UTAH,S NED CONSTITUTION.

Delegates Not 4greed as to the UOmem's
Suffrage Plank.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, March 27.SThe re-
port of the Legislative Committee was sub
mitted to the Constitutional Convention
to-day and referred 10 the committee of
the whole. The educational article was
taken up and referred back to the commit
tee for simplification.
The Committee on Apportionment and
Boundaries submitted report which was
placed on the calendar. A minority report
from the Committee on Elections was re-
ported. The minority report opposes
woman suffrage. The minority fears that
this privilege in the hands of women would
destroy the present equality of parties and
awaken the temptation on the part of those
who ruled before TO resume sway by work
ing upon the generous impulses and re-
igious instincts of women, which would
result in political if not social and business
ostracism of the minority. They favor
leaving the question to the Legislature.
A majority of the members unquestion-
ably favor the equal suffrage article. After
very warm discussion the report by a
vote of 81 to u went to the calendar to be
taken up tomorrow.

Contract Soon TO Be A,carded for Three
Torpedo Boats.
BALTIMORE, Nd, March 27.-The con-
tract for this construction of three steel
twin-screw sea-going torpedo-boats for the
United States navy will probably be
awarded in the next few days to the Co.
lumbar Iron Works and Drydock Com
pany of Baltimore by Secretary Herbert.
The Board of Chiefs has reported favora-
bly, on the Columbia Iron Works bid.
President w. I. Master in his proposal
agreed to build all three of the boats for
$292, 500 and submitted designs for the
work. The bid was nearly $4,000 less
than the next lowest bidder. The vessels
will be designated as torpedo-boats Nos 8,
and 5, and will be constructed under au-
thority of an act of Congress, approved
July 26, 1894. The displacement of the
vessels will be about 1873 tons, and when
completed and tested for speed under the
supervision of the Navy Department an
average speed of not less than 241k knots
an hour must be maintained for two con-
secutive hours.

mittee of five is going right to work, and
will accomplish something rapidly and
effectively.
From now on the boulevard will be the
great public issue in San Mateo County.
Among the progressive people everywhere
along the route it is creating even more en-
thusiasm than the new valley railroad.
The idea appeals strongly by its beauty and
magnifcence to the artistic sentiment OF
the community, and how highly developed
and widespread are love OF the beautiful
and pride of community down the west
side of the bay the pretty homes and the
neatly tended bits of park about the depots
at San Mateo, Menlo Park and other places
show. But the practical benefits of such
boulevard as contemplated are even more
generally recognized and urged.
The most active friends of the enterprise
put their arguments on practical grounds
1t is urged that it is actually as cheap to
build the boulevard as to keep on patching
up the present poor county road. Such
driveway, which would soon become world
famed, would bring tourists through the
region in constant stream, would bring to
it an immensely greater number OF people
seeking suburban residence, would increase
many times over the value of every foot OF
property along it, multiply the taxable
wealth and generally stimulate greatly the
population and business of the county.
A determined effort to build the boule-
ward is to be made at least. 1t is now
foregone conclusion that the bonding
proposition will before long be placed be-
fore the voters. Opposition from silurians
is expected. Some is feared from the por
tions of the county on the other side of the
mountains toward the ocean, but three
fourths of the county's population lives
along the bay and it is proposed that the
part of the county over the range be given

His CLAIM In ABEYANCE.
SANTOS MAY HAVE TO WAIT
FOR DAMAGES FROM
ECUADOR.
BY THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE
. BRITISH MINISTER THE WHOLE
CASE WILL BE REoPENED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27.-There
is some reason to apprehend that there may
be failure of the arbitration of the cele-
brated Santos claim against Ecuador as
result of a change made by Great Britain
in her representation of that country, or at
least it may be found necessary to go over
the entire ground again and secure modi-
ficatlon of the treaty negotiated with so
much pains by United States Minister Ma
honey, by which the case was adjudicated.
Santos is an American citizen, who was
imprisoned and despoiled of his property
by the Ecuadorans in 1884 and 1885. At
one time this led to serious trouble be-
tween the United States and Ecuador and
it was necessary to send United States
warships to Gnayaquil to secure Santos re-
lease. A claim for indemnity was pre-
ferred by our Government which Ian
guished many years and it was not until
1894 that the final notifications were ex-
changed for treaty, but the claim was to
be submitted to arbitration. BY the terms
of this treaty the British Minister at Quito
was to be requested to act as arbitrator, or
in the event of his declination he was to
name the arbitrator
There was no further provision for the
selection of the arbitrator, and this may
prove to have been an important omission,
for news has reached here that the British
Government has withdrawn its Minister
at Quito, leaving at that place only Con-
sul-General. Unless this official has been
clothed with diplomatic powers, SO that he
may fulfill the treaty definition of diplo-
matte representative, it will be impossible
to proceed under the treaty, and it will be
necessary to secure the consent of the
Ecuadoran Government to an amend
ment to remedy the fault. This must, in
the natural order, be submitted to our Sen
ate for approval, Publications must be
again exchanged, and the claimant must
submit to further delay before he can ex-
pect an award

For this he was tried by court-martial at

He continued to carry the mail, however
and was again arrested, court martialed
and sentenced to be shot.
By the aid Of friends he escaped, went to
Richmond and soon became the Confed-
crates most trusted spy. When Richmond
was threatened and it was necessary to
take some decisive step he. with COM

Many were killed, but he escaped. Since
the war he degenerated into professional
card-player. He at one time had consid-
cradle money, but died penniless.

Motion for a New Trial Made by the
Attorneys for the
Widow.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 27.-Lee Long
Chinese, appeared before Justice Gas:
this morning and swore to complain
charging Charles Haggerdon, 16-year-ole
boy, with the murder of Lee Sun.
Young Haggerdon and several other boys
stoned Chinese laundrymah who was
passing in his wagon last Sunday and one
of the rocks struck the horse, causing it tc
run away. The wagon capsized and Lee
Sun was killed.
AT the inquest held Monday the Coro-
ner's jury rendered verdict of accidental
death, and the testimony in no way con-
nected the boy with the accident.
Young Haggerdorn was arraigned and
his examination was set for Friday. An
application for bail was denied and he was
committed to jail.
The boy has been motherless since early
infancy, but has been we'll brought up by
his father, and bears an excellent reputa-
ton. He declares he did not throw the
stone at the Chinaman, but was skipping
it along the sidewalk, when it rebounded
and struck the wagon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27.-The

an unofficial trial yesterday. The results,
as reported to the Navy Department to-
day, were as follows. Average time noted
In four runs over measured mile, min

revolutions, 142; vacuum, % inches; horse

data corresponds to an average speed of

the contract the vessel was required to
make at least IL knots per hour, and pre-
MUM of $4,000 per quarter knot will be
allowed for excess speed. But a run over
a measured mile is not a certain test of
what the boat can do on the two-hour trial
trip which she must undergo, but if she
maintains the same rate of speed she will
earn her builders bonus of $4B050. Her
contract price was $685. and she should
have been completed in August, 1892, but

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 27.-That
the State Board of Examiners have deter
mined to render all assistance in their
power to Governor Budd in making his ad-
ministration an era OF strict retrenchment
is evineed by the following resolution
adopted at their meeting held this evening
at the Capitol building. This resolution
will probably cause a mighty uproar from
all portions OF the State, with the excep-
ton of offices contained within the walls
OF the Capitol building.
3 Under its provisions the executive him
self will be obliged to pay, out OF his
personal income, to forward any message
over the telephone wire, and it is hard

ditions of people who were only willing to
use a telephone upon which there was no
fee.
The resolution is as follows:

aminers for telephones in any State office
State institution, or any board or commission
in this State nor shall the con tingent fund OF

MACON, GA, March pa sensational

afternoon by Major J. E. Hanson against

lect $4,000. The suit grows out of the
signing of the bond of J. S. McTighe in the
famous Georgia Southern litigation.
Hanson claims that Bacon used personal
friendship to induce him to sign the bond,
and at the same time insured against risk,
agreeing to personally be responsible to
Hanson. Hanson had to pay out $4,000,
his portion of the bond, and Bacon re-
fused to protect him. Bitter feeling has
existed for the past three years, and this
is the climax.
