this the attendance is larger now than

It is quite definitely known in this
city that the arrest of James True, at
Nevada City, as one of the Uintah
train robbers, does not have any other
bearing on that case than that of ex-
torting knowledge as to the where
abouts of other persons already sus-
pected of the crime.
The arrest was made at the instance
of Postoffice Inspector Waterbury,
who wired to Nevada City while In
spector Nichols was en- route to Cal
ifornia, to satisfy himself of the guilt
of parties under suspicion in that state.
Inspector Nichols was not aware that
the arrest was to be made. Inspector
Waterbury has been stationed at Og-
den since the departure of Inspector
Nichols, and the formers sudden de-
termination was brought about by
some information obtained by him in
Ogden after Nichols left for the coast.
Recently, Inspectors Waterbury and
Nichols returned from a trip to Port
land, Ore, which was in connection
with the same case. Their journey was
not altogether profitable, which
brought about the California jaunt.
Before making the Portland trip,
Inspectors Nichols, Waterbury and
Fitzgerald and Superintendent Daniels
of the Pacific Express company
worked in ogden for several days, hop
ing to uncover something that might
fasten the robbery on four men who
were suspected of implica ton. Results
of these operations satisfied them that
True was not directly interested in
the robbery, but they think he was
cognizant that it was to be perpetrated
and shared in the spoils for valuable
assistance rendered by him to the
gang. Besides the four men already
spotted, there are two women who
have been closely watched by the in
spectors. One of these females has
been displaying good deal of new
currency for several months. She has
been traced to her residence in the
eastern portion of Utah. and it is
thought that a man with whom she is
now living is one of the bandits.
Since the robbery, these persons have
scattered from Ogden, where they
formerly resided, all having been en-
ployees of either the Union Pacific or
Western roads. One of them is said
to be living in Nevada, another in
Butte, one in Laramie, Wyo., and the
last, as stated, in Utah.
Trues arrest has this significance: 1t
means that he will be expected to turn
states evidence. Any hope of his own
conviction is not anticipated by the
inSDectOrs

WORK OF THE sOLONS.
What it is Believed They Will Ac-
complish This Week.

cOmpllSn 4n1S w eek
Washington, April At is said that
Acting Chairman Davis. of the senate
foreign relations committee, does not in
tend to press the arbitration treaty for
consideration during the present week.
The debate on the treaty has been pro-
tracted. and now that the last amend
ment permissible has been offered, the
treaty, as a whole, is in the shape in
which il must be finally ratified, or re-
Jected, there appears to be disposition
TO halt for a short session.
Several reasons combine to make such
policy probable. No arrangement has
vet been made with respect to pairs on
the final vote, and as this is a matter
solely between individual senators, some
adjusted. arising out OF the fact that two
affirmative votes will be paired with one
negative vote, the action of the senate
being determined by nearly two-thirds
vote 1t is also understood that Chair
mar Davis desires to permit the state
department TO have a few days in which
to study the changes that have been
made in the treaty. Unless, therefore,
ject. Mr.. Davis will not move an execu-
tive session for the purpose of continuing
debate until several days have elapsed.
The chances of the ratification " the
treaty remains precarious
The senate appropriations committee
reported the agricultural bill early in the
session. and it may be called up at any
time. BY Tuesday, the landry civil and
the Indian bills will be ready. The latter
bill will. no doubt, lead to some discus-
sion, owing to one or two senate amend
ments that will open the door TO fhe
light that was made over this bill at the
last session.

of David Jenkins, the we'll known Dio-
neer of Weber county, and is at pres
ent living with him at the corner of
Twenty-seventh street and Washington
avenue. She stated yesterday to The
Herald that on the night of Oct. Is
her husband was at home: that he
will be able to prove it, not only by
her testimony, but by that of her
father, her son. Morris, and by that
of two neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wadman.
EVENING OF THE ROBBERY.
Mr. and Mrs. Wadman came in TO
spend the evening, and they all played
cards until a late hour. Mr.. and Mrs
Wadman have since removed to Butte
City, but Mrs. True is quite sure they
will be present if necessary.
TURNS over THE LETTER.
A few days ago, Mrs. True saws, In
spector Waterbury and some other
gentlemen, supposed to be Inspector
Nichols and Mr.. Daniels of the express
company. saw her, and Waterbury
asked that she turn over the letters she
had received from her husband, he
claiming to have the authority to de-
mand them. She was considerably
frightened and having nothing to con-
ceal, gave them to him. He has since
returned them all except one. She was
visited by these gentlemen afterwards.
and on the occasion of their last visit,
she somewhat lost her temper at what
she considered unreasonable demands.
and told them TO go ahead and prove
their case; that she would have nothing
more to do with them.
She appeared both amazed and angry
at the published reports, making her
husband figure as a great train robber
and the leader of a band of robbers.
She says the gentlemen once came to
her with a Mr.. Pierce, who seemed to
be in trouble, and it looked as though
he might have been accused by them
of the robbery. Mrs. True suspects that
they are arresting her husband expect
ing to get some information as to who
are the real robbers.
TRUES RECORD.
James True, the alleged train robber,
is we'll known in Ogden, having been
u. P. switchman in that city and
Salt Lake for number of years. He
lost employment at the time of the
strike. He is reported to be rather
quiet and orderly man. when sober,
bat when in liquor, which is not infre-
quent, is rather quarrelsome.
1t is known that the sheriff's office
has been interested in True's move
ments for several weeks, and it is
thought that they furnished consider
able information to the inspectors re-
garding him.

flames as they rushed upward burn
ing the timbers was something terrible
to the men who were imprisoned in the
burning mine. The signal rope was de-
stroyed, and just as they had
given themselves I'D for lost,
frightened by the roar of the
flames. started to run. The men
climbed on the bucket and were pulled
up through the fire at a rapid pace.
Fortunately the horse stopped where
they, shunterd and the men stepped
onto the ground, one of them pretty
badly singed, but the other, like the
the smell of fire. Efforts have been
made to smother out the fire, but it is
probable that but little of the timber
ing will escape destruction.
AT the Crown Point the incline has
reached a depth of IS feet and taken out
good assays. A few days ago the ore
held only a trace. Yesterday assays as
high as IS have been found. The vein
is about five feet wide.
Several attempts have been made to
commence work on the Great Eastern,
but the snow has been too deep. This
week the boys will try once more to
begin operations and it is believed
they will be successful.
The Northern Light made their trial
run TINS week, that is, they run ore
through the machinery to the teaching
watts, to test the machinery, and the
test was highly satisfactory. 1t was
the intention to commence permanent
work yesterday morning, but as many
of the hands have been imprisoned on
Lion hill for the past three months
they yearned for a view of Zion. Nearly
the whole force, headed by Superin-
tendent Hines, took a trip yesterday,
with the understanding that every man
would report for work on Wednesday
morning, when the mill will commence
its work. Nothing unusual transpiring
the mill will keep running and ship
ments of cyanides will be made regu-
larly

in ships not those of this country. This
speech has been prepared with great care
and treats of this subject exhaustively.
The purpose of the bill is endorsed by a
plank in the national Republican plat
form. and has been approved in the state
conventions of Is states. Mr.. Elkins in
believes that this congress will enact it
into law. While the subject has been
touched UPON in the discussion, it has
never been so fully and thoroughly
morrow.
The bankruptcy bill still remains the
unfinished business on the senate cal
endar.
Unless the senate shall have passed one
or more of the appropriation bills now on
it's calendar by Wednesday, when the
house of representatives next meets, an
other adjournment will be taken by that
body until Saturday.
The probabilities are strongly in favor
of a do-nothing week in the house.
