London.-The continued existence of
the present government, after the past
eventful week In parliament, creates
surprise even among its most faithful
supporters. Premier Balfour kept his
cabinet In power by majority of 46,
gained at the expense Of what Is uni.
versally admitted to be personal de.
feat for the premier. For the first time
since the fiscal question became live
berlain's followers showed their inten-
tons and strength. No less than ITO
members of the house of commons put
themselves On record as willing to turn
over Balfour rather than sacrifice their
adherence to Mr.. Chamberlain's out
and out protectionist principles. As a
result Mr.. Balfour has foregone his per-
sonal policy Of retaliation and retains
office only by the support of those
members of parliament who openly up
hold preferential and protective duties.
London, March 10. - Premier Bal.
four's government has been defeated
in the house of commons by the COM
bined liberal and nationalist vote.
This reverse was due to the prohibi-
ton by Mr.. Wyndham, secretary for
Ireland, of teh teaching of Gaelic in
the junior grades of the Irish nation
alist schools. Mr.. Balfour, although
defeated by majority on this question.
does not regard the vote as one Of a
want of confidence, and he will not re-
sign on this account. His determine.
ton not to resign was strengthened by
the fact that shortly after the foregoing
defeat he was able to secure majority
Of 25.

ITEMS ABOUT PANAMA CANAL
Experts Say It Will be Nearly Twenty
Years Before 1t 10 Finished.

Years before 1t IL Finished.
The members Of the Panama COM
mission will receive rs compensation
Sl2, 900 a year and SIS day extra
while they are on the isthmus. II cor.
responding salaries are paid to those
connected with the work, it is quite
certain that the total bill when the
work has been finished will be large
one. Expert engineers have figured
that 1t will be from IA to 30 years be-
fore ships will be able to pass through
the waterway. Before the canal is
completed the United States govern
ment will probably have expended
$3.50, 0O, 900. The estimate of the ac-
tural cost of construction is $l46, 000,-
900.
The amount to be paid the French
company is $40, 1000, 900 and TO the
Panama republic $40, 900 900, besides
a large annual rent.
In addition to this, there will be
many incidentals, besides considerable
loss of life through accidents, cpl
denies and exposure The canal will
have winding channel 90 miles in
length. 1t will be $50 feet wide and
have depth sufficient to float any ves-
sci now OH the sea.
There will be three locks at each end
and the highest level above the tide
water will be 80 feet. The heaviest
grading will be at the Culebra cut,
where the maximum depth to be dug
is $50 feet for a distance of from nine
to II miles.
Rear Admiral Walker says he be-
ileved that work could begun in two
or three months. By this time, he said
the question of title would be cleared
and transfer made to the United
States. The French company now has
about 800 laborers at work on the Gull
bera cut and this work will be con-
tinued. He says the laborers of the
tropics all use alcholol'c beverages and
that it would be impossible to obtain
or retain laborers for this work il the
sale of liquors WAS prohibited.
Speaking of the GLASS of labor that
it would be necessary to employ in the
canal work, he says that the blacks
from Jamica were undoubtedly the best
fitted class obtainable in the vicinity
Of the canal zone. But there were not
enough of them and ooolie labor from
China and Japan would have to b
brought over for this work. He est.
mated that the maximum number Of
laborers needed would be some $4,000
Other laborers who would come witt
these laborers would increase the popu
lation of the zone to some 65. 900.
The police force necessary to keel
order on the isthmus Admiral Walkel
suggested, should be organized as tina
of an American city. One hundred mel
at first would be sufficient, but thi
number would have to be increased I,
perhaps 500. In case of riots or unusa
disturbances he believed the Panama
government could be relied on to ait
the police for the strip, and he alst
deemed it advisable to have 800 Amer
lean troops or marines permanently
stationed in the zone.

BATTLE OF LAO TAHe.


It HE BLOODIEST FIGHTING since
the first gun was fired in the war
between Japan and Russia was en-
gagged in last week around Lao Yang.
and is still going on. The dispatches OF
yesterday afternoon failed 70 give a
clear idea as 10 the advances made by
either army. The issue Of the battle
may be said to be still in doubt, but
the indications are that Kuroki IS
slowly gaining ground.
Speculation as to his ability 10 cap
ture Kuropatkin and his entire army
has been freely INDUCED in. and both
sides Of the question have supporters.
IT viii be remembered that at Metz a
French army numbering something
like $4,000 men was surrendered. But
the commander of that host was ac-
cused of cowardice, and even worse.
Critics said he should have attempted
to cut his way out and that if he had
made ting attempt he would have sue
ceeded.
Kuropatkin is not yet surrounded as
was the French army at Metz. If the
270, 600 JaDs under Kuroki should sue
coed in surrounding the Russians they
might stiA be able TO cut their way
out. AT least a considerable number
Of them might, but the thing is hardly
probable. 1t is too much to expect any
army to engage an enemy that is firing
on it from four sides. Besides, in such
an attempt, the Russians would be en-
numbered with baggage and their
movements would of necessity be seri-
ously hampered.
That the Russians are splendid fight
ers nobody who has followed closely the
events Of the war viii deny. But there
is limit even to their splendid cour-
age. A humane commander, when he
sees that further fighting Will only re-
suit in the slaughter of his soldiers,
will be brave enough to surrender. Ku-
ropatkin would not be disgraced If he
should be surrounded now and forced
to surrender. He has made a good fight
in the face of heavy numerical odds.
The elimination OF Kurcpatkin's army
from the seat of war would release Ku-
rokis command for the operations
against Port Arthur. This would
hasten the impending fall of that fort
ress, and with its fall practically the
last vestige of Russian power in Man
churia would be swept away. What
next? Would the powers intervene and
stop the war? Would Russia sue for
peace? The former step seems much
more likely than the latter.
There is no need for speculation on
one point. The world is heartily sick
of the carnage in Manchuria. How
ever the war is to end, it were well
that the end be brought on quickly.

II letters like this have been sent to
the government placeholders in Ken

have sent to similar officials all over
the country. And if al OF them re-
spond at the rate OF per cent Of

result will be campaign fund OF con-

GOAL AND WATER power.

4 CACHE COUNTY correspondent ac-
II cuses The Herald OF pessimism in
regard TO the worlds coal supply, and
encloses a clipping from Success to
show that, with the tremendous water
power available, there is no occasion
for worry over the possibility that
eventually the coal supply viii be ex-
hausted. The clipping follows:
According to the estimates of sn emf
nenJ civil engineer. the water running
from the present land surface OF the globe
TO sea level would produce. II ali utilized,
1880. 600. coo horse power, day and night.
On the other hand, the present output OF
coal for a whole year (225, 0O0, 900 tons, IL
so burned as TO produce this horse power,
could keep 1t up for only nail a day. IN
other words, the worlds water power is
over 200 times its present aVa1laole coal
power and can not be used UP as the
latter cana fact which NAV comfort
those who are anticipating with fear the
time when our coal supply VIII nave been
exhaust ed.
Even il we had not seen the water
power statement We would still have
declined a place in the ranks of the
pessimist. Bless your heart, we are not
pessimistic about anything these days.
In the first place no scientist who is
worthy of the name has ever said the
worlds coal supply viii be exhausted
during this century. Few believe 1t
VIII be exhausted for several centuries
TO come.
Inasmuch as we have plenty Of trou
bles of our own to worry over, always
provided we were in the least disposed
to worry about anything, we are per-
fectly willing to let the generations to
come figure out their own problems.
They may be depended upon to find
substitute for coal for house heating,
for generating steam on ocean vessels,
FOR running their factories and their To-
comotives, or 'airships as the case may
be. and for all other-proper and neces-
sary purposes.
Just now we used the expression, I'm
the first place" Come to think about
it, there is 10 second place. Parker
and Davis are going to be elected next
fail, Senator Shoots candidate for gov
ernor will be defeated, We are going to
have a Democratic legislature, and,
unless ali signs fail. two Democratic
United States senator's from the SOW
ereign state of Utah.
Why should we worry about such a
small thing as the possible exhaustion
of the coal supply in 2104?
