CONTINUES IT'S PERvERsITY.

On Tuesday morning The Tribune
printed dispatch from Washington,
which named Utah among other States,
which had "the initiative and refereD-
DUN provisions that were at issue in
the cases brought from Oregon chal-
lengipg the initiative and referendum
as unrepublicsu in form Of government.
The Smoot organ challenged this, evil
IDENTIFY being ignorant of the provisions
Of the Utah constitution which expllc-
itlv recognize the initiative and refer
endum. It undertook 70 make game Of
The Tribune for including Utah among
the States that had such provisions.
Responding, The Tribune pointed out
the provisions OF the Utah constitution
which contain both principles. And
now the Smoot organ, after waiting .
couple of days TO recover ITS breath
from the severe Jolt, undertakes to say
that The Tribune was laundering. In
order to do this. it switches the matter
of into matter Of legislation, or
claws of Utah, when nothing of that
limiting kind was printed by The Irn'
une, either in the dispatch or men
toned in our citation. II was ques-
ton purely and simply Of the ''pro7ls-
ions of the constitution. The contest
before the court involved very clearly
the constitutional provisions of Oregon
establishing the initiative and referen-
dunn. and the proceedings Hereunder.
II the court had taken jurisdiction. and
declared the constitution OF Oregon
unrepublicsn in form for tins reason,
the like constitutional provisions in
Utah and other States would have fall
on with those like provisions Of tho
Oregon constitution.
IT Is futile and silly sort of trick

AN INTERNATIONAL NUISANCE,

on the routes of international travel,

This question comes directly forward
in the case of Ecuador. South America.
It's port Of Guayaquil is such an inter

crews Of vessels which put in at that
port. So we'll known is that port. so

Root made his trip to South America,
he necessarily avoided that plague
spot, because the authorities admitted
the existence there of both yellow fever
and smallpox. Thomas Mast, the Amer

at that place in short sojourn there.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The largest sensational event of the
week was the special dispatch in The
Tribune yesterday morning from New
York, outlining the plans for construct.
ing what would be practically n new
trans-continental line Of railway with
Salt Lake City as the central point OF
construction for tho line between this
city and Steamboat Springs and from
this city onward to the coast. Sir
Thomas Upton, Mr.. Rudolph Spreckles,
Governor Spry, and Frederick K Brind
wore named in connection with this en-
terprise. There is no doubt but that a
new line from this city to the coast
would be of very great advantage.
line could be built from here through
to Ely, to Tonopah. thence on through
the Mono Pass and into the San Joaquin
Valley, that would be more direct
route than any yet constructed between
Salt Lake and San Francisco. 1t would
save a good many miles, and probably
two or three hours in running time, The
definite announcement OF this project
will be awaited with marked interest
here. One thing is certain, aud that is
that the Moffat road cannot be allowed
to rest where it is at Steamboat
Springs; it must be pushed through TO
Salt Lake City \ rumor earlier in the
week gave this road to the Rock Island,
which was said to be ready to push
it through to Salt Lake and thence on
to the coast. What is actual In these
rumors will doubtless develop before
long; but all the talk makes it sure
that something is brewing,
The application for a franchise into
this city Of the interurban electric line
running from here into Utah county
towns was made during the week, with
fair prospect of the line being built.
The tramway for Bingham is put in by

Merchants report lull in trade, the
season being "betwixt and between" "
on the winter and spring trade, The
weather has been so uncertain that 1t
was impossible to push to any great
advantage either style Of goods. Bnt
all are looking forward to a big bust
ness with the spring openings early
next month. But even SO, the mer-
chants say the volume of trade for the
week ran ahead of that for the same
period last year by good margin Col.
lections are better than usual and most
stores have fewer outstanding accounts
than at the same time last year Cash
sales have increased and lively business
is reported by implement houses, hard.
ware and sporting goods firms. and de-
partment stores.
The building activity is being pushed,
3 large force being on the Walker steel
skyscraper 1nd large force also re-
modelling the Knutsford for the Amer
bach department store. With the cap.
itol construction, the half million dollar
high school. the $500. 900 administration
building for the University, and the
extensive programme for home building,
the building outlook for the season is
better than ever.
Realty dealers report good week,
with numerous sales of lots There
is brisk inquiry for city and outlying
property, The best season in years is
expected in realty deals,
The storms of the week have served
TO settle and consolidate the snow in
the hills, and pack it so that it will
last well through the season. All indi-
CATIONS are that the spring will be late,
but that there is no likelihood of any
more very severe winter wenther. Fruit
growers viii have TO be very careful in
protecting their trees, and dry farmers
will probably see the best year that
they have bad.

Applications for Surveys.

Wednesday and Thursday there were at Nogales Messrs. T. A. de Boers and Edwin c. Holman, from the Elgin region, who came to the county seat to make affidavit 10 their applications to the U. s. surveyor general to have surveyed lands on which they have located in the Elgin region, about six miles. north from the station. The gen. tlemen settled upon their locations on the eighth of January, and have each built house and got out fence posts to enclose their entire quarter sections, while the wire for the same is en route, and will b. stretched as soon as it is received and the posts are set. MT. Tolman has ploughed and planted a small garden, and both gentlemen will cultivate their land and plant or chards. They report that in their immediate vicinity there there are about fifteen others who have located upon unsurveyed lands and will join with them in their application to have the lands in that vicinity surveyed.
 South from Elgin there is an other unsurveyed tract of fine land on which are a number of settlers who have united in application for surveys including Doctor J. W. Orrick, MT. James Cunningham. P. A. Blauser and several others.

Base Ball.

Manager Frank J. Taylor of the Nogales base ball aggregation is working indefatigably to bring up the team to a standard and to ar range games with clubs in Tucson, Bisbee and elsewhere, so there is a likelihood that the line city will be treated to real ball playing. Hie plans contemplate new uniforms for the entire aggregation, i'm provement of the local ground. diamond and grand stand, and new paraphernalia generally. To d. all that requires funds. and to provide the necessary MT. Taylor is arranging a series of benefit per formances at the Lyric theatre. The first two will be given on the evenings of April 18th and 20th, and very attractive bills will be pre- sented both evenings. Tickets will be offered for sale by the members of the club, and box sheets will be spread at the International drug store. THE OASIS bespeaks for the proposition a liberal patronage and trusts that the house will be filled both evenings.

 There are in jail several persons charged with offences who were held to appear before the grand jury under the territory; and a grand jury is necessary to consider their eases. The constitution provides that criminal prosecutions may be conducted upon informations filed by the county attorney, instead of by indictments, as heretofore; and there is pending in the legislature a bill providing details for prepar- ing such informations so it is likely that henceforth grand iuries will be drawn infrequeDtly.

The NsW Jury Law.

Thursday MT. Edward L. Mix, Clerk of the Superior Court, receiv. ed from the secretary of state a certified copy of the new jury law, providing for drawing juries under the changed conditions made by the constitution in consolidating the probate and district courts in the superior court, and doing away, with the probate judge, which lat ter official was a member of the jury commissions. Under the law as now framed, which was approv. ed by the governor early in the present week, the county recorder is put upon the jury commissions where the probate judge was a member under the old order.
 It is probable now that Judge Duffy will order juries drawn to come into court the last of the month and early in May, the grand jury on the 18th and trial jury

TRAINS ATTACKED.
And Wreckek by Bandits With Loss of Life, on the Southern Pacific
 of Mexico, In Sonora.

This week two Southern Pacific trains have been attacked by ban- dits in Sonora, on the line of the Southern Pacific, about midway between Empalme and Corral, near Mapoli station and vicinity.
 Wednesday afternoon, as the train from Mazatlan coming toward Nogales was near Mapoli station a mounted band of bandits rode up and opened fire on the cars, the bullets riddling the second class coach, killing one passenger and wounding two others, one a woman. A shot was fired at the engineer, John Rhue, and another at Con- ductor Jack Woodrum and Express Messenger Emery L. Chalfant, who were standing in the doorway of the baggage car, the bullet passing between them. The first class coach and the Pullman were shot into also, although in those cars no one was hit.
 The remains of the passenger killed and the two wounded were taken to Guaymas and cared for there.
 Upon the following day, Thurs day, the southward train, in charge of the same conductor and engi- neer, Jack Woodrum and John Rhue, ran into a bridge, which had been burned, presumably by the same band, at kilometer 55 south from Empalme, wrecking the entire train, except the Pullman, that remaining on the rails, killing the engineer, the fireman and one mail clerk, and severely wounding the other clerk in the mail car. A wrecking train was sent out from Empalme, and the Pullman was taken back to Empalme coming north on the train which arrived at Nogales yesterday morning.
 At this writing, Friday, no in- formation. is at hand as to the number of the bandits in the band which has perpetrated the outrages noted It is inferred that they rode toward Mapoli Wednesday morning with an intention of hold ing up the train, but would reach the station few minutes late, and incensed at the miscalculation of their plans opened fire on the cars as they passed.
