"I AM INNOCENT" Tho Respite is Indefinate Greatly Elated, Durrant San Fhancisco, Gil., No". 12. William Henry Theodore Durrant was not hanged at San Qucntln tills morning after all, the supreme court ot this state uran ted him an other respite at the eleventh hour. Up to 4 o'clock when the news flashed over tho wires from Sacra mento that the court, now In session there, had granted a writ of probable cause, and instructed Warden Hale not to carry out the execution of Dur rant until further order, there was apparently no further hope for the condemned murderer of Blanche La montand Minnie Williams, as his attorneys, Missis. D'ck'nson and Boardman, had made a futile effort to secure another writ of habeas corpus in the United States circuit court and had not even been granted per mission to appeal from that decision to the supreme court of tho United States. Meanwhile, however Attorney Deu phrdy hastened to Sacramento and ap plied to the state supreme court for a writ of probable cause for the purpose of staying proceedings against his client upon the grounds that no offi cial knowledge of the action of the supreme court of the United States In the matter of Durrant's appeal from the decision of the fcdoral court, had as yet been received; that the super ior court had acted too hastily In sen tencing Durrant to be banged Friday, as the law required that he be given at least sixty days of grice, and con sequently that the pendency of an other appeal in the supremo court af fecting the condemned, was- of Itself suflicient cause for a stay of execution. The matter was partially argued In the chambers and later argued before the full court and taken under advise ment. Shortly afterwards the court announced Its decision, granting the writ applied for, in which all tho justice concurred. AtSanQuentin it has been a day of great, but suppressed excitement In and about the penitentiary. The preparations for the execution of Theodore Durrant had all been com pleted and the prison officials were in readiness to carry out the death sen tence from which there seemed no further appeal. At 4:20 o'clock p. in., the news that the supreme court had granted a reprieve was received at the prison In a message to Warden Hale from Chief Justice Beatty. Cap tain Edgar conveyed tho Information to the condemned man. Durrant quickly read It and without any great display of emotion fell on his knees and prayed silently for several inint utcs. Tho death veil was removed when Durrant was brought down to the ofllce and It will not again b placed over prisoner unless required by future developments in the case.

Durrant had expressed a de sire to make a statement to tho As oclated Press and In the course cf the Interview, said: Naturally I was greatly elated at the'newsof the reprieve, although my first Intimation based on a telephone message, was not positive. Soon after wards the news was confirmed. All I could do was to thank God." "Was the reprieve a surprise?" Durrant was asked. Not exactly. "All along I have had a perfect faith In my God. Tills after noon I was visited by two sisters of charity and I believe their prayers and the prayers of all those who have Interceded for me h.tve been instru mental In bringing about this re sult." Then Durrant remarked that he could not understand why christian people should beg liltn In letters to confess. "I am Innocent," he said, "and would never confess to such vile crimes. Sooner or later t lie truth will be known. 1 have faith that the real perpetrator will yet be discovered and punished. All of these little stays bring us nearer to it. I know tho Lord will sooner or Inter set all things right. I shall never give up the fight because the Loid Is with me," he added embracing and kissing Ills mother. "You may say 1 am Inno cent," said Durrant In conclusion. "I will never yield, for God Is with me." Inquiry Inaugurated. New Yoric.Nov, 12.

Hackctt, of tho Republican state committee, has given out tho follow ing statement, concerning tho organ ization of tho New York legislatien: "The Republicans have elected a substantial majority in the assembly, and will organlzo that body. Tho re turns as canvassed officially mako It certain that tho Republican vote hi the next liouso will exceed the Democratic by at least 1 1 . A Repub lican will be elected speaker, and Re publican Ideas of legislation will pre rail In the session. The lower house will be In sympathy with tho Repub lican senate and the Republican gov ernor. The rumors of factional dif ference and the claims of Democrats which hayc been circulated with the manifest purpose of confusing the people of the state as to tho political complexion of the assembly, arc not wortny of serious consideration. Eighty-one Republicans havo been elected to the assembly. Two of them from New York city were nom inated by the Citizens' Union. Tholr afllllatlons have leeri nlw-iy with the Republicans. Doubtless in consider ing and acting upon legislation affect ing municipal alfalis they will bo guided to somo extent by the views of those responsible for their nomina tion and election, but (on questions Involving party considerations It Is as absurd to suppose that they will Join tho Democrats as that tho Dem ocrats will rally under tholr leader ship. "There Is nothing In tjie avowed principles of the Citizens' Union us I understand them, which would com pel men holding tho Ideas of either great party to abandon them and take up with their old-time opponents. Even If such an absurdity were possi ble there aro still enough representa tives to guarantee that a Republican speaker will preside, and that tho leg islation will bo directed along the lines of established Republican policy." Turks Called to Time. Vienna, Nov. 12. Tho semi-official Fremdenblatt says that there Is a noticeable coolness between tho fi us trlau embassy and tho portc, owing to the highhanded action attributed to the local authorities of Mcrslna, Asia Minor, with relation to tho agent at that port of the Austrian Lloyds Steamship company, a merchant named Hruzznfolll.

The original troublo between Lueders and tho police, It Is claimed In his behalf, was duo to a policeman forcing his way Into his residence, contrary to law, In order to arrest his servants. Tho German minister on October 17 demanded that Lueders bo sot at llborty-and also demanded for every day the latter had spent in prison, 23 days In all, an In demnity of $1,000 In gold. Tho min ister added that for everyday Lueders was kept a prisoner after October 17 he would demand an Indemnity of $5,0Q0jji gold. Lueders remained In jail six days longer. Thereupon tho Gorman min ister notified tho Ilaytian govern ment that ho had hauled down his flag and had sent tho archives of tho German legation to tho legation of the United States, thus severing all diplomatic relations with the govern ment of Hayti. There were threats of lynching tho prisoner and tho 1 If o of the German minister was threatened. Lueders was however released, and sailed for New York. Fell Qallantly Fighting. Simla. Nov. 12.
