The prize essay contest and lecture
OF Prof. E. H. Cooper, on the Cliff
Dwellers of North America at the
opera house last night was well atten-
ded and listened to with remarkable
attention. The essays were all meri-
torious and showed that the pupils in
our city schools knew something of Col
orado, also how to tell about it, on paper
in a manner to be interesting and in
structive. Prof, Cooper's explanation
of the ruins were also interesting, the
more so from the fact that he had
personal knowledge of many of the
places described. There were five con-
testants in the essay contest, awarded
as follows: First, Bruce Williams;
second, Numa Cone; third, Bessie
Hodges; fourth, Florence Reeves; fifth,
George Ernheart. The judges in the
essay contest were d. M. Kennedy,
Virgil Wilson and G. S. Nation.

circumstances a DRAW.

Buffalo, Jan. 1S.-The 200 or more
sports who journeyed from Rochester
to see Tommy Dixon of that city pick
up some easy money" by vanquishing
Joe Youngs of Buffalo, were treated
to a surprise, as the best the Rochester
boy could do was draw. Considerable
money was up on the fight. The men
were scheduled to go" 20 rounds.
Dixon kept leading Joe to rush mat
tiers, when he would cross with good
rights on the head. The boys gave a
ors even up to the 18th round, when
Dixon mixed it up in great shape,
smashing right and left -on the face
and head and having Joe guessing@~at
the end of the round. In the 18th round
YOungs eVened I'D matters with a
couple of hard lefts on the face. The
boys came up for the 18th round with
out mark and as aggressive as when
they entered the ring. This round was
a fierce one and the audience applauded
the fast work enthusiastically 'Youngs
put up a light left on the face and
Tommy came back with corking right
on the jaw. They mixed it up, fight
ing like tigers. First Dixon staggered
Joe with a right on the jaw, and
Youngs was groggy, but pulled himself
together and put in two hard rights on
the head, which nearly put Dixon in
dream land. Tommy was very tired
at the close of the round.
The next six rounds were compare
lively tame. In the goth and final
round both were eager for a finish and
fought desperately. but neither could
land an effective blow, although Dixon
had shade the best of it, Referee
Herman Doescher declared the contest
a draw, and the decision met with gen
eral approval

New York. Jan. 1S-"The real cause

Cuba said well informed Cuban of
the junta yesterday.
The whole thing is a war trick of
the Spanish government TO make the
Cubans spend for bail to release the
prisoners the money which was to be
employed in buying arms and ammuni-
ton. As it is very difficult to find a real
estate owner in New York willing to give
bail for some one who is engaged in fill
clustering affairs and who might be
obliged by mis- duty to join the insurgent
army at any moment, the Junta is obliged
to offer cash for the release Of the Gu
bans In all cases until now, the amount
of money required has been $500. The
two arrests of General Roloff and the
arrest of Senior Trujillo have cost the
junta $500 within Il few days. and al
though the money is not lost, being only
deposit to answer for the appearance
of the prisoners. it is practically useless
at present for any war purposes. More
than $4,000 it is said, the junta has idle
in such a way. As. since the death of
Maceo, money has poured by hundreds
of thousands of dollars into the Cuban
treasury, the Spanish consul was more
active in making the junta deposit cash
bail"

Cincinnati, O.. Jan. 1S.-When the
First National Bank of Newport. KY.
did not open its doors this morning,
there was much excitement. A crowd
of excited depositors assembled in front
of the bank, clamoring for an eXpla-
nation. No one was allowed in the in
stitution. The officials sent out word
that the bank was solvent, but was
forced to close for lack of ready
money. The depositors, however, re-
fused to be satisfied. Ugly rumors
found expression The excitement grew
still greater when it became known
that Comptroller Eckels and the ma
tional bank examiner of Washington
were to be in Newport today. Their
trip was designed especially for the
purpose of examining into the bank
affairs. The capital stock is 100000.
John Trap is president.
Newport, KY, Jan. 1S.-A late and
rather startling development is that
Mr.. John Trap, eX-sheriff of the
county, who was elected president of
the bank a week ago TO succeed Dr.
Gunkel, who percipitatedly resigned,
had refused to accept the office
unless the banks affairs were
thoroughly investigated. 1t seems
that c.. w. Maggie, who was
eieCleu 10 SuCceeu 1OuHlzey dS
cashier, had made sufficient investiga-
ton TO himself to warrant him in
warning Trap that all was not as it
should be. Therefore the bank had
been without a president for nearly a
week
Every bank in Covington, which adj
joins Newport had a run today Citi-
zens rushed to their places of deposit
by the hundreds as soon as they heard
the news that the First National had
not opened its doors in the morning
and drew out their savings. Many
heavy depOsitOrs were among these.

Will Send Corn to India

Chicago. Jan. 1S.-At meeting today
Of the Methodist ministers of Chicago
it was decided to cooperate in a plan
originated by Rev r. G.. Hobbs, sec
rotary of the Illinois conference and
pastor of the Centenary church at
Jacksonville, to send corn to the starry
ing people of India Mr.. Hobbs has
asked the farmers in the vicinity of
Jacksonville to make contributions of
corn for relief of the famine sufferers
and met with ready response, the farm
ers even loading corn on the cars. The
plan was submitted to Dr. W. 3. Leon
ard of New York, secretary of the
Methodist foreign missionary society.
who suggested that the Illinois corn
should be shipped to Chicago and sold
and the proceeds used to buy old corn
in New York for shipment to India.
Mr.. Hobbs adopted the change sug-
gested and asked the minister's as
sistance TO handle the corn when it
arrived here. A committee was ap-
pointed for that purpose.

REoRGANIzED SHORT LINE.
Business Pleased at the Prompt Leg
iSlative Action

In railway circles yesterday interest
centered in the bills pending in the
house and senate, making it possible
for the reOrganized Short Line to in
corporate under the laws of Utah. The
sentiment in favor of the passage OF
the measure was apparently unanim-
Gus, and there was no doubt as to the
action being favorable. the only fear
being that it might be delayed I'M
necessarily and thus defeat the pur-
pose sought to be obtained. Hence,
when it became known late in the
afternoon that both branches of the
legislature had passed the bill, there
was general rejoicing, especially among
business men.
The capital stock of the company
will be placed at $6O.OOO.O0O. which
under the existing rate, would cost
$4,000 for the filing of incorporation
papers. A bill is pending to reduce the
amount to $500 which will doubtless
be passed.
Everything seems favorable now for
the speedy Incorporation of the new
company under the laws of this state.
which will result in Salt Lake being
the headquarters of a great company,
with a mileage of over 400 miles and
operating in five states.

DoTsoN's POSITION.
Has Not Agreed to Support any of
the Candidates.


Representative Dotson yesterday in
formed The Herald that he had some
what changed his position concerning
the senatorship and that he had
authorized Mr.. Dunbar to make a
statement concerning his present atti-
tude Mr.. Dunbars statement was as
follows:
Representative Dotson, in the pres
ence of Fred Kiesel of ogden. Joseph
Monson, C. Fred Turner of Cache,
George A Snow of Salt Lake and
Representative Pierce of Cache and
myself denied the published statement
that he had consented to vote for
Rawlins or had agreed to leave
Thatcher, and he went further in say
ing that there was absolutely nothing
true in the statement, so far as he was
concerned in any agreement 10 support
either candidate.
Referring to the statement that he
had a meeting with some of the church
authorities he denied that he ever met
John Henry or Joseph F. Smith, but
had in this connection simply repeated
a statement coming to him through a
third party. He did admit, however,
having a talk with Heber ]. Grant"
Mr. Dunbar added his opinions,
which were to the effect that while he
did believe Mr.. Dotson was less ardent
in his support of Thatcher than upon
his arrival he felt reasonably satisfied
that whatever influences had been
brought to bear upon him as against
Thatcher had been more than over
come by the emphatic expressions of
his constituents and especially by
what the representative had received
during that day.

New York, Jan. 1S.-A phase in what
has come to be known as the Sugar
Coffee war" which was started by Ar
buckle Bros. planning to refine sugar
to sell with their Ariosa brand of
coffee is in evidence. The American
Sugar Refining company proposes to
roast coffee in the east. 1t has already
taken up the gauntlet thrown down by
the Arbuckles in Toledo. o.. where they
control the Woolson coffee roasting
plant. and today work began by demol-
ishing the old sugar house at Williams

roasting establishment, with every
modern Improvement is to be built.
This can be fit for operating in April.

NO COMPROMISE.
MURAT HALSTEAD ON TIE
CUBAN SITUATION.
The Fight, He Believes, Must Be
Fought to Finish-Sherman Is
Not Well Liked in Spain.

Cleveland, O.. Jan. 1S.-Murat Hal
stead, who was in Cleveland today
called upon Mark Hanna. Mr.. Hal
stead attended the dinner of the Ohio
society in New York on Saturday
night, and said Governor Bushnell
charged him with a message to Mr..
Hanna.
Governor Bushnell asked me to tell
Mr.. Hanna" said Mr.. Halstead that
he had not declared war on him and
that he had not done anything re-
garding the Ohio senatOrship. He does
not expect to make the appointment
from New York"
Speaking for himself, Mr.. Halstead
said:
L think Governor Bushnell will ap-
point Mr. Hanna to the place, and it
is my belief that that is the advice he
will get from Senator-elect Foraker.
It certainly would not conduce to har-
mony to call a special session to elect
Senator Sherman's successor and it is
the height of political folly TO talk
such a thine"
Regarding the Cuban question Mr..
Halstead said: Spain has lost Cuba.
There is no doubt about that. Those
alleged Spanish reforms, Of which so
much has been said, are delusions. IT
is impossible for Spain to reform her
colonial policy. The fight has got to
be fought out. The government of
Cuba is a government under martial
law, entirely in the interest of Spain.
[ do not believe in being hasty so far
as the United States government is
concerned. The appointment of Sen
ator Sherman to the secretaryShip of
state is very satisfactory. He is the
best known man in public life in
America today and has accomplished
more than any body else. When l was
in Havana, the Spaniards indicated an
of his work on the COM
mittee of foreign relations and he was
continually caricatured and assaulted
in most brutal manner by the Span
ish satirical organ as Don QuiXote."
