Senator Clark comes to Salt| Lake for the purpose of attending a meet- | ing of the directors of the San Pedro road, which will be peld here Monday. During the day Senator Clark was in conference with Senator Kearns of Utah, Hon. R. C. Kerens of St. Louis, J. Ross Clark of Los Angeles and others identified with the new road. In an interview this afternoon Secnator Clark declared most emphatically that the road connecting Los Angeles and Salt Lake would be built. Everything relating to financial affairs, he said, had been ac- cepted, contracts had been let for agreat | deal of engineering work and considerable | equipment ordered. Definite and financial plans will be de- Ic(ded on at Monday's meeting, after which the work of construction will be actively commenced and pushed through to completion. As to the Uvada contest pending in the Federal court at Carson City, the Senator said he hoped for a fa- vorable decision, but should it be against the San Pedro Company it would not _eral plans, | tumstances for | Friends of Officers Guilty tion. Higher speed with greater safety has been assured. This means greater | comfort and better business conditions for | passengers and also more favorable cir- the promotion of trade. The establishment of the steamshlp lanes on the Pacific Ocean is not, therefore, in the mature of an experiment in any de- gree. It is a boon the value of which is at once apparent. Safety Is Promotad. The larmes will be thirty miles wide. Steamers will be less liable to total loss after being partially disabled when it 1s | certain that other vessels pursuing the same route are likely soon to come within view. The width of thirty miles has been | established after very careful considera- tion, and has received the approval of | the best maritime authorities.

Spectal Dispateh to The Call. SALT LAKE, June 2).—The Deseret News to-day says: From a semi-official source comes the intelligence that ‘within the next three years Salt Lake City will become the railway cgnter of the inter- mountain region. As soon as the Harri- man and Gould interests have ‘perl’e:tedl their plans, so the authority states, and the same are in good running order, the Unicn Pacific. headquarters will be trans- ferred to Salt Lake, so that the affairs of the Oregon Short Line, the Oregon Ralil- road and Navigation Company, the South- ern Pacific and the parent Union Pacific system can be directed from a central point. This move, it is stated, has been in con- templation for some time by the Union Pacific officials. L e e e e i any suggestion or report received from the Comptroller. The Comptroller realizes in all prob- abllity there has been serlous violation of the law by the bank officlals and he does not propose to shield them from prosecution. Overcertification, as it is called among bankers, Is said to be com- mon not only in New York but in Chicago and other citles. Some of the New York papers admit this and have suggested that the Comptroller give notice he will prosecute such violation of law, Dawes will not act on the suggestlion. Europe Is Concerned. An effort will now be made to have Eu- ropean governments join with the United | States in surveying a large portion of the Pacific that is improperly charted, or not at all in parts. This stretch of water is an elongated triangle, the apex being at | Honolulu and the base extending from | orthern Japan to the southern end of the Philippine archipelago. There is no doubt that this will meet with success, for the lively interest taken by all European | nations in the Orient indicates that they | have reasons for wishing commerce to move with safety, as they will be largely concerned on their own account.

Aguinaldo. Epecial Dispatch to The Call CALL BU: REAI' HOG G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 29.—The Army and Navy. Register in its Issue to-day makes the statement that it was not Gen- eral Funston who discovered the location of Aguinaldo but Lieutenant J. D. Taylor of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. The Reg- ister says: 3 Taylor was fn command of the company of his regiment at, Pantabangan in the fastnesses of the Caraballo Motntains, seventy-five miles from the rallway. In May, 1900, one Procopio Linsangan was appointed Chlef of Police-and gained the confidence of Taylor, to whom he made the proposition that a nafive military band be organized. Procople was sent to Manila under a pass to purchase the necessary musi- cal Instruments, and in his absence Taylor learned the man was Ip reality Major Mesarlo Alambria of the insurrectos, and _some of the enemy were In the nelghborhood ting a call to arms they had convenlently hidden. It further developed that Procoplo Linsangan never went to Manlla. In February last a party of captured insurgents was brought to Taylor's quarters. They proved to be deserters from Alambria’s company and one of the mem- bers, & sergeant named Sanz, was forced to divulge the hiding place of a number of Fili- pino documents, Including letters addressed to Fillpino officials and Linsangan's wife. It .took & geod deal of effort in the way of tracking down the Insurgents and following up clews by Taylor before he was able to ascer- ‘tain that Aguinaldo was at Palanan under the dom and Hengkong than from the do- mains of any other people, inclusive of the United Smts< ip lanes are devised by the t primarily for the use of the steamship lines and not for sailing ves- sels. The latter being subject more to atmospheric conditions and being com- | pelled often to go far from their courses by reason of *adverse winds, would not find it practicable to atiempt to pursue a lane on the vast width of the Pacifie Ocean. The subject is of great importance to the port of San Francisco, and also to all ports of the the United States that use or will use their port as a gateway for incoming and outgoing ocean commerce. The map will largely interest all the ship- ping men of the Pacific Coast. .

B, June 20.—The An- chor line steamer Armenia, on her way to St. John from New York, went ashore in a fog this morning on Nigger Head, about seven miles from this point, and hopes of saving the yessel are about abandoned. Tugg sent to the Armenia's rescue made every effort to move the steamer, but met with failure and the at- tempt was given up, the crew being taken on board one of the tugs and brought to this city. The falling tide caused the steamer to careen and she now lies on her side, the water running into her hold and with the outlook that at high tide she would be totally submerged. The Armenia was in ballast, and was coming here to load lumber. She is 2218 tons register, and was under command of Captain J. W. Shanklin. —_— Thomas Takes a Bride.
