On the morning OF August Is. however.

a severe battle was intended.
The japanese pushed their attack

DESPERATE ATTACK.
Japs Confident of Capturing Lao
Yang.

Lao Yang, Aug. 25.-(DeIayed in
transmission ACCORDING to the best
information obtainable, the Japanese
were prepared for q desperate attack
on Lao Yang, in which the Chinese
say. they are confident Of success.
Siege gins have been sent from Yin
kow to Tatchekiao intended for use
against General kuropatkin's position.
A curious indication at the Japanese
positions of the methodical preparation
for big battle is the fact that ten
thousand wooden boxes. in which it
is intended to place the ashes of the
killed. who are TO be cTemated en- the
battlefield, have been delivered in the

other citizens whe appreciate the
work Of the board were unanimous IN
denouncing the proposition. IT is said
an effort 10 reward political work by
making a change in the secretary of
the board is under consideration. IN
otker states the secretary of the state
board of health in many cases has
held the Office for twenty or thirty
years and the care of the states Realm

To the Honorable Chairman and

telephone message requesting me.
through your committee, to thank the
Republican party for the honor con
ferred in nominating him as a presi-
Dental elector upon the Republican

nomination because of the impossible
ity OF leaving his usual work at the

that the vacancy on the ticket may be
filed as authorized by the state con-
FeDti0n. and that the committee may
be able TO act while all the members of
the committee are present in Salt Lake
City. Yours truly

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook ms Seen from
Wall Street.

Wall Street.
New York. Jan. 30.-Clique opera-
tions infused fair degree of activity
on the Stock Exchange. OF strong and
substantial leadership there are few
signs; yet it is quite apparent that the
heavy buyers who took stocks during
The liquidation of 1903 have been hold
ing for better figures, and that to this
extent at least they were working in
harmony with the lesser cliques, The
recent advance. however was suffi-
Gent to induce profit-taking at the first
signs of weakness, and this explained
the reaction which followed in the lat
ter part of the week.
The condition of the country as a
whole, is both satisfactory and sound
Our farming classes are exceptionally
prosperous, because demand generally
has overtalen supply. High prices are
being obtained for nearly all agricul-
tural products. and the situation is
such that the American farmer seems
assured of another prosperous year. AS
for our Industrial classes they are GER
tainly better off than ever in their his
tory. The only difficulty here is that
wages have risen to an almost pro-
hibitive point, and enterprise is conse-
quently checked until necessary con-
cessions are made: concessions which
would mean no hardship to labor but
simply diminish the number of unem-
ployed. Among the mercantile classes
the situation is exceptionally sound.
In this quarter there has been little
overtrading, and our merchants. as a
class, have been singularly conserva-
tive and fortunate in avoiding too rap
id expansion.
There has been a surprisingly good
demand for bonds, and many of the
recent new issues have been readily
taken. Our railroads show a DISPOSE
ton to go slow in their improvements,
owing chiefly to the unsettled condition
of the iron and steel markets. AS steel
comes down. however, to a more nor
NAL level orders are likely to increase
and the railroads will no doubt continue
their outlaws.
