Stanley's Fate,

LONDON, December 14.-General Gren'
fel recognized the letter which Osman
Digna enclosed as the original one
which he had drafted for the Khedive.
Thus stanley's capture is virtually be-
yond doubt.
BRUSSELS, December 1.-THE King of
Belgium is greatly agitsted by the news
from the Soudan. He admits having
been the largest subscriber to Stanley s
expedition.
The EmIn chief expedition committee
are doubtful of the genuineness of
Osmond Digna's letter. They suggest
the Khedive's letter may be the copy of
one stolen at Cairo, but think 1t more
likely that Stanley sent on runners to
Enim with the letters, and that these
runners were captured. In any case,
they are hopeful that. even if Enim is
q captive, Stanley is still free.
SUAKIM, December 14.-Osmond Dig
mas letter was reply toMajor Rundle's
request of last August for news. Emin
Pashi's letter asserts that Ell Mahdl
has conquired the whole of the equati-
onal provinces. Laddo's letter stated
that one white man escaped.

She Emulates Her Husband.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Mrs. A.
r. Parsons, widow of the executed
Chicago Anarchist, spoke to about 700
people tonight. She dwelt at length

as innocent blood had been shed then,
innocent blood must be shed in

Banfeld, of Chicago, had ordered
Anarchists not to be allowed to meet.
He ordered his scorpions to see that no
public demonstrations take place in Chi
cago. That is in free America, while
we were procisiming our theories in
England" She talked of the restitution
of the workingmen, and said I'VE

will say tomorrow: Fay Templeton,
the well-known comic opera artistic,
has been mysteriously missing from
her company for several nights past.
The excuse has been made that she
was i'll, but this has been exploded, an
Investigation showing she had not been
at her boarding place since 6rst missing
her. 1t was quite generally believed,
tonight, that the gay favorite has
started on another of her European
adventures, definite statements being
in circulation that she had gone east
and will tomorrow board an ocean
steamer, possibly again to meet the
wealthy young Howell in Paris"

The Slave Trade Question.

BERLIN, December 1s.-Dr. Wind
horst, in the Reichstag, to-day, in
moving his resolution relative to the
suppression of the East African slave
trade, said his resolution was based
upon a speech from the throne, and
that Germany should cooperate with
other powers. The full initiative should
be left to government. The Reichstag
must contine itself to formulating gen.
eral proposals, but it should also, ire
spective of religion or party, proclaim
its duty.
Weormann. National Liberal, land Hell.
dorf. Conservative, approved of the
resolution.
Count Herbert Bismarck dwelt at
length on the evils OF slavery, the 81 p

upon Germany

they have found it impossible to can

have been telegraphed for, and by De-
cember 18th it is expected that the city

THE FARMER SMILES;
The Effects of Yesterdays
Storm Will be Felt
THROUGHOUT THE TERRITORY
Idaho, to Pipe Springs,
Arizona.

The rain. which started to fall in
Salt Lake Valley on Thursday evening
continued throughout the night, kept
going the greater part of yesterday and
was still falling when night came on
again
That the storm was general will be
seen by the weather report given be-
low; some places it came down in the
form of sleet, some snow and others
rain. But in the whole stretch of
country from Paris, Idaho, to st.
George, Utah, it will be seen that there
has been more or less rain, the benefit
of which can hardly be told. In Salt
Lake Valley alone, the shower will be
worth hundreds of dollars to the farm
ers and the same is true in all other
places where similar conditions exist
The ground in this valley has for
weeks been perfectly dry and free
from frost and this rain will all GO
into the ground and store itself
there during the winter. Where
the ground is full of frost all
the water runs off and is OF
no benefit whatever to the soil. The
good soaking of yesterday, especially if
followed by a heavy fall of snow, will
make every farmer in the Territory
smile.
