FOR BRIDAL
PRESENTS!

What must 1 give? That's the
question which may have kept your
brain straining for days. Here's a
happy suggestion. Nothing could be
more appropriate than Cut Glass or
Silver Articles. Both are highly
priced by all women, especially young
housewives. We have in the present
display scores of elegant novelties for
domestic and personal decoration and
utility. The collection of cut glass and
Silver is exceptionally interesting to
all who contemplate the bestowal OF a
bridal gift.

the governor. At $40 Senator Law
renee announced that he had received
word from the governor that it would
be 1870 before the executive would be
ready to send the appropriation bill
back, and the senate sauntered until
that hour.
On reassembling the senate was noti-
fed that the governor was ready to ap-

changes was given and the senate

The recess was filed in by a talk
from Committee Clerk Howard. who
thanked the senate for faVors conferred
on him and by one of the newspaper
men, who told of the appreciation of
himself and his co-wOrkers for courte-
sizes extended. Then came the execu-

In the course of a later telegram, DR..
Morrison says: Chinese officials say

claims to exclusive rights in Mongolia
and Turkestan. and consents TO modify
the stringency of her control of the
civil administration of Manchuria,

This is the first check inflicted upon
Russian diplomacy in China since Lord
Salisbury was cajoled into the with

vincing the Chinese that there still eX-

change in the situation developed by
the AnglO-Russian railway dispute

guards have been reduced to twenty
seven on each side, in order TO prevent
any possible collision during the ne

sENATE,S LAST DAY.
Two Bills and a Joint Memorial
Passed

Just as the joint building clock
doomed out the first stroke of last
midnight. Senator George Lawrence
was recognized by President Evans.
81 move that the senate do now ad-
journ sine die he said. Nearly every
senator present seconded the motion
and President Evans declared it car
ried without the formality OF asking
for the negatives.
The last business was a communica-
ton from the governor, following the
executive session on appointments.
Senator Lawrence had been appointed
a committee to visit the executive and
ask if he had anything further to COM
municate TO the senate. In a few min
utes the reply neatly typewriter and
evidently prepared in advance, came
back. The governor said he had moth
ing further to say to the senate. He
thanked the members for their dill
gence in the transaction of the peoples
business and wished them god-speed to
their homes.
There was mighty little business
transacted by the senate at yesterdays
sessions It was a case Of work ten
minutes and saunter ten minutes. the
saunterings being relieved by the sing
ing of old familiar songs in which

tune or not
The only real business was the pass
age of a house joint memorial, the
approval of some changes suggested
by the governor in the appropria ton
bill and the passage of two nlea sures-
The memorial was one asking congress
to throw open the Uintah Indian res
ervation to settlement.

to compel owners of mines having only

he wouldn't be his choice for a mem
bership on the land board. He claimed
to be a Democrat however, and Sen
ator Love knew he stumped for the
Democratic ticket two years ago. What
he did last fall the senator from Sugar
ward didn't know.
Sorenson was turned down by an al
most unanimous vote. Then Byron
GrOO and HerShel Bullen were con-
hrmed unanimously and a communica-
ton was sent to the governor an
nOuncing that SOrensen and Bracken
had been rejected. The senate didn't
have long to wait. Within few min
utes, so sooR. in fact, that it almost
looked as if the executive were looking
for what had happened and had the
new appointments already filed out, a
communication came from him naming
Rees and Melville. They were con-
t1rmed at the same time by a unan-
imous vote and only a short time later
the senate adjourned without day.
Appointments Delayed.
The governor made no appointments
TO the offices of state engineer and FISH
and game commissioner. New laws
governing these Offices have been
passed by the present legislature and
Will not become effective for sixty days.
AS the appointments must be made
under these new laws, the places will
not be filed until they become effective.
The appointment of state statistician is
delayed for the same reason.

Inclined Toward Arbitration.

The South American republics have
shown a strong inclination toward ar
bitratiOn in the settlement of their fire.
quent boundary difficulties and there
is a tendency to adopt this method
quite generally. and if possible, univer-
sally, to avoid border conflicts and their
menace of war. Some Of those inter-
ested in the congress have hoped to see
it bring results similar to The Hague
congress, with a permanent court Of
arbitration for the western republics
like that at The Hague for interna tionaI
conflicts in which the countries of Eu-
rope and the United States might be
involved. None of the southern repub-
lies were represented at The Hague
conference.
The sentiment for arbitration was
strong in the last South American con-
greSs and in the recent congress at
Madrid it again took form. At the
same time it has been understood that
Chilli might not desire to participate if
the subject was to be discussed in such
form as TO involve the pending cOntro-
Versy between Chilli, Peru and Bolivia
In signifying her purpose to accept
the Gillian authorities said in sub
stance that it would be conditional
upon the discussion of no topics which
would involve pending questions in
which that country was concerned.
From this it has been inferred that the
particular question desired to be elimi-
mated is that now in sharp dispute be-
tween Chilli and Peru.
on the other hand Peru looks forward
quite confidently to the congress as a
means of presenting her view of this
long pending conflict. But in any event
it is not expected that a subject of the
magnitude of arbitration can be entire
" eliminated from a congress of this
character.
Besides this topic it is expected that
the congress will deal with CONNER
Cial affairs Of interest to this country
and the other republics. developing
means for thorough co-opera ton and
mutual expansion of trade. To some
extent also the gathering will have a
broad political aspect, indicating the
fraternity which exists among the re-
publics of the western hemisphere.
