sMooT NOMINATED.
Selected BY Republican Members OF
Utah Legislature For Senator.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 15-At caucus

ture Wednesday night Reed Smoot, of
Provo, an apostle in the Mormon
church, was chosen as the republican
nominee for United States senator, to
succeed Senator Joseph T. Rawlins,
whose term of Office will expire March
3, next. This nomination is equivalent
to an election.
Wednesdays caucus was attended by
all but seven of the republican mem
bers of the legislature. The only bal
lot resulted:
Reed Smoot, 35; Congressman Geo.
Sutherland, 6; George NJ Cannon, q;
Gov. Heber M. Wells, g The three last

imous. Reed Smoot was born in Salt
Lake City in January, 1852 He has
been since 1888 member of the coun-
Gil of twelve apostles of the Mormon
church and therefore is in line for the
presidency of the church. Mr.. Smoot

THE NEGOTIATIONS.
Blockade Must Be Lifted Before
Protocol is Prepared.
II Has Already Put Its Full Moral In
fluence Upon Castro and Longer
Punishment Would Serve No
Useful Purposes.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Advices re-
ceived here indicate that while Minis.
ter Bowen comes as Venezuela's COM
missioner in negotiations looking to a
settlement of the claims of the allies.
President Castro has made it condi
ton that the blockade shall be raised
before Mr.. Bowen proceeds with the
preparation of the protocol for the
peaceful adjustment of the claims.
: Moreover it now develops that in this
request Venezuela is likely to have the
support of Italy. The United States,
though not party to the negotiations,
OF course, will throw the weight of it's
moral influence on the same side. The
Italian government is Influenced in its
course by purely economic considera
tons. 1t does not desire to crush We
nezuela, but simply to procure the 70
payment of claims. The continuance
of the blockade, by sapping the very
life out of the country, threatens to
make it impossible for Venezuela to
pay these claims within any reason
able period of time, so that any judg-
;nent rendered against her by private
arrangement or by Tire Hague tribunal
would be hollow and almost without
results. Furthermore it is held by
Italy that there is really no sufficient
reason for continuance of the block
ade, which is working great harm to
trade, as it already has put its full
moral influence upon Castro and longer
punishment would serve no useful pur
pose. in the Italian view. The Italian
government, it is stated, remains thor
Oughly loyal to the alliance into which
it has entered with Germany and Great
Britain, but that fact, it is held, not
necessarily operates to prevent Italy
from using her moral influence to have
the alliance do what it regards as
right, while still keeping within its
lines.
London, Jan. ia lengthy com.
munication, supposed to be in the ma
ture of a reply to President Castro's
last note, was handed to the United
States embassy by the foreign Office
Monday. The negotiations are pro-
ceding satisfactorily.
Berlin, Jan. 13.-The Lokal An.
zeiger Monday publishes dispatch
from La Guayra saying that President
Castro was unable to supply Minister
Bowen with cash for his special mis-
sion to Washington, and that Mr.. Bow
en-, before sailing, obtained $4,000 from
the foreign business houses upon Pres
ident Castro's bills.

THE ICE GAVE WAY.
Three Skaters Drowned Near the
Washington Monument.

Washington, Jan. 15.-While large
crowd was skating on the bathing ba-
sin near the Washington monument
Wednesday evening the ice gave way
and precipitated 20 or more persons in
the water. Miss Jessie c. Thomas, 20
years old, employed as a clerk in the
bureau of ethnology, died at the Elmer
gency hospital. Eight other persons
were treated at the Emergency hospi-
tai and recovered.
Later the two dead men were iden-
titled as Arthur Wasserbach, an en-
ploye of Une bureau of engraving and
printing, and Henry G. Hamill, clerk
in the war department.
Wasserbach was a native of Wash
ingtOn; Hamill is from Michigan, and
Miss Thomas, previously to year ago
had lived in Frederick, Md.
There were probably 1000 persons
skating on the basin at the time of the
accident. A hot water pipe from the
engine room of the Washington mon
nment empties into the basin near
where the ice gave way. The skaters
had been warned that the spot was
dangerous, but it is said they disre.
garded the advice, and when the crash
came 80 men and women went through
the ice into the water.

THE LARGE COAL DEALERS.
Damaging Testimony Given Against
Them at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 14-Proof of how the
large coal dealer sought to compel the
small dealer to sell coal at the price
quoted by the alleged combine reached
the special grand jury Tuesday after
noon, when Henry Peterson, one of the
small dealers testified. According to
Peterson. he visited the offices of a
large coal company some time ago and
was given a price list He had been
purchasing his coal from this company
and was instructed, he declared, to sell
the coal at $40 a ton. He had a mum,
Der of customers whom he knew could
not afford to pay such prices, and he
sold them the coal at the cost price
without deducting the cost of hauling.
AS punishment for doing this Peter
son claimed that the company refused
to sell him any more coal and he has
not been able to buy any since from
any of the other large dealers because
of word sent out that he would not
keep up the price.

OHIO COAL MINES.
Suits Filed in Supreme Court to Gust
the Companies From Their Charters.


Columbus, o., Jan. 15.-The quiet in
vestigation that Gov Nash has been
making of the coal situation for sew
eral days ripened into fruit Wednes-
day afternoon, when Attorney General
Sheets filed in the supreme court at
the instigation of the governor quo
warranto suits against six big coal
companies to GUST them from their
charters
The companies against which suits
are brought are these: The New
Pittsburg Coal Co., the Sunday Creek
Coal Co., the. General Hooking Fuel
Co., the Congo Coal Co., the Inter-
State Coal Co., and the Hooking Coal
and Iron Co.
No railroad company is implicated
in the cases, nor are any suits brought
against any such company. Judge
Sheets said that he had carefully in
quired into the situation and was sure
that no railroad company was in the
combination
1t is charged in the petitions that
these companies have entered into a
conspiracy to limit the output of coal
and increase and generally control the
prices. It is further charged that they
have disseminated in favor of Colum-
bus and against other cities of the
state, selling coal at about dollar
and quarter a ton cheaper than else
where.
The suits are brought under the Val
entine antitrust act.
