san Juan, p, r.. April 1.-THE red
star line steamer Caracas with U. s..
Minister Francis b. LOOMS Of Yenezu-
ella on board, has sailed from here for

Answering a question on the subject
Mr.. Loomis said he saw no necessity
for sending the United States squadron

mitted that II was possible this might
be done. Venezuela is now quiet and
there is no immediate apprehension OF
a revolution. The minister said he be-
leves President Castro IL capable OF
handling the situation. He made no
direct statement regarding the POSSIBLE
ity Of trouble between the United States
and Venezuela. remarking that he could
not talk on the subject before reaching
Washington, but so far as he knew. the
entire misunderstanding was due 10 the
asphalt controversy and In his opinion,
months will elapse before II Is settled
in the courts. He refused 20 deny that
q certain anti-American ring would be
glad to see him recalled. Mr.. LOOMS

FIGURES AND FACTS.
Ogden Standard Fails to Graduate
I'm a Sum in Simple Addition.

The Ogden Standard in an editorial
last night says:
"Thirty-seven miles south 70 Salt
Lake City, and thirty miles further
south and TO the west would take the
Southern Pacific from Ogden 10 the
south end OF Great Salt Lake--that IL
81 miles. Then another 81 miles north,
plus 10 miles would place the rails
on the west shore OF the lake, on a
parallel with 0gden-that Is to say $50
miles Of und-about- the-lake would
bring the road as far on its westward
course as the As miles OF lake cutoff.
Yet Salt Lakers talk OF the possibility
OF the round about the-lake being
built. Great railroaders, those Salt
Lakers."
The fact OF the matter Is that when
the cutoff from Elko, New. 10 Salt
Lake is finished the distance between
Uintah and Elko viii be reduced by S6
miles over the Ogden route, and AT the
same time there would not be any of
the distressing grades and heavy haul
age TO be negotiated as there are at the
present over Kelton and Promontory.
and which cost the Southern Pacific
thousands OF dollars every month. II
goes without saying that the time
would also be cut down by hours IL
the Union Pacific decides also TO con-
struct the Chalk Creek cutoff through
Emigration canyon the transcontinental
time would be further materially re-
duced. II Is understood that the
Union Pacific still holds an option on
the right Of way OF the old Utah &
Wyoming which has charter for that
grade.

by Garrett D. Ripley
WHEN SANFORD WAS KILLED
Damaging Testimony Against Ripley
-Laborer Heard Him say GoebcI
Would Never serve ~ Governor.

Frankfort, KY, April 1l.-When the
trial of Garnett d. Ripley was resumed
today the defendant came into court
accompanied by his wife and looking
cheerful, The court granted an order
on the Western Union telegraph office
at Eminence, TO produce all kilograms
sent and received by Ripley last year,
j. w. Ferguson, laborer, who
worked for Ripley last year said that
he had been in meetings at Frankfort
and heard Ripley say that while Goe-
bel might be declared governor, he
would never serve. Ripley also said,
according to witness that Goebel
should have been killed when he killed
Sanford and applied vile epithets in
referring to Goebel.
The defense on cross examination de-
veloped that Ferguson was not certain
whether the conversation occurred prior
to the November election or In January
as he had stated.
William Crawford. who followed Fer
guson, testified that the conversation
was IN January.
William Jones, oolored who also
worked as laborer for Ripley, told of
hauling mysterious boxes of freight
from Emnence TO Ripey's house the
day before Goebel was asSassinated He
said he discovered that they contained
guns, cartridges, soldiers clothes and
other military paraphernalla
In reply TO a question from the de-
Tense, Jones admitted that he had
served term In the penltentiary.
Mr.. O'Neil, of the defense, said that
that side would admit the hauling Of
freight to Ripleys house and there was
no more testimony on this point.
Judge w. II. Yost, who assisted ex-
Gov. Bradley as counsel for ex-Gov.
Taylor last year, corroborsted the testi-
mony of Bradley, given yesterday al.
ternoon.
On January 25th, the day the carload
Of mountain men were here, he saw Mr.,
Bradley In conversation with a man.
He could not hear what the first party
said but heard Bradley say 1T is
damnable outrage. II anything Of that
kind Is TO occur l will 60 with Goebel

Bradley then told him that he had
been told three men We're waiting to

Bradley and Yost then hunted up Chas.

they had heard. Finley said nothing

cur After the shooting Judge Yost
said on one occasion Ripley complained
of an indgnity he had received at the
hands of Taylor, and Ripley also re-
lated to him the conversation with Tay-
lor related by Gov. Bradley yesterday
in which Taylor had told him that
Goehel would not live "a hours longer.
Judge Yost said he advised Ripley
against repeating the statement

off proposition and had been
made acquainted with the
fact that twice in recent years
the lake had risen to height
fifteen feet above the present level and
that 1t was liable TO do so again Also
that the heavy waters dashing against
the piers were like so much molten lead
In weight, and no one could say what
might be the effect on the track. There
was always chance OF accident and II
train upset with the lake at high
tide, there would be no one left to tell
the tale,
Col. Donnellan remarked that II
looked as though the railroad people
were coming TO their senses at last, on
this Lueln cut -off proposition, and add
ed that that route, aside from the other
objections, would cost them several
times as much as one into Salt Lake.
MIR. Burton inquired whether 1t would
be feasible TO raise any amount that
would form an object to the railroad
company, stating that even half a mill
lion dollars would be mere nothing to
them.
Mr., Mccormick said he had no idea on
this matter. but thought that II the de-
pot grounds and free water could be as
sured 1t would be BIG point.
Mr., Lannan urged the appointment of
committee to invite offers Of land
from owners, and said this would bring
up the matter In tangible shape. He
said he knew personally that the rail-
road people had not made up their
minds on the Lucin CUTOFF. and he
knew from Mr.. Hartman that that
gentleman thought Salt Lakes future
ahead Of even that Of Denver or Omaha,
Col Donnellan thought It should be
ascertained whether the land was
wanted for a mere depot, or shops and
yards as we'll He said in the last few
DAYS he had sold five acre plot OF
ground in North Salt Lake and he I'M
derstood II was wanted for railroad
shops. He thought more land In that
locality could be secured.
Mr. Chapman stated that North Salt
Lake was the proper place as land there
was cheap.
Mr. Burton thought the first step
should be 10 find out just what the
railroad people expected from Salt
Lake. After considerable more discus
sion, Mr.. Burton moved that Messrs.
Weber, Mccormick and j. G. Cutler be
appointed committee to ascertain
what inducements were required and TO
invite offers OF land.
Mr., Slegel thought the committee
should number five, but he did not press
the matter.
Mr.. Hills moved that II be the sense
Of the meeting that the business men
Of this city should use their best en-
deavors. and lend all encouragement
possible to induce the road TO enter this
city by the route proposed. This was
unanimously carried and the meeting
then adjourned subject to the call Of
the chairman.
