Mr. Ilayes in talking over his chances for a pardon was very much opposed to receiving a pardon, claiming that if he was liberated in this manner there would be people who would still consider him guilty of the Pelican 1'oint murder. He wanted a new trial, when, he claimed, he would be able to prove bis innocence. John Woodman, the miner who had his feet and fingers budly frozen near Fairfield, and who underwent an amputation of the members as a result, died the 10th lust, at the hospital in 8alt Lake. The operation following Woodman's terrible ordeal proved too much for him. .Woodman had no relatives in this country, being an Englishman by birth. He was formerly employed at the Silver King in lark City. The state land board has approved the appraisement made of the land in the section on which the state penitentiary is located. In the contest ol Simon Bamberger against Atkinson and others, involvings right of way of the Salt Lake & Hot Springs railway through section 30, township ! north, range 1 west, the board has awarded Mr. Hamburger a strip of land thirty feet wide, instead of fifty feet, as he prayed for. Johan Swen, a husky young Finlander, lies in St. Mark's hospital, Salt Lake City, with his head swathed in bandages These removed, the cranium has much the appearance of a steak. The inpiece of under-done jury was the result of the Union wreck at Sunol, Neb., in which Swen had the misfortune to be. He was coming to Salt Lake with his cousin, having met him in New York on liia way from Finland. Another effort will be made, if Representative Robinson of Kane county can carry it through, to have the Arizona strip ceded to Utah by congress. The territory geographically and logically belongs to Utah, the Colorado river being impassable nearly the entire distance. The strip has become a rendezvous for a horde of lawless characters by reason of its inaccessibility, and southern Utah has paid for e la-cifi- the strip by the valueof livestock that has been driven across the line. In order for an Arizona sheriff to visit the strip it is necessary to travel about 1,000 miles, going via Denver. It is easily appreciable, therefore, that law and order cannot be maintained under existing conditions, liy right Utah should have the strip. Attorney General Itishop one day last week advised County Attorney Morris of St. George that in case an officer duly elected fails to qualify by filing a bond and taking the oath of office the old official holds over for another term.

The president, bis cabinet, distinguished members of the diplomatic corps, members of the supreme court, senate and house and distinguished men in military and civil life, were ranged about his bier on the floor of the hall while the galleries, to which admission could be obtained only by card, were occupied by the families of those who sat upon the floor and prominent persons invited to be present. Home of them, like a delegation from the New York chamber of commerce, had come from a distance to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased statesman. Not since the late William D. Kelly of Pennsylvania, was given a state funeral in the house, during the fifty-fircongress, while President McKinwas chairman of the ways and ley means committee, has such an honor been accorded a member of the house. It was a very simple service. Rev. Newman read the fourteenth chapter of St. John. He then spoke of the deep solemnity of the occasion and the great lesson which might be drawn from the life which had been furnished. All assembled here, he said, to pay their trlbnte to one who stood in life as an example to mankind. Every honorable aspiration and every particle of manliness was touched by the finger of this sorrow. He reviewed briefly the great career of the dead statesman, who, he said, had at last become the pure and highest type of an American citizen in whom his countrymen reposed honor and confidence. When all had departed save the members of the house, Mr. Houtelle (Me.) moved that the house adjourn as a further mark of respect. The motion was adopted, and accordingly, at 12:55 house pi m. , the speaker declared the adjourned. It was a curious coincidence, and one noted by the president himself, that this was the first time he had been in the house of representatives since he was a member from Ohio, and the chairman of the committee on ways and means, of which Mr. Dingley was then a prominent member. st NEW CUBAN CABINET.

Speaker Koylance of the house announced his selection of standing committees at the beginning of yesterday's session. Bills were introduced and referred to the proper committees, prohibiting marriage between persons of different races; defining the boundaries of Wayne County; relating to taxes and life tenants; relating, to taxation of railroad lands; prohibiting the existence of trusts and monopolies in the state of Utah; relating to the duties of railroad corporations; providing for the payment of the regular and contingent expenses of the Third legislature; to provide for the formation of railroad corporations for the purpose of pur chasing and operating railroads, etc., and one for the physical examination of salaried teachers. Salt Lake City, Jan. 15. The first week of the third legislative session of the state of Utah came to a close without anything special to distinguish it from preceding assemblies. As was the case two years ago, both houses of the legislature put in the first week organizing, formulating rules, receiving the governors message, appointing standing committees and preparing for the real work of law making that is to come. At the former session, in 1897, the senate, during the first week, had introduced in it eleven bills, aB against six for the beginning week of this session. In the house of representatives last week twenty-thre- e bills for laws were introduced, compared with eighteen for the preceding assembly. The houses gain offsets the senate's loss in number of bills introduced. For the next week and until the legislature elects a United States senator in the manner provided by law, comparatively little is expected to be done in the way of real legislation. Some time during Tuesday afternoon each house will take a ballot on the candidates for senator, and at noon the next day,, in joint session, balloting will be repeated.' At least one ballot must be taken daily at noon until one of the candidates for senator receives thirty-twa majority, or more votes. The political complexion of the legislature is here given: In the Senate: Wright was called home to Inspect ZB addition to his family. The first vote for a seuator to succeed Senator Cannon will be taken ut today's session. Salt Lake City, Jan. IS. Little business was transacted in either branch of the Utah legislature yesterday, except the first ballot for a senator to succeed Senator Frank J. Cannon.

In addition to its added duties, it now seems probable that the war department will have to supervise the next census taking in the recently acquired possessions of the United States. The census bill as reported to the honse, makes np special provisions for this branch of the work, but if the general terms of the measure are not considered sufficient' to cover this work an amendment will probably he drafted. It is contemplated that in the island of Cuba only the census of the principal cities will be taken, and the population of the island elected upon these returns.
