HOT TIME AHEAD.

The Globe Democrat says Con.
gress will be called to meet in extra
session in September. This is the
desire of the republican leaders,
which is shared by the President
Before the opening of the campaign
of 1900 the republicans are anxious
for the enactment of a currency
measure and a revision of the tariff
The House currency caucus is now
in session at Atlantic City, and is
expected to finish it's work some
time early ia the summer and to be
ready to submit some measure upon
which the republican congressman
can unite and which will prove salts
factory to the rank and file of the
party as a relief from the present
currency evils. The leaders are de-
sirous of disposing of this question
at special session rather than risk
the danger of delay in waiting for
the regular session OF congress and
the opening up of the campaign of
1900. The republican national exec.
utive committee will meet in Wash
ington City at an early day to lay
out the preliminary work for the
campaign of 1900
The democrats are active and
there is not the least doubt bat
what the national campaign will
prove a more bitter contest than has
ever taken place in this country.

His Physical Condition May Cause His With
drawaI From Politics.
Washington, D. c., April 13.-The
friends of Vice President Hobart are
becoming seriously alarmed over his
condition. 1t is no longer possible
to conceal the fact that it is quite
critical. Mr.. Hobart has led q very
active life, and has rarely INDUCED
in the luxury of vacation. He has
never known what it was 10 be Ill
before his present attack. His
friends are afraid that he is suffering
from a general collapse, and that he
can scarcely expect to take an active
part in the affairs of life again.
It is conceded that his health will
not permit him to accept the nomi-
nation for Vice President next year.
Mr. Hobart is reported this evening
as stronger, but at his residence it
is said that he will not be able to
resume work of any kind for some
months to come.

At the great dollar dinner in New
York the tenor of the speeches were
for Bryan and an antitrust fight in
1900. The rapid growth of trusts
under republican rule has given this
subject tremendous importance.
While no backward steps should be
taken on the Chicago platform, the
next democratic convention must
take decidedly advanced grounds
against trusts. The people must
coAtrel the trusts or the trusts Wi II
control the people

quired coal mines of the Pleasant VAL
ley Coal company, running a line of
railroad to the coal mines in Whitwore

twelve to fifteen miles in length, and it
is believed here will eventually be built
to some valuable elaterite, gilsonite and
other hydro-carbon properties about
five miles further to the north. and
upon which employees of the road at
Salt Lake City some time ago took an
option. With a like number of gov
eminent contractors now on the ground
this force makes some twenty-five or
thirty surveyors working in that part
of the county.
There is a compromise on foot where
by the owners and alleged owners of
the Whitmore canyon mines are to come
to an agreement, and the deeds TO 400
to 1000 acres of coal lands will pass to
the Pleasant Valley people this week at
Salt Lake City. The Halliday faction,
represented by George T. Halliday of
Salt Lake City. and who have been in
the county with r. A. Kirker in estab-
