6. H. Babcock, the popular and able
traffic manager of the Rio Grande
Western, returned home yesterday
from the east, where he has been on
business. On Monday last, at Chicago,
he met with the chief officers of the
eastern connections of his road to con-
slider the passenger difficulties that
have long existed and believes that
they are now in a fair way to be adj
justed. He reports that there are
many inquiries in the east regarding
Mercur and the development of gold
mining generally in Utah.
Asked as to the railroad bill now
pending in the legislature Mr. Babcock
expressed the opinion that 1t certainly
would fail to pass. Our legislators,
said he, ARE intelligent men and are
OF course familiar with the great area
Of the state and the very meagre mile
age as yet, compared with other re-
Coins. To extend the mileage is what
is desired, because that means the de-
Velopment Of our mineral and other re-
sources. Then. too, these legislators
are familiar with the conditions of rail-
reading in Utah. The tonnage per mile
here as compared with the fully devel-
oped states, is ridiculously small, and
II Is all the roads can do 10 keep above
water. We are encouraging develop
ment in every way possible and max
ing concessions wherever they can be
made. Everyone knows that Now as
to increasing the mileage 1 recommend
ed the extension Of our road south, and
it has been undertaken. but if power
to regulate rates is TO be given to
some commission. it will bring about
a policy Of contraction rather than ex-
pansion. There isn't one mile Of road
in Utah today where there should be
i've, and in my judgment it would be
fatal mistake to enact any such leg
islation as that proposed. There is no
desire Tor such a law on the part Of
the shippers and business men. it is
not aimed at any existing evil and the
effect could not fail to be injurious
1t does not seem to me that there is
necessity for making arguments
against it, because they are apparent
on the face of it."
win you go before the committee?"
Probably I should like to call at
tention to some things that NAV be
Of some use to the committee. A friend

in good"

Some Surprise at the Prospect OF
Railway Legislation.

Some Surprise at the Prospect of
Railway Legislation
The propose railway legislation is
apparently creating some surprise in
the nearby states, owing doubtless 10
the freedom Utah has enjoyed of late
from controversies of any kind regard
ing local rates. The newspapers are
beginning to take it up, and the Idaho
Herald says:
The new state of Utah will have leg
islation thrust upon it that will weigh
it down for all the years to come, i. e.
If the Utah lawmakers establish a
railway commission A railway com
mission for Utah; fOrsoOthi It strikes
US that they had better go slow down
there on such faT-fetched propositions.
as U'tah needs what Idaho is banker
ing after-a dozen more miles of rail-
road. fully that! The contemplated
measure has all the ear-marks of a
fat job for some one. and even if by
some necromancy the bill should pass
both houses the governor could not do
a thing but stamp his veto upon it,
But there is no danger of the bill pass

following to say in the last issue of

ABRADED COIN A LEGAL TENDER

The supreme court of the United
States today, in a case decided by
Chief Justice Fuller, ruled on matter
of general interest.
John b. Morgan and wife were on a
car operated by the Jersey City & Ber-
gen Railroad company. The conductor
refused to accept for their fare a 10
cent piece because he thought it was
not worth par, being worn by abrasion
While circulating as a part of the ma
tional currency. Morgan was elected
from the car and brought suit against
the railroad company for damages. He
received judgment for S315 and costs.
and the judgment was affirmed by the
supreme court of the state. The com
pany sued out a writ of error and
brought the case to the supreme court
of the United States
The chief justice, in his decision, re-
ferred to the law regulating the pass
age of defaced and abraded coins, and
stated that there was no provision
against the passage of silver coins
which We're abraded only by circulation
and that they were legal tender as
long as they bore the semblance of the
coin. There was nothing in the record
for the supreme court of the United
States to review. and the writ of err
ror was dismissed, thus affirming the
judgment of the state supreme court
against the railroad company.-Was ash

Continuing, Balfour said the obsta-

abroad They were to be found at
home. Therefore it was desirable to
impress upon the powerful interests op-
posing it how much the national and

The Figaro and other Paris papers

a few months ago was the most pop

The first evidence Of the storm appeared
about o'clock in the afternoon the air

OF Egyptian blackness hung low over the
city and could be seen for miles beyond
to the southwest. The wind was very
strong. driving the rain before it in sheets.
From the southwest and northeast great
black clouds appeared and moved toward
each other with apparent force.
Remembering the occurrence OF last
May, the people rushed from their houses
and looked with dread on the impending
storm. expecting every minute to be caught
in the grasp OF the twisting and cone-ilke
cloud and dashed into pieces before a
minute passed. The memory OF last May
was fresh tn every mind and in horror II
was thought the terrible scenes OF the
spring were 10 be repeated. Terror was
shown in every face, ana MS the cloud ap-
