Day mailed reports to tbe Indian com
missioner and a short report to General
McCook. Mr. Young was in Monticello,
Uiab, the center of tbe reported troubles,
this week, and says all of the trouble
there is caused by hot and impetuous
cowboys on one side and tbe Pab Ules, or
renegade Indians, on the other. He says
the Southern Utes, with the exception of
Chief Marian!,' who is surly and impu

not desire trouble of any kind, Mr.
Young stated, however, that tbe cooserv

Washington, Dec. 1 There is a stroog
undercurrent of belief among members
of congress that tbe Nicaragua canal will
receive very earnest consideration duriDg
the seasjon of congress wbicb . begins
Monday. Tbe feeliog is especially pro
nounced in tbe bou9e, and prevails
particularly among tbe southern mem
bers. Even those who, like Bally of
Texas, oppose the hill on constitutional
and economic grounds, concede the ques
tion will receive early attention, and most
of them are tf tbe opialon tbat tbe pros
pects ot its success are good. Mr. Cooper,
ot Florida, says nothing could restore tbe
popularity of tbe Democratic party aa
authorizing tbe construction of :he canil
He said. ''The Democratic party is tbe
party which added tbe Mississippi valley
and Pacific coast to tbe national map,
and it is the party which should provide
for rh'.s great enterprise. If it will do
this during tbe short session and provide
for a more elastic currency I infer it will
not long be out of power."
Representative Livingstone, of Georgia,
says: "If the Democrats do Dot act on
the bill, tbe Republicans will surely take
it np when tbey come in and get all tbe
credit. It is evident foreigners want to
control the canal. . He says there was a
tacit understanding during the last aes
sion ot tbe house that tbe bills should
come up before the short session.
Enclasd Explain.
London, Dec. 1 Tbe following semi
official statement was issued this evening
regarding the trouble between Great
Britain and Nicaragua:
It is learned (bat no difference of opin
ion exists between the governments of
Great Britain and tbe Uuited States with
reference to the Mosquito territory. Ow
ing to the influence ot cotton traders and
others in these regions, it became neces
sary, recently, tor Great Britain to draw
the attention of the Nicaraguan govern
ment to tbe provisions of the treity be
tween Great Britain and Nicaragua,
which was contrary to certain decrees re
cently issued by tne commissioner at
Biaefields. It is understood the matter
formed the subject ot inquiry on tbe part
ot l be United States, and a satisfactory
explanation of the matter was given by
the British government. The question
did not fleet the relations between Nic
aragua and the Motquito territory, bnt
merely tbe . rights and customs of tbe
Indians, reserved uuder tbe treaty in
question. There was no question ot the
United States dispatrbing war vessels to
tbe spot in this connection. -
Merely Tremendonn Aval an eh e.
Seattle, Dec, 2 Tbe air was suffi
ciently clear today to peim:t of Mount
Rainier being plainly seen, and there now
remains no doubt but tbat tbe mountain
has undergone many changes, but it is
due to a series of tremdons avalanches of
snow, ice and earth, aod not to aoy
unusual eruption. Today it was observed
that the crater rim was intact, showing
tbat no troble occurred there, but below
great slices of the mountain have disap
peared, and a blun ol solid rocK several
hundred feet bgli and ot unknown lengtn
has been formed. It is supposed that
other slides baye occarred on tbe otber
side of tbe mountain also. -
Costa Blra.
Bogota. Dec In view of the belli
cose attitude assumed by tbe official and
semi-official press of Costa Rica in dis
cussing tbe delimitation of tbe frontier of
these two countries, tbe press nere re
minds Costa- Rica that, while Costa R ca
cannot place 15,000 soldiers in tbe field in
case of war, Colombia can easily mobilize
an army ol lOO.Oui) men. It is believed
Costa, Rtcu wilt draw in ber borns and
listen to reason, and not provoke a con
fllct with this country, which is ready to
mile any peaceful, honorable settlement.

"Major Post, who is in charge of the
government works on the Columbia, states
tbat be is confident that the boat railway
could be completed within two years by the
contractors. Regarding this great projected
enterprise, he said;
'We have now completed the survey and
location of tbe boat railway. It had been
located provisionally befors tbe late high
water, bot I find we can low do better. I
find tbat there are only four carves in the
proposed roate, nine miles long, and none
is more than three-fourths of ona degree. I
bsve hope that we can redoes all to one-
half of one degree, wnich is very much be
low the maximum curves allowed for roads
of this oharsoter.
'There is no grade over 13 feet to the
mile. These things bsva assured us that
tbe obstacles are comparatively small, but
nevertheless tbe project is one of some
magnitude. When we consider that it la
designed to lift from the water boats and
oargoes weighing 600 tons, cars of 200 tans,
and apparatus 200 tons, and transport the
whole nine miles, you can have sons ides
of tbe kind of task there is before us. Still
the lift will be easy. There will bi 12 hy
draulic jicks to lift 1000 tons, whereas I
bay seen one jack raise 1140 tons,'
"Major Post said he had gone oyer tbe
ground with Receiver McNeill, of the 0 B
& N. Company, who had expressed great
interest in tbe project. Mr. McNeill nd
stated bis entire williotrness to have the
track of tbe railroat moved back to make
way for the enterprise. Msjjr Post told of
tbe difficulties it bad been neoessary to
overcome at the Cascades. He said tbat if
the locks bad been completed on the plana
proposed this year, the water daring tbe
flood would have arisen fear feet above
tbeir highest point, and be regarded it as
fortunate that the flood bad coma and al
lowed modification to suit such emergencies.
Major Post spoke of the Colombia, and
aaid the channel trom Portland to the sea is
deeper than last year, tod that yeueli
drawing 22 feet have paased over all ob
structions. He also reviewed tbs work at
the mouth of the Columbia and nrgad forti
fications, to follow tbe improvement."
