The jury in the Douglas murder case brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, with a recommendation that he be sentenced to imprison ment for life. Douglas killed his wife at Huntsville in January last. The dry farm grain and lucerne have made marked improvement since the recent rains and large crops are practically assured. Fall wheat and the spring grain is showing up nicely, while the outlook for an abundance of fruit, except peaches, continues good. The two batteries of Utah volunteers broke camp at Fort Douglas on Friday f last week and departed for Manila. A half holiday was declared in the schools, business houses were closed and thousands of people crowded the streets and cheered lustily as the hoys marched to the depot. Two young men of Logan, who are In the habit of gambling, and invariably winning from the boys with whom they play, had the tables turned on them the other eveuing when their former dupes held them up and took from their pockets $35. No arrests will be made as the youthful gamblers dare not make charges. Ed X. Kirby, the Utah mining man who disappeared from Fan Francisco so suddenly and completely about March 1, has returned to civilization from a remote mining locality where he went to examine property and was detained longer than he expected. It was an isolated place with no means of communication. Reports of correspondents indicate that crops throughout the state are very promising and never looked better at this time of the season. Planting corn and potatoes is being pushed, and some of the early planted is up and growing fast. During the absence of her parents, a child of Mr. and Mrs. It. U.

The presen. week will be given almost entirely to the contin nation of the debate on the war revenue biil, and many of the best informed senators express the opinion that the consideration of the bill will be concluded before the end of the week. While the consideration of the bill, except as to objected featu res, has been corn leted, there is still much to be done before the bill can be said to be completed. The item? which have been passed over are those which it was expected from the beginning would consume the greatest amount of time. These include the corporation tax provision, the inheritance tax, the silvei seigniorage and greenback amendments. and also others of more or less importance. Involved in the discussion of the greenback ami seigniorags amendments will be the Republican proposition to restore the bond provision, and there can be no doubt that this question will give rise to a discussion that will cover considerable, time, probably two or three day's at least. There is, however, no apparent desire on the part of the opponents of bonds to consume more time than is necessary to the proper presentation of their view's. During the present week the Hawaiian annexation resolutions are likely to be considered in the house. No positive assurance has been given that a special rule providing for their consideration will bo reported, but it is gen erally understood that in event of the revenue hill being well advanced in the senate, the committee on rules will respond to the majority demand in the house for the immediate disposiiion ol the Hawniian resolution.

The question of locating and engaging a fleet on the open sea which is trying to evade an engagement is not an. easy task. It may take some time to accomplish this result, hut it will be thoroughly done. It is not the intention to merely cripple the fleet and allow part of it to run away. Orders have bee issued to capture or destroy the entire fleet, and no chances are to be taken merely to bring about an early engagement in response to a popular feeling that an early engagement is desirable. Such a battle will immediately be followed by the mobt vigorous actions it is possible to make ia Cuba.
