francisco associates relative to the
starting I'D of the Ontario mine, and
the encouraging news is brought back
that the owners have. strong hopes of
getting everything in shape to resume
active operations about the first of the
year. Certain contingencies may arise,
however, that may upset the plans
mapped out, but so far as can be learn
ed, the prospects are very fair.
Mr.. Chambers had a very good OPP
portunity during his short stay in the
Golden state to form an idea of the
political situation. and he entertains
The belief that Mcguire stands a very
good chance of election. A great deal
of interest is taken in the campaign,
and while the Southern Pacific and
most OF the big corporations are max
ing hard fight against the Democratic
candidate, he is making a splendid
struggle, and if beaten it will be by a
narrow margin. 1t is generally believed
the rural districts viii give him good
majorities. while in the cities there is
a strong sentiment against his single
tax ideas, which make good campaign
stock for his opponents to disseminate
among certain classes.
Il found the times in California fairly
good-as good as could be expected -
continued Mr.. Chambers, changing the
subject There has been shortage
of crops, but with fair prices and the
general prosperity resulting from a
bountiful harvest during the previous
year. the farming districts have done
very WELL There is a decided scarcity
of stock for shipment, as nearly every
thing in this line has been sent out of
the country
During his stay in San Francisco Mr..
Chambers talked with several Dromi-
nent New Workers we'll posted on the
political situation in the Empire state,
all expressing the conviction that Van
Wyck would beat Roosevelt for gov
ernor He also found a general senti-
ment among the people from all parts
of the country to the effect that the
chances for a Democratic house in the
next congress are very good.
On his way home Mr.. Chambers was
accompanied by Edward H. Clark,
manager of the Hearst estate, who
stopped over to spend the day in this
city. Mr.. Clark goes to ogden this
morning, to meet his wife, who will ar
rive from San Francisco, and then pro-
coed to New York City.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
One Hundred Thousand Men Needed
For Foreign Service.


Washington, Nov. 1.-The request of
the First Colorado infantry to be re
turned from Manila to the United
States cannot be granted by the war
department 1t was stated by war
department official that such requests
had been frequent from soldiers of vol
unteer companies, who enlisted to
fight, but did not enlist for garrison
duty. Nothing could be done until
congress met and provided some kind
of a force to take the place of the
volunteers.
The subject of the reorganization of
the army, with a view to securing an
adequate force for the new posses
sions of the United States, has already
received the serious consideration OF
the president, the secretary of war and
the officers of the army. The president
will make recommendations to congress
on this subject, embodying his views
and the views of those who are in po-
sitions to give him the very best adj
vice. 1t is probable that he will recon-
mend an increase of the army to some
thing like 100000 men, although he may
think that 10000 is enough. There has
been some talk also of enlisting for
garrison duty two companies or a bat
talon of natives to each regiment do
ing garrison duty in Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines. 1t is believed that
by this method q considerable portion
of the restless population of the is
lands. and especially those who have
been bearing arms in the insurgent or
Spanish armies, could be kept quiet
and laW-abiding.

RIVALRY IN SUGAR REFINING
DoscHER PLANT STARTED
WORK YESTERDAY.
Modern Appliances Enable Produc-
ton at Reduced Cost-Prediction
OF Hostilities to Result.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Times says:
The new Doscher sugar refinery begins
IFS actual output of refined sugar to-
day. Friends of the new enterprise in
sist that through the use of modern ap-
paratus the Doscher plant will be able
to turn out it's product at an average
of over one-eighth of cent per pound
cheaper than is possible in the old re-
fineries. No recent trade event has
commanded the Wall street attention
which is given to today's start by the
Messrs. DOscher of their competition
with the American Sugar company, in
whose management for so many years
they were conspicuous.
President Havemeyer of the Amerf-
can Sugar Refining company is quoted
as saying to business acquaintance
that it is the Doscher and not the Ar
buckle competition which he has reason
to fear, and from the same quarter
came rather violent predictions of
dreadful things which the company
proposed to inflict upon the rash Sc
cedefs. One of the first collisions be-
tween the Doschers and the American
companies will be in the matter of con-
trolling the patronage of wholesale
grocers. Dominance in that quarter is
to be made the subject of the first test
of the DoScher enterprise.

he was chosen to continue in the place
he has so ably filed at the head of the
Short Line system.
The message, though brief, conveyed
news that means a great DEAL not
only to the city, but to the state Of
Utah. as it practically settles the fact
that the head offices of the sysem will
remain in Salt Lake. 1t is now an alb
solute certainty that the Short Line.
for some time to come. at least, will be
conducted as a separate system. with
Salt Lake the center as heretofore.
The election of Mr.. Bancroft also
means the retention OF Traffic Manager
Eccles and General Passenger Agent
Burley, as well as the heads of other
departments, and puts an end to the
feeling of unrest which has pervaded
the Offices since the meeting of the
stockholders in this city about two
weeks ago
While Mr.. Bancroft's selection took
place at the same time when W. D.
Cornish was elected president, for soma
reason or other it has been kept secret
Until yesterday. No doubt the higher
officials knew that such action had been
taken. but It was kept 50 quiet that
even the trusted clerks in the depart
ments knew absolutely nothing. Mr.
Bancroft, while no doubt being aware

received his official notification. which
came early yesterday morning. When
1t became generally known there was a

ness men, TOO, who heard the news.
were not slow in declaring that Mr..
Bancroft's selection was not only de-
served by reason Of the good record he
has made, but the very best thing that
could have happened to Salt Lake.
So far as the immediate future policy
of the Short Line is concerned it is suf-
ficient to say that it will be conducted
on an Independent basis and still in

harmony with the demands Of the
Union Pacific interests. The two sys-
TENS will be separate, but at the same
time in entire harmony with each other.
So far as can be learned from the most
reliable sources, there viii be no radi-
cal changes in the personnel of the var
ious departments, as the record made
by the present officials in every depart
ment has been very satisfactory. Mr..
Bancroft's position is the only elective
one outside of the president. The others
are appointed by the manager, subject
to the approval of the executive COM
mittee, of course. The reelection OF
Bancroft is an endorsement of the past
administration of Short Line affairs.
and therefore it is fair to assume that
the old heads viii be the moving force
under the new arrangement as we'll.
Messrs. Eccles and Burley are still in
Omaha, but it is expected they will get
hGme today, or tomorrow at the latest.
The Ogden gateway still continues to
be a subject for discussion. When
Manager Bancroft was questioned
about it, he shok his head, remarkinG
that he could say nothing that would
throw any light on the future inten-
lions of the men in control of the two
systems. The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the gateway will be
left open for some time, at least until
the new officials have had the oppor-
tunity to determine the practical re-
suits

barkation of battery c, Utah artillery.
for Manila. Batteries A and B have
preceded battery C, and allare in for a
long tour of duty, according to the
statement of the adjutant general.
In commenting upon the petition of
the First Colorado volunteers, now in
the Philippine islands, to be mustered
out, Adjutant General Corbin said that
all the volunteers in the Philippines
would be required to remain there for
many months to come. In view of the
expense and difficulty of TRANSPORTING
large bodies of men to the Philippines,
the department would expect troops to
remain patiently at their posts until re-
lieved.

ARE ANXIOUS TO GO.
Men of Battery Are Tired of Gar
rison DUTY.

Captain JENNINGS, in the course of
conversation with Herald representa-
tive before the unexpected order to
embark for Manila was received, said
that when the men first reached the
Preside they We're as enthusiastic
lot OF soldiers as ever camped on the
reservation. The long and tedious wait,
without arms or equipment, gradually
had its erect upon them, and when fin
ally it seemed certain that all the bat
terry could hope for was to he assigned
to barracks duty in California, they
became discouraged. Captain Jennings,
however, was hopeful mat the boys
would at least be sent TO Honolulu, and
from the first has worked unJiringly TO
improve the efficiency Of his battery.
The drills have been kept up until the
artillerymen go through the evolutons
like veterans, being only handicapped
now by the absence OF cannon.
Battery c has won the respect of all
the officers at the Preside By the eX-
ceilence OF its work and the gentle
manly conduct Of the men at all times.
In this latter respect the battery has
made the best record of any organize
ton camDed at the Preside for the
same length OF time.
While small, the organization has at
tracted the attention of high military
authorities there, and has been comDn~
mented time and again.
The battery left Salt Lake 103 strong,
three men coming on later. 1t is COM
manded by Captain Frank W. Jen-
nings, with j. L. Murphy of Ogden
first lieutenant, w. j. 3. Stacey Of San
