The people of Salt Lake want the high
school. The children look forward to
their entry into 1t. All that is asked is
that the people Of the city may build
UP those schools.

supported by local taxation. then he
would not object: but he did not waR
Washington county taxed for Salt
Lakes high schools.
Full Power Given.
Richards thought the whole power
was given by the section as it stood
The proviso. instead of giving more
power. was likely to restrict the power
to make free high schools in districts
outside cities of the first and second
class.
Chichester objected to making high
schools part of the free school system.
Evans, of Utah, said full power was
given the legislature to make high
schools, kindergartens or the univer-
sity free. 1t would allow Salt Lake
and Ogden to support their own
schools.
Pierce was afraid the legislature
would provide that tuition must be
charged in Salt Lake and Ogden high
schools.
Morris said it came with i'll grace
from country members to say that Salt
Lake support its schools. when it now
supports so per cent of the schools Of
the whole territory.
Outsiders Not Concerned.
Varian said the provision was abso-
lutely necessary as, under the COM
mittees' report. the legislature cannot
provide for any free institution out
side of the University. No outside
schools would be interfered with.
After several propositions had been
offered and desultcry remarks made
motion was made that the whole
question go over until today. This
was lost.

oLNErs LETTER OF WARNING
Giving the British Government
Much Concern.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-Evcn after the
practical confirmation from British sources
Of the statement thnt tho state depart
ment had addressed strong letter upon
the Venezuelan boundary dispute to Am
bassador Bayard for delivery TO the Brit
ish foreign office, tho officials at the state
department Tcfusc to make any admission
touching tho subject
The guarded aud evidently inspired
comment Of the leading British news
papers upon this letter has attracted Sc
rious attention among the diplomatic
body here, and they sec In IL n good deal OF
significance and possibly threat OF grave
complications to follow.
The statement that is held TO be OF par
ticular significance is that the British gov
ernment regards the views set forth in
Secretary Olney's letter as so Important
that "a long time must be taken for Its
consideration. AS this Is nothing new
TO Great Britain. especially In M cnuncia-
tion in mild form of the Monroe doc
trine. IL Is assumed here that tho only
purpose Of delaying response, which the
terms OF tho letter Indicated would be
gratefully received, IL sent promptly, Is to
afford the British government an OPP
portunity to consult some OF the other
great European powers upon this subject.
Most of these powers arc concerned In the
fortunes Of American states, some directly,
as France and Spain, through their
colonial possessions, and others through
heavy investments Of their citizens In Sc
curities and concessions.
The doctrine laid down by Secretary
Olney, II carried TO its logical conclusion,
probably would stop any interference by
force on the part OF a European power in
the affairs of an American republic, and.
also, as in the case Of Venezuela, which
may find parallel in the case OF the
boundary dispute between France and
Brazil, prevent any of these European
nations from extending their colonial pos
session In this hemisphere.
Therefore IL is believed by some diplo-
mats here to be within the range of possi-
bility that Great Britain may have in con-
temptation union with some OF the other
European powers in n Joint refusal 10 nc
cept the doctrine laid down by Monroe.
