LOUBET'S SPEECH
Contains What is Regarded as
q Pointed Reference to South
African Affairs.

Betheny, Franoe.-The Gar and
Czarina and President Loubet have
completed review Of lao, 900 troops
on the plain Of Betheny. The march
lasted from 10:45 a m. till 1:10 p.
m, terminating in a magnificent
charge Of 10000 cavalry. The spec
tacle was very imposing as the infan-
try went by $50 files deep with fixed
bayonets.
In his speech at the luncheon which
followed the review President Loubet
created somswhat of sensation by
saying:
1.-THE Franco Russian alliance is
pledged to settlements inspired by
Justice and humanity"
Whether rightly or otherwise, some
Of his hearers took the remark to re-
fer to affairs in South Africa.
The full text of NJ. Loubet's speech
Is as follows:
"Sire-In thanking your majesty
and her majesty, the empress. in the
name Of the French republic for hav-
ing been so good as to attend the
cheering spectacles Of the last few
days, my thought goes back to the
great political act which preceded
them and which lends them their
whole significance. Prepared and
by your august father, EN-
peror Alexander Ill, and President
Carnot and solemnly proclaimed on
board the Admiral Pothoauo by your
and President Faure, the al
lance Of Russia and France has had
time to affirm its character. II none
may doubt the essentially pacific idea
form which it arose, no more can any
one fail to perceive that it has con-
tributed powerfully to the mainte-
nance Of the balance between the
foroes Of Europe, a necessary condi-
lion Of peace which, to be faithful,
would not remain precarious. 1t has
developed with the years and the

into intense excitement again Satur-
Day by the report that the oil we'll on

spouted to within ten feet Of the top

New Iberia. Arthur Hebert, who a
year ago was convicted of manslaugh-
ter and sentenced to twenty years in
the state penitentiary, and who effect
ed his escape from the Jail here, was
arrested in Kenneth, Mo-, by Sheriff
Satterfeld on instructions from Sher.
III Henderson Of this place. The dis
covery OF Hebert's whereabouts was
made by Mr.. Henderson in a very
clever manner. Several times during
the past year Henderson, knowing
that Hebert fingered near his home
on the PEBBLES place, made excur-
sions there, but was never successful
In catching the fugitive. Tho last
time the home Of Hebert was visited
it was learned that he had slept the
night previous with two coon hunters
in the swamp. Sheriff Henderson and
his posse, with the aid of a guide,
found the camp and surrounded it,
but hebert was not captured. The
trappers were questioned. but said
they did not know Hebert, and were
brothers named Roberts, hailing from
Kenneth, Mo. A month after Hender-
son was informed that the trappers
had packed up and left Mr.. Hender-
on being convinced that Hebert went
with the coon hunters, had the Hebert
family's mail closely watched. with
the result that letter from Hebert
was intercepted in which he wrote he
was in Kennett, Mo. Sheriff Hender-
son at once wired the sheriff at Ken
nett to arrest Hebert, and few days
ago a telegram was received here
stating Hebert had been captured and
would be held to await the arrival Of
the proper authorities Deputy Sher-
IL Charles Maridat left here Monday
md will be back here this week with
he prisoner.

An examination of the above table
shows that the exports have, during
the five-year period from August 81,
1896, to August 81, 1901, increased
more than so per. cent, while the i'm
ports have increased less than Is per
cent. While it is not customary to
commerce by other than fiscal or cal
enar years, the fact that the export
record has, for the first time, exceed
ed a billion-and-a-half dollars in q
twelve months period, seems TO JUS
tify these comparative figures for the
period under consideration.

Senior Huesda, the special commits
sioner from Cuba, accompanied by
Senior Tonnage, the secretary of state
for Cuba under the insular govern
ment, and by DR.. MIRANDA, called
upon Secretary Hay Saturday. They
expect to leave for Havana this week.
The delegation is making every effort
to further the cause of reciprocity.
They represent that the present con-
ditions in Cuba are intolerable, and
that unless the United States is pre-
pared promptly to make some conoes-
sions in the reduction of duties ON
the Cuban staples the final ruin Of
the island is inevitable. Realizing
the delay that would follow an at
tempt to frame and rstify a recip-
rocity treaty, the Cuban delegates
hope they will be able TO induce the
state department to arrange g modus
vivendi which shall remain in force
until Congress has had opportunity
to act upon q more formal conven-
tion.

IMPORTANT CASE FINISHED
Evidence In Big Sewer County Land Case
Concluded.
With accommodation by Local Land
once officials, the Case VIII go TO
Commission at Washington.

The taking OF evidence In a most i'm.
portant land case has just been con-
cluded before the register OF the land
Office here. The case is entitled Smith
and others VS. the state and j. b. Wei.
mer, and is suit to acquire undis-
turbed ownership and title TO some 500
acres Of land on the SEWER river near
Marysvale. The plaintiff, Smith, a
Marysvale miner, and the Sadie Bell
Mining company. incorporated by Penn
sylyania men. covered the land in dis
pute with placer and lode mining
claims, AT about the same time the
land was appropriated by the State OF
Utah for grazing and agricultural pur-
poses and sold to J. h. Weimer, who,
with others, II is stated. wanted the
land for electric power plant purposes,
this land In dispute being the only
available site on the SEWER river in the
neishborhood Of the Marysvale and
Gold Mountain districts for that pur.
pose. The whole question at issue is
whether or not the land Is mineral or
non-mineral. II the former. the state
had no right to appropriate It. The TAX.
ing OF evidence has been de-
layed from time TO time cover
ing the past two months or
so and now that II has been concluded
before the receiver and register Of the
local land office the case VIII be sent
with recommendations. to the land
commission at Washington. 1t will
probably be appealed to the secretary
OF the interior who viii pass finally
upon the case. AS expert testimony has
been required the case has been an
expensive one-the land Office costs
alone amunting to 81 500 or 5000 How
ever, the land is stated to be worth |
for electric power plant purposes $3.50
900 or 100000 A new power plant built |
on this land would supply the mines at |
Marysvale and the vicinity with power |
and light. As this mining district IL
snort OF water power II would be a big /
hing for Il 10 have electric power and /
light furnished from a power plant \
operated BY water.

The people of nearly half a hundred
Utah cities. in common with those OF
several other municipalities throughout
the country are today deciding the
question as TO who shall govern them
during the next two years. To be speci-
fic, there are, In this state, just forty
seven cities engaged in that animating
and peaceful process today
The verdict viii be reached at Z
o'clock this evening though II will be
hours later before II will be formally
and definitely announced to the thou
sands that viii with more or less i'm
patience await its ooYing. The polls
opened at Just seven o'clock this morn
ing In the flfty-two districts embraced
In the Ave precincts within the city Of
Salt Lake. The opening was very quiet
and business like at all Of them. IL
there was any derellction or disturb
ance anywhere that fact was not re-
ported at the headquarters OF either Of
the political camps,
The early morning hours were not
productive Of great voting strength. On
the contrary they were characterized by
what in Presidential or state election
years, would be termed an appalling
lack OF interest. Towards the noon
hour, however, there was an increased
activity, particularly on the Republican
side, which as usual appeared to have
decidedly the best Of the carriage ques-
ton. II must not be understood from
this statement that all of the rustling
was done by the Republicans; for this
would not be true, as the Democrats
displayed no little zeal themselves. They
tried TO console each other with the
statement that Republican carriages
had hauled Democratic voters to the
polls all day.
But, like their opponents, they found
that Is, the committees and working
forces did, that the plain. ordinary cit
izen could not be easily aroused. For
some reason he seemed 20 take mighty
little interest in the struggle In fact,
few We're discovered who were not
even aware that an election was in
progress, As a leading politician re-
marked, that is what makes election
work deucedly hard and discouraging II
is bad enough 20 drag people out 10 vote
at any time but when you have TO tell
them what is going on and argue with
them as to what they should do-what
their duty is in the premises It Is a
pretty tough proposition"
II is impossible at this hour OF the |
day TO fortel what the outcome will be. |
II simply cannot be done. The voting |
is light In all Of the cities heard from,
including Salt Lake City. II appears |
to be simply question OF who is able |
to get out the most voters TO the polls. |
One thing Is certain-there Is n good |
deal OF scratching being done In this |
city. Most OF this Is on the heads OF |
the tickets, II is thought, though some
OF the council nominees are having the
process applied to them In several dis
tTicts. Conservative citizens are Of the
opinion that the City Council will be
a decidedly mixed body this time. AS 60
the number OF votes that will be polled
over the city and state It is not thought
that 1t will exceed rs per cent OF the
