2 = THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1897T. —_— R R R e both refuse to zive any positive answer to the question whether Durrant will be hanged Friday. Moreover, the Attorney-General has not yet given the Warden any advice that would definitely decide the matte™ This, in itself, is a very sigtinificautjfact, for all day yesterday the Attorney-General was looking up tbe Federal law relating to the issue in the proposed appeal. An inter- rogation by Durrant’s attorneys met with no answer from the Attorney-General. Warden Hale and Fitzgerald will con- fer again to-day, and probably reach some definite conciusion. There are those who confidently say that the Attorney-General is almost convinced thst he would be justified in ordering that the law be al- lowed to take its course. He might give thisadvice for strategical purposes. To save their client Durrant's attorneys would then have recourse to an application for sn injunction to the Fed- eral courts. [f this were denied a new puzzle bobs us inasmuch as the action in itself would be a positive, although in- direct admonition to the Warden to pro- ceed with his duties. All in all the case is the most complex possibly in the history of criminal law in the United States. In fact 1t isa maze in which the lawyers are losing _themselve-. Durrant is still in the condemned cell, where he was removed from the death chamber on Saturday last. Tt is not neces- sary that a deathwatch should be put on a condemned man. This proceeding is at the option of the Warden. Durrant might ve taken from his present quarters to the scatfold direct. His mother will visit the prison to-day Itis the opinion of all who have paid any attention to the developments of the last three or four days that there is some- thing very important in progress. Itis well known that Attorney-General Fitz- rerald looks upon the Federal habeas corpus law as a cigantic farce. He would gladly circumvent it if he could. His assistants are searching the libraries for a precedent, and there are whispers that men have been hanged with impunity pending appeals to the highest Federal tribunal, notably in a few New York cases. There was a rumor in legal circles that the Attorney-General, a representat:ve of the Governor and the Federal Judges have had cne or two interviews on the status of the Durrant case since the application a writ of habeas corpus. The rumor & goes to the effact that erzinent legal tale: in Washington has been consulted as to the probable effect of the hanging of Dur- rant pending the appeal trom the refusal to grant the writ in the Circuit Court. All that is definitely known is that At- | torney-General Fitzgerald's entire office | force is busy. They are trying hard to | find some loopbole by which the State's Warden may hang the State’s great crimi- nal without getting into trouble. A number of interesting legal questions arise concerning the predicament Warden Hale would be in if he should hang Daor- rant pending the appeal. The United Giates statutes at most declare that the proceedings would be null and void, but what good would that consolation do Darrant and how would any United States court punish the off>nder? I'here is no Federal law azainst murder, unless the crime be committed on the high seas, in United States courtrooms and on certain lands specified, so there is probably no United States statute under which the Warden could be prosecutea for the murder of Durrant, the jurisdiction in such cases being relegated to the State | courts. But the State courts could not take cog- izance that a crime had been committed, since the execution would be in strict compliance with the mandates of the State trial and appellate courta, It is believed that if the hanging takes vlace on Friday it will be pursuant to thorouzh advice with eminent Federal lawyers, if not after a semi-official intima- tion that the Justices of the Supreme Court would not iuterfere with the ruling of the Circuit Judges, It has been discovered by the attorneys of the defense, however, that the famous Jugiro case that gave them their victory has been strongly aflirmed recently in a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States reported in a late volume. The decision referred to is McKane vs Dunston, in the 153 United States Re- ports. It gives hope for futurs appeals. Another point that has not been dis- cussed very fully is that if the Supreme Court should say that the lower court should have granted the writ there will be another chance of appeal from the de- cision of the lower court. If the lowe court remands the prisoner after 1ssue of the writs 2n appeal from shat decision will lie, thus giving two appeals in one pro- ceeding. TEN MILLIONAIRES INDICTED. Charged With Conspiring to Monopolize the aretie Industry. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8.—On the calerndar of the Court of G-neral Bessions there appeared yesterday the names of ten millionaire:—James H. Duke, William H. Butler, J. P. Browne, Charles G. Emerick, William A. Marburg, Lewis Ginter, George Arentz, George W. Gail, Benjamin N. Duke and George W. Watt: the officers and directors of the American Tobacco Company. The indictment charges they “‘unlaw- fully, wickedly, unjustly, oprressively and maliciously conspired, compived, confed- erated and agreed to control and monop- olize tbe making and vending of paper c\iznre. tes in the city and county of New ork."” 1i convicted they can be punished by a fine of §500 and several years’ imprison- ment. The case was adjourned till to- morrow. District Attorney O'cott, who is prose- cuting the indicted officials, will base his case 10 a considerable extent upon the de- cision recently rendered by Judge Gib- bons of Chicago, and it is asserted by those interested in the prosecution that the trial will result in a severe setback to the tobacco trust. The defense is in charge of Joseph H. Choate and W. W. Faller. e EIGHT-HOUR ADVOCATES. Gompers and Other Labor Leaders at Work in Ohio. CINCINNATI, Osnro, Juns 8.—President Samuel Gompers of the Federation of Labor addressed 10,000 people at the La- goon yesterday in ths advocacy of the eight-hour working day. A. Cattermaul, chairman of the executive board of the Car penters’ and Joiners’ Union, made an address last night in the same strain. Other prominent labor leaders were here in consultation with President Gompers. Among them was Vice-President Han- rahan of the Locomotive Firemen and En- gineers. The proceedings were behind closed doors. ——— Peculiar Kailroad Accident. CHICAGO, ILL, June 8.—Three men and one woman were more or less seri ously hurt Monday when a rail which w being loaded on a flatcar was struck by an express-train on the lllinois Central road.

Party Harmony That Will Insure Proper Protective Tariffs. An Additional Tax to Be Placed on Sugar From Countries That Pay Bountles. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 6.—At the Republican caucus to-day nearly every Republican Senator at the capital was present. Much time was devoted to the consideration of the sugar schedul.e Otber features in the new tariff bill over which there are differences were not reached. No agreement was reached in regard to the Hawaiian treaty and the committee is expected to report some amendments or a provision which wiil not leave the matter in any uucertain condition or ab- solutely abrogate the existing reciprocity treaty. An important feature of the caucus was the determination reached to vote to- gether as a pary, which insures favorable act.on on ali contested schedules and the passing of the bill as approved by the ma- jority. This determination was reached upon a suggestion made by Senator Thurs- ton, which led to the most interesting in- cident of the caucus. There had been several references to the meeting asa *‘conference.”’ Thurston objected to this designation, saying that conferences never bound any one, and be wanted it definitely under- stood whether this meeting was to be binding or merely a friendly chat without | further resuits, for if it was not to bind all Senators on all schedules he would not agree to abide by the decision upon the sugar question. This speech brought Senatcr Hanna to his feet with an earnest plea for party har- mony and united «ffort on all the features of the biil. He referred to the apvarent divisions at present existing in the Senate ) time a perfect under- standing was eached. Senator Thurston then put his sugges- tion in the shape of a motion to the effect that the agreement of the caucus should be binding upon all Republican Senators, and it carried by a large majority. The main propositions of the sugar schedule wi those fixing the rate on re- finea sugar. There were three of these provositions. The one adopted, fixing the rate at 195 cents per pound, in place of 1.875 as fixed by the House bill, was sug- gestcd by Senator Spooner. Eenator Per- kins suggested 13.16, and Senator Wel- lington the rate of the Honse bill. The last amendments were voted down viva voce, and the Spooner amendment adopted by an aimost un animous vote. There was no especial effort to maintain the amendment originally offered by the Finance Committee, and no proposition was made to that effect by any one. Sen- ators Allison and Aldrich expressed the opinion that the schedule as prepared by their committee was equitable and that its provisions were misunderstood. The text of the new sugar schedule is as follows: Sugars not above 16 Dutch standard in color, tank bottoms, syrups | of cane juice, melada, concentrated molasses, tested by the polariscope, not above 85 degrees, 1cent per pound, and | for every additioual degree shown by the polariscopic test three one-hun- aredths of 1 cent per pound additional, and fractions of a degree in proportion; and on sagarabove No. 16 Dutch standard in color and on all sugar which has gone through a process of refining 1 cent and ninety-five oue-hundredths of 1 cent per pound; molasses testing above 40 degrecs and not above 56 degrees, 3 cents per gallon; testing 56 degrees and above, 6 cents per gallon. Sugar drawings and sugar sweepings shall be subject to duty as molasses or sugar, as the case may be, according to polariscopic test. Sugars, tank bottoms, syrups, cane juice, melada, concentrated melada and concrete and concentrated molasses, the product of which pays, directly or indirectly, & bounty on the export thereof, whether imported direct'y and in condition as ex- ported therefrom, or otherwise, shall pay in addition to tho foregoing rates a duty | equal to such bounty, or so much thereoi as may be in excess of any tax collected by such country upon such exported ar- ticle or upon the beet or cane from which it was produced. A new paragraph is added, reading as follows: “That the duty on molasses, clayed, jozgery and other sugars testing not above 87 degrees by the polariscope shall be one-tenth of 1 per cent per pound less than those imposed by the preceding paragraph on the corresponding tests of sugar.” No agreement was reached respecting another caucus, but Pritchard stated that one would be held to fix rates on tobacco. The changes in the rates on wool, tea, cigarettes and beer proposed last week at the McMillan dinner will be carried out | without furthur caucus. Senators Gorman and Vest unite in say- ing that as far as Democratic action is con- cerned the tariff bill can be disposed of in the Senate by June 20, and that is the date now generally fixed for its passage. — IHIRIY DAYS FUR 0'COSNOR. Must Ctear the o Postoffice Lot in Short Order. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—The Secretary of the Treasury to-day notified the Collector of Customs of S8an Francisco and John H.O'Connorof thatcity that the latter had been awarded the contract f or the purchase and removal of the build- ings on the Seventh and Mission-streets Postoffice lot, San Francisco, and that the removal of the buildings must be com- pleted within thirty days from the date of approval of the bond, which is to be in the sum of $5000. Assistant Sccretary Spalding’s letter to Congressman Loud a week ago stated that bids for commencement of actual work on the new building would be ready to ad- vertise on June 15, but the supervising architect said to THE CALL correspondent that the work had been rushed by order of the Secretary, and that the advertise- ments would be ready to publish on Thursday next. a S BERET T Trade With Hawail, WASHINGTON, D.

C., June 8.—Secre- tary Long to-day issued orders directing that the battle-ship Iowa be put in com- mission at League Island yard on June 16. Captain W. T. S8ampson, former chief of ordnance, will command her, with Lieu- tenant-Commaader R. T. Rogers as exec- utive officer. Captain Sampson will proceed with the Towa to Newport, where he will have her torpedo outtit installed preparatory to a biief cruise befors joining the North At- lantic station. The addition of the Iowa to the fleet will lead early in the summer to the retire- ment of the New York temporarily as flagship, she having performed continuous service for four years in this capacity. The new battle-ship is the most formi- dalle vessel of the new navy and is gen- | erally recognized by experts as the most capable vessel of her displacement. Ord- nance officers say her broad-ide discharge is more powerful than that of Euglish vessels of her type 1000 tons larger. Sllgarin g 84N PEDRO HAKBOR CONTRACT. The Matter Brought Befors the President in a Pointed Way. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 8. —Colonel Leighton of St. Louis, one of the promo- ters of the Los Angeles Terminal Railway, saw the Presidentthis morning about the | San Pedro deep barbor contract. He gave the President the factsin the case from beginning to end. President McKinley must have been impressed with his statement, for the matter was brou-ht up by him at the Cabinet meeting to-day. Secretary Alger stated to the President and nis fellow-members of the Cavinet practically what was contained in his let= ter to Congress in response to Senator White's resolution. It is not known what action will be taken, but Senator White is apparently not hcpeful that the contract will be car- ried out until Congress takes further ac- tion. He will not dv anything in fhe mat- ter himseif until the tariff 1s disposed of. e MONTEREY'S MNEW POSTMASTER. W. M. James Wins n o« Field of Half & Dozen Candidates. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—W. W. James will be the next Postmaster of Mon- terey. This has been decided upon. He nad been indorsed by the California | State Senator and the Assemblyman from that district, as well as by many promi- nent and influential citizens of Monterey. Senator Perkins and Representative Loud have for the past three or four days been getting telegrams by the dozen recommending Mr. James. Congressman Loud said to-night that he would have | nothing to say about the appointment, as | Monterey i< not in his district, but | Senator Perkins will recommend the ap- | powztment of James and he will soon suc- | ceed the incumbent, who has tendered his resignation. There has been quite a | rivalry for the office, there being a half dozen candidates in the field. — TO CONIINUE THE FARCE, | Bhrieves’s Trial Postponed on Account of Alleged Sickness. WASHINGTON, D.

C., June 8.—There was a lively little controversy in the Senate to-day duringan executive session, when Senator Perkins moved that the | nomination ofiJonn J. de Haven, as United | Btates District Judge for the Northern Dis- | trict of California, be confirmed. There | was no tight on the Judge personally, but | Benator Chandler was disposed to criticize { Senator Perkins for bringing np such a motion at what he considered an inoppor- tune time, but the Senate was with Per- kins and De Haven was confirmed. T Zubin Captures a Utah Semator. WASHINGTON, D. C.,June 8 —David Lubin of S8acramento, the alleged potitical economist and enthusiast on the subject of an agricuitural exports bounty, is here again exploiting his pet scheme.

Bacon of Georgia Secures an Ad Valorem Duty on Raw Cotton. Flve Democrats and Three Popu- lists Jolned the Republicans In the Vote. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—In the course of his prayer on the opening of the Senate to-day, the acting chaplain, Rev. Hugh Jchnson, invoked a speedy reiurn of contentment and prosperity. and that the condition of the poor and suffering may be ameliorated by the great measure before the Senate. The consideration of the tariff bill was promptly resumed and Allison of Iowa requested that the sugar schedule be passed over. Vest remarked that it was an open se- cret that the majority had made modifi- cations in the sugar schedule and it was important that some should be had as to when the modifica- tions would be presented and when the | scheduie would be taken up. This Jed to a definite statement from Allis There were no open secrets that be knew of, Le said, and he would now announce that the committee proposed to modify the sugar sctedu.e by asking the Senate to disagree to the committee amendments to the House bill, or, if in order, 10 withdraw those amendments and nsert others which he named. Al son stated alco that the committee was | not prepared to present a provision re- lating to sugar imported from tbe Ha- waiian Islands. Under the circumstances be asked that the sugar schedule ve tem- to- morrow. Vest said this would be satisfactory. He said he wanted the consideration of the sugar schedule to proceed to-morrow, as it would be the most tronblesome and irritating in the whole bill and it ought to | be got out of the way. Schedule G, relating to agricultural products and provisions, was taken up. Jones of Arkansas moved to strike out the following five paragraphs relating to live animals, cattle, hogs, horses, mules and sheep, and substituting a provision covering all the live animals at 20 per cent ad valorem. Rejected—22 to 38. When the agricultural schedule was taken up Senators Jones of Arkansas and Vest of Missouri made strong efforts to have the duty on cattle, barley, wheatand otber products reduced on the ground that the high duties on them were unnecessary and merelv intended to hoodwink the farmers, but they failed each time and the committee rates were adopted. McEnery, Rawlins and Tillman voted against their party on most of these motions. . Senator Bacon of Georgia offered an amendment placing a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw cotton and it was taken up and discussed. Chilton of Texas opposed the proposed duty, saying it would do no good. Egyp- tian cotton did not compare with cotton grown in this country. McLaurin of South Carolina took issue with Chilton and said Egyptian cotton competed with certain cotton grown in South Carolina. Vest said the Bacon amendment would be adopted, as the Reoublicans would vote for it because it forwarded th: scheme for breaking up the Solid South. Vest said he would not have voted for the Chicago platform if it bad meant what Bacon claimed ior it. Jones of Arkansas opposed the amend- ment, arguing along the same lines as Chiiton. He said the manulfacturers, be- fore the bill passed, would insist upon an increased compensatory duiy on manu- factured cottons, and the Democrats who supported the Bucon amendment would have no answer to make to the request. The debate on Bacon's amendment to put a duty of 20 per ceni on raw cotton lasted nearly three hours. The amend- ment was voted for by the Republicans without exception, by tive Democrats— Bacon, Clay, McEnery, McLuurin and Tillman—and by Populists Allen, Heit- feld and Stewart. One Populist, Kyle, voted' with the Democrats. The amend- | ment was adopted by the larzest majority any amendment to the bill has yet received—ayes 42, noes 19. Paragravhs 226 (macaroni), 27 (oats) and 228 (oat meal) were agreed to without question. Paragraph 229 (rice) caused a long dis- cussion, in the course of which Allen spoke of the breakup in the Democratic ranks to-day and yesterday, and advised the Democratic Senators to get together again on the tariff and legislation so that three years from now they could unite with the Populists under the Populist banner and rescue the country from the domination of the Republican party. He regretted to see in this tariff matter every man for himself. “‘And tie devil take the hindmost,” Mills put in. “Every man,” Allen continuel, ms disposed to run his arm into the grab- bag up to the shoulders and take every- thing he can get.” Chilton advised A'len that the Populist party, as well as the Democrats, should get together on the tariff, and he remind- ed him that a Populist (Jones of Nevada) bad beid the balance of power in his financial committee, ana Jones and an- other Populist (Stewart) had voted for the highest duties, Stewart broke into the discussion. He said the difference between the Demo- cratic and Republican parties wasn't on the tariff, but on the financial issue. The Republican party was for the gold stand- srd, while the Democcrats, Populists and Free-silver Republicans were for tue resteration of the coinage laws as they were in the better days of the Kepublic. Witbout taking action on the rice parp- graph the Senate, at 5:40 o'clock, ad- journed. WHITEWASHING oF DE. BROWN. Sam Francisco’s soiled Minivier Em- braced by the Windy City. CHICAGO, IrL., June 8.—The Chicago Association of the Congregational Churches has decided to admit into fall membership Rev. C. O. Brown, formerly of San Francisco. The vote admitting him was 94 to 25. The fact that Brown had been convicted by the Bay Confer- ence of San Francisco made his admis- understanding | sion to toe Chicago conference a matter of doubt and caused a very lively discus- ion among the clergymen present. The | bitterest speech made was that of Rev. George R. Wallace, formerly of Portland, Or., who smd: “I was on the Pacific st while Dr. Brown was going throngh his trouble. I believed him innocent. When the papers were publishing ac- counts of bim being on a_junketing tour he was in my home in Portland, conse- crating my child to a Christian life.” He said that ceriain factions in San Francisco had hounded Dr. Brown's pre- QGecessor to death, and continued: *“If I wanted to go to hell for a trial I would go to San Francisco. Thsoe who persecuted | Dr. Brown are a dirty, sensual, wretched | erowd. The Chicago’ association should | be iu a better business than taking up the washing of their dirty linen.’” —_—— RAILROAD POULING. Representatives of Freight Bureaus Meet and Discuss the Subjret. CINCINNATI, Ono, June 8.—The sub- ject of railroad pooling legislation and the pending action of Congress s under dis- cussion to-day by representatives of freight bureaus and similar organizations, who have assembled here in response to a call issued by the Cincinnati Freight Bureau, the Memphis Freight Bureau and the Trades League of Philddelpnia. The meeting was called to order this morning at the Grand Hotel, aelegates being present from Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Philadeiphia, Indianapolis, Boston, Bt. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Savannah, Denver, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Memphis, Richmond, Charleston, Balii- more and New Orleans. The majority of ihe delegates, of course, are in favor of some form of legalized pooling, but there is some difference o! opinion ss to whether the Foruker bill or the Chicago_bill, both of which arenow vending in Congress, should be supporied. Reports from 2100 organizations of ship- pers are also javorable to pooling, The Chicago bill provides for a more rigid | control of pooling operations by the ln- terstate Commerce Commission than does the Foraker bill. e PECULIAR FPOISONING CASE. A Whole Family in the Throes of Death From Paris Gre ! OWENSBORO, Ky, June 8.—There | was a very sad tragedy tbis morning at | Viinyton, a small place eleven miles from | here. Jerome Smeathers, his wile and several children were poisoned. One | ehild is dead, two are expected to die at | any moment and the father and mother cannot possibly survive, The poisoning was accident: It s pears that a sack containing Paris green was left on a shelf, under which was the water bucket from which the family was accustomed to drink. During the night | rats gnawed the sack, and from the nole they made some of the contents of the sack dropped into the water bucket. The water from the bucket was used at break- fast, and very soon alterward the differ- | ent'members of the family were seizel with violent pains in the abdominal re jons. Some of them drank bat Ltue water. The child that died, however, had taken two full glasses. At first they | thought it was something wrong with | the food, but a litile search showed the | telltale hole in the sack of Paris green. Neighbors were called in as guickly a3 possible, but before anything could be | done one of the children was dead and the | other two were unconscious. The terri- ble affair has cast a gloom on the sur- rounding neighborhaod,as the people were liked and had never had any neighborly quarrels. e KELIEF ¥OK MEW YURK’S POOR. First Installment of Baroness Hir<ch’s Gift dvailable. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8.—Myer S. Isaac, president of the Baron de Hirsch fund, has received a draft for $250,000, the first installment of the $1,000,000 given by the Baroness de Hirsch for the benefit of the poor of this city. Nothing has as yet been definiiely decided by the trustees of the Hirsch fund as to the manner in | which this million will be used. Mr. Isaac says the money will be used to im- prove the conditions of the poor in New | York in any way which experience should dictate. The work now being done with | the fuuds given will be extended and an | effort made to better the condition of the tenement-ho dwellers. Mr. Isaac and his coworkers are fally alive 10 the danger of forcing charity on people, and also to the necessity of ex- treme care in selecting ihose worthy of assistance. Most of the direct aid is dis- tributed trough the medium of the trade schools subported by the Hirsch fund, cases requiring assistance being reported through the instructorsof these institu- tions. The chief object of the money ziven by tha Baroness is to encourage dwellers in the crowded sections of the city to migrate into the country, and the trustees will probably devote ‘& large portion of the money to developing the work they have | already begun of enabling those disposad to agricuiture to buy and stock their farm, de SUPREME LODG o U W Encouraging Reports Submitted on its Opening at Milwaukee.

NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8—A dis- patch to the Herald from Buenos Ayres | says: Serious threats and demonstrations | against President Moraes of Brazil have been made in Sao Paulo, accordiag to the Herald's correspondent in Rio de Janeiro. In several instances the military were ordered out to aid the police in quelling disorder. Much disorder has occurred in the Bra- zilian Congress over the diplomatic corre- spondence with France in regard to the disputed territory of Amapa. The s, tion was caused by the refusal of the ister of State to communicate the details of tbe cor ndence to the Chamber. The Government Military School has been closed as a result oi the insubordina- tion caused by designing politicians and army men. —_— Chinamen Are Pouring In. TORREON, Mex., June 8.—Several car- loads of Cninese have passed through this town within the past few days heaced north, Itis the belief that they will be ssed over the border into the United tates in violation of the exclusion act. Two Government detectives from San Francisco have come here to watch the Chinese moyement. There is no doubt that large numbers of Chinese are smug- gled into the United States over the south- ern border, but the boundary line is so long that 1t isdifficult to watch it. The American Government has of iate become oused to the necessity of watching thes llnn. and will iry to siop them. CHIEF CONLIN BARS SLUGGING New York Police Ready to Stop the Big Fight. Sharkey and Maher Both Pro- fess to Be Confident of €uccess. If Tom Wins He Can Secure Heavy Backing for a Go With Fitz- simmons. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8—Unless the police interfere in the heavy-weight boxing contest between Peter Maner and Tom Sharkey at the Palace Athletic Club to-morrow night there will be a decisive | result, as the men are matched for twenty- five rounds. Chiet of Police Conlin said to-aay; I have decided that there must be no slug- ging at the fight. The law expressly for- bids roughness or brutality.
