TAFT PREPARES FOR FUTURES.
War Secretary Orders Department
Estimates Made for Fiscal Year.

Washington, July 24.-The esti-
mates OF the fiscal year ending June
80. 1909. are being prepared by the
various bureaus OF the war depart
ment. This Is being done In accord
ance with instructions from Secre-
tary Taft, who intends TO prepare
his annual report, including his rec
concentrations for appropriations
for the needs OF the war depart
ment for the fiscal year 1909 before
he leaves Washington on his trip TO
the Philippine Islands. The secre-
tary has a number of engagements
to speak IN the west before sailing
for the Philippines early in Septem-
ber, and he viii leave Washington
soon after the middle OF August and
will not return before he sails.
The secretary has in mind various
recommendation which he intends
to make to Congress, and the putting
of them into shape and considera-
tion of the estimates for the fiscal
year 1909 will occupy most Of his
time during the short period which
will intervene between his return
to Washington from Murray Bay,
Canada, the first part of August. and
his departure later for the west.

night. having made a landing with
their raft near Shelter Cove.
So far as known only one child
vas saved. How many were drowned
Is problemetical as the steamship
officials kept no record Of them on
the register. The Elder has left for
Portland with the majority OF the
survivors.
Conservative estimates now place
the number OF lost at ninety-six, pas
sengers and crew. There were 100
passengers on board and sixty crew
on the sailing list. This leaves nine
ty-six to be accounted for, and 1t is
thought very doubtful that any sur
yive who have not yet been picked
up.
Few bodies have been recovered.
Acting under orders from the San
Francisco & Portland Steamship
Company, Purser Z. Byrnes of the
Inflated steamer Columbia is having
the survivors cared for. Such as
wish to return to San Francisco will
do so on the City of Topeka.
Reports from the scene of the
wreck are that few bodies have been
recovered. Relief parties are being
sent along the coast to pick up posi-
BILE survivors of the wreck and to
recover bodies. Coastwise vessels
have also been notified of the tragedy
and win keep sharp lookout for
life-rafts and boats. Not all of the
life-saying apparatus of the Colum-
bia has been recovered as yet, and
there is some hope that more sur
v!vors may be found, but it is a
rather forlorn one because of the
condition in which the RATS were
launched, the hurry allowing but lit
tie time for proper equipment.

RUSHED TO SLAUGHTER
NEW MILITARY COURT SCHEME
IN RUSSIA MORE BLOOD
THIRSTY THAN EVER.

st. Petersburg, July 24.-The new
regulations concerning the mode of
procedure in military district courts
introduced July 20, have now begun
to bear fruit, and the results consti-
tute close approach to the notorious
reign of the drumhead court-martial.
which was abolished by the late Dou-
ma.
The innovations shorten the entire
course of the inquest and trial, al
lowing only seventy-two hours be-
tween indictment and execution, in
Guiding the appeal of the prisoner to
the military court of cessation, and
| the decision OF this court. The form
er regulations allowed a fortnight
for this procedure. The new military
courts are now obliged to hand down
sentences without waiting to hear
the testimony Of witnesses, who may
be absent. They also enjoy juris-
dicton over a wider area than the
former drumhead courts, which only
operated in the provinces that had
been placed under a state of extra
ordinary defense.
The number of executions under
the new rulings show a sudden in
crease At Kiev yesterday five sap
pers were executed and today an
other sapper was sentenced to death
Three peasants have been executed
at Moscow, and at Warsaw and at
Yekaterinislav three workmen have
been put to death under decisions
handed down by these new courts.
At Riga a young man named Ber-
Ian went into clothing store, select
ed an overcoat and started for the
door without having paid for It.
When asked to settle his bill he drew
a revolver, covered the clerk and
succeeded in getting away. He was
later captured and sentenced to
death.
Another young man, named Dam
be, was sentenced to death at Riga
for the theft OF five dollars. and two
girl accomplices, aged II and 20
years, were sentenced to exile and
hard labor for life.

This great production repre-

work by an able corps of scenic

to see, not only the beautiful
scenic equipment, but decidedly
the most original play on the
stage of this country.
1t is something to be able to say
that at least we can herald the
coming of new play, full of new
ideas, situations and startling eff

the forth coming production Of
"A Royal Slave" which is put

us the finest attractions and he
assures us this is his best. The

who were released from further
service as said bishopric about
two months ago. They rendered
their resignation and s. C. Park

ed as bishop, with Hyrum Hatch
and I. T. Nash as first and Sc
cond counselors. The retiring
bishopric had served in that ca
pacity for over thirty years, hav-
ing been set apart by Brigham
Young, Jr., Moses Thatcher and
w. B. Preston, respectively, in
the year 1877, and out Of respect
for their long service the resi-
dents of the ward and others pre-
pared a festival and at o'clock
the meeting house was packed to
its limit. A very interesting pro-
gram was rendered consisting Of
speeches, musical selections,
songs and recitations. A gold
watch and chain was presented to
Bishop l.. l.. Hatch, in behalf Of
the people, by Bishop 8. c. Park
inson, and handsome gold rings
were given S. r. Parkinson and
7. II. Durrant by the new coun-
sellers. The gifts. were highly ap-
preciated by the veteran laborers.
There were present many visit
ing friends who are now resi-
dents Of Preston, Fairview and
other places. At the end Of the
program it was announced that
a dinner was prepared at the
opera house and all were invited.

splendid repast and more en-
joyable time we fail to recall in
our history. But even this was
not all, for it was further an
nounced that the entertainment
would close with good old.time
ball, which was participated in
by both old and young, and not
withstanding the fact that some
of the older people did not at
tend a dancing party for many
years and were unacquainted
with the modern style of ball
room etiquette, yet when the
band struck the good old tunes of
the quaddrilles, reels, lancers,,
etc., it was quite certain they had
good memories. The way they
went through the changes was a !
source of much pleasure to them,
and a surprise to young people
who thought the old folks didn t
know how to dance. Thus ended
at midnight one of the most in
teresting festivals ever given
here.
