Senator Teller's Concurrent Reso lution. Washington, Jan. C There was only a small attendance In the senate. Allen or Nebraska spoke on the lm mlRratlon bill, and declared in favor or consular Inspection of Immigrants. Carter of Montana called up a bill to provide for taking tlie next census, and argued against making appoint ments tlirougli tlie civil service com mission, saying it was a preliraary measure, and provided only for 32 places. Cockrell of Missouri replied, declaring the Republican party was backing tquarely down from ite position on the civil service question. A report by Secretary Sherman on civil service was read, and Cockrcl. of Missouri said it was a mot remark able document, being a request on congress for legislative action which was in the power of his chief by ex ecutive order. Teller declared the census bureau should not be a partisan one, but under the classified service. He as serted that in the last census tlie sil ver production had been fraudulently overstated by $10,000,000. The senate then went into executive session. Senator Teller introduced a concur rent resolution declaring that the bonds of the United States, principal and Interest, should at the option of the government, be paid in standard silver dollars, and that such payment is not in violation of public faith or In derogation of the public credit. The resolution was referred to the linance committee. HOUSE. There was not a yery large attend ance in the house when it convened. Without any preliminary business the house went Into committee of the whole to resume consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial ap propration bill. All the features of the bill had been disposed of except the appropriation for the civil service commission upon which by previous urrangement, there was to be a general debate. It was proposed that Moody, Ee publican, of Massachusetts, and Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, con trol the time for and against, Hep burn, Republican, of Iowa, suggested that it was a three-cornered contest. "The Democrats," said he, "desire the eutlre repeal of the law. Some of thosn on this side desire it to stand as it is, while a Jargo body of us desire a wholesale modification of its provisions." "Why does the gentleman aver that all Democrats deslro the entire repeal of the law?" Inquired Clark, Demo crat, of Missouri- "Slmqly because that would bo wrong and your side is always wrong," reiterated Hepburn, amid great laughter. All suggestions as to the control of time failed at last and the chair recognized Grow, Republi can, of Pennsylvania, who spoke for twenty minutes In support of the gen eral principle of the civil service law. Moody of Massachusettes, made an elaborlte defense of the civil service system. Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, opened the opposition to the civil service law. He made a warm speech, In which he declared the law was odi ous to the American people and should be repealed. Pearson, Republican, of North Car olina, attacked the law and said a bill for its repeal would be brought In by a majority of the clyil service commis sion. Among the nominations sent In by the president were; John Fox, collector of customs for the district of Oregon. LAST HOPES FADING Heavy Pressure Brought on Governor Budd, DURRANT 'GIVES UP-ALL HOPE. The Cemetery Authorities Have Re fused Interment. San Francisco Jan. 0. Although the utt' rneys for W. II. T. Durrant, the condemned murderer of Blanche Lamont, were considerably discon certed by the denial of their applica tion for a writ of habeas corpus and Dermission to appeal therefrom In the United States circuit court.they have yet two more moves, by means of which they hope to preyent the exe cution of their client on Friday. Tiiese are to appeal to the governor for a reprieve and to apply to the su preme court of the United States fur an appeal from the circuit court de cision denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Attorney Boardman, who left heie on Saturday, Is expected to reacn Washington tonight and will prob ablv make the latter aoDlicatlon to morrow morning. While little reli ance Is Icing placed upon the gover nor, strong pressure is being brought to bear upon him in behnlflof the con demned murderer and no stone Is being left unturned in the effort to gain executive clemency. Meanwhile, Warden Hale has com pleted ah his arrangements for tlie carrying out of the sentence and so little faith have Durrant's parents In tlie efforts to save their son, that they have requested Rev. William Rader to mount the scaffold with the con demned man. They also at tempted to make arrangements for tlie funeral of their son after the execution, but learned to their dismay that there was a decided objection on tlie part of the cemetery officials or this city to permitting Durrant's body to be in terred on account of the publicity which has been given him. Scientific men who are Interested in the pathological leatures of Durrant's case are greyiously disappointed at the prospect that no autopsy will be allowed on the remains. Dr. John W. Robertson, the celebrated chemist, had recicved a communication from the American Journal of Insanity to prepare an elaborate treatise on the case. He is , firmly impressed with the extraordinary character of Dur rant as a study in psychopathy, and regrets that a post-imrtem examin ation of the head of tne condemned man cannot be made. The fact that Dunant having been well advancedias a medical student should havs made a positive request that no examination bo made of his face or head after death Is commented upon as significant. It seems that uo measurements of Durrants head have been made. Theodore Durrant has entirely glyen up hope and so has his father, who came over last evening with the news that the courts were closed to all appeals or applications of writs delaying execution. Both are now convinced that the younger Durrant will be hanged on the morrow. When told that Governor Budd had taken under advisement the applica tion made this afternoon by Us at torneys for a commutation of the sentence, to life Imprisonment, or at least for a rpprieve. Theodore Dur rant sorrowfully remarked that he had little to hope for from the gov ernor. The older Durrant has finally decided not to be present at tlie hang ing. He so informed the warden, making a uumber of requests which Warden Hale has already granted The father asked, that after the ex ecution, the remains of his son be placed at once in a coflln without an v autopsy or inquest, that the black cap be not removed, so that no one would be permitted to see his boy's face after death. He also asked that the rope bo burned after the execution, so that It could not be cut up and bits distributed as souvenirs. The con demned man received spiritual at tintion from Rev. Wm. Reader, a Congregational minister from San Francisco. NO WItIT GRANTED. In the United States circuit court, Judges Morrow and De Haven ren dered their decision in the Durrant case. They denied the application for a writ of habeas corpus, and also refused to grant Durrant's attorney leave to appeal from this decision.

Both branches, of the legislature have ad journed until Monday. But both sides of the senatorial contest remain In conference at the Neil House and the Great Southern Hotel respectively. Tlie suspense and secret work will continue until Tuesday, when the two brandies of the legislature vote sep arately for a senator. The doubtful members made no Hops today, On next Monday, Governor Bushncll will be inaugurated for his second term, but the exercises will not inter fere with the senatorial fight. The auti-Hanna Republicans expect all of their followers here on Monday for a large demonstration. Although many Republican club have cancelled their engagements for quarters on Inaugur ation day, It is believed that the ef forts of the ant I Ilanna Republicans to Have as big a demonstration as us ual, will surceed. The Ilanna men wili take advantage of the excursion rates to have visiting Republican del egates here on that day to protest against the combine with tlie Demo crats. The expected deadlock will not be gin until next Wednesday, when the two houses ballot jointly for senator. Letters and telegrams from protest ing Republican clubs and committees and others, continue to pour in from the counties, on the governor and the Republican members who are co-operating with the Democrats, and some of these messages and missives appeal to Sei.ator Foraker to come to the relief of the party by declaring it to be the duty of all Republicans to stand by the decree of tlie Toledo state convention in supporting Ilanna. lb reply to the reports about Secre tary Sherman, Assistant Secretary Day, Congressman Grosvenor and others being made a Republican sen atorial nominee Senator Ilanna said he would never retire. Ho says he was nominated by the Toledo conven tion and cannot retire In favor of any one. If defeated the responsibility for the disregard of tlie decree of the state convention will rest on those who are now co-operating with Dem ocrats. The senator Insists that he will rever withdraw, cyen If defeat should become inevitable. But he still lnslbts that he will win out be fore another week rolls around. The standing committees have not been announced in either house, and the combine is using the patronage to hold their men in line. In the senate Senator Burke showed some ten dency to co-operate with his Republi can colleagues. The Democrats wanted to report the committee, but Senator Burke stopped them by saying he would vote with tlie Republicans. Later in the day Senator Burke was In conference with Senator Ilanna and lie spent most of tils time with Ilanna workers. The anti-IIanna Republicans an nounce positively that under no cir cumstances will they vote for a Dem ocrat. They will continue the dead lock indefinitely rather than elect a Democratic senator. The "Press" Is out with a sensa tional extra edition, announcing that a Democratic prosecuting attorney has presented the senatorial situa tion to the grand Jury, but this affair is pronounced as an attempt at intim idation by the Ilanna men, At the antl-Hanna headquarters they claimed a new accession, but re fuse to giye the name of the member. In connection with the reports about Representative Griffith, especially about the preference of Mrs. Griffith, there are reports of wives of other Re publican members being enlisted In the contest. And there are reports that the wives of some of the Demo cratic members are urging their hus bands not to vote for any Republican senator, but to stand out for a Demo crat.
