Huge pumpkins. mammoth squashes,
gigantic potatoes, fruit galore, fat
stock, growing roosters. splendid horses
and Utah's home industries tastefully
arranged are not the least Of the at
fractions which were thrown open TO
the public at / o'clock this afternoon
on the occasion of the Twenty sixth
exhibition OF the Deseret Agricultural
and Manufacturing society. From now
on for a solid week the show will un.
doubtedly be patronized by thousands
The opening ceremony was very
brief, President Empey simply walk
ing into the manufacturers building
at the time indicated, and declaring
the fair TO be opened.
Despite the threatening weather the
crowds began to arrive shortly after
1880. with indications that there will
be close upon 5000 visit the grounds
providing the weather does not become
too threatening Most Of those who
came this afternoon had the horse
races In view. with whirl around the
Midway to follow. While there is still
a lot of work to be done in putting on
finishing touches to the exhibits every
thing win undoubtedly be in place by
8 p. m
AS 1t is. the fair this year is a good
one aside from the attractions that
have been furnished by the manage
ment for the entertainment OF the Wis
itors. owing to the rain the grounds
are free from dust and everything looks
green and fresh. The exhibits, too.
show marked Improvement over those
of last year and they are displayed
with taste and in some cases in a novel
manner
The erection of building for the
fruit and vegetable displays also is n
step in the right direction, while words
OF praise are heard from the poultry,
sheep and swine owners for the manner
in which the accommodation Of the
stock is this year provided.
There is plenty Of room In which to
show OFF the points OF the animals,
while the stock, owing to the new
buildings erected, are kept out of the
heretofore risky draughts and generally
protected from any cold breezes that
may come up.

JAPAN SENDS
TROOPS TO COREA
Move is Regarded as Relating to
Russias Proposition to Vacate
Manchuria Oct. s.
MAY ACCENTUATE SITUATION.
In View of All the Conditions it is
Looked Upon as a Most Sig
nificant Step.

Paris, Oct 1.-According to reliable
information received here Japan has
decided to send two regiments OF in
fantry to Corea. This is regarded in
authoritative quarters as being most
important step as affecting Russo
japanese relations and as likely to ac-
centuate the possibilities Of war
crisis Japan's decision is considered
TO be directly related to Russia's prop
osition to evacuate Manchuria oct. s.
II is now accepted in the highest quar-
tiers that this evacuation Is impossible
of accomplishment as China has not
signed the terms on which Russia con-
ditioned her evacuation.
The advices received show that China
declines 10 continue the present Russia
status quo In Manchuria rather than
commit herself to finally signing the
proposed agreement. In view of these
conditions, Japan's decision to send
troops to Corea is regarded a sbeing a
most significant step
The advice further show that the war
spirit In japan has materially aug
mented during the last fortnight.

The handsome new residence Of Fer

fore the department reached the scene,
however, the ilames had been pretty
well eXtinguished by VIII kigham, an
eX-ireman, who resides Just across the
street, He happened to be home when
the fire was discovered and lost no time
in getting a stream OF water from a gar

In short time the house was flied
with smoke, IL is estimated that the
loss on the place VIII not exceed So or
so.
There seems to be good reason to be-
lieVe that deliberate attempt was
made to G9e the place, but who the re-
sponsible person u.s. has yet to be dis
covered. After the blaze had been ex-
tinguished there was great deal OF
excitement In the nelghborhood and all
that a man had been seen hanging
about the place Just before the FIRE and
that when little boy spoke to him he
struck the lad with a club and knock

the place had been saturated with coal
Oil. The matter was reported TO Chief
DeVine and Assistant Chief Wood this
morning and they at once started rig
Id investigation
The nremen were positive that no
coaloil had been used In firing the
building because they are sure they
would have detected the fumes thereof.
Inquiry was made all over the neigh
borhood this morning and It was learn
ed by News" reporter that n strange
man was seen 10 jump out of west
window and disappear rapidly up the
street.

by a crash of falling GLASS A little girl
declared that someone had thrown "a
rock at her and that It had crashed
through a window. The children ran
screaming into the house and told Mrs
Scott what had happened. At first Il
was thought the rock had been thrown
by one OF crowd Of boys who had been

ton was started and In few minutes
one of the children ran to Mrs. Scott
and told her that she had seen a man
jump out OF a west window of Mr. Coal
ter's house. A moment later the blaze
was discovered and an alarm turned IN.
Several persons claim to have seen the
man but none Of them got a good look
at him. They all declared that after
jumping out Of the window he disap-

The case is being thoroughly lnvesti-

probable that arrests viii follow.

The simultaneous execution of three
