HORRIBLE DISCOVERY
On the Shore of a Utah Lake.
Skeleton of a Woman Found
Chained to a Rock.

Salt Lake, Dec. 10 Portions OF
woman's skeleton, white with glistening
salt, and salt-encrusted chain still en-
circling rock at the edge OF Great Salt
Lake, have been found They tell the
story OF a ghastly crime committed half
century ago.
Three days ago, Ray Perkins, of Pleas
beach of Salt Lake, when his eye caught
something half buried in the sand and
salt that looked like skull. He made
investigation and found a complete skull
and other bones, together with the chain.
Ths skull was pronounced by experts to
be that of woman, but the solution OF
it's identity did not come until today.
G. G. Richards, a pioneer, declared that
the bones must be those OF Mrs. Agatha
White.
The White family had settled in the
early SOS near Black Rock, on Salt Lake,
and White began farming and raising
cattle. One day, firing Of the hardships
OF pioneo, life and OF his domestic ar
and left tho country. Mrs. White and
her daughter remained on the ranch and
kept it up. One hot June morning Mrs
White came plodding into Grantsville,
then a walled fort, and reported the
theft Of several of her cattle and team
of horses She did not know whether
they had been taken b, Indians or out
laws. A few days later a man from the
fort discovered near Black Rock the
mangled body of the little White girl
But the mother had disappeared.
Mrs. White was never seen again.
Weird stories were told by the settlers of
shrieks being heard about Black Rock
and the place was avoided as haunted.
No trace of Mrs. Whites remains we're
ever found until Ray Perkins came on
the glietening skull. Even now it is a
mystery why the skeleton should have
been chained to q rock

Guided BY Spirits.

On December lst, on the south end of
the Blue mountsins, an old Spanish
mine working was opened by Mr. A.
Strouse, OF Dolores, Colorado, and it is
believed to be the long sought for Jose-
phine mine worked by the Spanish
about three hundred years ago, records
OF the existence Of such mine having
been found among the old Mexican ar
chives.
Mr.. e Il. Ryan who came in from
Monticello today. informs us than he
had talk with Mr. Strouse who Inform
ed him that he had been guided entirely
by a spiritual communication from a
dead brother, in discovering the mine.
He received the communication on We'd
nssday of last week and left Dolores at
once.
Following the directions, which were
very plain, he went directly to the spot,
which is about 4 mile and half from
the saw mill on the Blue mountains.
There we're no surface indications, but a
little digging soon showed he was at the
right place and found it just as described
in the communication to him, even to
come picks used by former owners. He
made no further investigation but came
at once to Monticello to record his loca-
ton, whore Mr.. Ryan met him.
Both Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Peachman,
who also just came in from Mou uticello
Say the discovery has caused much ex-
citement in and about the Blue noun

The Northern Pacific telegraphers and

employees along the line from Minneapolis

should be mustered in and when mustered out, thus enabling it to limit and to provide for war expenditures, and enabling 1t, too, to check any warlike procMvities of the ex- executive branch of the government. The war with China was begun and conducted throughout without the sanction of Com gress; and the new bill submitted by Sec retary of War Root seems adapted to like efforts. Under one pretense or another the President could then go to war, and he would have authority to increase the army to suit the case.
 If Secretary Roots bill and the ship sub stdy bill become laws, there will be no cam- paign charges of importance unfulhlled. An army at the discretion of the President means empire, ard it may mean needless wars and the ship subsidy bill means need less plunder of the treasury. Four years more of such rule will be apt to awaken the people to a serious effort to throw it off, and this is about all the consolation the case admits of.

THE GUN WE SHOULD HAVE.
m the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Announcement is made by the ordnance bureau that series of gun tests will be made, beginning March 2, with a view to selecting a field gun equal to the best ar tillery in use in Europe. American gum makers are invited to compete The date set is just beyond the time when the ex- perimental gun made after the French plans Is to be completed, so it may be ex- pected that gun will be in the trials. It will be no surprise if the French gun is found inferior to several American types and certainly the American manufactur- CTS should be spurred by the prospect to vindicate the reputation of the country for skill, ingenuity and mechanical superiority The American field gun now in service is not far inferior to the best in Europe. but the American field gun ought to be-as the Aherlcan gunner is-the peer of anything on the earth. It ought to be an American model too.

TRADE RIVALRY IN EAST AFRICA

From Ainslees Magazine.
 Because they do not hurry in Zanzibar it must not be understood as n lazy spot. Let no one think that; on the contrary, it has now become the metropolis of East Africa, and rarely a day passes but that the big tramp ships from Rangoon, Hamburg, Liverpool and New York discharge their cargoes on the shelving belch and fill up again with the rich products of the island and it's mainland nearby. This much to the poignant envy of Emperor William, whose own possessions lie just across the channel the capital of which, Dares Salaam, is mak- ing every effort to defect thither the trade from Zanzibar In no port of the world are Germany and England contesting so bitterly for commercial supremacy as on this African east coast, and the rivalry has now reached such a point of inten- sity as to be a cause of open rupture any moment.

ANOTHER ENGLISH COMPLAINT.

from the Pittsburg Dispatch,
 English manufacturers have fresh cause Tor complaint in the sale of a large order or rail and fish plates by the Carnegie company to the Great Eastern railway. The grievance is so acute there has been some official correspondence on the sub Ject. The manager of the Great Eastern. however gives the best reasons for plac- ing the order in Pittsburg First, the English manufacturers would not under take to make delivery at a date early enough to meet the company's necessities
 and, second, the American rails are cheaper.
 This is but one of many cases noted within the past few years. Protests have availed the British manufacturers noth- ing. They have simply served to adver- tise the superior efficiency of the Ameri- cans. If the English steel masters de- sire to retain their trade they should waste no energy in complaining, but de- vote all they have to the study and prac- tice of American methods. It is true they may accomplish something by levy ing revenue tax upon imports as has recently been suggested, though that course will not help them in the broad markets of the world.

At the Presidents Discretion.

The bill submitted by the administration providing for the reorganization of the army is a very remarka ble bill. All the charges as to A great standing army are fulfilled in 1t, and the President is besides made a judge of Its size. The President is given more power under this bill than the Emperor of Germany possesses or any other constitutional sovereign. The Czar will, If this bill become law, be the only ruler who will have more power than Pres tdent Mckinley.
 The bill provides for minimum force of 5S,924 men, which may be swelled at the discretion of the President to 96, 6,766 men It provides for five more regiments of caval- ry, five more of infantry, and for the equiv aient of five more regiments of artillery Besides all this the President would be au- thorized to muster in a provisional force of natives in Porto Rico and the Philip pines, and TO limit is set upon such force either in respect to time or numbers, so far as present information goes
 Heretofore Congress coming directly from the people has decided how many soldiers should be mustered in, and when they

vary from s,250,OO0 to about 10,000,60e with a very pronounced disposition to. gravI- tate towards 9,5OO,o0O bales.
 Nine and a half million bales seems at the moment the figure which finds most favor in the American cotton trade Should that prove to be the size of the cotton crop now being marketed, the cotton-c consuming world will find 1t diffi- cult to make the available supply go round, unless prices are materially ad- vanced The accepted European author ity declares that 1o,0OO,OOO bales of Ameri- can cotton will be consumed this season, and, in making that estimate, he allows for the enhanced value of cotton. If current trade opinoins are correct, the supply will fall far short or the worlds requirements leaving the position of the staple an exceedingly strong one.

E OEIy DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Coy. William ]. Sanford.

Today at noon William J. Sanford, of the State Is perfect, will. if alive, be- come Governor of the State. There was a feeling of relief throughout the State when it became known that he was able Do leave his bed on Thursday and take the oath of office. This encourages the hope that he will fully regain his health, and will live to serve the State many years.
 Thus passes away a great crisis in the political if not military, history of the State. No longer ago than Wednesday of this week the court journal boldly an- nouneed this programme
 If. on the contrary, Colonel Sanford cannot qualify on Saturday next take it that Governor Johnston will not shirk from his constitutional duty to continue in office until such time as the Governor elect shall qualify. And should the Gener- al Assembly or any one take a different view of Governor Johnston's rights and duties under those melancholy circum- stances, the question can be easily and promptly adjudiclated in the Supreme Court"
 If this programme had been attempted, no doubt the National Guards would have been called out, but how many of them would have responded is another question; for when the State has a null tiplieity of governors National Guards man has his choice of them, as we'll as any other citizen.
 But such a programme; so plainly in defiance of the spirit of the Constitution as well as of the State recently enacted over a significant veto could not have been carried out, simply because the people had elected d legislature that would have done its duty-a legislature that plainly saw its duty and was ready Legislature. It had shown it's frmness and its independence and its will, and it was these that operated as a restraining force upon personal ambition and bold assertion.
 The Peoples Will stands supreme, and that is glory enough. The State is saved from disorder and confusion and the executive power of the State will be taken up by William J. Sanford, whose title to the office is beyond question. There will be anxiety as to the recovery of his health, but the distinguished in- valid holds the confidence of the people in an unusual degree, and they will patiently await his complete convalescence.

furnished for afflicted humanity through the coming years; and it is well enough, by the way that the public understand that those magnihcently furnished rooms are for the use of the public, though they are intended for patients who are able to pay for such privacy and luxury that the rooms afford These rooms are apart from the great number of beds in the charity wards for patients who haven't the means with which to pay for hospital accommodations St. Vincents is distinctly charity hospital for all who. may be afiicted but a certain number of private rooms are reserved for patients who pay, and these rooms constitute the hosptars only source of revenue from the suffering public. Pa tients who take the private rooms do noth- ing for the good Sisters themselves; what ever is paid for private accommodation goes to the support of the beds for which no pay is expected. In other words, there are beds for the well-to-do who can pay and beds for the poor who cant pay.
