Schmitz is not allowed to leave the
county jail and was not in court this

the Jail so long as there is evidence of

of Grievances.

Eureka July l9.-The Tintic Commercial
club is not going to. remain dormant, as
will be seen from the petition that has
been sent in to the r. G. w. railway COM
pany. In this matter the entire district
is with them. as the service over that
system has been voted eXecrable:

Rio Grande Western Railway Company;
Traffic Service:
Gentlemen;-W Whereas, the r. G. w.
railway receives very large monthly in
come from freight shipped to and from
Ttntic mining district, being more than
$4,000 monthly receipts, and
Whereas, The road has always been
literally treated by the general public of
Tintic district in both passenger and
freight business. including excursions and
express shipments; and
Whereas, The present evening passen-
ger train has not been on schedule time
two hours late, same leaving Salt Lake
City before the hour for supper or even
ing meal, and arriving late in the night;
and.
Whereas. This late service is very an
noying and announcement to passengers
having to wait for hours at depots along
the route. and especially at Santaquin
where there is not even a shed for shell
ter; and,
whereas, The depot at Eureka is no
larger than a good sized piano box, and
all passengers have to wait outside, the
depot not having the capacity to accom-
patrons; and
Whereas, The patrons of the road at
Mammoth and Silver City coming to Eu-
reka for trading and other business pur-
poses, are detained until late in the night,
so much so in fact as to greatly retard
the business interests of the district; and
Whereas, The evening mail service has
been of no value whatever during the
past year and the evening papers being
accessible only at the time of the next
morning papers, and no opportunity for
business houses to attend to orders or
other business between the district and
Salt Lake City and intermediate points,
by mail: and
Whereas. The passenger department
has ignored a communication from our
railroad transportation committee written
more than three weeks ago.
Now, therefore, we. the Commercial
club of Tintic, representing all the BUSH
ness interests of this district, petition you
and insist upon consideration of the above
grievances. and that the same be rene

Consul General Not Alarmed.

Seoul, July 20.-United States Con-
sui General Summons late yesterday
afternoon, in reply to Marquis Ito's
offer of protection to foreign consul
lates. stated that he would leave the
matter of protecting Americans to Ito's
discretion, as he was without informa-
ton regarding danger from mObs.
On account of the fact that the
American consulate general adjoins the
former emperOr's private house, it is
daily thought that the ex-ruler will
seek 1t as an asylum of safety, giving
as a cause the presence of japanese
troops for the alleged purpose of pre-
venting his escape or a possible acct
dent. 1t is said, however, that since
November, 1905, the Koreans have not
hoped for American aid

At the formal audience this afternoon
Marquis Ito was the first to be re-
ceived. He had conversation with the
former emperor lasting ten minutes.
The new emperor is performing his
duties in a purely perfunctory manner.
He is said to show little strength of
character, and the outlook for his adj
ministration of public affairs is not
promising

has formally notified the japanese

NAVAL WORK TO BE DONE
ON THE PACIFIC COAST

Washington. July 20.-General Crozier
chief or ordnance has returned from the
Pacific coast. where he examined the
Benecia arsenal in California for the i'm
provement of the plant of which congress
has made an appropriation.
Ger eraI CrOzier found the affairs of the
arsenal in good shape and confirmed the
plans for its improvement. Owing to the
high price Of material and labor upon the
Pacific coast IL has heretofore not been
found advisable to undertake the manu-
facttire of small arms or big guns upon
the coast, but now, to maintain the force
of trained mechanics and keep open the
line of supply of ordnance material nee
essary to make the Benecia arsenal of
greatest value to the war department,
General Crozier has planned to have con-
structive work undertaken there to a
moderate extent.

ITO AT THE PALACE.
Not a Grain of Comfort for the Poor
Old Emperor.

Toxic. July 2O.-The following, it is
claimed, was the gist of the converse
ton between the ex-emperOr of Korea
and Marquis Ito. at the audience
granted the latter on Thursday last,
July IS.
The emperor. asserting mis- ignorance
Of the dispatch of the deputation to
The Hague the Marquis Ito replied
that he had not come to ask the orr
gin Of the authority for the deputation
When the emperor asked Marquis Ito's
opinion regarding his abdicatiOn of the
throne. the latter Is said to have an
swered that the affair was one purely
for imperial consideration in Korea
and matter upon which no foreign
subject could pass judgment.
The emperor then requested to have
those Koreans who were Illegally act
ing at The Hague punished through
the agency of Japan, but this, the mar
uuis declared, could not be done for
the reason that they were in Holland
The marquis then turned TO other SUBJ
jects and retired.
The Korean premier, VI Wang
Yang, subsequently notified Marquis
Ito of the emperor's abdication, re-
questing him at the same time to no.
tffy the powers.
Emperor Had No Choice.
The minister of justice. Che Chung
then verbally explained to Marquis tic
on behalf of the retired emperor thai
his abdication was solely upon the in
itiative of the emperor himself, and
not the result of any outside pressure
1t was only the outcome, he said, oil
a desire to the part of the emperor
which had been in his mind for ter
years past. In reply to both ministers
it is believed. that Marquis Ito said
nothing definite.
According to Korean usage, abdica-
ton of the throne means a total trans
fer of the ruling power to the success
or, leaving no room for any future in
reference by the administration.
The minister of agriculture, Scr
Phyong Chun, in conversation with tht
Associated Press representative, SAID
that he could hardly bear the idea Of
advising his imperial master Of the
necessity for abdication, but in view oil
the gravity of the situation, involvine
national danger, no other alternative
was left him.
Should Japan, he said. not rest sat.
isfied with what had been effected anC
make any unjust demands Korea wa.
prepared to offer the most obstinat,

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT.

Again the clearings of Salt Lake are
I'D with Denver. Both cities passed
the eight million mark last week, and
Salt Lake was only trit1e behind in
the odd figures. And Hartman has
bought Saltair and the Northwestern

and Second street from the temple to
popperton is taking on her drive form
and getting ready to become the cool

of streets for pleasure driving.

Don't put off going. do It now"
See what genius and money can do in
the making of the suburb beautiful.
Right next to it, on the same slightly
eminence, is popperton. There are no
lots for sale in popperton, but there is
no law against looking at it, and bime-
by, maybe, you will have chance to
pick up something to put the four COR
ners of house upon.
The songs we sing Of popperton, you
can pretty safely bet,
Will hand us down in history as the

But there's another poet, who in mel
ody sublime,
Has written you a poem for the fleet
ing years of time.
The verses of this poem are from Ma
lures facile pen,
And are written on the land itself to
please the eyes of men.
Its undulating surface is a rhyme OF
slopes in green,
And the view that meets the vision is
the finest ever seen.
There are mountains in the distance
and a valley at their feet,
And the sunsets close the poem and
make the rhyme complete,
There are no flies on popperton.

that a total of ten japanese were killed
and thirty wounded during the riot
ing. The number of Korean victims
has not been reported.
The shops of Seoul have been closed

show of military force, as the people
are encouraged and inflamed by the
successful killings of yesterday. Cen
eral Hasegawa has two machine guns
placed in the palace square.
Not only is the Korean army regard
ed as important TO cope with the stu
alton, but the number of Japanese
troops are wholly inadequate. Ar
engagements have been made for rein
forcing them from ShimonOseki.
HOStilitieS are directed wholly
against the japanese. Other foreign
ers are safe. Much apprehension is felt
for the safety of Japanese at interior
places when the Korean masses learn,
as they will in a few days, of the mo-
mentOus events that have occurred.

and also because it was suspected of
plotting to capture the palace, in an
attempted coup d'etat. The students
