FIGHT WITH CATTLE THIEVES.
One of Them Killed and Proves 10
lie n Train Robber.

SALT LAKE, April ia special to the
Tribune from Thompsons, Utah, says;
Mr. Fullerton, manager OF the Webster
City Cattle Company, yesterday discov-
cred two men mutilating brands on his
cattle. They threatened to shoot and ne
retreated. With the assistance Of Sheriff
Preese and posse the thieves were over
taken seventy miles north of here and or
dered TO surrender
The thieves showed fight and were fol-
lowed six miles further north, all ex-
changing shots. one OF the outlaws being
instantly killed. The dead man answers
the description of Flat Nose George, and
investigation proves almost conclusively
that he is one of the men that robbed the
train of the Union Pacific railroad about
year ago. He has been brought to Thomp-
sons for identification. Men are now on
the way from Cheyenne to identify him.

GOVERNORS IN SESSION.
Resolutions Asking for CessiOn OF
Arid Lands to the states In Which
They Are Situated.

SALT LAKE, April 19.--Gov Lee. of
South Dakota, and Gov. Poynter arrived
today and took part in the proceedings
OF the governors of Western states, who
have met to discuss subjects of interest
to this section.
After general discussion the committee
appointed to formulate resolutions against
the leasing of public arid lands by the
general government, and demanding the
cession of such lands to the several states
should any change in the present system
be made, reported the following. which
were adopted:
Resolved, That the people of the states
here represented are opposed absolutely
to any legislation or any action of any
kind looking to, or having for its object.
the leasing of the public arid lands of the
United States by the general government
or any agency thereof.
Resolved. second. That the present
laws providing for the control, manage
ment and disposal of the public arid lands
OF the United States are best adapted to
the needs and requirements of the country
and conducive to the settlement and &C.
cupancy thereof by the bona fide settlers.
Resolved third, That il II shall be found
that the present laws affecting the arid
lands are not satisfactory TO the congress
of the United States, then we favor
cession of the said arid lands to the sew
eral states wherein they are situated under
such terms and conditions as will guar
antee the benefits of the free homestead
laws to the people OF the United States,
and that will prevent said arid lands,
either by fee simple title or by the leas-
ing thereof. from passing into the posses
sion or control OF large companies, syn
dicates. corporations or wealthy individ-
uals in large quantities to the exclusion
of others, and under such conditions that
the several states may have the income
arising from said lands to be devoted to
the reclamation and improvement there
of for settlement by bona fide citizens"
Gov Lee. OF South Dakota, was the only
one who opposed the resolution. His OPP
position was simply because he believed
that the demand for cesslon to the states
should be put first.
A form of letters TO be sent out to other
governors was adopted.

In constitutional countries like Great
Britain and the United States 1t is the
habit to give the Cabinet portfolios
which have most to do with questions
OF peace and war to civilians rather
than to men of military training. The
theory is that civilian will not rush
into war like a soldier. In point of
fact, however, the politician who looks
.or office to the masses Is more likely
to catch the war fever and take chances
about belligerency than any soldier
would. II Lord Roberts had been Sec
rotary OF State for the Colonies last
year there would have been no prema-
ture fight with the Beers and perhaps
no fight at all. The danger was in
vited and tho chances taken by a rank
civilian. Joseph Chamberlain. So In
sage. General Grant would never have
sent such challenge to England in the
then state OF the American Navy and
the coast defences. That freak OF in
sanity-none the less so because OF
british forbearance-was Cleveland's
and Cleveland was perhaps the most
arrant civilian the United States ever
had for President. America was rush
ed into the inexcusable war with Spain
by men in black frock coats. The SOL
diers and sailors kept in the back
ground while demagogues in Congress
and the victims of yellow journalism In
the streets compelled me nation to fight
spain on behalf Of the chicken thieves
and sugar mill incendiaries who called
themselves the patriots OF Cuba.

The fire at Aala, whether incendiary
or not. was probably advantageous IN
a sanitary way. Some places need
funerals to enable them to go ahead,
out Honolulu needed fires and Provi-

able. however, that private individuals
should not be encouraged to interpret

1t is hardly fair to assume that the
Beers advantages in these battles
were gained without the assistance of
capable generals, when 1t is taken into
consideration that there Is n military
axiom which places the value of an
army relatively with the ability of its
commanders. The Beers may eXag-
gerate when they assert that one OF
their soldiers is the equal in fighting
ability OF five British soldiers, but the
results of the various battles show
that they have some slight foundation
for their theory.
of the present war, now that Roberts
and Kitchener are in the field, will not

the present time the real defensive
strength OF the Transvaal Beers has

The plan of having Russian peasant

as absurd as one to have Hawaiian ma

southern reaches of the Trans-Siberian
railway, the Russian Government en-
Dloys Manchurian Chinese. One would
think the Galicians had given enough
