GLOOM OF
Hung in Great Chunks Around Head
quarters


There was d scene Of deep, dark,
denk sorrow about the Republican
state committee rooms last night Ear
" in the evening the engineers of the
campaign saw that they were defeated,
and they held funeral services with
great gobs Of gloom hanging W. them.
Mr.. Hammond, the late candidate for
congress. sat at n Of the big tables
in an inne- room, and held the tele-
phone a~nxiously.
He wouldn't let anybody else get
near it. Opposite him sat Wesley K.
Walton, chairman of the state commit
tee of the late Republican party, acting
as high priest OF the ~obSequies, Sur
rounding them were Farley Christen-
sen, Judge Miner of the supreme bench,
United States Attorney Whittemore
and other mourners and pall-bearers.
At half-past 10 neither Mr.. Walton
nor Mr.. Hammond would admit defeat.
They looked It, but they would not con-
cede.
Deepening of the Gloom.
But as the night wore on, and mes
senger boys and telephone calls chased
each other into the Office, the gloom
~deepened, and finally when word came
from the Tribune that the city, county

don't know" said he. "They were
Indifferent TO the election, and many of
them did not see the importance Of it.
L don't know to what extent the silver
question or other national issues af-
fected the election. This is not an in
dication that Mr.. Bryan viii carry the
state in November"
Nor could Mr.. Hammond explain the
matter any more clearly. He would not
venture to say how far national issues
cut a figure in the election.
Il have not had time as yet to look
owe the returns and to find out what
the causes of the defeat We're" said he.
The only explanation which Chairman
Eichnor of the Republican county COM
mittee offers for the defeat OF Mr..
Hammond in Salt Lake county, is the
fact that the Republicans did not get
their vote out He would not say to
what extent national issues or local
matters Influenced the result. He was,
however, jubilant over the fact that
the Republicans will gain re registra-
ton Office and judges Of election in
from twenty 10 twenty-five voting dis
tricts.

CAUCUS OF SENATOR S
Appointment of a Steering Committee
Authorized.
Hawaii and Porto Rico to BE Given

The republican senatorial caucus this
steering committee of seven senators to
arrange a program of business for the Sem
ate.
The Quay case was not discussed in the
caucus, butathere is a general understand
ing that Hawaii and Porto Rico are to be
given the right of way after the vote on the
financial bill.
If the Quay case receives any considera-
tion at any time pending the disposition of
probably be only through some senator
making d speech on it. Such speeches
might be made from time to time as oppor-
tunity might occur without the case being
before the Senate for action. That it will
be regularly taken up and made the regular
order of business in the Senate at an
early day is not probable.
The decision of the caucus to appoint a
steering committee was based on represen-
t%uons as to the Importance of pending
measures and the desirabilty of prompt
action and avoidance of conflict as to con-
Slderatfon. 1t was urged that prompt action
on Hawaii and Porto Rico was important
and other matters We're suggested as being
urgent. but there was TO suggestion that
the consideration of the Quay case be-
longed in tie class with these pressing mat
tiers.
A report on the subject of the distribu-
tlOn of patronage was submitted and read,
but there was not sufficient time for for
NAL action upon it. The proposition con-

SANTA BARBARA, Cal. February IA
In response to a telegram from W. II.
Hearst to Mayor StaTke suggesting the
danger that Santa Barbara would be open
to attack in war if the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty be ratified and the Nicaragua canal
built under its provisions. and asking an
expression Of sentiment of the people,

several addresses were made indorsing the
treaty and the policy of the administration.
and resolutions were adopted in favor of
construction of the Nicaragua canal and
urging our congressional representatives 10
aid in bringing about its speedy completion.
SAN DIEGO, Cal. February 1.-THE
chamber of commerce has adopted a reso-
luton requesting the representatives of Cal
ifornla in Congress TO in every way urge
the immediate passage OF the Nicara qua
canal blll as amended TO provide for the
control rather than sovereignty, and that
they do not insist upon fortifying the canal
approaches. which in our opinion Is un-
necessary, and If insisted upon would prob
ably result IN DETECTING legislation during
the present session of Congress-"

CONDITIONS IN VERMONT.
Witnesses Testify Before the Indus
trial Commission.

The industrial commission today heard
Victor l. Spear. secretary of the state
board Of agriculture of Vermont, in re-
gard to agricultural conditions in that
state and H. W. Vail Of the same state gave
his views of the dairy interests there Both
advocated the enactment of laws for the
better protection Of manufacturers of pure
butter and pure maple sugar.
Mr.. Spear said the condition Of the farm
ers had been greatly improved in recent
years, owing to modern machinery, good
roads and the telephone system, which
permits a freer exchange of thought be-
tween them. He thought the prospects
for an improvement in the sheep industry
were bright. AT one time there We're sheep
on almost every farm, he said but under
free trade the industry declined. Now, un-
der what he regarded as better laws, the
raising of sheep was again becoming an i'm
portant feature.
At the afternoon session Mr. Hamilton
Carhartt of Detroit, a manufacturer of
clothing, addressed the commission on the
subjects of the relation of employer and
employees. He described his experiences
during eight years in employing only or
ganiZed labor and his competition with
sweat shop goods. The output of organ
lied labor was higher priced than the other
kind, but he believed the people preferred
to have goods manufactured by well-paid
labor. He advocated a law forbidding the
competition of cheap penitentiary and re-
fcrmatory manufactured goods With the
output Of organized labor.

LIQIOR on THE TROOPSHIPS.
Charges by Chaplain Wells of the
1st Tennessee,

The hearing on the subject of the army
'canteen' before the House committee on
military affairs today brought out a state
ment from Capt Frank NJ. Wells, late
chaplain of the 1st Tennessee Regiment, as
to the prevalence of drunkenness on army
transports and in the Philippines, and a
vigorous protest from Representative Cox
of Tennessee against reflections on certain
officers Of the Tennessee regiment.
Mr.. Wells repeated his statements which
of liquor on the transports Zeelandia and
Indiana. With much detail he related in
stances of alleged drunkenness at Manila
Iloilo and Cebu, as well as on the ships
When he referred by name to an officer
alleged to have been drunk, Mr. Cox inter-
posed an emphatic protest, saying that he
would not hear this officer malgined.
Something of a sensation was caused by
the statement and the protest but the COM
mittee determined to avoid personal dis
closures by not allowing specific names to
be used
Mr.. Wells proceeded with his statement,
Omitting names. and related many in
stances of alleged immortality. He also
stated that at the request of the Secretary
with the War Department concerning
these alleged acts.
Representatives of the W. C. T. L. and
other organizations also were heard as to
congressional enactment making more
clear the present law abolishng the army
canteen. The committee did not take final
action on the subject.

CONSIDERING BARTLETT TRIP.
Regarded as Likely That He Will Be
AppOinted u PhiItppine Com m 81 iOne er

Among the names of other persons favor
ably considered by the President for ap-
pontment one Of the Philippine commits
sioners is Bartlett Trip of North Dakota,
and there Is reason to believe that unless
geographical considerations interfere Mr..
Trip will be one of the new commission.
He was formerly United States minister
to Vienna. When President Mckinley
cast about for a suitable person to repre-
sent the United States Oh the Samoan COM
mission Mr.. Tripp, although a democrat,
was found to be the best equipped person
for the place. He discharged the delicate
duties connected with that office to the
entire satisfaction of the administration.
Incidentally, the fact is pointed out that
the English and Germans connected with
the Samoan negotiations have been re-
warded by their respective governments
for their endeavors, -and the appointment
of Mr.. Tripp as Philippine commissioner
might be regarded a similar manifesto
ton of appreciation by our government.

HIS CLOTHES LINED WITH MONEY
Curious Case of Sam Beswick, a Noted
Chicago Character.

CHICAGO, February 14-The death on
Sunday Of Sam Beswick. an old and we'll
known character on the open board Of
trade was followed by queer discovery
on the part Of the hospital authorities,
at the Baptist Hospital, where Bes-
wick was a charity patient. His old
and tattered clothing was found liter
ally lined with gold and silver certificates.
and sewed behind an inner vest pocket
fifteen 500 bills were found. Among the
bills was a slip of paper on which was
scribbled: Put in in 1896" Currency
amounting to s20:,5 was found hidden away
in the Innings of his coat and vest. Bonds
and real estate mortgages thought TO be
worth about 5000 were discovered sewed
inside a leather pocket book that was
stitched to the lining of his coat. A long
narrow leather purse containing about 500
in gold and silver was ripped out of his
coat collar. The money had been in there
so long that the silver had become tarnished
and the friction of the coins had worn the
gold ones almost smooth. Then at various
places in the lining and in the corners of
the coat single pieces of money were found
hidden away.
Beswick was about sixty years old He
went to the hospital three weeks. ago suf-
fering from stomach troubles. He was op-
Grated on last Wednesday, but on account
of his age he failed to survive the shock.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
A Talk Upon the Need Of Legislation for
Alaska.
New Laws Should Bear Properly UpOn
Cape Nome - T0day.s
Callers.

Representative Jones and w. ]. Milroy
of Washington talked with President Nc
Kinley today about Alaska and her needs
Mr. Milroy is for the present an attorney
at Cape Nome, in American territory. 1t
is estimated that thousands of miners will
go there this summer. Already every
available vessel on the Pacific coast has
been chartered for trips to Alaska the
bulk of them being destined for Cape
Nome. 1t is felt on all sides-there being
many miners in the city from Alaska-that
Congress should pass measures changing
the existing laws of the territory. 1t is
important that the new laws should .bear
properly upon Cape Nome, as the tangle
over mining matters there is serious. Old
miners say that Cape Nome will prove to
be the richest gold country in the world.
Nuggets are found on the ocean beach, and
many men have become rich mining in the
sands of the beach.
Mr.. Mlroy went to Cape Nome without
money. and, although he is a lawyer,
worked as a carpenter at SIS a day until he
made a stake" With this small beginning
he and his brother became wealthy.
A Tennessee WOman's Ambition.
Representatives Richardson and Gibson
of Tennessee called on the President this
morning to present Miss Mary Temple of
Knoxville as suitable person to represent
this country at the Paris exposition under
the resolution recently introduced by Sem
ator Depew. and passed by Congress. Miss
Temple is the vice president OF the Amer
lean Federation of Woman's Clubs and is
foremost in Tennessee social affairs.
The President said that the position re-
ferred to had been filled by the selection
of Mrs. Daniel Manning, but if he had
similar opening at some other time he
would be glad to consider Miss Temples
name.
Senator Clay and Representative Griggs
OF Georgia, accompanied by Mayor
Brown of Albany, Ga, extended the Presi-
dent an invitation to visit the Georgia Chau-
tauqua when it assemblies at Albany, on
April %. While the President took the in
vitation under consideration 1t Is not likely
that he will be able to go.
In Major Kenyon's Behalf.
Senators Perkins of California and De-
pew of New York requested the appoint
ment Of Major Kenyon of California as
paymaster in the navy. There is no va
cancy now, but the President is favorably
disposed to Major Kenyon and will prob
ably take care Of him later. Major Ken
yon was an additional paymaster of volun-
teers in the Spanish-American war.
Senator Shoup presented Bishop Clawson
and Geo. H. Smith of Utah to the Presi-
dent. Senator Shoup does many things for
Utah republicans, who are not represented
in Senate or House. The senator has asked
for the appointment of DR.. Watkins Of
Idaho a visitor to the Naval Academy.
Senator SpoOner was at the White House
with Attorney General Hicks of Wisconsin.
Senator Burrows and his brother, Judge
Burrows of Ohio, also saw the President.

TRADE WITH TRINIDAD.
British Ambassador and Mr.. kassOn
Sign Reciprocity Treaty.

The British ambassador and Mr.. Kasson,
special reciprocity commissioner. have sign
ed reciprocity treaty regulating trade be-
tween the Island of Trinidad, w. l., and
the United States. By the terms of this
treaty the United States secures the ad-
mission into Trinidad free of duty of a
number of agricultural products and a con-
siderable abatement of the duties on inn
portant articles of manufacture. In return.
Trinidad secures the reduction on sugar i'm
ported into the United States, permitted by
section of the Dingley tariff, and a SUBJ
stantial reduction of duty on asphalt, an
important article Of export from Trinidad
Although the exports of fruits from Trini-
dad to the United States are insignificant
in amount, Mr.. KassOn has thought it well
to preserve duty on oranges in order to
escape possible criticism by the elements
that are attacking the Jamaica treaty.
Therefore, it is believed, the present treaty
is not calculated to arouse serious opposi-

showed up in all directions and street car
lines blocked up and telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down, delaying communi-

great number of accidents due to falling
chimneys and roof states, and from similar
causes. Mail vans and people travelling by
foot in country districts are reported missing
and several persons have been found frozen
to death in exposed places.
The streets of London are in a fearful con-

horses have suffered greatly, many having
to be shot after breaking their legs. Severe
gales have swept the coasts.

Admiral WatsOn's Designation of the

Secretary Long denies that Admiral Wat

of having refused to allow Capt. Thomas
to take the command Of the Brooklyn, to
which he had been assigned by the Navy
Department. He says the admiral, as COM
mander of the station, was exercising the
power conferred upon him by the depart
ment in detailing Capt. Forsyth to COM
mand the Brooklyn instead of Capt
Thomas.
Capt Forsyth commanded the Baltimore
while she was Admiral Watson's flagship,
and up to the time the Brooklyn arrived on
the station. 1t Is supposed the admiral
preferred to avoid a change in his official
family. and therefore took Capt Forsyth
with him when he transferred his flag from

The bill authorizes proceedings in the
United States courts in cases of assaults
upon aliens.
The bill was afterward reported to the
