PRINCIPLES OF NEUTRALITY.
Timely Queries Answered In tn
British House of Commons.

London, April PA statement in
parliament that the United States will
adhere to the treaty of Paris regarding
neutral vessels was cheered. No an
swer has been received from Spain.
Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist
asked whether the government would
consider the advisability of notifying
the British colonies and her merchants
that coal must be considered contra
band of war during the continuance of
hostilitieS between Spain and the
United States. Mr.. Balfour replied:
Her majesty's government cannot
lay down the principle that coal is con-
traband in the way suggested. There
is no doubt that it very frequently is
contraband, but not of necessity or un-
der all circumstances"
Mr.. Balfour added: 1.-THE treaties of
1885 and 1899 between Spain and the
United States affirming between them
selves the principle that neutral flag
covers the enemy's goods, are still in
force.
Whether a steamer carrying Ameri-
can or Spanish official dispatches, af-
ter war is declared, is liable to seizure,
must depend upon the facts in the case.
No. general answer can be given"
Answering the question which Mr..
Dalziel gave notice of yesterday of put
ting today, whether or not steps are
to be taken to retain the Spanish tor
pedo boat Audaz now in dock at
Queenstown for repairs in the event of
war breaking out before the repairs are
completed, so as to prevent a repeti-
ton of the Alabama case, Mr.. Balfour
said that if, as he understood it to be
the case, the Audaz Is a commissioned
Spanish ship of the Spanish navy. it
would be contrary to international
practice to detain her

Sa1oonkeeper.

The case of the state VS.. James Du-
bois has been on trial in the Seventh
district court today before Judge Jacob
Johnson and jury. Dubois is charged
with assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to do bodily harm, the al
legged victim being one NJ. NJ. Riley,
saloonkeeper. The evidence was very
conflicting, the prosecuting witness
claiming on the stand that the assault
was practically unprovoked and that
Dubois attacked him, beat him over
the face and head with a revolver, in
fiicting three severe wounds, and. left
him in an almost unconscious condition
The defendant testified TO an almost
entirely different state of facts. Ac-
cording to his testimony, upon the af-
ternoon in question he and Riley had
dispute over a small account which the
saloonkeeper had against him. Dur
ing the discussion Riley used some very
hard language towards Dubois, where
upon Dubois left the saloon for the
purpose of raising the money to pay
off his whisky debt. Returning shortly
afterwards with the money he ten
dered it to Riley, who refused to ac-
cept in on the ground that the amount
was insufficient Riley again abused
him, and after calling him a number of
vile names hit him a blow on the side
of the head. The defendant then in self

COURT At PANGUITCH.
McCune Surrenders Himself-Lee and
Spencer Sentenced

McCune Surrenders Himself-Lee and
Spencer Sentenced.
Panguitch, April 1S.-The April term
of the Sixth judicial district court for
this county closed today. Business was
transacted as follows:
Frank Lee, convicted of horse steal
lnS at this term, was sentenced to two
years confinement in the state prison.
The bonds of David McCune, $l,5e0,
were declared forfeited, defendant not
having appeared TO have sentence i'm
posed. He was convicted of assault with
intent to commit rape, and sentenced
to is months in the penitentiary.
Attorney CritchlOW of Salt Lake City
has teiegraphed the county attorney
that McCune had surrendered himself
in execution of the sentence passed
upon him to the warden of the peni-
tertiary at Salt Lake City. This attor-
ney asked thai a commitment be sent
up by mail ct once, as the warden at
the pen would not receive him.
Brigham Spencer appeared this morn
ing and was remanded into the GUS
tody of the sheriff. to be taken to the
state prison, there 10 complete his SEN
tence of one year, the serving of which
was interrupted when he succeeded in
perfecting the appeal of his case in
July last.
IN the smith and Mott EranQ lar
ceny case demurrerS to the informa-
tions wepe argued and overruled. The
demurrers raised many questions, chief
among which was the one relating to
the repeal by the new code of that sec
ton of the old law which made the
stealing of cattle grand larceny, ire
spective of the value of the property
taken, and the prosecution of offenses
under that old law under the new code.
The offense in this case is alleged to
have been committed in November last
year, and prosecution was commenced
before the code went into effect, but
the proceedings We're found to have
been Irregular and defective, and a new
preliminary hearing was had the other
day. The court held that the defend
ants can be legally prosecuted on a
charge of grand larceny as defined by
the old law under these circumstances.
A motion for continuance was argued,
sufficient showing be made to warrant
continuance in the unavoidable absence
of material witnesses for the defense
and the case went over till next term
hence the question affecting the poll
tics of the jury commissioners for this
county was not settled.
Judge McCarty, Stenographer Rollo
and Lawyers Bean and Chichester
started for Kanab today. The April
term OF court for Kane county should
have opened today. It viii be two days
late, however, in opening, owing to the
fact that business here detained the
judge longer than was expected.

A DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION.
Greatest In Vancouver Since the
Memorable Fire of 1886.

Vancouver, B. c., April 21.-Not since
Vancouver was destroyed by fire in
1885 has there been such a coniagra-
ton as took place early this morning.
The fire started in one of the buildings
on Stimson's wharf and soon assumed
disastrous proportions.
The entire fire brigade of the city
was quickly on the ground, but the fire
had obtained so firm a hold and burned
so fast and furiously that it was soon
seen that the buildings on Stimson'S
wharf were doomed. A number of
Canadian Pacific cars filed with val
liable freight standing on sidings soon
became a prey to the flames.
The burning mass covered an area of
wharf about $50 feet by 20 feet. No es-
innate of the damage has yet been
made, as it is not fully known what
was destroyed.

TESL4,S LATEST.

We have become so accustomed to wonders, especially wonders in the use of electricity, that Nikola Tesla's latest announcement will not make any great excitement, and yet it is a very inn portant one. Tesla has been experi- menting in the transmission of cleo trical power for many years, and from time to time the public have been in- formed as to the progress of his work He started in his recent work on the fact that if air enclosed in vessel be rarefed, it's insulating properties are impaired to such an extent that 1t be- comes a true conductor of electricity. Of course it is not practicable, nor. in the present stage of development of our respiratory organs, would it be de- sirable to rarefy all the air of the at mosphere for purposes of electric trans mission, therefore MT. Tesla proposes, in effect, to plant his storage reservoir or eleCLr1clly very nlsn up III the dlF, where it may be sent to an equally elevated distributing point at any dis tance required.
 The practical value of MT. Teslas s invention or discovery can hardly be determined yet. It is not designed primarily for application 70 telegraphy, but rather for the distribution of large currents of electricity from produc- ing center to widely scattered points without the aid of a metallic conductor, but MT. Tesla claims that 1t can be ap- piled to telegraphy without difficulty. The chief purpose of the invention so far, however, is the utilization of great power-producing centres and to make the electricity generated at Niagara available without loss and at a mini- mum of cost in the metropolis.
