ing a good time, and as he had about
$500 in his clothes, saw no reason why
he should not have it. John started out
last evening looking for a person of the
opposite sex with which to spend some
OF his hard-earned wealth. He found
one in. the person of Susie Harris, a
colored courtesan who came here a
few days ago. The pair walked around
the city for time, went into a place
or two on Commercial street and had
a drink, and then wandered over to the
cathedral on Second East street, where
they sat down upon the steps and
chatted. From there they retired to
the rear and chatted some more.

rested. This was done, and she was
taken in custody by Raleigh and
Sheets. Searched at the station, she
did not have money enough to flag a
bread wagon with.
She was very abusive to the officers
and gave them plenty of talk, although
she affirmed she had not touched the
money.
Perrin was seen by the officers earlier
in the evening, and when noted was in
company, not only with the woman,
but with three or four men. all colored.
1t was an easy. task for her to slip the
wallet containing the cash to any one

Perrin declared he would search the

"LAPE" PENCE HERE
This Brilliant Colorado Orator
Arrived Last Night.
Is A YOUNG MAN BUT A Ma
TIONAL FIGURE.
Brother of Charles j. Pence, the Well
Known Salt Lake Attorney.

LATE Pence, the brilliant young
Colorado orator and debater whose
meteoric yet brief career in congress
made him national figure, arrived in
the city last evening accompanied by
Mrs. Pence, who was accounted one of
the most beautiful society leaders of
Washington.
Mr.. Pence has not come to Utah TO
awake its citizens upon living issues
or decadent Populism though an eff
fort may be made to induce him to
loosen that eloquent tongue before his
return. The object of Mr.. Pence's visit
if it may be said to possess definite
object, is to see his brother. Charles
j. Pence, the law partner of
ex-Congressman Allen, who served
Utah in the same house with
Lafe, who is now before the business
world in the capacity of a railroad vice
president, holding down that job at a
fat salary, for the Undertook railway
of New York. Although his interests
are now many miles from the spot
so ably represented by him, Mr.. Pence
has never fully been divorced from
Colorado politics. His disaffection from
the Democratic party in that state to
espouse the cause of Populism was the
signal for revolt along the lines OF
which LATE numbered many personal
admirers. That was during the famous
Waite administration. Pence was on
the wave that carried the state for
Weaver, Waite and woe, as some
of the opposing minority would have
il.
Pence went to congress, and one day
captured the house with his sarcasm,
wit and diction. Bynum of Indiana was
subjected to the most scathing ridicule
and has never been the same figure
in Indiana politics since he lowered
his flag to his former disciple. Con-
trary to many politicians who have
left the Populist ranks since it's de-
cline and fall in Colorado. Lafe Pence
has stood with it's doctrines until nov.
although by virtue of his pursuit, an
alien. he came to the front during the
recent city campaign in Denver as the
conqueror of Thomas NJ. Patterson,
high priest of Populism in the state,
and dictated the Populist nominees.
The rise of Mr. Pence from an OBJ
scure young lawyer with plenty of men,
tai acumen, through various degrees
Of success at the bar, to factor in
the turbulent politics of Colorado, has
been almost the evolution of one whose
ambition is gilded with destiny. He
was first brought sharply into public
notice by remarkable legal perception

mayor and for the prosecution in what
was the most romantic murder trial Of
the century, the trial of DR.. T. Thatcher

OUR IRON AND STEEL.
London Times Pays America a Very
Great Compliment.

London April IA column ar
ticle in the Times points to the
perils in prospect for the British
iron and steel industries. TIE ar
ticle, which is based on the Duke OF
Devonshire's addresses at the annual
meeting of steel company at Barrow
In-Furnesss. dilates on the fact that
for the first time in the history of the
iron trade Great Britain has felt a
scarcity of ores, and the demoralizing
effect of the imports of American pig
iron has increased. The British out
put of pig iron in 1896 was only OBJ
tanned by importing a million tons of
hematite ore from Spain and other
countries.
Such sources are precarious.' the
Times adds.
While however. it is probable that
no second Bilboa is available. it is be-
lieved Spain still has large undevel-
oped resources in ores, man yof which
have been acquired by British firms"
The Duke of Devonshire referred to
the astonishing cutting in prices by
American competition, and expressed
a hope that the Americans might be
satisfied to confine most of their
fighting to their own country. This
caused the Times to remark:
The American iron trade does not
show any such intention. On the con-
trary, they are planning greater riv-
airy all along the line.p
Continuing. the Times refers to the
gigantic scale of the. American iron
making plants now built and operated.
and instances the immense Carnegie
furnaces and the newest type of the
Garrett wire mill used in America, and
SAYS the work thus produced is almost
incredible, adding as a significant fea-
ture of the situation, the statement
that recent plants built in England
have adopted American methods.
while the Duke of Devonshire,' the
Times continues, practically admitted
American superiority. he did not mem
ton the wonderful things-the immense
distances the ores and finished prod
ucts have to be carried in America
English trade is still handicapped by
heavy railway freights."

At San Francisco.

San Francisco, April 17.-Three stakes
were run off at Oakland today-the
Candelaria handicap for 2-year-olds,
the Athenian club hurdle handicap and
the Palace hotel handicap.
The latter event was the feature of
the day, all the best handicap horses
facing the barrier. including Ruinart.
the winner of the Burns handicap. The
latter, with Marty Bergen up, easily
duplicated his performance of last Sat
urday, winning from Buckwa by an
open length. Ruinart was again an
outsider in the betting as the wise ones
maintained that his victory in the
Burns handicap was in the nature of a
f1uke. His performance today. how
ever, easily places him at the very top
notch as he was heavily penalized and
had against him field of horses su-
perior to that of a week ago.

Bet On the WRONG Horse.


San Francisco. April Thames Hun
ter, who has followed the turf for
many years. is supposed to have staked
his life on Gold Bug. his favorite racer
Gold Bug, who started in a race at the
Oakland track on Thursday. made a
gallant struggle. but there were faster
horses in the field.
The defeat meant much to Hunter.
who is now missing His friends are
firmly convinced that he has forfeited
his life because his horse lost the race
Hunter began his turf career at the
Keogh stock farm. in Idaho. where he
bought the colt Goldbug and trained
him for a racer. Hunter made the cir
cult in Montana and Idaho and went
as far east as Chicago. Two years ago
he came to the coast with Jacob Krause
and started Goldbug or this circuit.
For nearly eight years Goldbug made
a handsome living for these two men.
OF late, however, the horse has been
stale from overwora, and purses have
been few and far between. Hunter be-
came a heavy drinker and, owing to
lack of money, has been compelled to
seek shelter in the stable of his pet.
On Thursday last Henry Shields got
the mount on Goldbug. who was third
at the start. second at the quarter. sew
enth at half. sixth in the stretch and
fifth at the finish. James Hunter anxi-
ously watched the race, on which he
had staked everything. When the race
was over he pulled his hat over his
eyes and remarked to his friend. Philip
Siebenthaler:
Il staked my life on that race and
lost. A few drops will soon put an
end to the whole business"
Taking last look at Goldbug, as the
animal was being led to the stable,
Hunter turned away from the race
course and has not been seen since.

BLOODY BUTCHERY.
Spaniards Again Show Their Honor

New York, April ia Special to the
World from Havana by way Of Jack

been raided and more than 40 persons
slain.
The camp sheltered refugees from
San Cristobal and neighboring places,
driven from there by the impossibility
to get food. They had begun cultivat-
ing crops for their own use.
Colonel San Martin heard of ii from a
SPY and sent Captain Sarda to break
up the camp. The camp was surprised
at night. the men tied to trees, their
huts burned and their crops destroyed.
The men were kept tied up day with
out food and water while the guerillas
caroused and maltreated the women
captives. Then both men and women
were shot.
Five hundred Cubans ambushed
three battaiions of Spanish troops on
the Artemisa military road and killed
nearly 200. The Cuban loss was "a.

WHY SHE DIDN'T.
Secret of the Non-Appearance of the
Princess de Chimay in Vaudeville.

London, April IA dispatch to the
Times from Paris says that the secret
of the withdrawal of the Princess de
Chimay-Caraman. nee Ward of Detroit,
from the Folies Bergero. is found in the
fact that friends of the family had
resolved to place her children in the
front row of the theatre. A crowd of
the Belgian friends of Prince Chimay
had arranged to come from Charlerio-
They were to simultaneously raise the
cry of "to the madhouse." Some OF the
Belgian friends of the prince proposed
to provoke a duel with Rigo. This
challenge the companion OF Princess
Chimay need not, of course. have ac-
copied. Nevertheless. the tragic side
of her adventure, the correspondent of
the Times concludes. may have been
nearer than was generally supposed.
