HONEST MONEY.
Second Day of the Salt Lake
 Convention.
Plans by Various Silver Leaders for the Maintenance of a White
 Metal Warfare.

By the Associated Press.
 SALT LAKE. May 16.--The silver con ference met in it's second days session this morning and immediately went into executive session to consider plans of action. Various suggestions were made, but 1t was finally announced that the committees on plan of action and addresses to the people would not be ready to report until morning.
 The Montana delegates were of the opinion that honest money leagues should be organized in every precinct and county and state leagues to agree upon plan for raising money to dis. tribute literature throughout the mid de states. All prominent mining companies should be asked to pay as- sessments to aid the work.
 Mr. Hip of Nevada, was in favor of having four big massmeetings in differ ent parts of the United States within the next six months. Gov. Prince of New Mexico, wanted headquarters opened in New York city to distribute propaganda and hold meetings to be addressed by prominent men irrespec- tive of party who would talk exclu- siveIy on honest money. Mir. Robsny- der of West Virginia, said his state was for free silver and that the Democracy of the south was not Cleveland Demo- cracy. Mir. Chambers of Utah, was in favor of devising means and ways to raise money to distribute honest money literature and hold large meetings ln eastern cities.
 Senator Clark of Wyoming, favored concentrating work in the Mississippi valley rather than New York and with the producers of Iowa, Illinois and In. diana. Congressman Shafroth of Colo rado, favored fighting from the jump declaring that henceforth each party should instruct delegates to the na. tional convention to retire unless they secured candidate and plank for silver. Ex-Governor Adams ot Colorado, ad- vocated big parade in New York city to march silently and with two banners the American flag and the motto "We want the money of the constitu. tion. gold and silver" Mir. Light, ot Colorado, thought she New England states as ripe as the middle states iol conversion. His idea was to form g
 financial army to exist during the campaign for honest money to continue until silver is restored to the position it occupied under Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, the members to subscribe 8 small amodnt monthly for the publi cation of silver literature.

ture have been found here it is gradu. ally dawning on mining men that the camp is not a free milling one and that only trihing percentage of the ores in the district are free, therefore concen- trating plant of magnitude may be re- garded as necessity which will soon be satisfied.
 Recent developments on the Osceola claim have shown the existence of large bodies of pyritiferous gold ore lying below a granite dyke, which forms the wall of the porphyry lode. Work has not as yet been sufficiently forwarded to reach rich aulphurets and the ore at present carries but S4 in gold to the ton. The work done has reached the permanent water level where the eulphurets were fret en- countered. Practically no depth has reached on this ore; further develop ments are awaited with much interest on account of the bearing they would have on the future of the mines in the district. Bodies of pyrites are an al most certain sign of permanency and no better indication than this could be wished for. The owners of the OsceoIa are to be congratulated Ii the work done by them should prove to investors that Arizona lodges ''do go down."
 Among the claims most prominent on the Mammoth lode besides the Wasp mine are the FIoater and River side. The former carries 6 consider able amount of the gold in the ore in a free state, although some refractory ore is encountered. There are mum Der of openings on the claim, all of which show gold in the pan, and it is re- garded as having as good surface show ing as any property in the camp. The Riverside claim, which lies along the line of the Floater, is like the Wasp claim in the fact of the presence of much refractory or concentrating ore. There have been a number of shafts sunk on the claim; the present working is down about twenty feet and contains vein about twelve inches wide which has an average value of $25.40. About half of the gold in this vein seems to be free and the balance refractory. The property belongs to some Colorado and California parties who have been doing work on the claim.

WEAVING A WEB. New Testimony Against Theodore Durrant. A Startling Story by a
 Young Lady Who Nearly Became the First Emanuel Church Victim. A Theory Which Explains the Ab- sence Of Blood on Durrant's
 Clothing.

By the Ass s1cia ted Press.
 SAN FRANC. sCo, May 16.-The police are said to have found several new wit nesses who will testify against Theodore Durrant at the forthcoming trial in the superior court.
 One of these, Miss Willie, will say that some time before Blanche Lam- ont's murder. Miss Willis asked Dur rant in his capacity of church librarian, for book from the church library. He escorted her there, left the room few minutes and returned entirely nude. The young woman made her escape with difficulty.
 Similar conduct would explain the absence of blood stains on Durrant's clot hing after Minnie Williams was murdered.

A Weeks Development in the
 Mines.
One Thing Becomes Evident ano That is That a Concentrating
 Plant Is a Necessity.

Mir. Charles Hall was in town on @ brief visit.
 MT. Ted Peterson has been making an extended stay among his friends in Mesa.
 MT. and Mrs. Andrew F. Dobbie took short trip to the Desert Wells last Friday.
 MT. Frank Mosher was at the Bull. dog looking for contracts for carpenter ing work.
 Miss Lucania Brassee arrived in town last week on visit to her sister, Mrs. H. K. Mcdonald.
 Work on the Black Qleen has been temporarily suspended on account of the completion of the stoping in the portion of the mine excavated.
 Progress is being made with the work on the Treasure Vault properties. Stringers are frequent and every indi- cation points to large ore deposits. Work has lately been done on the Little Alice claim belonging to Mrs. Annie Neiss; the character of ore ex- posed shows favorable indications for 8 ledge of value below. Superstition mine workings are being rapidly brought into shape for making a steady output. Mr. Jack Smith, an energetic miner of long experience in the Silver King camp, has charge of the work.
 Contracts are being made for ma- terials and supplies for the Bulldog Mining and Milling company. Things are moving very slowly ct the Bulldog camp. Several families have however moved there. Robert Hughes is tenn porarily in charge although no foreman has as yet been selected.
 Arrangements have been made for the erection of store building 24x50 feet to be constructed for the Bulldog company. The company will keep a line of supplies of all kinds to meet the requirements of their men. Cousin No. 2 claim which joins the Bulldog on the south has been sunk on to a depth of ten feet. The ore horns coarse gold at times but the major of the vein stuff | is of a refractory nature which can be best treated by concentration. This is characteristic of veins in the Bulldog lode.
 Work is progressing on the Old Wasr mine; there are twelve shafts on the property and several thousand dollars has been expended in working. All oI the work so far done has shown bodies of ore which are practically of 8 con. centrating nature. Like the Supersti tion mine it contains silico-carbonate oi copper. The teaching in this vein has not progressed sufficiently to liberate much of the gold from it's ferro mangan iferous combination consequently the ore is not adapted to the free milling process. As many ores of similar na

QUEER LITTLE MEN.
Miss Aliens Brownie Concert
 a Grand Success.
Numerous Dudes.Chinesean and Irish-
 men, Cops and Uncle Sam.

Miss Lizbeth Allen went out of the opera house last evening pleased, de- lighted flushed with success and over whelmeG with congratulations. Her Brownie concert given for the purpose of introducing in public the new song, The Brownies, the words of which are by Mir. George Hoadley, drew a large and fashionabi bic audience, was carried through accOrdinging to program with out single hitch and was in short great success.
 The stage of the opera house was never so tastefully decorated. The character and disposition of the setting served closely that the utmost attention had been gwen to every detail and that no pains had been spared to produce an effect pleasing to the eye and su ggestiye of richness.
 Among the artists who distinguished themselves in the early part of the en. tertainment were Misses Edith Talbot and Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander each of whom is a soloist of excellence but whos5 aork last evening surpassed that of any previous public occasion. Mrs. W. A. Freeze sang az an encoree Moore's Last Rose of Summer in a manner that left lite 10 be desired. The fan dance of Miss Hazal Street was a revelation to many, Miss Smith is simply little school girl Of surpassing grace and sym metry. She has been taught the steps of the skirt dance and having learned the movements finds it impossible to execute them otherwise than gracefully. l Her natural ease and sinuousness of movement was as plainly manifested to the audience in her acknowledgement ct applause, entrances and exits as in the dance itself. To vocifafous encore she responded with fetching jig. The Brownies s:ored an immense
 hit. The music ls simple and seems something which makes song popular and causes the jingle to resound in one's ears long after bearing. It is bright, original and while suggestive of no other song in particular. in its brightness and simplicity seems to have kinshlp to number of popular airs.
 The costumes of Messrs. Benham, Budge, Lambert, Murphy and Periey were comical in the extreme and un- mistakably Browniesque. Each sang his little solo and all joined in the chorus. The audience cheered and yelled for more and upon being in i formed that all had been rendered, in- sisted upon calling for the authors. The curtain was at length lifted in response and Miss Allen and Mr. Hoadley were revealed hand in hand laden with flowers and profusely bow ing their acknowledgement. Miss Al len was all through the evening, as usual. the ideal accompanist.

ITS LAST LEGS. The Republic of Hawaii
 Is Failing. It's Early Dissolution is
 Predicted.
Adherents of the Dole Government Falling Steadily AWay-It Is
 Supported Only by Arms.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May l6.-An evening paper prints the following: Private letters from Honolulu by the steamer Australia, declares that change of ad- ministration will soon occur there and that the change is advocated by no less important parsonage than ex-Minister Thurston. According to letters received here all that is preserving the present government is the fact that it possesses the arms necessary to Q1ell another out break and is exerting itself in it's efforts to prevent the landing of contraband arms.
 At a recent conference between ex- Minister Thurston and President Dole and other mem bers of his cabinet the former declared that the only hope of permanent peace on the islands will be realized in placing Princess Kaiulani in the position in which the former mon- archy proposed that she should be some day.
 Passengers on the Australia have con- fded the fact that the republic is on its last legs. Various big organizations are breaking away from President Dole and the opposing forces, which were somewhat ubdued after the recent up rising by the show of arms made by the government, are now becoming bolder.
 "An alarm is likely to be sounded any night" remarked one passenger, ''and if it is, you can expect to hear of the downfall of the republic. There is no escape for it. People are disaatis' fled and particularly Americans who, If aroused, will find at their sides all the assistance they need to effect a complete change in the government.
 Minister Thurston's uneasiness has become so apparent to the opposing forces that the latter have gained more courage. The fact that MT. Thurston favors change is no longer secret and when the Australia left Honolulu it was common talk that he was then planning to carry out to a successful end the conversion of the republic back to a monarchy"

PRESCOTT'S CELEBRATION.
The Alacrity With Which the Neces-
 sary Funds Were Raised.

Prescott deserves crown for her en- t6rprise in organizing Fourth of July celebration. Probably no other town of the same size in the United States could have raised so much money, $6, GOO, for the same purpose. That it was raised so quickly is eloquent of the public spirit of the citizens and sign that Prescott is not affected by finan- cial depression. h one day and quarter $4,S50 was subscribed. Nine men contributed $250 apiece; several threw in $500 each and two men chlpped in $500 apiece. All the sub- scribers may not get back directly the amount of their su bscTiptions, but the town itself will get great deal more than the aggregate. People will travel from distant points. if for nothing else. to see what kind of celebration $6,Oe0 will buy.

DISTRICT COURT. Two Notches in the Ter
 ritory's Gun. Benj. Earle Convicted of
 Burglary.
A Similar Fate OvertakeS Dan
 iel Ryan, Ex- Merchant.
A History of His Exploit and a De-
 Which He Came to Grief.

The territory had it's warpaint on in district court yesterday and obtained the conviction of two prisoners. The case of Benjamin Earle, on trial for burglary, was resumed on the opening of court. Arguments were begun in the afternoon and concluded at 3 o'clock. The deliberation of the jury was brief and a verdict of burglary in the first degree was returned.
 The next case was that of Daniel Ryan, also charged with burglary. Ryan is the man accused of stealing the stock of Chicago drummer last spring. The burglary occurred one Sunday night. Ryan was not sus- pected, neither was anyone else in par ticular. The drummer spent 8 day or two after the burglary in the city searching for the clothing and employ ing profane language by way of recree- tion. He went east to get new line of samples and has not made" Phn. nix since. few days after he had gone word reached the sheriff's office that an enterprising genius was stock ing up the north and south railroad camps in the vicinity of the Box caflon with clothing at ruinously low prices. Deputy Sheriff George went up to in- vestigate the distribution. He found more well dressed men working on the grade than he had ever seen before, They could easily afford it. The cloth ing had cost them the market prica of the raw wool oi which the clothes were | made and wool was remarkably low. The deputy sheriff went farther up the line and at last encountered Ryan who still had clothes to sell. He took him in and brought him to town and the clothing was easily identified as part of that stolen fron the drummer.
 Though there was 10 doubt that he was the burglar there was ab- soidtely no other evidence against him than fatal possession. There was really no strictly legal evidence that 8 burglary had been committed. The drummer was gone and other vic- tins could only swear that one day they went into the drunmer's quarters in the Wharton bleck snd saw an im- posing array of apparel. The next day they went back and the only objects upon which the eye could rest were general desclation, room empty of clothing and drummer full of anger and cu;swords. So the jury could know only by hear say that a burglary had been com- mitted but the drummer's wrath was so genuine and was laid before the jury by the district attorney with so great descriptive power that the jury took the res gesta for granted and found a verdict of burglsry in the first degree. The defense threatened to move for 8 new trial.
 The grand jury has been engaged since Monday morning on weighty mat ters but the report presented yesterday only ignored g charge oi forgery againss Manuel Mega, arrested for putting a fraudulent check with the signature of Supervisor Priest into circulation. Mega said that he had not forged the check but had received it in regular course of business from another man.

All that is needed to make this con-

World has indicated them at ffsrent in

For two years to come the house of repre-
sentatives will be strongly Republican,
In the senate the balance of power will be
held by the free-siver senators. The
president, the repository of the veto

every reason 10 believe that ma jority OF

whether there ever was any real.danger in

lessons the chance OF any unsafe exper-
iments with the financial question.
As to the remaining cause of doubt in
dicated by the foreign fnancier-the in
fiated stocks and watered securities
doomed for CANT bling purposss-the
remedy rests with the governors of our
exchanges. IL must be expected that
foreign investors will be more rigid than
usual in their scrutiny while the danger
exists of their being regularly buncoed.
II would really pay Wall strees to reform
its chief abuse.
1t is not necessary for the representa-.
tive of any foreign syndicate 10 confine
his investments to stocks dealt in on the
stock exchange. There are plenty of in
vestments quite as safe and offering much
larger returns for tho capital invested
than stocks. Southern California affords
splendid opportunities for careful invest
ments either on large or small scale.
Large sums coul', be profitably invested
in our oil industries. Our gold mines
have always proved remunerative to the
careful investor. The building of the Salt
Lake railroad not only offers splendid
inducements OF itself, but the new
country opened by it is fertile field for
the speculator as we'll as the inve stor.
For the small investor our fruit lands
beat stock deals out of sight.
1t is merely matter OF making loans.
Southern California leads the world both
in the matter of returns and safety of the
investment. The representative of that
English syndicate ought to come this way.

MIDWINTER MIDWAY MASH
II Now Causes Divorce Court Amusement
Ia Frisco
A Pathetic Story Of Mans DupIicity and
Woman's Worse Than Folly-An
Old and Gay

SAN FRANCISCO, August THE case
of Charles II. Scanlon against Kate Nc
Carthy furnished much amusement in
Justie Groetzinger's court yesterday.
Scanlon, who claims considerable property,
brought suit to obtain possession Ut his
premises at Sll Filbert street. 1t is an
old case and one that has excited general
interest in the neighborhood. Scanlon
met the fascinating Widow Mccarthy on
the midway at the midwinter fair, and
thei. acquaintance rapidly ripened into
love. Scanlon is 81 years old ana bach
elor, and Mrs. Mccarthy is still youthful.
Her enemies say she is so, but she looks
much younger.
Mrs. Mccarthy told a pathetic story of
love and deception on the stand yester-
day. She saio Scanlon. whose manners
were irresistible, told her that she could
occupy his furnished house on Filbert
street until such time as he could arrange
for their wedding.
II was just nicely settled in the house. :"
said Widow Mccarthy to the court
when Mrs. Hanley came tripping along.
| asked her who sent her, and she said it
was her affianced husband, Mr.. Scanion.
She said she was going to marry him as
soon as he had arranged his affairs.
Meanwhile Scanlon was taken ill and
was removed to.a hospital, where he re-
uained for eighteen months. When he
recovered he ordered Widow Mccarthy
to vacate the house in favor of Widow
Hanley. The women. however, live ! to-
gether in the house during the interim.
There was a mortgage on the place and it
was forecosed. L. S. Salomons was ap-
pointed receiver. He gave the women
permission to remain in the house. and
as Scanlon had no legal right to the
premises his petition for ejectment was
denied bv the court.
Both widows were in court, and when
the decision was given in their favor they
were radiant with smiles and forgot TO
trown on their deceiver. They left the
court room arm in arm, and Scanlon fol-
lowed at q gait of funeral procession.
