RESULTING FROM THE WAR.


Marine Insurance to Japanese and Chi
nese Ports at War Rates.
SAN Francisco, August 4,-War hay
ing been declared between China and
Japan, the marine insurance companies
which have agencies in this city will not
write any more policies for merchandise
shipped from San Francisco to japanese
and Chinese ports, unless special war
risk is included. 1t will make no differ
ence whether goods are shipped in
American or foreign vessels. The senti-
ment among underwriters, especially
those who represent foreign marine IN
surance companies, is that merchandise
will be safer in British bottoms, and
risks on such will probably be the light
est of all. All the foreign marine in
surance agencies in this city are anxiously
awaiting instructions from their home
Offices as to the rate of war risk to be
charged. Large quantities of merchant
disc are shipped from San Francisco to
Shanghai by the steamers of the Pacific
Mail and the Occidental and Oriental
Companies. The merchandise does not
go direct, but is transhipped at Yoko-
hama by line of Japanese steamers.
Merchandise going by that route will be
subject to heavy risk.

LONDON, August ga dispatch just
received says Japan made formal decla-
ration of war upon China to-day. Lord
Kimberly, upon receipt of notice from
the Japanese Minister that war had
been declared, wired all the British rep
resentatives abroad to warn the captains
of merchant vessels of the fact in order
that they might form their cargoes ac-
cordingly. Any contraband ware com
prised in the cargoes will be handled at
the risk of the owners of the vessels.
FOR THE WORLD TO TAKE NOTICE.
TOXIC, August 3.-The Japanese gov
eminent has informed a representative
of the foreign powers here that state
of war exists between Japan and China.
This is regarded as equivalent to decla-
ration of war.

LONDON, August Private dispatches
say that Japan has closed her legation
in Peking and recalled her Minister and
all her Consuls from China.
SHANGHAI, August 3.-l2:3O p. Mn

FROM THE LAND SIDE.
SHANGHAI, August 3.-A number of
heavy guns have been added to the artil-
lery at Taku harbor in the last three
DAYS, and submarines have been laid IN
expectation of an attack from the Japan
ese fleet. Great alarm is felt at Taku,
as the people there believe that any day
may bring several japanese war YES
sells and bombardment. The steam
launches of the Chinese customs service
are scouting along the coast to ascertain
whether or not the japanese are APP
preaching. Their officers report that
several Japanese cruisers have been seen
in the Gulf Of Pechili. The ability OF
the Taku forts to withstand lombard
ment is doubted. The forts were not
built to resist the fire of modern
guns. Six Chinese transports, packed
with troops, sailed on Monday from
Chez Foo. They were conveyed by three
warships.
THE BATTLE AT YASHAN.
SHANGHAI, August 3.--The Chinese
are strongly entrenched at Yashan, and
the Japanese are unable to dislodge them,
having been repeatedly repulsed with
heavy losses. The Chinese losses have
been small. Fifteen hundred Japanese
are said to have been killed. The North
China News confirms the report of the
fighting at Yashan. 1t says that the
Japanese brought up for the attack
every available man, almost denuding
Seoul of troops. The successful defense
made by the Chinese was directed by

possession of his sinecure.
How does that leave the status of

simply decides that the MAYOR and

TO BURY THE RATCHET.
Delegations From Price and Helper
Raise the Flag of Truce.

At an informal caucus of the forces
who have been urging and oposing the
division of Emery county, in the Cullen
hotel last night, all asperities were
set aside and d calm review of the
question entered into upon its merits.
There were representatives from Castle
Dale, from Huntington, from Price,
Helper and various other precincts in
that thriving empire when its material
interests were taken up for discussion.
In support of the movement looking to
the ultimate division of the county
which the divisionist contends is I'M
weildy, two columns Of figures were
introduced, one showing the assessed
valuation and revenues of Emery
county after the legislative knife had
been run through it, the other show
ing the valuation and revenues of Car
bon county. The total assessed valua-
ton of the former was shown to be
81, 0S1, so, with 9. revenue for county
purposes amounting to $3,S4360, while
valuation Of the latter is fixed at
purposes aggregating $4,67S.7S.
One item in expenditures shows a
striking contrast between the moral
structure of the two wings that are
now spreading apart the cost incurred
by the Emery division, as it has been
designed, amounting to but $5425,
while that in the block, which it is
proposed, shall constitute Carbon coun-
ty, amounts to $76330.
Discussing the political result in the
event of division, the stalwarts who
agreed that all acrimonies should be
temporarily set aside, launched a col
umn of figures which, is was said,
had been taken from the last official
returns. From these returns it was
demonstrated that in the ten precincts
incorporated in Emery county under
division there had been cast at the
last election 2SS Democratic votes and
1911 Republican votes. In the seven
precincts which it is proposed to in
corporate in Carbon county, the result
at the same election was SO votes for
the Democratic ticket and 1863 for the
Republican.
At the same meeting the delegation
from Helper and Price who have been
as wide apart upon tn question Of a
county seat as is the space that Iii
vides the two ambitious towns, agreed
to bury the Ratchet and to permit
that issue to be decided by pop
ular sentiment. The discussion,
while. purely informal, was very
exhaustive and the figures pro
|duced show the county to be one
of the most prosperous, wide-awake
and progressive in the territory.

BUSINESS MEN BANQUET
ED. w. DUNCAN THE GUEST OF THE
OCCASION.
a Pleasant Informal Discussion OF
Business Topics and Season OF
Good Fellowship.

A pleasant banquet was given to Ed
w. Duncan, cashier of the National
Bank of the Republic, by a few bust
ness men last evening at the Knuts-
ford. Mr.. Duncan recently came to
Salt Lake from Dubuque, Iowa. and
has become permanently allied with
the business interests of this city. The
reception given him last night was
principally for the sake of acquaint-
ance, and Mr.. Duncan expressed him
self as grateful at the reception ac-
corded him in his new field of work
and business.
The guests present were Frank
Knox, president of the National Bank
of the Republic; Lon F'arnsworth,
Will B. Holland, of the American Ma
tional; ex-President w. Z. Hubbard,
of the chamber of commerce; Survey
lor-General George w. Snow, E. A. En-
gler, extensive sash and door manufac-
turer, of Dubuque, Iowa; J. f. Stamp
Iowa; Frank Hiatt. James B. Bloor, of
the Tribune, and Will L. Watkins. of
The Herald
Mr.. Duncan sat at the head of the
table, being the guest of honor AS
the courses were served. business top
les were discussed, Salt Lake and
Utah coming in for the greater share
on for his reasons for locating in Utah.
and in a brief talk said that
first, the health giving climate
attracted him; second, the bust
ness prospects of the city and
lastly, the great resources, possibilities
and advantages offered by the territory.
He added that he one disideratum at
present is statehood and put in word
against the mortgage tax bill passed
by the House last Wednesday. Mr.
Duncan stated that he had settled per-
manently in Utah and would hence
forth lend all his energy, aid and
money to the building UP of Salt Lake
He declared himself ready and willing
to shoulder any work that may be as
signed to him in the organization OF
beneficial enterprises for the city.
j. F. Stampfer, of Dubuque, an old
acquaintance of Mr.. Duncan, stated
that his visit in Salt Lake had been a
revelation. He had formerly held err
roneous impressions about this city and
was happy to have them so pleasantly
dispelled. Mr.. Engler stated that Utah
in his opinion, is destined to become
one of the greatest commemorative in
the Union.
w. e. Hubbard thought that Mr.
Duncan's action in taking up his resi-
dence here should result in a large
sized Dubuque colony in Salt Lake with
attending capital and business energy
to aid in the development of the city
and territory.
Surveyor General Snow. being ma
tive Utonian, was enabled to talk in
terestingly to the strangers. telling
them of the wonderful strides that have
been made by the commonwealth in his
recollection and dissipating many OF the
harmful ideas held by the eastern peo-
pie with regard to the people of Utah
Others spoke informally. silver,
finace and the tariff being brought uI
and Mr.. Knox here found himself al
home.
The occasion was a pleasant one al
round, the menu being delicious and re-
plete with good things, and the guests
partook of that fellow feeling that is
all to seldom in the daily rush of bust
ness.

the committee on credentials. In 1890
he removed to Utah, and was soon. act

Democratic club, acting as its secre-

president. In the winter of 1892 Mr.
Letcher was chosen clerk of the House
of Representatives of the Territorial
Assembly. AT Chicago in the follow

vices We're of the greatest value, both
in a political and journalistic way.
Perhaps no young man is better and
more favorably known to all Utah
than Mr.. Letcher.
When asked by a Herald reporter
what he had to say about the result,
Mr.. Letcher replied:
4 was indeed pleased at the liberal
support given me by my friends. The
endorsement of the members of the
bar, which included most of the ac-
tive practitioners, was extremely graf
flying. l do not feel personally
agrieved at my failure to secure the
appointment. The Democratic party
owes no man an Office, and 1 did not
claim any obligation Of personal favor
from the chief justice.
Whilst / believe that he more con-
siderable number of active Democratic
leaders in the party here, requested
my appointment, the only regret is
that their suggestions in my behalf
may cause them disappointment. I
trust my non-appointment was due to
other causes than incapaciN for the
pOSition"

whether or not mayors of cities of the
first-class hold, under the statute of

Had the judge decided that they do
possess the power named, the mayor
would. at tonight's meeting of
