with lis ana the DuhOnIc plague mas neGQ
in evidence in Bombay since 1913. Con-
unuing he said that the plague OF late
had shown disposition to extend its Dor
ders until there wore recently IN bombay
400 deaths from the raVages Of that ter
rible disease and the cholera combined in
a single day. AS yet however, he said
that the presidency of Madras had been
singularly free from the scourges OF
modern India.
In speaking about the famine which is
prevalent in the country sat the present
time he said: Anyone who mas lived IN
India for any extended period OF time eE-
poets to see a famine in some part OF the
country once in every ten years, for past
experience proves that d failure of crops
is bound to occur. This famine which Is
al its worst north of Bombay, * perhaps
as bad as any that has visited india for
some time past, and from the latest news
that / have received from there there are
over 100000 people who are receiving re-
lief from the government
Mr.. Fitzgerald did not appear to be at
all disturbed over the general situation
among the starving natives nor in regard
10 the threa tened descent OF the Russians
upon the northern portion Of india. IN MS
opinion the country was we'll able to
take care of itself if the pinch ever came.
He intends to stay in this city for a
couple of days ere continuing his jour
ney to Paris and from there on round the
world back to Madras
Those who say that Denver is dun at
are talking about said j. u. SheaTd of
the National Refrigerator company at
the Walker House last night To Illus
trate his point he proceeded to state that
in all branches of trade the working man
was receiving a better scale of wages
than was his brother in Salt Lake.
Take for instance the carpenters, they
are now receiving 3f12 cents per hour and
still they are not content, and threaten 10
strike for $3.50 a day of eight hours. The
bricklayerS too, are getting - day OF
eight hours and are still fighting for high
er wages 1t is a sure sign of prosperity
when the men are anxious to go on strike
and a glance around Denver today demon
strates the fact that there is great
amount OF building operations in pro-
gress.
Sheard is at present in this city in or
der to erect a prospective cold storage
plant, his company TO date having built
six plants in this state, three in Salt Lake,
two in Ogden and one in Richmond.
The Kenyon and the White House are
al present in the hands of an army of
painters, INDUCING in the regular spring
cleaning.
William Ellingford of Manti, actor, coal
miner and sheepman, is up from the San
pete county seat. When seen at the Gull
len last night he stated that he had mined
his last ton of coal. If anything has
made me make up my mind never to go
into a coal mine again. he said, 1T is
that awful explosion at ScOfield. l have
been mining off and on in this country Tor
the last eighteen years and in that time
fully 200 men with whom 1 have been &C
quainted have been killed. and / think
that it is about time to quit There were
nearly 100 men in that explosion with
whom l was well acquainted, including
my old partner, who lost their lives.
EllingfOrd stated that Manti had risen
nObly 20 the call for aid to the extent OF
collecting $500 in cash and contributing
carload Of -four and groceries to the wild
OwS and orphans of the dead miners
The occasion Of EllingfOrd's visit to
Salt Lake is in order that he may meet
with the directors of a mineral paint
mining company in which he is inter
ested- The property in question is stu
ated in Salina canyon in Sewer county
and is said to be a good proposition from
which can be mined a first-class mineral
coach plant.
Among the guests who yesterday regis
tered at the Cullen was Colonel w II.
Dewey Of NamDa, wh0>is interested in
the Baltimore q Ohio and the Idaho
course of construction in the state of
Idaho. When seen last night he stated
that IN the case of the former road there
had been thirty-one and One-nlnth miles
of road constructed towards the mines
with indications that 1t would he COM
pleted this summer In the case OF the
Idaho Northern he said that the company
was under contract to have tOrty-elght
miles of the track graded by July l.
