DENVER, Feb. lin the United States
court to-day, Dennis Sullivan, receiver of
the American Waterworks company, began
suit calling President Jenner to account
for sos, 600 bonds of the Denver Water
company, which he (Jenner) is alleged 20
have contiscated to his own use. The suit
is in retaliation for one brought against
Sullivan by Jenner, charging Sullivan with
appropriating sol, 600 TO his own use, which
Sullivan denies. The Denver Water com
pany put on the market 1854, 900 bonds and
the bill of Sullivan charges that S2O5, 600 of
this issue went into Jenner's hands and
never has been discovered since. Sullivan
will ask why the company's tire surer has
never received this amount and pray the
court to call Jenner 10 account. As to the
suit against him, Sullivan, in answer, will
say the money he is alleg d to have used
for his own benefit was used in construc-
ton under the old Denver Water com
pany's management prior to its transfer to
the American Water company.

JOHN NJ. THURSTON.
He is No Longer a Candidate for
Vice Presidential HOnOrs.
He Regards Flames Declaration az PractI-
caIly the Death Blow TO Republican
HOpes-He Alone Could Be Elected.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. Especial telegram
to The HERALD. John M. Thurston to.
day announced that he was no longer can
didate for vice presidential honors. He
said that he regarded the Blaine declara-
ton as practically the death blow to Re-
publican hopes, as he thought him the only
man who could be elected He thinks the
situation is this: 1.-The Alliance in the
west has grown up under MIR. Harrison's
administration not because of his admins
tration, but it has simply appeared and de-
veloped at the same time, and for that
reason there is nothing in Mr. Harrison's
candidacy which would have any great
tendency to break into the Alliance ranks
All these prairie states have been Blaine
states for mauy years. A large part of the
Alliance men are favorable to his reel
procity ideas, and they look upon him az a
great leader, whose craftsmanship would
be exerted for the interest of the agricul-
tural west. l think his nomination would
split the Alliance in two as far as the
presidential ticket is concerned. No other
candidate could do so to the same extent"

THE HOME RULE BILL
The Senate Committee Hears
Arguments in its Favor.
UTAH REPUBLICANS INTERESTED
Smith, of Ogden, Analyses the Measure-Sen-
ator Carey Approves 1.-THE Church
Out Of Politics

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 11.-[Special
telegram to The HERALD. ]-Chairman
Platt sat at the head Of the long table in
the centre of the committee room on terri
tories this morning, and grouped around
about him were the various Republican and
Democratic members of the committee 1t
was regular meeting day, but the entire
session was spent in hearing an argument
which H. w. Smith, of Ogden, made in
favor of the Home Rule bill. All the Utah
gentlemen who were in attendance at the
meeting of the House committee yesterday
were present, as were also Mr.. John Henry
Smith, of Salt Lake, and G. f. Rathbone,
of Eureka. Mr. Smith first read the
memorial prepared by the legislature of
Utah, and then taking the Home Rule bill
analysed it thoroughly and explained its
provisions. He referred with pardonable
pride to the ability of territory
TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF IN EVERY PAR
TICULAR.
He narrated whole list of abuses so
familiar TO the people of Utah which exist
in different departments of local govern
ment. He referred briefly, in passing, to
the Utah commission, and stated that polyg-
amy was as dead in the territory as in any
state of the union, and that that was the
only objection that had ever been urged
against the people. Referring to the fire.
quently expressed feature OF tie DONNA
ton of the Mormon hierarchy, Mr.. Smith
SAID there was nothing in il; that the Peo-
ple's party had been disbanded and that
THE CHURCH WAS OUT OF POLITICS.
The Senators present followed Mr..
Smiths argument and interrupted him al
times with questions calculated to make
clear to them the real situation in the
! territory. They inquired particularly as
to changes which the bill would make in
the organic act; and as to the details oil
both of this and the statehood bill and
| essential difference between them.
| 1t was expected that Mr.. Q. G.. Richards
would follow MIR. Smith and give a still
further review of the social aud politca
conditions of the territory, but the hour OF
! noon had nearly been reached before Mr.
Smith had concluded, and an adjournment
was taken until Saturday morning next
in oruer that MIR. Richards might make full
argument without being interrupted. Chair
man Plat stated at the conclusion of the
hearing that
THE STATEHOOD PEOPLE
also wanted to be given an audience, anG
that he would probably decide between
now and Saturday when they, too, nigh
| be heard.
he hearing to- day demonstrated the fac
that Mr.. Carey, of Wyoming, who is one O
the members of the committee, is in hearty
sympathy with the Utah gentlemen in theil
efforts to throw off the territorial shackle
and govern themselves. He spoke witt
strong emphasis of the evils of the terrific
rial form of government, and in various
other ways satisfied the Utah people tina
his sympathy had been fully aroused il
their behalf
