Trend of Events.

NEW YORK, April pa special to
the World from London says:
The trend of events is toward Sc
rious crisis in South Africa, in the opin-
ion of the best informed British politi-
clans. The refusal of President Krue-
ger will subject Mr.. Chamberlain to
great pressure to compel Mr.. Kruger
to grant immediate reforms to the
( Uitlanders, in the South African re-
public.
A large British force would have been
landed before now at Capetown had
not Mr.. Chamberlain been solemnly
warned by Sir Hercules Robinson that
such action would certainly provoke
race war throughout the colony.
One of the first acts Of the Capetown
parliament, the government here learns,
would be to call for the revocation OF
the charter of the British South African
company. 1t is likely moreover that
resolution expressing sympathy with
President Kruger will be adopted. The
plea of guilty of treason, entered at
Pretoria by the leaders of the johann
nesburg reform union, is well under
stood here to have been made in order
to hush up an inquiry which would
result in the disclosures that would
render the continuance of the COM
pany's charter impossible 1t is now
deemed highly probable that, with the
same object in view, Jameson and his
confederates here will also plead guilty.

Among all the railroad building
projects which have been on the taps
for weeks past the Salt Lake & Pacific
will be the first to begin actual opera
tons in construction. This much is
assured, and work will begin within
ten days at the outside.
This pleasing bit of information was
given out by Abraham H. Cannon,
secretary of the Salt Lake e. Pacific
company, yesterday. The directory of
the company will hold a meeting early
in the week and decide upon the details
of construction, whether or not the
contracts for grading will be let by
bid or at fixed price per yard for
moving dirt, etc. They will then let the
contracts and work will begin at once.
1t is the expectation of the company,
as stated, that the first sod will be
turned within ten days, and from that
time on the building of the Salt Lake
d Pacific will progress without cessa-
ton, if the anticipations of the COM
pany are realized
The work will begin at the end Of
the Salt Lake & Los Angeles road at
Saltair and will be carried along to
Lake Point, from which place the line
is to branch off for the Deep Creek
country, the ultimate objective point,
via either Rush or Skull valley.
While the work of building to Lake
Point is in progress, the engineers
will complete their surveys and are
expected to have finished and reported
sufficiently for an advance of the
completion of the road to the point, to
enable the company to decide upon
the route to be adopted and be ready
to proceed with the grading without
any delay.
In substance these are the plans of
the company as outlined at present,
further than which the officers are
not ready to make any statement I'M
til the construction is actually in pro-
gress and they have received the final
report of the engineers.
The time required to complete the
road from Saltair to Lake Point, which
is about seven miles in distance, is
regarded by the company as ample to
enable them to fully carry out their
plans with reference to continuing
with the construction without cessa-
ton.
1t has not been so announced, but it
is understood that arrangements will
be made to suitably observe the &C.
casion of the turning Of the first SOD.
CHANGE IN DIRECTORS.
The directors of the Utah and Pa
cific Improvement company had spe-
cial meeting yesterday to. receive the
resignation of President Milford Wood
ruff and President Joseph F. Smith
from the board. Colonel John r. Win
der was elected to succeed President
Woodruff and w. A. Rossiter to sue
coed President Smith.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD OUTLOOK.
De Lamar Pulls For the Old Grade
Through the Settlements.

De Lamar Pulls For the Old Grade
Through the Settlements.
That Captain J. R. DeLamar is pull
ing for railroad to Phoebe, New, and
on to DeLamar, is a well known fact
in railroad circles.
That the road south will be built this
way is not improbable, as, by using
the roadbed already graded from Mil
ford to Glover Valley, a large expendi-
ture of money will be done away with;
and as corps of engineers recently
went over the route, the construction
of such a line now seems to be almost
an assured fact; but whether by the
Utah & California company, or some
other, remains to be seen.
A gentleman who is we'll posted con-
corning the affairs of the Utah & Cali
fornia company maintains that it will
build through the settlements, taking
in Beaver, ParoWan, Cedar City, Ka-
nara and St. George in its route, and
it is believed that it will begin opera
tons at point in Beaver
county about an equal distance from
the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande
western railroads, the object of this
stragetic move being to obtain bids
from both roads, the one making the
most f1attering offering to be awarded
the privilege of making connections
with it. If it comes from the Rio
Grande Western this road will be able
to move directly on to the coast. If
the Union Pacific proves to be the
highest bidder. it will probably run a
branch from it's main line at or near
Oasis in order to make connections
Should the Union Pacific claim the
plum, the road along the old Milford
grade will also most likely be built,
with a possibility that it will make
connections with the Utah & California
main line after leaving Glover valley;
from which point a spur will be run
into Phoebe and possibly on to De
Lamar.
1t is an assured fact, almost, that if
left out in the cold, the Rio Grande
Western will build on from Marysvale
over into Cedar valley, in Iron county,
and on to the coast, and in doing this,
it will give the other lines a thrilling
race as it is we'll equipped for speedy
and active building.
In all events, the southern country
is almost assured of railroad facilities
at an early day.
