The Utah Pioneer commission held
another meeting at Chairman Spencer
Clawson's residence last night and dis
cussed plans for the coming celebra-
ton. The meeting was rather of an
informal nature, being attended only
by Clawson. Rognon, Colborn, Savage
and Whitney, one member short of a
quorum \ full attendance is expected
next Wednesday night when import
ant matters relating to the employ
ment of some man who for the pres
ent at least will fill the office of di
rector general. The work has also
reached the point where someone will
have to be engaged to look after the
financial end of the enterprise and this
is by no means OF small Importance.
It takes money to astound the world
and that $4,000 purse is yet in its
infancy
Considerable speculation mas been in
dulged in as TO who Will be the di
rector general. The commission, it is
safe to say, has not decided upon any
one yet 1t is very probable that Mr..
McGarvie, the director-general of last
summers carnival, viii be employed
within the next few days to develop
plans and act for a period at least.
J. Wash Young, it is said, will be
the commissions authorized agent to
go out and stir up enthusiasm and
make people open their purses This
ought not to be d difficult job. Every
man. woman and child in the state
is realizing what the celebration Will
mean TO Utah and according to the
letters that have come in the wealthy
men viii pour in their shekels by the
thousands, and this not for patriotic
reasons alone, but because the same
amount of money can not be invested
in advertising in any other way with
better returns.
one of the novel features of the cele-
bration will be a wedding Of the waters
Of the river Jordan in Old Palestine
to the waters of our own river Jordan
in the New Palestine. A gentleman
who is now visiting Palestine will bring
with him a vessel of water from the
river of Biblical fame. 1t will be the
genuine article-no humbug-and the
ceremony of mingling the two fluids
ought indeed to make a novel attrac
ton.
The commission is getting down to
hard work. It is no easy task they
nave undertaken and few of the gen
sral public have any conception of the
irduous duties necessarily incumbent
lpOn every member thereof. Let every
)ne interested in Utahs future great
hess act accordingly.

Hardly Possible That the Recent
Troubles VIII Prove Serious.

Hardly Possible That the Recent
Troubles VIII Prove Serious.
New York, Jan. pa Herald special
from Washington SAYS:
The report of complaints on the part
of the members of the Russian ortho-
dCx church in Alaska on account Of
the alleged Outrages by agents OF the
commercial company, viii not likely
lead to any diplomatic negotiations
between the United States and Russia
Mr.. Koetzby, the Russian minister.
said yesterday that as he understood
the matter the persons alleged to have
been maltreated are not Russian citi-
zens. but citizens of the United States,
though members of the Russian
church.
Naval officers who returned several
months ago from Alaskan waters and
who are now in this city, say that it
is possible that some of the squaw-men
in Alaska were responsible for the dis
turbance, but they were inclined to
doubt that the agents of the CONNER
cial company had attacked persons of
Russian birth
1t is said that many employees of
the company were Russians who had
taken out naturalization papers, and
have become United States citizens
of this government as any citizen re-
siding in the Is original states. They
suggested that it would be very
strange that any of the company's
agents should attack men with whom
they were constantly associated, and
the only theory they could evolve was
that the trouble was due to the act
of squaw-men. If the disturbance oc-
CURED on Commander islands. the
United States would be in no wise con-
cerned, as those islands belong to the
cars jurisdiction.
The state and treasury departments
are still without information in regard
to the reported trouble, and it is doubt
full if the former department will hear
anything about the matter in view of
NJ. KoetZby's statement. 1t is possible
that one of the agents of the treasury
department or interior department may
report the facts. and with these at
hand the authorities viii know what
measures to take to prevent a repeti-
ton of the difficulty.

Mexico Indian Troubles.

Chicago, Jan. PA special to a
morning paper from Chihuahua, Mex
leo, says: At Rosales. west of here in
the heart of the Sierra Madre range, a
large force OF rural Yaqui Indians
had started out on their winter raids
of pillage and murder against the
farmers and miners of that section.
The Indians had already murdered all
the members of two families and were
about to attempt to sack the village
of Rosales when the force of rural
guards or state troops arrived at the
place in response to a message, and
made an attack on the Indians. The
fight was a desperate one. and resulted
in u Indians and five soldiers being
killed.

1t is quite safe to say with the Spec
