TO BRIDGE SALT LAKE.
Southern Pacific IN About to Build
Long Trestle Across 1t.
r,.n,o tba New York Sun


Long TrestIe Across 1t.
From the New York Sun.
One OF the most remarkable tasks OF
railroad engineering undertaken in the
West in recent years is about to be be-
pun by the Southern Pacific in Utah.
For the sake of saving Az miles the
railroad is about to build new line
1O5 miles long, and for part of the way
the road will run on a timber trestle
across 'the Great Salt Lake. 1t now
runs around the northern end of the
lake over a route bothered by many
sharp curves and heavy grades.
The work will take three years to
complete 1t calls for an expenditure
of $500. 900 year. The most formula
Bile part will be the building of the
trestle across the main body of the
lake. at a point where it is seven miles
across.
The lake bed is comprised first of
layer of fine sand from six to thirty
inches in depth. Then comes a hard
stratum of soda formation from a foot
to eighteen inches thick and after that
sand and blue clay alternately for an
indefinite depth.
The road will be built on piles driven
into this mass. The trestle will be built
high enough to allow for a rise of the
water which at this point is now about
thirty feet deep.
1t has been the experience on the lake
hitherto that sand tends to accumulate
around driven piles. If this should be
repeated here the result will be shall
lowing Of the water and increased Sc
curity along the road.
Besides saving time on the South
ern Pacific the construction of the line
will bring immense deposits of guano
on islands in Salt Lake within easy
reach of a market

Crime Among Ants.

must be permitted to cite a case
which Lombroso, the famous Italian
alienist- and criminalist, considered to
be a case of crime among ants.
In view dry weather, and in conse-
ouence of the lack of food, the fusca
slaves of a swarm of Polyergus ruff
cscens, which 1 had long been OBJ
serving began to grow impatient at
the obsession of the latter that called
for the food they were in want of.
A number of them began to nip and
bite a few of the Polyergus, ending
by carrying them as far from the
nest as they could, and there casting
them out. But ii was in vain, for the
Polyergus let them have their own
way, and got back to the nest ahead
Of them. The fusca repeated the per-
Torrance many times in succession,
ard with the same result-that at
tanned by Sisyphus. They became all
the more impatient, and unequivocally
manifesting their anger, they began to
nip numbers of the Polyergus and to
bite them. Angered at last, the latter
turned upon their slaves, and repeat
eddy threatened their heads with their
terrible poniard mandibles. Some OF
the fusca, more obstinate than the
others not having released their hold
when thus ordered. were stabbed In
cold blood In the head and thus done
to death.
If the "crime" was committed by
the Polyergus that alone were strong
enough to do So the primary inten-
ton of committing IL, and upon the
Polyergus, unquestionably came from
the fusca. The affair was regular
civil disturbance with fatal results.

agreed to in the Senate yesterday.
The resolution calls upon Mr.. Root to
inform the Senate when the department
or the commanding general of the army
received information regarding both the
orders referred to. and If either or both
of them have been countermanded, and
when.
Practically the resolution wishes TO
know what the attitude and action of the
department has been with regard to the
orders and the policies they represent.
The Democrats believe that the War
Department will acknowledge having
known and sanctioned both the Bell re-
concentration order and the Smith kill
and burn order from the time they were
issued.
This the Democrats would regard as a
distinct victory for them in view of SEN
ator Lodges statement on Tuesday that
he considers both abhorent.
In the House a similar resolution. Of
fered by Representative Burleson, was
also adopted. and without comment.

CLEVER CHILDREN
PRODUCE OPERBTTA
Perform in Princess Snow
White and the Dwarfs."
Production by Juveniles Crowds Parish
Hall of St. Stephens Sun
day School.

The interesting juvenile oPeretts
! princess SNOWY and the Dwarfs,
was given successfully last night by the
Mount Pleasant, and the parish hall
where the entertainment was held, was
crowded to suffocation with the friends
of the little performers
The operetta is written in four acts.
and the scenes are laid in the forest of
an imaginary kingdom, where nothing but
royalty and fairy-like creatures abound.
Story of Love.
It tells of the love of q prince for
beautiful princess. and the pursuit for evil
purposes of the latter by the queen re-
gent OF the unknown kingdom. The prin
cess is forced to fly for her life from to
palace and joins the dwarfs who inhabit
the forest, and they make her happiness
and preservation their chief object in
their queer little lives.
The operetta was staged in very good
form and the little folks deserve a great
amount Of credit for the excellent way in
which they acquitted themselves. They
we're thoroughly at home. and show great
promise for the future IL they should man
ifest a desire to do more serious work
along the lines of that of last night.
Clever Stage Work.
Miss Gertrude Carpenter essayed the
leading role of the Princess Snow White,
and displayed considerable dramatic abil
ity and an exceptionally sweet voice.
while Miss Lydia Machette. as the wicked
queen, shared the honors with her.
The other roles were interpreted by
Lawrence Green, Roger Paine. Eva Bur-
rell. Margery Buckingham, Eloise Pratt.

Succeeds Mr.. John D.
Long, of Massa-
chuSettS.
BUT FEW CHANGES LIKELY
Installation Conducted by Solicitor E.
P. Hanna, Who Figured in Schley
Court of Inquiry-But Few Officials
Present During Ceremony.

In simple but very impressive man
ner Mr.. William Henry Moody, of Massa-
chusetts, was formally installed in Of
fee yesterday as Secretary of the Navy.
At exactly 9:35 a. m. Mr.. Z. p Hanna
the solicitor of the Navy Department, who
was SO prominently identified with the
Schiey Court Of Inquiry. administered the
oath of Office to the new Secretary.
Only few officials were allowed to be
present when Mr.. Moody was sworn in
but Immediately after the conclusion of
the ceremony the Secretary held a recea-
tion to all OF the officers and clerks en-
pioyed in the Navy Department.
Arrives Early.
Mr.. Moody was at the Navy Department
shortly after 9 o'clock and was in con-
sultation with Mr.. John ID. Long. the now
ex-Secretary, until the half hour. Repre-
sentatives Roberts, Mccall. Green, and
Lawrence OF Massachusetts, arrived and
were witnesses to the swearing in of their
colleague.
The others present were Mr. John ID.
Long. who was the first TO congratulate
his successor: Assistant Secretary Darl-
ing. former Assistant Secretary Hackett.
Mr.. Fred W. Fishback, confidential clerk
10 Mr.. Moody, and Mr.. Cyrus Wells. pri-
waite secretary TO the Secretary of the
Navy.
II is said at the Navy Department thar
there have been few Secretaries who
made themselves as popular with both
officers and clerks as has Mr.. Long. Dur
ing his administration of affairs at the
Navy Department, which extends over a
period of more than five years, there
have been many notable and radical
changes made in naval matters, all of
which have looked 10 the betterment of
the service. The bureau chiefs of the
department declare that Mr.. Long has
done much in advancing the interests of
the navy, and that he has made an ex-
rellent Secretary in every respect.
Two Notable Reforms.
Probably the two most notable reforms
made during the administration OF Mr..
Long we're the personnel act, which
merged the line and staff into one and
placed officers OF the navy upon the same
footing as regards rank and pay as en-
joyed by officers or the army, and the
placing of hundreds of civil employees at
navy yards under the civil service.
A greater achievement, however. was
the preparation OF The navy OF the United
States for the war with Spain. Although
MIR. Long has been called 'peace-st-any- |
price man." this did not interfere with |
bis making strenuous efforts TO prepare 1

she surpasses even Carmencita.
The Countess Cassini's stay in Pekin
enabled her. in the Chinese figure, to
give a realistic representation OF the way
the young ladies of the Celestial Empire
dance and bow. especially bow. The figure
was merry imitation, but the piquant
little countess eclipsed the entire class
by sinking to the ground in a languorous
curtsy and bowling until her head touch
ed the floor.
Fifty Couples in Cotillion.
The cotillion began at 10 O'Clock and
was danced by fifty couples, led by MIR.
Mailer. The majority of the younger
guests we're in fancy dress. many of them
in the marquise dress of powdered hair
and tuck-ups. similar 10 the costumes
worn by the minuet dancers at the en-
tertainment given at Chase's Opera

ton Of Mrs. Barney.
Among those present. in addition TO
