scene OF MANY TRAGEDIES
Mystery Surrounding the Disappearance
OF Three Men
Bodies of the Missing Ones Found Murdered
and Tied to a Wagon Bed
in Lake

SALT LAKE, April 21.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of three
young men who lived in the vicinity of
Utah Lake, near Lehi, Utah, is gradually
being cleared up.
Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and
Alfred Nelson had been living at Pelican
Point for some time. but were elected
about two months ago on a suit brought
by Oliver A. Slade. The men were missed
some time ago, and Monday last the body
of Hayes was found near the lake shore.
Death had been caused by two gunshot
wounds. Late yesterday afternoon the
bodies of Johnson and Nelson were
found. The bodies were in the lake on a
wagon, and were tied down with ropes.
They presented sickening appearance.
The murders probably occurred in Feb
ruary.
The murdered men were all cousins and
were running a stock ranch. The theory
is that the men were murdered in the
cabin during the night and thrown into
the lake, as the bodies were partly I'M
dressed when found. The gunshot wounds
appear to have been made with a 44-cal
iber rifle.
Suspicion, it is said, points to H.
Hayes, the stepfather of one OF the MUIR
dered men, and a son of his, who is MISS
ing Other theories are advanced but
have no motive to support them.
The country surrounding the ranch is
wild and broken, and has been the scene
of many tragedies between the Indians
and early set lers.
The coioners jury examined the bodies
today and will continue the investigation
at Lehi tomorrow. The excitement runs
high, especially among ranchmen in the
vicinity of the murders. Some develop
ments are expected tomorrow.

Senator Harris Talks of the
Money Question
AMERICA IS INDEPENDENT
The Silver Sentiment in the South and
West is Strong
Three Parties Will Figure in the Senate Next
Session, Neither Of Which Will
Have Majority

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 21.-Iu an in.
tervew here tonight Senator Harris said,
when asked:
Senator, do you think the Democrats
will be able to organize tile senate next
December"
4 He replied: "There will be three pollt-
ical organizations in the senate when it
meets in December. neither of which have
a majority. The Republicans will have
three or four more votes than the Demo-
Gratis, and the Populistic senators will
hold the balance of power. In this con-
dition of affairs, neither party of itself
can organize the senate, and while ]. as
single senator am inclined to do justice
to the Populists in the organization, yet
l am not inclined to disregard single
Democratic principle for the power to re-
organize the senate.
What is your opinion as to the domi-
nance of the free silver sentiment in the
south and west in relation to the cam
paign of 1882
THE utilization and rehabilitation of
silver to its position as money metal
and money of ultimate redemption in
connection with gold as the regulator OF
volume or amount of the thing called
money is overwhelmingly strong in the
south and west and in my opinion ought
to be strong and conclusive everywhere.
Silver must have its place in the policy OF
this country and-the parties of 1886 may
well look to it as an issue which will not
down, but must be heard and answered.
In answer to the question as to whether
the United STATES should establish its
financial policy in conformity with the
financial policies of other commercial
countries Senator Harris said: while
would be glad to have an international
agreement to utilize all the gold and all
the silver of the world at an agreed ratio,
| am ready to establish financial system
for the United States which does recog-
nize both metals and makes them legal
tenders for all purposes and admits them
to the same rights in coinage. Up to 1873
gold and silver held their respective
places as the money metals of the world,
but in 1873 the capistalists' influence not
only of the United States, but of the COM
mercial world, decided to double the pur-
b chasing power of their capital by the
decentralization of one or two OF the met
ais no matter which. SO that remonetiz-
ing either one the volume or amount of
money would be reduced one-half, which
would double the purchasing power of
every remaining dollar.
Capital has leisure, capital has in
fuence,. capital has powerful unfortu-
nately capital has no conscience. Capital
had silver demonetized when 4l2H grains
of standard silver dollar was worth on the
market of the world three cents more
than a gold dollar, and capital and its
cohorts are now rampant in urging the
adoption of the gold standard and reduc-
ing everything to that gold standard."

Ii HUNG CHANG WAS LUCKY
The Shooting of the Veteran ViCerOy

= To-day has been the most eventful in
the history of the peace negotiations. At
clock this afternoon the Japanese were
to offer their terms and the viceroy was
going to refuse unless an armistice is de-
clared. 1t was to be the climax and we
were nervously awaiting the result.
''As Mr.. Foster and | passed into the
street that leads to the temple that the
Chinese occupy we met an excited crowd
of people swaying to and fro against the
advance of a military charge. While we
were still wondering at this unusual
thing we were at once surrounded by
guards who conducted us to the temple
where we learned that Ii had been shot.
The viceroy. who had been struck from
straight~in front, just below the lett eye.
said not word, but sat as calm as though
nothing had happened. HIS two physi-
clans were hastily summoned. and he was
made as comfortable as possible on sofa
HIS French doctor, who speaks very lit
tie English, desired me to stay with him
to interpret if necessary.
Il stood at his bedside and watched
them insert probes four inches into the
wound until | felt sick and faint. During
the time the viceroy never murmured.
His first question was about the man who
had shot him and about the pistol with
which he was shot. He desired to see
similar bullet. A man was sent to pro-
duce the weapon to satisfy his curiosity.
When asked il he suffered much pain, he
said to the physician, Never mind the
pain.
'And yet it will be a miracle if the old
man lives The bullet is a 81 caliber, the
pistol an old pattern.
"Mr Foster has done grand work at
peace making in assuring the Chinamen
that the regrets of the Japanese officials
are sincere and that they are in no way
to blame for the outrage. He said to the
viceroy, when murmurmine that his
friends all told him he would be shot
down like dog ii he came: You are
soldier and l believe this gun shot wound
may prove an advantage to China.

Fresh excitement has been caused
among cattlemen here by the arrival of

it is believed that at least part of them

Smith to seize the cattle and place them
in temporary quarantine pending the &C

found the town filled with angry cattle
men. The breaking out of Texas fever

Eggs from hens that are fed largely

makes the richest egg, as IL adds to the

specially valuable for baking and kim

the value of the eggs. and II Is because
ducks are such ravenous hunters OF
