Story ol the Mysterious Statement Sent to hli Attorney Angers 11 tin. San Francisco, Oct 12. The story of tbe mysterious statement of Durrant sealed in an envelope marked "to be opened if I am forward so prominently by District Attorney Barnes, does not seem to worry the defense's lawyers or the defendant so much as it angers them. Durrant himself, is net only wrathful, but professes to be greatly surprised at the conduct of tbe reporter upon whose testimony the prosecution will rely to eitab hah its point "I do not like to say anything against a woman," said Durrant, "but my disappointment is so keen that I I cannot keep silent." "The reporter had been kind to me in many ways -has given me repeated assurances of belief in my innocence and has often said that I had her prayers for a speedy termination of this terrible She has repeatedly sought expressions of opinion from me. Adhering to an inflexible rule of not denying br endorsing whether for or against me I always gave her the same answer.

'Copyrighted 1895 by the Associated Press.) Loxdos, Oct 1 2. f-TuereLs no denying that the condition of affairs at Gonstan tiaople daring the past week has been most serious, so much so tbat people are wondering why it is not still more alarm ing to-day.

The eastern question reached quite a crisis when the envoys of the sir powers presented what seems to have been very much like an nltima i to the Porte, iu the shape of an identical note; and when tbe Turkiih by one wriggle or another, ailed to reply, it looked very much as if the itish fleet of nineteen warships, peacefully rocking and pitching a1; its -Anchorage off the is'and of Lemnos, within convenientdi8t4T.ee of the mouth of Dardanelles, would be called upon to still farther impress upon tbe Turkish mind that Europe is in earnest in de mand.ng freform for Armenia and protection for the Christian subjects of the Porte. If there is any doubt as to the grave turn of events which affairs in the east glided into this week, it may be promptly dispelled by the statement that the situation was serious enough to call for the sudden return from Dieppe, France, of the Marquis of Salisbury. Premier of Great Britain, who was enjoying the autumn breezes at his estate near that seaport and in the equally harried re turn from Switzerland of the Eight Honi George J. 'Uchen, First Lord of the Admiralty and the call for a cabinet council which is to be held early next week. The British Mediterranean squadron, as cabled to the Associated Press, from Constantinople, has bden off the island of Lemnoa, not far from the entrance to the Straits of Dardanelles, for two weeks past.

The ordinary cruise of the it is true, would have brought the 1 British warships to this island; but, tbe truiae would have been continued and no prolonged stop would, under ordinary circumstances, hare been made so near the I- Dardanelles. Therefore, it is not surprising that even the Turks have beooma convinced of the fact that' the ships of Gibraltar now en the Island of Lemnos are there under direct instructions from the British government. Although it outwardly seems 'as if there is perfect accord be, tween tbe six powers in regard to the Eastern question, the position of France is exciting some uneasiness in certain circles and the question whether France wJl attempt to goto war is occupying many mindi in England as well in Ger-: manr. the general opinion being that she EUROPE IS the In this cornec ion it is an ineretine fact that since tbe legislature refused to appropriate money for the maintenance of State militia, nearly evry company of ehvzen soldiers iu tbe State has dis banded.

St. Paul, Oct. 12. Local sporting circles are stirred up over the prospect for the pugilistic contest for points announced for to-morrow between Dick Moore and Danny Meed ham. Gov.

Clouzh has, by proclamation, called on all peace officers to prevent the fight, and says be will call out the militia it neces sary. Tbe managers of tbe right say they fully expect to pull off tbe fight as announced. The fight is for points, for a of $1,500 and both men are reported to be in fine condition. It has been arranged to take tbe crowd down tbe river on a steamer to some unknown point where the fight will take place, and the auth orities will attempt to stop the crowd from going as being an "unlawgul as semblage' whatever the result, trouble of some sort seems certain. MASSACHUSETTS REFORM CLUB.

rremendoas Oration to Secretary Car lisle Last Night. Boston, Oct 12. The meeting of the Massachusetts Reform Club at the Vendome to-night was a tremendous ovation to Secretary Carlisle and his speech on the finances of the govern ment, under the present administration was listened to with tbe greatest interest. The Secretary upon his arrival in the city was welcomed by the dinner com mittee of the club and escaped to the hotel where a reception wis tendered him by the officers of the club. An hour was spent in general introduction and handshaking and shortly after 8 o'clock those present filed into the large banquet room.

At the conclusion of the banquet, president Hale rapped for order. "we are Democrats, with Grover said, and Republicans with Teddy Roosevelt Sometimes we are Republicans with juimunds, some times with Sherman and even with Greeo.haJg-3. We takeour property where- ever we nod it But we sometimes re ject bad material. Tbe guest of tbe evening was then in trod aced. He was received with three cheers.

THE DUCHESS PtUUNE MATHILDA Though the Wife ot a Wealthy Physi cian. She Attended the Convention, Wearing a Flaming Red BloHse and Applauding the Wildest Utterances of the Speakers Her Romantic Mar riageQuestion or Sugar: Bounties Again Under Discussion. (Copyrighted 195 by the Associated Press).

Berlin, Oct. 12. The Socialist Con vention at Breslau has been followed by the general public with a great deal more interest than was the case with the con vention of 1884 at Frankfort. Th9 warring elements within the cialist party have been sharply, arrayed against each other. The younger, more practical and moderate wins: of the party displayed great strength.

The convention was in accor dance with the special instructions Issued by Herr Von (Joeller, the Prussian Min ister of the Interior, and was 1 under se vere police supervision. Consequentlv, the noisy party demonstrations which had been planned could not be carried out A sensational feature of the con vention was the presence of the Duchess Pauline Mathilda of Wurtemberg, now the wife of a-wealthy physician of Breslau, named Willim. This ladvf who ia decidedly eccentric, was attired in a flaming red blouse, and she manifested her intense socialism by frequently ap plauding the most excited utterances of the speakers. t. Tbe marriage of Duchess Pauline Ma thilda of Wurtemberg to Dr.

Willim, was a most romantic flair. The Doctor, who is a handsome and amiable man, was summoned to Carlsruhe to attend a member of tha Ducal family of Wurtemburg, who was seriously ill This was iu 1880, and the Duchess Pau line, who was frequently thrown into the society of the doctor in the course of his professional visits to the castle, fell in love with him and flaally notified her family tbat she intended to marry the good looking physician. At first the family strongly opposed the match tut when it was seen that the Dachess would have her way in any case, a re luctant consent was given to the mar riage. At the wedding ceremony the clergyman who officiated pointed out the different positions in life of tbe young couple, remarking, incidentally, that the Duchess had come down to the rank of her husband. This caused the bride to exclaim warmly that she did not share the clergyman view of the case and that on tbe contrary, she looked up to her husband.

Contrary to general expectations, the marriage has been a most i happy one and the Duchess assists her husband very! effectively in his practice, accompanying him especially in his visits to poor patients and bestowing gifts upon those she finds to be most in need of assistance. All the persons arrested in connection with the Cologne espionage case have been taken to Leipsic where the will be tried in tbe new Reichstag building. The principal defendant! is a man named Paul Schoren, a native of the Duchy of Luxemburg but a naturalized Frenchman. He graduated iu Paris at the Ecole Centrale which be left with an engi jeerrdiploma. Schoren, it appears, had flnmher Qf Confederates in Luxemburg; but, the most im portant of them seemed to have escaped to Switzerland, having in some unexplained manner been warned that they were under suspicion and that tbeir arrests were contemplated Tbe evidence against all the prisoners in any case suffices to insure their conviction.

The persons in custody are kept strictly isolated in the prison at Leipsic. Tbe Question ol sugar touuties Is again under discussion, international negotiations for tbe abolition of the export premiums on beet sugar being vigorously pushed, and it is hoped tbat France and Austria will. agree to this proposition. If the negotiations fail, a re organisation of sugar legislation Is contem plated. As the law stands, Germany is bound to cease paying bounties in 1897.

The North German Gazette to night makes the significant announcement that Prince Lobanoff Rostovsky, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, who arrived here to day from Paris, will have an audience with the Emperor of Hubertus- stock, and that tbe Chancellor, Prince Hobeclobe, will a'so be present there as be reports to bis majesty on current ar fairs earlier in the day. Naturally, the presence of the Chancellors of the two empires at the Emperor's bunting seat is regarded as something more than an or dinary coincidence. A BIG STRIKE THREATENED. Unless it is Averted Over 100,00 Workmen Will ho Idle. London, Oct 12.

The threatened shipping strike at Belfast and on the Clyde will be a big affair unless the trouble is soon averted. The seat of the strike is at Belfast, where the engineers are striking tor Higher wages in view of improved trade. If the Clyde yards close. as expected, over 100,000 workmen will be out of work and it is estimated that work win do suspenaea on li3 vessels now building in the Clyde yards, with an sg gregate tonnage ot 230,000. Mnch anxiety prevails about the Tvneside and Northeast coast where a stoppage of woik would mean the dismissal en gineers.

PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE And the City Under the Advice of one ot the 11 -H Lawyers in the State ban Posted a Guarantee That the Fight Will be Brought off Successful I r--A Legal Tangle That mar Give tie Pugilists an Unlooked-for Advantage Gov. Clark's Letters. Chicago, 111., Oct. 12. It is the belief here that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will take plade at Hot Springs, on schedule time.

Presidents M. Dickey, of the Hot Springs railroad was seen by a reporter to-night and said: Of course, I cannot speak as to what action Governor Clark or any judge or other official may take regarding tbe fight It is only necessary to say that sufficient assurance has been received from public and private sources to justify the railroad company in making the necessary preparations to take care of all special cars, building as much sidetrack as may be required. No plac in tbe country is better equipped than Hot Springs for such an emergency and tbe 800 hotels and board ing places of the place are actively getting in shape to properly receive tbe crowd of people expected. Twenty special car parties are being made up in Chicago alone. The total expenditures in preparation for tbe fight, including output for track, extra trains and extra engines, etc, is estimated at $100,000 Ninety cars of lumber are being hauled to the springs fight purposes.

Attention is significantly cillcd to these actions. and the confidence otherwise shown in the prepara' ions. The fact is also pointed out that tbe contract on behalf of Hot Springs has not been made by irrespon sible and speculative sporting men. but by the mayor and city attorney, and may be relied upon, particularly in view ot other developments, to nave made sure of their ground. GOVERNOR CLARK'S LETTERS.

A Legal Tangle That May Give the Faglllstf the Advantage. Little Bock, Oct. 12. Gov. Clark's letters to Jndga Sheriff Haunt and Dan Stuart, together with hi) telegrams to Jim Oorbett and Bob Fitx- simmona declaring against the proposed fizht were the subject of much discus sion here to day.

Ever since the Florida Athletic Club changed its base of operations from Dallas to Hot Springs, the public has been on tip-toe for some official utter ance on the subject, but as the days passed and no word came a great many people came to the conclusion that the fight would be allowed to proceed without interference, as it was generally understood that the local peace ulcers at riot springs were favorable to tbe enterprise, and Gover nor Clark had more than occ expressed his conndenee in their ability to pre serve tbe majesty of the law, it being inferred that tbe pugilists would be ar rested and fined after the had taken place The sentiment hire and at Hot Springs is overwbeimrngiy ravorol tbe con test; snd even after the disturbing ele ment and some of Governor Clark's political enemies began a clamcr against i i i it, iew peopie reauy oeuevea mai toe contest would not be posted to take place, Governor Clark's letters have, therefore. created a great sensation, and tbe public is eagerly waiting to see what effect they will have on1 matters at Hot Springs and what the next move will be. It is well known here that personally the Governor is not violently opposed to the Ero posed contest, lie is quoted as aving said recently that seven-tenths of the people in Arkansas wanted it; that two-tenths were indifferent in the mat ter.and that all the clamor raised against it came from the other one-tenth part of the population. When Judge Duffie brought the matter to the Governor's at tentioninan official way.however.he was obliged to act ana be at once began a close investigation of his authority in the premises, which resulted in the let ten referred to. These letters would seem to put a quietus on (he whole matter, but in in vestigating the law, Governor Clark has discovered a legal targle tbat may result in giving the fighters an unlooked for advantage.

While examining the law relating to prize fights, he discovered that tbe act of 1891, making priz. fizht ing a felony, was never passed. The trouble was that the two nooses could not agree on tbe bill and it was sent to a conference committee, and when the report was presented to the House it was adopted simply by a viva voce vote, tbe ayes ana nays not having been called. As the law of 1893 sought to amend this act, it would seem tbat there is no law on the subject of prise fighting in this Diate. i The law relating to riots, unlawful as semblages, etc passed in 1838, confers extraordinary powers upon the Governor ana oookx per naps be brought into requi I sition to cover the case, should rje Gov I em or deem it necessary to go to extreme measures.

By this law, the Governor is I authorized to call out the militia with- out waiting ior a request for assistance 1 from local authorities and is empowered a A- nnl 1 ha otjMpH in tni aa well uin The 8ultan, during the day, sent a mes38g3 to Sir Philip Currie, the British Ambassador, expressing his satisfaction at the success of the measures taken by the Ambassadors to clear the Armenian churches of refugees. La'er, 8ir Philip Carrie had an audience with the 8ultan, and at the latter's request, Osman Beve was sent to Besika Bay. near the en trance to the Dardenelles, to survey sites for forts there. The 'vessels laden with ammunition, have been dispatched to the forts of the Dardenelles, and it is now known beyond a doubt that the work of laying submarine mines in the straits, has commenced.

Athens, Oct, 12 The Greek consul at Trebizond, Armenia, has sent a report to his government in which he says that 400 persons were killed or wounded during the recent conflicts there between tbe Turks and Armenians.

Dispatches to the Navy Department announce the sailing of the Marion from 8an Francisco for Acapulco, Mexico, and the arrival of tbe Marblehead at Naples, whence she will proceed to Alexandretta Pay, Syria, to be near the scene of tbe Turco Armenian trouble.

The Intercollegiate foot-ball season opened on the new athletic grounds of the Washington and Lee University this afternoon with a game between the Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute.

Prince ton defeated Lafayette to-day by a score of 14 to 0. The game was played in a cold and disagreeable rain, which made brilliant work impossible. Lafayette played a strong defensive game, and made several creditable exhibitions of sggres ive work. The Princeton interference was rsgged, owing to the slippery condition of the grounds.

Washington, D. 0., Oct It. The Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department has discovered the existence of a counterfeit ten dollar silver certificate of the series of 1891, check letter bearirg tbe portrait of the late Hon. Thomas A Hendricks. Tbe counterfeit is apparently printed from an etched plate of fair workmanship and the general appearance of the note is very deceptive.

The note has been "doc tored" to give it an aged appearance. Brewster Carriage Cons nan Falls. New Yobk. Oct 12. B.

Carver. luauu jru auout my naving written a mysterious something which I put iu an envelope with a strict injunction dis tinctly written on the outside, that it be returned to me in case of acauittal. or opened in the event of conviction, This stupid story annoyed me, and realizing how much talk this would make, I asked her as a special favor that she make no mention of it in any way, either to the press or to the prosecution. She read ly assented to my request and even went further, "If you doubt 'she said 'Get your Bible.p' "I took that dear book and passed it to her.

She placed it on the wicket door and solemnly swore that she would make no mention of it. "Imagine my surprise when the district Attorney asked me about that envelope. It was not that I cared about the story, It was not true. I had nothing to fear; So little did it impress me after I supposed it was relegated to oblivion where it belonged, that I had absolutely forgotten it. I "I wrote a statement, it is true; everybody knows tbat It was made public but somewhat garbled.

There was nothing mysterious about it, and no envelope enclosed it "The talk of my coolness, my nerve.

I have faith -in his goodness that He win protect me because I am innocent of these frightful crimes.

Another Democratic State Coaveatloa Mar be Called. Salt Laxe, Urah, Oct 12. Serious complications are likely to come up in political affairs in Utah.

Will Henderson, who attempted rape on 14 year-old Minnie Rustis, away from the sheriff and hanged him. There was comparatively little excitement muj other matters by Russia. 8trange to record, the English newspapers are greatly interested in New York elections. The Daily Chronicle, for example, said yesterday: "It will be of supreme interest to the whole world if the bad government of most of the American cities has been a set back for tbe i Democracy everywhere. If New York can reverse her failure in this respect, she will strengthen the Democratic institutions of the world." The recent remarkable influx of gold aal silver into the.

Bank of England is severely taxing the capacity of the "strong rooms" of that great financial institution, and workmen are busily at work building extra steel -cased chambers for the storage of bullion. Incidentally, it is said, that tbe influx of valuable metals indicates a substantial revival of trade. The coming winter season promisee to be the most extravagant known in yea s. The modistesa'e selling many rica velvets and furs and the "new ladies' driving coats are lined with minx. B'g roll sable collars are typical of the present lAvishness.

The Anti Lynching Society has been holding more meetirgs this week and has passed resolutions declaring that "burn-togs, shootings, hangings and other tor- tares" continue to be practiced in America I on persons innocent and guilty and that while uniting with the friends of humanity in the United State in indignant protest agairst tbe atrocities in Eastern countries they fear tbat such protests are "grratly weakened by the action of people of their own race." The resola rions also say that tbe early part of this year should have been marked by a diminution in the number of these mur-4s; but it is claimed within tbe past four months cases of an aggravated na-t tare have occurred, more especially in Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois sndOMo.
