Superintendent John I. Caine Pre-.
scented With a Fine Umbrella.


At o'clock yesterday evening Supt.

department, was summoned 10 the
emergency works on North Temple

prised to see twenty-five Of the en-
ployes Of the department surround him.
With Storekeeper Sells as chief consp.ra-
tor, Mr.. Sells approached the superin-

States Consul Macrum explaining the
situation at Pretoria at the outbreak
Of the war, and his own conduct re-
spectlng the representation Of British
interests on the Transvaal. II appears
from these that Mr.. Macrum. like his
successor at Pretoria, Mr.. Hollis, was
placed under a technical limitation in
the exercise Of his functions by the
Boer government, and while he was
permitted TO dsburse the funds sent
him By the British government for the
comfort OF the British prisoners In Pre-
tora. he did so In the distinct stipula-
ton that he was acting unoiiiclally.
Possibly the motive OF the Boer gov
eminent In refusing to allow the Amerl-
can consul TO act officially, was q de-
sire on his part TO force the British
government into some official recogni-
ton OF the status Of South African re-
publics. II so, the effort failed, and
Mr.. Macrum and his successor, Mr..
Hollis, have gone on In their work or
mercy without molestation from the
Boer government, This object being
secured and there being little else at
present In the nature Of business touch
ing British interests In Pretoria that
requires the attention OF a representa-
tive Of that government the state de-
partment here is disposed to allow the
situation TO drift along without change
or protest because the Boer government
has not seen III 10 allow the American
consul to act In an official manner.
There Is nothing In Mr., Macrums re-
port 10 throw the faintest light upon
his inexpicable action in leaving his
post in the middle of the war.
The state department has heard in
directly from Webster Davis, assistant
secretary Of the Interior. Mr.. Davis
is now at Capetown, and his appear
ance at that place gave rise TO all sorts
Of rumors TO the effect that he was
charged with some weighty diplomatic
mission. and especially with purpose
to mediate between the bllligerents in
South Africa. As matter Of fact Mr..
Davis went to South Africa solely for
his health, selling upon the opportunity
10 pay a visit to United States Gen.
Stowe at Capetown. who is his near
relative. Unfortunately the gentleman
gave some foundation for the rumors
referred to by projecting a journey to
Pretoria in company with Mr.. Stowe,
but this trip was abandoned as soon
as II appeared that It's purpose might
be mlsconstrued

A WARRIOR IN A BAD BOX.
BeIllgerent Soldier to be Tried for a Serious
0Hense.
Made a Vicious Assault on Lieutenant
White, Commandant at Fort
Douglas, on Christmas Day.

There is one private in Troop C,
Ninth Cavalry. stationed at Fort Doug
las who finds himself in a very bad
predicament; and all on account OF his
own belligerence and breach OF disci-
pline. AS consequence he is in the
post guard house and tonight will be
taken to Fort Logan. Colorado, to UNI
dergo court martial for an offense
which, In time OF war, would have
meant the forfeiting OF his own life.
This man is William Buckner.
Buckner win be In charge Of Sergeant
Robert Bloedsoe and Corporal Lewis
Tye, who leave for Fort Logan on the
sos train. Buckner's offense was COM
mitted on Christmas day and was In
the nature Of a personal assault upon
Lieut.. White, the commanding officer
OF the post. Buckner was noisy and
demonstratlve and was ordered 10 the
guard house by Lieut.. White whereup-
on the prisoner sprang furlously upon
him and would have done him great
bodily harm, but for timely assistance.
II is expected that Buckner VIII receive
a sentence OF several years. as his guilt,
IL is claimed, is already established.

NOT RECEIVED.
Prof. Tanners Resignation Not With
Mr.. Mccormick.

When asked today II Prof. Tanner,
president Of the Agricultural College,
Logan, had rendered his resignation,
Mr. w. S. Mccormick, who is president
Of the board Of trustees OF that insti-
tuition. said that he had not received
the resignation. ''Of course Prof Tan
ner may have sent in his resignation.
but ! have not received It yet" said
Mr. Mccormick. II think likely the re-
port is true, because Prof Tanner has
been contemplating resignation for
some time"
Connected with the resignation is
some talk with reference TO the action
OF Congress In relation TO the holding
Of positions in Federal institutions by
alleged polygamists. II Is stated that
members Of the congressional appro-
priations committee have determined
TO withhold the regular Federal appro-
priation from any institution In which
there may be a polygamist holding Of
fee, by presidential appointment or
otherwise, and that not desiring TO see
the money withheld Prof. Tanner de-
termined TO resign. II the report Of the
determination Of members of the APP
preparations committee be true, say
some who claim TO know, there
will be other changes in the official per-
sonnet OF the institution.

Says Most Of the Utah Clip for
1900 Has Been Sold.
MORE THAN TWENTY CENTS.
Between Six and seven Million
Pounds, the Amount said to
be Disposed Of.

According to Mr.. r. 3. Organ, spec
ial agent Of the New York Chicago &
ST. Louis railway, better Known as the
nickel Plate" road, Utah sheepmen
VIII enjoy a most pros perous season
in 1900. When asked today as to tho
object Of his visit here, Mr.. Organ said
that It was simply to look over the field
with a view to capturing some OF he
big Utah wool shipments in the spring.
These" he said. viii be Immense,
and Utah sheepmen will get rich out
Of their business In short order II this
sort Of thing continues. From the best
Information l can get the demand for
wool will be very great this year The
product will be much lighter In Austria
la this year than usual on account O!
drouth; and there are other reasons, all
Of which will contribute to higher and
better prices All this is beneficial 10
the western States where sheep are
raised extensively. Why, am reliably
Informed that between six million aud
seven million pounds Of Utah wool has
already been contracted for al twenty
cents and better Der pound II only
takes a seconds calculations TO show
that this represents a lot OF money.
There are" continued Mr. organ,
few wool men In this part Of the field
now. They have got through here and
gone elsewhere. Most OF the western
agents are now in Mantana. BY reason
Of 30 big proportion OK The Utah clip
having been disposed Of already, the
wool will move east earlier than usual
and there will be less rivalry than
customary for the remainder, although
there is enough of the product unsold 10
make II interesting to all concerned"
Mr. Organ is something more than
railway agent He is also a business
man and politician when at home. He
ran for Congress on the Democratic
ticket in the First district in Chicago
two years ago and was defeated by his
Republican opponent, the Hon. James
r. Maun The district, however, was
Overwhelmingly Republican and Mr.
Organ Is satisfied with congratulating
himself on the strength he showed Mr.
Organ Is stopping at the Knutsford and
will remain here for some days yet

ON THE GROUNDS.
Council Committees, officials and Cit.
liens TO Meet.

Last night the Council committee on
municipal laws and streets held a short
joint meeting upon the union depot.
The committees simply went over the
petitions in an informal way In order
to Get a general idea Of the situation
and then adjourned to meet tomorrow
afternoon. That meeting will be held
right on the proposed depot site and
viii be attended by the Council COM
mittees and by railroad representa-
tIves and any citizens who may be d.
rectly concerned, The prospects are
that the committees VIII soon report
and that there will be little delay in
the Council over its disposition. That
the petitions OF the railroads will be
granted there Is no doubt, but there
may be some modification OF the re-
quests ere they are complied with.
