THE TRACKS MUST GO.
Salt Lake and Fort Douglas Rails to
Be Torn Up.

The petition of City Attorney Mckay
ON behalf of Salt Lake City for an order
of the court permitting the tearing UP
from the streets of the track of the
Salt Lake and Fort Douglas railway,
came before Judge Hiles yesterday, and
his honor made an order authorizing
the pulling up of the rails. The petit
ton was based on the ground that the
company had failed to live I'D to the
terms of it's franchise, particularly by
failing for years to run trains on the
track. The city council, proceeding on
that theory, cancelled the franchise and
proceeded to have the tracks torn up,
when they were stopped by an order of
the court. which forbid them from in
terfering with property in the hands of
receivers and under direct control of
the court. under pain of punishment
for contempt.
The council then desisted from fur
Their molestation Of the property, and
proceeded by a petition for permission
to remove the track, which the court
granted. and now it is to presume
that the streaks of 80 will be re-
moved from the streets.

Prefers the STATE Courts.

Hans L. Hansen commenced an ac-
ton a short time ago to recover $4,000
damages from the Germania Lead
works, alleging that while in the en-
ploy OF the company he fell down the
hoist shaft and severely hurt himself.
Yesterday this action was dismissed
end new one begun, in which Hansen
prays for damages in the sum of S1,999.
The reason for the change in the
amount of damages is that the case
cannot be taken out of the state courts
when the amount involved is less than
s.. OG0. The Germania Lead works is
q California corporation and the cause.
as originally entered, might be trans
ferred to the United States courts,
where the litigation would be much
more expensive to the plaintiff than
the state courts.

Costigan are the attorneys for the
plaintiff

Nephi J. Pratt yesterday filed his
answer in the Third district court TO
the suit commenced against him by
Sophie Heding, in which Miss Heding
seeks to recover $4,000 damages for Sc
duction and breach of promise of mar
riage.
The answer is a specific denial of
each of the material allegations of the
complaint.
Pratt denies that on September IS,
1893, or at any other time, he promised
to marry Miss Heding, and also denies
that he indecently assaulted her and
seduced and debauched her. He also
denies that by any act of his she was
made sick or her health injured so that
she could not attend to her usual avo-
cations and on those grounds he prays
that her complaint be dismissed.
The defendant, who was out of town
since the suit was begun, returned yes
terday.

OUR EXPORT TRADE.

The treasury department figures of the export trade of the United States for the month of August show a con- tinued gain in the leading products. The amount of breadstuffs sent abroad in August, reaching the value of $25,- 502, 2,532, was never equalled in any preceding month it broke the record. So, also, in provisions other than cat tie and hogs, the value of $12,233, ,137 has been reached in any single month only half a dozen times in our com mercial history.
 The extraordinary character of the record is seen more clearly by taking the aggregate of the exports for the eight months ending with August, in comparison with the first eight months of preceding years. In these eight months of 1897 we have exported more breadstuffs by S3,000000 worth than in the entire years of 1894 and 1895; and, comparing the eight months periods, these exports exceed those of 1896 for the same time by more than $25, 5,OOO,- 900.
 Wheat, of course, leads in this showing. For the month of August, we exported 14,246,403 bushels, as against 4,199, ,434 in August, 1896, and the better prices our farmers got for it is shown by the return of S13,11S,- S97 this year, as against $4,199, 434 last year. The record of eight months shows S36, ,323,3 ,374 for wheat in 1897 as against s27, ,456, ,o32 in 1886.
 All this is encouraging. It does not make prosperity, but it lays a very solid foundation for it.

ENGLAND AND SILVER.

Although the members of the none tary commission appointed by the president to sound" the foreign gov ernments on the adv1sability of call ing a conference to discuss the freer use of silver have been ridiculed by a certain part of the press, and public men, the commissioners seem to have exerted some influence on the Eng fish. At the meeting of the directors of the Bank of England a few days ago MT. Hugh Smith, the governor of the bank, said that among the pro posals by which Englacd might in crease the use of silver without i'm pairing the gold standard, was one from the English government asking the bank to hold ia reserve the amount of silver permissible under the act of 1844 as against notes. The governor of the bank has replied that the bank was prepared to hold one fifth of the bullion issued against the notes in silver, provided the French hints should open to the free coinage of silver and the prices of the metal are satisfactory.
 Along with this come cheering re- ports from Senator Wiolcott, who still has hopes of an international agree ment for free silver.
 ED The position of the English bank ing authorities will be apt to make the friends of international bimetal- lism too buoyant. The English state ment is very guarded and hinges on contingencies that are by no means sure. While the French government is pronouncedly in favor of an inter national agreement 1t is doubtful whether France would open her hints as England suggests.
 Considering the attitude of Eng land with reference to an internation- al agreement or any recognition of silver the announcement of the offic- ials is rather surprising, but it shows that the labors of the American com mission have not been in vain The English government will also some time next month give an answer to the question of the American com- missioners in regard to the opening of the Indian hints.
 The way to an international agree ment is a rugged one, but it is by no means hopeless.
