Cannot Be Bottled.

There were 10000 Spanish soldiers
on the island when CerVera's fleet
started out of the harbOr of Santiago
de Cuba. With the sinking of the
fleet the war practically ended.
Fortunately, the United States is
so big and has such vast internal re-
sources that it cannot be bottled up as
were the Spaniards, but the necessity
for power on the seas remains"
In discussing the possibility of the
fleet going to the Philippines, the ad-
miral said:
81 would say that unless the danger
was most imminent, it would not be
with hundreds Of officers and thou
sands Of men in Philippine waters.
The climate is not right, as | know
from personal experience.
4 believe one Of the reasons we had
such an easy victory over the Span
iards was that they Lad been so long
in that enervating climate. ] am Ger
tain that we would not have fought so
well when we left as when we entered
AN enemy might take the Philip
pines and Hawaii, but as soon as we
met them on the sea they would have
to give them up. The very presence of
our sea force in the Pacific will serve
every purpose"
Admiral Dewey said there should be
no trouble i'm taking the fleet around
the horn into the Pacific. The battle
ships, he said, should have no more
difficulty than ferry has in crossing
to Hoboken- 1t was merely d question
of coal and a question of dollars.

REFUSE TO PLEAD
Decline to Submit Further Evil
denCe in the Lands
investigation.

Chicago, July S.-The attorneys for
the Standard Oil company today de-
clined to submit any further evidence
in the investigation on Saturday by
Judge Lands in the United States dis
trict court. Judge Lands then an
nOunCed that sentence would be passed
upon the Standard Oil company of In
diana, which was convicted of using
Illegal railroad rates, on Aug. 8.
Judge Lands asked the attorneys
for the company:
Have you anything 10 offer prior
to the entering OF 4 final order?-'
We have Il formal statement to
make. said Attorney Rosenthal. Il
will read it
The statement in substance was as
follows:
in answer TO the court as to wheth-
er the defendant desires to offer sany
evidence tending to show that the de-
PENDANT. or the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey, never violated
the interstate commerce law before.
and denying the jurisdiction of the
court in the premises, and eontending
that this entire inquiry is beyond the
legal power of the court. the defend
ant still insisting that the record
shows that it is innocent of the Of
fenses charged in the indictment, the
defendant desires to say this:
Denies Right of Court.
There are in the record no sugges-
tons that this defendant ever before
was charged with violation Of the in
terstate commerce law.
For this defendant now to assert its
innocence of matters that it is not
with, or attempt to show that
it has been innocent of wrongdoing in
connection with matters outside of the
record of this case would present a
situation Unheard of in Anglo-Saxon
Jurisprudence"
The statement asserted at some
length that the court had no right TO
go outside the record Of this case in
considering the penalty, the statement
then concluding:
eff the occasion shall ever arise in
an appropriate proceeding where this
defendant can, without any waiver of
its legal rights, subject itself to the
question of its having heretofore vio-
lated the interstate commerce law, il
will certainly appear that since the
passage of that law there has been no
violation Of its provisions by either
the Standard Oil company of New Jer
sey, or the Standard Oil company of
Indiana"
Judge Lands listened with much in
terest and when the reading concluded.
said abruptly:
''The final order in this case will be
entered Saturday, Aug. 8. Call the
next case"

IL was rumored at the time that the re-
quirement was aimed in part at him 1t
was explained, however. that such was
not the case, since his professorship was

The task of finding a successor for DR..
Talmage will probably prove difficult.
The Salt Lake Literary and Scientific
association. the endowment of which pro-
vides the funds for the professorship. is
practically in the control of the Mormon
church 1t is thought, therefore. that
the association may restrict itself in look

members of the Mormon faith Two or
three of DR.. Talmages pupils who have
had graduate training elsewhere have
been mentioned. One of them is DR.. +.
j. Park, a graduate of the university
who a year ago received his doctors de
gree from Columbia university. and who
during the past year has been an in
structor in the Brigham Young college
at Provo. Another is w. d. Neal. who
since his graduation from the university
several years ago has done graduate work
at Johns Hopkins university. The Liter
airy and Scientific association recon-
mends the candidate to the regents of
the university, who approve or reject.

.BATTLtSHIPS'
 LONGER WAIT
Sixty Days More to Fix
 Them for the Trip
Telephone Exchanges Are Being Installed for Pro- tectiOn Against Fire.

Washington. Sept. 21.-As d result of the additional changes found to be necessary in the battleships of Ad- miral Evans fleet, now under orders to sail for the Pacific. it has been found that an additional period of sixty days must be spent by the big ships in the navy yards where they are undergoing the repairs required to fit them for the voyage. It is hoped. however. that the additional work can be executed without delay ing the fleet beyond the date set for its departure December 15 next.
 The new work will consist in the installation in each ship of a system of fire control involving the construc- tiOn below the protected dock, of a half dozen spearate telephone booth exchanges. These little booths will be connected not only by telephone. but b.. voice tubes with the captains station on the bridge. In a connect ing tower there will be one booth for each calibre gun in order that the commanding officer can direct per sonaily the fire of the guns at will.

FREIGHT GREW BLAMED
 FOR TEHACHtPl WRECK
At Any Rate, They Did Not Appear at the Inquest With Their Version
 Of r..

Bakersfield. Sept. 21.-At the cor oner's inquest held in this city this af- ternoOn over the remains of the six Greeks killed in the collision on Te- hachepi mountain last night the facts which place the blame on the shoulders of the freight crew were developed. Although the Southern Pacific officials promised to have the crew of the freight present to give their version. they failed to appear. After taking the testimony of the work train crew the inquiry was adjourned until Monday.
 Three brakemen of the work train testified that the train was running under orders giving them a clear track. They were emerging from tunnel No. 17 when they saw the freight train bearing down on them at q rapid rate. The trainmen riding outside had bare ly time to jump and warned Conductor Carnes who was in the caboose. He ap- piled the brakes and jumped. In do- ing so he suffered a fractured ankle. A brakeman asserts that fuse was burning on the train as an extra pre- caution. The whereabouts of the freight train crew are not known. they weer last heard of at Tehachepi.

TWO PACIFICS
 FOR REBAT|NG
San Francisco Indictments on Charge of Relating
Bills Are Found Against Corporations Not Indi- Viduals.

San Francisco. Sept. 27.-The feder- al grand jury today returned five in dictments of 124 counts against the Southern Pacific company and the Pacific Mail Steamship company. charging violations of the Inter State Commerce law. These indictments if allowed by conviction, are suffi- cient to render the corporations liable to fines aggregating from Sl24.000 to $35O0.0 900. The defendant corpora tions are accused of secretly cutting rates to $1 from the published rate of sL25 on through shipments of mating from Kobe. Japan to san Francisco and thence through the United States. The indictments are returned against the Pacific Mail which trans ported the cargo from Kobe to San Francisco and the Southern Pacific company for forwarding the cargo in broken lots. The published rate of such shipment was s1.25. but the grand jury charges that the Pacific Mail and the Southern Pacific accept ed these goods from the Joseph Wilde company. Taylor and Cooper and the Smith-Baker company. all mer- chants of Yokohama, for one dollar a hundred pounds.
 Judge Dehaven to whom the indict- ments were returned in the United States district court, directed the summoning of either the general manager. general agent of general secretary and treasurer of each corpo- ration.

testified that they knew nothing Of the transaction, although one of them. I H. Hellman. recalled an instance. when the United Railroads had another pres ident, who advised the existing admin istratios to employ Abraham Ruef as the attorney for the corporation in or der to insure peaceful relations with the labor unions. Practically all the testimony stood as submitted although in several instances Earl Rogers. at- torney for the defense made a deter mined effort to impeach the memory of the motives of witnesses
 The list of exhibits was swelled by the addition of telegrams and official records of the mint through which Heney was able to establish that while the first money sent to the credit of the United Railroads from the east was payable to Thornwall Mullally the as- sistant president and was collected by the treasurer of the corporation. the second fund of s2OO.O00 was made pay able to Patrick Calhoun, the latter visited the director of the mint in or der to make possible the collection Of that amount by Ford
 During the examination of the two directors of the United Railroads whose testimony closed the weeks session Heney intimated the line of examina- tion which would probably be pursued next week.

THE CHALLENGER LOST
 THE LIGHT WEIGHT BELT
But MemSiC Gave Champion Cans the Flight
 of His Life
The Decision at the End of the Twentieth Round Had the Approval of the HOuseful of SpectaOrs---Subse- quent Remarks of the Fighters

Los Angeles Sept. 21-Joe Cans, the famous lightweight champion, won an other great victory before the Pacific Athletic club tonight when he received the decision over Jimmy Burns George Memslc) of Los Angeles. at the end of the twentieth round. The battle was one of the greatest of the khd ever witnessed in the west. Burns showed his class in a hundred ways. He was nigh equal to Cans and at times it looked as though he might be the su- perior. But Cans was in his old time form and fought with all his accustOm- ed cleverness.
 Perhaps never before were so many blows exchanged in an encounter as in this one tonight. The decision of Referee Jeffries met with the approval of the 5000 persons in the auditorium. Up to the seventeenth round Burns held the champion about even but after that the champion slowly but surely beat his opponent.
 Just before the gong sounded in the final round Cans landed swing after swing with right and left to the face and body. Burns was in the worst iieiA Dttll III Nlit 4ASiAA began. Cans unquestionably won the decision in the fighting of the last three rounds, when he Overmastered Burns immeasurably.
 Both men appeared cautious at the outset. The champion seemed to lead with greater sureness and landed with more precision. Burns rushed Cans repeatedly and was aggressive throughout and the champion broke ground slowly. Cans was lightning fast and blocked many blows. Burns was also clever in blocking but his de- fense was not nearly so perfect. Both men stood well erect and fought all most entirely in the middle of the ring. There was little giving of ground on either side and much taking of pun ishment by both fighters. Burns ap- peared unable however. to do serious damage to the doughty champion.
 Its a nice fight said Jeffries to a spectator in one of the early rounds. Clinches were frequent but Cans had the better of the in-fighting. Burns demonstrated one thing beyond ques- tion, his ability to hit Cans hard and often. The challenger has a very strong and vigorous punch with either hand. Many swings for Cans jaw might have terminated the fight but

HEADLIGHT IlLUMINfS TRACK A MILE AHEAD
Description of New Appliance Which Reduces Probability of Ae- cidents.

Austin. Tex. Sept. 27.-On a straight track. locomotive engineers can see more than three quarters of mile ahead. with the Electric Headlight recently perfected by Mir. B. B. Lacy of the Galveston. Harrisburg and San Antonio railway. Exhaustive service trials have proved that the new de- vice. in reliability and usefulness. is second only to the air brake.
 The new headlight is simplicity it. self. and it so thoroughly meets rail- road conditions that it will stand the jar of q running locomotive and yet produce a powerful concentrated beam of light. uniform and steady.
 The more general adoption of cleo tric headlights has been largely re- tarded by the fact that the types were not sufficiently reliable in operation. and were too fragile and complicated to be kept in order by the regular To- cOmotive reDairman. The new type lamp has been developed to overcome these difficulties and it's design shows the genius of the practical railway man in every detail.f
 It has been demonstrated htat the great power of the new light enables engineers to make much better use of the air brakes SO that the trains can be brought to standstill in time to prevent accidents. Instead of strain- ing his eyes at q poorly lighted point possibly thousand feet ahead. as is the case with the usual form of oil headlight. the engineer sees clearly. without special effort. not only the rails ahead. but enough of the right nf-way to give him q complete grasp of surrounding conditions.
 For furnishing current to run the headlight a small rotary engine is provided. and upon the same base is direct, connected generator. Work ing parts are well protected by sub stantial metal cases and cannot get out of order under ordinary running conditions. As the generator operates only one lamp. the amount of electri- city generated is SO small that no one could be injured by accidental contact with the circuits.
