John w. Hay entered the service Of
the Union Pacific in 1856 as telegraph
operator and his record in ~railroading
has been a continuous line OF promo
as operator, train dispatcher, chief
dispatcher, trainmaster and assistant
superintendent. AS train dispatcher,
he has held down tricks at every dis
trict terminal on the Wyoming divi-
sion. In July, 1889, Mr.. Hay was pro-
NOTED to the position Of chief dispatch

November, 1898, he vas advanced to
the position of assistant superintend-
ent of the middle district Of the Wyo-

The reception rendered to Mr.. J,
w. Hay, ex-assistant superintendent OF
the eastern and middle districts OF the
Wyoming division by the employees Of
the Union Pacific railroad, at Maener-
Choir hall last evening, was a grand sue
cess, and was a fair expression of the
esteem in which that gentleman is held
by the employees Of the road and the
people of Laramie.
The large hall was well filled by the
time the opening number on the pro-
gram was called, the audience beng
composed largely OF railroad men and
their families, but there was a liberal
sprinkling Of citizens Of the town not
connected with the road.
On the stage with Mr.. Hay were Mr..

THE PLOT FAILED
NEW YORK PAPER TELLS OF A
SCHEME TO ASSASSINATE
THE PRESIDENT.
Spaniards and Cubans Concoct the
Dastardly Crime, But One of the
C~onfederates Weakens and Gives
the Thing Away-An Investigation
is Being Made.

New York, July 1.-THE World
says:
A plot to assassinate President Nc
Kinley has been frustrated. 1t was
concocted by a group Of Spanish and
Cuban con%spirators who had headquar-
ters in New York.
One of the plotters weakened and
sent a warning letter to a member of
the republican national committee. The
letter was placed in the hands of Sec
rotary Charles Dick, who referred it to
Chairman 0dell, % the New York state
committee for investigation. Chair
nan Odell engaged a detective, who
speedily verified certain allegations
made in the warning letter. Thereup-
on Mr.. Odell reported to Secretary
Dick, who laid all the facts before
Chairman Mark Hanna. Mr.. Odell's
report caused great alarm among the
presidents close friends and admirers.
Mr.. Odell made it plain that he re-
garded the plot as a matter Of the ut
most seriousness and urged that ex-
IRENE precautions be taken to keep the
president out Of harms reach.
Messrs. Dick and Hanna laid the
whole matter before the president
shortly before he departed for Canton.
They instructed Mr.. Odell to continue
his investigation and cautioned him to
work with the utmost secrecy.
To a World reporter, last night, Mr..
Odell admitted that he and certain
members Of the national COMMITTEES
had discovered a plot to assassinate
the president.
Eyes, 1t is true" he said, but I re-
greet exceedingly that the matter has
become public"
He was extremely anxious that nc
reference whatever should be made
to the matter.
Special detectives are guarding thu
president In Canton.

the men under his authority. He told
how, when Ben Franklin, the printers
apprentice, had served his term of ap-
premiership, his employer had called
him up and presented a great gift, one
which would do him more real good
in life than anything else within his
power to confer-a good name. Mr..
Hay thanked the railroad men and cit
liens for their gift to him Of a good
name, and said he would cherish it
forever. Mr.. Hays response vas loud
ly cheered.
At the conclusion of the literary pro-
gram, Chairman Jameson presented
to Mr.. Hay a most beautiful solid sill
yer service Of five pieces on a silver,
glass and mahogany tray of exquisite
workmanship. On each piece was en-
graved the initials j. w. H." in old
English lettering, and on the teapot
was inscribed the words Presented to
John w. Hay by the Employees Of the
NyOLllh6 blN lolOu VI liz ShiOh NaNih'
Railroad" The gift vas a splendid
one and cost the donors $500. Mr.
Jameson's remarks were brief but ap-
propriate, and Mr.. Hays response
couched in a few brief words, brought
forth a round of enthusiastic applause
He said, This is no time to make a
speech, but my heart is right and
then briefly spoke of his successor, Mr.
| Whitney, who, he said, was a good mar
and would prove a fair and impartia,
officer.
At the conclusion Of this part Of the
exercises the people were invited tC
remain and enjoy a social dance

A NEW PRICE LIST
SCHOOL OF MINES OF THE UNI
VERSITY INCREASES IT'S
CHARGES.
Graduates of the Institution Have
Opened Assay Offices in the State
and the Board of Trustees Does Not
Want to Prevent Them Gaining a
Livelihood.

The school of mines has Deer doing
assaying for the citizens of Wyoming
for a number of years for a very nomi-
nal fee. In fact, the money received
has not paid for the material consumed
in doing the work. OF recent years
there have been a number of young
men graduating from the assay office,
and they have opened assay offices in
this state; but the competition from
the school Of mines prevents them
from gaining a livelihood. On this ac-
count the board of trustees, at their
last meeting, adopted the following
price list, which will govern future
work in the school OF mines. These
rates go into effect July l, 1900.

Mr.. Crumrine's remarks were par
ticularly Appropriate and were delivered
in an easy which won the
hearts Of his listeners. He said the
meeting and its purpose were to be
highly commended. People were too
prone to SANDER a man during his life
time, and after he was dead to cover
his coffin with flowers in an apparent
effort to make amends for their unkind
words. He said that if half the things
said of w. j. Bryan and NJ. A. Hanna
were true, they would be veritable
sc%oundrels, but pointed out that dur
ing the lifetime Of Washington, Gar
field, Lincoln and Grant, their charac-
tiers had been assailed in the same
manner, but now, since they have rass-
ed from earth, their memory is revered
by all. The present meeting was fol
the purpose of carrying out a different
principle and was a refreshing change
from the usual order. The speaker
then paid high tribute to Mr.. Hay and
spoke of the confidence and esteem in
which he was held by his superiors, by
the citizens of Laramie, and by the EN-
ployes of the Union Pacific railroad
Mr.. Crumrine's remarks were liberal
ly applauded.
MI. Hays response was brief but tC
the point and was delivered in vel,
chosen words and in a manner which
would have been highly creditable tc
one who has had more experience in
public speaking. He thanked the peo.
Pile for the expression Of their goot
will, and said that whatever of success
had attended him in his railroad career
