poets ITO soon receive advices to the
effect that the adjustment has been
made and things are TO continue as be-
fore, under, of course, the new and
simplified constitution. The latest re-
ports received from the coast, although
nothing Official indicate that the two
outside general agents, McGill and
Turner, will come into the fold with
out much delay.
1t is hardly probable thai the new
constitution, presented on Tuesday at
the meeting. of the members of the
compact, will be adopted in its en-
tirety, for the wrangle over its radical
provisions has hardly commenced.
Some alterations may be made, but of
the final success of the Organization
plan there seems to he no doubt. One
of the clauses which is attracting con-
siderable attention is that relating to
Withdrawals. AT present a company
must give thirty days notice of with
drawal and can resign any thine after
the expiration of that time. Under
this condition Arthur Magill gave no
tice of withdrawal two years before he
resigned. Now, if the new rule goes
into effect, a member must give fifteen
days notice of withdrawal and his
resignation can be sent in on the
fifteenth day, but must be sent in on
or before the twenty-frst day. Fail
ing to follow UP the notice of with
draWal with resignation, Within the
prescribed time holds the member to
the rules of the board and vitiates the
withdrawal notice.

Another u. p. Suit.

st. Louis, jar. 19.-Before Judge Walter
II. Sanborn, United States circuit court,
today, Attorney Winslow Pierce and R.
a. Hall, representing Gordon. Dexter and
Oliver AneS, the second trustees for the
first mortgage bondholdegs of the Union
Pacific railroad company, filed d bill OF
complaint setting forth that the interest
on $27, 100000 first mortgage bonds had
been defaulted on January 1, 1895, and
asked for foreclosure of the mortgage
and the appointment of separate receiv-
erS for that division covered by the mort
cages, known as the main line. The court
took the matter under adViSement and
will render a. decision probably the first
day of next week.
Prior to bringing his bill of complaint,
Mr.. Pierce stated that the matter of ask
ing AN order for foreclosure and the ap-
pOintInent of receivers was purely one of
form. He said that it was being done on
all of the Union Pacific lines when the
interest defaulted and denied that it was
done for the purpose of stirring up Con-
greSS.
He said the first mortgage bondholders
wanted protection and were taking the
customary course. He further stated that
the present receivers known as the AmeS
receivers, would doubtless be reappointed
MIR. Pierce said that so many limbs had
been Topped off the Union Pacific system
under the present receiverShip that 1t has
been pretty well stripped. The new re-
ceivership, If directed. Will take the place

Provo Wooden Mills Working on
Spring Goods.


General Manager Slnoot, of the Provo
wooden mills, was in the city yesterday
on special business and in response ITO
questions stated that the mills are be-
ing operated to their fullest capacity
and viii continue in that condition till
the first day of February when they
will he closed for a short time in order
to permit of an uninterrupted stock
taking. After the inventory and re
ports of the executive officers OF the
company have been prepared and are
ready for submission ito THE stockhold-
ers, the annual meeting will be held.
Some time ago the board of directors
decided to continue operations for an
Indefinite period and as long. as the
people of the territory give the COM
pany a liberal share of their patronage
just so Tong wifi all of the looms of
the factory be kept in full motion and
a large force of Worknen and work
women be given much needed employ
ment.
The winter trade is now pretty nearly
over and the attention of the experts
in charge of the manufacturing depart
ments of the mills is being directed to
the turning out of the spring patterns.
Some very handsome goods are being
manufactured and the general public
will be greatly surprised when they are
placed upon the market at the marked
improvements being made by the fac
tory.
Down at the Deseret mills the work
of bricl1ing in the new boiler, which
took the place of the recently ruined
one, is progressing favoralbly and with
in a short time the plant will again be
ready for operation. Manager Jennings

pa!ted that upon his return a. general

According to Bates story a certain
Hector Jennings, of Pennsylvania, re-
presented himself to be heir to an es-
tate in England valued at 100000. The
estate itself was said to be in cham

tain possession that a cooperative
company was formed. Several veal
thy Philadelpfians were interested
a sufficient sum was acquired TO send
out agents in different parts of the
country and it is believed there Is
hardly a state in the United States
where thousands of dollars have not
been subscribed to tine stock ,of the
company. The shares of stock sold
at $75 and THE holder of each share
was to have a proportionate share in
Hector Jennings estate when it was
finally settled. One share at maItur-
ity would be worth $1,000. Among
thirty or forty other Duluth residents
Bates bought several shares and he
further advanced the company $1,000
which would secure him over $4,000

Reorganization of the Insurance
Union Not Officially Announced.

Now that the reorganization of the
Pacific Insurance Union under the
name of the Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, is practically assured. the local
agencies are anxiously awaiting further
instructions from the general agents
at San Francisco. 1t is more than
likely that the final adjustment of the
affairs of the compact will be effected
within the next few days, or ait least
before the first day of February, for
upon that date unless other instruc-
lions are received, the officers and
clerks of the local branch of the union
will step down and out. Some time
ago word came from San Francisco to
the effect that the union would prob
ably not be. in need of clerks or man
ayers on the first of the coming month
and the people in the Salt Lake office
were to hold themselves i'm readiness
for the probable general smashup.

PROPOSED WOOL SECURING PLANTS
One May Be Located MT ogden, An
other at Brigham City.


Great interest is being taken by the
local wool growers in the efforts being
made to secure the establishment of
wool securing plants at both Ogden and
Brigham City. AT the former city the
promoters of the enterprise are east
ern people who propose to organize a
company which will put in tine plant,
provided the citizens of the Junction
City will take $4,000 Of the proposed
$4,000 capital stock, they to retain the
remainder and with 1T the control. The
chamber of commerce is endeavoring to
raise the necessary funds AT Brigham
City the wool men Of Box Elder county
themselves have taken up the matter
and held several meetings at which the
project was thoroughly discussed and a
committee appointed to take THE mat
ter into even more careful considera-
ton.
For many years the sheep men of this
territory have been struggling with the
question of securing plants, but as yet
nothing tangible has come out of the
repeated consultations of the interested
parties. There are many arguments in
favor of the plants and probably as
many against them, and as a result the
wool men repeatedly get together and
as often disagree as to the best course
to pursue. The argument is made that
the Utah woods should not be sent out
of the territory in the grease when so
much better prices could be obtained
Tor the secured article, while on the
other hand 1T is claimed that nothing
would he saved in freight charges by
the securing, for the simple reason that
an advance would be made by the rail
roads on account of the increased value
of the shipment. The eastern plants
can better take care Of the wool in
grease than the same article can be
treated here at home, many Of the
growers argue, while others hold that
securing plants would prove of great
saving to- the wool men.

AUSTRIAN RETALIATION.
1t Will Exceed Anything Done by
Germany or Other Powers.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The new Austrian
minister, NJ. Hengelmuller, is a frequent
visitor at the state department, looking
for information respecting the prospects
of repeal of the special tax on bounty
sugar. Although the formal request in
which he presented the case of his gov
eminent was couched in the most friendly
terms, there is reason to believe that he
has given the state department to under
stand that if some action in the way of
the abatement of the tax is not taken
within a short time, Austria will adopt a
measure of retaliation that will exceed
anything that has been done by Germany
or any other of the European powers. In
formation has been communicated to SEN
ators and members who have undertaken
to forward the repeal bill in order to
stimulate them in their purpose.
