Pratt for Chief Deputy if Calls
ter is Collector.

Many politicians have been wonder
ing lately over the sudden and growing
intimacy between Arthur Pratt and the
Silver King push The secret has
leaked out. Chief Pratt is going to be
chief deputy if Ed Callister is appointed
revenue collector. and he doesn't want
the Kingites to do any knocking
against Callister.
The chief deputyship is about the
latest thing at the disposal of the col
lector. 1t pays a salary of 1900 per
year, and it would come in mighty
handy to Chief Pratt at the earliest
possible convenience of the powers that
be. It would also be convenient for
Mr.. Caliister. With Pratt to run the
Office he could go right along tending
to his sheep and his printing business,
and pause only long enough to draw
his salary once a month, or such a
matter.
But it is by no means certain as yet
that Mr.. CalIister will be collector. The
fight between the state chairman and
DR.. Parkinson of Idaho has reached the

Although England, Japan, Germany,

Marseilles, March IA mob of sea-
men and stokers, who Joined the strike
of dock laborers, marched to the docks
this morning and endeavored to in
duce the. crews to quit the steamers.
There was some disorder before the
strikers were dispersed by the police.
The steamship companies are ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in re-
cruiting laborers, and a number of
ships, which have arrived since the
strike began, have been compelled to
proceed without discharging their car
goes. The Peninsula & Oriental
Steam Navigation company's steamer
Golconda, from London. proceeded for
India without discharging cargo con-
signed to Marseilles, and the same COM
pany's steamer Himalaya, from COlom-
DO, proceeded for London, unable to
discharge 1000 bales of silk.

SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH.
South Carolina Grand Jury to Inves-
tigate the Matter

C1SaCe the matter.
Columbia, S. c., March 2-Unusual
revelations are expected today when
the grand jury of Anderson county re-
ports to a special setting of the court
upon the investigation ordered Feb. 10,
by General Jeanette. The following
facts will be brought to the attention
of the court:
That in the convict penitentiaries in
Anderson county are found negroes
guiltless of any greater crime than re
fuSing to comply with labor contracts
which demanded absolute slavery.
These contracts should not have been
held lawful and the negroes, though
never taken before a magistrate, were
by physical force kept in bondage and
made to work as felons. The contracts
signed by these ignorant negroes were
negotiable papers. A land owner hav-
ing a negro bound to him for a years
work could sell his contract to a third
party.
The attention of the court was direct
ed to this matter by evidence in the
trial of Charles Newell. planter.
whose farms are worked by convicts
Newell was charged with murder hav-
ing shot Will Hull, a negro trying to
escape from his stockade, when it YVES
shown that the negro had never been
convicted of a crime before a magis-
trate or a. judge.

acute stage. Mr.. Callister has en-
dorsements from seventeen of the nine

He hasn't, however, received so much
as a pleasant smile from Governor
Wells, Mayor Thompson, Ed Loose,
Reed Smoot, President Snow and others
who are quite close to Senator kearnS.
All, or most of these gentlemen, have
endorsed DR.. Parkinson. Senator
Kearns is known to have a-leaning to

that he came down here and aided in

Girl Killed in Kansas City Loved
Salt lake Boy.

The press dispatches from Kansas
City yesterday give an account of the
killing of a Miss Ruth Noliard of that
city by a young man by the name of
Bud Taylor 1t develops that the dead
girl was a sweetheart of a young man
of this city by the name of Harry
Jones. Inquiry at the home of Mr..
Jones, 23S Wall street. found this young
man out of the city at the present
time. his parents stating that he had
left a few days ago for Provo, and
since that time they had not heard
from him.
A friend of Harry's in Kansas City
wired him of the fate of his sweetheart
as soon as she was killed, and the tele-
gram was forwarded by his parents,
but up until a late hour yesterday they

Young Jones met Miss Nollard in Kan

they think the couple were very fond
of each other.
1t was understood at home t at Harry
had a. very strong rival in Kansas City
who sought the affections of Miss Mol
lard, but that they were not returned,
and it is thought that this was the
cause of the killing. Undoubtedly the
news of his sweetheart's death will be
a severe blow to Jones, who. from all
outward appearances, thought the
world of her. The young man is Is
years old, and when last in the city,
was employed at the Knutsford hotel.

thought something was the matter with
him. The sergeant took a good look
at him and then walked over to the
phone and called DR.. King. The doc
tor arrived, and, taking one glance, said
it was smallpox of the virulent type.
There was a rapid flight of all those
present, while the doctor sent Foreman
into the back yard and called a wagon
to haul the man out to the pest house.
At first there was some talk Of quar-
antining the station, but on second con-
Sideration the doctor decided on thor
ough diSinfection. The room which the
man entered was closed for the rest of
the day, and the strong odor of formal
dehyde permeated the surrounding at
mosphere for some time.
Foreman is well known about the
town, being a sta bleman by occupa-
ton.

SAMPSON Is SCORED.
Chicago Federation of Labor Espouses
Gunner Morgan's Cause.

Chicago, March. 3.-The Chicago
Federation of Labor, at meeting to
day, adopted "a series of resolutions es-
pousfng the cause of Gunner Charles
Morgan, who is seeking promotion in
the United States navy. The resOlu-
tions adopted. which will be forwarded
to President Mckinley, declare it to be
one of the fundamental principles of
this government that there should be
no class distinction and that the Chi
ago Federation of Labor, representing
more than 100000 toilers of this city,
does unqualifiedly condemn and en-
phatically protest against the assump-.
ton put forth by Admiral Sampson,
that restrictions should be put upon
the honorable aspiration of Gunner
Morgan, who sought at the hands of
said Sampson favorable endorsement of
his application for promotion to a
commission and received instead a
cruel and Outrag eOuS insult
The resolution further criticised Ad-
miral Sampson for his stand in the
matter.
