Washington. July 2.-It can be
safely stated now that President Nc
Kinley and his cabinet win not visit

bilee. During the past week the presi-
dent has confdentially expressed the
opinion to several western members of
congress. who were interested in the
prospective trip. and who sought to
learn his intention regarding it. that
he does not believe that he will see his
way clear TO go as far west as Utah
until probably the latter part of Au-
gust, when he hopes to go 10 the Pacific
coast.

Allison Endeavors to Fix a Time for
a Final Vote, But Teller Would
Not Give His Consent and the
Time for the Final Vote Was,
Therefore, Left Open-Wellington
on Senatorial Prerogatives.

Washington, July 2.-Reciprocity and
retaliation were the two phases of the
tariff bill to occupy the attentto1 OF
the senate today to the exclusion of all
other subjects.
Both provisions were agreed to, al
though the debate on the reciprocity
clause was protracted to p. m.
Shortly before adjournment Mr. AL
lison endeavored to secure an agree
ment on the time of a final vote, but
Mr.. Teller would not consent to fixing
the time until all proposed amendments
had been submitted to the senate.
AS Mr. Allison was not prepared to
submit these amendments he withdrew
his request, and the time for the final
vote was left open, although there is
still hope that it will be reached to-
morrow.
The retaliatory clause provides that
whenever any country bestows an ex-
port bounty on any article there shall
be levied, in addition to the duties pro-
vided by the act, an additional duty
equal to the amount of the bounty. The
clause was agreed to-33 to 19-the two
Democratic senators from Louisiana
Caffery and McEnery-voting with the
Republicans in the affirmative.
The reciprocity clause of the bill en-
powers the president with the advice
and consent of the senate, to make
reciprocity treaties, giving 20 per cent
reduction in duties on designated ar
ticles, or placing articles on the free
lis.
The amendment brought out much
opposition. Senators Mills, Vest, Pet
tus, Teller and White saying that 1t

Washington, d. c., July 2.-This
mornings Post contained a lengthy
and interesting editorial under head of
Utah Semi Centennial" 1t says:
Mormon abandonment of Mormon
ism" is the misleading headline under
which the Lewiston Journal discusses
the proposed semi-centennial celebra
ton of the settlement of Utah, which
is to occur at Salt Lake on the oath
! instant"
The article then goes on to say that
the Mormons have not abandoned any
of the general tenets of their faith;
that polygamy was not an item OF
their original creed; that the church
has been taken cut of politics and now
lives and fourishes. 1t says further;
"Gentiles and Mormons, in hearty CO.
operation as legal citizens. have ar
ranged for a grand celebration of the
50th anniversary of the arrival OF the
first Mormon train at Salt Lake, OF the
200 who came in 1S47 about 500 are still
living. The first day of the festivities
will belong TO the pioneers. A bronze
statue of Brigham Young. leader of
the pioneers, Will be unveiled; the liv-
ing pioneers will hold a reception in
the tabernacle at Salt Lake City and
the day will close with a musical en-
tertainment. Then there will be a
parade of progress, showing the
development of Utah. Next will come
a parade of 10000 children showing
'Utah's best crop Then an Illuminated
parade of floats. the various parts Of
which will have been immersed in
Salt lake and covered with saline
crystallizations. After that the q
counties will parade, and many floats
will show what the counties are doing.
In the afternoon of that day every
body will go TO a bathing resort at the
lake and wash N the brine. Last and
greatest will be pioneer day-a great
parade. including all that has been
seen before, with state militia and
government troops from Fort Douglas.
and many unique features added. The
evening will be given TO fireworks. No
other of the far western states with
the possible exception OF California,
has a history so full of stirring Incl
dents as that of Utah. She came into
the Union late but strong-strong in
all the elements of prosperity and
progress. There is no more strife be-
tween the Gentiles and the Saints, but
sincere cooperation, in the develop
ment of the states resources and in
pushing her onward in the march of |
progress"

CONFESSED HIS GUILT.
Lemuel W. Nelson Hanged at Grants
Pass, Oregon.

Grants Pass, Or, July 2-Lemuel w.
Wilson was hanged here at 10 O'Clock
today for the murder of Charles Perry.
his friend. in the southwestern part Of
Josephine county in March. 1896. Yes
terday he was taken into the Episcopal
church and baptized by Rev. Isaac
Dawson. He slept we'll last night and
ate hearty breakfast this morning.
When asked if he had anything to
say. Nelson said:
Il am guilty of killing Perry. and am
sorry for it. May God have mercy on
my guilty SOUL
Nelson was perfectly composed and
calm He bid the sheriff goodbye and
at 1913 the drop was sprung. Nell
sons neck was broken and death was
instantaneous. At 1922 he was pro-
nounced dead by physicians and cut
down.
The crime for which Nelson paid the
death penalty was the murder of
Charles Perry in March, 1896. The lat
ter disappeared from the Waldo cop
per mine, where he was employed, and
as he was known to have cOnsidera Bile
money with him, an investigation was
made with the result that his body
was found in an old well near de-
serted mining claim in the Siskiyou
mountains in August. with a bullet
wound in the right side. 1t being as
certained that Nelson had induced
Perry to visit the mine about the time
of his disappearance and had subse-
quently spent money freely at Ores
cent City the crime was later on
traced to him, with the result that he
was convicted and sentenced to death.
Perry was 80 years old. and came
to this coast from Connecticut, where
his widow and five children now re-
side. Nelson was a KentuclSian and ~
years of age. He leaves a widow and
two children.

IN GREAT CONFUSION.
Everyone Connected With the Dur.
rant Case in a Quandarv.

San Francisco. July 1.-The Durrant
murder case has resolved itself into
a state of such confusion that it will
require the combined efforts of the
state and the United States supreme
courts to restore it to its proper legal
condition.
1t is rumored that Governor Budd
contemplates asking the state supreme
court for writ of mandate to compel
the warden of San Quentin prison to
execute the sentence imposed upon
Theodore Durrant on July 9, the date
under which the murderer was re-
prieved. This is out of the question,
however, as the supreme court does
not meet again until the second week
in July. While the state officials APP
pear to be in a quandary, Durrant's
attorneys insist that the appeal 10 the
United States supreme court acts as a
bar to any and all proceedings in the
state courts pending the decision of
the higher tribunal.

SOME NARROW ESCAPES.
Very Serious Accident on the Mon
itor Puritan.

New York, July 2.-Thirty men mar
rowly escaped death in the boiler room
of the monitor Puritan. That they
were not scalded to death is due to the
presence of mind of one of the crew.
The engineers were in the engine
room giving instructions TO several of
the crew who were stationed there.
Suddenly there was a slight kissing
sound of escaping steam in the room.
but the men continued TO work. Then
a sharp report and a flood of hot water
and steam from one of the boilers
started them TO their feet. In an in
slant, the room was filed with steam
that was so dense the men could
scarcely see.
When the first burst of steam came
from the boiler August Wilson the
boiler-maker in charge. ordered the
men to get out of the room. Thew
CROPPED through the vapOr and as they
entered the companion way helped each
other to reach the ladders leading 10
the upper deck.
Wilson was the last one to go out
of the room and while he was irving
TO find the entrance to the engine
rooms Chief Engineer Cowie of the
Puritan who heard the report OF the
explosion rushed into the room. Will
son who was slightly burned by the
escaping steam seeing the danger mat
Cowie would encounter. refused TO get
out of the doorway leading to the fire
room from the engine commandment
and would not allow any of the
engineers to pass. Engineer Cowie
made several attempts to get at the
valves but was held back by Wilson.
When the steam had nearly exhausted
itself the valves were closed, but not
until Engineer Cowie had been slightly
burned about the hands and neck. The
injured men were attended to by the
ships surgeon.
1t is a miracle, the Puritan's officers
say, that none of the men were killed
or greater damage done to the vessel.
