Proposes to Use Electricity.
IT is COMING TO SALT LAKE CITY
Manager Clark Denies the Union Pacific Has
Withdrawn from the Western Traffic Asso-
ciatfon-Denver, Apex Western.

DENVER, Oct. 30.-TSpecial telegram to
THE HERALD The stockholders of the
Denver, Lakewood & Golden Railway COM
pany held meeting in this city last night,
at which several new stockholders were
announced, one Of whom was said TO have
been, forty years ago, al the head of large
hardware mandatory firm at Buffalo, n.
y. His name is not given, but he Is said
TO be able TO build the road with his own
capital by the rating given MIN by both
Dun and Bradstreets.
The Lakewood will probably present
new feature in western railrosding, and
the steam locomotive will not be used at
all. The track that has been already laid
has seventy five pound steel rail, instead
of the overhead wire that has been eX-
pectek in the Lakewood. The power will
be an electric engine. 1t Is now fully es-
tablished that the route will be westward
by LOYelaDd pass and tunnel which has
been surveyed for years and has been
kept alive, Will be bored through the range
at that point, which will De 1000 feet IN
length. The route has been surveyed
to Salt Lake and was surveyed
by another company which has been
acquired by the Lakewood. 1t will pass
down the Blue river TO Middle Park, up
the Troublesome 80 the Yampa river and
through the fertile valley OF that country
and cross the Green at point few miles
north OF the u tie reservation TO Salt Lake.
II is claimed by the company that it will be
a shorter route to Salt Lake by 220 miles
than any other line. One Of the officials
said this morning that ex- Governor GIlpln
has been over tbs route and says il is the
most practicable route over the Rocky
mountains.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct 30.-Great ex-

mated among naval men, and officers are
beginning to think of active duty. Admiral
Gherardi unofficially suggested to the navy
department that he be ordered to sail for
Valparaiso at once with the Philadelphia
and Concord. 1t seems probable that his
suggestion will be acted upon, though no
orders have yet been issued. The presence
OF United States feet would PROBABLY
bring to Valparaiso large feet of vessels
OF the British navy. British interests in
Chill are large and it is assumed any dem
onstration by the United States would be
watched with concern by the British feet,
and that if a determination to shell the city
was reached by this government the lives
and property of subjects of Great Britain
would have to be considered. The sugges-
ton of British Intervention is not likely,
however, to deter the United States from
following course that will compel respect

The U. P. and Western Trat

The U. T. and Western Traffic Association.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 3O.-TSpecial telegram
TO TIE HERALD, General Manager Clark,
by instructions from Jay Gould, author
lied an unqualified denial of the rumor
that the Union Pacific had given notice of
its withdrawal from the Western Traffic
association, and stated that there was no
intention of SO doing. He declared this
rumor had its origin in movement on the
part of the Union Pacitc, Colorado Mid
land, Denver 81 Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western to Withdraw local business in
Colorado and Utah from the jurisdiction of
the Western Traffic association.
For several years the local business in
these states has been controlled by the
Colorado Traffic association, composed of
these four roads. The roads do all the
business in that section and none of
the other roads are in q position
IS to so much as touch any portion of it.
The headquarters of the Western Traffic
association are in Chicago and the admin
istration of the local Colorado and Utah
business by chairman in Chicago neces-
sarlly results in damaging delays and
keeps the business IN that section in a con-
slant state of uncertainty. The roads which
have made the objections to the with
drawal of Colorado and Utah local business
are not in position to handle the business
themselves and have not the least control
over it. Whatever may be the decision of
Chairman Walker, it is safe 10 say that the
local business of the territory in question
will be administered in the future as it has
be en- IN the past without regard to the
wishes Of the people who are not concerned

Montt Advises Moderation.

New YORK, Oct. 3O-A Santiago special
says: Pedro Montt, representative of the
provincial government at Washinet ton,
cabled the iunta today urging them to
adopt conciliatory policy and move with
caution, but his advice apparently had nc
effect. The Cnillan public appears to
have no conception of the gravity of the
situation. Beyond the n,eagre facts
which have been published in the local
papers they are as rule ignorant of what
had occurred. When Captain Schley ap-
piled TO the intendente OF Valparaiso for
protection for officers ana men going
ashore on business, the intendente re-
piled he was unable give advice relative to
their coming ashore, evadlng the question
of protection.
