BACK FROM HONOLULU.
Four Salt Lakers Return to Their
Homes


-Four Salt Lakers returned from
Honolull, last night, registering a men
tai vow never TO visit the island again
unless they had lots of money to spend
and there was no plague in evidence
The pilgrims from the land of the
lotus plant were W. c. Ritter, ex-
member Of TOrrey's Horse; Charles
Ritter and Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Y. Clays.
The party left Salt Lake last Novem-
Der. ostensibly for a pleasure trip. Ar
irving at Honolulu on Dec. 6, they
found the island placed under rigid
quarantine for the bubonic plague six
days later. From that time until they
left Hawaii they had no conversation
with anyone outside, Being compelled
to see the steamers enter and leave
the harbor, but not permitted to have
any communication with the passen-
gers.
In speaking Of the plague situation,
w G.. Ritter said last night at the
White House:
The opinion is greatly divided in
regard to the matter, some maintain
ing that the disease is not the Asiatic
bubonic plague at all. in my opinion
the plague will last just as long as the
treasury holds out, and no longer. In
all there have been ninety eight cases,
the whites afflicted numbering four,
with but two Deaths but they are
keeping up a rigid quarantine, and
when we wanted to leave the island
we had to be Isolated fifteen days be-
fore the government medical officers
would give Us a passport. On arriving
at San Francisco we were only de-
| tanned twenty-fOUr hours, and then
came right on here"
In speaking of conditions in the
! Hawaiian islands, he said that he
| would advise no one to go there with
] the object IN view Of lettering their
/ circumstances, as all branches of la
1 Dor were in the hands Of japanese and
| coolies, their presence even running TO
! the big department stores in Honolulu
! AS a sample Of the expense Of living,
Ritter stated that eggs fetched cents
] apiece; butter AZ cents a pound; while
meat varied from Is to 65 cents.

fore the senate then addressed the SEN

his resolution ought to be adopted. If
it were not, il would be the first time
in history that the senate had failed
to stand by nation struggling Cor lib
erty.
1t was well understood, in his opinion,
that the present administration was
favorable to the cause Of Great Brit
ain. Even if Mr.. Hay mad no verbal
understanding with Great Britain and
the senator believed he had, so long as
Mr.. Mckinley occupied the White
House nothing would be done for the
struggling South African republics. The
reason was that the United States. he
said, was engaged in the same business
as Great Britain. While England was
robbing the BOers, we were robbing the

the pit exchanged some amusing com
pliments- Among the staunchest sup
pOrters Of the resolution were Harry
Joseph and Joe Bamberger. In oDpo-
sition James A. Pollock took the stand
that the strike at the smelter was a
matter which the members Of the ex-
change had no business to interfere
with. Joseph took issue with him on
that peint. and in the heat of the dis
cussion Pollock told Joseph there was
nothing to him. that he was all mouth

nothing" to which Joseph replied
ooh. might be as smart as you, even
if I haven't got so high a forehead. "
There were several other laughable in
stances.
The opponents of the resolution. in
their efforts to prevent the resolution
coming to vote in open exchange
tried to have the whole matter turned
over to the governing board. but fail
ing 10 carry their point, the question

ried by a vote Of IS TO II. Several
members present refused to vote either
way.

DURRANT STORY A RAW FAKE
HOW THE STORM STARTER
SWALLOWED A DREAM.
Innocence of Murderer of Two San
francisco Girls Has Not Been
Proven

A blundering fake of the Cody, Wyo.,
Enterprise which the Salt Lake Trib-
une gave credence and authority to
has been exposed. On Wednesday it
published statement from the Wyo-
ming paper that Theodore Durrant,
who was hanged for the murder of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams
in San Francisco, was innocent.
The story was founded upon
an alleged death bed confession
OF Rev. Mr.. Gibson, who was
pastor Of the church in which the muir
der occurred. It was said that Mr.. Glib
son had confessed to having committed
the murders himself
Inquiry was made last night of The
Herald correspondent at San Francisco.
He wired back that the San Francisco
papers consider the story "a raw fake,
absolutely untrue"

LOWELL ART EXHIBIT.

The Lowell school had the art ex-
hibit last night and judging from the
crowded condition Of the spacious cor
ridors, the whole pOpulace must have
thronged the building. The attendance
in the afternoon was quite large, but
bore no comparison with the attend
anee in the evening. Long before the
doors opened in the evening, the crowd
began TO assemble, and by o'clock,
the building was one solid mass Of hui
manity In addition to the exhibit by
the Prang Art company, several Of the
prominent citizens freely loaned their
finest pictures, which added greatly to
the beauty Of the collection.

HAD A PREsENTrMENT.
Strange Dream Which Dead Man Ex-
perienced.

Mr.. Heron seems to have had a pre-
sentiment of his approaching end.
When. leaving Salt Lake for his work
in Mercur he was asked how long he
would be gone this time.
oh" he said, laughing at the same
time, II don't know; I'll probably stay
this time until I'm carried home"
He made like remarks at other times
to his friends and these so worked upon
the mind Of his wife she tried hard to
dissuade him from going again to Mer-
cur, but to get less dangerous work in
Salt Lake.
Still more strange is a dream that
came to the dead man one night while
he was visiting in Salt Lake. He was
sleeping with VIII Naisbitt, his bro
ther-iH-law. In the night he sprang up
in terror and cried out: my light has
been put Quit" When he Gained down

the door.
An hour later he returned, accom-
panisd by a gray-haired veteran who
admitted that he was the long-loSt
cousin. The usual strawberry mark on
the left arm was pressed into service,
the Identification was complete, and
for the next half hour the veterans
snapped experiences and made Enutual
inquiries regarding longforgotten rel

After a warm handshake the two old
men wended their various ways. In
speaking of the occurrence, z. r. Muir

the circumstance of the accidental
meeting. but treated the whole affair
as though he met odd cousins after a
laps of half century, back in Iowa

day, after a spirited debate, adopted the
resolution reported from the insular af-
fairs committee to authorize the secre-
tary of the treasury TO designate de-
positories in Porto Rico. Cuba and the
Philippines for the deposit OF govern
ment funds. BY the terms Of the reso-
luton it applies to Cuba only so long

United States An amendment to in
clude the Philippines in this provision
as TO Cuba, offered. as was stated. to
emphasize the desire Of the opposition
not to retain the islands, was defeated
by a party vote.
A senate bill which will permit the
dependent mothers Of soldiers or sailors
OF the Spanish war, even though they
married confederate soldiers, to receive
the benefit Of the general pension law
was passed.
Mr.. Cooper, chairman of the commit
tee on insular affairs at the outset
called up the resolution to authorize
the secretary of the treasury to desig-
nate banks in Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines as government repositories.
Mr.. Jones CVa) offered an amend
ment which provided that the act
shoald apply to the Philippines and

War Is Still On.

Mr.. Brewer (Ala.) said he supported
the Jones amendment in order to en-
phasiZe in every possible way his aver
sion to the retention Of the Philippines
He said he had rather see any Repub-
! lican who opposed the retention Of the
island than a Democrat who favored
holding them. He charged that the
situation in the Philippines was per-
sistently nIdsrepresented by the war de-
partment. The inSUrrectiOn was not
over. Only last week the Fllipinos had
attacked an outpost within five miles
of Manila.
I'VE hold the territory within the
range Of our guns" wrote an officer in
a letter to him. Peace would not come

! Mr.. Cox (Tenn-) criticised the bill be-
! cause it did not require the repositories
! 20 deposit United States government
/ bonds for security Of government
( funds.
Mr.. Gaines Of Tennessee, and Mr.. De
/ Almond of Missouri opposed the bill.
| The latter said there was neither pro-
/ priety nor excuse for designating de-
| positOries in Cuba. It was another
/ straw which indicated a purpose to get
/ hold Of everything in Cuba that was
worth having.
! Mr.. Cooper in closing the debate, said
/ there was practically no money for the
/ banks in being designated as govern
/ ment repositories, because the moneys
! deposited would remain but a short
| time. There was perhaps some adver-
/ tisement in il for the banks, that was
