GRANT & WARD.
Referee Coles Report in Favor of Re-
ceiver Davies.

New YORK, March 17.-Hamilton Cole,
referee in the action brought by George G..
Holt, assignee for the benefit of the creditors
Of Ferdinand Ward against VIM. L. Warner,
filed his report with the clerk of the supreme
court today. 1t is in favor of Julien T.. Dav-
les, receiver of the firm of Grant & Ward,
and finds that the payment of all money
made by Ward, either. by his individual
clerk or by the checks of Grant & Ward up
on the so called contract business were
fraudulent and void as against defendant
Julien T. Davies as receiver, and that Warn
er must pay over to Davies, as receiver, all
moneys received by him from Ward over and
above the amount paid by him to Ward.
This sum the referee finds will be $1.255, 1861,
which with interest thereon for May 6, 1884,
$40, ,391. 20 makes the total amount to be re-
covered 81 1896, 1852. He further directs that
the defendants, Warner and his wife, exc
cute and deliver within 80 days from filing
of this judgment such deeds of conveyance,
release and quit claim as may be necessary

ANXIETY IN UTAH.
The President Calls for Gov. Muir
RAYS Resignation.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 17.-Gov. Muir
ray of Utah, upon the accession of Presi-
dent Cleveland, signifed that his resigna-
tion was at the disposal of the President
whenever desired. Yesterday he received a
telegram from Secretary Lamar that it was
desired. Gov. Murray, prior to the receipt
of Secretary Lamar's telegram, had prepar-
ed synopsis of his work during the period
since his last annual report, closing it with
his resignation, and had placed it in a mes
senger's hands to be given to the President.
The Salt Lake City Tribune, reviewing the
work of Gov. Murray, says:
He feels that he has done all that was fair to
ask of him. His work is triumph for the right
in this territory, and he goes out OF office covered
with honors, with record of integrity and per-
feet justice, which will be crown of glory for his
children. He has been kept in office for year
after the new administration assumed power,
which, In ITSELF is high endorsement, especially
when we know that his immediate superior, the
Secretary of the Interior was all the time his bit
ter foe. That there is deep regret among the
Genties at the action of the President 1t is use
less to deny. They feel that their dearest wishes
have been disregarded, and they will feel that
way until they know who is to succeed Gov. Muir
ray. He may be some one as stalwart, and true,
and brave, and cear-sighted as Gov. Murray. He
may be 'stick," and the doubt which hangs on
the election will make disquiet in every loyal
heart in Utah until the truth is known.

Condition of the Cabinet Trouble
in England
Chamberlain and TreveIyan Attempt
ing to Effect Compromise.
Michael Davitt's Programme for Ire
lands Home Government.

DUBLIN, March 1.-THE Londonderry and
Belfast branches of the Irish National
League, in accordance with the advice of Mr..
Parnell. have refrained today from holding
demonstrations likely to irritate the Orange
men.
LONDON, March 1.-THE News says that
Messrs. Chamberlain and Trevelyan have
written to Mr.. Gladstone statement of their
views on the land scheme. A cabinet coun-
Gil has consequently decided to postpone any
action likely to lead to disSenSiOn. 1t is an
honest effort without acerbity on the part of
the majority and minority to arrive at the
best solution for the welfare of Ireland. In
the meantime both Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.
Trevelyan will continue discharging their
official duties. Mr.. Trevelyan has Invited
the Irish members of Parliament to a confer
enee tomorrow ON the Crofters question. Mr.
Chamberlain agreed to the giving to Ireland
of home rule, but is opposed to buying out
the landlords. The present crisis will prob
ably postpone the date of Mr.. Gladstone's
statement to Parliament on the Irish ques-
tion.
Michael Davitt, in speech at Oxford, an
nOunced that his idea of home rule govern
ment, was that it would always be represen-
tatiye OF the crown, and have command of
the imperial force in Ireland The power of
veto should be allowed the assembly, which
would consist of 300 members, 70 or 80 of
whom, perhaps, might not be home rulers.
The government should consist of ministers
of finance, land, agriculture, local govern
ment, public works and education, and
should have control of the police, customs
and excise departments, without which home
rule would be a farce. He believed that Ire
land would not impose import duties.
Attorney General Russell was banquetted
in London this evening. He said that Eng
lishmen might rest assured that Gladstone's
Irish scheme would be just and equitable,
and would unite the Liberal party and
strengthen the best interests of the empire.
Coercion, he said, had failed and it would
therefore be wise to give Ireland judicious
home rule.
