Clash Over Right Of Way
in Utah.

London, April 20.-War and politics
have taken back seat for a day thru
out the United Kingdom, where the sole
absorbing topic of national Importance
is the great football match at Crystal
Palace for possession of the association
cup. The Sheffield United and Totten-
ham Hotspurs are the two teams COM
peting in the final.
The extraordinary interest annually
shown in the contest zig heightened by
the fact that not only is today's battle
between the north and south, but 1t is
twenty years since a London club has
figured in the final. The influx from
the provincestto London beats all rec
orde. Sixty special trains today emp
tied into London thousands of enthusi-
asts from oil parts of the provinces and
bewildeerd commanders of northerners
travelled all night long without sleep to
witness the game. 1t is safe to say
10000 provincials of all sorts and condi-
tions arrived in the metropolis this
morning and proceeded in a steady
London's quota 10o.000sis a moderate es-
innate of the number of spectators who
will witness the game.
That Gargantaan feasting is antici-
pated may be gathered from perusal
of few of the principal items of the
lists of edibles prepared at the palace,
which includes thirty cattle, fifty sheep.
500 fowls, 22.400 pounds of potatoes 10,-
COO pork piesQand iess substantial arti-
cles sufficient for an army corps.

said last night: THE people of San
Domingo do not look kindly on Aneri-
cans They resent the mere suggestion
of annexation. We do not want them.
They labor one day week and wonder
why they do not get on. They have a
dislike for commerce and discourage it.
Removal of the export duty on sugar
last week seems to be a step in the di-
srection of progress. That tax yielded
the government 100000 yearly was
amazed at the number,of deserted farms
where good soil is common and yellow
