troops having been there about a
month. and not having yet been mus
tered out An effort will be made to
have General Shafter set a definite
time. so that the committees here may
pursue their work with that date in
view.

No canvassing was done yesterday by
the finance committee for the volun-
teerS' reception, the time being put to
advantage in collecting money already
subscribed and in correcting the totals

want the committees to use their infiu

done without great loss.
Several cases have come before the
committee of Utah men who served
with the regular army or with volun-
teer organizations from other states.
and who want to know if they are en-
titled to medals. One instance is that
of Corporal Ray F. Brandon, from Cen
terville, who enlisted with the Fourth

not too numerous, the committee states
that they will attend to them.
The committee from the W. c. T. U.
who We're to call upon the governor re-
garding a closing of the saloons on the
day of celebration, did not present their

last evening that he had no jurisdiction
in the matter. and that Mayor Clark
was the one to whom the petition should
be presented.
There will be a meeting of the deco
ration committee tomorrow morning at
} o'clock in the office of Chairman

RATE CUTTING FRICTION.
Fight Started By Vanderbilts That
May Result Seriously.
Especial to The HeraldO


New York, Aug. 5.-W. X Vanderbilt
has hurled challenge in the face of j.
Pierpont Morgan, and a battle between
these gentlemen is on. On one side is
the greatest railroad manager that the
country has ever known, and on the
other side is Americas most prominent
fnancier.
The fight began by a cut in railroad
rates which will affect travel between
Chicago and New England points. The
Vanderbilt lines cut the rates, and the
Chicago & Grand Trunk met the cut
Yesterday the Erie railroad. which is
controlled by j. Pierpont Morgan, filed
a protest, and made an appeal for ar
bitration.
But the complaint is of secondary
purport to the avowal of the policy of
the Vanderbilts to destroy all opposi-
ton to the formation of {. railroad
trust. The war thus declared will be
tremendously far-reaching in effect,
and. if continued. must sooner or later
affect every section of America

THAT AUSTRIAN DEMAND.
Such Would Be Breach of Diplomat
ic Propriety.

Washington. Aug. 5.-Regarding the
published statements accredited to the
French papers TO the effect that the
Austrian government made a demand
on Admiral Dewey to confirm or deny
his alleged statements 10 the effect that
our next war would be with Germany.
the state department officials point out
that it would be a great breach of dip
lomatic Droprieties TO communicate on
the subject with a United States naval
officer directly and outside the lawful
course.
1t would, moreover. be a matter OF
complaint should Austria have ad-
dressed Admiral Dewey on matter re-
lating entirely to Germany and the

RAIN ENDED MEET.
Columbus Races Stopped By Adverse
Weather.

Columbus. O., Aug. 5.-The post
poned races which were to have been
