1T is true. as has heretofore been
officially stated. that the conductors and
trainmen contemplate presenting re-
quests for increased wages to lines in
the western territory within short
time, but the procedure will be regular

established rules and customs of the
Order of Railway Conductors and
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
Other individual organizations in diff

similar requests in course Of prepara-

MOSQUITO CARRIES
DEATH IN ITS BILL

Washington. Dec. 4.-The sanitary
conference of American republics,
which has been in session here since
Tuesday, came TO an end tonight. San
tiago de Chile was selected as the place
of the next meeting. which will occur
March Is. 1904.
The mosquito came in for a good
share of attention during the closing
session and several resolutions bearing
en- the subject of infection were adop-
ted. One of these, offered by DR.. Ar
thur r. Reynolds of Chicago, urged
the different governments to study in
their respective territories the geo.
graphical distribution of the mosquito.
A resolution offered by Dr. Guiteras
of Cuba is of broader scope. and in a
measure makes the statement that the
insect is the one factor in the COM
municatiOn of yellow fever.

TRIED AND CONVICTED
UNDER SPANISH LAWS

San Francisco, Dec. Edward John
son, a citizen of this state, through his
attorney, has petitiOned the supreme.
court Of the District of Columbia for
a writ of habeas corpus. Johnson,
with two others, was convicted of rob-
berry on the island of Guam and sen
fenced to long terms. The three men
were seamen in the American navy, and
JOhnsOn's petition states that they were
tried under the laws of Spain, in spite
of the fact that Guam was American
territory at the time of the commission
of the crime. Johnson's attorney claims
that the courts of Spain lacked iuris-
diction, and asks that johnson be given
an opportunity to show why he should

GRUESOME DISCOVERY
Badly 0eComposed Remains of a
Man Found in Taylor Pond
Near MarysvaIe.
lspecial 10 Nc Herald.l

Marysvale, Utah, Dec. AT about
$3.50 this afternoon Bernard Sorenson,
while hunting water cress in the
springs north of the Taylor pond and
near the Rio Grande Western tracks,
discovered the remains of an unknown
man. The pond is distant about a half
mile north of town. and is frequented
by carp hunters. The body was dis
tant from the bank about fifteen feet
and lay face up in the water, only half
of the remains being submerged. II
must have been there a long time, as
the birds had stripped the flesh from
the exposed parts. The remains are
believed to be those of a demented man
who stopped at the Bullion hotel here
last June and wandered away during
the night. 1t was dark when the re-
mains were recovered, and the inquest
was adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing, when a thorough investigation will
be made.

WESTERN COMPANY
RAISES SUGAR PRICE

San Francisco, Dec 4-The West
ern Sugar Refining company today sent
out circulars to all the wholesale gro
Gerry houses in California, Oregon, Ne
yada and Washington, notifying them
that until further notice the price of
all grades of refined sugar would stand
advanced 40 cents per 100 pounds. All
grades of refined sugar were advanced
10 points in New York yesterday, an
action which apparently caused the in
crease of prices here today Local
dealers say there would be no great
surprise occasioned were the Western
company to elevate prices again in the
near future. as the market here is still
30 cents per 100 pounds less than the
rates in New York, which is an IN
usual condition, as sugar prices are
generally lower in New York than in

HENDRIX
WOUNDED, BUT ALIVE

Manila. Dec. 4-Captain Pershing has
located what is left of a fleet of small
gunbOats which the Spaniards sank in
Lake Lanoa, island of MindanaO, in 1898.
While returning from IIigan to Camp
Vickars, friendly Moros guided the
captain to a point where some por-
tons of the wrecks were visible. An
effort will probably be made to raise
the vessels.
COnstabulary Inspector Hendrix, who
was reported to have been killed in
Samar, has been found alive, though
badly wounded. After the fight with
the ladrones, on Nov. %, the inspector
wandered through the jungle for nearly
a week and his wounds became gan
grened, but he is expected to recover.

UNION OR THEIR JOBS

Buffalo. Dec. "A special to the
News from Suspension Bridge says
that men are being brought there to
take the places of a number of Michi-
gan Central freight clerks, who are
said to have resigned their positions
rather than give up membership in
their labor union. Superintendent
Morford OF st. Thomas is at Suspen-
sion Bridge. He brought with him
eight men from Detroit, but when they
learned the condition of affairs they
refused to stay. The Detroit clerks
stated that they were given to under
stand that there was a blockade of

NAVAL WAR CAME BEGINS WITH THE

Port of Spain. Island of Trinidad.
Wednesday, Dec. 3.-Rear Admiral
Sumner has issued an order with re-
spect to the neutrality of Trinidad.
With the departure of the gunbOat
Eagle this morning communication
with the shore ceased, and from now
on the movements of the "enemy's"
squadron will be cloaked in mystery.
While Admiral Sumner has not indi-
Gated when he proposes to sail, the I'M

Consequently Admiral Sumner pro-
poses, when out of sight OF land, to
chance his course and speed and then
proceed to the port chosen for the
scene of the attack.
1t is often the case that the course
of warships is followed by boxes and
other refuse thrown overheard. There
fore, Admiral Sumner has decided that
such debris must be put IN condition
TO sink Immediately when thrown into
the sea, or that it be burned. New code
signals for use day and night have
been arranged, in order to prevent their
being read by Admiral Higginson's
scouts.
Though his squadron is stronger than
the one commanded by Admiral Ger
vera, Admiral Sumner declares that the
problem before him is more difficult
than that of the Spaniards, as the lat
ter were able to choose ports in Cuba
as well as in Porto Rico and Culebra.
Moreover, the Spaniards moved from
the Cape Verde islands. while Admiral
Summers command is close and is linn
tied in regard to time.

Last Until the 10th.
Havana, Dec 4.-The reciprocity ne
gotiations between General Tasker
Bliss and the Cuban secretaries. ZaldO
and Monies, is practically at a stand
still, owing TO the latter desiring to
await the outcome of the bill intro
duced in the house of representa- tives
providing for the appointment of a
committee to draw up a bill defining
the limits of the concessions which the
Cuban government can offer foreign
countries in negotiating reciprocity
treaties. A committee of the house
began the study of the question today.
1t is known that Secretaries ZaldO and
Monies have reached a satisfactory
agreement with General Bliss and that
practically all that is left to be done
they do not wish to assume any re-
sponsibility, especially since the recent
cabinet crises, and in view of the ap-
parent determination on the part of
the nationalist party TO oppose the
government.
The natiOnalists claim to control the
house, and the bill referred to is a
nationalist measure. In a discussion
in the senate today on the question,
Senior Sanguilly said an agreement
signed by Senior Palma and Secrets-
ries Zaldo and Monies would not be
binding, and that the matter must be
brought before both houses of parlia-
ment Congress, he said, should be in
formed regarding the particulars of the
proposed treaty in order that it might
intelligently discuss the changes in the
tariff.

passed through Boca Grande, going
slowly. There is no satisfactory indi-
cation as to the course the squadron
will pursue. All the warships had a
low freebOard, which, is evidence that
they are filled with coal and ammuni-
ton. A collier carrying 500 tons Of
coal discharged its entire cargo into
the various vessels, which also re-
ceived provisions and ammunition from

pared to make a dash to seize a base

final success of the movement prevails

WILL STUDY THE CASES.
Postofice Department Has Modified
It's Policy.

Washington, Dec 4.-The decisions of
the district court of appeals yesterday
in the seeond-class mail reform cases
will be studied carefully by the post
Office department officials before any
definite conclusion is reached as to the
future policy in reference to re-elassi-
fication reforms. Postmaster General
Payne today expressed the opinion that
in view of the fact that one of the
decisions was in favor of the govern
ment and the other two adverse, and
that a number of other cases are now
pending in the lower courts, each case
of exclusion or proposed exclusion of d
publication from the second-class pro-
visions would have TO be determined by
itself, and that no general rule could
be laid down under present conditions.
The department some time ago sus-
pended its aggressive exclusion policy
pending a determine ton of the issues
in court, and this situation viii con-
tinue for the present.

Evanston, WyO., Dec Had bomb
exploded in Evanston no more surprise
could have been caused than by the
announcement from Washington today
that the secretary of the interior had
decided the Spring valley oil land con-
test case, which was brought by the
American Consolidated Oil company
against the Union Pacific railroad to
prove that the land in question was
more valuable for oil mining than for
other purposes, in favor Of the railroad
company. The character Of the ground,
and the indisputable proof Of the ex-
istence of oil in paying quantities ap-
peared to be sufficient ground for the
awarding of a verdict for the oil COM
pany, and with this belief, not only the
American company. but many other
concerns have gone ahead with devel-
opment work and have spent thousands
of dollars in the vicinity of Spring val
