Major Winchell he vis- with the avowed and tion to learn from that lips whether or not pongible for the edi- Mi ial in.!hé‘ i 1d_also whether or riot the Souther ific Railroad own- ed the Post. M: Winchell 1s not the first man who have these ques all predecessors h so far as direct cc cerned, but in his o believes that Mr. Milis, by kis manner and tone of negation, really did mean to affirm and acknowledge the goft im- peachment. If the Word of the major is to be taken in this weighty contro- had « yearning to solved, but like still in the dark firmation is con- mind he firmly versy, then the manner Mr. Mills was anything but gentiemaniy, and the major had occasion t. so inform the railroad man before leaving. Yet, by his own acknowledgment wWin. chell confessed that he thought the head of the land department of the railroad was a good man, for on de- parting from the interview he askeq for the prayers of Mr. Mills viding Mr. Mills was a praying man. It is of record that Mr. Milis jg g praying man. But probably he does not consider that the Salvation Army belongs to that same class of Ch jans as compose the church to Mr. Bryan belongs. It will be rexn. bered in his letter to a certain up-coun- try editor regarding a certain . upon which Mr. Bryan is said to ha ridden, that Mr. Mills spoke glowingl of the “aristocratic’” membership of Ms church. The Salvation Army does n} £0 much on its aristocracy and protA ably herein may lie the key to whole situation as regards the differ- ence between these two estimable gen- tlemen. Mr. called upon by Major Winchell treated the gentleman with all due de- ference, and notwithstanding the ab- rupt and even harsh manner of ap- prodch on the part of the visitor, demeaned himself in a most forbearing manner and even soothed the ruffled feelings of the major to such an ex- tent that upon the close of the interest- ing meeting the major was so far con- Vinced of the great goodness of the man upon whom he first looked as an adversary, that he besought his pray- ers for the welfare of the army in its present work. On this point, as well as on the tenor of the questions asked, there is no dif- ference of opinion between the two gentlemen, but as regards the subject matter of the intervening time there is a broad chasm. Winchell says that Mills tacitly admitted that the Southern Pacific road owns the Post, and that he That| ave and mild; that there | True, according to Mr. | language for which he is | stories regarding | the| Mills avers that when he was | he | he | (Mills) wrote the editorial tion.

David Grant, an Ex-Convict, and George Hay Caughtin the Act. David Grant, an - ex-convict, and George Hay, two of the gang of fly- paper artists, were arrested early yes- sion streets by Policeman R. J. O’Don- nell and booked at the City Prison on a charge of attempt at burplary. They had pasted a piece of flypaper on the window of Bemer & Kehlen- beck’s grocery and were about to crack the glass when O'Donnell cap- tured them. For months complaints have been received at police headquarters from grocers and cigar dealers of their windows having been broken during the night and the contents stolen, and a sharp lookout has been kept for the thieves. Two other members of the gang, John McDonnell and “Chick” Boyle, are doing time in the County Jail, the former for petty larceny and the lat- ter for vagrancy. —e———————— No Railroad Medals Just Yet.

Quang Lee, the Proprietor, As- saulted by an Unknown Robber. While He'Lay Prostrate His Assail- ant_Relieved Him ‘6f. His Money. Cne of the most daring robberies re- ported. to- the police for some time was committed yesterday . forenoon. in - a junkshop kept by a Chinaman at 1005 Sixth street. X Quang :Lee, the. proprietor, -was, “the. victim. Shortly: after. 11 o'clock yesterday morning”a ycung ‘mahn, ‘for whom -the police are looking, visitéd the junkshop and offered-to sell .the proprietor some old brass which he had in-a sack. ‘While .the -Chihaman’ was examining the ‘brass the stranger struck him over the head with some blunt.instrument, felling him to the floor. As he lay prostrate the desperate T er searched his pockets, securing $7 75, all the money he had. He then ran from the store and disappeared down Sixth street. After recovering consciousness the victim of the murderous assault visited police headquarters and told his tale of woe to the officer in charge. He de- 25 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, slim built and weighing about 130 pounds. He was clean shaven and wore a dark woolen suit and light stiff hat. A short time after the commission of |the bold crime the police arrested a young man who answered the descrip- tion of the robber. He was taken to the City Prison and locked up in the ed a charming picture as they stood around their mother.

Mrs. | Richter got ..excitéd when she saw him and declared she would not live with him again. Her sister remon- strated with her. telling her how good a husband she had, but it had no ef- fect upon her. -Finally she was pre- vailed upon to go home. ? About two years ago Mrs:.Richter had to be sent to the Napa Insane Asylum, but ‘was ‘released . as cured . three. months later. E ———— SEVERELY BURNED. @: F.

Last night the Chinaman vis- ited the prison, but was unable to iden- tify the suspect. “He "is not the right man,” replied the junk-dealer, as he carefully sur- veyed the prisoner. “I could not be mistaken.” The Chinaman then re- marked that the robber was a trifle taller than the suspect and wore gif- ferent clothes. He is positive he can identify him if he is arrested. Several storekeepers in the vicinity of the junkshop also got a good look at the robber. Before entering the place he looked around, evidently to see whether 2 policeman was in sight. Their description given of him tallies exactly with that given by the junk- man. HER MIND AFFECTED.

The programmes for the great com- petition for the Phebe Hearst architec- tural plans for the University of Call- fornia have just been issued and with maps, plans and photographs of the grounds will be distributed throughout | the world. Copies will be sent to the | Ministers of Foreign Affairs every- where, to the Secretaries of State of each State in the Union and to the| Mayor of every city of importance in the country. This competition was originated to secura the most elaborate set of plans available for buildings to replace the old ones which will soon have outlived their period of usefulness and for the | beautifying and better laying out of | the extensive grounds surrounding the | university. The jury selected to judge the pre- liminary competition consists of five of the best known architects in the world—R. Norman Shaw of London, J. L. Pascal of Paris, Paul Wallot of Dresden and Walter Cook of New York. J. B. Reinstein will represem" the board of regents. The preliminary | competition will be decided at Ant- | werp, Belgium, and the final one in this city. B Presidio Club Incorporate: Letters of incorporation for the “Pre- sidio Club” were filed with the County Clerk yesterday. The club 1s organized for the purpose of maintaining a club- | house and a 'lbr.rr for its members and | to promote lal intercourse among them.

Attorneys Deuprey and Boardman walked into “the -Circuit Court room. Only Judge Hawley, the clerk and the bailiff were present in addition to the attorneys.: Acting as spokeésman, Deuprey said: : “If your Honor please, we have here a petition for a writ of habeas cor- pus in Durrant’s case which we would like to have you consider.” Judge Hawley said that he would rot listen to the matter on account of the fact that he was not familiar | with the case and had made prepara- tion to leave town at once. Boardman then tried his hand at persuasion, | result, except that | Judge Hawley consented to leave court open until the afternoon, with the expectation that Judge Morrow At 1 p. m. Judge Morrew had not instructions, wanted to close the court room, but Marshal Baldwin waited with the attorneys until 1:15 p. m.; No Judge appearing court then stood adjourned until next Monday morning at 11 o'clock. Judge Hawlev had con- sented previously to an understanding that the application had been formally presented. The next resort of the attorneys for the condemned man was to the Dis- trict Court. The manner in which they failed to get the petition heard there is interesting, to say the least. Attorney Boardman learned fromthe bailiff that Judge de Haven would ap- | | be established from Sydney and from | watch on them, to guard against any effort to cheat the gallows. Mrs. Durrant remained at the ‘death chamber for about an hour. She com- plained at not being abie to greet her son in the usual way, and told the guards that she and her husband had planned to bring over a New Year din- ner to the prison, and the three would enjoy it together. She was told that it would do her no good to bring it, as her son would not be allowed outside the cell, and she could get no nearer him than she was to-day. Mrs. Dur- rant said she still had hopes of keep- ing her son from the gallows, but she said it with a despairing sigh. Durrant chatted with his guards all day long in the same unconcerned way. He reviewed some of the evidence that was given in his trial, and told of dis- crepancies in the testimony. He still has hopes that he will not be led to the gallows, and maintains that. if he has to go he will die innocent of the crimes for which the law will make him give up his life. FORTNICHTLY STEAMERS. Change of Schedule by Oceanic Steamship Company That Will Benefit Australia. A decided change in the time-table is soon to be made by the Oceanic Steamship Company ‘plying between San Francisco and Sydney and touch- ing en route at Honolulu, Apia and Auckland. The steamship Mariposa, that was to have sailed from here on March 3, will, by inauguration of the new schedule, leave here on February 24. And all succeeding sailing days of other boats of this line will be simi- larly adjusted to the new arrangement. The new pian will make it possible for the steamers leaving here to carry European mails brought to New York by the fast Campania in time to catch the Australian steamer here and make close connections. The proposed change of schedule is most effective at the Australian.end of the line, where for a long" time the Oceanic Steamship Company and - its competitors, the Canadian-Australian line, running from Sydney by way of ‘Wellington,: New Zealand, Fiji Islands and Horfolulu to Vanccuver, has had sailing days that coincided, that were close’ together or that were otherwise | variable -as competition dictated. The Australian Govérnment has recently, | however, made such regulations with respect to the Canadian-Australian line that hereafter the sailing days of that company steamships will be every twenty-eight days, alternating | every two weeks with the Oceanic Company’s steamers. Thus there will New Zealand a regular fortnightly | steamship service with the Pacific Coast of North Amierica. By this new | plan there will be fewer conflicts, less injurious competition and for Austra- lia.a much more satisfactory service. The course of the Oceanic Steamship Company’s line from Sydney to San Francisco is 7210 miles. The com- pany’s steamers are the Moana, Ala- meda and Mariposa. _The course of the Canadian-Austra- lian line’s steamers, the ‘Warrimoo, Miowera and Aorangi, from Sydney to Vancouver, is about 7600 miles in length. —_—— TWO BAD SMALL BOYS. George Jones and George Bird Take a Horse and Buggy. George Jones, 13 years of age, and pear in all probability in the court room at 3 p. m. Accordingly he laid all his papers down on the desk and retired into the room of the United | States Marshal, across the hallway. He was there busily engaged in tele- phoning when Judge de Haven walked into the court and took his seat. “Is there any case to be brought to | the attention of the court to-day?” | he inquired of the bailiff. - On receiv- | ing the answer that the book was | blank he remarked: | ““The court will then stand adjourn- ed until next Monday at 11 a. m.” | With those words the Judge made his exit from the room, and it was closed to intruders by the- bailiff. At ten minuates before the hour Attorney Boardman started for the courtroom. He was met in the hallway and assured that the court had adjourned. His surprise and bewilderment were evi- dent, but he lost no time in leaving for General Dickinson’s office as soon as the bailiff had unlocked the door and permitted him to regain possession of The application for a writ of habeas | corpus was based upon the facts that | of shabeas corpus, the contention being that the law gives the right of appeal from a refusal to. issu® such a writ, ‘and further, that an appeal is pending before the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the State. These were the principal points made in: the document. The Justices of the Supreme Court yesterday denied the application of Durrant for a certificate of probable cause, the denial being signed by Chief Justice Beatty and Justices Van Fleet, McFarland, Henshaw and Temple. Thus is shattered what is' believed to be the last hope of the murderer to stave off the fatal day, January 7, on | which, according to the sentence of Su- perior Judge Bahrs, he must be hanged. In the petition settled by this deci- sion the petitioner assailed the juris- diction of Judge Bahrs, holding that he had no right to pass sentence while there was an appeal still pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. This assumption was based on appeal was decided by the highest tri- bunal Durrant was taken before the Superior Judge, who passed the death sentence before the remittitur of that court arrived in the Federal court in this city. The defendant’s attorneys made an attempt to get out a writ of habeas corpus. which Federal Judges Morrow and De Haven refused to is- sue, and Judge Morrow directed the clerk of the court to refuse to accept or file the documents in an appeal from this decision. The prisoner's attorneys claimed that that appeal existed, whether the clerk accepted or filed the papers or not, and that while this al- leged appeal existed the Judge of the Superior Court had no jurisdiction.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal., Dec. 31.—For the first time since Durrant has been a prisoner his mother was not allowed to embrace him when she called at the cell. The door of the cell was not opened for her, but instead a low rocking chair was placed for her close to the bars and she was allowed to converse with Theodore as long as she pleased. Inside of the heavy bars is a closely woven wire screen and she could not even touch the hand of the prisoner. The guards kept a close ‘Whaling Fleet in Danger. 1t is predicted that the vessels of the whal- ing fleet, most of whose undsrwriters are in San Francisco, have been caught in the ice, and some may not last through the siege.
