40-acre tract situated on the bench,
just east of Liberty park, for upwards
of $4,000, the deal being made by
Frank Z. McGurrin.
The object of the purchasers is to
establish a great college on the new
site, with grounds to meet every pos
sible demand for all the future.
The present college on Second South
street is Inadequate to meet even the
present demands, and it will, when this
great plan is carried out, become a day
school for boys.
The site purchased is the finest in
all the county for such an institution,
and the policy of expansion decided
upon by the Marist fathers will at
once be carried out.
The work of setting out trees and
improving the grounds is to be COM
menced Immediately, and next year the
foundation for the college, one that will
accommodate thousand students and
professors, will De laid. The intention
is to make this the greatest Catholic
educational institution in the whole in
termountain region, which will be trib-
utary to it.
OF course, it will be some time before
all the plans are fully matured. but
the vast Importance of the move can
be seen from this brief outline

THE RESULT.
Change In the Management Was Full
" Expected.

Ia EtCSlSN--
The result of the Short Line directors
meeting did not come as surprise to
railway officials here. All regarded it
as certain that the Union Pacific would
dominate the other system and this has
come true. The two roads Viii be OPP
Grated under separate management FOR
q time at least, but with HERMAN and
Burt or the executive committee there
is no longer any doubt as TO its future
policy.
There are many who now view it as
certain that the Ogden gateway will
be closed. while q few think matters
will run along rs at present. It is not
thought that any further change III the

as he present officials have made an

dereau was not in the handwriting of
Dreyfus, or an imitation by him of the
writing of Major Esterhazy. The latter
hypothesis, counsel continued, was ab-
soluteiy improbable. If it was an imi-
tation, the author of it must be third
party. If it was no imitation, the au-
thor of the bordereau, he asserted, can
only be Major Esterhazy himself. Con-
tinuing, NJ Monard pointed out that
the honor of the army was not in
volved in the doings of the courtmar-
tial. as, like other courts, they can err
without their honor suffering. After NJ,
Monard closed his argument the court
retired to deliberate.
REVISION GRANTED.
The court of cessation has decided to
grant a revision of the Dreyfus case,
and will institute a supplementary in
curry. The court, however, has declined
TO order the release of Dreyfus.
NJ. Yvos Guyot, in Suecle, today, as
serts that the secret documents in the
DreyfuS case were burned some days
ago
The decision of the court is as fol-
lows: In view of the letter of the min
lister of justice, dated Sept 10, 1898, in
closing arguments of the public pros
ecutor denouncing to the court the con-
demnation pronounced by the first
courtmartial of the military govern
ment of Paris on Dec. %, 1894, against
Alfred Dreyfus, then a captain of ar
tillery attached to the general staff; in
view of all the documents in the case.
and also of articles 443 TO 446 of the
code of criminal procedure. amended by
the law of June 10, 1895, relative to the
admissability of an application in
proper form, for redecision:
Whereas, The matter has been
brought before the court by the public
prosecutor, in virtue of the express or
der of the minister of justice;
Whereas, The application comes
within the category of the cases con-
templated in article 443, and has been
introduced within the period fixed by
article 444;
Whereas, The judgment. a revision
of which is demanded, has the force
of a chose judge;
Whereas, The documents produced
do not place the court in a position 10
decide all the merits of the case, and
there is ground for making supple
mentary inquiry;
For these reasons, the court declares
the application to be in proper form
and legally admissible, and states that
It will institute supplementary in

at the present moment for deciding on

termination has undoubtedly been
reached. and under no circumstances
will this government, through its Paris
representatives, consent TO a treaty
which does not involve a complete sur
render Of Spanish sovereignty therein.
II may be further stated that this gov
eminent will not assume any of the
Spanish debt or obligations, possibly
beyond the guarantee of certain munic-
ipal obligations which have been in
CURED in substantial municipal i'm
provements. The debt which Spain has
incurred in her efforts TO put down the
instruction will neither be paid. as
sumed nor guaranteed by the United
States. This fact, it is quite certain;
was distinctly stated TO our commits
sioners before they left Washington.
Whether or not this government would
consent to the payment Of any sum of
money to Spain for any part Of her
territory taken possession of by the
United States, should any be found to
be due upon a financial settlement of
the account, cannot be stated at this
time, and it is believed that this par
ticular feature of the question has
never been raised in the presidents

cabinet

LOSSES IN WAR WITH SPAIN
NUMBER GIVEN as 2,9O6 SOL

Twenty-six Hundred Died In Camps

Chicago, Oct 29.-Commissioner of
Pensions H. Clay Evans, who is in this
city, stopping at the Great Northern,
states that up to Sept. 80 the war with
Spain had caused the loss If the lives
of 2,9O6 American soldiers and sailors.
He further. declares that the statistics
OF his office shows that the percentage
of deaths in camps from disease during
last summer was much less than dur
ing the civil war. Commissioner Evans,
being asked for further particulars,
spoke as follows:
During the rebellion 10000 men We're

SHORTAGE In Coal Cars.

Should cold weather set in at the
present time. there would undoubtedly
be a coal famine in the city. Nearly
every coal dealer is more or less short
in filling orders, on account of the
scarcity OF cars. Particularly is this
true of the Union Pacific, which now is
something Ike 200 carloads behind.
Traffic on the road is so unprecedent-
eddy large that not nearly enough cars
can be secured TO bring the product to
the city, according to Manager Moore.
The Sweetwater people are in the
same 0redieament. So are other COM
panies, so that should the chilly winds
of winter sweep over the Wasatch or
Oquirrh within the next few days, the
supply on hand would soon be ex-
hauSted

Defendant Pleads Not Guilty-Dela-
ware Heard From.
San Francisco. Oct. 29.-Mrs Cordelia
Botkin was formally arraigned before
Judge Carroll Cook today upon the in
dictment filed by the grand jury last
evening. charging her with the murder
of Mrs. John p Dunning of Dover,
Del. No objection was made to the
Indictment. Mrs. Botkin pleaded not
guilty. and, by consent, her case was
held over until Saturday next to be
set for trial.
The attorney general of Delaware
has instructed Detective McVey to en-
ploy an attorney to get the Botl&in case
into the United States supreme court.
A writ of habeas corpus will be APP
piled for by McVey in the district or
circuit court Should the application
be denied. an appeal will be taken to
the United States supreme court. There
is only one possible obstacle to such a
course. The district court or circuit
court which denied the application may
also refuse to allow an appeal. Such
refusal is very rare and was held by
Judge Sawyer to BE- beyond the power
of the lower court in habeas corpus
cases: but both the district and circuit
courts lately refused to permit Durrant
to appeal They took the ground that
the request for leave to appeal. was
frivolous and made with intent to him
der and delay the cause of justice.

MUSSULMANS EXECUTED.
Took Part In Massacre of British
Soldiers.

Gambia, Crete, Oct 29.-Five more of
the Mussulmans convicted of taking
part in the massacre of British soldiers
on Sept. 5, were executed today. In
addition, four bashi- bazouks have
been sentenced to 20 years imprison-
ment at hard labor.
Since the departure of the Turkish
troops a number of additional guilty
Mussulmans have been discovered
daily. 1t appears that the Turkish Off
GERS appropriated the valuables looted
by their soldiers.
Dispatches from Gambia on Oct. IS
announced that seven Mussulmans
were hanged there for participation in
the massacre of Sept. 6.

Some Reflections on the War.

The first Naval battle has been
fought and our Navy as far as en-
gagged, gained victory that, in
history stands without a precedent
in it's attendant facts.
The results were of such a char
acter as to challenge belief, and
whilst Americans were astonished
and exultant, the reported particu-
lars were so overwhelmingly favor
able to us, that whilst willing and
proud to believe them, we naturally
expected to hear later, not that our
Navy had been defeated, but that
it had suffered some loss, in. both
ships and men.
Strange it was and is, that fllrth-
or, and official reports, not only
confirm the news first received, but
add to the brilliancy of Commodore
Dewey's achievement.
Whilst lie must be awarded the
praise and the honor, of formulat-
ing the hour, and plan of attacking
the Spanish fleet at Manila, and of
maneuvering his fleet during the
action; too much praise cannot be
bestowed on the officers and ma
rines under his command.
The fact that he lost not IL ship
nor a seaman, that but one ship
was injured, and not seriously eth
er, and that but six marines were
wounded, challenges precedent in
the history of naval actions where
anything like such forces were ell
gagged.
We have good reason to feel
proud of Commodore, now, Rear
Admiral Dewey, and his command.
We cannot reasonably expect to
be equally fortunate in our future
naval battles. We must look for los
ses in ships and men. The great
battle that is expected to come oft
between Commodore Sampson's
and the Spanish fleet at no distant
day, must result in serious loss Oh
both sides. That our feet will
triumph, we will not permit our
selves to seriously doubt. 1t must
be victorious, for our cause is Just,
according to every mode of reason
ing among christianized and civil
lied nations. When such a battle
may take place is at this time i'm
possible of prediction. Spain ap-
pears to believe that we are going
to make an attack on Cadiz, and to
combat it, leaves Cuba at our mer-
cy, except so far as it can be de-
Tended by her army of occupation
and her forts.
Whether her fleet will be sent to
Manila to attack Admiral Dewey
and resume dominion, is only
matter of conjecture and of posi-
bility.
Should Spain adopt such a ruse,
our feet must be left free to enter
her home ports and our army to oc-
cupy, Cuba and Porto Rico.
In a brief time our land forces
will be organized and on the tramp,
and it is certain Uncle Sans boys
are invincible by any force Spain
can muster.
