CITY STEALS A MARCH.
Lamson outwitted Again in Location
of Water Right.

of Water Right.
The municipal authorities stole an
other march Tuesday on Allan G. Lam
sons water appropriating plans in Jor-
dan Narrows adverse to the citys in
terests, by locating the right to in
crease the available supply Of water
from Utah lake. The notice Of appTO-
priation antedates by a day fling Of
Similar purport by Mr.. LamsOn for the
Salt Lake City Water &. Electrical
Power company, but both notices were
filed for record yesterday afternoon.
Following up its appropriation of
the right to raise, for reservoir pur-
poses, the level OF Utah lake five feet
above compromise point. where the
water was in 1884, the city has located
the additional right to take and use all
the inappropriate, surplus waters of
Utah lake and Jordan river by dredging
the river bed and Strengthening the
channel to cover $50, 600 acre-feet with
a fiowage of 400 cubic feet per second.
The right to acquire this privilege of
reservOiring the water, it is stated in
the notice Of appropriation, shall com
mence at the old dam where the East
Jordan canal DIVORCES and runs up to-
ward the lake.
The water drawn off is calculated 10
/ lower the lake level a foot and q half
below compromise point, and the pur-
poses to which it is intended to put
the increased flow are stated to be for
| irrigation uses, thus facilitating and
efectuating the proposed exchange OF
city canal water for canyon water
rights owned by the Big Cottonwood
farmers and conducting the exchanged
water to this city for necessary pub
| lie uses.

NO FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.
Troops Will Be Ordered to Frankfort
Only as Last Resort.

Washington. Jan. 31.-Seeretery Root
IS authority for the statement that
there is nothing in the situation in
Kentucky calling for federal interior
ence. He is credited with the remark
that the state authorities are amply
able to deal with the situation and not
likely to call on the general govern
ment for assistance. Federal troops
viii be ordered to Kentucky only as a
last resort and only then upon repre-
sentatiOn of the state authorities that
they have exhausted all their resources
and were poWerless to deal with the
situation.
General 8IArftt commanding the de-
partment Of the east and Gen6Tal
Brooks, lately governor general of
Cuba were at the war department to-
day but their visit was a mere COIN
cidence and there is the best authority
for the statement that their presence
in the city has no reference whatever
to the possibility of the use Of federal
troops in the settlement of the troubles
in Kentucky.

FAEORS POPULAR VOTE.
How Governor Wells Would Elect
United States Senator's.

The New York Herald Of recent date
has a symposium of opinions from gov
errors of the various states Of che union
on the advisabiiity Of eIecting senators by
direct vote of the people Governor Wells
wired his view as follows:
I think the sentiment OF the people Of
Utah is Overwhelmingly Ia favor of elect
ing United states senators by popular
vote. The legislature of 1897 n9eY1orf5 lied

submitted authorizing this change in the
manner Of choosing senators. The failure
OF me legislature OF 1889 TO elect a senator

VICTORY FOR HEINZE
He Wins Big Mining Suit at
Helena, Mont.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 91.-The jury in
the United States district court today
returned a verdict in favor of F. Au-
gustus Heinze in the suit brought
against him by E. Rollins Morse, trus-
tee, for the recovery OF $150,0O0 dam
ages for the extraction of GRE from be
meath the surface of the Michael Davitt
claim in Butte. which Heinze had been
mining flom the surface Of the RaTus
and JOhnstown claims, adjoining, which
he owns. The large Importance of the
action was by reason of the fact that
the outcome of the suit not only deter
mined the value of the ore already ex-
tracted, but determined the title to the
rich slopes beneath the Davitt surface,
valued at $4,000, 600, and a part of the
assets Of the great Amalgamated Cop
per company, Morse being presumably
a trustee for the company in holding
the property, which was sold to him by
the receiver Of the Butte & Boston
company two years ago.
The trial has lasted since Dec. II, and
the witnesses We're eminent experts
from all parts of the country. The
costs Of the winning side will be close
to $500 Geo. exclusive of large attorneys

to the accusations against him. I

sonal attacks upon myself" he said.
''Or to the charges made against me of

The Chinese missionary influence.

The President should be under no illu-
sions as 70 what the Christian missionary
element in this country expects of him.
Its view of the Chinese situation is point
edly exc,nplifed in the remarks made by
the Methodist Bishop, Earl Cranston who
recently returned from China. In a recent
address at Denver this preacher said
at is worth any cost in money, il is worth any
cost in bloodsbod. il we can make the millions OF
Chinese true and intelligent Christians. ] would
cut all Of the red tape in the world and break
all the treaties mad TO place the armies Of
the United States in the fore, next to Great Brit
ain. The open door must be maintained for
Christianity as well as for commerce."
After such a pronunciamento we do not
see how Mr.. Mckinley can hesitate as to
his course. The powerful sect to which
he belongs calls upon him for drastic
meaures. China must be Christianized
even if ii should be necessary to kill every
Chinaman to accomplish the divine pur-
pose. There are millions of Americans
who would back him in sweeping the En-
pire as a punishment for che murder of
cur citizens, and TO protect our commerce.
But he has a still holier warrant for
heroic treatment of the Chinese evil.
Bishop of his own connection demands that
he shall ignore international law, and any
other ancient thing in the way, and. cut
ting ali the red tape in the world
slaughter the Mongolians. that they may
be brought to enjoy the peace which
passeth all understanding"

new country, with a population made
up of heterogeneous elements jumbled to-
gether under difficult conditions. soon
gets rid of its superstition and folklore,
and does not readily produce new popular
tales and songs. The people read books
instead Of telling tales. All this had its
effect on national life. 1t bred respect
for learning, and an aptitude for argu-
toned men to reason on public questions.
Sometimes they reasoned from material
and worldly point of view. and developed
low shrewdness; sometimes they strove
after Il broader and more liberal ideal
in politics; but at any rate they reason
ed, even when they were swept away by
emotionalism. They were less inclined to
be biindiy prejudiced or conservative thar
the inhabitants of older countries. And
all this came of the reading, analysing,
thinking habit, instead of the feudal at
tachment TO people. places, and heredi-
tary institutions so common among the
European peasant class. OF course, the
fact that a man knows how to read does
not make him moral, but, other things
being equal, it does lead him to think,
and it opens an avenue by which he can
be Influenced. The influence of the press
and Of books in general is wider now
than ever before
