A Move in the Rieht Direction.

The Board of Trade is to be commended
for taking steps to have the government
make this port the point of embarkation
for the troops intended for the occupation
of Cuba. 1t has been demonstrated that
troops can be embarked from here without
any unnecessary delay, and that there are
excellent camping grounds close to the
city together with an abundance of the
best of water. In fact, there is no one
thing that is lacking to make this a most
satisfactory point for the embarkation Of
troops.
1t appears to be well understood that
Gen. Lees corps will go to Cuba just as
soon as arrangements are made for the
occupation of the island by our forces.
The troops cannot embark from either
Jacksonville or Fernandina, If the trans
ports are vessels of deep draft That they
will be vessels of that kind there is no
doubt. The troops will. therefore, have
20 embark at a deep draft port AS this
Is the nearest port at which deep draft
vessels can be accommodated, there is
every reason to suppose that the troops
will be sent here to take transports TO
Cuba, especially as the encampment facil-
tiles are all that can be desired, the mar
ket for all kinds of supplies the best and
the means for making repairs TO ships
excellent.

The Murder Mystery.

The belief seems TO be quite general
among the people of the city that August
II. Heilegenberg, who was found dead on
Tuesday morning at the corner of Ogle-
thorpe avenue and Aberorn street, was
the victim of an assassin. There appears
to be some ground for the belief. It docs
not seem reasonable that the mans death
was caused by a fan The marks found
upon him cannot be accounted for readily
on The theory that his death was caused
by a fail.
The chief of police Is quoted as express
ing the opinion that the mans death was
accidental. He may be right, but the pub
lie seems to think differently. In view of
the facts that there are good grounds for
suspecung foul play, both the city and
county authorities should take steps to
have a thorough investigation made of all
the circumstances of the case with the
purpose of satisfactorily determining
whether the mans death was accidental
or was the act of a murderer. The public
would like TO have the truth discovered if
it is possible TO discover it They don't want
the matter dropped simply because some OF
the officials are Of the opinion that the
death was accidental. TO let the matter
drop where it is would be almost like en-
couraging murder, because it would seem
to Indicate indifference as to whether a
great crime was committed or not. Let the
detectives be put 10 work upon the case.
The people will feel safer if they know
that nothing is left undone to ferret out
crime

Gen. Joe Wheeler is quoted as saying
that he seriously told Col. Theodore Roos-
evelt that some day the people would run
him for President Gen. Wheeler is thor
oughly satisfied with his qualities as a
soldier, and believes that his absolute in
tegrity, with other good features, and his
popularity, will ultimately lead him to a
presidential nomination. No doubt the
general mirrored Teddy's mind when he
made this prediction, for his boom for the
New York governorship is now being set
in motion, and that as is well known, is
one of the famous stepping stones to
higher things.

The Now secretnrx of stnte.

The question has been asked whether the
President has acted wisely in appointing
Col Hay Secretary of State. 1t
is true Col Hay has made an
excellent ambassador to the Court
of St James, and he ought to have,
and probably has a very thorough ac-
quaintance with the Eastern question:
question with which the Secretary of
State should be very familiar. That ques-
ton has suddenly become of very great
importance to us.
Col Hay has had the best of opportu-
mites for studying it. It may be that it
was because of his supposed acquaintance
with It the President called him to the
Office of Secretary of State.
Il is possible Col. Hay is just the man
for the place. The fact that he has had
little or no training for it may not pre-
vent him from making an excellent rec
ord In 1t. He Is a man of ability and is
familiar with the routine duties of the
office, having occupied the Office of as
sistant secretary of state for a couple of
years
Secretary Day. the present occupant Of
the Office, had less experience than Col
Hay has had when he was appointed to
the position. In fact, he was unknown
outside of Ohio. He has surprised the
country by the success with which he has
conducted the Office. 1t has been the Gus
tom, though not an unbroken one, for the
President to make one of the ablest of the
leaders of his party Secretary of State.
Judge Day was not a prominent man in
his party when he was appointed, and Col
Hays political prominence dates from his
nomination to the position of ambassador
to Great Britain.
But because Col. Hay has not shown
that he possesses the qualities of a states
man and diplomat it does not follow that
he does not possess them. His appoint
meut seems to be pretty generally ap-
proved, and there is no doubt that the
hope is entertained by the people that he
will be successful in his new position.

Five of the officers of the Sixth Massa-
chusetts Regiment who resigned in Porto
Rico, returned to New York the other day
on the st. Paul. and they make quite SEN
sational statements with reference 10 the
causes that led them to leave their COM
mand. Col. Woodward said he resigned
because he would not comply with an
order from Brig. Gen. Garretson to shoot
his own men who, on account of physical
disability could not keep up with the reg
ulars on a march. Many of them were his
personal friends, and under no circum-
stances could he consider himself justified
in killing them because they became stray
glers on account of physical weakness.
If the facts are as Col. Woodward states
them, he was undoubtedly correct in his
position. The American army IL supposed
TO and does differ from that of Spain in
this particular at least, that it does take
note of the fact that its men are human
beings. There is doubtless material in the
case for further investigation.

The question of states rights is liable to
be raised in a rather interesting manner,
this time as the result of the establish
ment of the military camp at Montauk
Point, on Long Island Gov. Black of that
state issued an order establishing a state
quarantine against Camp Wikoff the other
day, and Gen. Young, the commander-in-
chief of the camp, promptly announced
that the order was not effective. The clash
between the Federal and the state author
tiles is liable 10 result In trouble If both
are persistent in the attitude they have as
sumed 1t would seem that it is one of a
states inalienable rights at least, to pre-
vent the Introduction of contagion among
its people, where the proper steps might
stop it,

A Madrid dispatch says that Admiral
Cervera has been ordered to return home
by the first ship regardless of nationality
An unfortunate thing about such orders
to Spanish officers is that they never
know what to expect when they get back
to their own country. So far as is known
Admiral Cervera has never received one
word of sympathy from home, and &c
Spain's usual course is followed In this
case, it IS not likely that the reception Of
the gallant old commander will be very
cordial one.

A Photographic manufacturing com
pany of Rochester, n. ", are to manufac-
ture three Photographic films, each 10000
feet in length, for Ellis b. Dunn, says the
Philadelphia Record. Mr.. Dunn is better
known throughout the country as Far
mer Dunn the man who recently resign
ed his position as weather observer in New
York. OF late Mr.. Dunn has been devot-
ing his time and attention TO a new ma
chine of the kaleidoscope type of which
he is the inVntor, and which it is claim
ed, viii far surpass anything of the kind
that has preceded it. This machine is call
ed the telegraph, and il is stated that GER
tain English rights have been disposed of
for the snug sum Of $3.50 600. As each one
of the films viii measure 500, 900 feet, each
one will be only a little short of 10 miles
in length, and each viii cost So 600, or a lit
tie less than 81 900 a mile. IL is proposed
that II the Corbett-McCoy fight. to be held
in Buffalo on Sept. 10, is not postponed. to
use the films on that occasion. Three pho
tOgraphing machines viii be in operation
al the same time, to make sure that there
will be one perfect set of pictures The cal
culation is that each machine will run 80
minutes. That is TO say that it viii take
50 minutes for the $4,000 feet of film to run
through the machines, fact which gives
good idea of their speed. The pictures
will be taken at the rapid rate of u per
second. IL is expected that the fight Will
not last more than % rounds Win three
minutes to the round and one minute inter-
val between the rounds, the 70 rounds
would be fought in 50 minutes. From the
negatives Il Is thus expected 20 secure six
positives. and these are TO be made and
exhibited throughout the country Ia Far
mer Dunn's' machines. For the six ma
chimes Mr.. Dunn Is 20 receive a rental Of
500 per week.

CALLED CANNON A POPULIST
ARTHUR BROWNS OPINION OF
THE SENATOR.
Says the Latter Voted Against the
Tariff In Order to Gain Notoriety
--Whittemore Speaks.

About 200 people were present last
night at Thomas Hall, the occasion
of the Republican rally. Ex-senator
Arthur Brown was the principal speak
er, as ex-State Senator Abbott of Ohio,
who was billed to speak, did not ar
rive. c. o. Whittemore also spoke. He
pleaded support for Mckinley, who APP
pointed him district attorney, and said
that the way TO show appreciation was
to send Republican to congress Sill
yer, he said, was not an issue in this
campaign
Senator Brown was loudly applauded.
He spoke mainly about protection and
reciprocity He eXcoriated the Cleve-
land administration. Speaking of pro-
lection he said: Il care not how much
our Democratic friends may claim that
protection is not the issue. 1t will be
so long as the Democratic party assails
it,
He claimed that the protective tariff
did more benefit to Utah proportionate-
ly than to any other state. Speaking of
the local situation Brown said:
Il understand you have a sort of "a
l don't know what you call it-a sort
of a third party-a horse running
alone" He urged all Republicans to
stand by the party and not go over to
the fusion element He referred TO Sen
ator Cannon as a Populist and said that
there were several circumstances, in
Guiding his vote for the Dingley bill,
which proved it. This vote, he said,
was for spite and dominated by greed
for office and desire for notoriety in
stead of a desire to do something for
silver. He closed by urging the people
to support the straight Republican
ticket.
Senator Brown speaks tonight at
North Ogden.
a Republican meeting was also held
at Plain City, Bill Glasmann and others
spoke. After the meeting the resident
Republicans gave a banquet and had a
general good time.
