British Cousins in Activity.
LONDON, July 18.-Both the Ameri-
can and the English teams, in their
practice, are doing good work, but the
records given out are inaccurate.
Trainers prefer to understate each
performance. The Americans did ex-
tremely well at the hurdles and quar-
ter mile, and the English in the broad
jump.
The Americans are lighter and more
agile than the English athletes, and
are in fine physical condition. The
experts concede the hammer throw,
the high jump and the quarter mile to
the Americans, and the broad jump,
mile and three miles to the English.
The remaining three events are doubt
full, with the probabilities that the
Americans will take the half mile and
have a fighting chance for either of
the hurdles or the hundred yard dash.

Engineers Surveying Two Routes In
to the White River Country,
Which Is Said to Be Rich In Ag-
ricultural and Mineral Resources,
But Has No Transportation.
Especial to The Herald.)

Denver. Colo, Aug. 19.-Engineers
are out surveying two lines of railroad
into the White river country, rich in
agricultural and mineral resources, but
handicapped by lack of transportation
facilities.
The Colorado Midland has a party
making from Glenwood Springs to
Meeker and Steamboat Springs and the
Wyoming Southern is pushing rapidly
toward the Colorado state line, with
Steamboat Springs as its objective
point. The idea back of this fastening
to open up Routt county is agreed to
be that the Colorado Midland is alarm
ed at the designs OF the Rio Grande
Western in constructing a branch line
to Fort Duchesne and thence into the
Hahn's peak district, and that it has
made arrangements with the Wyoming
Southern to build from both directions
into Steamboat Springs and be in on the
ground floor if the Rio Grande West
ern's designs are carried out.
A Colorado Midland Wyoming South
ern line through northwestern Colorado
would be a third factor in the bid for
Wyoming traffic. enIering into COMPETE
ton with the Union Pacific and the
Colorado & Southern. 1t means an
othe line from Denver and Salt Lake.
A dispatch this morning from Glen
wood Springs states that President g..
w. Ristine of Midland is there awaiting
return of party OF engineers from the
White River country. Colorado Mid
land surveyors are following county
roads across White river plateau
through Garfield, Rio Blanco and Routt
counties. passing close to Trappers lake
and following the base of Williams
River mountain.
President Ristine has been out on the
survey line several times. Rio Grande
Western party following Green river
valley. 1t is stated here that Presi-
dent Ristine is at Glenwood for his
health, but his lengthy stay is con-
strued to mean an important move in
the railroad world. The midland has
its own line parallel to the Rio Grande
as far as Glenwood and between that
point and Grand Junction the Rio
Grande tracks are used jointly.

London, Aug. 19.-Though many signs
point 10 the extreme likelihood of war
between Great Britain and the Beers, and
though troops are pouring in the direction
of the Cape and the British army chiefs
are deep in problems of preparation for
possible hostiIities, the English people as
IL whole scarce heed the portentS that at
another time would raise Il whiriwind of
patriotic enthusiasm. The nation seems
completely absorbed in the Dreyfus case.
As each day passes without an answer
from the Beers to the proposition of Great
Britain for joint commission TO invesu-
gate the effect which the franchise reform
legislation would have on the Outlanders.
the probability of a pacific settlement or
the difficulty decreases. Yet, national in
terest, tired of delay flags as the ten
sion at the war and colonial offices grows.
If war comes, Gil at Britain will awake
with atremendous start.
If the Beers surrender to the British
demands, scarcely more than ripple of
interest will be excited so long as the
RenneS court-martial holds the world I'M
der the spell of its dramatic recital. From
d political point of view d Capid and sue
cesSful war against the Beers would prob
ably strengthen the hands Of the Con-
ServatiVe government more than any
other outcome of the present crisis, for
the vast preponderance of public senti-
ment already heartily endorses the course
of Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary OF state
for the colonies and should the British
soldiers meet their old enemy, the Beers,
few would remain bold enough TO openly
oppose the morality of the war.

J|M|NEz HAS BEEN RELEASED
GENERAL BROOKE DISAPPROVES
OF HIS ARREST.
Crime and His Detention Was Not
Warranted.

Havana, Aug 19.-It is asserted that
the arrest of General Juan Isidro Jimi-
nez. the aspirant to the presidency of
Santo Domingo, who was captured on
board a steamer at Cienfuegos yester-
day, just as the steamer was about
leaving that point. was not caused by
orders from Havana, but was effected
H. Wilson, governor of the department
of Matanzas and Santa Clara. Imme-
diately upon learning of the arrest.
Major General Brooke gave orders for
the release of the prisoner.
The action of General Wilson in or
dering the arrest of JimineZ causes
much comment. The present plans CT
Jiminez are unknown. Having missed
the steamer on which he had taken
passage, he will probably return to
Havana.
Commenting on the arrest, the Diario
de la Marina says the mayor and police
at Cienfuegos refused to carry out tho
orders given them for the apprehension
of Jiminez. as they claimed that TO 90
so would be to violate the law of the
country, and the arrest was made by
4 customs officer.
The Diario expresses the opinion that
the detention of JimineZ was the re-
suit of request made to the govern
ment at Washington by President FL
guero of Santo Domingo that suspected
filibusters be prevented from leaving
Cuba for Santo Domingo until after the
elections in the republic had been held.

BEST TIME FOR CONFERENCE
PROBLEM THAT METHODISTS
TRY HARD TO SOLVE.
Ten Dollar Prize For Best Tract to Be
Distributed In Utah-Services To-
day-Bishop Joyce to Speak.

The third day of the Methodist mis-
sion conference opened yesterday morn
ing at $3.50 with Penticostal service,
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Durham.
The business session opened at 9:15.
and was presided over by DR.. Joyce.
The forenoon was taken up with rou-
tine matters and the reading OF reports
from the various committees.
Dr. Brown of the Salt Lake college
addressed the mission brifiy. choosing
as his subject Christian education.
Rev. w. IT. Smith, secretary of the
Missionary society of New York, talked
for a few moments. after which dis
cussion came up regarding the best
time of the year to hold the annual
conference in Utah.
1t was the general impression that
the date should be earlier in the year
than August. 1t was thought almost
any other time of the year would be
better, as a great many members OF
the church are generally in the noun
tain during that month.
The matter was finally left to the
bishops for a decision.
The report from the committee on
church extension was most gratifying
1t showed a good increase in the COL
lections from Utah during the last year.
The matter of arranging a new tract
for the Utah mission work was brought
up. and DR.. Tiff suggested that $40 be
given to the author of a document OF
that character most suitable for use in
this state.
DR.. Joyce thought the suggestion a
good one, and stated he would contrib
ute the amount himself.
Other matters of routine were taken
up and disposed of and an adjournment
of the business meeting taken until
Monday morning.

RATIFIED TRUCE.
o. r. & N. Directors Ratify Presi-
dents Action.

New York. Aug. 19.-The Tribune
says: The directors of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company have
ratified the truce recently concluded by
E. II. Hartman, representing the in
terests of that company, and President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific Railway
company. whereby railroad construc-
ton in the Clearwater country has
been suspended for six months.
Mr. Hartman said on Tuesday that
there was, no basis for rumors that any
agreement to trackage rights or on
any other point had been arranged,
the sole agreement being that the con-
troversy between the two roads was to
be in allegiance for the next six months.
President Mellen, on the other hand,
said last night:
I'VE have done more than agree on
a truce for six months. We have even
begun to reach a basis of settlement.
We are working on plans for a settle
ment right along, and there will be no
fight in the Clearwater country. l al
ways insisted there would be none. We
would have had far less trouble had the
newspapers not made SO much Of the
trouble. which was bad enough as it
was There are many details to be
worked out, and it may be some time
before final settlement is accom-
plished.''
In answer to a question regarding
the line ne threatened to build from
Lewiston to Portland, Mr.. Mellen said,
as quoted:
Should we have had to build that
line, we would have had easy grades
most of the way, contrary to a general
impression. We would have built along
the south side of the Columbia river to
Ainsworth, there crossed our million
dollar bridge. and then built to Port
land along the north side. But that
line will never be built, because there
will be no necessity for it. At least
that is the way it appears now The
recent acquisition of the Oregon Navi-
cation by the Union Pacific facilitated
a settlement a good deal, because the
Union Pacific, being a very large cor
poration, with many diversified inter
ests, has more at stake in bringing
about q settlement"
