A SALT LAKE PALACE.
Colonel and Mrs. Holmes Spend

For the Gardo House.

Few homes in America viii approach
in elegance and none will surpass the pal
ace Colonel and Mrs. +. F. Holmes are
equipping. according to ". J. Sinclair
of Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago, who
has the work in charge. Mr. Sinclair viii

work of installing the elaborate furnish

the last rug is in place and the final
tapestry hung sum ranging close TO
$1,000 will have been expended in fur
nishing the home once famous as the
Gardo house
The old house viii have passed through
a complete transition when Mr.. Sinclair
leaves. Last summer he was here to
take charge OF furnishing the heme OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George p. HOlmOn, and
during his stay has made many local
friends.
THE building viii pass through a CEN
fury without showing indications Of wear
and tear" he said last evening. In my
broad experience 1 have encountered few
structures built on lines that indicate
such possibility of endurance. The beau
tiful old woodwork has been enameled
in white New mantels have been in
stalled, and no expense has been spared
in making it attractive. The bOudOir is
furnished in the French style. Each
room belongs to an Independent school.
Louis XVI furniture and rich GOthlcS
abound. There is one Oriental den, where
thousands have been lavished, and other
thousands spent in a single corner.
THE dining room is, perhaps, without
a peer in the world. It is finished in rich
Belgium oak along Gothic lines and Is
simply wonderful Mrs. Holmes bOudOir
is simply a fairyiand Of beauty. The
same is true of many other rooms. Few
eastern homes, even the most famous,
approach the beauty of this western pal
ace.

a slow one and that it did not proceed
with dispatch. as directed.
AS to whether the fighting ships
should have been held back for the
Eagle, do not express an opinion be
fore this court" said Mr.. Hanna, and
then. with this sentence. he landed the
squadron twenty-five miles south Of
Santiago May e." he then took up the
retrograde movement. Mr.. Hanna
said there had been no explanation Of
the fact that the squadron had stopped
so far south of Santiago nor of the
circumstances that after passing the
longitude of Santiago he had contin-
ued to the eastward. except that on
the latter Admiral Schley had said he
was asleep.
Sigsbee's Visit to Schley.
II was at this point that the scout
boats St. Paul, Minneapolis and Yale
were encountered, and Mr.. Hanna re-
ferred 10 this incident, narrating Cap
tain Sigsbee's visit to Commodore
Schley on board the Brooklyn, and the
contradictory testimony concerning the
pCrport of the captains communica-
ton for himself and Captain Jewell
and Wise.
He quoted Captain Sigbee's testi-
mOny to the effect that he had not
told the commodore that the Spanish
fleet was not in Santiago, and also
gave Admiral Schley's version of the
interview, claiming that Sigsbee did
say that the Spaniards were not there.
Captain Sigsbee was an officer of ex-
peTience and knew very well that the
fact that he had not see the fleet was
not evidence that the fleet was not
there. If Captain Sigsbee had said
positively the fleet was not on the in
side Commodore Schley should have
refused to accept it as utterly illogical.
Continuing, Mr.. Hanna said:
Information of Spaniards.
Il should think that if Commodore
Schley had received information that
set his mind at rest sufficiently to war
rant his turning his squadron back to-
ward Key West, convinced him con-
elUsively that the Spanish fleet was
not there, he would surely have stated
that in his next telegram to the de-
partment."
At this point Mr.. Hanna took up
specification 4. referring to the retro
grade movement. He said that in
making this move Commodore Schley
had not only taken away from San
| 1agO the fighting ships of the flying
squadron, but also the scout vessels,
located there by the government to
watch the mouth Of the harbor.
During this time" he said, "the
gates Of the harbor were left entirely
unguarded, and it was not our fault
that Cervera's fleet did not get away
without being destroyed"
Mr.. Hanna had not completed his
argument when the court adjourned
for the day.

POSITIVE MISS
STONE Is DEAD
Say She Has SucCumbed to Rig
orouS Weather.
NO NEWS OF MISSIONARY
CRITICISMS OF THE ACTIONS
OF CONSUL DICKINSON.

New York, Nov. THE positive con-
viction that Miss Ellen NJ Stone is
dead is contained in 2 letter which
has just been received in Boston from
Ivan Radulof, a student who was
with the American missionary when
she was captured by bFigands in Tur-
key. together with Nine. TSilka, says
the Boston correspondent Of the Press
According 20 this letter, the snow in
the mountains into which Miss stone
and her companion were taken by their
captOrs was three feet deep three
weeks ago at the time the letter was
written. Even in the summer time
the snow upon the highest SUBMITS OF
these mountains does not melt. The
first snowfall usually comes about the
middle of September, and by the mid
die Of October the mountain passes are
absolutely closed to travel
It was the conviction among Miss
Stones friends in SamakOv. Bulgaria.
three weeks ago, that she could not
possibly have survived the TigOrs OF
her captivity until that date. There
was a hope that Miss Stone might have
been concealed by her captOrs in the
monastery of st. Ivan OF Sila, which
is near the Bulgarian-Turkish frontier
and on the Bulgarian side of it. So
great was the anxiety of the Bulgarian
government to do everything in its
power 10 assist the United States rep
resentatives in their effort to find the
missionary that they adopted the eX-
ceedingly unpopular method of search
ing the monastery. The search disclosed
the fact that Miss Stone had not been
there. The discovery was disapDoint-
ing To Miss Stones friends in Sama-
kOv.
According to the letter Of Ivan Rad
ulOff, Consul General Dickinson has re-
tarded the release Of Miss Stone Sc
riously. 1t is said that dr. Dickinson
by his criticism of the bulgarian gov
eminent, has antagonized the govern
ment.
Il is understood in Samakov that the
brigants who were in immediate
charge of the captive were under posi-
tive Instructions to take her life al

CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
Hitches That Keep Miss Stone Still
IN Captivity.

bitches That Keep Miss Stone Still
IN Captivity.
New York. Nov. 4-The hitch in the
negotiations fer Miss Stones release
arises from two causes; First, the
fierce antagonism between United
States Diplomatic Agent Dickinson and
Russian Minister Bakhmeteff; second,
the missionary and diplomatic disincli-
nation TO accede to the Origands' terms,
though moderated, says the Samakov
correspondent Of the Journal and Ad-
vertiser. The relations between NJ.
Bakhmetef and Mr.. Dickinson al e
strained to the breaking point The
former. being friendly to Bulgaria, does
not want his agent TO finish tie final
transactions on Bulgarian soil
Mr.. Berth, a Macedonian student at
the american institute at SamakCv,
one of the agents sent to negotiate
with the brigands, has returned from
Raslog. He reports that the brigands
consider Mr.. DickinsOn's money offer
as too small. They say that they don't
want to agree to terms that would dis
grace them with their brethren.
Discussing the amount of ransom,
Missionary Baird, purser of the Sama-
kOv institute, says: IF the brigands
set a quarter of what they still ask,
bands will spring up like mushrooms
Samakov itself viii furnish many and
Bulgaria Will be ruined. The briganCs
began negotiations with us by asking
twice Miss Stones weight in gold
Even a fourth Of this sum is pTeDos-
ferrous. If the Bulgarians mad either
crackers or blOOdhounds Miss Stone
would not be spending her sixty first
day with the brigands."

whether Miss Ellen NJ, Stone is still
alive. Two other brigands. we'll ac-

THEORY OF DR.. KOCH

New York, Nov. positive signs Of
tuberculosis have appeared in the COW
that was inOculated with germs by DR..
George d. Barney of Brooklyn several
days ago. DR.. Barney viii permit the
signs to become pronounced and Will

Dr. Barney is now certain that he has

man tuberculosis and bovine tubercU-
lOsis are not intercOmmunicabIe
The COW was inOculated by DR.. Bar
ney about ten days ago. on Satur-
day last it began to show fever, and
now all the known signs Of tuberculo-
