two years by q single senator. But
judged by what has been accomplished
by Senator J. L. Rawlins during the
late short session, he will be able to
successfully perform the arduous duties
attached to dual representation. Since
the Christmas holidays he has been the
only member of the Utah delegation in
the city, as neither ex-senator Frank
J. Cannon nor eX-RepresentatiYe Will
liam H. King returned here after their
departure for Salt Lake to take part in
the senatorial contest.
The success of Senator RaWlins has
been quite notable. He has secured the
passage of the bill for q new public
building at Salt Lake City, to cost
100000, and better yet, obtained $4,000
of the sum Immediately available. This
bill went through both houses at the
short session and received the presi-
Dental signature. Another important
action of congress was the successful
adoption of the RawlinS amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill pending
for the opening to appropriation of the
waters upon the Uintah Indian reser
walton.
The Utah claims for revenue taxes il
legally collected twenty years ago,
have been referred to the treasury de-
partment and a report upon them is
expected at the next session OF con-
gress Senator Rawlins made sturdy
fight for the appropriation Of the money
to pay these claims. He carried through
the senate an amendment to the omni-
bus bill to provide for their payment.
Failing in this, Senator RaWlins next
tried it as an amendment to the de-
ficiency bill. Here he again failed of
final success, for although he gained his
point in the senate the house failed to
concur. Then recourse was had to the
plan of referring the matter to the de-
partment for adjudication, and here
Senator Rawlins scored a victory.
There is no doubt that the treasury
department will make q favorable re-
port, upon which the proposition can
and will be advantageouSly presented
to the new congress.
RAWLINS IN THE SENATE.
Senator Rawlins has often been called
to the chair by Vice President Hobart,
and has presided with ability and ease.
He has contributed number of not
able speeches to the debates of the ses-
sion, one of the most important Of
which was made on the Nicaragua
canal bill. This speech has attained
wide circulation, and there have been
many requests for it from all parts OF
the country Among those who seemed
most interested in the senator's argu-
ments and deductions were college pro-
fessors and other students of political
economy. The speech has been fire.

SPRING VILE MANS GOOD JOKE
HELD UP FOUR MEN JUST FOR
FUN.
Was Arrested Fer Robbery, Placed
Under Bonds and Now Cannot See
Where the Joke Comes In.
Especial TO The Herald.l

Springville, Utah, March 15.-As a re
suit of an attempted practical joke last
night, Al Clark, a son of one of this
city's leading farmers, is under bonds
in the sum of $500 to appear next Mon
day morning for examination on a
charge of highway robbery. The joke
has become serious. Last night shortly
after 10 o'clock four young men, OF FL
field, Martin Diamond Marcellus Chase
and Tom Fuller, were coming along
State street, near Judge Berrier's resi-
dence, when they were stopped and
held up by a lone highwayman. They
contributed 81 in silver, after which
they were told to git" which they
did
Chase and Fuller thought they recog-
nized the man, and after getting Mar
shall Gernmell, went to Clarks resi-
dence and accused him. He at once ad-
mitted that he was the man, and said it
was all a joke, and that he intended to
return the money in the morning
Clark was arrested this morning, and
County Attorney Evans and Sheriff
Storrs were sent for this afternoon,
complaint being sworn out and Clark
was released on bonds In defense

missed him. He and two other lads
We're On the street when the wrong men
came along, and he proposed that the
joke be sprung on them. His compan-
ions then took to their heels in alarm
and he carried out his intention.
The affair created a great sensation
here, and much speculation is INDUCED
in as to the outcome. Three of the vic
tins of the hold-up are disposed to
treat the matter as a joke. The county
attorney thought it had gone so far
that some action was necessary on the
charge of highway robbery.
Clark is a married man and has one
child. While he has been considered a
wild boy, there is nothing in his past
record to indicate that ne is a vicious
character No motive for a crime OF
this nature on his part is apparent He

INSURGENTS DEMoRALIzED.
Astounded By the Vigorous Tactics
of Americans.

London, March 16.-The Daily
Graphic publishes this morning a let
ter from a British naval officer at Ma
Mia, under date of Feb. z, describing
the beginning of the fighting between
the Americans and Filipinos, which, he
says, was due to an attempt on the
part Of the latter to rush an American
outpost.
THE British officers" he continues,
were not allowed to land until the day
following the battle, and were even
then prohibited from going to the front,
but on yesterdays battlefield saw Fill
pino prisoners burying heaps of their
dead.
1T cannot for moment be doubted
that the Americans fought with gal
lantry and pluck, while the rebels, who
were armed with Mausers and Reming-
tons, maintained a stubborn defense.
Their dead bodies testify to this. 1t IS
also clear that the Filipinos were as
founded and demoralized by the Ameri-
can tactics and the vigorous pursuit the
Americans kept up throughout the day,
instead OF following, as the FiliDinos
expected, the Spanish custom of mid
day rest

Providence, R. l., March 15-The an

party of Rhode Island was held here
today. Governor Dyer of Providence
and other state officers were unani-
mously renominated.
The platform referred to the currency
question and other national issues as
follows:
The unexampled abundance of
money in all parts of the country is a
complete REPUTATION to the contention
that an easy financial condition can be
secured only by debasing the monetary
standard, a triumphant issue.
Never in history were more splendid
achievements won and grander oppor-
tundties opened at so little cost of life
and treasure as in the war with Spain.

dominant powers of the earth. Her
voice must be heard in the council of

RELEASE OF PRISONERS.
Spain Wants Permission to Treat
With Rebels.

London, March ia special from
Madrid says: Premier Silvela, in an in
terview just published, spoke in favor of
the intervention of France for the pur-
pose of obtaining permission from the
United States for Spain to resume direct
negotiations for the release of the Span
ish prisoners held by the Philippine
rebels.
Washington, March 15.-At the French
embassy 1t was said that no move has
been made to induce the United States to
permit direct negotiations by Spain with
the Philippine rebels for the release of the
Spanish prisoners. 1t is pointed out that
the term Intervention of France is
erroneous as there could be no interven-
ton under any circumstances.
All the embassy viii do is to act as the
quest that she be allowed to treat with
the rebels.
