Salt Lake about the middle of June and
went to New York. He was registered
at the Hotel Everett on June q. Three
other Salt Lakers-A. L. Jacobs, Mrs.
Elias A. Smith and Mrs. N. W. Sheets
were at the same time guests at a
neighboring hotel in the great metrop-
oils. To one of these, it is related, Mr.
I lLoomis confded his intention of going
to London on a steamship sailing on
June 20. He even went so far as to
point out the ocean greyhound on
which he took passage. The object of
his trip was said to be the purchase of
Utah Central bonds through John W.
Young, for redemption with funds in
his hands as special master, but he
begged that nothing be said about it,
because if his intentions became known,
the object of his trip would be defeated.
Since Mr.. Loomis left New York on
June % for London nothing has been
heard from him. and any clue as to
his whereabouts thereafter is not now
obtainable from any known source in
Salt Lake or New York.
Loomis was seen at Cape May by a
prominent lady of this city during the
last season. She ayers that he was
evidently having a good time, with
plenty of money and the usual follow
ing of those who have plenty of money.
She did not speak to him, although she
recognized him, having seen him sew
eral times while there.
Loomis was seen by an employee of
the Rio Grande Western in New York
City some six or seven weeks ago. AL
though the young man knew him well,
Loomis cut him dead. At the time he
was seen, Loomis was assisting a very
richly dressed woman to get into a car
riage. The Salt Laker bowed, lifted. his
hat and was about to speak to Loomis,
when the latter gave him a cold stare,
entered the vehicle and was driven
away.
According to the best information
which can be obtained, Loomis with
drew the trust funds in his hands
from the banks in small sums, anG. de-
posted them in safety deposit box
at Walkers bank. He rented one there,
as has been ascertained by Mr.. Blair,
acting under the order of the court.
Cashier Farnsworth Clerk Lake and
Mr.. Blair opened the box together.
Inside was a pasteboard box contain
ing nothing-not even a scrap of pa
per. Inasmuch as Loomis made fire.
quent visits to the bank, coming two
or three times a day. it is believed his
schemes were well planned, and that
he contemplated his acts in advance.
and acted upon them with Judgment
and deliberation.
The sum which Loomis is alleged to
have obtained from Thomas Kearns
aggregates S21,6OO which is be-
lieved to be correct. OF course. Mr..
Kearns denies it. Naturally. he does
not care for publicity. But those who
are in position to know declare this
sum is correct.

Havana, Dec. S.-Colonel Hecker. who
leaves for home tomorrow and is not to
return to Havana before Jan. 10. yester-
day signed a contract for the construction
Of a pier before Casa Blanca in Havana
harbor and for a railroad track from the
pier to Guanabcoa. The contract was
awarded to the American Indies company
of New York. which is associated in this
venture with the railroad constructing
firm of Drake. Stratton & Co.
The railroad track is to be six miles
in length and at Guanabacoa. viii connect
with the Matanzas line of railroad and by
this means form direct connection with
all the railroads leading out of Havana
Colonel Hecker today completed a series
of conferences with railroad managers as
to rates of transportation for troops and
stores. a reasonable satisfactory agree
ment was reached.
Havana now looks more like an Ameri-
can city than ever before in its existence.
Americans come by every boat. unde-
TERED by fever or by lack of quarters
which is being felt severely, officers being
quartered in all the hotels and in many
residences. The unloading OF transports
keeps an almost constant procession of
horses. mules ambulances. army wagons
ana stores passing through the streets.
Americans, even in uniform, no LONGER
attract more than passing notice. Amer
lean business men are making themselves
felt, though. as usual the saloon man is
the first to offer his goods to the public
American saloons are opening in all parts
of the city while gamblers are ready to
open games as soon as protection is af-
forded. This is something not likely to
be given, as army officers are opposed to
permitting gambling of any sort.

oDposed to Co-education.

Middletown, Conn, Dec. "A mass
meeting of undergraduate students
was held at Wesleyan university today,
to protest against the system of coed
ucation now in vogue at the college.
Several speeches were made, in which
it was maintained that the exclusion
of the women from the college would
be to the best interests of the univer-
sity. and if the policy of admitting
women is continued, it will have the
effect of greatly reducing the number
of male students. The feeling on this
point was unanimous The meeting
Will be brought to the attention Of the
faculty, who already have the matter
under consideration.

At the request of President Zelaya of

status of the proposed NicaraSUan ca
nal from the Niearaguan standpoint.
After reviewing at some length the de-
tails of the Cardenas-MenOcaI cOnces-

ferred to the Maritime Canal company,
the statement is made that the com
pany has done no construction work
whatever since the concession became
operative, and concludes as follows:
ANY claim on the part of the Mari
time Canal company to any extension
of its concession beyond Oct. 8, 1893,
would be treated as the merest ef-
frontery by the Nicaraguan govern
ment. Nicaraguans refuse to credit
the rumor that the company claims a
right to an extension. The pretension

those who represent ability, experience
and capital, a contract to construct,
