Distinguished Railroad Men.

A party of distinguished eastern peo-
pie arrived in the city last evening
over the Union Pacific. The party is
composed of ]. B. Clark, president of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
and the New England railroads; N. W.
Rice. director in the New England,
and their families. They are CHARTERED
at the Knutsford and will remain in
Salt Lake over Sunday.
It was at first thought the visit of
the gentlemen had a local significance
in a railroad connection, but both en-
tered a disclaimer to any such interest
when seen last evening. I'VE are sim
ply on pleasure and sightseeing bent, -
said Mr.. Clark.
Neither Mr. Rice nor myself had
ever been west of the Mississippi and
we accordingly availed ourselves of an
opportunity to see something Of the
great west. We have no railroad inter
ests in the west and are not here to
buy a road or to become interested in
any way
In speaking of the western railroads
Mr.. Clark said:
II am amazed at what have seen of
western railroads, their extent the eX-
cellence of the road beds, the rolling
stock and power, are all SO much be-
yond what / expected that / am posi-
lively astonished."
The party has toured the coast and
is now on the return journey east
They viii see all the points of interest
in Salt Lake today and tomorrow and
leave Monday for Glenwood Springs
pver the Rio Grande Western.

Do Not Believe That Cleveland Will
Take Action.
NEW YORK, April 10.-A special to
the World from Madrid, Spain, says:
A better feeling prevails, especially
among the journalists and the politi-
clans, because of the sympathy for
Spain displayed by the press OF Eu-
rope, especially that of France. Be
sides, official kilograms from the Span
ish legation in Washington assure this
government that President Cleveland
will take no action on the Cuban res
olutions adopted by congress, and will
not move at all in the matter until the
war in Cuba takes some decisive turn.
The improved feeling and the guard
ed tone OF the Spanish press materially
aid the authorities in checking anti
American demonstrations, winch are
now promoted exclusively by republic
cans.
Senior Sagaste, having been question
ed by his followers regarding the COM
ing elections in Cuba, declares:
L consider it is carrying fiction too
far to bring into parliament an alleg
ed representation of Cuba. 1 deny alb
solutely the legality of the powers
which summon hitler those who will
come to the next parliament styling
themselves deputies OF Cuba.
Elections are impossible where war
has destroyed the electoral machinery,
and where the electors can only move
amid the bayonets of our soldiers in
districts occupied by our troops or with
a passport delivered by the insurgents
in. the extensive territory they hold.
THAT the representation of Cuba in
parliament should have no other orr
gin than force represented by a gov
ernor general, is a scandal. l cannot
countenance it. My attitude. is the
logical sequence of what 1 have al
ways believed and what 1 have declar-
ed on various occasions since the dis
solution of the last house was mooted.
Il therefore insist that the deputies
from Cuba will lack all authority; will
not be legal Representatives of the col
only in the cortes because they repre-
sent no other suffrage than that of the
governor general.
And as 1 will not recognize those
deputies as legitimate, l will select an
opportune moment to make public and
formal protest"
Senior Sagasta's views are shared by
the liberals, the republicans and the
dissenting conservatives.
Both Governor General Weyler in
Cuba and Governor General Martin in
Porto Rico, in order to satisfy the To-
cal reactionary parties, have modified
the apportionment of seats to suit the
proteges of members of the cabinet
and of home politicians.

Portland Conrentinn

PORTLAND, Ore, April 1O.-The Re-
publicans today adopted a platform
which declares for the use of both gold
and silver with such restrictions as
VIII secure the maintenance of the
values Of the two metals. The dele
gates to the national convention were
instructed to vote for Mckinley for
president. The following is the finan-
clal plank in full:
The American people from tradition
and interest favor bimetallism. and the
Republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard money
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by Iegis-
lation, as will secure the maintenance
OF the parity of values of the two met
ais, so that the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether
of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all
times equal The interest of the pro
ducers of the country-its farmers and
its kingmen-demand that every
dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
government, shall be as good as any
other dollar.
The following resolution, which was
offered as a substitute for the finan-
cial plank of the platform, was defeat
ed by vote of 129 TO 10S:
Resolved, That we favor the use of
both gold and silver to the extent at
which they can be maintained in cir

1t appears that the Rio Grande West
err railway people are keeping well
abreast of the times in the extensions
and proposed extensions of their lines.
A surveying party has been at work
for that company for a week or more
on proposed line from somewhere
in the neighborhood of Provo to Park
City with the ultimate end in view of
running to the Uintah reservation
when that tract will be thrown open to
settlers
Just at what point the new line will
tap the Rio Grande Western railways
southern line is not decided, but it
WILL according 20 the present plans,
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
Provo city. The line will run as near
as may be to Provo bench and through
Provo canyon to the Park. 1t was not
ed in The Herald a week ago that
surveying party was at work in that
region. but it only leaked out yesterday
that they were there in the interest
of the Rio Grande Western road and
that their destination was Uintah via
Park City.

Especial TO Tho Herald>.

Especial 10 Tho Herald).
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The lead
ing editorial in this mornings Post
says:
Although the officials of the Nor
mon church have, for some years past,
persistently striven to avoid giving Of
Tense to politicians, they have conspic-
uously failed to attain that object.
ITO the unprecedented observer they
have appeared to be extremely anxious
to ward off political hostility from all
directions by minding their own bust
ness.
But the result of their efforts has
been a succession of attacks.
'On the 18th inst. the Deseret News
published long address to the Off
GERS and members of the organization.
The document treated of church and
state and was signed by all the high
officials of the church, except Moses
Thatcher, one of the apostles. y
The Post proceeds to quote from the
address of the church officials and
says:
1T seems to us that this statement
furnishes no ground for fresh as
sault on the Utah Mormons, but they
are catching it all the same.
I'VE do not think that there would
be protest from the organs of any
party if the Methodist, the Catholic
or the Episcopal church should apply
to its bishops the rule laid down by the
Mormons. There are obligations as
sumed by. and duties devolved on, the
leading officials of the church that
are altogether inconsistent with po-
litical office-seek1ng or office-holding.
1t seems to us that it is about time
for all parties to let up on the Latter
day Saints. Their earnest desire to
keep their church as an organization
out of politics ought to win for them
something better than abusive mis-
representation"

Killed His Wife and Children Be-
cause of Want.
MUSKEGON, Mich, April 1O.-News
has been received from Pentwater of a
bold attempt on the life of William o.
Sands, president of the Sands and
Maxwell Lumber company, last night.
When he was within a few yards of
home, H. B. Minchall jumped from be-
hind corner and commenced shooting
at him. Sands ran across the street
and the would-be assassin kept up the
fire. Five shots were fired, three hit
ting him in the right arm and one in
the leg. MinchaH Immediately went
home, shot his wife and two children
and then took his own life.
The officers found MinchalPs resi-
dence locked and broke in the door A
horrible sight was. presented. Mrs
Minchall was lying on the floor of the
sitting-room with a bullet hole in her
temple. Near her was the dead body
of her daughter, about Is years old. In
a corner lay Minchall with an empty
revolver clinched in his hand. He, too,
was dead. In the adjoining room were
found the bodies of George, aged a, and
the infant brother. They were in bed
together and death evidently came
upon them while they slept. The mo-
tive for Minchalrs crime is a mystery,
but it is thought the inquest now VI
progress will clear the mystery. Min
chall was an insurance agent and at
torney. He left a long letter, the gist
of which was that Sands promised him
all his company's business and now
demanded third of the commission.
Minchall was badly involved, and his
extreme love for his family prompted
him to kill them. rather than TO see
them suffer.

Organized Briganda ge.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-A special to
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
The official Journal, in the course of a.
strong article on SPANS determined
efforts to suppress the instruction
in Cuba, says the instruction is merely
organized brigandage, hence the in
surgents have no right to be consid-
cred belligerents. The revolters con-
sist merely of bands who have over
run the country, giving themselves
over to depredations and retiring when
the troops arrive. 1t is sufficient says
the Journal, to state that the chiefs
of the instruction are negroes, like
Maceo, or strangers, like Roloff and
Maxine Gomez. They have in their
possession neither coast line nor any
seaport placing them in connection
with foreign nayieS

Yesterday.


Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The house
committee on Pacific railroads met to-
day to consider the first printed copy
of the bill prepared by the house and
senate subcommittee. Nothing was
accomplished but an informal discus
sion Of the bill led to several amend
ments in it's wording which do not
affect the plan, but tend to prevent
evasions OF its interest. Considerable
difference of. opinion was shown upon
the details of the measure, but it is
predicted that the bill will be reported
practically as it was introduced. Mr..
Boatner, Of Louisiana, who led the op-
position to the Reilly bill, is not now
in congress and it is not certain that
any minority report will be made, al
though Mr.. Hubbard, of Missouri,

duced a bill for foreclosure on the pro-
