Removal of the Crees.

Washington, April 20 - The senate
committee on foreign relations today
took favorable action on Senator Car
tiers proposed amendment to the gene
raj deficiency bill, providing for an
appropriation for the removal of the
Cree Indians from Montana. The
amendment provides that the Indians be
taken to the Canada border by the army
and be delivered to the Canadian author
tiles. Secretary Olney urged immediate
removal of the Indians, saying the
Canadian authorities had agreed twice
to accept the refugees and the proffer
might not be made a third time.

FRANCHISE REVOKED.
The salt Lake City Council Takes
Radical Action on Light Question.

Salt Lake City, April 28.-With only
two negative votes, O'Meara and Newell,
the city council last night passed a res
olution revoking the franchise of the
Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric
Light company. The action was clearly
pre-arranged, as the only member who
expressed surprise and raised his voice
in opposition was O'Meara, Newell vot-
ing against it on technical grounds, at
least that was his explanation when
called upon to record his vote.
The resolution, introduced by Coun-
Gilman Callister, reads as follows:
Whereas, The city council of Salt
Lake city, Utah. did on the 10th day of
May, 1898, by resolution, grantlunto the
Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric
Light company, certain privileges and
franchises mentioned and set forth in
said resolution, whereby the said Salt
Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric Light
company, subject to the terms, condi-
tons and limitations contained in said
resolution, were given the right and
privilege to supply to the inhabitants of
said Salt Lake city electricity, manufac-
tured gas and natural gas for the Pur-
poses of power, light and heating;
"And whereas, said Salt Lake and Og
den Gas and Electric Light company in
violation of the terms, conditions and
limitations of said resolution SO granted
as aforesaid, has disregarded the terms
and conditions thereof, and has refused
to comply with said resolution, and
claims and asserts the right to violate
the same and threatens to continue to
disregard and violate the same not
the said terms, conditions
and limitations contained therein.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
city council of Salt Lake City, that the
said resolution, privileges and franchises
so as aforesaid granted to said Salt Lake
and Ogden Gas and Electric Light Com
oany be and the same are hereby re-
yoked, cancelled, annulled and rescinded. |
"And it Is further resolved, that the
city attorney of Salt Lake City, be and
ne is hereby authorized and directed to
notify said Salt Lake and Ogden Gas

annullment and rescission

SEVEN WENT OUT AT ONCE.
Reform school Inmates Makea Des-
perate and Successful Play

Ogden, April 27.-Seven boys made
desperate and successful attempt to es-
cape from the Reform school last night.
They succeeded in getting out by at
lacking Guard Willard Thomas, over
towering him and leaving the building
The affair happened about o'clock,
just after the boys had been brought
back from supper 1t is the custom to
give one officer holiday every third
Sunday, and. as usual, there were but
two guards with the boys The guards
were Willard Thomas and Thomas My
ers. They took the boys through the
tunnel connecting the main building
with the one where the diniAg room and
kitchen are located. After supper, they
were brought back to the play room.
There were twenty-five of the boys in
their custody. Myers left Thomas with
them while he went back to his supper,
this being the regular custom of the
school.
Hardly was Myers out of sight, when
seven of the boys attacked Thomas saw
agely, beating him with their fists and
striking him to the floor The first to
strike him was William Walquist of Salt
Lake, but the others were not slow in
following. Thomas was stunned and
almost entirely overpowered, but he
struggled and managed to blow his
whistle, summoning the other guard
and Superintendent Allison to the scene. |
Meanwhile, six of the boys ran out.
Their names are; Cecil Cooper Joseph |
Sloan, William Walquist, John Peterson,
Thomas James and Henry Willshepki
The seventh boy, William Russo |, a
colored lad sent here from Salt Lake,
had clinched with the fallen guard and
they were engaged in a rough-and-tum-
BILE fight on the floor. AS the guard was
dazed, the darkey had the better of it.
Thomas kept shouting to Superintend-
ent Allison that all the boys were gone,
but none except the seven made any at
tempt to escape. At the approach of
help Russell left the half-stunned guard
and rushed out The guards followed
anG caught Cooper and Sloan in short
time.
Officers were notified and the police
force was soon in pursuit.
Sheriff Wright, who returned from
California Sunday mornit g, is also out
with his deputies. One officer of the
Reform school has gone east and an
other west, while telegraph and tele-
phone messages have gone in al! direc
lions, and dozens of letters have already
been written by the superintendent to
catch them if other methods fail.

Tortured by Drops OF Water.

One or the Chinese modes of pun
ishment. especially when a confession
is wanted from criminal, is to place
him where drop of water will fall in
one certain spot on his shaven crown
for hours or days. if necessary. The
torture this infiicts is proven by an
experience of Sandow, the strong
man. When he was in Vienna a few
years ago schoolteacher bet him that
he would not be able to let q Lalf-
litre of water drop upon his hand un-
til the measure was exhausted. A
half-itre ia only little more than a
pint. Sandow laughed at the very
idea of his not being able to do this.
So half-litre measure was procured
and hole drilled in the bottom just
sufficient to let the water escope drop
by drop. ..
Then the experiment. began. San
dow laughed and chartered gayly at
first. The schoolmaster kept count
upon the number of drops. At about
the 200 Sandow grew little more
serious. Soon an expression of pain
crossed his face. With the entrance
of the third hundred his hand began
to swell and grow red. Then the skin
bunst. The pain grew more and
more excruciating. Finally, at the
400 drop, Sandow had to give up and
acknowledge himself vanquished.-S.
