TAME MEETING
OFFICIALS DID NOT ACCOMPLISH
MUCH AT SALT
LAKE.
The Only Action Was a Decision to Put
on a Second Train Between Granger
and Huntington-Ogden Gateway
Still Open Despite Wild Reports
from Omaha.

Salt Lake Tribune: The railroad CON
ference "Wednesday must have been a
sore disappointment to those poorly in
formed persons who insisted that the
gateway would close; everybody would
be looking for a new position and var
ious big changes would occur. There
was absolutely nothing done of import
ance except to decide OIL the double
train service between Portland and
Granger, the date for the Inauguration
of the service being set for April LIST.
The Ogden gateway was not discuss
ed. The portals remain wide open to
the discontinue of those newspapers
that have for several weeks been work
ing up a sensation of the great worry
of minor railroads along the line. Be
yond the agency changes already an
nounced nothing was done. The Port
land agency was not discussed so no
change will be made at once. Locally
there will be no change in the situation
and for the present all Union Pacific
employees will remain in their present
positions.
The Northwestern and Union Pacific
officials went to Ogden early in the
morning to keep IN appointment with
Fourth Vice President julius Krutt-
schnitt of the Southern Pacific. The
purpose OF the meeting was to see il
Union Pacific interests are impaired by
the Rio Grande changes which the
Southern Pacific announced for Feb
ruary 25th. This service will stand but
it makes no change for the Union Pa
cifc except in the minor train. The
Union Pacific will operate the Overland
Limited and the Rio Grande will oper-
ate the night train out OF San Francisco
while each road will line up its rains
to make connections at Ogden for all
Southern Pacific trains, the aggregate
being twenty-five through trains daily
for Utah people and il that does not
stimulate travel no passenger service
can.
Regarding the Chicago-Portland train
all that can be said Of it is that it will
be a limited six or seven car train Of
the finest description and the Idaho and
Oregon people will have the finest train
ever seen in their section.
The Northwestern and Southern Pa
ciic oficials left Ogden after the early
morning conference. The others re-
turned to this city to discuss matters
with Short Line officials. The meeting
lasted until $50 O'Clock, when all the
Union Pacific men left the city save
Messrs. Munroe and Lomax, who re-
main over a day or so. Messrs. Mohler
and Campbell leave for Portland this
morning.

NO ACTION TAKEN
By Governor Taylor Regarding Agree
ment Made at Louisville.

Frankfort, Feb. Sunless some ac-
ton regarding the Louisville agree
ment is taken by Governor Taylor to-
morrow or next day, or some word sent
them concerning his intentions, the
democrats will proceed upon the hy-
pothesis that he does not intend to
take any action and will go ahead with
the organization of their state govern
ment at Louisville.
Governor Taylor announced tonight
he had taken no action regarding the
agreement, and there was no possible
chance of his doing SO before tomor-
row. He would not say whether he
would take any action tomorrow or
not. 1t is practically certain the agree
ment will not be accepted by Taylor as
it stands. He desires more specific
promises regarding the repeal of the
Goebel law and the decision in the
gubernatorial CONTEXT by a separate
vote of the two legislative houses.
To this last the democrats say they
will not agree. Regarding the repeal
of the law, they claim nc mention was
made of repeal in the Louisville confer
ence. The talk was entirely regarding
the enactment of a new election law to
be framed by selected men OF both par
ties. This law would, in the nature of
things. repeal the Goebel law by the
mere fact of its being later legislation
upon the subject.
Governor Taylor holds the view at
present that Goebel never was legally
and will demand a new vote on
the matter before he will consent to
abandon his seat under any circum-
stances.
Both branches of the republican leg
at London held secret sessions
today and adjourned until tomorrow.

OTIS TO RETURN HOME.
The New Philippine Commission Will
be in Supreme Control.

Washington, Feb. S.-Major General
Elwell S. Otis will be detached from
duty as governor general of the Philip
pines and commander Of the depart
ment Of the Pacific Immediately after
the arrival Of the new Philippine COM
mission and will be ordered to return
to the United States.
This action will be in compliance
with the wishes of General Otis, who
has informed the war department tina
he is in need Of a rest. The president
believes General Otis can be relieved
after the arrival of the commission in
Manila-which will occur late in April
or early in May-without detriment to
the interests of the government. He
will be succeeded by the senior officer
of the islands, probably General Arthur
Macarthur, who will be subordinate to
the new commission, which will possess
plenary powers and will be responsible
to the war department.
Granting of such extensive authority
to the new commission and its assign
ment to duty under the war department
marks important departures in the poll
cy Of the administration. Members Of
the Schurmann commission have COM
planned that they were handicapped in
their work by the necessity of subordi-
mating their action to the military.
The decision to place the Taft COM
mission under the war department
means that the archipelago is now con-
sidered domestic territory.
After the suppression Of organized
resistance on the part of the natives
the archipelago will be divided into
four grand military departments.
Judge Taft, as chairman of the COM
mission, will remain in Manila, the su-
preme head Of the archipelago, and will
be to all intents and purposes the gov
ernor, although he will not have that
title. Civil affairs Of each military de-
partment will be administered by a
commissioner, who will be in every
thing but name governor Of the terri
tory comprised in that district.

The heaviest fighting appears to have
been on Tuesday. Buffers 233 casual

ties are mentioned as having occurred
before noon Tuesday. Large lists, conse-
4uently are expected for the rest of the
day. The casualties already reported
bring the total British losses during
the war to 10.244 killed, wounded and
captured.
The disposition here is rather to
minimize the Importance of the fight
ing in Natal and suggest that this is
only an incident, anyway, placing hope
upon the expected decisive action in
northern Cape Colony and upon the in
vasion of the Free State by Lord Rob-
erts. At all events this is the official
view.
In Cape Colony General Mcdonald
has had a skirmish with a thousand
Beers at koodooborg. This was on
Monday. The Beers have been taking
the offensive against General French
at Rensburg, as well as against Gatacre
in the Stormberg hills.
Since the war has strained the re.
sources of the military system. Eng
lishmen have been troubled by the pos
sibility that sea fighting might show
naval defects which would weaken the
first line of defense in which the coun-
try has placed such complete trust.
The apprehension has suddenly found
expression. During the last two or three
days, in half the newspapers of Eng
land the governments attention has
been specially directed to muzzle load
ing guns. Even public men have been
painfully surprised to learn that 16 bat
tleships and eight armored cruisers
depend upon muzZle leaders. This
means that smaller, but faster, ships
with modern guns would be able to
stay 1000 or 1000 yards out of range
and to disable in a leisurely fashion
about one-third OF the vessels which
appear on the naval list.
The admiralty is understood to be
preparing to remedy this defect, and
propose also considerable additions
that will preserve the present ratio of
Great B%ritain's naval strength to that
Of France and Germany.

THE TRABINGC 0MMERCIALC0
BIG SHEEP DEAL.

A deal by which 5000 sheep changed
hands for 5000 was consummated
yesterday. An effort was made to keep
the matter quiet, as other deals were
contingent upon this one but it leaked
out. The sellers wer ""ssrs. Need

A FINE SHOWING
ROCK SPRINGS STATE HOSPITAL
is FLOURISHING UNDER
NEW REGIME.
Last Month Paid a Proit-Secretary
Chatterton Testifes to the Expert
Surgery of the Institution-Mor-
mons Will Reclaim $4,000 Acres of
Land in Big Horn County.

Sun-Leader: It's always a suspicion
circumstance when three %cOngenial fell
lows like u governor, Judge Knight
and Secretary Chatterton arrive home
from a trip and positively refuse to tell
stories on each other Such is the case
however, and we are sorry to make the
statement, as We understand that were
it not for the triple alliance, many in
teresting incidents of the visit to Zion
might be related. The governor ad-
mitted today that the visit was largely
to interest the enterprising Mormons
in establishing a colony in Big Horn
county. 1t is>unfortunate that various
parties have at different times gone in
to enterprises to reclaim large tracts OF
land and have failed in their ~endeavors,
OF these $4,000 acres We're segregated
by the Cincinnati company, but they
failed to live up to their contract and
relinquished their claim. This is the
land the Mormons will reclaim under
Carey act. They will take a big ditch
out of the Shoshone river to irrigate
the land. Apostle Woodruff, son of
the former president of the church, and
twelve Mormons are now in Big Horn
county and the contract will be signed
in a very few days. The Mormons are
ideal colonizers and they will undoubt-
eddy succeed in Big Horn county, as
they have elsewhere. Their communi-
ties are thriving and peaceful and de-
void of crime.
The officials visited the state asylum,
which the governor reports in an ex-
ceedingly satisfactory condition. A
part of the object of the visit was to
size up the situation at the institution
and consider the proposition of erect
ing the addition, which is very badly
needed at the present time.
The officials also visited the Rock
Springs state hospital, which never was
in better condition. There has been
an entire revolution in the methods of
management whereby the cost of main
tenance has beesn iedoSei very ma
terially and the results generally have
been gratifying. Last month the insti-
tuition was conducted with a neat profit,
while heretofore it has been maintained
at a loss.
Secretary Chatterton became deeply
interested in the surgery of the insti-
tuition. Cases most peculiar in their
scientific significance were explained
to him by the physicians and he is still
discussing the possibilities, p%robabili-
ties and disappointments of modern
methods in vogue in our American hos
pitfalls.
The officials report universal pros
perity. The people state that they have
never had better times. There are no
complaints and the outlook for the flu
ture is full of encouragement.

UNION PACIFIC EARNINGS.
Directors Declare Dividend and Make
Statement of Earnings.

New York, Feb. S.-The directors Of
the Union Pacific Railroad company, at
their meeting today, declared a divi-
dend OF 2 per cent on preferred stock
and lk per cent on common. The Un-
ion Pacific since its reorganization in
1895 has paid three dividends on its S97,-
6S7 900 preferred stock, two of ~ per
cent and n of 2 per cent.
Statements submitted to the board Of
directors show that the accumulation of
earnings of the system, including the
Union Pacific Railroad company, the
Oregon Short Line and the Oregon rail-
way and Navigation company, for the
year ending December, 1899, were s12,-
1884, 33. These results we're obtained
after charging to income for better
ments and equipment approximately
50 200, 000. Expenditures have been
made for betterments and equipments
since the reorganization Of the three
companies named, entirely provided for
out of the cash of the reserves and
without any increase Of capital or other
obligations, amount to 50, 627, 900, which
amount, however, includes 5 5000. 900
charged to income. Cash on hand Feb.
7, 1900, vas $s,69s, 1856. The surplus
earnings per annum, including amounts
paid from income for capital expendi-
lures, were more than double the divi-
dend on the common stock at the rate
Of 3 per cent per annum. The six
months statement ending Dec. 81, 1899,
shows a net increase of $3.50, 26O over
the same period Of 1898.

The discovery of the remains Of .
mastodon near Newburgh. New York.
last summer, recalls the fact that the
best preserved skeleton Of one Of these
huge animals o to be found in our
museums was also discovered in q
marsh near Newburgh. That part Of
the Hudson Valley appears to have
been a favorite haunt for these Ameri-
can elephants. Inspection Of the place
where the latest discovery was made
emphasizes the fact that beavers were

About the New Catarrh Gu

ADOut the new 1870
The new Catarrh Cure is 2 new
departure In so-called catarrh
cures, because 1t actually cures, and
is not simply a temporary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure Is not q
salve, ointment, powder nor liquid,
but a pleasant tasting tablet con-
tanning the best specifics for
catarrh in a concentrated. con-
venient form.
The old style catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and in
convenient at the best; the new
preparation being in tablet form Is
always clean and convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior
to Catarrh powders because 1t is a
notorious fact that many catarrh
powders contain cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a whole
some combination of blood root,
beachwood tar, guaiacol and other
antiseptics, and cures by its action
upon the blood and mucus mem
brane, the only rational treatment
for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon
your imagination to discover
whether you are getting Dene1t
from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; in
provement and relief are apparent
from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but 30 cents tcr
full sized packages, and any catarrn
sufferer who has wasted time and
money on sprays, salves and pow
ders, will appreciate to the full the
merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.

TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
AT BELLAIRE, YES
TERDAY.
MICHAEL FEENEY MAY DIE
As A RESULT OF WOUNDS RE-
CEIvED YESTERDAY MORNING.
He Was Caught by . Brake and
Dragged for Some Distance-His
Condition Serious Last Night.
Louis Rauch Badly Injured During
the Afternoon.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
IMiehael Feeney, a brakeman on the B.
& O. yards at Bellaire, while at work
| with the yard crew, which was doing
some switching. was probably fatally
hurt.
After throwing the switch Feeney
attempted to step on the foot-board of
the engine, but his foot slipped, throw
ing him along the track. His body
was caught by the cross brake and
dragged and rolled for over ten feet
before the train was stopped.
He was picked up by his fellow
trainmen and carried to his home on
Crescent street, which was near, and
Drs. Boone, Beetham and Rogers were
called. Upon examination it was found
he was badly crushed about the chest,
which had caused internal hemor-
rhages. He also had many other
bruises. The doctors all were of the
opinion that he could live but a
short time. At a late hour last even
ing he was still living, but his condi-
ton was not improved.
Feeney was a young man about
twenty-five years of age and married.
He was well known in Bellaire and
had many friends among railroad men,
all of whom hope he may recover
His injuries are such that little hope
for him can be entertained.
Louis Rauch, a popular young B. &
o. brakeman, suffered a serious acct
dent in the Bellaire yards yesterday
afternoon. He was making a coupling,
when his hand slipped and was caught
between the bumpers and crushed so
badly that 1t was necessary to ampu-
tate two of his fingers. DR.. Boone
dressed the injured hand, and he was
resting very easily last evening.
