a Reported Explosion.

1t was reported that an explosion
took place near the Warm Springs last
evening about 7:30. Nothing, however,
could be learned of it, though several
people in different parts of the city
heard it. 1t is thought probable that it
was only a large blast which was fired
in one of the quarries near the place.

A CHANCE For DEFAULT.

Evidently through some unintentional
oversight, City Attorney Hall has not
been directed by the mayor TO defend
the city against Mr.. Pratts claim for
the Office of police chief and for salary
since Jan. l. Undoubtedly the city
council will this evening formally direct
the attorney TO enter appearance for
the city at the hearing in court next
Saturday. If the council should happen
to overlook this little matter the plain
tiff would have clear sailing in taking
default against the municipality, but
such a contingency is unlikely to arise.
Incidentally, referring to the confer
ton raised by Mr.. Pratt in court, 1t is
related that the geI,lle rs attorneys
are placing strong faith in the decision
written by Justice Bar, ! and concur
red in by Justices Zane and Mine The
decision is in the ex-chief's case against
the board of police and fire commission
ers for reinstatement after his suspen-
sion, and bears date of June IA. 1897. 1t

Washington. Feb. 14-Actuated by
sense OF honor and strict idea of JUS
ticA the state department has taken
steps 10 place in the hands OF Senior
CanaIejas the epistle written by Senior
Dupuy de LONE which led to the
RESIGNATION of the minister. The trans
action IS explained in the following
brief statement given out by the state
department:
"Recognizing that the legal owner
shin of the De LONE letter IS IN MI.
Canaleias. and his agent and attorney,
Mr. Carlisle. having proper authority
to receive the same, the letter was de-
livered to him today.
AS explained in this statement, MI
Carlisle was fully authorized TO apply
for and receive the letter, having the
cabled authorization from Senior
Canalejas.
NO OTHER CAUSE.
In the view of the state department,
the letter was a stolen document and
in that, like any other piece OF prop
erty. it should upon application be de-
Hvered TO its rightful owners. There
was no other course left open, for, IN
the United States as in all other coun-
tries having a code of laws, letter
becomes the sole property of the person
TO whom it is addressed Immediately II
starts on its way from the sender.
the latter cannot obtain possession OF
it without the consent Of the person
addressed; the limit of his powers
legally being in certain cases TO stop
the delivery of the paper
SERVED ITS PURPOSE.
This letter has. besides, already com
pletely served all of the uses for which
1t might have been applied by our gov
eminent. and there are in existence fac
smile copies of the paper that are so
surely authenticated as to leave no
legal doub- of their accuracy
There now remains only the closing
charter of the incident TO be written,
for the end is already in sight.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said in the press about demands on
Spain for apologies or retractions OF the
disasreeable things said by Senior
Dupuy de LONE in his letter, it can
be positively stated that at no time
since the publication of the letter has
the state department taken any such
course.
SPANS PROPRIETY.
Instead. it has relied entirely upon
the sense OF propriety Of the Spanish
government TO do all that was proper
ard ueecfui to wipe out the unpleasant
impression produced D. these STATE
ments. and It can now be said that
this course has been fully justified and
that the Spanish cabinet. now being
aware OF the fun text of the letter il IS
expected viii in a day CT TWO make
such disclaimer Of the letter as is re-
Quired by the circumstances. Tonight
the state department received official
notice from Madrid OF the selection of
Senior Louis Polo Bernabe as United
States minister to succeed Senior de
LONE.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-15

From the best unofficial information
obtainable, it is considered quite unlike
ly that Mayor Clark will this evening
submit to the city council for confirma-
ton the appointment of some qualified
citizen competent 20 fill the position of
chief of police. Since Arthur Pratt
commenced mandamus proceedings
against the city for salary alleged to be
due him as chief, and incidentally to
determine his right to re-assume COM
mand of the police department, the
opinion has gained ground that his
honor will demonstrate his fealty to
Mr.. Pratt'S cause by refraining from
appointing a chief in place of the time
rejected aspirant until the legal pro-
ceedings terminate in the supreme
court.
Until the end of this long lane is
reached it is improbable that any APP
pointments to subordinate positions on
the force will be made, or that Acting
Chief Rhodes will be displaced from his
post of temporary command.

TO STRIKE OUT BOND PROVISION

Washington, May 9.-The Senate COM
mittee on finance continued its work to.
day on the war revenue bill beginning
with the unfinished amendments offered
by the Republican members of the stamp
tax schedule. The committee considered
the two matters of the elimination of the
tonnage tax and the changing of the to-
bacoo schedule so as to relieve stock on
hand from taxation absolutely settled.
They have decided to leave the beer
schedule as it passed the House except
that the rebate is to be increased from
to 1-2 per cent.
The Democratic members of the COM
mittee have completed their amendments
and decided fully upon programme. In
addition to their provision for corpo-
ration tax they will offer an amendment
authorizing the issuance of $3.50, oo0. 600
in nom interest bearing treasury notes and
another authorizing the coinage of the
silver seigniorsge in the treasury. II
now seems quite certain that these pro-
visions will be incorporated in the bill as
reported to the Senate and that the bond
provision will be stricken out.
