WAsHINGTON, Feb. 12-Chief Justice Nc
Kean OF Utah is expected here in few days, to
consult with Attorney General Williams CON
corning judicial affairs in that territory, which
arc considered here TO be in Snch a confused
condition that not a few members of congress
nave SAID they would not volc dollar for eX-
penSes, until some satisfactory explanation is
made concerning the recent trials in Utah.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS QUESTION.
The president expresses himself very much
gratlhed at the temperate tone of the press of
the United States on the excited comments of
the English ministry on our case before the
Geneva conference The duty of this country is
quite plain. If the English government with
draws, the United STATES cannot agree with
honor TO any new negotiations. What further
action may then be necessary will be influenced
in great measure by circumstances. In reply
to question as TO his opinion of the proposed
prospect of war, the president said he hardly
thought it would come to that, but if a war was
n duty it would not be evaded He does NOT de
sire to see the amicable ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by
the treaty disturbed, but, at the same time,
America, in honor to herself, cannot be used as
an instrument in the hands of any foreign minis
try to shield itself against embarassments
arising from political divisions.

DEATH OF DANIEL DENNY, EsQ.-Daniel
Denny, Esq, one of the oldest and most hon
orcd Of the merchants of Boston, died on Friday
night at his residence IS Beacon street, at the
are of 70, after an Illness of only three days.
During his life lie was prominent member OF
both branches of the city government and of
the legislature, and at the time of his death he
was the oldest ralroad director, the Oldest bank
director and the Oldest wholesale dry goods
merchant in this city.
He was a native chichester, Worcester county,
in this state, and a contemporary of David Hen
shaw, also native of that town. Mr.. Daniel
Denny, his father, removed TO Westborough,
where the son was brought up. He came 10
Boston about the year 1917, and applied to Amos
Lawrence for employment There being no
vacancy he was recommended to the firm of
Tuskclman, Gushing & Rogers, who kept in
what was then known as New Market street,
now Cornhill, directly opposite the foot of MARI
borough, now Washington street. Graduating
from this house, he began business for himself,
in the same street. as Daniel Denny, and bee anne
interested with Brock Parkman, then prom
ment merchant in Savannah.
In 1851 the firm became Denny, Rice & Co.,
and such is its present designation. The house
has always been known for its upright and hon
orable dealing, and to this course, no less than
to the business sagacity of its late senior part
ner, is the large measure of its success due. Mr..
Denny at the time of his death was president of
the Hamilton bank. He was also director in
the Boston and Albany railroad, having been
member of the first board of directors in the
Boston and Worcester railroad. His deep inter
est in the success Of that road led him early to
advocate the consolidation of the Boston and
Worcester with the Western.
Mr. Denny married for his first wife Miss Fay,
of Concord, sister of Judge 5. p. P. Fay and
for his second wife, the daughter of DR.. Gard
ner, of Dorchester, and sister of eX-Gov. Gard
ner. BY his first wife he had no children; by
the latter, Henry c., Daniel, Jr., Francis Park
man deceased Clarence, who is abroad, and
John, who is of the old firm of Denny, Rice
c Co.
Mr.. Denny was well known in this city, both
as Il business man of great enterprise, judgment
and integrity, and as man of unusually active
bencvOcnce aud kindly impulses. One of the
last letters he ever wrote, only two or three
days before his death, was addressed to friend
here, enclosing sum of money to he used in
relieving the wants of a needy family who had
often before had similar proofs of his goodness.

The old elm on Main street, at the southwest

years before another can grow to be such an OBJ

man who climbed into the top and sawed the
branches off, performed his part to the satislac-
ticn of large and critical audience, the seats
afforded by the city hall steps being filled during
the entire performance
The very general desire to view the extensive
collection of dangerous and savage looking tools

granted permission for them to be displayed at

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 12.-Public attention
today was occupied almost entirely with the

the early part OF the day, the liberals worked
hard challenging Mormons on the question of
citizenship, and preventing hundreds of votes;
but they soon found that their labor was use
less, even children voting, and the liberals
finally abandoned the election as farce.
