Straight Democrat.

Straight Democrat,
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 9.-Utahs third
legislature convened at noon to-day and
effected organization the nominees of the
democratic caucus being elected as Off
GERS of each house. The governors mes
sage will be transmitted tomorrow Next
Tuesday the legislature will take the first
ballot for the election of United States
senator to succeed Frank J. Cannon. The
legislature is composed of Al democrats,
16 republicans and six silver fusionists,
and Senator Cannon's successor will
therefore be straight democrat. There
are four avowed candidates at present
A. w. Mcclure, Congressman King, Sena-
tor Cannon and o. w. Powers. The
strength of the latter is not sufficient to
entitle them to a conspicuous place in the
contest, it being generally conceded that
the fight lies between McCune and King.
Neither of these claim more than 20 votes
at the outset and it will require 80 to
elect AS the contest has become some
what bitter and personal there are pre-
dictions of a deadlock and dark horse.
A. w. McCune is a millionaire mine own

KEck NOT GUILTY.
The United States Supreme Court Passes
On a Smuggling Case.

VA % i'iiuSEiAhS Ssses
Washington, Jan. 9.-The United
states supreme court, through Justice
White, to-day rendered an opinion in
the case of Herman Keck charged with
smuggling diamonds into the United
States, holding that he was not guilty
as charged, and thus reversing the YER
dict of the United States district court
for the eastern district of Pennsylvania
This case involved the construction Of
!, the word smuggling and of para
graph 467 of the Wilson tariff act,
under which it was claimed it was in /
tended to make diamonds free because
a semicolon follows the word 'dia-
monds' in this paragraph. The court
held on this latter point that it was
merely an error of punctuation and
that diamonds were dutiable under par.
agraph 1888 of the Wilson act, imposing
a duty on precious stones generally.
The court gave it's principal attention
to the charge of smuggling holding
that 1T was not applicable because the
goods in question were not landed, and
that therefore the act was not complet-
ed. The diamonds which were alleged
to have been smuggled, We're brought
to the United States by the captain Of
the steamer Rhinelander at the request
of Keck, who appears to have met the
captain in Antwerp previous to sailing
and to have requested him to bring
over package, the contents Of which
he did not mention and forward it
upon his arrival to a person in Cincin-
natl, whose name Keck gave him.. His
package proved to contain diamonds,
and when the Rhinelander reached the
harbor al, Philadelphia, the customs in
spectors, who had been notified of the
probable arrival of the package, board
ed the vessel and made a demand upon
the captain for it. He promptly turned
it over and 1t was confiscated and Kec1
placed under arrest under the double
charge of smuggling and illegally i'm
porting the diamonds. In the district
court for the eastern district Of Penn
sylvania, he was found guilty. The eff
feet of Justice Whites decision was to
reverse the decision of the district court
and remand the case.
In passing upon the charge Of snug
Cling, Justice White said the common
law meaning of the word still attached
to it since it's incorporation into the
statutes of the United States and the
definition of the work under the com
mon law embraced the taking of goods
through the lines of the custom house.
He concluded that in this instance the
attempt at smuggling was not COM
pleted and said that it was clear that
an act could not be criminal if some
thing essential remains to render it
complete.
Four of the members of the court,
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Har-
Ian, Brewer and Brown dissented, and
Justice Brown delivered minority
opinion, defining the word smuggling
as meaning an attempt to clandestinely
introduce merchandise into the country
and holding that Keck was guilty under
this construction. He said that the
definition which the court had given the
word namely, that it referred espec-
tally to the unloading of goods, had
never found Judgment in law diction-
airy of accepted authority nor in ad-
Indicated cases.

valueless. The three engines, which
We're among the finest used by the
road are practically scrap iron. A new
track was built around the wreck and
traffic was delayed only, a few hours.
Trainmen at the wreck do not attempt
to account for the accident and the Of
hcials at headquarters here profess to
be equally ignorant. The only solu-
ton they offer is that possibly the en-
gineer of the west bound train may
have fallen asleep at his post. Ali the
employees involved are among the old
est and most trusted in the operating
department of the road.

ENGLAND OUR FRIEND.
British and Americans Acting Hand-in-
Hand in Samoa.

Washington, April 1.-While public
regret is expressed officially by mem
bers of the administration at the occur
renee in Samoa, there seems to be an
undercunent of opinion among out
siders that this regret is feigned rather
than real. There can be no doubt but
the administration has taken every
possible course to secure a more
friendly and intimate relation with
England; and if the two nations can
be bound together in the Samoan
affairs, as they are now acting to-
gether, other difficulties might be set
aside. The better feeling that existed
during and has continued since the
Spanish war between England and
America is fostered by some officials
even to the extent of surrendering
some of our just rights in the disputes
with Canada. There may be disposi-
tion to bring Germany up rather short,
as that is popular with the people. The
prominence which Germany assumed
at Manila, and her evident disposition
to prevent the introduction of any kind
of American products in the empire
has caused feeling to grow up among
the people against Germany. What
few years ago was gratifying to the
American people, "Twisting the lions
tall" can be supplanted by batting the
Germans where opportunity offers.

Havana, April 1.-Governor-Gen-

mind to send the $4,000. 900 back to
the United States, if the Cuban mill
tary assembly does not give up the
army rolls.
"You may as we'll do so and not
trife much longer" said Secretary
Alger, when discussing the matter two
days ago in conference with General
Brooke and General Gomez. The lat
ter said that such course would serve
the assembly right.
Anyway the impression is spreading
that the governor-gneeral may return
the money to Washington, and it ls
stirring up fresh feeling against the
assembly.
