COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
Matters Considered at the Session
Held Last Night

Whether the Utah Power company will
succeed in obtaining the privilege of
erecting and maintaining poles in the fire
limits, midway between the telephone
poles. on which to string wires for carry
and prospective patrons, depends to
large extent on Councilman Callister
success in his contention that the power
company has forfeited its franchise for
not having erected poles at the street in
tersections for public lighting purpose by
the municipality. The matter was par
TALLY considered by the joint committees
on streets and improvements last evening
from Monday evenings conference, but II
went over till Friday evening, the 18th,
mainly on account of the absence of City
Attorney Hail.
The committee on public grounds con-
cluded to award Mary Wallen the Drivil-
eye of prospecting and mining for pre-
cious metals on the west slope OF the rage
back of Ensign peak. by the lessee paying
a royalty of 20 per cent. The applicant

but the claim is on city land. Attorney f.
e. Stephens represented the applicant be-
fore the committee. III the council adopts
the committees recommendation. the city
attorney will be directed to draw up the
lease, which will be effective for term
of years.

HAN DOR KING OF THE TURF
DEFEATED PLAUDIT- AND LOW
Erred THE RECORD.
A Glorious Race at Latonia-Clipped
a Quarter of Second From the
Record.

Cincinnati, June 9.-The mighty has
of the year. met his first defeat of the
season today in the Latonia derby, af-
ter one of the grandest contests ever
witnessed on the western turf. Han
Dor is the colt that lowered the coiors
of the Madden pride, and in doing it
he also lowered the worlds record for
mile and half. Ten thousand peo-
pie cheered Han Dor as he came down
the stretch like wild horse and look
ing every inch winner. Martin was
whipping Plaudit and riding like
demon. A hundred yards from the
wire Plaudit made a gallant effort TO
come up. but it was of no usei his
speed and endurance were gone. and
Han Dor crossed the wire a winner by
three lengths, amid great excitement
in the grand stand and LOUD cheers
from the hundreds of stable hands in
the field. No race run at Latonia ever
created more enthusiasm, and every
horseman on the track pronounced t
the grandeSt race since the days of
Tenbroeck.
The track, contrary to expectations.
was lightning fast, and all conditions
favored good time being made. The
race from a time standpoint was a
most remarkable one There were but
two starters, and little time was lost
in getting them away from the post.
The pair went away heads together,
and Han Dor at once set out TO make
his own pace The first half was COW
cred in so seconds, the six furlongs in
1:271a, mile in 1:40K. mile and an
eighth in 1854, and the mile and
quarter in 2;07H, the final time being
2:S21s. which is a quarter of second
better than any previous record.
Plaudit could never overtake Han Dor
from the start. The latter led by
three lengths until the stretch was
reached, when Plaudit tried to make
his run, but the killing pace had told
on him, and Han Dor won in handy
fashion.
Jockey Conley, who rode the winner,
was surrounded by a large crowd after
he dismounted. and carried to the
scales room on the shoulders of sew
eral enthusiastic friends.
Plaudit was always 1 to in the bet
ting, while as good as to l could be
had on Han Dor. The derby is worth
$1,000 to the winner, which is the prop
erty of George A. Singerly.
The mile and a half record is held by
Buckwa, who ran the distance at Oak
land, Dec. q last. in 2:32A but. as a g.
year-old. he carried only 103 pounds. so
that Han doris record is the better. The
best previous performance by 3-year-old
was Lamplighter's mile and a half. Aug.
g. 1892 at Monmouth Park, in 2:32%, with
100 pounds.

where he attended the annual meeting of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
which has been in session there for some
time He relates that the session was, u

given them and the results accommodated
at the meeting.

this. toe, when ma iority of the members
wanted 10 come TO this city The en-
SIneers asked Mir. Mclean on the floor
OF the convention if this city did not want
the meeting, and he was compelled TO say
that no action had been taken by the city
council nor the chamber of commerce
looking toward getting them here. He re-
4ated that The Herald had tried to aWak-
en- sentiment, but no responses were made
10 the appeal. so the Milwaukee men who
had raised 5000 for the entertainment of
the visitors. joyfUlly received the news
they had won.
This action means that $3.50 coo will be
spent IN Milwaukee next year which
might as well have been brought to this
city and left here. There are 1875 delegates

while the engineers are in session the

Perhaps some time the city will awaken
10 the fact that the way to get money is
10 spend it.
Mr.. Mclean stopped at Omaha coming

great success. He says Don Mcguire who

COINAGE OF THE GOLD.
VIII Be Necessary For the Minis to
Run Over Time.

Washington, June 9.-Secretary Gage
sent to the house a recommendation
for the appropriation of $3.50, 900 for the
payment Of the wages of workmen and
the contingent expenses at the minis
in coming gold and subsidiary silver
for the next fiscal year, together with
an elaborate statement of the gold bull
lion now in the treasury, and the needs
for it's conversion for prompt use. The
appropriation is to enable the minis to
convert a large part of the gold bullion
now on hand, as well as to coin the
current domestic deposits that will be
made. The secretary calls attention to
the s97, 100000 held in the treasury on
June l, and the apparent necessity for
it's conversion into coin at an early
date, to be applicable for disbursement
from the treasury in case it should be
required. Continuing, the secretary
SIS:
"Of the gold bullion in the treasury,
500, 100000 is held al the assay offices
at New York and at the mint at Phil
adelphia, and to reduce the stock in
reasonable time it Will be necessary to
run overtime at the Philadelphia mint
for several months. While the stock
of gold bullion on hand at San Fran
cisco at the present time is about $4,-
SOC, 000, it will be increased in July and
August by receipts from the Klondike,
most of which will be deposited in that
institution Conservative estimates
place the amount that will be received
from the Klondike during July and
August at not less than s12,00O,000 to
SIS ,O00, GOO, and it will probably be nee
essary to work the mint at San Fran
cisco overtime for two or three months.
Especially will this be necessary should
further importations of gold be made
from Australia"

village of Loon All Tieng and killed
about so OF its inhabitants. Two hun
