The committee has recently been hold

e.fted on good authority that the Win

The Salt Lake Election.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 2l.-Judge Zane has
decided that the six Mormon councilmen
who received the highest number OF votes
in their wards are entitled to certificates
Of election. This would make the in
coming council stand nine Gentiles and
six Mormons, giving the former a good
working majority. The case was decided
on mandamus, the six Momons hav-
ing prayed for writ to compel the can
vassing officers to issue certificates Of
election to them.
The court held that the law of 1885
was in force in this city. Under that
law the COunuiImen are elected by wards
and not by Il general vote oi the city
The Gentle attorneys clannCa that this
city is still governed by the laws of 1873,
which provided that the counciimen
should be chosen by the entire electors
of the city, and not by the wards they
represented.
Judge Iane's decision caused much
surprise, the Gentlcs having felt sure
that the decision would be in their favor,
and the Mormons having looked upon
defeat as lOregone conclusion. An APP
peal was taken to the territorial supreme
court and the bonds fixed at $500

A PLAN TO SECURE WATER.


WAsHGNGroN, Feb. Ex-senator Teller
has presented a petition from the Colorado
State Grange dwelling upon the necessity
OF reservoirs and urging that the thous,
ands OF able bodied soldiers stationed at
the various points in the country be put
to work at the construction of reservoirs
and bitches when not engaged in Their
military duties, and providing that the
soldiers that do this work shall at the ex-
piration OF their term Of service receive
warrants free for 100 acres Of land to he
taken up wherever public land can be OBJ
tanned.
They think that such a requirement
would have tendency to prevent deser-
tons from the army as well as to develop
the country.
Mr.. Townsend presented the same peti-
ton in the house, and also the petitions
OF about 1900 Of Denver, Colorado Springs
and Pueblo in favor Of the Sunday rest

LEAD ORES.

Although it is reported that the ways
and means committee in the preparation
Of the new tariff bill has decided to i'm
pose q duty OF ~ cents per pound OH
lead ore imported into the United States,
irrespective Of the shape in which it
comes, strong influences are being inter
posed to prevent its application to the
silver lead bearing ores coming from
Mexico free of duty. The lead producers
Of this country, however, have formed
a strong combination against the free
importation OF Mexican silver-ead bear
ing ores, and claim that the ways and
means committee is largely in sympathy
with this movement. Various members
Of the committee have been interviewed
on this subject, but they are unusually
teticent. 1t is understood that Mexican
influences OF no small potency are like
wise being employed to defeat the pro-
posed duty on these ores, and threats OF
retaliation are openly made in the event
OF the silver bearing ores from that coun-
try being subjected to duty.

she has enough young children about her to

about its being passed by the house
without material amendments, but it
will not fare so we'll in the senate.
The senate finance committee, before
which it will go, is already deep in
the subject, and will, it is said, re-
port practically new bill as an
amendment to the house bill.
The democrats of the house are
very much interested in the question
of who is to succeed the late Mr..
Randall as Mr.. Carlisle's democratic
colleague on the committee on rules.
Mr.. Mills is thought by many to be
entitled to the place, but some say
that Mr.. Reed will not appoint Mr..
Mills because of personal feeling, land
others that Mr.. Mills would not serve
on the committee because Mr.. Reed
is chairman of it. Several other
southern members are mentioned for
the victory including Mr.. Crisp and
NJ. Blont. Some think that Mr..
Holman or Mr.. Springer will be Sc
lected.
