ENTHUSIASM IN UTAH.
The Good NetUs Causes Much General Re
jOicing.

The Good NetoS Causes M ch General Re
jOicing.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Jan. 4.-The news
received this morning that President
Cleveland had signed the State proclama-
ton for Utah was the occasion of great
demonstrations of Joy. Public buildings
and places of business are decorated and
flags and bunting float in the breeze every
where. Governor West was the recipient
of numerous congratulatory kilograms
from every quarter OF the Nation.
The day was observed as partial holt
day, and the people smiled and congratu-
lated each other as happy as children with
a new toy. Cannons were fired, bells rung
and whistles blown for hours, and similar
demonstrations were made in every town
and village in the State.
On Monday the new State officers will be
inaugurated, and the Governor has pro-
claimed a general holiday. There will be
military displays, children's parade, pa tri-
otto orations, an inaugural address by the
Governor and other exercises, closing with
grand ball and fireworks in the evening.
The State Legislature is called to meet
in special session and will convene at 9
P. NJ on Monday.
The Senatorial fight is growing warmer
daily. Arthur Browns prospects are i'm
proving, and G. S. Variants stock has also
advanced the past few days. A new can
didate, and one who will be quite factor,
Is Philo Farnsworth. Ex-Congressman
Frank Cannon is generally considered out
of the race, it being conceded that he will
give place to his father, George @. Can
non, who, without doubt, wants the Office,
and anything that George Q. Cannon
wants in Utah he generally gets. The
other strongest man in the race is Colonel
Isaac Trumbo, who, in addition to a good
share OF the GENTLE support, has, it is
understood, the support of the leading
Mormon Church officials, including that OF
George Q. Cannon, who thinks Trumbo
would be fitting colleague for himself in
the Senate.

berlain's appeal to President Kruger to
| deal generously with the British South
African prisoners is derided by the
| German press, which declare that sum-
mary trial by court m artial, followed by
| the prompt execution of the leaders Of the
raid, commends itself to German opinion
as the proper mode of procedure in their
case. A strict application of the law in
vo1ving the sacrifice of the lives of the
rank and file OF the prisoners would not
meet approval here, but it is the general
opinion that an example ought to be made
Of the leaders.
1t has transpired thai the Emperor has
had serious quarrel with Prince Fred
erick Leopold of Prussia, the husband of
Princess Louise Sophie of Schleswig-
Holstein, sister of the Empress, over the
recent accident to the Princess while
skating near Glenicke Castle, Potsdam,
when the Princess and one of the ladies of
the court, Baroness Conan, broke through
the ice and came very near drowning. 1t
appears that the Emperor upbraided the
Prince for the indifference of his treat
ment of his wife and the Prince useG some
pretty rough words in replying to the
Kaiser's rebuke The Emperor thereupon
with confinement in a room in his castle
for that length of time. The Kaiser i'm
mediately telegraphed for detachment OF
the First Guards to be sent from Potsdam
to GIenicke Castle to guard the Prince,
and he has since been confined there, not
being permitted to leave his chamber upon
any pretext.
The prospects of an amicable settlement
of the question affecting American insur-
ance companies are improving. Baron
Won der Horst, the Prussian Minister OF
the Interior, is conducting negotiations in
a most friendly spirit, which leads to the
expectations that an agreement will be
reached for a modification of the laws now
operating against the American insurance
companies.
The Berlin Misunderstanding deyotes con-
siderable space to the publication OF COM
plants of the increasing difficulties and
vexatious treatment which beset importers
of German goods in New York. The paper
says that the American consular authorl-
ties admit that the treatment showD to
these importers is in retaliation for
measures adopted by Germany which are
impeding imports from New York into
Germany.

IN THE SMOKE,
Two Persons Met Death and
Four Were Injured Dur
ing a Fire.
Miraculous Escape of Twenty Men
and Six Children From the
Flames.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. A fire
which swept through a combined store,
hall and tenement four-story brick struct-
ure at the corner of Third and Gaskill
streets this afternoon resulted in the death
OF two men and the serious injury of four
others, all Polish Jews. The escape of at
least twenty men and six children, all OF
whom were penned in by the flames, was
little short of miraculous. The money loss
is about $4,000.
The dead: Harris Levi, aged 45 years,
suffocated; Marks Feinberg, aged 80 years,
spine fractured and internally injured,
died at the hospital.
The injured are: Jacob Venisky, aged %
years; Lewis Workman, aged SO years
David Kolinsky, aged SO; Bernard Balbin-
sky aged %.
The fire is supposed to have been started
by lighted match being thrown care
lessly into the cellar by an unknown per-
son and which landed among some oil
barrels. In an instant the cellar was a
mass OF flames and the fire quickly spread.
A score of tailors had been holding a
meeting on the third floor, and when the
building became enveloped in flames the
men made wild rush to escape by the
stairway. The smoke forced them back
! and then they ran to the windows.
One of the number jumped from window
and crashed through a canvas awning.
He landed on the sidewalk but little hurt.
This actuated a dozen others to Jump, the
awning also breaking their fall.
By this time the awning was torn so
badly that it offered but little resistance to
the jumpers, and when Jacob Veniskv
plunged downward, head first, he went
through the canvass and struck on the
sidewalk with terrific force. Levi remained
In the center window screaming for help
and apparently afraid to Jump. Suddenly
he fell back into the building ana was sui
located. Feinberg went to rear room
and hung from a window-sill, begging the
crowd to save him. The crowd tried to
build a pyramid of barrels, but the heat
caused the man to release his hold and he
fell, striking the back of his neck on bar
rel. The force of the fall wedged his body
IN barrel, and he was breathing his last
when released.
Jennie Sellers, aged Is years, saved the
life of herself and her five brothers and
sisters by going to the roof and dropping
them to the roofs of adjoining buildings
the children finally reaching the ground

Thurber were alone in the President
Office at the time and the signing was done
with steel stub pen affixed to wooden
penhoIder. The pen and penholder were
presented to Governor West of Utah, who
came to the White House about the time
the proclamation was signed.

formal language OF such documents, and
Invested of its verbiage, merely certities TO
the legality of the constitutional conven-
ton and its acts under authority of the

clares that the terms and conditions pre-
scribed by Congress having been complied
with, the creation of the State and its ad-
mission into the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original States is now accom-
plished.

ADMIRAL BUNCE,s SQUADRON.
Much Speculation Concerning It's Future



Much Speculation Concerning Its Future
1IorenentS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-The de-
tention of Admiral Bunce's squadron at
Hampton Roads for the last two weeks,
although it was ready to commence its
cruise promptly on December 81, accord
ing to the programme laid down by Secre-
tary Herbert, was at first generally sup
posed to be due to a reluctance on the part
Of the administration to permit even the
implied menace Of its presence in the West
Indies during the excitement following the
Presidents Venezuelan message to Con-
gress of December IS. The explanation
was plausible enough to satisfy every one
for several days. Now even the command
ing, officers of the ships forming the fleet
are beginning to be mystifed by the pro-
Ionged delay.
Such absence of information about a
squadron's movements is said to be I'M
precedented in times of peace, and espe-
cially when its daily itinerary for the en-
suing five months had been published and
as the wives and other relatives of many
of the officers had made engagements to
meet the vessels at several ports where
they would rendezvous for several days'
stay. There is considerable concern lest
the meetings will be rendered altogether
impossible.
Driven to speculation all sorts Of rumors
are in circulation about the ships accord
ing to letters received here, and the latest
of these, which is not wholly without be-
levers even in the Navy Department,
proceeds on the assumption that Admiral
Bunce has sealed orders which may at any
moment send him with his entire feet to
the Bosphorus.
Even the more conservative officers are
disposed to attach some credence to the
idea, modifying it, however, to the opinion
that Gibraltar or the Azores nav be the
first stopping place of the squadron after
leaving the Chesapeake, instead of St.
Thomas, West Indies. There are a num-
Der of significant facts which, grouped to-
gether, seem TO give probability to the
rumor.
Admiral Selfridge and Minister Terrell
have been sending a good many cable
grams to Washington in the last three
weeks and the State and Navy depart
ments have spared no expense in cable
bills since early in December.
On December q it was announced that
dispatch of general instructions had been
sent to Admiral Selfridge to furnish all
protection and comfort to such mission
aries as might apply, and almost stimuli
taneously came the press dispatch from
Turkey that Admiral Selfridge had cabled
the Navy Department that he was unable
to carry out his instructions, whatever
they were, because of insufficient force.
The following day Admiral Bunce came to
Washington and had long interview
with Secretary Herbert, after which the
Secretary said that the time of the fleet s
departure was indefinite. Some of Ad-
miral Bunce's subordinates now think that
Secretary Herbert gave the admiral sealed
instructions at the last interview, which
were only to be opened at sea under agreed
conditions. These conditions, if this be
so, would, of course. depend upon further
adYices from Minister Terrell.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 4.-The estate of

The estate is valued at $25, 900, all in per-

some time before his death
