and Thieves Are Captured.

One of the most daring yet bunglng
burglaries that has been committed in
Ogden for some time. occurred shortly
before o'clock yesterday morning when
two men removed a panel from a rear
door of the saloon owned by Pat Smyth
on lower Twenty-fifth street and carried
off the cash register. While passing
through Electric alley with their swag
that they concealed in a gunny sack, they
were seen by two pedestrians. Dropping
did a lively stunt to get away. While
one man followed the robbers the other
notified the police Officer John Russell
was thus enabled to arrest them on Twen-
gave their names as John Newton and
John Russell For a short time the two
men have been employed on city street
work. However, they are thought TO be
professionals and accepted this employ
ment as a blind.

WAR ON OPIUM TRADE.
China Trying to Extinguish Com

London, Aug. Elm a dispatch from
Pekin in which he discusses the opium
trade the correspondent of the Times
expresses the belief that China will ask
India to consent TO an annual reduc-
ton in the import to China which
would have the effect of extinguishing
the trade in ten years. As an evidence
of good faith China will issue an inn
perial edict condemning the use of
opium, forbidding the employment in
the government service of any opium
eater and ordering an annual reduction
in the cultivation of the native poppy
which will lead to the extinction of this
plant in ten years.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 5.-Senator Joseph

company the presidential party to Pan

lows:
Hon. J. H. Millard, United States
senator, Omaha, Neb.: My Dear Sena-
tor-The president directs me to say
that he expects to visit Panama and
personally examine the work being
done on the canal in the month of No
vember. / shall accompany him. The
president thinks it would be appropri-
ate for you as chairman of the senate
committee which has investigated the
affairs of the Panama canal to be one
OF the party of observation which,
however, he finds is absolutely neces-
sary TO make as limited as possible. ]
write to inquire whether your engage
ments will permit you to be one of the
party. Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM H. TAFT.
"Pointe-au-Pic. Provinve of Quebec,
Canada, July %, 1906"
Senator Willard stated in an inter-
view today that he had not yet decided
whether to accept the invitation or not.
This invitation recalls the strenuous
days of last winter when, after the
committee on inter-Oceanic canals, of
which Senator Willard is chairman,
voted 6 to to recommend a sea level
canal, the Nebraska senator submitted
minority report in favor of lock
type canal and then addressed himself
to the task of converting the members
of the senate to that idea, which was
supported by the administration. His
success as evidenced by the result of
the final vote in the senate elected from
the president most hearty commenda-
lions verbally expressed as we'll as an
autograph note of congratulation.
