The San Francisco call., 1898-12-04

It Is a tribute of Ericsson's genius that the main features of the monitor of 1862 are still the main features of the new ships-that is, they will be fiat bot toned vessels, armored on the sides and on the deck, which is slightly elevated above the waterline, and will carry tur- rets.
 The designs for the new ships were prepared by the chief constructor of the navy, who decided that, with the appro- priation granted by Congress, the best results would be obtained by building single turreted vessels, the turret to be of the elliptically balanced type, such as had been designed for the recent battle ships, mounting two 12-inch guns of the latest pattern. The remainder of the armament is to consist of four A. inch rapid firers and a secondary bat tery composed of three 6-pounder rapid firers and four 1-pounder automatic guns.
 The armor is to be noticeably heavy, that attached to the hull having a max imum thickness of eleven inches in the

 This statement is based on the
 report that General Pollock has just made to the Interior Department concerning the redskins of Indian Ter ritory. He says that they have the largest per capita wealth of any class of people in our country. It is about fifteen times the per capita wealth of all the people in America, which means that in reality it is about 100 times that of the average workingman.
 Truly the redskins are to be envied. And in addition to the wealth the In- dians have a freedom from care that comes to very few white men, even those possessed of thousands

On these the behavior of the ships was exactly as expected, and, as they retarded the fleet, and by their small coal radius and defective speed could not fight their guns in an aver age sea, Rear Admiral Sampson and other officers were compelled to give their reputation for such work a blow which ought to silence even the few zealots who are more strenuous than judicious in their advocacy.
 It is quite another story, however, when their employment for harbor and

Recogniz- ing their fighting value, and also, to some degree, their eXtraneous value as schools of instruction for the proposed naval reserve, the Navy Department was directed last year by Congress to submit plans for four single-turreted
 monitors. These were adopted, and contracts were given out in September for their construction. After more ma- ture consideration, however, it was dis

BLANCO'S TROUBLES MULTIPLY
APPARENT STATE OF SIEGE IN
HAVANA.
Colonel Parro and Officers Threaten
to Visit Palace and Collect Pay
Precautions Taken.

Havana, Nov. 8 (via Key Kest, Nov.
1O.-Since early on the morning of
Sunday last the streets of Havana have
again presented the appearance of a
siege. At every corner four regulars
are stationed, armed with Mauser rifles,
besides the usual city patrol.
As it is known the Orden Publico
forces have been threatening trouble
over the refusal of the government to
pay the arrears of wages due them, it
was at first supposed these military
precautions we're taken out of fear of
an outbreak in that quarter. Later,
however, it was learned that Colonel
Masso Parro. late commander of the
disbanded Cuban EsDanola brigade
with his officers, had threatened to
come to the city, proceed to the palace
and demand the settlement of his Of
ficers' pay Feeling that the arrival of
Colonel Parro would be the signal for
other malcontents to join the move
ment, and thus cause serious trouble,
Captain General Blanco forbade Col
onel Parro to come to Havana Antici-
pating INSTRUMENTATION, however, Gen
eral Blanco took precautions to quell
any attempted uprising.
General parro first attracted atten-
ton when, ranking as a brigadier gem
eral of the Cuban insurgents, he de-
serted to the Spanish army, was given
the rank of colonel and organized a
brigade of 5000 Cubans under his lead
erShip, known as the Cuban Espanola
brigade, which did signal service for
the SpaniardS during the late war.

General Manager D. G. Dodge, Secre-
tary D. L. Dodge, who is accompanied
by Mrs. Dodge. and James C. Parrish,
one of the directors of the line.
These people came in on a special
yesterday morning, after having made
a tour of inspection of the Tintic
branch, and went to the KnutSford,
where they had lunch. A run was
made up to Ogden in the afternoon,
where the officials noted the improve
ments, inspecting in particular the
new ice house recently constructed.
They stayed about an hour in the
junction City and then returned here
and took apartments at the Knutsford.
When President Palmer walked up
to the hotel register he put his name
down as O. G. Patterson of New York,
for, as he volunteered, he did not care
to be bothered by newspaper men.
SO far as can be learned from the
most reliable source no particular
significance is attached to the visit of
the party. They are simply making a
general inspection of the line and look
ing over the new Improvements that
have been made. General Superinten-

them all the improvements made in
that direction.

HoAGLAND VS.. HoAeLAND.
Appeal Dismissed, No Undertaking
Having Been Filed.

Maggie Hoagland, appellant, VS..
Frank Hoagland; appeal dismissed in
opinion written by Justice Miner and
concurred IN by Justice Bartch. Chief
Justice Zane delivered a dissenting
opinion.
Mrs. Hoagland sued the defendant to
recover 500 a month alimony. The de-
PENDANT claimed that he got q, divorce
from the plaintiff in Colorado in 1886;
that he had married again, and the
plaintiff had no claim on him Judge
Hiles, before whom the case was tried,
found the issues for the defendant and
the plaintiff took an appeal, but filed
no undertaking on appeal, supposing
that the poverty affidavit filed by her
was sufficient.
Counsel for the defendant, however,
contended that an undertaking should
have been filed, and moved to dismiss

suEtained this view, holding that the
Purpose of sections 1016 to 1920, revised
Statutes, 1888, is to permit persons who
have meritorious causes of action or
defenseS, and who are shown to have
no property, money or means to pay
the fees required by law, to commence
or defend such actions without advanc-
ing the money. In case on appeal, the
filing of the affidavit provided for in
section 1917 relieves the necessity Of
advancing officers fees, which belong
to the state, but not the fling of an IN
dertalzing under section 3305 to REIN
burse the respondent for his costs if
successful on appeal
The court further holds that sections
iO16 to 1920, revised statutes, providing
how a poor person may prosecute or
defend an action without advancing
officers fees, do not modify or repeal
section 1906, requiring the filing of an
undertaking on appeal for respondents
benefit
The court also holds that the under
taking on appeal required by section
1905 is filed for the benefit OF the re-
spondent, ard is a right which may be
waived.
For failing to file the undertaking,
the court orders a conditional dismissal,

ditionai time 10 file same.
From this view OF the matter Chief

Handed Down Four Important
Opinions Yesterday.
THREE CASES AFFIRMED
APPEAL DISMISSED IN CASE OF

notwithstanding Point of We
nue. Decided-Damage Suit of
Kennedy VS.. Bullion-Beck Goes TO
the Jury-Federal Courts.


-Four opinions were handed down by
the supreme court yesterday. Steed VS..
Harvey, appellant, affirmed; Maggie
Hoagland, appellant, VS.. Frank Hoag
land, appeal, dismissed, with leave to
reinstate, conditionally; Summit county
VS.. Sanford Gustaveson, affirmed;
Wooley VS.. Maynes-WeIls Co.. affirmed.
In the case of Arthur a. Steed VS..
George Harvey, appellant the opinion
was written by Chief Justice Zane and
concurred in by Justices Bartch and
Miner, affirming the trial court The
point involved is the proper place of
trial Of causes in this state in which
the causes of action arose outside Of
the state. The court decided that in
such cases defendants may be sued in
any county OF this state whence they
are served with process or appear vol
unfairly
In this instance the plaintiff sued to
recover S., $50 damages for an alleged
breach OF q contract made in Idaho, to
be performed in Wyoming. The alleged
breach OF contract took place in Wyo-
ming. and the plaintiff brought his ac-
ton in Weber county, this state. The
defendant contended that the cause of
action did not arise in Weber county,
and the trial was therefore erroneous.
rms contention was based on a former
decision of the supreme court which
PEG that actions arising in the state
t1nust De brought and tried in the coun-
Nty in which the cause of action arose.
This ruling, however. did not apply in
cases arising outside of this state. In
regard to the cause at bar the court
says:
AS we have seen the constitutional
provision of Utah requiring all causes
of action to be heard in the county in
which they arise has no application to
those arising outside of the state, and
therefore beyond it's jurisdiction, this
state can have no power to require
causes of action so arising to be tried
in the county in which they arise, and
to deny the plaintiff the right to main
tain his suit for the reason that the
cause in any county of the state would
be violation of the constitution Of the
United States as we have seen it"

SHEEP LICENSE.
Ordinance Imposing It Is Declared
Invalid.


Invalid.
In the case of Summit county by
JOHN L. Boyden, clerk of said county,
APPELLANT, VS.. Sanford Gustaveson, the
opieAlon was written by Justice Miner
apd honoured in by Chief Justice Zane
AN Justice Bartch and affirmed the
Judgment of the district court.
The case involved the validity OF the
law passed by the county commission
ers of the various counties requiring
that owners of sheep shall take out a
license for pasturing and herding their
focks. The proceeding was begun by
the county of Summit bringing suit
against Gustaveson to recover 500, al
legged to be due by the defendant for
license to pasture a flock of 1000
sheep. Gustaveson, backed by other
sheepmen. refused to pay, contending
that the law was void and unconstitu-
tional. Judge Norrell in the district
court, found for the defendant and the
county appealed.
The supreme court, while affirming
the trial court. carefully refrained from
passing on the question Of the consti-
tutionality of the law, but held that
in this case the law is invalid for the
reason that the ordinance passed by
the board Of county commissioners of
Summit county was not published with
the names Of the members of the board
who voted for and against il and
that the omission invalidated the
corpoTatef act.

Suit For Pasturing Cattle.

Strawberry Cattle company filed a suit
against J. NJ Thomas, jr., and Hyrum
Argyle, asking judgment in the amount
of 81, 100 for Ct aZing cattle on the com

alleged that on Jan. 1, 1885, the defend
ants entered into a contract with plain
tiff, agreeing with plaintiff to pay 81
for every head of cattle grazed on the
plaintiffs premises. 1t is further al
legged that during the three years, 1894,
1895 and 1896, the defendants grazed
2,100 head of cattle, whereby S2,10O be-
came due the plaintiff, none of which
has been paid. Judgment for that
amount is asked, with interest at per
cent per annum.
