Later Plans Not Announced.
While nothing Is forthcoming at this
time about the later plons of the com
pany, yet It is a faot that the wires
will stretch from here through Nevada
to San Francisco. That will be a day
to remember, the wires, first laid by
the late John W. Mackay, traveling the
scenes of his earlier manhood, the
"places where he first dug- from the earth
that mammoth fortune, finding a tem
porary resting place at the metropolis
by tho Golden Gate, where he perfected
his great Industrial plans. From Salt
Lake to San Francisco Is the region
where Mackay first became a power and
this ls the region where his name Is
most revered. His clever son Is follow
ing out the teachings of the far-sighted
father but the people of this section will
always hold dear the memory of John
W. Mackay and for years to come It
will ever be "The Mackay Line."
MACKAY PLANNED BIG
TWELVE-STORY BUILDING
11 has Just come to light that at least
one Salt Laker lost a great friend in
the death of John W. Mackay. Early
In the life of the Angelus, the elegant
hotel at Los Angeles, Its proprietor, G.
S. Holmes of this city, became ac
quainted with Mr. Mackay and their
friendship resulted In an agreement
whereby the millionaire was to build
at the southeast corner of Fourth and
Market streets In San Francisco, a
twelve-story fire-proof building to cost
from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000. The plans
were prepared and Mr. Maclcny was to
return to meet Mr. Holmes for the pur
pose of letting contracts', when death
came so unexpectedly and naturally Mr.
Holmes did not care to urge the matter
any further with his heirs.
When Mr. Holmes was asked about
this yesterday he said that as It was
past history, there whs nothing to say
about tho business arrangements, but
;is for the late John W. Mackay, who
was a personal friend, he said that all
who knew him realized that there was
no limit to his friendship and generosi
ty to those who enjoyed his confidence,
and when he died, ho (Mr. Holmes),
lost the strongest friend he ever had,
one who would have done more for him
financially, as well as In other ways,
than any other man. "He was one of
the noblest men that God ever placed
upon earth." said Mr Holmes,

Tons of Hoppers
in "Sanpete County
Eleven Thousand Pounds Extermi
nated in One Dny, but Pests Ap
pear as Numerous Next Day.
Special to The Tribune.
MANTI, June 30. An army of
grasshoppers has invaded the
fields between here and
L'phralm. More .than 11,000
pounds of hoppers were caught ln one
day.
The pests seem to lmigrate to some
extent. In one field 75 bushels were
caught ln one day and the field appar
ently was cleared. Next day tho hop
pers were as thick as ever, and more
than 50 bushels were caught that day.
The experience was repeated for sever
al days.
The bounty of one cent per pound
fixed by the Legislature Is proving of
benefit. Many persons, otherwise not
Interested In exterminating the pest,
turn out ana make fair wages from the
bounty.

Senator Dubois Sees
Parker Only.
Cleveland, He Declares, Can
Not Be Nominated; Bitter
Against Stuffed Prophet.
Formor Senator Frank Cannon Will
Not Walk Out of This
Convention.
ST. LOUIS, June 30. Some Western
delegates to the Democratic Na
tional convention arrived today
but aside from their individual
opinions they had no knowledge of
what was going to bo done when the
Democratic National convention moots
next weelc Everything seems to nwalt
tho arrival of the leaders, when ,lt is
expected there will be the usual life,
ante-dating and interesting national
convention.
Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho camo in
tonight and when asked what he
thought of the Presidential outlook,
said he saw nothing but Parker.
"Who will they nominate after they
have beaten Parker?" he was asked.
Cleveland Never,
"Would It be Cleveland," he contin
ued. "Why thero is more than a third
of the convention will stay here until
the election before allowing the nomi
nation of Cleveland. An attempt .to
nominate Cleveland will throw the con
vention Into the hands of Bryan. The
convention will nominate Parker be
cause they have no other man to nom
inate." Senator Dubois declares that he will
get an anti-polygamy plank ln the na
tional platform. That will be his prin
cipal work while ln St. Louis. He says
that the Republicans fearod they would
lose Utah, Idaho and Wyoming If they
declared against polygamy but hu
claims ihat a strong declaration of that
kind ln the Democratic platform will
carry those States for the Democratic
party.
Former Senator George Turner of
Washington came to . St. Louis today
with a small but earnest vlce-presl-dentlal
boom. The States of Idaho and
Washington are Instructed to vote for
Mr. Turner for that position and the
few delegates from that region are
making a little stir about a Pacific
coast man for second place pending tho
tlmo when all Interest ln the conven
tion will be swallowed up ln the talk of
the nominee for President and the plat
form. Frank Cannon's View.
Former Senator Frank J. Cannon of
Utah says he will not bolt this conven
tion. "Eight years ago I bolted the
Republican convention In this very
town and I have grown gray since that
time trying to find proper political ter
minal facilities. Let them put unythlng
they please In the platform and even
nominate Grover Cleveland and I'll
watch the other fellows walk out If
they want to. but none of it for me. I
have hud all I want."
Besido Cannon thero will be Senator
Teller of Colorado and Senator Dubois
of Idaho, former Senators Petllgrew of
South Dakota and ChatieH A. Towne
and Representative John A. Lind of
Minnesota, as delegates ln the coming
Democratic convention, all of whom
bolted the Republloan National conven
tion hold ln St. Louis eight years ago.
Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, will arrive
In St. Louis 'tomorrow.

STORY FROM RUSSIAF4S,
Declare That tho Japanese Eleet
nt Port Arthur Is Complote- '
ly Destroyed.
N- EWCIIWANG, June 30. The Rus
sian torpedo-boat destroyer
Lieut. Burukoff arrived here
from Arthur yesterday and la
berthed alongside the gunboat Slvouch.
The river bank was soon crowded with
excited natives, who were told by the
Russians that the Japanese fleet had
been completely destroyed.
The offlccrs of the Lieut. Burukoff
tell soveral stories. One is that Ad
miral Togo's report of the fighting was
exaggerated ami that the Russians
have made two cruises in the Gulf of.
Pe Chi LI ln live days.
Another story ls that the Port Arthur
fleet has Joined the Vladivostok squad
ron. The correspondent of the Associated
Press sent a messenger who speaks
Russian, to tho side of the destroyer,
buti tho Russian sailors would not talk
except to say that they left Port Ar
thur Tuesday night. Every Inch of the
boat. was crowded with mon. She had
the appuarunce of having been ln a
genorul engagement, her bow having
been shot away. The Lieut. Burukoff is
one of the torpedo-boat destroyers ta
ken from the Chinese at Taku In 1500.
The general belief here 1b that Hhe
came here with dispatches for the ar
my and for St. Petersburg. This ls
quite natural, as two Cossack olllcers
were on board.
All the efforts made to obtain Infor
mation regarding Gen. Kurokl's move
ments have been futile. An uncon
firmed rumor ls current that he has
reached Hal Cheng and cut off commu
nication with Llao Yang.

Incendiary Blozo at Cronstadt De
stroys Shed Containing Twenty
Whitehead Torpedoes.
ST. PETERSBURG, June SO. As a
result of the receipt of news of a
llro which took place at the tor
pedo works at Cronstadt last
Ight this city was tonight filled with
tho wildest rumors, Including one to
tho effect that the Peterhof palace had
been blown up. The damage at Cron
stadt was confined to the torpedo
mechanical shops, which were almost
wholly destroyed, together with twen
ty Whitehead torpedoes. Five of the
torpedoes had war heads attached and
they' exploded, which added to the fire
and tho excitement. A considerable
quantity of oil stored ln the works was
also burned. An alarm was given in
time to prevent loss of life and more
serious loss of property. The author
ities here do not attach serious lm-'
portance to the accident and say that
tho works will soon be ablo to resum?
full time.
Russian Fleet Not Damaged.
A Russian torpedo boat has arrived
at Ncwchwang from Port Arthur. Her
commander denies that any Russian
ships wero sunk or damaged In the
fight off Port Arthur June 23. He de
clares that after clearing away the
Japanese mines the whole Russian fleet
returned safely to the harbor.
Although nothing has been received
by the admiralty from Admiral Skry
dloff confirming the reports that the
Russian Vladivostok squadron had
Bunk Japanese vessels at Gen San,
there ls no disposition to doubt the
correctness of the news.
No Word From Kuropatkin.
No word has come from Gen. Kuro
patkin later than June 27 and not a
single newspaper dispatch has been ro
celvcd from tho. front during tho last
twenty-four hours. This silence ln the
theatre of war la regarded as a sign
of tho coming storm.
Settle Fate of Manchuria.
The Bourse Gazette this morning
says: "Wo aro on tho cvo of a battle
which may settle the fate or Manchuria
and Korea. Both must become Rus
sian tho formor because Russian
blood was shed thero. the latter be
cause it ls essential to the safety of
our communications between Vladivo
ntok and Port Arthur.
Togo's Report Exaggerated.
An official dispatch received, from
Lieut. General Stoessel, the commander
of the Russian military forces at Port
Arthur, says that the squadron of Rear
Admiral Withoeft re-entered that port
after repulsing five torpedo boat at
tacks. It contains no further details.
It does not mention any damage to tho
Russian ships. As no injury to the ves
sels of tho Russian squadron was men
tioned the belief of tho authorities ls
greatly strengthened that Admiral To
go's report was very much exaggerated.
