READY FOR ARGU3IEST rnosECLTiox iy tiiij ihjuiantcasu HAS DtT MOIU: IVI I tl Rvldenee Given by Minn Ciinnlnsliitiu, a. Xcwapaier Ileporter AVhere the Defense linn Fulled SAX FUANCISCO, Oct. 23.-After a bitter legal struggle lasting three months, the testimony In the trial of Theodore Durrant is all in and to-morrow the argument of tho case will begin. When court adjourned this afternoon District Attorney Ilarnes announced that he would not then formally close the case for tho people, but wouKI, undoubtedly, do o the ilrst thing to-morrow. Mr, Uames notified the attorneys for the defense that at most he would have but one more witness, whose examination would last but a few moments. The case would have ended in a pyrotechnic display of sensation to-day if the testimony that was introduced had not been printed so often before that It is familiar to everybody. Miss Carrie Cunningham, a newspaper reporter, who visited Durrant at the prison frequently, testified that Durrant told her he saw Blanche Lamont on tha second floor of the belfry, where she was murdered. While engaged in fixing a sun burner, Miss Cunningham said, he told her he heard a suspicious noise in the belfry which attracted his attention. lie crept along tho ceiling of the church until he came to the belfry casing, where he looked through a crack and saw Miss Lamont. Miss Cunningham's testimony was obtained only after a great number of objectlDns made by the defense had been argued and ruled on. An effort was made to secure a statement from the witness with regard to an alleged confession made by Durrant, but the court sustained an objection to the question. On one of Miss Cunningham's visits to the prisoner he is said to have shown her an envelope addressed to his attorneys marked, "To be opened if I am convicted, and to be returned if I am acquitted." The witness was subjected to a rijld cro3-ex-ammatlon. In which an effort was made to show the means to which she had resorted to obtain interviews with Durrant. She aid, at the suggestion of the newspaper by which lit was employed, she expressed the greatest friendship for the prisoner and Ireauently sent him papers, magazines and owers. She denied that she ever took an oath and kissed the Bible after promising Durrant not to pubnsh anything he toll her. She said she promised Durrant she would not. publish anything he told her, and kept her word. Only two witnesses besides 3Ilss Cunningham were examined to-day. Both were physicians. Their testimony was important from the fact that it showed that Durrant did not have the appearance of one who had been partially asphyxiated when he met organist King in the churen. on the afternoon of April 3. King testltlea that Durrant i was pale and trembling when he saw him. rate! King's testimony. Doctors May and ltosensteln, who were examined, testltied that the rirst effect of gas was to flush the face and llvs and inflame the eyes. Durrant, according to his own statement, had not had the symptoms. Physicians also testitted that a man who. for live minute, had teen subjected to fumes of escaping gas from twenty-four Jets would be insensible. The Kvening Post, In commenting on the close of the case, says: "Now that the evidence in behalf of the man charged with the Kmanuel Church murders Is all In. It is fair to compare what has been proved with the promises In the opening statement to the jury, when counsel for the defense said he would prove beyond a. doubt the Innocence of the accused. With arparent sincerity he stated he would furnish an unassailable alibi, whicli would be supported by the strongest kind of testimony. He further said he woulJ Impeach the chief witnesses for the prosecution and even went so1 far as to claim that before the defense was all In it woull show that another man than Durrant was the murderer. He pointed tho linger of suspicion at Rev. John lieorge Uibson. but did not ko so far as to charge him with the strangling of Blanche Lamont and the murder ai.d mutilation of Minnie Williams. How the defense has fa; led Is a matter of recoj. The promised alibi has not been eMabllsr ed and the, testimony of the numercus witnesses called to eustaln it In en indirect way, Impeaches the xtory told by the defendint on the stand. Tho pace in the roll-call, kept by Dr. Cheney. Is all that stand between the pri I oner and the scaffold. If there Is one Juror I of the twelve who believes it correct, the

Stilts

and a sureness of wear that makes j prices are the combination it is and it's a big thing and $12 Suits Youths' prisoner's life will be saved. The prosecution has shown, however, that it is a mere copy and an erroneous one at that. It can easily he appreciated that the. document carries very little weight, especially as it is Impeached by tho negative testimony of stventy-four students and Dr. Cheney, who havo aworn that they have no recolleotlon of Durrani's attendance at the lecture on April 3. Tne efTort of the defense to Impeach the testimony of the leading wltmss fcr tho prosecution amounted to nothing. Tho attempt to prove Durrant's innocence tell Hat, as not a vcsijse of evidence that was presented points tb such a conclusion. In fact, the case of the prisoner was stronger at the close of the case for tho people. o far as Itev. J. O. Gibson I concerned, not a fact has been produce! to connect him with the case in any manner. TALMAGE INSTALLED SOW COPASTOn OF "VASHIGTOVS Fin ST IMIESIIYTKIUATV CIll HCII.

The Cuban expeditions from this country, according to the statements of local leaders, have come to an end by the capture on Sunday at the British island of Ignaugha of one of the most important which has gone from this country for some time. Fifteen of tho twenty-one men captured were acquitted of filibustering at Wilmington, Del., about a month ago. They sailed from New York on Oct. 5 on the Delaware, and landed at lgnaugua expecting to secure passage thence to Cuba. They remained several days without securing the desired transportation. Cubans in New York, becoming annoyed at the nonreoelpt of information of their landing in Cuba, sent to .Nassau, New Providence, for Information. When tho nature of it was received orders were given to return to this country. The men were waiting for c steamer when a. British man-of-war landed some marines and arrested them. They were taken to New Providence, where they are now held us prisoners. Don M. Dickinson's Views. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 3. The News today prints an extended Interview with Hon. Don M. Dickinson on the Cuban question. His expressions show him to have been a close student of Cuban history and Spain's oppressions, and his conclusions are regarded to be to some degree Indicative of the sentiments of the national administration. In the course of the Interview Mr. Dickinson says: "While we must maintain the laws of neutrality, yet the law of humanity is higher, and whether or not tho United States recognizes the belligerency or the independence of Cuba, thl country should certainly Intervene In the interests of civilization to restrain the atrocltlea on persons and property dally perpetrated In the island. This is what Cubans are hoping and ioAlns: for. No law 'su .restrain the ex pressions of om '-natural feeling of sym pathy, nor should it restrain, in my opinion, such an expression from this country. Cuba is at our doors, in the highway of our commerce so near that as the murders go on w e can hear the shrieks of worn n and children, and can see the horrors renewed in Cuba that were practiced by Alva In the Netherlands. We can send our sympathies to Greece, to Poland, to Hungary, but here at home, at our very doors, shall this struggling people " 'Toss their fettered arms on high. And groan for freedom's gift in vain?'" Recruits for llie Spanish Army.

SPEECH BY D. B. HILL

I-A3I-A -DEMOCRAT'S DEFINITION OF rERSOXAL LinERTY." His Pnrty Xelther Opposed to Open Ingr Snloons In Xew York on Sunday Xor In Favor of Closing: Them. ANOTHER HIT AT SHERMAN 31 A J. GOl'LU TALKS AIJOLT THE XOMIXATIOX OF HARRISON IX 1SSS. Xo BarKttln Was Made Meet In ST of the Ilennbllcnn National Committee Called by Chairman Carter. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Senator Hill was the central figure in the great Democratic mass meeting under the auspices of the State committee, which was held at Cooper Union to-night. Fred R. Coudert acted as chairman, and with a few complimentary remarks, introduced Senator Hill. The Senator declared the principles of the Democratic party are so plain and explicit that they do not need to be avoided. We have dodged nothing in the campaign and have attempted to deceive no one. If we are right we want to win, anl if we are wrong we deserve to be defeated. Speaking of the tariff bill enacted in 1S1M by the Democrats, Senator Hill said: "It has been In operation only a little over one year. That time has not been ample to demonstrate Its value anl usefulness. It is to be regretted that it has not met the full expectations of its friends in realizing sufficient revenues to prevent deficiencies, but this consolation exists, that even if there must be some deficiencies for a brief period, there has been no unnecessary extravagant taxation Imposed under Its provisions. Sufficient time has not elapsed to determine accurately whether Its reductions were all wise or Justifiable, but it is bellevc'd In the end it will be proved that they were not unreasonable. It is possible that in the anxiety to relieve the people from the erroneous taxation, largely prohibitory, in Its character, imposed under the McKinley bill, the reductions were preyed too far. but that fact has not yet been established." As to the Sherman law, the speaker said: Ihe Democratic party may not always have acted with entire wlsuom In regard to silver, but this much can be said, that it was not responsible for the Sherman silver law. That law was Republican in its inception, in its enactment nd In itst enforcement. Tho law has ceased, but Its mischief remains, because there had been irsued under Its provisions. l50.000,ou0 of legal-tender paper money, with substantially no available asset with which to redeem it and which to-day is disturbing the treasury and embarrassing its operations." The Senator devoted a considerable portion of his remarks to what-he regarded as one of the principal issues involved In the campaign, namely: "Personal liberty," personal lioertv meant liberty regulated bylaw, reasonable law. Continuing, ho said. In part: "The Democratic party has always been the consistent champion of personal liberty. It will not change its attitude by reason of misrepresentations or tho threats or the boasts of Puritanism. Tho persistent misconstruction of the Sunday provisions of the existing law and the dlfticu.,es of securing the Karne without long and expensive lltiSarlons, render rome additional legislation cslrable. It mavbe that if the excise law was enforced alike in ail the municipalities of this State enforced liberally, charitably and reasonably-there would be no necessity for new legislation. It is a fact that the Sunday provisions of the existing law are not enforced In this great metropolis the same as they are In Brooklyn, in Republican Syracuse, in Republican Buffalo, and In Republican Rochester and In numerous other Republican cities of - the State. They are not enforced In the same manner as they are in Republican Herkimer, from which ex-Senator Miller halls. Some legislation is therefore, indispensable. The people demand it. and popular centlment should be respected in that regard. Upon, this question the two parties have declared themselves. We have not said that we favor the opening of Faloons on Sunday throughout the State, neither have we said we are opposed to It. We have simply declared that the people of each municipality should be permitted to determine that question for themselves. This is a safe and just and satisfactory disposition of tho question." IIAIUUSOX'S SOMIXATIOX. MnJ. J. Henry Gould Criticises Senntor Sherman Statements. BOSTON, Oct. The Standard will publish to-morrow an interview with Major J. Henry Could, ex-chairman of the Republican State committee, on Senator Sherman's statements in his book regarding Harrison's nomination In 1SSS. Major Gould, who was one of the managers of the Harrlsan boom, said: "There is not a part!cle of truth in Senator Sherman's assertions that there was a corrupt bargain made to secure votes, for Harrison. After the complimentary vote given to Chauneey M. Depew by the New York delegation Air. Depew worked faithfully for Harrison and, a little later. Senator Frank Hlscok, T. C. Piatt and Warner Miller worked in harmony with Depew in the interest of Harrison. They were known as the "Big Four." Many of the New York dHgation were for llarrjson immediately after the vote was given to Depew. No bargain was made by General Harrison's friends with any one. No one had any authority -to do such a thing. The managers of Sherman brought considerable influence to bear on dhe New York delegation and for some un accountable reason expected the vote or New York up to the time of nolllng the delegation in the convention on the day Harrison was nominated. This was a severe disappointment to Sherman's managers and yet no one could take the delegation from Harrison." Ilcpubllcnn IVnttonnt Committee. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Senator Thomas 11. Carter, of Montana, chairman of the Republican national committee, to-night issued the folowing call: "The Republican national committee is hereby called to meet at the Arlington Hotel, Washington, D. C, at '2 o'clock p. m., Dec. 10, 1S3, to designate a time and place for the meeting of the national convention next year and to transact such other business as may demand consideration. THOMAS H. CARTER. Chairman. "J. II. MANLEY, Secretary." Senator M. S. Quay, of Pennsylvania, arrived In the city to-day and is stopping at the Fifth-avenue Hoteh Mr. Quay was asked if ho had come to New York to confer with Messrs. Carter and Piatt In regard to Republican interest., but he declined to talk on the subject. He said, however, that he favored an early convention at Pittsburg. General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, also arrived in the city this afternoon and put up at the Fifth-avenue. He was noncommittal concerning his purposes and confined himself to saying that he was in favor of an early date for the Republican national convention. Senators Quay and Carter. ex-Senator IMatt and Mr. Clarkson are said to have held a conference at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-night. What they said or did could not be ascertained. ' Carlisle Yfrll Vote for n Sflveritr. WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. Secretary Carlisle will leave here Sunday for Covington, Ky., to register, and will remain there only long enough to put his name cn the list, ieturnlng to Washington Mondiy cvenmg. He will again visit Covington on Nov. 3 for the purpose of casting his vote tor Hardin and the entire Democratic ticket. . A Three Months' Campaign. CLEVELAND. O., Oct. 'J3.-Thc Cleveland Chamber of Commerce will within a few days send to the chambers of commerce of three hundred cities In the United States a circular giving the action of the Cleveland body in requesting the Republican and Democratic national committees to shorten the

time of presidential campaigns from six months to three months. The reason given for making the. request Is that these campaigns Invariably unsettle business affair and do an actual damage to commerce and ?ranufactarlng. The chambers to which the circulars will be sent will be asked to take similar action. Senntor Tillman Excited Again. COLUMBIA, S. C. Oct. 23. To-night the constitutional convention was enlivened by a hot war of words between Senator Tillman and Frank B. Gary, a delegate from Abbeville, during which the lie was passed.
