New York, Nov. 19.-The American
Merchant Marine association, of which
Arthur Sewall, late presidential
, candidate of the Democratic party,
was president until lately, and in
which the leading Atlantic coast ship
builders are enrolled as members, has
offices in this city, where the secretary
Of the association, Mr.. Smith, was
seen yesterday. The association in
question was organized last April af-
ter Senator Elkins had introduced his
discriminating duty bill in congress,
which bill proposes to tax imports in
foreign ships 10 per cent ad valorem
more than American ships are taxed,
SO as to give the carrying to American
ships. FIFTEEN Republican and one
Democratic state conventions, the Re
publican national convention and
oresidenu-elect Mckinley have all since
indorsed that policy and it promises to
be one of the legislative reforms of
the incoming administration.
United States Commissioner of
Navigation Chamberlain has just
made public a synopsis of his
forthcoming annual report, in which
he discussed at length, and Sc
verely attacks, the discriminating duty
policy Mr.. Smith was asked what eff
feet, if any, the opposition of Mr..
Chamberlain would have upon the
policy He replied: Mr.. Cham
berlain presents, in opposition, the
best of reasons why the bill should
pass. He says that it would increase
the revenue of the government $685.
052, 1886 annually Did our present tariff
yield a surplus, or even enough revenue
for the needs of the government, such
an addition would be undesirable; but,
considering that our deficit this year
is likely to reach 500, 600, 600, the pro-
posed Elkins bill horizontal 10 per cent
increase of duty would go further to
exc out the governments receipts than
even Congressman Dingley'S emergency
bill, which, understand he says, would
yield but $40,000000 annual revenue.
IF the estimates made by the COM
missioner of navigation as to the
probable increase in the governments
revenues are correct, then it is almost
just the thing we need; but if his OPP
position voices the sentiment of the
president. probably there would be no
serious attempt to pass it until after
March next"
The commissioner objects to discrim-
mating duties. because he fears for
eign retaliation. But just such a bill
as Senator ElkinS has introduced was
a part of our laws from 1889 to 1923;
which we adopted because foreign ma
lions Disseminated against our ships.
We turned that weapon against them
and beat them so badly that during al
most all of the time the act was in
force our own ships carried 80 per cent
of our foreign commerce, while now,
as result of abandoning that policy,
our ships carry but II per cent of our
imports and exports. Foreign retalia-
ton was Intellectual in the old days
and would be Intellectual now. We are
stronger and better able to meet re-
taliation if it is attempted now than
we were in 1882

today to get a rest, as he has been
working pretty hard, too. The little
army of coaches was increased by the
addition OF Stfllnan, who played cen

New York, Nov. 19.-The story of a
San Francisco elopement came to light
in the Butler street police court,
Brooklyn, this morning, when Mrs.
Annie Murdoch was arraigned there on
a charge of disorderly conduct. She is
a rather good-looking woman, was very
stylishly dressed and wore diamond
earrings said 10 be- worth s1,50O, q.
large diamond ring and gold watch
with diamond settings and a fashion
able dress. Her misfortune was due
to having drank too much wine at
dinner last night. The result of that
was that she had a dispute with Mrs.
Mellen, the wife of the proprietor of
Mellens hotel at Fifty-eighth street
and Third avenue, Brooklyn, where she
was temporarily stopping. She went
out there, she admitted, to be near an
officer of the First regiment, U. S. A,
which is now located at Fort Hamilton.
These soldiers were until recently sta
toned at San Francisco. While living
there she met the officer. she said. She
gave his name. AT the time she was
the respected wife of a San Francisco
banker by the name of Murdoch. Her
husband learned of her infatuation for
an army officer and left her. When
the soldiers were sent here she came
along. The banker got a divorce. She
was very penitent in the police court
this morning and Police Justice Tfghe
let her go.

THE GAS TROUBLES.
ELECTRIC COMPANY NOTIFIED TO
CONNECT WITH TUsCARORA.
Formal Notice Served by the Gas

Company Incorporated With a
Capital of Sixty Thousand Dollars

ITO connest or not to connect" is
the question before the Salt Lake and
ogden Gas and Electric Light COM
pany at the present time, and if the
company refuses to make up and
kiss" the New American Gas and Fuel
company proposes to know the reason
why.
AS stated in these columns yesterday.
the electric company has notified the
gas company that it had recinded its
contract with it for the supply of ma
tural gas, and it was stated yesterday
that the company has also notified
Driver and his people that after the
LIST of the month it would refuse to
receive gas from them; and all this is
done in the face of the fact that the
gas company stands ready to furnish
a million feet of gas daily, while as TO
the Driver contingency, it. is under
stood that it is prepared to supply al
most any desired amount.
It is not known what the intention
of the electric company is as to its
future movements, but if this is a
scheme to force the use of artificial
gas upon the public, it will soon find
that it has reckoned without host,
as it VIII be hard to convince the con-
sumers of natural gas that the artificial
article is equally as good; and it is
more than likely that before the COM

the furnishing of the Lake Shore pro-
duct the city council VIII step in and
politely inquire where they are at.
and what they think they are doing?'
AS it is. the gas people propose that
the electric company shall use natural
gas or that il shall be deprived of it's
franchise, and in this the gas company

join in the demand that the city coun-

the destruction of an enterprise in the
welfare of which every citizen of Salt

served the following notice on the
electric company:

The Deafness Of white Cats.

Washington Star: Though 1 had often
heard Of it, never was fully satified that
all white cats are naturally deaf until
recently" said scientific gentleman
who devotes considerable of his time to
experimenting with the lower order of
animals. II was aware that Prof Bel,
in his original experiments in connection
with the telephone had ascertained and
stated that his experience with white
cats was that they were all either deaf
or very deficient in hearing, and that
other experimenters in the same direction
had reached similar conclusions. To sat
isfy myself. l recently secured IN all %
white cats, and experimental on them,
ons at time.
In every case I found them stone deaf.
In carrying the experiment further |
found that white dogs and white horses
are deficient in hearing, and that many
OF them are entirely deaf So are white
rats and white mice. / am confident l do
not oyerstate It in regard to white cats,
though I have only personally expert
mented with %. and, of course, can only
speak positively in regard 10 them I
don't hazard much, however, when l
make the bold statement that all white
rats are deaf

Scott Siddons, an accomplished actress.
and one of the most beautiful women
on the stage in her day. was lineal
descendent of the great tragic muse -
She was born in 1914, in India, where
her father was a captain in the British
military service. Upon the death of her
father, she returned to England with
her mother, and setteled in Somerset
shire, where they remained several
years. She was then sent to Bonn,
where her education was completed. It
was the custom of the institution where
she was a pupil to give dramatic per-
formanceS at the close of the term.
The young girl witnessed a performance
of "Altholie" on one of these occasions,
and at the close of the play asked per-
mission to take part in the next per-
Torrance, which was granted. Six
months later, she made her debut in
German comedy, and her performance
was remarkable On leaving Bonn she
took up her residence at Winchester
where, at the age of II, she met Lieu
tenant Scott, a young naval officer to
whom she was married in 1862. She
made her debut in 1866, at the Theatre
Royal, Nottingham, in the character
of POrtia, in which her famous great
grandmother also appeared upon the
stage. She made her debut on the Lon
don stage as ROsalind, and achieved
the greatest success of her career. In
1865 Mrs. Scott Siddons came to this
country, and made her debut as a
reader at Newport. r. l. In October
of the same year, she gave successful
readings at Steinway hall, New York,
and finally made her first appearance
on the stage in this country at the Bos-
ton Museum. as Rosalind. For Is years

Team and the High School Eleven
VIII Meet on the Gridiron.

The coming football event that casts
the Largest shadows before is the
Thanksgiving day bout between the
University of Utah II and the Cres-

some rigid athletics in preparation for
it.
On the morning of the same day
and at the same place, the junior L.
of U. team and the the High school II
Will assemble to do battle. In their
last scrimmage the Juniors had a large,
adult fall taken out OF them, and they

gan team declared the match off in a
missive as follows:

make any arrangements.
Respectfully yours,

Simpson cast his vote, went home,
washed his face, put on a clean shirt
and sat down TO one of those superb
chicken and-cranberry dinners which
have made Mrs. Simpson famous as a.
cook all over Medicine Lodge.
After Mr.. Simpson had disposed of
two thighs, a wing, the breast and a
gizzard or two of chicken, he

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Fight.

New York, Nov. 19-W K. Wheelock,
the business associate of Dan Stuart,
says that the big Texan Will not be
interested IN any athletic club here,
because he does not believe the people
of New York state would allow the
Corbett- Fftzs:rnmons fight to take
place here "Those persons VINO be-
lieve the big fellows can fight here,
are short sighted said Wheelock;
there was no law in Texas against
prize fighting when Mr.. Stuart under
took to pull off the big fight there,
but public opinion soon forced the gov
ernor to call a special session of the
legislature, at a cost OF $780, and
make one. While there is no law TO
prevent q meeting between the pugil-
lists in this state, I feel sure that if
Governor Morton imagined for one
moment that the bout was billed to
take place, he would not hesitate to
call a, special session of the legislature
and have the law repealed. Mr. Stuart
