Meeting of Committee.

st. Louis. May 25.-When the confer
ence of members of the Democratic ma
tional committee adjourned this after
noon at $50 o'clock, it had taken no
action regarding the policy of the party
in the coming presidential campaign,
and no plans for the platform We're
even discussed. The meeting. from first
to last. was one of discussion regard
ing methods of work of next year and
the ways and means by which this
work could best be accomplished. All
members were urged to see that the
organization of the party in their re-
spective states is perfected as soon as
possible, and all preparations made for
the fight.
The matters of ;'anti-trust.' anti
Imperialism and silver were not
touched upon. No action was taken
regarding them. and no recommends
tions were made. The next meeting OF
the conference will probably be held in
Chicago on July 20. and Chairman
Jones of the national committee has
been asked to call formal meeting for
that date 1t is expected that at this
meeting definite action will be taken,
and the question of what is to be the
rallying cry of the Democracy in the
fall of 1900 will be determined.

southbound train, on his way to Boise,
and in answer to the charges made by the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor assembly
of Butte, Mont, to the effect that four of
the Wardner miners had died since their
Imprisonment he said that, like many
other statements made by sympathiZing
orders, there is no truth in it; that not a
single prisoner had died and only one had
been seriously i'll, and the physician in
charge stated he was much improved,
having been sick of typhoid fever.
The governor stated that startling evil
dence was being given before the coro-
ner's inquest, and when made public. as it
would be, the world could then determine
whether the condition at Wardner de-
manded the strong and uncOmpromising
course now pursued

there been more of the big quickfire
guns here, our loss would have been a
great deal less. 1t is reported that
Major Young has been invited to make
a report on the practical use of artil-
lery, and it is expected that his report
will contradict almost every precon-
ceived idea as to the place of artillery
on the line. In this fighting the old
principles and tactics have been laid
aside and the boys have made methods
of fighting for themselves.

st. Louis, May 25.-"Bust the trusts,
was the warwhoop of 1000 Democrats
who sat in the 81 plate banquet given
by the jefferson club in the arena of
the big Coliseum tonight. The sentiment
raised yells of approval ana shouts of
appreciation from the 800 people who
sat in the amphitheatre and the yells
and shouts were echoed from music
hall of the exposition building, where
5000 Democrats were jammed in.
Antitrust" will be the dominant is
sue with the Democrats next year, If
today'S happenings are true index.
The banquet tonight was the culmin-
alton of conferences, meetings and eau
cuseS, held in half a dozen hotels. dur
ing the day. Twenty-three members of
the national Democratic committee held
an all-day conference, in which William
]. Bryan sat as a proxy for Committee
man Wood of South Dakota The con-
ference decided that regular meeting
of the full committee should be held at
an early date. 1t was decided to cable
Senator Jones, chairman of the COM
mittee, who is on sick leave in Europe,
to call meeting of the committee. to
be held in Chicago July 20. At that
meeting the Democratic end of the cam
paign of 1900 will be.put in motion.
No Forecast Made.
An attempt was made by McRae of
Arkansas to have the conference issue
manifesto which would serve TO indi-
cate what the committee believed the
dominant issue will De next year. but
the effort was futile. The Democratic
leaders whisper what they fear to speak
out loud, that free silver will not be the
leading campaign cry. although it will
be an important plank in the Demo-
cratic platform of 1900. The. eastern,
southeastern, central and northwestern
states Democrats believe the party will
win on the antitrust" plank.
The developments today seem to indi
cate concluSively that William ]. Bryan
will be the party nominee for president;
that the Chicago platform Will be re-
affirmed. with possible modification OF
the financial plank; that the next Dem
ocratic national convention Will adopt
three new planks:
Three New Planks.
Declaring for the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of the
people.
Declaring against trusts.
Declaring against territorial eXpan-
sion.
Such men as W. ]. Bryan, w. ].
Stone of Missouri. O. H. p. Belmont of
New York, Urey Woodson of Kentucky.
]. c.. Johnson of Kansas and John p.
Altgeld of Illinois predict that these
planks will go into the platform.
Mr.. Bryan said today that the Demo-
Gratis will reaffirm the free silver 16 to 1
plank, but he cdmitted there is a pos
sibility the antitrust issue will domin-
ate the campaign.

Lieutenant Webb's Promotion.

Lieutenant Webb's Promotion.
Lieutenant Webb is busy at present
taking his examinations for commits
sion in the regular army, and every
member of the Utah organization is
delighted to see the lieutenant secure
this appointment. As / have said be-
fore, the lieutenant has proven himself
to be a natural born soldier, and he
wisely made up his mind to adopt the
army as a life vocation. 1t is thought
that he will secure permission to come
home with the batteries and then be
attached to some organization serving
in the United States. He has been suf-
fering for a long time from dysentery
but has refused to leave his post and
go to the hospital.
The boys at Malolos, when not en-
gagged with the insurgents, are busy
building boats with which they are go
ing to start on a voyage in search OF
home. They have reached the conclu-
sion that this is the only way they will
ever be able to reach that spot again.
The health of those on the line is ex-
cellent; in fact. no organization has the
percentage of men fit for duty that
Utah has.
Looking For a Scrap.

along. Last Sunday this proved rather
expensive. as Captain Wedgewood took
a gun to help the boys out who had
walked into the insurgent pocket near
Calumpit. One gun was completely
stripped of its crew and several new
graves were made in Battery hill,
where the bodies of our dead are now
buried, while some other men went to
the hospital with serious wounds. In
fl,eh folc ha Cross have
done wonders, and a soldier is given
just as good treatment as though his
own mother were there to nurse him.
The work of the Utah batteries has
been revelation to the tacticians as
to the power of artillery. Our army
officers have awoke to the fact that the
United States army is woefully def

Gorton's miustrels billed to appear
here last Saturday night appeared
as advertised to a crowded house and nc
doubt all patrons who left the opera
house upon its conclusion were we'll
pleased with the performance. The
baud and orchestra was superb.
Joseph Gorton Tr. proved himself to be
a musician not only on brass bnt other
instruments. Edward Cooke as man
ipulator of Indian clubs cannot be sur
passed for accuracy and speed. Wonder
and Mullen, the acrobats in their double
turn are no doubt as good performers as
ever visited the coast. The solos and
quartets were rendered in a pleasing
manner as well as the whistling. All
the gags expounded by the end men
were clean cut and new.
If our city will be fortunate enough
during the coming season TO always have
as good travelling troups visit us as
Gortons' we can congratulate it.
