It is announced that a new survey of the Sait Lake & Ogden road will he made via Hooper and Syracuse. The average yield of hay in Utah the past year was 3.54 tons per acre.

SHORT IS LIBERAL. But Will Not Yield to Demands of the Zemstvo. While Emperor Nicholas manifesto on Russian reforms, coupled with the government note of warning on the Bame subject, leaves no doubt that It Is the firm Intention of tho emperor to maintain unimpaired the autocratic principle which no observer here ever imagined he would relinquish, and not yield to the zemstvos demand for a national legislature, the programme of reforms outlined Is a broad one, and If It had not been preceded ty the agitation of the lasv month, probably would have been accepted with universal acclaim in Russia as extremely liberal. The raising of the peasants to an equality with other citiezns of the second empire is alone practically only to the emancipation of the serfs, but hardly less Important are the guarantees which the manifesto directs to be incorporated In the laws for the protection of the personal liberties of the people against the abuses of administrative arbitrariness. The measures taken under the state of siege are no longer permissible, except In cases of crimes against the Btate. The increase of the independence and scope of the doumas and the zemstvos, as well as the creation of smaller zemstvos units, the definite protection of the Jews, Armenians and other unorthodox sects, and the revision of the press laws, are all on the line of the zemstvo demand. The extremists, of course, are not satisfied, and many of the moderate liberals are disappointed. CAUSED BY LIQUOR.

William Will Suppress Brutality. Emperor William of Germany issued a decree a few days ago ordering the adoption of strict measures for the prevention of maltreatment of soldiers.

The negotiations which have been in progress between Japan and China for the occupation of southern Manchuria by Chinese troops in order to lighten the task of the Japanese armies have failed, according to a dispatch from Peking, because Japan could not furnish guarantees lor ths future. The same advices represent Japan influence at Pekin as all powerful. The visit of the Japanese minis ter to Tokio Is asserted to be in con nection with the possibility of early foreign complications for China. Will Try Three Cent Fares. President Horace E.

As the result of Investigations made by direction of General Crozter, chief of ordnance, it has been ascertained that among the 1,750,000 blank cartridges Issued last summer to the regular and militia troops which took part in the maneuvers at Manassas, Va., and In California, two hall cartridges were found, one at the Virginia camp and the other In California. The person who packed the California cartridges was traced by the initials on the box and was promptly discharged. Tra- gedy in Leadville.

Of the twenty-siStates ninepiesidents of the United teen have had only two names each of while seven carried the weight three names. It is a significant fact that while in nomenclature have risen to the highest office in the gilt of the people, there has never been a r rising to this pincaje ot a nacle of fame, although people have risen to great eminence In the common walks of life with four and even five initials to their names. Anyway, the facts in the case are that most of the successful aspirants for the presidential chair have sailed under topsails. Another tact is that presidents cf the United States who have had three except names were never In one conspicuous instance, that of Gen. Ulysses Simpson Grant. Those having a trilogy in their names who failed to be reelected were John Quincy Adams, the first president with a triple name; William Henry Harrison, who died after having been in office only a short time; James K. Polk, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, who was assassinated, and Chester A. Arthur. On the other hand, of the nineteen presidents who had only two names, nine, or nearly half, were elected to this high office a second time. Viewed from the point of time one finds plenty of warning against carrying too much headgear for those intending to enter the troubled waters of politics. From George Washington down to the election of Theodore Roosevelt, a period of 116 years, it is found that for twenty-eigh- t years of this period the presidential chair was occupied by men bearing three names, while during the remaining eighty-eigyears the place was kept warm by men bearing only two names. Wherefore, let it be known to all parents with baby boys that if they cherish hope of their ever becoming presidents of the United States, chances of a realization of these hopes will be Increased by a curtailment of their names.
