ILLEGAL FISHING.
STREAMS DEPLETED OF TROUT
EXPLOSIVES USED.
In Strawberry Valley the Destruction
Seems to Have Reached An AL
arming State-Provo River Does
Not Escape.

! The wholesale slaughter of mountain
trout for use in the markets of the
state is becoming of frequent occur
renee. The law forbi-zv the capture of
trout by any means other than the
hook and line. Yet there are but few
trout that reach the Salt Lake markets
that have hook mark upon them.
y great many of the trout come from
Strawberry valley and the Provo river.
These fish are not taken by anglers,
but by regular market fishers. A short
time ago party of Salt Lake anglers
went to the valley, and for the first
two days they found the fishing ex-
cellent.
Then a strange man arrived in the
valley and the next day hardly a fish
could be caught and only small ones
were taken at all. An examination of
the stream showed the marks of a
seine on the banks where it had been
dragged out of the water.
The fishing grew worse, but the
stranger always had plenty, and yet
he was never seen fishing. Cowboys in
the valley said that he was seen ship
ping trout by the wagon load out of
the valley. The evidence against him
was only in his possession of the fish
and the seine marks on the banks, and
though the stream was watched by
day he was never caught in the act
But every morning there were fresh
marks of the seine on the banks and
the stranger was the only party with
in miles of the place.
In places the stream had been fixed
so that it could be diverted from one
channel into another, and piles of quick
lime with empty pop bottles lying near
were discovered at places along the
stream The lime and pop battles are
as deadly to fish as dynamite. Hun
dreds of dead fish were to be seen along
the bottom of the stream, which, upon |
examination. showed they had been |
killed by a blast.
The Provo river is another stream |
that yields up vast quantities of trout, |
most of which are blasted. All over the !
country this state of affairs exists, |
and there is very little attempt made
by the lawbreakers to conceal their
acts.

ON THE VERGE OF WAR,
How Near France Came to Being
Thoroughly Whipped

Paris Letter to New York Sun: A
hitherto unpublished incident of recent
international history has been given to
the light, as a kind Of sequence to a con-
versation with the Emperor William
lately published IN the London Times. In
the beginning of the year 1893 the English
government, over which Lord Rosebery
presided, alarmed at the spirit of hostil-
ity to the persistent policy of expansion
followed by England in the far east and
Africa generally displayed by the Euro
pean governments, except that of Italy,
is said to have determined on boldly de-
claring war against France and crushing
her scattered SquadronS and her home
fleet before assistance could come from
any quarter. The French action in Siam,
when the French ships of war bombarded
the Si2meSe batteries of Paknam, at the
mouth of the Menam river, on which
Bangkok, the capital, is situated, is cited
as the opportunity Lord Rosebery wished
for.
On the 18th of July. 1893. he sent for NJ
d. EStournelleS, the French charge daft
flares in London in the absence of the

invited Count Tornielli, the Ital-
ian ambassador. to the foreign office, and
asked him if his government was ready

ter 10 his government. which Immediate
ly laid the matter before the German gov
in conformity with its oOliga-
tons as a member of the triple alliance,
and Emperor William without heSita-
ton advised the Italian government to
refrain. The publication of this incident
has created considerable sensation in the
political world, and has given rise to all
manner of speculation as to the object

1t seems from statements made to
reporter for this paper, that charges
are ABOUT to be preferred against the
warden for violating the rule which
provides that either he or his deputy
shall be on duty at the state prison all
the time. 1t is asserted that he will be
charged with frolicking down in the

lee, knowing the institution was in the
hands of a subordinate.
This is not Sill. 1t is asserted that a
system of espionage is employed al the

with dignity at all. That TRUSTEES are
engaged in spying upon the guards, re-
porting their conversations and the
like to the warden and his deputy, all

1t will be shown that the escape of
Hamilton, the convict who got away
some three or four weeks ago, was not
due TO the relaxation of vigilance of
Henry Shurtlif. who was suspended
for a month for the offense, but was
due TO the changing of rule by the
warden. 1t is stated that some time
before the escape of Hamilton it was
the duty of two of the inside bulls I
TO carry the ash can to the gate, where
1t was taken by two TRUSTEES, an iron
bar damned down into the contents
for the purpose of seeing if anyone was
inside, and then by them taken to the
dump. This rule was altered so the /
two cons on the inside took the can
to the gate and through the gate and /
then to the dump, where Mr.. Hamilton, !
the gay and festive, thanked his res
cuers and ambled away.
The bar was damned into the mess
as usual, but the convicts knew where
TO jam without hurting their partner,
and they damned accordingly. Then
they threw Hamilton over the bank.
Shurtliff was inside when the can
was carried out, but it was not his
duty to go outside and watch who
crawled out of the garbage, but he was
suspended just the same, and when this
matter comes up he will have chance
to tell his story.
This rule has been modified since to
the effect that the warden selects the
men who carry the can, and the worst
element is blocked out.
One of the guards threw up his job
on Friday. 1t was c. J. o. Irwin, who
has been working there for some time.
1t is said that others are likely to fol-
low.

SENATOR HANNA.
What He Stands for in American Pol
iticS.

/ New York Journal: Mr.. Hanna, it
/ is now clear, will succeed himself in
the senate should his party elect the
Ohio legislature. The issue presented
to the people of a great state by his.
candidacy is clear-so very clear that
only fools can be deceived as TO what
it really is. Mr.. Hanna, himself mill
lionaire of the new kind, stands for
property When Mr.. Carnegie, or Mr..
Huntington, or Mr.. Pullman, or Rookie
Teller, or Mr.. Havemeyer desires 90 be-
come politically ambitious and put
himself forward for the senate he
could not more emphatically than Mr..
Hanna typify the cause of which the
Ohioan is the champion. He needs no
written platform, being himself the
most eloquent declaration of principles
and policies that can be devised. With
his party in state and nation, he en-
bodies the doctrine that property is
entitled 10 rule the republic, by fair
means if convenient, but by any means
that may be necessary. To procure
presidential and other nominations by
purchase; to procure presidential and
other elections by systematic bribery
and coercion; to procure and prevent
legislation by corruption in the inter-
est of property; to control courts by
the power of the purse; by the use of
money TO secure trusts in their rob-
bers' privilege of taxing the people for
private profit; to advance steadily The
movement for Transforming the gov
eminent into mere agency for the
pecuniary benefit of the predatory rich
that is Hannaism, that is Mckinley
ism, that is Republicanism.
The more rich man deserves to be
in Jail the more confidently can ne now
count upon the sympathy and support
of the party of which Lincoln was once
the head and of which Hanna has be-
come the truest representative. His
ultimate consequence of the triumph
achieved by property in the election of
Mckinley and the touching proofs of
his party's trust and affection that he
is receiving in loyal Ohio, coming con-
with the Republican
senate's obedience to the orders Of the
Sugar trust, give evidence that the J
same love for the national honor which (
swept over large part of the country I

ished ardor in spots
If il shall happen that the people of |
Ohio voting a. free citizens, choose Mr.. !
Mark Hanna to speak for their intelli- |
gence, morality, patriotism and ma
terial interests in the United States
senate, it will not be unbecoming if on |
the night of the day of his election
the office of every trust in the Union
be Illuminated. And it would show a
geld want of sympathy were the
barred windows of the penitentiaries
of the land to remain dark on so aus
picious an occasion.

THREE DIVORCES GRANTED.
In All the Cases the Wives Were the
PLAINTIFFS.
Three divorces were yesterc

Three divorces were yesterday
granted by Judge Cherry.
In the case OF Annie z. Altree VS..
Arthur H. D. Altree, the plaintiff al
legged desertion and cruelty. She stated
that her husband refused TO live in
Utah, preferring London. and that the
climate of that City was such that the
plaintiff could not live there without
great danger TO her health and life.
Attorney W. r. Hutchinson represented
Mr. Altree, who at the present time is
in the British capital. He admitted
the allegations of the complaint and
consented to the decree on the condi-
ton that Mrs. Altree have the custody
of the child until it is 10 years of age
and that then he should have the boy
for the next five years. He wanted the
child sent to school and agreed to pay
S25 a month for its maintenance.
Judge Cherry said he would grant
the decree and award the custody of
the child TO Mrs. Altree until il shall
have attained the age of 10 and at
that period the little one viii be al
lowed to make its own choice as to
whether it viii live with its father or
mother and in the meantime the father
viii pay go a month for its support.

torney for Mrs. Altree.

Mining Recorder Monk of Big Cot
tonwood failed TO comply with the or
der issued from Judge Cherry's court
to turn over the records of his Office
to County Recorder Jensen by 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Assistant County
Attorney Putnam thereupon moved the
court that a fine be imposed upon the
defendant as a punishment for his con-
tempt in failing to obey the writ Of
mandate. Judge Cherry imposed a
fine of 500 and ordered that the de-
PENDANT turn over the records by 10
a. m. on Monday, falling which he will
probably be committed.
1t is understood that Monk will again
disobey the court, and when he is
placed under arrest Messrs. Williams
and Rhodes, his attorneys, will apply
for a writ Of habeas corpus, alleging
that the law requiring mining recorders
to turn over their records to the county
recorders is unconstitutional, and by
means of the habeas corpus proceed

ATTORNEY TAYLOR ANGRY.
Goes After the County Attorney and
Justice McMaster.

Attorney E. W. Taylor was quite an
angry man yesterday, the objects of his
ire being Assistant County Attorney
Putnam and Justice McA1aster. 1t all
came about in this wise: In the early
part of last week Mrs. Julia Seiden-
stricken caused the arrest of NJ D.
Cook on a charge of eTnbezzlement, al
leging that Cook had taken and sold so
tons of hay belonging 10 the plaintiff
and failed TO turn over the proceeds. A
hearing before Justice Stewart showed
that Cook rented a farm from the Sci
denstTickerS and a question arose as TO
whether the latter had a lien on the
hay for rent. 1t further appeared that
Mrs. Seidenstricl1er neither owned the
farm nor the hay. both belonging TO her
brother and consequently the action
against Cook was dismissed.
Then Cook consulted Attorney Taylor
and stated a case 10 him to the effect
that Mrs. SeidenStTicker had since the
termination of the action before JUS
tice Stewart, entered upon the farm
which he rented and had reaped and
taken away a quantity of grain belong
ing to MIN and he wanted Mrs Seiden-
stricken arrested for grand larceny. At
torney Taylor applied 20 Justice Me
Master for q warrant of arrest and the
justice, according to the rule, referred
the parties to the county attorney. Mr..
Putnam made an examination and de-
cided that the dispute was matter
for the civil courts TO pass upon and
refused TO give mis- Sanction 70 the is
suance of a warrant of arrest and JUS
tice AIcMaster would not issue it with
out the approval of the county attor-
ney's office. THIS caused Attorney Tay-
Tor to be very angry and he went be
fore Judge Cherry in che district court
and asked that his honor appoint spec
ial counsel TO prosecute the case, the
county attorney having refused to DO
so. Judge Cherry refused TO interfere
and then Mr.. Taylor threatened to ap-
ply for a writ of mandamus against
the county attorney and Justice Nc
Master TO compel the latter TO issue the
warrant of arrest and the former to
prosecute the case.
One section of the statute gives JUS |
tees of the peace power to issue war /
rants of arrest, using their own dis (
erection and another section provides I
that justices who issue such warrants /
without the approval of the county al
torney, shall not be allowed any fees
for the same.
