HARRY HYNDS Is OUT ON BAIL.
Easily Secured Bonds for $40. 900 for
Murder in First Degree.

Salt Lake, Utah, March Harry
Hynds vas held by Police Justice Wen
ger to the grand jury this afternoon on
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree. His bail, which was fixed at 500
900. was promptly furnished and
Hynds discharged from custody. His
Dondsmen represent several million
dollars. They are w. S. Mccormick,

Hynds takes the matter apparently
very philosophically, endeavoring to
maintain calmness and a stoical

be seen.

MILLIONS IN HORSES.
Raising the Animals to Supply the
Meat Market.

In Germany horse meat has been go
ing up in price recently. owing to the
horses. 1t has been suggested that
horses might be raised in this country
for their flesh, to satisfy the market
demand abroad. 1t is asserted that
they can be produced in the west more
cheapiy than cattle, and might be ship
ped alive across the sea quite as easily.
Or, they could be slaughtered here. the
dressed meat being offered in Germany
or France at a price not greater than
the I cents a pound which working
people over there have been accustom-
ed to pay. In Germany a good deal OF
horse flesh is sold smoked, and i. this
condition likewise it might be furnish
ed by American exporters. Thus farm
ers might again find profit in tho
HOUSEKEEPING Industry, which Of late
has become 50 seriously depressed that
breeders everywhere are going ont OF
the business.
IN 1850 there we're in the United
States $3.50 900 horses. In 1890 there
were l5.49S. 900 horses in this country.
and their total value vas 81, 0O0, 600, 900.
At present the number is about the
same as in 1892, but the estimated
value has gone down to S57G, 730, 900.
Beyond Il doubt this valuation is much
too high. But what "A remarkable story
do these figures tell, They are ac-
counted for partly by a great over pro-
ductiOn of horses during the last few
years. But there has also been a great
diminution of demand. The substitu-
ton of electricity and the cable for the
horse as motive power in local traffic
is an important element in the PROPOSE
ton. Another element not to be over
looked is the bicycle.
But the chief cause of the lesSeued
demand has been the universal Gepres-
sion of business. Merchants who used
to employ eight or 10 horses now get
along with three or four; persons who
formerly kept three or four horses for
private use have found that one or two
will serve. and so it goes everywhere.
In this way tens of thousands of horses
have thrown on the market. shutting
OFF the demand for other horses fresh
from the breeding farms. The end is
not yet, for within a few years car
fares in most of the cities will be re-
duced to 3 cents, further encouraging
the use of those vehicles. Meanwhile
the horseless carriage is looming up as
a common conveyance of the near
future. The condition of the horse
market today is deplorable. Sound
and serviceable animals can be bought
for Sc and s7-such beasts as would
have fetched 500 half a dozen years
ago. The team horse that was worth
5000 but about two years ago may now
be purchased for $40. First-rate car
riage horses and wagon horses cost
just as much as they ever did, because
the supply of them has at no time eX-
ceeded the demand.
Horses furnished a considerable part
of the food supply of the prehistoric
people of Southern Europe 100, 900
years or more ago. To this day are to
be seen at Solutre, in France, accumu-
lations of the bones of al least 10000
horses. which are known as the horse
walls" Many of the bones show traces

AS VIEWED IN

Berlin. March 2.-TAe intention Of
the American government towards the
rebellion in Cuba, as Indicated by the
action of the TnNei o. eEatC,
au1akens profound ESS1t aud Wild
spread discussion here. not only iii the
press and official circles, but i'll all
classes OF society. The questions in
volved are not regarded by any means
as being confined in their efforts to
Spain and the United States. The Cub
an resolution is coupled with Presi-
dent C~leveland's Venezuelan message
in the public mind and there seems to
he 4 deep-seated conviction in the
European mind that these incidents
mark a determination on the part OF
the United States 10 depart from its
time-honored course OF non-interfer-
ence in European affairs. The Ameri-
can action on the Cuban question is,
therefore, regarded as an event of the
first importance to the European
world.
AS to the opinion held OF it here, it
must be said Germany and Austria
stand amazed, and neither statesmen
nor the public know how to regard
what they consider as recent frequent
evidences hat the United States has
formed a new determination to taxi
an active part hereafter in the worlds
politics.
More or less speculation is given, al
so, to the manner in which the United
States expects to reap profit by inter-
vening in Cuba, and much OF the argu-
ment on the question proceeds on the
presumption that it is sought to take
Cuba from Spain for the purpose OF
adding it to the United States.
1t is generally admitted that as a bel
ligerent force Spain would be no match
for the United States in event of hos
tilities arising out of the dispute.
When 1t comes to the merits of the
case upon which the United States
bases its action the opinion holds
tnat Spdlu 5 treatment Oh Nuud udo
been and is brutal, and such as
awakens a sentiment of reprobation.
But, looking further, to the legal as
poets of the case, it is considered that
Spain is still within her rights. which
are secured to her by international
law. in quelling the rebellion in any
possible way. 1t is not believed in Ber-
lin that Spain will brook any interfer-
ence with her course in Cuba, such as
is contemplated by the concurrent res
olution of the senate, and the opinion
is generally held by well-informed
politicians in the Reichstag and In
government circles that the Spanish
government will find an ally against
the United States in Europe should she
find herself compelled to fight against
the United States.
The imbroglio has been the subject

Washington, March CUBA had a
field day in the house. Despite the war
talk from Spain. the struggling patri-
OTIS in Cuba were ~eulogized and sympa-
thized with in a two hours debate and
the rules were then suspended and the
resolutions by the, house foreign af-
fairs committee were adopted as a sub
stitute for those of the senate by an
overwhelming majority. 263 to II. An
analysis of the vote shows that 1873 re-
publicans, 70 democrats and 5 popu-
lists voted for the resolutions, and 8
republicans and s democrats against
them. The debate which preceded
their adoption was animated and
breathed a spirit of liberty. At times
it was exceedingly dramatic, and es-
pecially when forbodings of war were
uttered. but there was no stemming
the strong tide. The galleries were
packed with people attracted by the
prospect of the stirring event. In the
reserved gallery were many prominent
.personages. Even the diplomatic gal
lery, which is usually empty. was
thronged with the representatives of
foreign countries.
On the floor the attendance was the
largest of the session. A number of
senator's came over from the other end
of the capital to watch the proceedings.
The enthusiasm of the members and
the spectators ran riot several times,
and the opponents OF the resolution
cut but a sorry figure when they at
tempted a counter demonstration. Ow-
ing to the brief time allotted for de-
bate members were fortunate in secur-
ing two or three minutes to present
their views.
The house resolution was made a
substitute for the resolutions passed
by the senate. which will bring about
a conference between the two bodies.
The senate resolution directing the
secretary Of agriculture to purchase
and distribute seeds, authorized by the
present law. was adopted.

ton reported by the house foreign af-
fairs committee, for recognizing Cuban
