delegates in favor of instructions.
Brooklyn Gives In,
Brooklyn, which has held out against
instructions and which, through its
representatives in congress, has declar
ed for sound money capitulated when
a review of the situation showed the
futility of further resistance.
It was said last night that David B.
Hill, who had formed elaborate plans
to prevent the national delegates from
being pledged, had had a talk with
Hugh Mclaughlin, in which Mr. Nc
Laughlin informed him that Kings
county could not help him.
Mr.. Hill drove away from the Hoff-
man house alone early in the afternoon
and was absent until dinner time. Up
on his return he was asked whether he
had seen Mr.. Mclaughlin and he re-
fused to say.
In Brooklyn the statement was made
unequivocalIy by machine leaders that
the Democrats of that borough would
iein Tammany in VOTING for instruc-
lions for Mr.. Bryan. They pointed out
that a fght would certainly end in de-
feat and that Kings county could not
afford to antaeonize Tammany unless
for GOOD cause because of the control

UTAH BEATS ALL RECORDS
IN SELLING STATE BONDS
Reminding Issue Of 100000 at ga Per Cent In
teTeSt FlOated at Par.
Lawful Money Kind-tO Run For Twenty YearS-IntereSt
Saved Will Be $50 500 in Ten Years.

Ctah's financial standing in the
money world is rated so high that the
state board of lean commissioners was
successful yesterday afternoon in sell
ing the states new issue of bonds
drawing the low rate of ga per cent.
Utah has broken the record. Never
before has any state west of the Mis-
sissippi noated an issue of bonds draw
ing less than 31z per cent annual inter
est, and this feat was accomplished by
the youngest state in the Union two
years ago.
Yesterday at o'clock vas the time
set for receiving sealed bids for the
states lawful money issue Of 100000
twenty-year bonds to refund the old
series of per cent sold in 1890 and
now optional for redemption. The
notice to bidders stated that the new
issue would draw per cent interest.
When no proposals were received the
loan commissioners. consisting of Gov
ernOr Wells, Secretary of State Ham

hope soon shot across their minds.

instead of the 3 per cent kind which
the loan board wanted to float.

would be the floating Of 81 per cent

Vigilance Committee Formed.
Acommittee of south St Louisans
appointed to represent a mass meeting

Outlaws Identified.
Sheriff Preece telephoned a descrip-
ton of the men, which tallies with that
of the men sighted near the * ranch.
One of the horses, the sheriff states, is
the one he rode out of Vernal. How he
fell into the hands of the outlaws he
did not state, but it is supposed Sheriff
Tyler must have exchanged horses with
Preece and the outlaws took possession
of the murdered mems horses after the
shooting. The three men seen near the
k ranch were riding TWO bay horses
and one gray and were leading buck
skin pack horse, all fine animals. The
men were armed with the latest i'm
proved guns and were prepared to
make a desperate resistance.
Sheriff Preece described one of the
men as being tall and dark, which is
the description given Of one of the
men seen near the k ranch.
Mayor Davis has received several
messages from Governor Wells, stating
that posses are organizing in Wyoming
and Colorado, and asking that the poss4
from here cooperate with them. The
governor has sent assurance that the

by the citizens themselves.

were striving to intercept Deputy
Sheriff TOlliver has been working I'M
der a great disadvantage and almost in
the dark. as no particulars Of the kill
ing or description Of the men or horS IS
has been obtained till today.
LycuIgiS johnson arrived last night
from the White river country and con-
firms the account of the three men
passing through. Sheriff Preece states
in his description OF the men that they
are strangers. If this be true, they
will be at a great disadvantage in the
rugged country through which they
must pass. on the other hand, Deputy
Sheriff TOlliveT knows every foot OF
country over which they must travel
& every rail- in tEe notorious Brown
park and Powder Springs country.
Description of Outlaws.
Sheriff Preece gives the following de-
scription Of the three men: One very
large. dark compleXioned man, two
weeks growth Of dark beard; one of
medium height and stout; one light
built, light cOmplexioned, few weeks
growth of beard. The tall man was
evidently the leader of the gang.

New York, May 31.-The Herald says:
William J. Bryan will be practically

of calling in the old series and engraY-

The loan commissioners and Mr..
Reynolds viii meet this afternoon at 2
o'clock t. sign the contract.
Booklets combining all desired data
of the states offer of bonds were sent
broadcast throughout the eastern
money centers, and because OF this the
commissioners have the assurance that
this vas the most widely advertised
bond sale this year. Letters from
scores of bond buying concerns an
n0unte ed that Utah could not hOpA to
sell bonds drawing as low rate of
interest as 8 per cent. but the assur
ance was given that a form bearing 312
per cent could be sold to investors who
prefer this class of securities.
Loan Board Is Gratifed.
Naturally the state loan commission
ers are highly elated over their success
in floating bonds which will draw a
lower rate of interest than any coast,
western or mountain state is paying,
The money saved to the state by rea-
son of the new rate of interest during
the pariod of the next ten years, which
would be the remainder of the life Of
the Old bonds, viii be So, 800.
When it is considered that the buy
ers agree to bear the expense of float
ing the bonds, the concession amounts
to a premium of 500 on Utah's record
breaking bond sale. Georgia is the only
state that has been known recently TO
float an issue of bonds bearing as low
as 8 per cent, but this bond issue was
sold at a heavy discount and is now
on the market at several points below
par. The Utah statutes forbid any
issue OF state bonds being sold Tor less
than par.
