Utah Men We're Trying to Get a

Jermaine was sent to Michigan on

the owners of a certain mine located
IN this state, of which they were anx-
ious to renew the lease. The envoy
seems to have been successful in his
mission and acted in accordance with

Conferees Say Course Depends on Ac-
ton of Kansas City.
indianapolis. May 23.-The gold Dem
ocrats of Indiana held ian important
conference this afternoon to determine
their position in the coming national
campaign.
Leaders today say their purpose to
nominate a national gold Democratic
ticket will be influenced by the course
of the Kansas City convention. If no
concessions are made a national ticket
will be put in he field. The gold men
have assurances that free silver will
not be Endorsed by the coming Indiana
Democratic convention.
Resolutions adopted this afternoon
declare that free silver is not dead
issue and that it is every Democrats
duty to fight Bryan. OF the admins
tration the conference says:
For principles which we believe are
McKinleyism we have nothing but abb
hOrrence. The Towering of Hannaism
and spoilism in the thievery and cor
ruption recently unearthed in the Gu
ban administration make it impossible,
as it seems to US, for any Democrat TO
support Mr.. Mckinley"
It is probable a national conference
will be called later.

Washington. May 2S.-Secretary Hay
today entertained at luncheon the Boer
delegates now in Washington.
The affair was a purely personal COM
pliment extended by the secretary and
had not even q social significance. His
son. AdeIbert Hay, the present United
States consul at Pretoria. has been
treated with the greatest courtesy and
consideration by the Beers, not only
officially. but personally, and perhaps
it was a remembrance of this fact that
induced -he secretary to endeavor to
reciprocate in this way.
The party was small Besides the

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Mrs. Martell's Case Against Frank
Ruga is Dismissed

The case of assault and battery
brought against Frank Ruga by the
noted Mrs. Maggie Martell was dis
missed by Judge Timmony yesterday.
Mrs Martell failed to show up
There was only one other case before
the court, that of Moran, who is
charged by II. H. -Folger with attempt
ed burglary. Mr.. Folger told an elab-
crate story of how he caught the bur-
glar. Under the lead of Assistant
County Attorney Gunter he told of
many amusing things in an amusing
way of his capture.
The defendant on the stand declared
that he had taken his shoes off or lost
them while drunk at Fort Douglas and
had come down town in rubbers. He
said that he had wandered into the
yard of Mr.. FOlger without knowing
what he was doing.
The court permitted the assistant
county attorney to ask so many irrele-
want questions that Moran, who is an
old man, came near admitting every
thing that was asked. He did not have
an attorney.

upon the preparation of supplement-
airy creed, or an explanatory statement,
would commit the assembly to under
taking some one of the methods Of
the creedal changes without sufficient
knowledge of the mind Of the church to
warrant reasonable expectation of ap-
proval. On the other hand, he said, to
decline all action would be to ignore
condition that seems to demand atten-
ton. and which involves a widespread
misinterpretation. and, therefore, mis-
apprehension of the dOctrinal Drepara-
ton Of the church.
Therefore, he said, he recommended
with the other members of the commit
tee on bills and Overtures that the
committee be appointed. The report
was then adopted by unanimous vote.
The morning was mainly taken up
wiah a discussion of the report on for
eign missions. Rev. DR.. Charles Cuth-
bert Hall Of New York, chairman Of the
committee, read the report and re-
quested. the assembly to re-elect the
members of the foreign mission board.
He told Of the conversion Of a

generation Of the Prince of Nan in
Laos. the opening of the eyes of the

of the sOrceress ChaukOkai of Korea.

MINISTER ACTS IN PLAGUE
CHINESE REPRESENTATIVE AP-
PEALs To SURGEON GENERAL.
Says That He viii Go to State De
partment if Necessary to Protect
His Countrymen,

Washington, May 2S.-The Chinese
minister has received numerous tele-
grams from Chinese residents of san
Francisco, asking him to have revoked
the order that they shall be fnoculated
with the anti-plague serum.
The situation in San Francisco, he
said, is very grave, as the Chinese have
a great fear of this treatment, and
serious trouble may ensue if it is con-
tinued The minister commented upon
the fact that the whites are not being
treated. and expressed the opinion that
this was not fair.
The minister today received a tele-
gram frO-n the Chinese consul general
at San Francisco, which states that
after a thorough examination the state
board OF health has officially declared
that there is no plague in San Fran
cisco. The federal doctors. however
are preventing Chinese from leaving or
entering the city unless inOculated. The
few healthy Chinese who submitted to
the operation, says the telegram, at
once became very i'll, and are now in a
dying condition. All doctors, says the
consul general, agree incubation is
dangerous. There should be no cause
for surprise, the minister thought II,
under such circumstances, the ignOr-
ant Chinese think there was a cOnspir-
acy to kill them
The serum might be good for other
people, but for the Chinese it might be
8 very bad thing.
The minister has asked the surgeon
general of the Marine hospital service
to have the incubation stopped, and
a promise was made to bring the mat
ter 10 the attention of the treasury de-
pertinent If this does not secure sat
isfactory results. the Chinese minister
said he would make representations to
the state department.
