RK OF OUTLAWS
Assassinate Xwo Utah Officers
Who Are in Pursuit
THE DEAD MEN WERE UNARMED
Governor Has Authorized Vigorona
Hanllng: of the Gang- and a Des
' perate Fight Will Take Place.
SALT .LAKE, May 27. A special to the
Herald from Thompson, Utah, says:
A cowardly assassination occurred about
5j miles north of here yesterday at noon.
Sheriff Tyler, of Grand County, and Sam
Jenkins, a cattle-owner, were shot and
, instantly killed by outlaws on Hill Creek,
about 0 miles north of here.
The Sheriff, Jenkins and Deputy Sheriff
Day have been on the hunt for cattle
rustlers for several days, in fact, ever
alnco they killed George Currle on April
If. The posse had separated from Sheriff
Greece, of Uintah County, and posse, ear
ly in the morning, the latter being about
three miles away when the shooting oc
curred. The story of the killing, as told
by Deputy Sheriff Day, who was only
about 50 yards away when the shooting
Occurred, is a follows:
The officers came upon the outlaws'
camp unexpectedly. As soon as they saw
the outlaws they dismounted and ad
vanced towards them. When within a few
yards from the outlaws. Sheriff Tyler
apoke to them, saying, "Hello, boys."
Tho reply made could not be heard by
Deputy Sheriff Day. but Immediately af
ter It was made. Sheriff Tyler and Jen
kins turned towards their horses, sup
posedly with the Intention of leaving to
get more assistance. As soon as their
backs were turned, the outlaws shot them
through the back, the bullets coming out
of their breasts, killing them almost in
stantly. Mr. Day was a witness to the killing, but
was In such a position that he could offer
no assistance. As soon as they were
killed he started for assistance, when the
outlaws turned their guns on him, shoot
ing twice, but missed him.
Mr. Day then started In search of Sher
iff Preece and posse of seven men. who
were about three miles away. As soon as
he found them they decided it advisable
to come for more assistance, as there Is
supposed to be quite a number of outlaws
in the party, they having about 20 horses
with them. Mr. Day saw three outlaws,
but Is sure there are more of them.
They left the bodies of Sheriff Tyler and
Sam Jenkins where they fell and came
nere, arriving about 10 this morning. Tho
bullets used by the outlaws were of the
eoft-nose variety, and where they came
out there are holes almost large enough
for a man to Insert his fist.
Governor Wells has been notified of the
cowardly killing, and asked for assistance,
and he has taken prompt action in the
matter and guaranteed all expenses of the
pursuing party. Sheriff Howells and the
posse of 10 men and seven horsas from
Salt Lake are now en route to this place.
Sheriff AHfed and posse from Price are
also expected. These, with a posse of 10
anon on horses from Moab, who are also
on route here, will make quite a large
expedition, and they will leave here in"
the morning for the scene of the killing,
and for pursuit of the outlaws. Governor
Wolls has requested that every effort be
made to capture tho outlaws, and It will
surely be done, as everybody is deter
mined that the murder of Tyler and Jen
kins shall be avenged. A hard fight will
turely occur if they succeed In overtaking
tho outlaws, as the latter have made
n their brags that they whipped 30 men In
Wyoming, and can do tho samo In Utah.
Only one of the outlaws Is positively
known; that Is Dllley. Some of the others
"are supposed to have been Implicated In
the train-robbery on the Union Pacific
Railway about a year ago.
The people of this place and surround
ing towns are greatly excited over the
cowardly killing, as both men were very
well known and popular. Sheriff Tyler
-was fearless in the discharge of his du
ties. Fear was unknown to him. Sam
Jenkins was also well known. He came
o this state from Nevada about 15 years
ago. Both the murdered men were un
married, but Mr. Jenkins was to marry a
lady of Park City In a short time.
AVhat makes the killing- more cowardly
Is the fact that the officers were unarmed
when they were shot down. They left
their rifles on the saddles when they dls
'mounted, and approached tho outlaws on
loot.
It. L. Fullerton, manager of the Web
eter City Cattle Company, and some more
employes of that company, 'were expected
here this afternoon. Their route layi
near the outlaw" camp, and.- as they
have not yet arrived. It Is feared that they
have been attacked and. probably mur
dered. HE SWALLOWED DIAMONDS.

BUSINESS IX GERXAXT.
Moner Soon to Be Easier Industrial
and Political Affairs.
BERLIN, May 27. One of the directors
of the Relchsbank Interviewed yesterday
by tho correspondent of the Associated
Press, regarding the financial situation,
said:
"At today's meeting of tne central com
mittee. It was asserted that the situation
would not yet warrant a reduction In the
discount rate. The new discounts are
now of smaller dimensions, but a compar
ison of the bank's statue now with that
of a year ago is unfavorable. The metal
stock is less by C6,000,000 marks, and tho
prospects for an Increase aro not good.
"Germany is not receiving foreign gold,
although Russian gold to the amount of
45,000,000 francs has gone to France slnco
May 1, and a considerable quantity to
London. The'reduction of the bank rates
on London and Paris has favorably affect
ed our exchange prices, as well as private
discounts, and therefore I think a reduc
tion of our rate will follow probably with
in a week.
"Manufacturers will hesitate to enlarge
their plants now, since the view has
spread that the boom has reached its cli
max." The Iron situation is less rosy. Con
trary to tho announcement that all the
output for 1900 has been sold, small lots
are still offered.
Herr Eugene Wolff, the explorer, has an
artlclo in the Berliner Tageblatt, advc
eating the organization of wholesale ex
port of coolies from Klao Chou. and the
entire Province of Shan Tung to Gorman
colonies, especially those in Africa. He
contends that without such labor the colo
nies will be ruined.
Tho result of tho Reichstag by-lec-tlon
in Nuremburg is the return of the
Socialist candidate, Herr Sudkum, by a
large majority.
A torpedo flotilla is now proceeding
slowly down the Rhine, and will arrive
at Rotterdam June 4.
London Stocks Still Lifeless.
LONDON', May 27. In spite of the good
war news and of cheaper money, the
stock exchange is still lifeless, the pub
lic "being conspicuous by its absence.
Americans met with a set-back last week,
largely because of the failure of Price,
McCormlck & Co., of New York. They
closed dull, although the fall was merely
fractional. The news of, Lord Roberts
crossing the Vaal was not received In time
to affect mines, which again receded last
week, although Rands closed & better.
The reduction in the Bank of England
rate was due to tho arrival of 1,000,003
in Russian gold. TheTe was also a sharp
fall in discounts, and a further reduction
in the rate is expected shortly. Money
was easier, until Monday 1H to li, for
a week l?i to 2, and on three months'
bills 54 to .
Socialists Celebrated In France.
PARIS, May 27. The Socialists cele
brated the anniversary of the Commune
today with tho usual pilgrimage to Pere
la Chaise Cemetery, against the walls of
which the Communards were shot. The
procession was formed at a hall near
the entrance, from which point, headed
by the Socialist leaders, the demonstrators
marched to the graves of the notable vic
tims who were executed during what the
Socialists call "bloody week." The "Car
magnole" and anarchist songs were sung
and revolutionary cries -were raised. Tho
police confined their Interference to seiz
ing a few flags. Several slight conflicts
resulted, and one or two policemen wero
scratched. A few arrests were made.
Disorder on Account of "Boxers."
SHANGHAI. May 27. Reports received
today indicate that affairs around Peking
are extremely critical, owing to the de
feat of the government troops by the
Boxers. It Is now regarded here as cer
tain that foreign troops must be sent to
Peking to protect the legations, while the
withdrawal of missionaries from the Inte
rior Is considered Imperative. Large por
tions of the provinces of Pe Chi LI and
Shan Tung are in a state little better than
absolute anarchy, and disorder is spread
ing in the Province of Shan Si, In conse
quence of encouragement received from
the Empress Dowager.

OUR SALES TO GERMANS
LARGER GAIX THAN IX TRADE
WITH AXY OTHER COUNTRY.
Shrinkage i Single Item of Provis
ions Figures Shovringr Amount
and Character of Trade.
WASHINGTON, May 27. American
commerce with Germany does not thus far
show any falling off as the result of the
recent agitation in Germany upon that
subject. Indeed, our exports to Germany
during tho nine months ending with
March, 1S00, show a larger gain than those
to any other country, the total for the
nine months being 5142,7S1,4S9. against
5123.222.C17 in the corresponding months of
last year, making a gain of 519,558,872, a
larger Increase than In our exports to any
other country. In the single item of pro
visions, however, thero is a reduction of
about 15 per cent, while In nearly all other
articles there is a marked increase. Even
In provisions the falling off in the nine
months under consideration is but about
5200,000; this is less than the Increase In
copper or in illuminating oil, and but about
one-half the increase in corn alone, being
also but one-third of the Increase in the
single "item of cotton.
The detailed statement of our exports
to Germany during the nmo months ended
with March show an increase in cotton,
corn, flour, fruits and nuts, cottonseed
oil, seed, tobacco, manufactured and un
manufactured, coal, copper, illuminating
oil, agricultural Implements, electrical and
scientific Instruments, clocks and watches,
builder's hardware, sewing - machines,
boots and shoes, and numerous other ar
ticles, while the chief reductions affect
provisions, wheat, live animals, hides and
skins, typewriters, sole leather, oil
cake and lumber. That the reduction
in these few articles Is far less- than the
increase In tho other articles Is shown
by the fact, abready mentioned, that the
net gain In our exports to Germany is
nearly 520,000,000, and. Is greater than the
gain in exports to any other country, tho
increase for the month of March alone
being over 57,000,000.

FRAXCE SEES PROSPERITY AHEAD
Capital "Wants Canals Dug Large
Trade "With United States.
WASHINGTON. May 27. The United
State Consul at Marseilles, in his annual
report, printed In the forthcoming volume
of commercial relations, to issue from
the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, State
Department, says that, while recent years
have constituted a period of liquidation
In France, the whole country seems now
prepared to emerge Into commercial pros
perity. Capital has feared revolutions,
and business has been as bad as it could
be, but there has come a change, and
partisans now clamor for the digging of
a great canal from Marseilles to the
Rhine, for the canalization of the Loire,
and for the creation of a ship canal con
necting Paris with the sea. These schemes
are cited by the Consul as signs of tho
times.
The relations of Marseilles with New
York are more Important to the local In
dustrial interests than are those of any
other port, and enormous expansion is
taking place in trade in both exports and.
imports. The exports to the United States
In 1S99 amounted to 54,12.263, yet in this
movement, says the Consul, the American
flag was totally unrepresented.
LAST CALL TO PRUNEGROWERS
Attempt of California Association to
Control the Crop.
SAN JOSE, CaL, May 27. The Califor
nia Cured Fruit Association is making a
final attempt to control the prune crop
this season. A last appeal has been sent
out to growers. In the shape of an ad
dress suggesting that the packers modify
their contracts In the following particu
lars: FIrpi By striking out the provision
guaranteeing prices, when once made by
the board, and leave the same to bo
changed from time to time In Its discre
tion. Second That they waive their demand
for 90 per cent of the crop, and leave
the question of percentage of the crop to
be secured to the decision of the manage
ment of the association.
Third That they agree not to deal with
any broker or Jobber who would not
limit his dealings in or sales of prunes
to those controlled by the association.
Fourth To do away with the Incentive
to cut prices, and to simplify the trans
action of their business with the associa
tion, that they agree to organize into a
corporation and deal with the association
as one person.
Xext House May Be Close.
WASHINGTON. May 27. Representa
tive Joseph W. Babcock, of the Third
District of Wisconsin, chairman of the
Republican Congressional Committee, said
tonight that in his opinion the control of
the next House would be close. He said
that, while the reports he had received
from various parts of the country Indicat
ed the re-election of President McKlnley,
tho loss of a few districts would give the
Democrats a majority In the House. Mr.
Babcock also expressed the opinion that
Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks, of In
diana, had the best -chance at present of
any of the candidates for the Vlce-Pres-Identlal
nomination.
"If Senator Fairbanks Is not nominat
ed." said he. "the candidate probably will
come from the far Wesf.
"There will be a close fight for the con
trol of the House. We have only 13 ma
jority now, and we shall probably lose
some districts In the Middle .Western
States. We expect, however, to make up
any losses that we may sustiln In New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts."
Congressman Babcock said b,e thought
Congress would not adjourn till June 9.

KRAEILER'S FINE WORK.
Won a Heart-BreakingT Race, and
5000 Spectators Howled.
NEW YORK, May 27. Frank Kraemer,
the ex-amateur cyclist, again proved to
day that he will be a very dangerous
factor In professional racing this season.
He rode at the Vallsburg board track and
met the fastest of field riders this coun
try can produce "in two races. He was
caught napping in the half-mile, and fin
ished fourth, but In the flve-ralle he rode
from scratch and won a heart-breaking
race In a superb finish, which brought
the 5000 spectators to their feet, howling
with enthusiasm.
The half-ml!e heats were a succession of
loafs, with a wild sprint down the home
stretch. The stars all qualified, with the
exception of Tom Cooper, who ran Into
a pocket. For the final. Kraemer, Mc
Farland, Stevens, Downing and Fisher
lined up. The first quartet then maneu
vered for position. Then McFarland
started away, with Stevens at his rear
wheel, and the others fell in behind. Mc
Farland, turning Into the strotch, sprint-
ed with a clean lead, and, going faster
at every jump, won me race, witn Stevens
second.
In tho five-mile handicap the scratch
men caught the long-markera after four
miles of hard plugging, almost entirely
through McFarland's efforts at pacing.
Kraemer lay back, taking advantage of
this. On the last lap he got a "slelgh
rlde" back of Eaton, who acted as his
team mate, and pulled him up to. the
J leaders. Then, In a stirring sprint of
an eigmn or a mue, itraemer outroao
the others easily, winning by a length
in very fast time. Summaries:
Open, half-mile, professional Won by
F. A. McFarland. San Jose; A. L. Ste

THE CONSULAR SERVICE
BELLS
BEFORE COXGRESS
GEXERAL REFORM.
FOR-JC
Strong Petition From an Organiza
tion in Favor of Promoting1 -American
Commerce. ,
WASHINGTON May 23. The pending-
bills for reforming the consular service
of the United States have excited' a wide
spread interest, and while it is not likely
that they will pass, the comments that
they have aroused are quite interesting,
the more so as the general merits of the
bill are apparent upon Its face. One of
the strongest indorsements, the' bill has
yet received Is that of the American As
sociation of China, which seems to be a
most active society in promoting Ameri
can commercial relations with the Orient.
This association recently petitioned Con
gress In behalf of the consular reform
bill, saying:
"In adding an expression of our hearty
approval of the measure to the .indorse
ment of affiliated organizations, having
for their object the pTofnotlon of American
trade and other Interests abroad, we feel
that we need only refer to certain features
which commend It peculiarly to us as
residents of this empire.
"The position of foreigners In China
renders them especially dependent upon
their consular representatives for protec
tion, both as to their lives and property,
and in respect of their commercial and
othef Interests, under the rights and privi
leges secured to them by treaty with the
Government of this country. As It may
not be always remembered by their friend?
at home, they are subject to the Jurisdic
tion of their respective nationalities, and
It Is therefore essential that their repre
sentatives should be men of character and
capacity and thoroughly conversant with
the laws which they are called upon to
administer.
"In tho case of Americans, our consuls
have almost unlimited power, extending
even to capital cases, and It may well be
believed that we feel a more than usual
Interest In tho qualifications pf our con
sular representatives. We observe, there
fore, with much satisfaction that a clause
In the proposed bill requires that consu
lar officers appointed to countries where
(as in China) extra-territorlallty Is provid
ed for by treaty, shall have passed an
examination in the principles of common
law, the rules of evidence and the trial
of civil and criminal cases.
"A further provision of peculiar appli
cability to tho service In this country that
wo should like to see Incorporated In the
regulations, is one for the appointment of
student interpreters. In order to place our
service on a par with that of Great Britain
and the Continental nations! At present
our consuls labor under a great disadvan
tage in having no personal acquaintance
with the Chinese language while their
duties entail constant Intercourse with
the native officials "and the hearing of
judicial cases to which natives are a
party, or appear as witnesses. Proficiency
In tho language would be. of great assist
ance In connection with the frequent cases
arising from our missionary Interests In
Interior stations, remote from the treaty
ports, which our consuls are called upon
to adjust.
"Such proficiency can only be acquired
by years of study-, and with this comes a
knowledge of native character that only
lengthened experience can yield. To in
duce young men of ability to enter thls
branch of the service it would be needful
that it be made not only permanent dur
ing good behavior, but that the Incum
benta should be in the regular line of pro
motion, and that proficiency In the lan
guage should rank high, among the quali
fications for such promotion. In uie Brit
ish, service, all the consular officers have
entered as student interpreters and risen
thence through the various grades to the
highest posts, and in s6me cases they have
been: transferred to the diplomatic serv
ice. "The feature of permanency In tho serv
ice, under the operation of the civil serv
ice laws, with promotion for merit, etc.,
for which tho pending bill provides, Ib
one that we cannot too highly commend.
Conditions in China have so little In. com
mon with those of civilized lands that the
frequent changes of our consular officers
are peculiarly unfortunate. They have
scarcely time to acquaint themselves with
the duties of their position before a change
of Administration may cause their remo
val and supersession by Inexperienced
successors.
"That tho service has not suffered more
seriously may be taken as evidence of the
characteristic adaptability of our coun
trymen to novel conditions, but cases have
not been lacking where utterly unfit and
Inefficient officers have "secured appoint
ments, to the no slight discredit and dis
advantage of thoso they came to repre
sent. "Tho pending bill contemplates no pres
ent removal of existing officers, as It ex
plicitly provides for their continuance In
office for two years, after which they
shall be privileged to compete under the
rules for reappointment or promotion. A
permanent career Is therefore opened for
all efficient officers, and It can scarcely
be doubted that the bill will have their
hearty approval. It Is not to be supposed,
however, that the existing consuls In
Eastern lands would be expected to quali
fy In Oriental languages as In the case of
student Interpreters, although some ac
quaintance with them might reasonably
be expected, after a term of years. In the
case of the Chinese Foreign Customs Serv
ice, although the appointees were for the,
most part, at tho outset, quite Ignorant
of the language. Its study was made a
condition of promotion, and at present
a good knowledge of it is a sine qua non,
with the result that a most efficient staff,
with an eminently worthy representation
of our own countrymen on it, has been
secured. Cannot the Great Republic open
to Its sons a career abroad equal to that
offered" by the Chinese Empire?
"In view of the growing Interest mani
fested at home n our relations with this
country we think the occasion most op
portune for pressing upon Congress a
measure that we are convinced will great
ly promote the Interests, both material
and moral, of our countrymen. It Is not
alone In America that Chinese affairs are
attracting manked attention. The nations
of Europe are letting slip no opportunity
of pressing their Interests m this coun
try. Among the means of doing so their
efficient consular systems hold a promi
nent place. The rapidly growing foreign
trade of China justifies every effort on
our part to secure tho legitimate share ac
cruing to us China's nearest over-sea
neighbor, but, although we have a com
manding position in this respect we can
not afford to Ignore the active competition
with whlclj we are confronted. It is no
torious that tho representatives of other
foreign powera are very much alive to
tho promotion of their constituents' com
mercial interests.
"We have learned with great satisfac
tion of the triumph of our diplomacy la
securing guarantees from the other treaty
powers of the "open-door" policy in this
country. A reorganized consular system,
such as the "Chambers of commerce bill,"
would. In our opinion, contribute In larga
degree toward enabling us to avail our
selves of this free entrance for our trad
to the best advantage.
"With these considerations In view, this
association has adopted the following- pre
amble and resolutions:
"Whereas, The bill entitled a "bill to
remodel the consular service of the
United States, which has been presented
In both Houses of Congress, appears to
embody a satisfactory plan for the reor-
I ganlzatlon ot the consular, service of the
I country; therefore, be It -
I "Resolved, That this association favors
the adoption and passage of the bill
named, and the use of all lawful and
proper means to promote its passage and
enactment into law."

STILL TALK OF INTERVENTION.
Boer Envoys Base This Hope on the
Defeat of McKlnley.
NEW YORK. May 2S. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Intervention by the United States In the
South African War Is still hoped for by
the Boer Commissioners, and they base
their continuing faith on the possible de
feat of McKlnley for re-election. Looking
far ahead, they figure that, while Lord
Roberta may reach Pretoria within 10
days, the garrison can withstand a siege
until November. If McKlnley is re
elected the collapse of the war will be
precipitated; If Bryan Is elected the Boers,
they think, will take fresh courage and
hold out as long as possible. In the hope
that he will give them active support.
With thla Idea In view, the Boer Com
missioners are expected, after another
visit to Europe, following a two weeks
tour of the West, to return to the United
States in September to resume their ef
forts to create sympathy for their cause.
According to the envoys' theories, Eu
rope stands ready to Intervene If the Unit
ed States will lead the way. They say
they found, while on the Continent, that
tho powers were some ot them opposed to
taking action by the fear that the United
States would throw its support to Great
Brialn. The Boers' brief; stay in th
country, and the reports received from
friends in the West, have convinced the
delegates that the United States would
not actively aid the British Government
In case of Intervention by Europe. On
the other hand, one of the European rep
reeentatlves here stated that the Brlt'sh
would be undoubtedly allowed to do what
they wished in South Africa.
"It Is true that the sympathy of the
Continent is with the Boers," he said,
"but it would be hazardous in the extreme
for any nations to act except together.
Europe had been carefully watching the
attitude of the United States in this mat
ter, and while it understands that the
sympathy of this country Is strongly pro
Boer, it knows that intervention In tho
Boers' behalf by this country is out of
the question."

WASHINGTON, May 27. The time c
the Senate during the present week wU
be divided largely between the, dlscussio
of the Philippine question and the cot
slderation of the appropriations, with
diversion about the middle ot the week I
the Clark case.
Senator "Wellington will speak Monda
on the Boer resolution, and ho will b
followed that day or the day following by
Senator Teller on tha Philippine question
SDeeches on the PhillDDlne Question also
will bo made by Senators Pettlgrew andl
Turner, and probably by other Senators..
There Is apparently no probability of the
Philippine bill .passing, but there is a
general desire on the part of the oppo-
si Hon to reply to Senator Spooners speech
.before the. clpse- ot the present session. ,
The sundry civil appropriation bill will
probably be considered for two or three
days more, and by the time that it is dis--
posed of, the general deficiency bill will .
be ready for consideration. Neither tne
deficiency nor the Military Academy bills,
the only appropriation bills undisposed of.
except the sundry civil bill, Is expected to
consume any considerable amount o
time.
The Senate will make an effort to meeN
the plans of the House In the matter oi
final adjournment on June 6, but there Isi
a general apprehension among Senatorr
that the date may be postponed until tht
9th or the Uth. In addition to the ap-i
propriatlon bills still undisposed of by the!
Senate, there are still several approprla-j

to name the date of adjournment until
