FIXING UP DIFFERENCES.
War Between Canal Commission and
Pacific Mail About over.

Washington, Jan. 23.-With reference
to the differences which have arisen
between the canal commission and the
Pacific Mail Steamship company, it is
said at the war department that the
Pacific Mail Steamship company has
arranged for the coming of Mr.
SChwerin, the general manager of that
company, to Washington for a confer
ence with the canal authorities, and it
is thought that all differences can be
adjusted by a conference between Mr.
Shonts, Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Schwerin.
1t is stated at the war department that
advices from the isthmus show that
the congestion which was said to have
been due to the failure of the Pacific
Mail to furnish tonnage enough at La
Boca, has now, by reason of the COM
ing of several steamers of the Pacific
Mail, largely disappeared.

MAY PROSECUTE GRANDIN
To Make Example of Shop Man Who
Is Said to Have Violated Quar-
antine Regulation.

The health authorities of Ogden are
determined to put a stop to the care
lessness of persons affected with conta-
gious diseases in evading the quarantine
regulations Of the city. Within a short
time several arrests are expected. The
latest case to be called to the attention
Of the authorities is that of Carl Gran
DIN, whose home was Quarantined Mon
day.
Grandin is an employee of the local
railroad shops, and few days ago
called upon DR.. II. s. Joyce the com
peny physician, to see what allied him.
The physician Immediately told him that
he had smallpox and, as the company
did not provide for the handling of
smallpox cases, he should report to the
city physician. With a note from Dr.
Joyce, Grandin left the office but, in
stead of going to the city physician. it
is stated he boarded a car for his home
on Seventh street. Several days later
he called DR.. Joyce by telephone and
asked when he could get a release, which
the railroad company requires. He was
Informed that this would be forthcom-
ing as soon as he was released by the
health officer. This put a new phase
on the matter and the result was that
the place was quarantined. Later SAM
tary Inspector A. Power conferred with
DR.. Joyce and ascertained the real cir
cumstances, so that now it is said to
be the purpose of the health authori-
ties TO prosecute Grandin.

conducted the weekly raafle.
In this rattle the prizes were turkeys,
ducks, young pigs, baskets of eggs, and
such like rural commodities. A quantity
of steel disks, numbered from 1 to %,
were put into a black bag, and the little
daughter of the innkeeper put her hand
in the bag and drew a disk for each
Spectator in turn. The person whose
number was the highest got the prize

POPPING CRACKERS, GONGS AND PERFUMED INCENSE
ANNOUNCED BEGINNING OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR

Giant strings of firecrackers popped
and fizzled. bombs were exploded, and
perfumed incense, shedding red and blue
rays of light, burned before the altar
in the joss house in Plum alley early
this morning. They all announced the
beginning of the Chinese New Year. The
Celestials, CARRIED in silk jackets of gaudy
colors, their legs encased in full panta-
looms, and with their hair supplemented
with long queues bowed their heads, or
fering prayers to their God. Weird n1u-
sic sounded during the intervals between
the popping of fire crackers. Sharp
shouts of '.Kung hii" CT humblv wish
you joy'') and Sin hir' .C'May joy be
yOurs'') echoed and re-echoed through
the halls Until daybreak the incsssant
noise and tumult was kept up Then the
''Chinks' left the joss, going to their
hunks to smoke, eat some food and take
a short sleep.
IN the doorway Of every hut an arm
curious figures were burned before they
entered after leaving the joss house. This
drives away all I'll omens from the houses
for the entire year. Blossoming pots or
white lilies were set in the doorways
and long stems of punk were lighted
in their rooms. Ong Wah and Su Ho Su
were left in charge of the joss house.
The incense was burned for hours and
prayers were offered by them for pros
porous year.
The celebration will be renewed again
at midnight and will continue for five
0avs. There were over 100000 fifecrack-
crs set off in one giant string last night,
and others will be set off tonight. Inc

holiday is legal for three DAYS and then
the remainder of the time is spent III
visiting For the first three days all
manual labor is suspended and the FOOD
they eat is carried before the altar. Du-
ring this period each Celestial consults
the mystic box and sticks TO learn OF
his fortune for the ensuing year. They
kneel before the altar and shake-the
box violently until one or more of the
sticks falls out. Then the master of the
joss picks them up. Each one is num-
bered A book is consulted which gives
the numbers and tells of the good or bad
omens they indicate.
After their quaint ceremonies are over
then the festivities begin. Music is to
be heard every night either on the gamut
or a photograph. Pots OF Yutseen tea,
gathered in the springtime before the
rains, is made and drank. All their
GO mes of chance are played, but no
money is bet. They move around from
place to place. where they play fan
tan, ''pi-gow' 'joe-far" and ''boocka-
boo" Quantities of candies and nuts
shipped from China are placed about the
dwellings and food is spread on a large
table. The Celestials help themselves and
go and come when they please.
Their New Year is a common birthday
Tor the community. The moment a baby
is born 1T is reckoned one year old. When
the next calendar year begins a second
year is credited to the child This is
their queer way of figuring their ages
but at the same time the exact date of
their birth is recorded
Next Thursday their places will he
open and visitors will be allowed to go
house.

GOES AFTER THE JOBBERS
State Food Commissioner Says
He Is inclined to Shield
Retailers.

1T has been my policy to hold the job
her and manufacturer responsible for vio-
lations of the food and dairy laws, and
not to hold the retailer responsible, nor
to prosecute him when there was a rea-
sonable doubt as to his intentional guilt -
says State Food and Dairy Commissioner
John Peterson in his annual report to
Governor John c. Cutler. Il have kept
in view that the greatest good achieved
in the enforcement of the pure food laws
is in keeping out and Kidding the mar
kets of the state of goods that are adul-
terated or not up TO the requirements
OF our, law rather than general prose-
eutiOn OF dealers who were free from any
intent of violating the law.
Mr.. Peterson reports conditions good
generally in the stores and dairies of the
state and that he finds a disposition on
the part of merchants and jobbers TO ala
him in keeping products up TO stand
.''The merchants are trying to comply
with the laws of the state, ne says.
They are more than anxious to nave
the laws enforced, claiming that then
they would not be forced TO compete Win
cheap adulterated goods.
Touching on a point which has occa-
stoned jobbers and retailers OF the stat e
much annoyance and loss during the
year, Mr.. Peterson says:
81 wish also to report that carIoads
of groceries are shipped by eastern Ilrfns
to various points in the state, and ped
died out to the people, thus avoiding tax
es, licenses, etc, to the great detriment
of our merchants The interstate com
merce law is such that these parties
can be handled only by the state COM
missioner. who can compel them to COM
pIv with the state food laws"
Mr. Peterson expresses his thanks TO
the governor for personal interest IN the
work of the department, and to State
Chemist Harms, who is said have toiled
till the wee sma' hours" on many oc-
casions and to have 'intringed on the
SABBATH in order to do work for the
department

HIS WISH.

The following colloquy actually. occurred
during one OF the earlier battles in the
Philippines. A detachment Of American
infantry, under orders to support a sec
ton Of Captain Reillys battery, were
halted for quite a while on a perfectly
flat military road in full view and fine
range of the Filipino trenches. OF course
to lie flat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the colors
in the British army before he enlisted
with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit he had
been very prone TO tell how the British
soldiers did everything. AS a result he
was necessarily piled with questions as to
his experiences While the bullets were
.'piopping'' down the road and kicking up
the gravel, a young Yankee suddenly
asked, Say. Nike what do the British
soldiers do with their heads in a place
like this?'
Quick as a flash came the retort, "A
british soldier has no head, sorr.''
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued, "Howiver, be that at is may,
I wish / could pick up this id road and
