DURAND COMPLIMENTED.
Retiring British Ambassador viii Be
offered Peerage.

London, Dec. 2s.-The departure from
Washington of Sir Henry Mortimer
Durand, British ambassador, is referred
10 editorially this morning with express
sions OF congratulation on his work
He is credited with having effected
great Improvement in the relations pc
tween the two countries and 1t Is re-
ported he will be offered a peefage.
The appointment of Canadian to as
sist James Bryce. who will succeed Sir
Henry at Washington, is also discussed
The belief seems TO be that, rather
than appoint such an official perma-
nently, it will be decided, when impor-
tant Canadian matters arise, TO APP
point a Canadian representative par
ticularly for the matter under consid-
Grafton.
Writing to a correspondent IN Aper-
deem. Mr.. Bryce says he will visit that
city about the middle of January 70
bid farewell to his constituents, and
that he expects to sail for the United

Fugitive from Ogden.

Sheriff c. 4. Sebring returned yesterday
from Price, Utah, where he went to bring
c. 3. Granger back to this city to an
swer to a felony charge of obtaining
money by fraud. Sebring came back with
out his man and is decidedly angry on
account of the fact that the purpose Of
bis trip was thwarted by what be terms
the objectionable conduct of c. T.. French
a constable at Castle Gate. who effected
Changers arrest at Helper and then per-
mitted him to escape.
Granger was formerly employed as a
barber in this city and succeeded by vari-
dollars. He then quietly left the city.
As soon as il became known that he had
gone a warrant was swarm out for his ar
rest, with II. l.. Davis as the complain
ing witness. Granger had gone from Og-
den to Provo, stopped there between
trains. Joined his wife on a later train
and was headed for d aver. Officer G r..
French located the fellow at Helper and
took him from the train. The local Off
GERS were notified and Sheriff Sebring left
Wednesday to bring him back.
Upon arriving at Price. where 1t was
understood that Granger was placed IN
Jail for safe keeping, he learned that the
constable had never reached that point
and that official informed the sheriff that
he had let the fellow go. He did not at
tempt to offer any excuse for his action
Sheriff Sebring denounced the officer 5
actions yesterday and has arranged &c
place the matter before Governor Cutler
and some interesting developments are eX-
pected a a result.

TALKING AGAINST TIME.
No End of Delay in San Francisco
Graft Cases.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-Continuance

acy case. written pleas for separate
proceedings and separate trials in the
Ruef- Schmitz extortion cases, and the
waste of much time In an attempt to
show that single grand juror was I'M
fit TO serve-such was the progress in
the trial of the alleged municipal
grafters before Judge Dunno this morn
ing.
The mayors attorneys fled docu-
ments demanding complete severance
of all legal relations between Ruef and
Schmitz as far as the five extortion in
.dictments are concerned, but made no
verbal argument.
When this had been done Attorney
Ach again called Grand Juror Green
baum to the stand and tried in every
way to wiring from him an admission
that ne is biased, but met with no sue
cess,
An attempt of Ach to find confiic'
between this testimony and the tes'
timony of Greenbaum when the grand
Jury was examined in the Nicholas
case also failed.

.FRATERAALISM IN FUTURE
DR.. LYMAN Abbott Thinks We Are
Passing from the Age Of
Individualism.

Syracuse, y. Y, Dec. 21.-That the
United States is passing from an age
of individualism into one of fraternai-
ism in which the government will take
added responsibility for the welfare of
the people. was the contention of DR..
LYMAN Abbott, of New York, who adj
dressed the Associated Academic Prii-
cjpals of this city tonight. He took
for his subject, 'The Coming Age.
On industrial activity DIR. Abbott
said: I'VE are moving from the prin-
cipIe of every man for himself toward
what we call fraternalism, whereby the
common good is the main consideration.
Upon this country God has poured out
untold wealth and we have said, go in
and get it and men have done it. A
man whom / know put $4,000 in gold
mine and in two years, without doing
stroke of work or using his brain,
took out $4,000, 900. This system is not
lust. and We are going to leave it in

Last Seen of Anderson.

local yards. saw Anderson early Sunday
morning walking along the railroad tracks
toward the Rio Grande Western bridge
At that time, Dinsdale says, Anderson
was crazy drunk, frOthing at the mouth
and so weak that ne could scarcely walk
Ii was probably six hours after this time
that Anderson dead body was found on
the banks of the Weber river.
When the body was discovered the nat
was missing and up to the present time
it has not been located, 1t is supposed
that the hat was lost at the spot where
Anderson received the blows upon the
head that were mainly responsible for his
death. Sheriff Sebring yesterday advanced
the theory that Anderson fell from the
bridge into the river below, striking his
head upon the Jagged rocks and that his
hat floated away with the tide.
