UTAH'S sEMI-CENTENNIAL.
Monument to Brigham Young Un-
veiled-ErYan Cots an Ovation

Salt Lake. Utah. July 21.-Today marks
the half century since the pioneers under
the leadership of the Mormon apostles
first entered the Salt Lake valley and
founded this commonwealth.
The day has been celebrated in a man.
ner which leaves no doubt of the rever-
ence in which those pioneers are held by
the people of the state.
The phalanx of veterans that marched
from Pioneer square to East Temple
street and later to the tabernacle there to
receive their gold badges was an impress
sive sight. The men redeemed the desert
and founded a state and they were the
cipents of every honor that could be be-
slowed upon them
At o'clock in the morning the veterans
began to gather on Pioneer square.
At 10 o'clock the veterans marched north
to the Pioneer monument, headed by
platoon of police. Next came the grand
marshal, Brigham Young, and the
Knights of Pythias band. They were fol-
lowed by the Twenty-fourth Infantry
band. Then came older pioneers in car
riages, followed by the Utah National
guard. At the moment the ranks were
broken and the pioneers took their places
a platform erected for their special
benefit. Conferred around the monument
for three blocks a surging mass of
humanity. On the platform half the first
presidency, members OIL the Twelve apOS-
ties, Governor Wells and other distin-
guished citizens. Before the assembly
was called to order, William j. Bryan
stepped upon the platform and as the
great silver champion shook hands with
President Woodruff prolonged cheers
broke forth from the multitude.
At II O'Clock Spencer Clawson called for
order and Bishop Whitney read President
Woodruffs prayer.
The ode to Brigham Young was next
rendered by the Tabernacle choir from
the portieo of the Hall of Recliss. James
Odell made the speech of presentation.
1t was then announced that President
Woodruff would unveil the monument.
President Woodruff said:
I'm the name of God, 1 now unveil this
monument and instantly the stars and
stripes fell away from the splendid gran
lite column, surmounted by the figure of
Brigham Young. A great cheer went up,
which was answered by salute by the
Nauvoo legion.
Governor Wells accepted it on behalf
of the people in a speech which ELECTED
frequent applause.

END OF TARIFF IN SIGHT.
It is Thought the Senate Will Reach
aVote This Week.

Washington, July 21.-The indications
when the senate adjourned yesterday
were that a vote would be reached up
on the conference report of the tariff
bill sometime during Thursday at the
latest before the close of the week.
The Republicans will vote solidly for
the report and they will be supported
by Messrs. Jones of Nevada. (Silver
Republican,, and McEnery of Louisi-
ana. pemocraD, and also probably
Messrs Mantle and Stewart, (Silver Re
publicans). They have also discovered
that Senator Kyle, Pop.), who is alb
sent has left strict instructions that
he should not be paired. With the
adoption of the report thus assured,
the Democrats probably will not at
tempt to prolong the debate beyond the
arrival of Mr.. Turley, the new senator
from Tennessee. They will continue to
ask for an explanation of changes
made by the conferences, but these will
not occupy a great deal of time.
The general opinion is that the quo
rum of the senate will disappear soon
after the passage of the tariff bill, but
the determination of the supporters of
the Harris Pacific railroad resolution
to secure a vote upon it before final ad-
journment may delay that consumma-
ton for some days.
