume tbe duties of citizenship and
be freed from the paternal care of the
government The secretary thinks that
if the resources of the reservations are
treated intelligently, and the Indians
accustomed to labor, in a few years
praotically all the Indians can be made
self-supporting.
The secretary recommends tbe reor
ganization of tbe bureau as follows:
First That instead of a single com
missioner of Indian affairs, tbe Indian
service be placed in charge of three
commissioners, two of them to be ci
viliansto be appointed from different
political parties and one to be a de
tailed army officer.
Second That the tenure of office of
an Indian agent be dependent upon the
faithful discharge of bis duties, and
appointments and removals be made
by the president upon recommendation
of the three commissioners of Indian
affairs.
Third That classified service be ex
tended over all the subordinate posi
tions, both at the agencies and at the
schooL
The reduotion of 20 per cent, which
the law required to be made in connec
tion with tbe Indian contract schools,
has been strictly carried out, and the
secretary adds that there seems to be
no reason why such reduotion should
no( continue from year to year until
the system of government aid to sec
tarian schools shall terminate.
Referring to the allotments, the
secretary says there are a number of
changes which should be made in the
present allotment system, which re
quire congressional action. Aocording
to the present law, an Indian becomes
a citizen of the United States upon re
ceiving his allotment
In any case he is ready to receive
land before be is prepared for the con
sequences of citizenship. Allotments
should be made long before reserva
tions are opened. Each Indian should
be settled upon bis homestead and be
self-supporting before citizenship is
conferred upon him. When citizen
ship is oonferred, the government ought
to let him alone and allow him to take
his place, surrounding him with no
more restraint and giving him no more
help than is accorded to other citizens.
Under the present system, Indians to
whom allotments have been made and
upon whom citizenship has been con
ferred still receive enormous gratuities,
and need every dollar they receive.
Upon each reservation a part of the
Indians will be ready for citizenship
before others, and all are ready for
land and to work it before they are
ready for oittzenship. The law should
be changed so that allotments can be
made upon the recommendation of the
agent to those who are ready for it,
and patents should be issued later with
the approval of the secretary ol tne in
terior to these Indians upon showing
themselves ready to receive the lands
assigned.
He also recommends that general au
thority, with tbe approval of the presi
dent, be given the Indian bureau to
sell parts ot Indian reservations, the
money to be used for the payment oi
lands for the purchase of agricultural
implements and cattle for the Indians
who may reside on the remaining
lands.
Referring to the Unoompaghre reser
vation, he calls attention to the faot
that through the geogolioal survey, an
examination has been made or tne gu
aonite beds, whioh seem to be of very
sreat value, and be reoommends legis
lation to allow these deposits to be sold
or leased to the highest bidder.
The report reviews the Jackson Hole
disturbances, and stives an account of
the active means taken by tbe depart
ment to secure justice for the killing of
the Bannook Indians July 15 last, and
also to preserve peace between the In
dians and whites. He reoommonda the
peaoeful oourse of the Indians under
circumstances so extremely aggravat
ing on the part of the whites.

EDITORIAL OPINION.
Toplca of th Day Dlecueeed
by the
Leading Papers.
Philadelphia Times.
The fact that agriculture is in pro
cess of gradual abandonment in Great
Britain may account in part for the
great increase in immigration from
that country, the number of arrivals
since August aggregating 238,000. It
evidently does not pay the British
farmer to raise wheat on high-priced
British land. The next problem is to
make this land profitable in some other
way. The decline in wheat acreage,
this year is 26 per cent less than 1891.
This indicates that upwards of 200,000
acres of land have failed of cultivation
because agriculture no longer pays.

opposed to it, and everything that can

It is therefore important that tbe

taken to the supreme court and have
