Senator Daniels Illness.

People of the state at large are alarmed
at the continued illness of United States
Senator John w. Daniel of Lynctburg
who is in Florida, where he went to re-
cuperate. The report that he was
stricken with paralysis has caused many
Of his friends to fear that he will not
be able to again take his seat in Con-
gress. at least for some months.
The Virginia Base Ball League will
convene here Tuesday night to adopt the
schedule for the season. Zach of the
club managers has one which he regards
as the best and which gives to his club
the least number of miles travelled. The
magnates are understood to be pretty
we'll satisfied to adopt the proposition
submitted by the local organization
whereby the home team has every week
end series on the home grounds. This
scheme is for the benefit of all the teams
in the league. as with Richmond left out
there would be no league worthy of the
name. This city pays more than double
the profits of any other and by having
the weekend games here the teams are
enabled to live through the season and
to have little balance. Whatever sched-
,Ile is agreed to will be one for the benefit
of the league at large, and all the man.
ayers agree that the proper thing to do
is to give this city the big end'' of the
season. The season opens about April
Al and continues to September II.

s. p. SURVEYING ROUTE
FROM BATTLE MOUNTAIN

The prediction made some time
ago by the Bonanza of the inten-
ton of the Southern Pacific to
build a cutoff from Battle Mountain
to a connection with the Nevada
and California, is verified by re-
port in a recent issue of the Ogden
Standard. The connection will more
than likely be made at Nina, via
the Lodi Valley, following the two
former surveys. The Standard
says:
1.-THE sending out of new corps
of Southern Pacific engineers to
survey a line from Battle Mountain
to a connection with the Los An
geles Aqueduct road, presages a
most important campaign of rail
road building in Central Nevada
that is to add to the Importance of
Ogden as railroad point and
draw to this route most of the
traffic from Southern California,
which has hitherto gone over the
southern roads.
SAT present there is a narrow
gauge road from Battle Mountain
south through the Reese River val.
ley to Austin, Nevada. This line
it is said, will be purchased by
the Hartman people, converted in
to standard gauge and extended
on south to connection with thu
Los Angeles road in the Owens
River valley.
From Ogden to Battle Noun
tain, by the Central Pacific, is 3O(
miles, and from Battle Mountain t.
Los Angeles by the proposed lin
is something over 500 miles, or
total distance of approximately 80
miles, making Ogden eQuidistan
from San Francisco and the south
ern metropolis of California.
There is no railroad, built o
contemplated, which equals tn
proposed line in grades, curves, Q
favorable climatic conditions, as
connecting link between Utah an
the coast"

FUND.

The students OF the Tonopah high
school will give a dance Friday
night at the Miners Exchange hall.
The funds from the affair will go

probable that neat sum will
result.
Nearly everybody in this city IS
interested in the athletic progress
of the boys and have never yet &c
fused to contribute to their SUI
port. 1t is desired that team

academic field meet, which takes
place in May on the field of the

INQUIRY SHOWS
HOW SAILORS LOST
THEIR LIVES
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The
court of inquiry investigating the
cause of the premature discharge
of a gun aboard the cruiser Charl-
eston, at Subig bay, in the Philip
pines, on March 20, by which eight
sailors lost their lives, decided the
accident was probably due to the
firing pin, which was broken, then
having been bent. In loading the
firing pin struck a primer with the
plug closed and was partially turn
ed. No blame was attached to
anyone.
