J Election morning dawned bright and cold but even the frosts failed to chill the arder or stop the gale of enthusiasm that hat blown for the past few days. Tne contest at the heads of the tickets has been the most eventful t ne if that for marshal may be temporarily dismissed. Tur-ner, leading tho citiztns-people- s fusiou has made a desperate fight from the lirst. Personally he is not popular. As a politician he is. There was a limit, j as there always is in a town where a man's political complexion is as pro nounced as his religion, to even Tur- - j ner's artifices however and having sounded the depth of his resources there wag no possibility of going deeper. The result: was that when the polls r opened this morning the canvassers knew almost to a ditinite figure just the number of votes that wore for and T against. On the other hand McNutt, tho liberal candidate for mayor, had a "guessing" clientage the exact strength of which no was capable of approxi-mating. ' ft had been reckoned that most of those liberals and they probably did not exceed 150 who had gone over, misguided, to the enemy would return to the fold and now that the colors are floated and liberalism Is pitched against the traditional order of thinp predictions are being realized. At nis time the tickets are being voted pretty straighc aud tho outlook is most assuring for a complete liberal victory, the possible exception being the loss of a councilman in uiS fifth ward where Frank J. Cannon is running on the citizen s ticket. . In th.) election of marshal much in-terest is centered. The present incum-- " - I!. of the office. J. W. Metcalf, is one of the most popular officers in the territory. Ill hna hffn A 1 Th) nnlv.rif. icism that has been or could be lodged against him wss his refusal to force the saloons to observe the midnight rule. This has lost him some votes among the church-goin- element but wh.ilever injury he may hace sustained in that direction has been repaired by the more conservative classes of both sides. His opponent, George Buck, is no more of a fanatic than is Metcalfe, unless it be that the former loves to chase the hVkle gnddo; through the green jungles of tho gaming house. Possibly that in these follies ho has taken some but'oits from his opponent's string, but not enough to avail him any-thing at the ouicomti. At this time the election is progress-ing quietly, and 2i00 votes will bo polled before the result shall have been registered. .Ouden. Feb. 9. Special to The Times. ) 3 p.m. A very heavy vow is being polled and in two out of five wards 800 vo'es have been deposited. It looks now as if the liberals would make a e'eau sweep. The ticket is de-riving more strength thuu was first counted on from the mormons The election of Metcalf for marshal is con-ceded at this hour, but the hosts are keeping up their work, McNutt, liberal candidate for mayor, is way ahead.

New, Uni-ted States consul-ge- t eral here, was asked if there was any truth in the statement that President Hirrison had called him to return Immediately to the United States with a view to con-ferin- g the treasury pertfolio upon him. Mr. New said : "I have not received any message from President Harrison, and I know nothing about any proposition to offer me the treasury portfolio." In a further interview today in re-gard to the vacancy in the cabinet, Con-sul General New said: "I do not ex-pect; 1 do not desire the treasury port-folio." IN A SIBERIAN MINE. Am American's Awful Suffering Chained ta Corpaa. Boston, Feb. 9. The Herald this morning publishes tho story of Captain Morris, relating his experience as a prisoner for three years in a Siberian coal mine. Morris was captain of the schooner "Helena," which sailed from Yoknbonia April 11. 11), on a cruiso for walrus. They captured a walrus in Russian territory, and the schooner was captured by a Huisiau gunboat. The schooner and crew were taken to Vladivostock. where 4hey were tried and convicted of violating the seal and fishing laws and condemned to impris-onment in the coal mine for three years. Captain Morris was fastened to a Pole, the chain being eight feet long. After being fastened the captain saw no one but tho Polo until he wit libera-ted, not being allowed to leave the mine during the entire three years, sleeping on tho floor of the mine and subsisting on rice soup. .At tho end of three months his companion died, but no one came to release, him from the bod v. At the end of fifteen days, the captain cut the Pole's body in two with a shovel and got it upon a load of coat. When Morris came out he found that F. C. Crocker of Seaisport, Maine, one of his crew, had just been released. Together they walked 1.50 mile to Vladivostock, the'Ronsians refusing tbem' transporta-tion. They were ragg"d and sore vfrom bites of vermin. An American vessel took them to Nagasa-ki, where the United States consul pro-vided them with clothing and they took thjir first hot balb in three years. The conivl furnished them with trans-portation to Yokohama, from whence they went to San Fraueinco, Morris finally reaching Boston, his native place, last November. Last Friday he left the house of a friend to come to this city, and since that time ho has been missing. i lUlpll). Six Trains St tick In the Snow Be-tween Cheyenne and Sid-ney, Neb.

J When the reading of the journal in the house was reached this morning, Emery objected to the approval of Saturday's proceedings until some information was given by the speaker as to what had been done with the resolution regarding tho eleo-tio- n of a senator. This the speaker said would be stated at the proper time. It was moved that the approval of the journal go over until tomorrow, but the speaker ruled it out of order. Em-ery then moved that the journal be not approved, and it was not approved by a vote of 11) to 17. When unfinished business was reach-ed in the order of business, the speaker stnrted to puss it, when Kmery asked what tho speaker intended to do with tho resolution. This created a heated debate, aud Price offered an amend-ment in the form of a preamble, mak-ing read that Dubois was elected be-yond doubt. Finery demanded the previous ques-tion; the vote on the previous question was ordered by a vote of l'J to 17. Lyon made a motion to lay this on the table. The chair started to put the motion, when he was reminded the pre-vious question was ordered, so he ruled Lyon's motion out of order. The amendment was put and lost bv a vote of 1.1 to I'l. Price arose and g'tve notice that on Tuesday he would make a motion to reconsider tho vote. The speaker e.x- - ilained the rules of the house and said 'rice was not in order.

Tha Daellon or tha Court of Claim Nut learning. Revereed. Washington, Feb. 9. It is learned from a letter recently sent by Taylor, commissioner of railroads, to the secre-tary of tho interior that action is about to bo taken under the recent de-cision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of the United States, appellant, vs. the Ceutral Pacific railroad company. This decision re-verses the decision of the court of claims, in which it is held that in the process of ascertaining the net earnings of the Union and Central Pacific rail-road companies, upon which 25 perceut is required to be paid to the govern-ment under the Thurman act. it was proper to deduct from the gross earn-ings not only the actual operating ex-penses necessary for repairs and inter-est on the lirst mortgage bonds but also that there should be deducted all sums paid for improvements, betterments and new equipment. Tho supreme court rever-ses this decision and holds holds that under the Thurman act the net earnings must be ascertained by de-ducting from the gross earnings the actual operating expenses and neces-sary repairs made within the year aud interest on the first mortage bonds. Under this method the calculation of net earniugs; the Central Pacitio company will be increased $2,000,000, and the net earn-ings of the Union Pacitio company nearly 17,000,000, f iuce the passage of the Thurman act, 25 per ceut of which sums are now to be recovered by the government. A letter received by the secretary from Commissioner Taylor calls attention to the decision of the court and suggests that it will be necessary to make a restatement of ac-counts with these roads and asks the secretary., for Instructions in the matter. Commissioner Taylor, under orders from Secretary Noble, has had a con-ference with tne acting secretary of the treasury with a view of getting a full report on all bills for the services of tiie Union and Central Pacitio companies on tile in the treas-ury department aud not acted upou. He intended to ascertain accurately the state of the accounts between the government and these roads aud then insist upon a prompt payment of the amounts found to be due.

Special to The Times. The Claggett sena-torial fight shows some queer develop-ments, and theJDubois men going into the move have probably reserved some handsome promises, and each one has an axe to grind.

Representative Briges is anx-ious for the division of Bingham coun-ty, but , claims for his desertion of Dubois that he (Dubois) made all kinds of promises and bargains, obtain-ing his election through fraud and Briggs is the man who nominated Dubois. King, of Elmore, deserted for the same reason but is anxious for the agricultural or scientific school at Mountain Home. The remainder of those flop-ping were for Shoupand The democrats, with one exception, are solid for Claggett, and it is believed they have his hands tied, should he be seated.

Three important questions are to rotne tin for consideration (lna of these relates to difficulties with lab-orers aud will be brought up by the re-port of the committee on arbitration.

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROORAMHSi. Ilualii.ai That Will Probablybe Diapoa.d of During tha W..k. Washington, Feb. 9. The two branches of congress inado rapid pro gress during last week in the transac-tion of public business, but there is a general disposition to do even more work daily henceforward. In the sen-ate (his we.'k. tho naval appropriation bill will probably be called, after final action is reached on the eight-hou- r bill, and the District of Columbia and dip-lomatic aud consular appropriation bills reported from committee during the week. Other measures that will probably intervene are the copyright bill, the Indian depredations bill and the Nicaragua canal bill. h is within the bounds of possibility that an effort will be made to attach a free silver coinage rider to one of the appropriation bills, iu which case some delay may result. , The appropriation bills will probably continue to absorb nearly all the timo of the house for some days to come, and the prospect for any general legis-lation during this wek is not bright. The silver bill and the report of tho Ratlin investigating committeo are sub-jects which may be precipitated upon the house during the week, but in what form it is impossible to predict.

B.coming lntna, Manti, Feb. 9. Special to The Times. The political situation is con-stantly changing, and the muddled state of affair furnishes nn topic for conversation. Such an unprecedented uprising among tho people's party against priostly interfer-ence at elections has caused even the County Register, of Ephraim, to come out with a editorial in de-fense of the original party ticket. The Sentinel, of Manti, devotes a column to both parties. When an attempt at peaceable reconciliation was made by tho interference of stake authorities, and the project failed, the citizens went to work with renewed energy for the success of their ticket. Now comes the announcement that the higher ecclesiastical functionaries have counseled all members of the high council to withdraw from both tickets. This takes out Ezra Shoemaker, the nominee for mayor, and A. W. Bessy, candidate for councilor, from the peoples' ticket, aud Andrew Peterson, candidate for councilor on the citizens' ticket.
