A Yearling in the Field.

Salisbury is reported as planning a
surprise for the sporting world by
pitting the little year old PAGER,
Directly, against such horses as
Robert j., Joe Patchen, John r.
Gentry and all corners in the free
{or.all.class.
Mr.. Salisbury says that since the
black colt is barred from every
three year old race, thus far an
nounced, except one at Denver and
one at Detroit, he will probably be
forced to start him against the
champions, or else let him remain
idle in the stable, and the latter
course is one that is not in har-
mony with his ideas.

PANAMA RAILROAD.
Refuses to Prorate With the Pac tc
Steamship Company-Court
Orders.

NEW YORK, May l3-The an
nOuncement by the Panama Rail
road that it will not prorate with
the Pacific steamship Co., will
probably result in a prolonged
legal fight. The Pacific mail Of
ticials have made a statement, in
which they say: "On March II,
Judges Van Brink and Parker
practically enjOined the Panama
railroad lCo. from engaging direct
ly in carrying on any service by
vessel between the ports Of Pana-
ma and Acapulco, and other ports
between those places, giving eX-
elusive privilege to any other par
ty than the Panama Mail Co. The
Panama Railroad Co. was also en-
joined perpetually from entering
into any contract with any other
company conducting steamship
services between Panama and
Acapulco, or any other informed
late point, for the purpose Of d.
verting business to any company
other than the Pacific Mail COM
pany.
"These are the words OF the in
junction order, and in view Of
them the practical effect OF the
Panama roads action is simply to
raise through rates not only to. the
Pacific Mail Co., but all other COM
panies, even to its own company.
1t simply means if persisted in
revCrsion OF business sooner or la
ter, to other transit routes than
that OF Panama. But what the
Panama people can mean by in.
juring their own lines we do not
know. 1t will cost the Panama
railroad millions Of dollars, and
will simply cost us temporary in
convenience. We can arrange for
shipments across the country, by
some other route at lower rates.
II continued it will be great boom
for the Tehauntrpec railroad. Di-
rector Oppenhcimer says that the
Panama railroad will put on a
line OF steamers between New Or
leans and Colon at once.

Whaling Interest Revives

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 10
Since the barks A. r. Tucker and
Canton, belonging to J. w. Wing d
Co., of this city, arrived from Hud-
son bay last year, with good catches
of whalebone that sold at from
$l.75 to 81 a pound. Interest in
whaling in that latitude has great.
ly revived, and both vessels have
been retitted and sailed again for
the bay with the intention Of win
tering there. Previous to last year
whalers only from Scottish ports
had been there for several years.
The belief is almost a certainty
that a northwest passage exits and
that whales that have been hunted
in the vicinity Of the mouth Of the
Mackenzie river and become shy,
have come through into Hudson's
bay and on the coast OF Greenland.
Irons have been found in whales
killed on one side that were struck
in previous years on the other side.

JAPANESE sAVAGEY.
The Wounded Chinese Killed on the
Field of Battle.


NEW YORK, May l3.-The World
has the following special advices
from Toxic, via San Francisco:
THE last battle of the war be-
tween Japan and China at Tien
Schwag Tai, March 10, resulted in
butchery equalling the atrocities
OF Port Arthur. 1t demonstrated
that the common soldiers OF both
Oriental races are blOOdthirsty and
as brutal as the American Indians.
The Custer massacre was not more
horrible than the slaughter Of the
Chinese by the Japanese at Tien
Tschwag Tai. Tien Tschwag Tai is
in Manchuria, only few miles from
New Chwang. The Chinese under
Gen. Sung had fortified it. Forty
thousand japanese infantry and
5000 cavalry and artillery attacked
Gen. Sung's position. The Chinese
were routed and the Japanese en-
tered the town and began the
slaughter. Though LAB Chinese
were killed, only one wounded Chi.
naman was taken prisoner.
"The wounded were dispatched on
the field in the American Indian
style. Then the town was sacked
and burned. Letters from eye
witnesses described the butchery as

ThOrne and .. c. Seeley, charged
with the murder Of Frank Ledger,
whose body was found in the river
last September, has been COM
pleted. Though there was much
circumstantial evidence against

that OF two female inmates OF a

said in view OF the contradictory
evidence they had given before the
COroner's jury he could not place
much confidence in their testi-
mony and therefore discharged the

New YORK, May l3.-Since the

faction among her blue-jackets. OF
those who have been granted shore

NEW YORK, May ia special

Cuba says:
"The whole situation in Cuba has
changed. There is a continual eX-
odus OF white people from Santiago
now,whereas, up to a week ago, the
reports OF numerous departures
for the field were incorrect. Nearly
one hundred mem bers OF the Filar-
monica and San Carlos clubs have
gone into the country.
"The government OF the island is
alarmed, but is divided in it's coun-
ellis as to the expediency of send
ing to Spain for more troops. Gen.
Salcedo thinks it would be useless
to bring over any more raw, unac-
climated soldiers.
at is proposed to call out those
Spanish eX-soldiers who have
served their time in the army and
have been given discharge papers,
and who are living in Cuba. Sew
eral thousand men can be obtained
in this manner. Puerto Principe is
still reported quiet.
"Gen. Maceo has nearly 5000
men at Barnabacoa plantation, two
leagues from Songo. All the Span
ish troops at the latter place were
sent to San Luis, which was threat
ened with a raid. One thousand
Spanish soldiers left San Luis last

"MY COUNTRY, IT'S OF THEE !
FAILURE.

One of the curious facts about the. cele-
Fair grounds by the assembled citizen
soldiers of the land is the prominence
given to the fact that troops and WISH
tors are expected to join in what is
called the national anthem, MY Country
'TiS of Thee" This song, composed by
an amiable Eastern gentleman to the air
of God Save the King" comes about as
near being a national hymn, as the Brit
ish Tag comes to being our national
standard. 1t is founded on a stolen
theme, and its wording is not worthy. Its
place is in a musical museum not in an
American camp. 1t is an adaptation, and
that is all.
Nor are we so poor in song, that we
are forced to take up and revamp the
cast-off melodies of Great Britain and
Germany. We have IHe terrible Battle

to France, or DE Wacht am Rhein" to
Germany. 1t is simple. 1t is noble 1t

MORE HIGHER CRITICISM.

And now comes Major General Tulloch,
of England, who not only tells US thai
the passage of the Jews dry shod across
the Red Sea might easily have happened
as recorded, .. secs on to say that the
same thing could occur in these days i
people would only watch their opportun
ity.
General Tulloch, it appears, has Re
Gently been conducting a survey for tn
BRUSH government of that part of Egyp.
through which the route of the Exodus
was laid; and in one of his reports ne
tells of storm which occurred last
spring and which reproduced almost iden-
tlcally the conditions unuer which the
Jews are described in the scripture as
having escaped from Egypt INTO the
promised land. He says the wind was
so terrific that within a few hours the
waters had been swept away out of
sight, leaving the vessels stranded high
and dry and the sand exposed so that an
army might have walked across in per
feet safety.
Evidently this is what happened to the
fugitive Jews in the days of Moses, and
While it divests the incident of all its
miraculous attributes, it at the same time
snences the scoffers and skeptics VINO
have endeavored to cast doubt upon the
Mosaic record of the distant past. Very
likely a great many more of the SO-called
phenomena with which the history -
that time is so literally furnished can be
explained upon grounds equally cOngru-
GUS with reason and modern experience.

Gratis were likely to do or not to do.
The Republican party was entrenched
in power. The effects of the panic
continued half dozen years or mSre.
1t was a Republican panic to all in
tents and purposes if party legislation
had anything to do with it.
Ten years later there was another
panic under similar party influences.
The panic of 1893, by the Tribune's
own showing, sprung from the same
evil root. That also was Republican
panic, the fruits of Republican legis-
lation have been felt for a series of
years, variously stated by our self
contradictory neighbor at 80, 10 and
10 years. No matter how long or how
short time it took to bring the Gull
mination, the root and source and
cause of it all was on Tribune show
ing, Republican evil legislation. If
these proofs from Tribune editorials
are not sufficient, we can Gull columns
more from the pages of our forgetful

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.

The sad and sudden death of Judge
Moses Kirkpatrick, particulars of which
will be found in another part of this
issue of The Herald, will cause great
grief in this city as well as at the
home of the departed. Kirk as his
numerous friends were accustomed to
call him, was regarded here with as
much affection as respect While
esteemed for his eminent legal abili-
ties, he was loved for his unostenta-
tious and cordial manners and lis
kindly and fraternal spirit. In early
times here he was among the most
noted of the lawyers who were famed
for their learning and their talents,
and was associated in partnership
with the foremost firms in the pro-
fession. When he moved to Montana
1t was felt that Salt Lake had lost one
OF Its brightest legal lights and most
genial social elements. Now we SYM
pathize with the people of Butte and
deeply condole with his bereaved and
sorrowing family. The Herald joins
IN the general lamentation, and
mourns with a host of friends who
say farewell to Kirk with sad hearts
and a regret too deep to be expressed.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Next Saturday there will be a nota-
bic gathering in this city. On that
day the Convention of Democratic So
cieties of Utah will assemble in the
Theatre. These organizations are being
perfected throughout the territory
They have been measurably quiescent
since the activity of the last political
campaign. Now they are stirring into
active life, putting themselves in or
der, filling up their ranks and pre-
pairing for the new and important
struggle that is to come. Delegates
from all parts of Utah will be present
at the convention on the 18th inst
A new feature in that convention
will be the attendance of ladies as
fully accredited delegates. The women
of Utah, having been endowed by the
State Constitution with political rights
and privileges, fully equal with those
of male citizens, they have been invited
to become enrolled in the Democratic
societies of their respective localities.
Many of them have responded. The
plan has not been to organize separate
woman's clubs, as enormously stated
by contemporary, but to enroll them
side by side with men in the great
Democratic army.
1t makes no difference in this re-
spect whether the women shall be per
mited to vote for state officers, or for
the Constitution, or for both or for
neither, at the November election. The
Democratic party having succeeded in
securing for them political equality
with men, is determined that they
shall exercise the rights bestowed
upon them and not enjoy them merely
in name. They will, therefore, have
voice in the selection of candidates for
the various officers in the gift of the
people, whether the courts shall deter
mine OF not that they have the right
under the Constitution and the enab-
ling act to cast their votes at the next
fall election.
1t is to be hoped that no society
claiming to be Democratic in any part
of Utah will be without full representa-
ton at the Convention of next Satur-
day. It ought to be grand gathering
of representative men and women from
the Democratic hosts who will rally
to the polls next November and win
q signal victory for the party. It should
