Washington, Nov. 8. 1T is understood
that the president proposes making a
recommendation to congress that the
civil service rules be so amended as to
give preference in appointments to vet
Grams of the Spanish as we'll as of the

that preference be shown first to those
wounded in battle or who were actu.
ally at the front.

TeHaa Amendment ProbahlY D,

Austin, Tex, Nov. "A state cleo
zion was held Tuesday for the purpose
of voting on a constitutional amend
ment to pension all INDECENT ex-confed-
crate soldiers who came to Texas since
1880 at $S per month. 1t is believed
that the returns from the country vote
will defeat the pension amendment.
The hope is expressed by many that
the amendment is defeated, as in
seeking to pension confederate sol
diers, it will cost the state $3.50, 900 to
begin with, while an increase to ST.
900, 900 annually in very short time
Is probable.

vessels. Captain Clark, being on leave,
may be represented by another officer.
This fleet cost many millions of dol
lars. The yachts averaged in cost
about S50,000 and the tugs $4,000, while
the big liners transformed into cruisers

praised, and the navy department will
then advertise for bids for the ships

There is some curiosity as to the

Doubts are expressed in naval circles
whether these same fancy prices will
prevail when the offers to the govern

that some of the contractors will make
good profits at both ends, selling high
and buying low. The naval board will
see, however, that the government is
protected against serious loss.

CATHOLIC CHANGES.
Bishops Will No Longer Be Appoint
ed By Spain.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Among those
occupying high official positions with
the Catholic church, it is said that the
amalgamation of the Catholic commu-
mites of Cuba, Porto Rico and other
colonies presents no serious difficulties.
The first requisite, it is pointed out, is
to terminate the concOrdat by which
Spain and the vatican jointly conduct
the church administration OF these CO O.
MES. Under the concordat the Spanish
government names the bishops to be
appointed in the Spanish colonies, and
these names being sent to the pope, are
formally approved by the pontiff.
With the termination of Spanish SOW
ereignty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Antilles. this provision of the Spanish
nomination of bishops becomes inoper-
alive, and some system must take it's
place. For the present it is said the
bishops and clergy of these colonies
will be left in their places, and the
change of system will be inaugurated
gradually.
The new system will probably be that
under which bishops are chosen in the
United States.
1t is understood that the hierarchy of
Porto Rico will at once become at
tached to the American church. While
not annexed to the United States, the
church in Cuba may not be attached
to the American hierarchy, although its
administration is likely to be super
ViSed here.

WALTON MADE A MIsCUE.
Instructions to Castle Gate Repub-
licans Not Needed.

Castle Gate, Utah, Aug. 23.-Monday,
Sept. s. has been designated by the Re-
publicans of Carbon county as the date
for holding their county convention, but
the great chunks of harmony which State
Chairman Wesley K. Walton was trying
to work up when down here last week. in
an attempt to get members of the party
in line, are not visible to any great eX
tent. In the call which the state chair
man had already prepared and carried in
his inside coat pocket, this paragraph oc-
ours: We hope, the party will show an
united front and bury the differences of
the past and go forward to victory" This
had been prepared in typewriter form
and given to the county chairman that it
the various precinct chairmen. In an
other paragraph. Mr.. Walton instructed
the county chairman to say to the pre-
cinct chairmen: Send your best men
your most profound thinkers and most
talented orators" This paragraph
catches, of course, the precinct delegates
and was thrown out in this form by
clever Mr.. Walton that they might be
made to feel good and boost it up the
harder for the federal office-hOlding crowd
in Salt Lake.
But seriously. there is all kinds of dis
satisfaction among the Carbon county Re
publicans, and it will take a whole lot of
smooth work to keep them in line until
November. One great trouble is that ev-
cry So-called leader in the county wants
office, and if he does not get it, there will
be the biggest kind of a kick registered.
As an illustration of the desire to serve
the people. there is a postmaster in the
county appointed under the Mckinley adj
miniStration who will come here as
delegate, and backed by his precinct. who
Will not go away satisfied unless he is
given the nomination for county collector.
And so il goes all along down the line
The Democrats will hold their conven-
ton about the middle of September and
the general opinion is if they put up good
men there will be walk-away for the
party.

as they were found not TO conform in

ILLNESS OF ADMIRAL SCHLEY
EFFECT OF THE NERVOUS
STRAIN AT SANTIAGO.
Is Suffering From Exhaustion and
Unable to Leave His Room-No
Symptoms of Fever.

Westport, Conn, Aug. 23.-Rear Ad-
miral w. S. Schley, who has been in
disposed at the Saugatuck residence of
w. S. Wortley, his son-in-law, was
feeling much improved when a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press called
this morning. The admiral could not
be seen. His physician had given strict
orders for his patients close seclusion.
Mr.. Wortley, however, announced that
the admiral had passed comfortable
night, and this morning was so far i'm
proved as to leave his room and break
fast with the family. Later in the day
it is proposed to take the admiral for
carriage drive.
The report that the patient is suffer
ing from a Santiago fever
is announced to be erroneous. DR.. J.
G. Gregory stated this morning that no
symptoms of fever have been discov-
cred. He characteriZes the admirals
illness as nervous exhaustion and the
reaction incident upon a sudden relief
from the exciting events of the past
few months.
AS the day advanced it became evil
dent that the admiral's condition was
such that it would be unwise for him
to undertake the proposed carriage
drive Immediately after breakfast the
patient returned to his room, and when
DR.. Gregory called at noon the adj
miral was advised to remain in his
room and in bed most of the day.
The physician this afternoon stated
that it was hardly possible that Ad-
miral Schley could make the trip to
Washington this week. He will GER
tainly not be in a condition to go to-
morrow, as he had hoped.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The navy de-
partment received a dispatch today
from Rear Admiral Schley's wife, say
ing that in her opinion his illness was
not serious, and that he would prob
ably be around in a few days. With
this assurance there is felt to be no
occasion for substituting another name
for that of the rear admiral on the
Porto Rico commission.
The illness of Captain Evans of the
Iowa has been reported to the depart
ment, and in his case, as well as others
where officers are sick after their long
service, leave will be granted and
every opportunity given for recupera-
ton

DAVIS COUNTY DIVIDED.
Sentiment Is Not Unanimous For the
Local Candidate

Kaysville, Aug. 23.-The sentiment in
Davis county as to congressman is very
much divided. and this, in spite of the
fact that B. H. Roberts is looked upon by
many as a Davis county man. There are
some VINO express a belief that in the
event of Mr.. Roberts election Salt Lake
and not Davis county could justly claim
the honor of having a representative in
congress. The fact remains however,
that Mr.. Roberts home is in Centervilie,
and he is a Davis county voter, and this
will give him a prestige that will de-
mand considerable personal popularity on
the part of any other candidate to over
come
Fisher S. Harris has many supporters
in this county, and if Mr.. Roberts were
not candidate he would be almost the
unanimous choice of the party. He will
draw some from the county unless I'M
foreseen circumstances arise.
1t may be stated as a fact that the
leaders of the party here, as we'll as the
rank and file, would like to see Mr.. King
retain his position in the house. His rec
ord has been admirable and there is feel
ing of disappointment that he desires to
go to the senate, where his chances of
doing effectual work are lessened.
Since the announcement of G. G. Rich
ards candidacy for the senate was made,
there have been many expressions heard
favorable to him. If Mr.. King decides
to remain in the senatorial race there will
be another division of sentiment

Especial Correspondence


Castle Dale, Emery County, Aug. PA
so-called Republican county convention
was held here On Saturday, the object OF
which was to elect six delegates to the
state convention. No public notice of the
gathering had been given, and the choos-
ing OF delegates to the convention was
as secret as the convention itself. Only
five precincts of the county were repre-
sented and when the meeting was called
to order it was deemed best to dispense
with the appointing of committees.
The delegates selected to the state con-
vention are: John Williams, William Fail,
II. S. Loveless. Frank Cook, Orange Seely,
and ]. d. Killpack. They were in
structed to vote for free coinage plank
in the state platform to do their best TO
secure the nomination of John Henry
Smith for congress and to support Judge
Zane for the supreme court judgeShip.
Altogether it was the most ridiculous at
tempt at a convention your correspond
ent has ever witnessed, and if anything
was necessary to lay the Republican party
completely on the shelf in this county. il
was furnished by the convention episode of
Saturday. Even Republicans of lifelong
standing in Castle Dale, who were notified
the morning following the secret caucus,
that they had been chosen delegates to the
county convention, were so Disguised with
the tactics employed that they refused
point blank to have anything to do with
the scheme, nor to visit the convention as
spectators.
Emery county may be marked safe on
the Democratic ledger.
