FREE PASSES.
Charles Francis Adams Tells All
About Them.
tTcstimsny before Senate Committed

Testimony before Senate Committee
Senator Platt-That (the free pass sys-
temp is one OF the things which might be
remedied by positive law about as easily
as anything else.
Mr.. Adams-How would you 90 to
work to remedy it?
Senator Platt-By forbidding the issu-
ing of passes.
Mr.. Adams-If you would, in way
that will be effective, forbid the issuing
of passes, would agree at once to make
considerable reduction in our passenger
rates.
Senator Platt-Would you like to have
it done if it could be done?
Mr.. Adams-Nothing would please me
more. | should like TO have a heavy
penalty imposed. do not, as rule,
like to work through legislation in these
matters, but if you will pass law pro-
hibiting all free passes and subjecting to
fine and imprisonment any man who
signs pass or any conductor who takes
q pass up
Senator Platt-Or any man who rides
on pass.
Mr.. Adams (continuing)-Or any man
who rides on pass. Such law would
relieve us OF one OF the greatest annoy
ances, outrages and abuses that now eX-
list in connection with the railroad bust
ness. Our free transportation over the
Union Pacific amounts to $4,000 day.
Ever since | have been
President OF the Union Pacific | have
been laboring to cut it down. 1t has been
one OF the greatest annoyances | have
met with, but ! have been foiled at every
attempt.
The Chairman-People who have been
in the habit OF getting them still nsist
upon having them.
Mr.. Adams-They not only insist upon
having them, but the pass system mixes
itself up with newspapers, politics and
everyt hing. There is no
reason whatever why any one should be
| carried free over a railroad any more than
why he should be boarded and lodged
free ut Il hotel, drive free in public car
riagcs, or order goods without paving for
them in shops. Yet, and especially in the
West, things are getting to such pass
that no man.who has money or official
position or nhuencc-especialy political
or newspaper intluence-thinks he ought
to pay anything for riding on II railroad
The company which filings about passes
right and left is "liberal !" the company
which refuses to do 50 is "stingy," and i
shall be assuredly be made "hot' for it
when the Legislature meets. That a large
per centage OF those who travel pay moth
ing merely means that the rest have to
pay more. \ IL is inconceiy-
able to what an extent this pass system
has gone. You cannot understand what
an outrage it is upon the railroads and
upon the body of the public. i do not
hesitate to say that, in my opinion, ten
per cent. or more has to be charged to
those who do pay fares to make up Tor
those who do not.

READY TO FILE THEIR BONDS.
The Governors Appointees Take
Preliminary steps 10 Obtain
the offices.

The Governors appointees were busily
engaged to-day preparing their bonds,
and it was understood that they intended
filing them, or that they would at any
rate attempt to qualify this afternoon.
some OF them telephoned down to the
County Court House after their bonds
had been completed, but ascertained that
Judge Elias Smith was absent and would
not be back till o'clock this evening.
This caused the parties to defer any
action till tomorrow.
Mr.. Arthur Pratt, who is nominated for
Auditor, and Mr.. Bolivar Roberts, who
will assume charge OF the Territorial ex
chequer, decided after the declination of
Judge Smith to name the amount OF their
bonds, to provide the maximum sum,
which is sos, 900, and the bonds were so
constructed. Mr. Pratt, who had COM
pleted his, when seen this afternoon had
obtained sureties, comprising altogether

Hanauer, Chas. Read, James Glenden-
ming and II. w. Lawrence 1t was I'M
derstand that Messrs. r. N. Baskin and
Thomas Marshall would sign Mr.. Will
liams' bond.
Auditor Nephi w. Clayton was visited
by reporter of the DEMOCRAT this morn
ing and was asked whether any applca-
ton had been made of him looking to his
abandonment of his office. He stated
that there had been nothing done SO far.
He did not appear in any way worked
up over the prospects, and said
in very calm and emphatic
tone that he would willingly turn over
his office. keys and books, when the
court so decided, but he did not propose
to be thrown out OF the window. The
Governor had issued the commission UNI
der which he was now officiating as
Auditor, and the last election again re.
turned him to office The courts had
already decided that the Gov,
ernor's appointments were only
good when endorsed by the Legis-
lature, and in that decision he was ad
judged the rightful possessor OF the office
while George G. Douglas, the Governors
appointee at that time, was not approved
by the court as legal officer. 81 have
no doubt the matter will come again into
the courts, and if it be decided that
must vacate, l shall do so without an,
feelings of resentment or hesitancy, fol
my books and accounts are straight ant
in such a shape that l don't care who
takes hold OF them"

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

The Judiciary Committee has not yet
reached the Territorial Judges, the pend
ing question being whether the law
which cxempts the Judges of the United
States Court from removal during recess,
applies to Territorial Judges.
A Philadelphia dispatch says The re-
mains of John Mccullough and those OF
his son, VIM. f. Mccullough, were yes
terday placed in the receiving vault at
Mount Moriah Cemetery, pending the Sc
lection of a suitable plat for interment.
An Ottawa dispatch says: On the mo.
ton to resume the consideration of the
debate on the resolution censuring the
government for the execution of Louis
Riel, in Parliament yesterday, a division
was had and the government triumphed
by majority of "A. This is believed to
indicate its strength on the main question.
Senator Morrill, yesterday introduced a
bill to appropriate 100000 for the erection
of an extension of the Executive Mansion,
south of the present structure, of equal
and similar interior character, and to be
connected with the Executive Mansion
by corridor.
1t was generally conceded by railroad
men yesterday that conference had
practically taken place between the
transcontinental officials and that the
trouble would certainly be ended this
week. 1t is expected that the final
touches will be given TO the agreement
to-day, and then the details will proba-
bly, be conceded by the traffic managers,
so that the regular rates will probably go
into effect next Monday.

TO GO TO WASHINGTON.
n. N. Baskin will Act for the Rest
Interests of Utah.

The selection OF r. n. Baskin, Esq, at
the impromptu meeting at the Walker
House last evening, to represent the in
terests OF the Gentiles OF Utah at Wash
ington, seems to have given very general
satisfaction so far as the gentleman and
his eminently good qualifications are con-
cerned; and everybody from whom an
opinion could be obtained regarded Mr..
Baskin as the best man for the position.
There was, however, considerable I'M
favorable commenting INDUCED in re-
fleeing on the manner OF the appoint
ment, many contending that such an APP
pointment should have come from the
masses of the Gentiles in convention as
sembled, or from duly appointed COM
mittees that would voice the peoples
sentiments.
Mr.. Baskin was asked to-day whether
he considered his appointment last even
ing final one and whether he intended
proceeding to Washington without any
credentials. He was evidently DESTROYS
OF making the interview short one, stat
ing that he had a case in court and would
not have any leisure at all to-day. So

cordance with the expressed desire OF the

there had been such measure discussed
last evening, and that an amendment was
introduced covering both clauses in the
WOODBURY. bill in such way as to COM
pei every resident OF the Territory to
either subscribe to the oath at the time
the bill should become law or prohibit
them from subsequently taking the
oath. 1t was stated upon pretty
good authority that this amendment
was adopted, and that the measures Us

law under which to adjust existing diff
cultes here. OF course the object OF this
amendment is quite patent as providing
a means of preventing "turncoats" from
amassing any considerable strength ate
the results of the law are made apparent
but rs Mr.. Baskin gave assurances tina
no measure OF any kind was considered
by the meeting, it is perhaps idle to men
ton anything further about it.

Rrlsachcr Gets the Cash.

The recent suit between II. Brisacher
and j. X. Gillespie, in which judgment
was given for Mr.. Brisacher, the plain
tiff, has had termination after all which
places that gentleman in possession OF
what he asked for in the courts. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Brsacher's attorney after
the case was decided against him, went
to MIR. Gillespie and requested that the
script in dispute should be delivered
up, as it had never been taken
from the office on account OF
an alleged irregularity having been
discovered in some OF it. When
Brisacherlound that he could not, through
the courts, get refunding OF the money
paid for the script, he determined to OBJ
tain the script itself, and his attorney
therefore made the application as before
stated. 1t transpires that Mr.. Gillespie
has not preserved the said script intact +,
and the purchaser refused to accept a
part OF it. The matter has been finally
settled by the amount OF cash being re-
funded which was originally paid for the
script, and all parties appear to be salts
fled with the settlement.

Salt Lakes New Postmaster.

A private telegram to Mr.. i. +. Eccles,
OF the ID. & II. g., received to-day, an
nounces that Mr.. w. C.. Browe has re-
ceived his commission as postmaster
OF Salt Lake, and will be
home in few days. The
dispatch is sent by Mr.. Browe himself,
and is dated Washington, the 10th ult.
The news caused satisfaction among
some and good deal OF surprise
among others, although those who
were acquainted with Mr.. Browe's
excellent backing at Washington
did not entertain any dubiety as to the
outcome. The new Postmaster will upon
his return take immediate possession OF
the office, it is understood, having already
selected quietly his working force OF
clerks etc

WANTS TO LEAVE THE PEN.
Aurelius Miner Would Fain Take
Advantage of the New COp-
per Act.

Aurclius Miner applied to-day, through
his attorneys, for writ of habeas corpus
involving the application OF the new Cop
per act to his particular case. His term
OF co nfinemcnt does not properly expire
till Saturday, while, ii fav ored by the pro-
visions Of the new law, he should have
been released to-day. The question was
brought up and argued in court to-day,
and was taken under advisement
by His Honor Judge Zane. Mr..
Dickson, among other things, cited
n similar case in t he State of Ne
vada, where the courts ruled that
if Legislature were empowered to
reduce the term OF Il criminal mt
all, they could go so far as
to cut it down materially until
the sentence of the law would really be
ignored. Messrs. LIE Grande Young,
j. l.. Rawlins and +. s. Richards
represented Mr.. Miner, and it is
probable the courts decision will be
delivered tomorrow morning In the
meantime Mr.. Miner, who went to the
Pen with such readiness, will have to
content himself few hours longer.

HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND.

grets Having Joined the
Catholic Church.

TORoSTo, March 10. - Archbishop
Lynch has published a card denying the
authenticity oil the letter said TO have
been addressed to Lord Montague by
Cardinal Manning, in which the latter
expressed sentiments Of regret at having
joined the Catholic church The card
includes the following, addressed by the
Cardinal to the Very Rev. Dean Harris,
OF st. GATHERINGS, Ont.
You are perfectly right in believing
that the letter imputed TO me was not only
never written by me, but contradicted
every conviction Of my intellect, and
every sentiment OF my heart. Five and
thirty years Of peaceful and thankful
Catholic life have set Il seal TO nv
faith in the only church of God. /
would ask you to be so kind MS TO show
this letter TO my dear friend, the Arch
bishop OF Toronto, with my kindest re-
CARDS, You are at liberty 10 make what.

"Skipped" Tonight.

The Denver papers say: Skipped by
the Light OF the Moon" is title for a
play that seems to be somehow suggestive
OF more fun than "a wilderness OF mon
keys" To one who sees the performance
by Louis Harrison, John Gourlay and
their coadjutors, the suggestion that turks
in the title becomes bowling reality.
Nothing in the way OF farcical invention
in recent years can be compared to
Skipped by the Light of the Moon" for
rapid action, novel situations and entan-
gled complications.

Colonel W0lford's Oratory.

Mr.. Wolford, OF Kentucky, is the talk
ing member OF Congress. The impulse
to take the floor seems to be irresistible
with him. Mr.. Wolford commanded the
First Kentucky Cavalry during the war.
lie was Il border Union man, and by vir-
tue OF his strong war record he sits on the
Democratic side, representing mountain
district which would naturally send a Re-
publican. There is nothing elegant in
Mr. Woltord's appearance. His figure is
stumpy, and long-skirtcd frock coat
does not improve the outlines. A very
lat face, which in repose is broadened by
a grin conveys the impression that Mr.
Woliord may be humorst. This i'm
preston is dispelled soon after the Ken
tuckian gets the floor His style of ora
tory is the pathetic. Give him the case
OF n loyal widow whose wood pile melted
away in the sixties as the results OF the
proximity OF Il camp. For two minutes
| Mr.. Wo!ford talks with great gravity /;
then his arms begin TO swing. Then
perspiration comes out in big drops, and
rolls down his face. His voice quayers,
and takes on the tremolo OF the camp
meeting eXhorter. At length he weeps.
1t seems as ii he is about to be overcome
with emotion. Not so. lie is now in his
red heat, and he maintains it until the
rap OF the gavel informs him that his
time is up. Then the tears stop, the deep
rich color gradually recedes, the perspira-
ton dries, the. broad face expands with
that happy look, and Mr.. Wolford is
serene and at peace with all the world
again. To see Mr.. Wolford work himself
up to orator pitch and let himself down
to his normal level without wrecking his
suspendcrs, is one OF the features Of the
Forty-ninth Congress.-S Louis Globe

Properties.

In the midst OF Utah's political
troubles it is exceedingly comforting to
note that an extensive foundation is
being laid for business future, and that,
too, in an industry which must stand at
the head of those means by which the
Territory is TO attain to greatness. Within
comparatively short time a score or
more OF powerful mining companies have
been organized here with facilities and
properties which are enormous. Such
company has been incorporated within
the past few days, and has filed its arti-
cles under the name Of the Salmon River
Mining Company, with a capital OF
50, 100000. All but fifty thousand shares
Of the stock have been subscribed for, and
this residue is to be held at the com
pany's discretion. The shares are $40
each, and have been taken as follows:
