Exchange of Courtesies at Havana
Rumor of Gomez's Death Discred-
tied By Cubans-Troops Embark.

Havana, Nov. 27.-There is a report
in circulation here this evening that
word has been received of the death
of Maxine Gomez on Friday night, but
it is not credited in Cuban circles.
In accordance with yesterdays ar
rangements. General Wade, Admiral
Sampson, Colonel Clous, Captain Hart,
their aides. attaches, all in gala uni
form, and an Interpreter, called upon
General Blanco at the palace at 10
o'clock this morning to extend a formal
farewell on his resignation to the cap
tain generalship, and in anticipation
of his early departure from the island.
The Americans were met by General
Parade, president of the Spanish
evacuation commission, at the stair
case and escorted to the reception
room, where General Blanco was
awaiting them. General Wade eX-
pressed thanks for courtesies extended
to the Americans and congratulated
General Blanco upon the efficient meas
ures he had taken to maintain order
and discipline in the Spanish army.
Though the Americans had come to a
country with which they were at war,
they had no complaints to make, said
General Wade. as there had been no
cause of offense since their arrival.
General Blanco answered: 81 hafye

TREATY WILL BE SIGNED.
Judge Days Positive Statement to
This Effect.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Throughout
the peace negotiations, which are still
pending in Paris, the president has ex-
pressed confidence that a treaty, salts
factory TO the United States, would be
SR2fted and signed. From time to time,
Assurances Of substantial progress to-
pRyards that end have been received from
the American commissioners. Today
adwices were received by the president
from Mr.. Day, president OF the Aneri-
can commission, reiteraring the assur-
ance he had previously given the pres
ident Of the early and successful con-
clusion of the work of the commission.
Judge Day, it is understood, states
positively that the Spanish commission
ers formally will accept, perhaps to-
morrow, the terms of the United States
and that a treaty drawn along the
lines OF the agreement reached will be
drawn and signed in a few days.
The dispatch from Judge Day was
the first absolutely definite statement
as to the conclusion of the iabors of the
commission that has been received,
and, quite naturally, it afforded the
president and his advisers considerable
satisfaction.
1t is probable that the president viii
discuss, in his message to congress,
which viii be delivered one week to-
morrow, the successful efforts of the
administration in the negotiation of a
peace treaty, although there is a pos
sibility that the treaty itself may not
have been signed at the time.

STOCKS AT LONDON.
Better Prices and Greater Activity
Last Week.


London, Nov 27.-Prices last week
were better in all departments, and
business was more active. In view of
the absence of political developments of
a disturbing nature, it is probable that
the market will witness a general re-
vival before the end of the year.
The continued inflow of gold to the
Bank of England, with the steady in
crease in its reserve, has stimulated the
purchase Of gilt-edged securities, nota-

Americans were active, at advances
of from two to four points for the week,

A close inspection of schools and school
reports discloses some facts that are truly
startling, and we are led to wonder if the
boys of Utah are not having the same
opportunities for an education extended
to them which seem to be given to their
sisters.
The official Annual of the University
of Utah for 1898 shows an enrolment in
the fourth-year normal course of thirty
girls out of total enrolment of thirty
eight In the second years course there
are sixty-six girls in an enrolment of 1O4.
In the first years course there are lis
girls in an enrolment of 1S6.

schools of Salt Lake City, for the year
ending June 80 1897, gives the following

Another Railway Project.

The Denver News is authority for the
statement that prominent Colorado
capitalists are interesting themselves
in the building of the Cheyenne &
Northern to the Black Hills, distance
of about 200 miles. Captain T. H. Rus
sell, an old Colorado pioneer, is now in
ject. The Denver e Gulf people are in
terested, and it is said D. H. Moffat
William G. Nesbit and others will back
the enterprise.
The building of this extension would
bring the Black Hills country several
hundred miles nearer Salt Lake, and
would, of course, shorten the line to
Denver to about 400 miles, as now it is
necessary to go by way of Lincoln,
Neb., to get to the Dakota bonanza
fields

New York's Social Center Has Moved

N4NCW 1O1h 4(4SpdlClI.J
New York suffered a severe shaking
up Saturday-socially. By authorita-
tive act its social center was changed
two blocks. The arbiter of all that is
fashionable, the Social Register for
1885, was issued in the morning, and
now the social center is in Fifth ave
nue., midway between Forty-fourth and
Forty fifth streets, where two years
ago it was just below Forty-third
street. To be in the Social Register is
to be in society in its broadcast sense
a member of one of the many sets that
make up fashionable life. And New
York's social center, more exactly 537

block not given up to trade The
lower corner is Delmonico's. .Delmon-

All reports that I have examined and
all schools that I visit make the same
showing, namely, that the attendance of
girls is largely in excess of that of boys,
and that the difference increases as the
grades go higher.
The last school census, however. tells
us that there are in Salt Lake county
ninety-two more boys than girls between
the ages of and IS years.
AS usual thing. the girls begin when
schools open in September and continue
until the close. Many of the boys are
kept working on the farm for a number
of months after the opening of school and
are taken from school a few months
prior to the closing in the spring.
