Cases Argued and Submitted.

The first case argued yesterday be-
fore their honors was that of r. H.
Whipple, appellant, VS.. H. H. Hender-
son. respondent Kimball. Allison &,
Johnson were the attorneys for the
appellant, and Weber & Haywood for
the respondent.
The action was brought by Mr..
Whipple against Henderson for the
usurpation of the office of city attorney
of Ogden City. The complaint set out
that the plaintiff on January 26, 1894,
was the legally appointed and quail
fled city attorney of ogden City, not
standing which on January 26, 1896, the
mayor appointed and the city council
confirmed the defendant H. H. Hender-
son as city attorney on the erroneous
ground that the city attorney of Ogden
can be appointed instead Of elected.
The defendant demurred to the COM
plant on the ground that the COM
plant did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action. The dis
trict court sustained the demurrer, the
plaintiff refused to amend and ap-
pealed from the ruling on the de-
murrer.
The case was argued and submitted.
ANOTHER QUO WARRANTO.
The other case was that of the State
Willis T. Beardsley ct al, appellants.
This also was proceeding in the ma
ture of quo warranto. The plaintiff
alleged that the defendant Beardsley
was appointed auditor of public &C
counts of Ogden City in January, 1894,
for the term of two years, and has
ever since acted as such auditor, and
that in January, 1896, the mayor ap-
pointed the plaintiff Hume to the Of
fee, Beardsley's term having expired;
but it is alleged the members Of the
city council entered into conspiracy
not to confirm this appointment, or
any of the mayors appointments. The
plaintiff demanded judgment ousting
Beardsley and turning over the office
to the plaintiff.
Judgment was rendered for the
plaintiff, ousting Beardsley, from
which the appeal was taken.
Attorneys E. NJ. Allison, jr., Whipple
and Johnson appeared for the appel
liant and Haywood. Weber, Richards
and Mcmillan for the respondent.
After arguments their honors took
the case under Amusement.

Another Guess.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail believes
that it has already been resolved to
respite the Competitor prisoners ait Ha-
wanna, the queen regent being especially
DESTROYS to avoid complications. The
ministers, the correspondent contends,
are with her and will do nothing to jeo-
pardize the position of Cuba. In an in
terview with the correspondent had
with Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader,
he refused to discuss whether the men
taken on the Competitor were simply
smugglers or filibusters; but. he said
it was evident that Ne pardon were
granted to the British prisoner it can
not be withheld from the Americans.
The Chronicle says in an editorial:
"Mr. Olney is an exceedingly deter
mined man and it is therefore quite GER
tain that the filibusters will not be
shot There is only one course of &C
tfon that can save Cuba to Spain and
that is to make terms with the insur
gents and to grant reasonable auton
omv''
The Graphic, commenting upon the
question at issue between the United
States and Spain over the men SEN
fenced to death ait Havana, compares
the Competitor cases to the Jameson
raid, and says: "Englishmen can SYM
pathize with the United States look
ing at the scandalous misgovernment
in Cuba. But the analogy collapses
when the attitude of the United States
in its raiders is compared with England
to hers. What would Europe have said
if Mr.. Chamberlain had talked to
President Kruger as Mr.. Olney talks
to Spain. We trust, however, that
Spain will show clemency to the fill
busterers, for the knowledge that she
will not do so twice may help to put
Mr.. Olney on his guard and to moder-

WE'LL ADVISED.

The Times says: Spain is we'll ad-
vised in yielding to Mr.. Olney's demand
for delay. She has thus averted an ex-
plosion of popular Indignation in the
United States which no administration
could have resisted 1t is extremely
fortunate that the sentences have not
been summarily executed, so that Spain
is able to avert unappeasable quarrel.
A friendly discussion of the points at
issue will give time for angry passions
on both sides to cool. 1t will not be
denied that Spain has the right on her
side, but to insist upon the letter of
her rights would be in the highest de-
gree impolitic. The United States can
make a strong case ON merely technical
grounds. Spain can hardly seriously
advance the bubble that the privilege
of a civil trial Ito American citizens
under the treaty. only belongs 10 resi-
dents in Cuba, while, in face of the
death sentence, it could net Ie hoped
that irregularities in the trial
would be overlooked. If President
Cleveland had yielded to the pressure
to acknowledge the insurgents as bel
Hgerents, the Competitors captives
would have been entitled to the privi-
leges of prisoners of war. Therefore,
it would be singularly bad policy to
give the United States an irresistible
reason for comforting upon the insur-
gents an advantage hitherto withheld.
Both the Spanish government and press
ought scruputously avoid anything
tending to make the continued neutral
ity of the United States impossible.
Captain General Weyler's attitude
could be better understood if he had
any success in dealing with the insuI-
gents. Whatever the explanation may
be. circumstances seem to be rapidly
settling the Cuban question and very
unfavorably for Spain"
