Talked Of Wool and Grover Cleveland
at Nephi.

Nephi, Utah March 23.-PromptIy at
$3.50 this afternoon, Postmaster Booth
with few other Hanna Republicans
were at the depot to welcome the once
silver, now gold, Republicans. Ham
mond and Sutherland. But as the train
slowed up, it was found they had got
ten off at Main street and were search
in for Charles Andrews, the wool man.
When found, they were told they were
not wanted at Mona, SO that trip was
abandoned.
The meeting here was a much better
success, the house being nearly two
thirds full. Mr.. Hammond was the first
speaker, but he received no applause
He began by talking about Grover
Cleveland and finally settled on the
sheep industry. He lodged the silver
issue, as this is the county seat Of a.
opponent for saying that the Roths-
chllGs furnished money for United
States bonds and referred BRIEFLY to the
trusts Said there was more protection
for trusts under the Wilson bill than
under. the Dingley. The way to do away
with the trusts, he said, was TO build
more factories and compete with the
trusts. In speaking Of the financial bill,
he supported it because it put more
money in circulation and the more
money, said he, the better the times.
He closed by urging them to send a
congressman that was in full harmony
with the administration, as we needed
more land grants and he thought he
could get them.
Mr.. Sutherland followed by telling
some biblical history Of the Democratic
party. He said he was a silver man,
but had decided that bimetallism must
come through the Republican party.

Loa, Utah, March 22-The Demo-
Gratis of Wayne county are working
hard for victory at the polls on the
End day of April. The county chair
man, Joseph Eckersley, has just re-
turned from a tour Of all the precincts
in the eastern part Of the county. The
party organizations in all the precincts
are more perfect and il a better condi-
ton 10 do effective work than ever be-
fore Mr.. Eckersley addressed enthu-
slastic audiences at Aldridge, Caneville,
Hanksville, Giles, Torrey and Thurber.
The meetings held were made notable
by the presence Of Republicans, who
listened attentiYely and manifested
their approval of the arguments
brought forth IN support of Democratic
doctrines. Meetings have been held at
Lyman and Loa, addressed by the Hon.
M. W. Mansfield and Joseph Eckersley,
and the Republicans of Loa and other
stroRgholds of their party in Wayne
county are commencing TO feel dis
comforted, as the prospects of a vic
tory as anticipated by them at the
opening of the campaign are not now
cesdingly jUbilant over the privilege
soon to be afforded them of listening
to the Hon D. O. RideOut and Joseph
Monsoon, who are to speak at meetings
to be held in the near future in all
the precincts as far south as TOrrey.

NJ. Kellogg of Provo. The meeting was
called TO order by James E. earns.
Judge Kellogg. the first speaker, ably
discussed the Issues His cool, fOreibie
reasoning held the audience.
Hon. A J. Evans discussed briefly
the state platforms of the two parties
and showed that on the most vital
questions confronting the people, the
Republican party was silent. He scored
the Republicans for deprecating the
failure Of the Democratic legislature to
elect a senator and then remaining ST
lent when the question Of submitting
the election of senators to the people
is preached. He discussed further the
financial bill, showing It's fallacy in de-
clariTlg unequigocally for the single
gold standard and then adding that it
did not discourage any attempt at in
ternational bimetallism. He discussed
in conclusion the conduct of the adj
ministration toward Porto Rico. At the
conclusion of his remarks he was greet
ed with warm applause.

Hammond at Salina

Salina, March 23.-The Hammond
Sutherland show performed here TO a
house filed with women and school
children. Hanmond's speech was more
like a school boy reciting his first COM
position than a man running for the
high office of representative, and the
feeling here is that il would have been
better for the party had he remained
at home. Sutherland admitted that he
voted for Bryan, and was glad of it,
and would do it again if he thought
there was a chance OF winning. Neither
speaker mentioned the trusts.

EXPLAINED BY ROOT
Permits For Gold Dredging Off
Coast Of Alaska.

Washington, March 23.-Secretary
Root today transmitted to the senate
his reply TO the resolution requesting
information on the war departments
practice of granting permits for gold
dredging off the Alaskan coast. He
states that no concessions or grants
10 eXcavate the gold bearing bed of the
sea at or in the vicinity of Cape Nome
or in other Alaskan waters have been
made by the secretary of war or any
other official of the war department
but that permits have been given under
the navigation act of March 8, 1899. TO
eXcaVate or dredge for gold at points
where there can be nc hindrance TO
navigation. He stated that DrosDectors
must secure such permits to avoid liza
bility to heavy fines under the act. The
secretary adds:
AS this statute was designed solely
for the protection of navigation. it has
been the practice of the war DEPART
ment to grant permits to persons de-
string TO eXcavate for any purpOsa
when the work is not such as TO I'M
justly effect navigation and is other
wise lawful. Permits thus granted are
not exclusive: they do not preclude any
number of similar permits applicab bic
to the same territory; they are not
grants or concessions and they confer
no rights whatever except immunity
from prosecution under the statute.
Open to All.
"As there seems to be no legal reason
why all citizens of the United States
shrould net have the same opportunity
TO prospect for gold and acquire rights
under the mining laws upon land un-
der water as they have upon lands not
under water. the department deter
mined as general policy in the exer-
CiSeS of the discretion vested in the
chief of engineers and secretary of war
by this statute to relieve all citizens

by this statute as long as their pro-
posed operations do not in fact inter
fere with navigation.
"All applications made under this
statute have accordingly 80 far as it
has been possible to dispose Of them

closing with the following:
''5e it resolved, That the further use
OF the troops of the United States in
aiding or assisting in the maintenance
of martial law within the said county
OF ShCshOne is improper, unnecessary
! and unlawful and that the president
OF the United States be requested forth
with to withdraw said troops now in

wise TO influence the president Of the
United States in maintaining and keep
ing said troops within the limits of the
said county of ShOShOne TO aid the
proper officers in the execution of the
civil law therein
The resolution is preceded by a, long
recital of the alleged improper condi-
lions existing, in part as follows:
Whereas At all time@ since the third
day Of May, 1899, the county of Sho-
shone has been in a state of peace and
not of war nor invasion nor insurrec-
ton nor rebellion.
t'Whereas, It is not within the power
or authority Of the governor of Idaho
or the president of the United States
in time Of peace to continue martial
law on account Of any fictitious neces-
sity, and
Whereas. In violation of the four
teenth amendment of the constitution,
citizens have been arrested without
due process of law and held for indefi-
mite periods at the viii Of the authorities
| claiming to exercise martial law in
said county without any judicial pro-
cess of legal warrant. and
Whereas, The form of commitment
and warrant Of arrest ia a revival Of
the Infamous system Of letters de each
ct, by which innocent citizens were ar
Oitrarily arrested and held during the
reign of Louis XIV of France and his
despotic tyranny, and the same is but
a repetition Of the unlawful arrests
made under the warrant of the early
kings OF England, abolished by the bill
of rights and the Magma Charta and
such warrants are illegal. uncOnstitu-
tiOnal and unprecedented in the United
States and abhorTent to all classes Of
citizens, etc"
