stirs Up wall Street.

New York, Aug. 22-The drift of opin-
ion on Wall street is that up to the
present time, the demand for silver has
come from the spectators. They pro-
fesS to know of no direct buying for
China, and say that in making prices
they entirely follow the London mar
ket. One prominent bullion broker
said today's rise was probably assisted
by the introduction in the House yes
terday, by Johnson, of North Dakota,
of the bill for the unlimited coinage
of silver. The demand has not been
very heavy during the past few days,
and there was a disposition on the part
of London to deal in futures on silver,
from which it was concluded the pur-
chasing was not for immediate ship
ments on buying orders from China,
but rather in expectation of the advice.
At the New York agency of the
Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
corporation 1T was said that after the
rise following the outbreak of the
China-Japan war, the holders of silver
in this country did not display any
anxiety to sell, and offerings by smell
tiers were very light until today, when
they became very large The recent
Chinese loan of ten million taels. equal
TO SOC, 100000 in our money, was a, sill
yer loan, but if a large war loan were
issued it would likely be in gold. and
therefore the Chinese loan should not
necessarily result in advancing the
price of silver. The agency was not a
heavy buyer of silver Just now and
thought that perhaps the shelters had
held their product too long.

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-The United
afternoon from Honolulu, bringing the
following advices:
Honolulu, Aug. 12.-Several days ago
it was announced that the cruiser Phila-
delphia was to leave here and about the
same time the captain of the British
ship Champion stated that his vessel
was about to leave on two weeks
cruise, ostensibly to look over the route
of the proposed Pacific cable. On the
day following these announcements, a
petition was circulated by British resi-
dents asking that the Champion remain.
The petitioners professed 10 be in fear
OF trouble il left without armed pro-
lection. The Champions commander
agreed to remain in port, whereupon
Admiral Walker announced that he had
changed his mind about sailing with
the Philadelphia and that he, too,
should remain in port. This unexpected
change in the plans Of the naval COM
manders caused unusual comment. The
royaliSts profesSed to believe that had
the Philadelphia left there would have
been an uprising against the govern
ment. Men high in the government
councils, however, declared that they
were anxious to have the Philadelphia,
as it would give them an opportunity
TO show the royaiists that the govern
ment needed no outside protection.
The wishes of these confident supporters
of the government were fulfilled yester-
day, when the mail from San Francisco
brought positive orders to Admiral
Walker for the Philadelphia to proceed
to Mare Island at once.
The war between China and Japan
threatens disturbances of a more or less
serious nature on these islands. Report
has been received of one fight between
Chinese and Japanese laborers and
1urther outbreaks are feared on some Of
the large plantations.

RAILWAY CIRCLES
WORK BEING PUSHED ON THE SAN
PETE VALLEY.
A Talk With Mr.. Wadleigh, of the
Denver & Rio Grande--GeneraI
Railway Nofes-At the Resorts.

Reports received by President Bru-
back, of the Sanpete Valley railroad.
yesterday. were to the effect that six
miles of the grading for the eight mile
extension from Manti to the coal fields
were completed and the remaining dis
lance would be covered within short
time. In the neighborhood of 10000
ties have been delivered on the ground
and scattered along the grade in prep
aration for the laying Of steel. 1t is
the hope of the company to get the
extension in working order by the first
of October in order to get in on the
coal market. Mr.. Bruback stated yes
terday that there is nothing in the talk
of coal war in Sanpete. 1t is true the
Rio Grande Western has placed it's coal
upon the market at SO, but this is only
a repetition of a practice which has
been followed for years. There is no
war, says Mr.. Bruback.

wild Confusion at Jerome Park.


New York. Aug 22-There was wild
confusion at Jerome park after the
match between Glenmoyne and Stone
nell. for although Glenmoyne gave
Stonenell a big beating he was dis
qualified for being short weight, hav-
ing probably lost one of his lead pads
in the journey.
AS soon as the flag fell Pochino took
the lead under general pull and as
soon as Armitage tried to creep up on
the up turn under the club house,
Hamilton let out a little and this was
the state of affairs to the last eighth,
when Simms began whipping and
squirting and it was all over, Pochino
winning, pulling up in 1:21, the record
time for the track.
In the other match Glenmoyne was
the favorite and Dwyer did not bet on
his horse. The story of this race was
the same as the first. Hamilton took
Glenmoyne out and made the running,
keeping about length and half
ahead and winning by that distance
under a general pull.

NOTHING IN 1T.
The Rio Grande Not Working the
Circle Against Utah.


Circle Against Utah.
F. A. Wadleigh, of the Denver & Rio
Grande left for Denver yesterday af-
ter a pleasant stay in the city. When
questioned by Herald reporter on the
subject, Mr. Wadleigh stated that there
was nothing in the statement made dur
ing the convention of Shriners at Den
yer to the effect that the road took the
visitors on an excursion around the
loop, inducing them to make that trip
rather than come to Utah. The fact is.
says Mr. Wadleigh, that the rate for
the loop trip is higher than the trip to
Utah, and if the road was working to
keep people moving on the Colorado
circle, it would certainly make a rate
lower than the one to Utah, and it has
not done SO.
"In fact" said Mr. Wadleigh, "the
Denver & Rio Grande is interested in
Utah almost as much as it is in Colo
RADIO, and the territory will never be
disseminated against by u.s. We pre-
fer that the people Should make the
trip to Utah. and 1 think our rate
proves that"
Mr.. Wadleigh says that the business
of his road has shown a remarkable
increase lately, and the outlook is most
encouraging.
