Mourning at Washington.


Washington, Nov. 22.-All the flags in
Washington are half-masted out Of re-
spect to the memory of Vice President
Hobart. The announcements of the vice
presidents death, while not unexpect-
ed, came as a distinct shock and east a
deep gloom over the city where he was
loved and honored. The news was first
received at the white house ten minutes
before nine o'clock in a private message
from Paterson. The flag over The cxecu-
tive mansion was Immediately hauled
down to half-mast and the doors of the
mansion closed to the public.
Proclamation by the President.
After the cabinet meeting the pres
idcnt issued the following proclama-
ton:
"By the President of the United States
Proclamation to the People ri the United
States: Carrot Augustus Hobart. vice
president of the United states. died at his
home in Paterson, n. j., at $50 o'clock this
morning. In him the nation has lost one
of its most illustrious ctizers and one Of
it's most faithful servants. Ills participa-
ton in the business life and tha lawnaking

answering fidelity and by high order of
talents and attainments, and his too brief

States and president of the senate eXhib-
tied the Hottest qualities of upright and
sagacious craftsmanship In the world Of
affairs he has few equals among his con-
temporaries. His private character was
gentle and noble. He will long be mourned
by his friends as a man Of singular purity
and attra ctiveness, whose sweetness of dis
position won all hearts, while his elevated
purposes, his unbending integrity and
whole-hearted devotion to the public good
deserved and acquired universal respect
and esteem.
I'm sorrowing testimony of the loss
which has fallen upon the country, direct
that on the day of the funeral the execu-
tive Offices of the United States shall be
closed and all stations of the army and
navy shall display the national flag at

Should Be Excluded.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Tho
Wo1lan's Christian Temperance Union
Washington has taken q hand in the
Roberts case and a mass-meeting was
held at the First Congregational
church
The president, Mrs. Clinton Smith.
was in the chair, and addresses were
made by Miss Jessie 4. AcksTman OF
Chicago and Mrs Emma De Reimer,
for ten years a missionary in CeylOn.
The latter spoke upon the right of Rep
resentative Roberts OF Utah to a seat
and said a man who is q law-braaker
should not be admitted as a member
of q body of lawmakers; declared that
Utah had never abandoned pOlygamy,
and that the practice had been suspend
ed merely in order that the territory of
Utah might be admitted into the Union.
Mrs. Sarah ID. LafeJra introduced
resolution, which was adopted, and
which stated that
The election OF Brigham II. Roberts,
po!ySamist with three wives, by the
people of Utah, to a seat in the congress
Of the United States is defiant re-
pudiation of Utah's covenant with the
United States.
THAT We, as laW-abidinS citizens,
enter our solemn protest against such
an insult to the American people, whose
power rests upon the Christian home

we, therefore, petition the Fifty
sixth congress to exercise its right in
refusing this law-breaker a seat with
the lawmakers of our United States

I sonite properties of the Uintah reserva-

! tions already made and the rush is still
on from Vernal and Uintah county
points. He gives the vein as fully fifty
feet in width and a contact vein with
a Sood showing on top of the ground.
Assays run from $3 to $4,000 to the ton.
The letter of Judge Mcconnell is
dated Jan. q, at Vern2l. and he further
! different parts Of the country, some
from Denver, others from Salt Lake,
Chicago, Mercur. Tintic, Provo, and
elsewhere. Continuing, his letter is
given verbatim:
"All parties who have been on the
ground are very enthusiastic over the
find and all who have been fortunate
enough to secure a location are push
ing DEVELOPMENT work and endeavoring
to have all their claims secured before
the expected rush comes in the spring.
Hon. LycuTgus Johnson, eX-state sena-
tor, has just returned from the camp,
and he says there can be no mistake
about its being one of the greatest
camps in the country, and as the ore
crops out on the surface the full width
of the vein, there win be little expense
attached to mining the ore and deve op-
ing the mines, as assays show it is a,
The Golden Wonder, with about twen-
ty-five locations, lies about 600 feet
south and parallel with the lode which
is causing the present excitement. and
IS forty feet between walls. This prop
erty has been located for about one year
and much development work has been
done by an association of business men
from Vernal, having one shaft on the
vein a depth of fifty-five feet, with as
says running from So to S4S, and being
a cyanide proposition, or at least so
pronounced by all who have examined
the ore.
There is plenty of timber, wood and
water and everything on and near the
ground that goes to make up a good
mining camp, some of the locations be-
ing as near as five or six miles from
Green river This letter is not written
to induce you or your friends to come
in on any excitement at this time of
the year, but is conservative and made
from statements from such men of un-
questioned standing as Messrs. MeCas-
lin and Johnson and many other good
business men of our town, who have
been on the ground. In fact, the mat
ter was suppressed as long as possible,
in order not to create a stampede dur
ing the winter, but a report of one or
two assays from the Golden Wonder got
out with those who were watching de-
velopments of this property and the
rush was made. There is five to six
inches of snow in the Blue mountains

passed under the re-enactment plan,
thus ending the strained relations on
that score that had existed for several
days between the two houses.
The friends Of the anti-g gambling bill
scored a victory in the house. The bill
was reported back faVorably from the
committee having it in charge, and,
there being no amendments and no
other course being indicated by the
house, the speaker referred it to the
engrossment committee preparatory to
it's final reading. In that shape it could
not be amended, and the enemies of the
bill, when they found how the measure
had slipped through without attracting
attention, made a fight to have the ac-
ton referring the bill for engrossment
reconsidered so they could get it be-
fore the committee of the whole and
enbarrass it with amendments. The
motion to reconsider carried, but the
motion to refer to the engrossment
committee was put and carried by a
vote of a to 81 When the bill comes
back to the house it will be on its third
reading and cannot be amended. The
fight will then be on its merits, as the
friends of the measure desire.
The appropriations committee report
ed favorably the bill providing for the
payment of the cost of mobilzing the
Idaho troops. It carries an appropria-
ton of S15.159.63.
The senate devoted the day to rou-
tine matters.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-24

a vote had been taken to call for the
records of the navy department bear
ing upon the conduct of all affected by
the advancement.
Senators German and Wellington of
Maryland, one Republican and the
other a Democrat, united in fierce at
tack upon the navy department for
favoring Sampson over Schley. while
Senators Lindsay, Pettigrew, Perkins
and Money attacked the whole system
of promotion as "a species OF favorit-
ism which was not warranted by the
facts
The method of the administration
was defended by Messrs. Hale, Chand-
Ter and Lodge. Senator Wellington was
especially Jealous in his advocacy of
the claims of Admiral Schley, and in
his presentation of reasons why Ad-
miral Sampson should not be pre-
ferred over Schley.
The charge was made that Schley had
voluntarily eft Santiago after reaching
the vicinity of that port and after Ger
vera had entered the harbOr, and also
the charge that when the Spanish fleet
sailed out through the narrow mouth of
the enamel Admiral (then COmmodOTe)
SchIey had made a reverse movement
with the Brooklyn and gone in direc-
ton opposite to that taken by the Span
ish squadron instead of boldly attack
ing the enemy in the beginning. 1t was
asserted that these facts were among
those which the archives would reveal.

fled that he had received $400 from Mil
ton ]. Green, Grants political man
ager, which had been turned over to
Assemblyman Jilson, to be used by Jill
son in his political canvass.
Assemblyman Belshaw testified that
"A AssembIyman Dale had told him that
50 coo had been offered for second choice
votes for Bulla. Dale had afterwards
practically changed this to the story
that $4,000 had been offered to win
votes from Grant. Dale was wanted as
a witness, but sent word that he was
too i'll to appear before the committee.
E. F. Preston testified that he had
been told by Police Commissioner Gunst
of San Francisco, that Dan M. Burns
had put $4,000 into the senatorial fight.
Gunst testified that he remembered the
conversation had with Preston, but had
said nothing about $4,000. He stated
that he had told Preston that Burns
had given $14000 or $15,O00 to the Repub-
Hcan campaign committee.
William Herrin, attorney for the
Southern Pacific company, testified
that the Southern Pacific company had
nothing to do with the senatorial fight.
Individual members of the company
had made personal subscriptions to the
regular campaign fund, but the COM
pany had subscribed nothing, and took
no particular interest in the campaign.
No passes had been given legislators to
influence votes for the United States
senator by himself, and he had every
reason to believe that none had been
given by the company.
Mayor Frank Mclaughlin, chairman
of the Republican state central COM
mittee, testified that he could not tell
the exact amount that Dan Burns had
subscribed to the campaign fund, but
it was a generous subscription. 1t had
been subscribed for the benefit Of the
whole ticket, and had been SO eXpe de1.
It was not used in the legislative fight
alone.
Daniel NJ. Burns was called to the
stand. He stated that he had not been
a candidate for the United States sena-
torship until the day after Christmas.
He had subscribed money to the regular
campaign fund, but had assisted no as
semblyman or senator to make his
canvass.
u. S. Grant, jr, took the stand after
Burns. He admitted having Milton j.
Green as a sort of political manager.
He had supplied Green with money, to
be expended in a legitimate way to Sc
cure the election of a Republican legis-
lature. Green had made no accounting
to him, but would do so when the cam
paign was over. He admitted having
advanced money to Speaker Wright.
The examination of witnesses goes on
tomorrow.

THE VOTE IN NEVADA.
House Seems Evenly Divided For and
Against Stewart.

Carson, New, Jan. 23.-Today's legis-
lative session developed a lively scrim-
mage over the senatorial rivalry Of
Senator Stewart and Congressman
Newlands A petition was presented in
the assembly from some citizens of
Lyon county. denouncing Stewart and
asking the assemblymen to vote for
Newlands. Speaker Allen ruled the Pc
tition out of order An appeal was
taken from the decision of the chair,
Il voting aye and IA voting no, one alb
sentee. Although this was regarded as
a test vote, Senator Stewart predicts
his election on the first ballot. New
lands supporters say that if he is not
elected, at least Stewart can never
win. The other candidates are all
hoping for a deadlock The senatorial
vote will be taken Tomorrow

LAW W-MAEERS WERE INSULTED
IDAHO HOUSE EXPUNGES A SEN
ATE RESOLUTION.
Reflected Upon the Intelligence of
the Lower Body-Friends of Anti
gambling Bill Score a Victory.
lsnecial to The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Jan. 2S.-The house today
expunged from its journal the curt re-
ply sent it Friday by the senate in con-
nection with the information that the
upper house had refused to concur in
the house resolution respecting the en-
roilment of the re-enacted laws. The
senate resolved that the house resolu-
tion, if accepted, would establish a
dangerous precedent. 1t was in viola
ton of the joint rules and would lead
to confusion and ambiguity, and al
most rretrievable misfortune to the in
terests of our state and ultimately to
attacks upon the acts of this legisla-
ture.''
Averitt of Fremont said the commu-
nication was an insult to the house,
and he moved that it be stricken from
the journal. This motion prevailed.
The house then adopted the joint re-
port of the judiciary committee, pro-
viding for the enrolment of the bills
