AN EYE UPON UTAH
The Republican Congressional Committee
Looking After Things There
1t VIII BE a State in Time to Partfci-
pate in the Next Presi-
Dental Elections.

The republican congressional committee
Is keeping an eye upon Utah, and 1t is prob
able that this territory will engage the
close attention of the party managers from
this time until the new state of Utah takes
her place in the Union and in the repub-
lican column. Upon the old-time principle
that as the twig is bent SO shall the tree
grow, the republicans are taking good care
to bring up the infant state in the right
way.
The facts In the case of the admission Of
Utah are these: The recent election in the
territory was for the purpose of choosing
members Of a constitutional convention, in
accordance with the enabling act passed by
Congress at it's last session. This constitu-
tional convention will meet next March and
will frame a constitution, which, in turn, is
to be submitted to the people for rattfca-
ton or rejection by popular vote in the fol-
lowing November. If the constitution Is
accepted by the people, and If 1t Is repub-
hcan in form. the President of the United
States shall thereupon issue his proclama-
ton declaring VI tab admitted into the Union
upon an equality with the other states.
The enabling act provided that the con-
stitutional convention may either call for
the election Of new legislature or retain
the present one, elected last spring and re-
publican in politics. As the present legis-
lature will be called upon to elect two Uni
ted States Senators, 1t will probably be per-
mitted to do so, rather than run the risk Of
holding another election.
One feature OF the situation In Utah IL
that she will become a state In time to take
part in the next presidential campaign and
will furnish three presidential electors. 1t
is thought they will be republican, and. in
fact, 1t is believed that the state will be
tutional convention will have the apportion-
ment OF the state In Its hands.

TREATY WITH JAPAN.


=
Ready to Be Signed.
The new treaty between the United States
and Japan has been concluded in all it's es-
sentlal features, and 1t remains only to de-
termine minor details and phraseology.
The instrument has not yet been for
rally signed, and it's actual execution may
be delayed some days. although the under
standing on all Its terms Is SO complete
that it might be concluded at once II the
officials so desired The great questions in
volved are those dealing with the treaty
ports and with immigration of Japanese to
the United States AS to the former the
Japanese feel that their judicial system Is
now conducted on such modern and en-
lghtened lines that il can be safely trusted
in the trial cases arising at the treaty ports
Of Japan in which Americans are parties
Heretofore the American consular courts
in Japan have tried these cases. There is
reason to believe that Japan's desires will
be recognized in the new treaty. But as
Japan wishes all countries to recognize this
new judicial system at the same time, the
treaty with this country will be the same
as that recently concluded with Great
Britain, providing that the Jurisdiction of
Japanese courts over treaty ports will be-
gin several years hence, probably 1899.
AS to the immigration of japanese to the
United States, recent unofficial advic es
from Japan state that the government will
consent to any fair restriction this country
wishes to impose, the Japanese are said
to have no anxiety to immigrate to this
country in large numbers. Japan also has
a law forbidding its people to emigrate to
a country against the local laws Of that
country, so that no japanese could come
here against the present alien contract and
labor laws.
Aside from these special features, the
chief significance of the new treaty will be
in American recognition of Japan as one
of the sisterhood of modern nations, and
entitled to the respect and privileges Of
other first-class powers.

THE NEW POST OFFICE.
Cnly Forty Men at WOrk-GOvernment
.-. Losses in Paying Rent.

. .s. Losses IN fay1hg heht.
Another day goes by with the govern.
ment waiting for its new post office in this
city, and the sum of $43. So has been paid
out as rent for that day. This Is the sum
which is the daily proportion of the an
nual rental Of $4,000 for the partial use OF
the street building that is temporarily
occupied as a post office. Like most com.
mercial arrangements, this contemplates
the use of the building on 365 days of the
year, and thus the total sum divided by
1866 days gives the daily rent. Thus fol
each day of delay on the new building the
government Is put to an expense of S43. SO
But, 1t Is perhaps urged by the friends
of those who have charge of the new con-
struction, the contractors are under penal.
ties for delay, and thus the government is
reimbursed. This is wholly absurd. In the
first place, the rent has now been running
for about two years and half, and there
has hardly been a days penalty collected
There is, to be sure a penalty supposed tC
be now running on the iron contract, but
1t has not yet been enforced. as there has
been no settlement These penalties are
theoretically, $50 a day.
There are now two contracts between the
government and outside parties each OF
which may have this penalty put upon It.
Therefore, were the work behind time now
that Is, behind the date stated in the con-
tracts, the government would be receiving
an aggregate penalty of $40 q day, or, on
the basis OF six working days in the week.
OF $40 week. But the rent for the tenn
poIary home of the post Office building is
one-fifty-second Of $4,000. or $3O76S.
1t will thus be seen that were the pend
Ing contracts under penalties for non-com-
pletion the government would be $67.6S out
of pocket each week, this being the differ
ence between the rent and the penalties.
This Is based upon the assumption that
the penalties are collected which is not q
good foundation for the argument, for the
penalties are not enforced once in q hun
dred cases. There are scores Of excuses to
be urged and quite as many reasons for
remitting the penalties are given by the
action of the architects office. -
On the basis of the forty men at work
this morning the new building might be
finished, according to the old generous es-
innate. on the 9Th of July. 1899. Even II
this date were certain, which is not by any
means assured, the government would by
that time have paid out no less than $113,-
561.SS In rent, exclusive of interest.

REPUBLICANS OBJECT.
Trouble between FusiOnists In North
Carolina Over SenntOrships.

Carolina Over SenntOrshfps.
Mr. Josephus Daniels, chief clerk of the
Department of the Interior, told the re-
porter this afternoon that the republicans
in North Carolina were dissatisfied with
the proposition of the populists that they
(the latter be given the long-term United
States senatorship. Marion Butler, ex-
state senator is the candidate of the pop
ulists" said Mr.. Daniels, and for several
reasons this is disagreeable to the republf-
cans. Robert NJ Douglass, who is son
of the late Stephen A. Douglass, and who
was marshal of North Carolina under
Grant, Is strongly In favor Of separate
caucus and Independent action on the part
Of the republicans. He has, 1t is said. pub
ucly expressed the hope that the demo-
Gratis will not stand off with folded arms
while the fusionists legislate. He hopes
that all the parties in the state legislature
may get together Jeter c. Pritchard,
who has been a state legislator and who
has made the run as republican candidate
for lieutenant governor, is about the most
conspicuous candidate whom the republi-
cans have for the United States Senate.
He is one of the most aggressive cam
paigners that party has In the south.
DR.. ]. J. Mott, who was collector of inter-
minstration, and who claims to be the
daddy of the fusion movement, is also
an applicant for the honor. So TOOLS H. G.
Ewart who will be remembered as one Of
the republican members Of the Reed Con-
gress who opposed the force bill. The
chief local question in the tar. state is that
Of county government. From 1868 to 1876
the financial control of the black counties
was under nesIo and carpet bag 1omina-
ton. Taxation in those counties became 80
ruinous that democratic legislature read
justed matters to the effect that since
1876 the county commissioners, who have
Jurisdiction over local taxation and ex-
penditures, have been elected by ma2is-
trates appointed by the legislature. Both
the popullsts and republicans are pledged
to undo this arrangement. The result will
be that the finances of those counties will
be injudiciously managed"

Paymusters' Clerks Sentence.

Secretary Herbert has approved the
sentence of the couTt-martial In the case
of David B. Sayre, clerk to Paymaster J..
r McCann. who was convicted at Nor
folk of embezzling s1.971 from the govern
ment. Sayre will be confined for two years
in the Boston naval prison, with loss of Ill
pay save SO per month and s125 upon ter
mination OF the sentence. and then to be
dishonorably dismissed from the service.
Several nice points Of law were raised In
this case by defendants attorneys, such as
that pay clerk is not subject to court
martial, and that the paymaster and not
the clerk was responsible to the govern
ment, but these points were decided against
the defense.

ADMIRAL WALKERS REPORT
It Took the Patriotic and American Stand
point on Hawaii
He Believes That the Republic Will
Endure and the Better Element
Fav0rs Annexation.

Whatever may be the truth as to the Pc
culiar rumors current as to the report
which Admiral Walker has made to the
Navy Department, and the reasons why 1t
has not been made public. there is one fact
that is known, and which no one will ven-
ture to deny. Admiral Walker is a blunt,
blufr old sailor, who has often offended many
Of the young dudes of the navy, who have
been baffied In their attempts to secure
soft service" berths through his influenc O..
and who has refused to recognize social
pulls" But he is every inch patriot
and an American.
The American View.
1t can be stated that his report on the
Hawaiian republic takes the American
view of the situation. Admiral Walker is
of opinion that the Hawaiian republic will
endure; that it has the strength to main
tain itself against internal enemies. and
that 1t is not likely to be assailed by a for
eign foe. He found that the opposition to
1t among the natives, which had been fos-
tered by the royalists, was rapidly dying
out, and that the natives were not likely
to give support to any movement which
the royalists might inaugurate.
No Danger to the Republic.
In fact Admiral Walker ascertained that
the old feudal system has become so weak
that 1t offers no serious danger to the
stability of the Hawaiian republic, and
that as time goes on 1t is probable that
the natives will be found to be strong sup
porters of the republic. They are much
more disposed to look toward the rising
sun than to turn and look back to the
overthrown dynasty. Admiral Walker also
reported that the prevailing sentiment OF
the civilized and progressive element OF
the islands favor union with the United
States. These are opinions which will be
found in Admiral Walkers report, If 1t
shall ever be made public. They are not
the views which the administration pro-
mulgated through the reports Of Special
Commissioner Blount."

The cash balance In the treasury today
is sl02, $685. 272; gold reserve, SOL, 7s4 462. The
Withdrawals of gold from the subtreasury
in New York yesterday in exchange for
legal tenders amounted to s9I5,OOO. That
the gold was not withdrawn for export is
shown by the fact that at today's figures
sterling exchange can be had at a figure
below the cost of shipping the coin. 1t
is assumed, therefore, that the gold will
be used in the purchase of bonds. Mail
