Peculiar Murder in Indian Tribe OF
Nevada.

Peculiar Murder in indian Tribe OF
Nevada.
Salt Lake, June ga special to the
Tribune from Modena, Utah. says:
Two Indian children of Eagle Valley
New. have murdered their 3-year-old
brother. The Oldest OF the fratricides
is years of age. girl. and the other
is but 4, boy.
Indian Jack, the father of the chill
dren, and his wife left their tepee to
haul wood and on returning to their
tent found their youngest child with
its ribs caved in and its backbone
severed from its fastenlngs.
owing to the fact that the two older
children had shown a decided aversion
to the dead child, they were at once
accused of the crime. They. however,
maintain the reticence characteristic
Of the Indian and have refused to an
swer questions.
The father of the boy, who is an
educated red man, is almost heart
broken over the affair.

Chance.

New York. June 2s.--Gossip among
yachtsmen here is TO the effect that
two challenges may be expected In
the near future from England. anj that
there will be a race for the Americas
cup next year II the New York Yacht
Club will accept the challenge. Two
British yachtsmen are ready to build
boats. and they are now at work on
plans to capture the trophy which has
been embiematic OF yachting suprem-
acy for more than so years.
One challenge ls expected through
the Royal Clyde Club and another
through the Royal Ulster Club. Sir
Thomas Upton. representing the latter
club. already has had so many chances
at lifting the trophy that 1t is likely
that the Clyde club challenge viii be
accepted. Under the new rules govern
ing the cup contests. Reliance and
Constitution, on account OF their ex-
cessive draught, will be barred from
taking part In the trial races, but II Is
possible that provision may be made
to allow Reliance 10 compete and that
the clause limiting jraught shall not
apply in this case. In any event, a
new defender would have to be built.
Ten months notice must be given by
the challenging club. and IL the races
are to be sailed In August the chal-
lenging must be accepted not later than
next October.

TWELFTH TOGO FEB 20 SALE OF LACE HOUSE
Unofficial Report as to Plans
For Regiment Comes From
Washington Sail March /.

Word was received at Fort Dou2ias
yesterday that the Twelfth infantry
would sail for the Philippines March 1.
The message was unofficial. The orders
TO this effect have not yet been received
but it is expected that the regiment VIII
leave Salt Lake about Feb. 20.
Orders were received some time ago
for the regiment to prepare to leave for
the Philippines in March At that time
another regiment. which returned from
the Orient before the Twelfth was to
be ordered To Panama Since then these
plans have been changed and the other
regiment is being held in Ohio, appar-
Philippines The officers and men OF
the Twelfth had begun &c feel that per
hapS they might be kept in Utah d i:t-
tie longer. The word yesterday came
TO most of them as a disappointment.
The Twelfth saw some severe sery-
ice il the Philippines. and officers and
men welcomed the change OF china &c
and the rest made possible by the trans
fer to Fort Douglas about year ana
q half ago. Most Of them are reluctant
to leave the pleasant surroundings and
the associations they have formed here.
As a partial compensation. however.
there IS the increase pay for foreign
service-I0 per cent for the officers and
p per cent for the men-aEd the lower
cost of living.
The suppOsition is that the Twelfth
viii be stationed at a new post near
Iloilo. which is said TO be desirable.

Government Official Writes of Utah
Lake Project.

Governor Iebcr VI. Wells yesterday
received a letter from Professor T. II.
Newell head of the arid land reclama-
ion bureau Of the United States geo
logical survey. speaking well of the
Utah lake reservoir project. The let
Ter is as follows:
Denver, Colo, Jan. %. I994.-My dear
governor: Our party had a very pleas
ant reception as Provo. and we met a
large number of irrigators and citizens
al the court house. 4 number OF brief
statements were made by the people Of
Utah county and questions asked. The
general attitude of the people was very
friendly. and I was agreeably surprised
2 the broad view taken Of the necessity
for the development of Utah lake, even
though this might .njure some midi
viduals in Utah county or infringe upon
real or fancied rights.
Il wish 10 express 10 You my appre-
thoughtfulness for our comfort and
pleasure. but even more than this Tor
the broad and patriotic manner i'm
which the whole subject Of reclamation
IS being considered by the officials and
people of Utah. The outlook for the fu-
ture is very encouraging. and with the
friendly optimistic feeling prevailing
on all sides. I think the difficulties can
be overcome in the near future.
HAIl Of the party join with me in ex-
pressi0ns of pleasure at our visit 10
salt Lake and Provo. Very truly yours,

cred by Congress.

lSDecial 10 NE Herald

Washington. Jan. 23.-The committee
on mines and mining Of the house of
Representatives at its first meeting OF
the session appointed a subcommittee
for the purpose of the consideration
and formulation of bin applying the
proceeds Of public lands 10 the endow
ment of schools or departments of min
ing in connection with the colleges es-
tablished in the several states and ter
ritories under an act of congress of
some years ago. This act donated pub
lie lands to such states which provided
colleges for the benefit of agriculture
and the mechanic arts. The sub-cOm-
mittee at its meeting on Monday last
considered in connection with this pro-
posed bin a bill which has been intro
dueed in the F'ifty-seventh congress by
General Grosvenor, and which, with
amendments, was reported, but never
passed the house. 1t is the general i'm
preston that the bill failed of cOnsid-
Grafton mainly because Of the fact that
the money which it appropriates Is not
drawn from the treasury direct, but is
derived from the sales of lands in the
west. and the friends of irrigation in
congress believed that Sc would. make
too heavy an inrOad on the irrigation
fund, which is also derived from the
same source

vide means for instruction, research

subjects. The sum OF $4,000 per an
mum to each of the forty-eight states
in the Union is appropriated by the bill
now under consideration, and where a
school is already in existence the
money will be paid direct 10 such school
TO further increase its facilities, this
sum in all cases to be increased from
year TO year.
The subcommittee above referred TO
has also been authorized 10 report upon
the ACCESSIBILITY Of the establishment of
a department Of mines and mining as

Pittsburg, Jan. 23.-The food danger
at this point has passed. All day long
both rivers continued to rise. until 3
O'Clock this afternoon. when S21 feet
was registered at the Monongabela
wharf. From that hour on the waters

The Allegheny is still fun of run
mig ice, but it is much thinner than
earlier in. the day.
From the beadwater points on both
the Allegheny and MOnOngahe1a riv-
ers the reports tonight show them TO
be either stationary or falling.
The actual damage done in Pitts
burg viii not reach the high figures at
first given out, and viii probably not
exceed half a million dollars. To this
amount, however, must be added the
loss to the manufacturers and mills
through forced shutdown and to
workmen through suspended wages.

reported.

600 bushels of coal, and two Darses,
