ELLIS BISHOP RETURNS.
Rector of St. Paul's Explains His
Resignation.

Rev. Ellis Bishop, who has been on
pleasure trip TO Honolulu, returned from
that place yesterday. He reports most
delightful trip ard a great Improvement
in his health. He IS most profuse IN his
praise of the Pacific isle which he de-
clares is a.veritabIe paradise, and one of
the most promising places in business and
other ways that he knows Of. He reports
that he met several Salt Lake people
there and was accorded welcome that
made him feel as though he were al home.
In speaking of his resignation as rector
of St PaulS, Mr.. Bishop said that owing
TO the fact that he was troubled with a
weak heart. the three years in this high
altitude had affected him to such an ex-
tent that it became necessary for MIN
to seek a lower altitude for his healIh's
sake. This. he said. was the only thing
that could induce him to leave Salt Lake.
1T is with the most sincere and deepest
regret said he, that I leave this city,
where, for three years. / have been en-
gagged in my work under the most pleas
ant and agreeable circumstances and
among people whose kindness and assist
ance ] can never forget
Mr.. Bishop said that his resignation
would take effect on the Monday after
Easter and that hs expected to start
about the middle of April for New York
where he expects to spend about a month
visiting his family before taking up his
work again. AS for his future plans, Mr.
Bishop said he had not decided yet

REPUBLICANS ARE ALARMED.
Wyoming Senate Passes the Anti
Gambling Bill.
Especial to The Herald.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 13.-The Re
publicans, evidently alarmed at the
protests which have gone up in all
parts of the state against their action
in delaying the anti gambling bill, to-
day reconsidered the bill in the senate
and passed II by a vote of II to Z.
The bill has gone to the house, where
an effort viii be made by the OppOsi-
ton to delay the action until it is too
late to pass the bill.
It is possible, however, that the Re
publicans, fearing defeat two years
hence, will pass the bill to save them
selves.
In the upper house progress on two
important measures was practically
stopped. and the bills will probably re-
main buried for the balance of the ses-
sion One of these was the representa-
tive apportiOnment bill, which, at one
time threatened to pTecipitate a, war in

which the bill was referred reported
today without recommendation, and in
all probability the present legislative
representation will hold good for some
time to come.

In line with the announcement in The
Herald that the Telluride Electric
Power company of Provo and the Her

presented yesterday to the county
commissioners by !. L. Mum, the chief
stakeholder and authorized representa-
tive of both companies, requesting a
franchise for constructing and operat-
ing an electrical transmission line of
poles and wires over the highways in
Salt Lake county. The petition was re-
ferred to the committee on roads, with
the county attorney associated.
That great things are contemplated
by the Hercules and Telluride Power
companies in competition with the Utah
Light & Power company and the Jor-
dan NarrOwS Power company, is dis
closed in Mr.. Nunn's petition. 1t is re
cited in the petition. as heretofore set
forth bv The Herald that the power
plant which derives its power from
Logan river and the one which is 10
Gated at the mouth Of Provo canyon

ergy of 14O00 horse power. in cOmbina-
ton for supplying the needs of consum-
ers in the counties of Cache, Weber,
Salt Lake, Davis, Morgan, Utah, Tooele
and Juab.
1t is stated that the purpose in view
is to supply current to the mines and
mills in the surrounding mining dis
( tricts and in order to effectuate the
plans maturing it is intended to extend
the pole line now penetrating the min
ing districts of Mercur and Tintic over

new pace. The grant was made on
condition that the telephone company

may fix. 1t was stated that the clause
means what it says, but it is believed
that the telephone company viii want

accepting the grant.

curious crowd that collected around a
couple of foreign CARRIED, foreign
tongued passengers who alighted from
a north bound train at 1853 D. m. yes

were natives of Italy, Of the city Of
Florence. where they are connected
with some daily newspaper. They gave
their names as Reiter and Galvani. and
their ages are about % and 40, respec-
lively
They are apparently the same pair
who recently visited Salt Lake
Both spoke English fuently. They
stated that they left Florence on July
5, 1899, on a wager of $4,000. The
StipulatiOns accompanying the wager
were as follows: The travellers must
make a tour of the world, Is 900 miles
every country of prominence on the
globe must be visited; travel by land
must be on a tandem, but in case of
illness or accident, any mode OF loco
motion desired may be Employed no
