ton. He believed that the city should
have raised more taxes last year Had
this been done the treasury would not
now be empty. 1t was his regret that
a larger levy would not be made for
the library. With the $500 of library
money now on hand and the s., 900 to be
derived from taxes would allow only
for its maintenance on lines of strictest
economy for the ensuing year, leaving
only about $1,000 available for the pur-
chase of more books. He regretted
also that no provision was made for
emergencies, a new Jail or a new fire
station for the northeast part of the
city.
AS a member of the finance commit
tee Morris declared that a mill levy
would be sufficient for all purposes if
only a desire were followed to econo-
mize continually in all expenditures.
Weller spoke from the standpoint Of
large taxpayer as well as a council
man who was anxious that the admin
istration should make creditable re-
cord. He was of the opinion that the
city could squeeze through another
year on a mill levy.
Patrick declared that he had heard
nothing to convince him that the tax
rate should be more than mills.
Howe elaborated on the main points
Callister, Robertson and Diehl for a
higher rate.
THE VOTE.
Only Diehl and Robertson voted for
the 8 mill rate and Callister, DiehI.
Howe and Robertson were the only
ones of the II members present,

til Today.
Saratoga, n. Y, July Loving to
the persistency of the strong southwest
winds, which fairly tore up the waters
on the first mile of the freshman course
during the greater part of the day, and
the failure of the officials to agree on
an insignificant detail late in the af-
ternoon concerning the freshman race,
the two races scheduled for today were
postponed until s o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The postponement of the race was
rather an advantage for the Wisconsin
boys. They are scarcely yet rested
from their tedious journey, and two
men who have been suffering from
weakening ailments are only slowly re-
covering. The work tonight was light,
but put the men in much better con-
dition for tomorrow's race.

Chairman Joe Lippman of the Silver
Republican committee was asked yes
! terday if that party intended putting a
ticket in the field in this county this
fall. His reply was not very definite,
for he said he did not know.
However, this answer on the part of
the willy Joseph is in accordance with
the campaign which is being run. 1t is
quiet affair and one where the lead
ers are keeping their plans close to
themselves. AS announced in The Her
aid some time ago, county ticket will
be placed in the field, and among the
workers who formerly identified them
selves with the Republican party a
canvass is going on with a view to
seeing how the men feel, and if they
are willing and ready to get out this
fall and make an effort to defeat the
Democrats. Something will be done
during the coming week in the way of
maturing plans and along toward the
middle of the month some announce
nients viii be made, and perhaps a
convention called

COUNTY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The convention of county delegates
for the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for superintendent Of county
schools, will be held in Murray at Il
o'clock today. There are four candi-
dates in the field, d. w. Moffat, John
Holt, Oscar Van Colt, the present in
cumbent, and Albert Spencer. The
name of William Bradford has been
mentioned in connection with this Of
flee, but he states that the same was
without his authority and consent and
he desires The Herald to say he is in
no wise a candidate.
The candidacy of Albert Spencer is
conditional. If the friends of John
Holt see he cannot be nominated, then
they will go to Spencer and make an
effort to select him as the choice of the
party. These two are in a combina-
ton against Van Colt and the fight will
be made on him. So it would seem that
the battle will be between Van Colt
and either Holt or Spencer. Van Colt
has considerable strength and is at an
advantage by being the incumbent.
AS to who will be nominated to run
against the man nominated at the
Murray convention today, no one
knows at present. There does not
seem to be any indication of a call for
a convention to select an opponent by
the opposition. no matter what that
may shape itself into. Silver-Populist-
Republican or non-Partisan. A few
idle rumors have prevailed here and
there, but no sentiment has crystailized
into anything. 3. w. Ashton would
like the place, but there is no one to
nominate him and unless he runs as,
what is known as stump candidate"
he will stand but little show for achieV-
ing any distinction for the place.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-07-02

1t is stated very authoritively that
Waldermar Van Colt will not be a
candidate to succeed himself as county
attorney, and that David B. Hampstead
will be in the field for the place. Mr..
Van Colt, so it is said, does not care
to forsake a practice which is worth
a great deal of money to him, for the
small salary paid the county attorney.
In connection with the matter of the
county attorneyship and other county
offices. the commissioners now holding
office have the duty imposed on them
of fixing salaries for their successors,
and other officials, which work must
be done 80 days before the election,
which gives them about a month yet.
The matter has been informally dis
cussed by the commissioners, but no
action has as yet been taken. Mr.. Hall,
it is understood, is in favor of paying
the maximum, declaring that the Of
ficials are entitled to this measure of
compensation and that in his judg-
ment, the people are willing they
should have it, in the light of the
services which have been rendered dur
ing the term of the present incumb-
entS.

LEONARD FOR CLERK.

In the event of the party reorganiz-
ing and doing something in the way Of
making an effort to elect a ticket, it is
asserted on the best oS authority that
Fred Leonard will be a candidate for
the position of county clerk. 1t is told
on the streets that Fred believes he
can win on a platform declaring for
the annexation of Hawaii and the
colonization of the Philippines. Mr..
Leonard is not in the city at this time
and could not be seen concerning the
affair, but the statement that he is to
be candidate came from one who has
been with him a long time and is re-
garded as one of his close friends.

THE M'KINLEY WING.

1t is learned that the Mckinley Re
publicans have recently been holding
informal gatherings for the purpose of
discussing what is best to do this fall
in the way of nominating a ticket for
the legislature and possibly for the
county offices. Nothing has as yet
materaliZed. The coming to the city
of Colonel Trumbo may have a good
effect. The colonel is a wonderful
organizer and his appearance here was
hailed with delight by all, excepting
those who want to be classed as lead
ers and cannot of course. if he remains
here to manipulate the matter. Posi-
bly, before the colonel gets through in
this city he will have taken some steps
looking toward the formation of the
reunited Republican party" and the
scattered remnants may be brought to-
gether for a struggle, even here in this
county.

only one-third of mill less than last

lected will not amount to as much as

is due to the fact that the assessed

 It is a curious coincidence that the yard number of the Alabama, 290, Is the same as the yard number of the old Alabama, built for the Confederacy in an English shipyard during the Rebel lion.
 The Alabama is the first to be launch ed of three battle-ships of her type, the other two being the Illinois and Wisconsin. She presented marked di- vergencies of design from the first three-the Oregon, Indiana and Massa- chusetts. The differences involve both the arrangement of the battery and the disposition of the armor. as we'll as a considerable increase in size and displacement. The first type had the armor arranged in water line belt and casemate amidships, with the ends forward and aft belt protected by sub merged armored decks, and their bat teries were mounted as follows: Four 13-inch guns in two turretS; eight g. inch guns in four turrets, one at each corIler of the Superstructure, and four 6-inch guns mounted at the corners of the casemate below the superstructure.
 In the Alabama the water line armor is carried clear forward. The protective deck, instead of being sub- merged as in former ships, is raised to the level of the belt by slopes at each side, the same as in protected cruisers. The eight-inch guns of the Indiana type are done away with entirely, the main battery of the Alabama type consist ing of four 13-inch guns in turrets and fourteen 6-inch rapid-firing guns, of which ten are mounted on the gun deck, eight in broadside between the turrets and two firing straight ahead forward of the fore turret on the gun deck. Four are mounted In a small redoubt on casemate deck, two on each side. The broadside 6-inch guns, instead of being mounted to pro- jecting sponsons. are mounted in reess ports in order to secure extensive train forward and abaft the beam.

NO VESSEL HAS RUN
 THE MANILA BLOCKADE
Dewey's Fleet Has Captured Several Spanish Steamships and Coast
 ing Vessels

LONDON, May 19.-The correspond ent at Manila of the Daily Telegraph telegraphs under date of Friday as fol- lows: Despite the worries of the block ade, the spirits of the Spanish officials are well maintained. The vessels of Admiral Dewey's squadron keep their positions and content themselves with preventing all supplies from reaching the beleaguered city.
 In addition to the Callao, the Amer jeans have taken some steamers which were making for the port and several coasting vessels. Nothing has yet suc- ceeded in running the blockade. Ad- miral Dewey is credited with a desire to capture Spanish steamers, as his launches have been scouting around the coast.
 The rebel forces have not yet sum- moned up courage to attack the city, They are in condition to do so, but they ravage the country outside. The for eign residents believe that if the city fell into the hands of the rebels it would be deplorable. The Governor is creating a loyal native legion to assist in coping with rebel attacks. while the Spanish regular troops are reserved to meet any American forces that may be landed.
