Much comment and criticism on the ap-

emocratlc sources. People who have nether
ther Interest than simple citizenship are
ncllned to look with much favor upon a
umber of the new mayor's appointments.
tr. Blxby has shown no undue haste to
ako all of the responsibilities of the office
f chief of police and will not assume charge
or several days. In the meantime ho Is
pending all of his time going over the work
with the old members of the force. It Is )
his Intention to keep a number of the old
members of the force for a month or more ,
announcements have been made ot the
Imposition of the new force , but It la said
hat Denny will be made patrol driver and
Bergman night captain. The three deputy
marshals who will have charge of the exec
utive work of the department have not yet
> ccn named.
Mayor Jennings' appointment of Captain
Jatos as chief of the fire department Is sat-
sfactory. He ties been holding the position
of captain of hose company No. 3 and Is
horouchly familiar with all of tho. details
and requirements of , the department. His
advancement from the ranks Is regarded
as an earned promotion. No changes have
rot been announced in this department , any
urtlier than the intimation that Charles

i > end of the newly elected treasurer referred
to a special committee for investigation arc
now gliid that such action was taken. Mr.
Reed Is required to give a bond of $100,000
and ho presented to the council two bonds
In two different surety companies for $50,000
each. When the bonds were examined yes
terday they were discovered to contain a
clause that practically made them worthless
for the purpose desired. They merely guar
anteed the honesty of the city treasurer , but
specifically stated that the companies would
not bo liable to the city for any losses thai
might occur through failure of ony ot the
bAnks in which the clty'n funds were de
posited by the treasurer. As thla was a
very necersary portion of the guaranty , both
bonds were promptly rejected.
"If I had read the bonds over I would
never have presented them , " said Mr. Reed.
"I supposed they covered all kinds of liabil
ity and contained no such clause removing
about all of the responsibility of the com
panies. " The bonding companies hove agreed
to correct the defect.

DEB MOINES , April 5. ( Special. ) The
death ot William Wright at his home In
West Liberty , la. , a few daya ago attracted
but little attention In Iowa , yet he was
ono ot the famous literary'men ot the west
In hlo palmy days , and at one time was bet
ter known than any other writer on the
Pacific coast. Mr. Wright was a native of
Ohio , but came to Iowa with his father In
1849 and located a homestead here. Ho
caught the gold fever In the early daya of
the rush to California and went with the
crowd acroes the plains. He was one of
the Comstock pioneers at Virginia City ,
Nevada , arriving there In 1859. He mined
in Gold Canyon and during his sojourn there
he furnished mining and other Items for
Comstock papers. About I860 be began his
Journalistic career as a local writer on the
Territorial Enterprise , when that paper was
owned by the late D. E1. McCarthy and J. T.
Goodman , and held that position continu
ously for nearly thirty ycara. When tbe pa
per passed Into the hands of the Enterprise
Publishing company , ot which the late Wil
liam Sharon , II. M. Yerrlngton , A , J , Ilul-
ston and otherc were director * , he was re
tained at a salary of $76 a week.
Wright commenced writing over the pen
name of "Dan de Qullle , " by which name he
was known among newspaper men all over
the west. During his long serviceIn , Vir
ginia City he was associated at various
times with writers who subsequently at
tained celebrity , among whom were Mark
Twain , P. M. Daggett and C. C. Goodwin.
In 1876 he resigned his position for a few
months and went to the home ot hi ? former
associate , Mark Twain , where he revised the
material for a volume Issued in that year
entitled "Dig Bonanza , " the funds for which
were furnished by J. W. Mackay. The book
proved a poor Investment , as the contents
related exclusively to men prom
inent In the history of the Ne
vada , Comstock lode and the state mining In
dustry , and was therefore devoid of general
Interest. Prom 1876 until 1888 Mr. Wright
was employed as a local writer on the Vir
ginia City Enterprise , and about the latter
date entered the field of romance , writing
uhort stories for popular magazines and syn
dicate letters for the Salt Lake Tribune and
other publications. About six months ago he
became too feeble to continue literary work
and left for his daughter's home in Iowa ,
where this busy life ended.
Of hla old Ofeociates In Virginia City few
are left. Judge Goodwin , who knew him
well , paid the following tribute to his ge
nius la tbe Salt Lake Tribune :
No one can tell of Dan de Qullle and dc
him Justice unless Mr. Joseph T. Goodmar
or Mark Twnlni or R. M. Daggett under
takes the task. He came .west In the 'COs
In 1SC1 he began hla work as mining1 re
porter on the Virginia City Enterprise ; he
worked there steadily for six and thlrtj
years , and last year went to his old hcm <
in Iowa , so feeble that It was not believed
that ho would survive the journey. The
fnork that he did In those thirty-six yean
was never equaled on iv newspaper by anj
one man. He wrote Incessantly. Oaten ,
sibly a reporter , he > filled that detail with
conscientious exactness and In full volume
but , In addition , he wrote essays , some
of which were purely and profoundly sci
entific ; o'.hc.rs which 'were a burlesque or
science , but the. humbug and the humoi
were so concealed that no one dreamed thej
were not profound on. some great philo
sophical principle , until at the close a few
quaint words made clear the de'.lcloua iron )
of thc < iwhoie screed. Hewrote wlnsom ;
stories ; hewas closely akin .to all natura
objects , and the sunlight and the mountoJr
pictures were woven unconsciously Into hli
work ; he had a droll side , and he delighted
o interpret and explain in grotesqui
magery the -workings of the minds of thi
Piute. chief or the Chinese mandarin.
He was-a' learned historian ; he was a
gifted geologist , and wlfn as much en-
: hulsm as ever Hugh Miller experienced ,
le pursued his investigations and wrote ills
'Testimony of the Racks. " He know the
Comstock lode , with all Its peculiarities
and habits it was his study for .a genera
tion 'ne wrote locals In which all local
men were mentioned and described , bul
no one was ever offended , for the kindheartedness -
heartedness of the man rounded off whal
would have been sharp edges from an >
other pen , and so he worked and worked
for a full generation , and then , withoul
plaint , wlt'n his old sunny nature trl
jmphant to the last , ho fell asleep. Mer
by the thousands will hear of his death
with the same feeling that they woulc
have to hear of a brother's death , for h (
never had an enemy , and thoug'ntful mer
have realized that in unpretentiousnesi
his was one of the most useful lives thai
ever wore Itself out for the west. Wher
Mr. Goodman owned t'ne Enterprise R. M
Daggett was associate editor and Marl
Twain was a reporter with Dan do Qullle
The latter had much more power thar
Twain , and was of vast service to him , foi
In those days Mark was unseasoned Ir
newspaper work and more or less uncouth
He has continued to grow slnce.but l !
i t'ne news ever reaches him of wrlght'i
1 death , we think his tribute to his starllm
worth will be good to read. Goodman anc
Daggett ought to write of him as he wai
in those early , stormy days , when ,
there was friction and excitement on al
sides Wright' moved unruffled and un
touched among It all. We had rather thlnl
of him as the old friend that was alwayi
true , always quaint , always genial ; thi
one. who did not know hla own power ; win
was at homo when talking with t'ne grea
Sllllmun or Agasslz , who the next houi
could get from a 'JOBS Chinaman the newi

We hope the peace that came and lullei
the senses of t'ne great-hearted man , anise
so beguiled htm that ho heeded not the approach
preach of "the brother of Sleep" or fel
t'ne touch that stilled his own heartbeat
will remain with him forever.

IHB OF THE : SPANISH AIIOUSED.
Condemn Europe for It * Action In
UK- Cub nil Mnttrr.
LONDON , April 5. The Paris concspond-
cnt of the Times gives a conversation he
has had with an "eminent Spaniard" which
Is Interesting as a record ot Spanish Ideas
In the crisis. The "eminent Spaniard" la
said to have spoken with some bitterness ,
expressing the belief that "nowadays It 1
hopeless for any weak state to expect help
from 'Europe ' , and therefore Spain must rely
bn Itself alone. "
He said , moreover , that European Interven
tion In the eyes of the American people would
have no significance , unless It were armed ,
and that will never occur , for all these
powers , if once under arms , would feel
mutual distrust and watch one another in
stead of joining forces for a common re
sult.
sult."The
"The only consideration which affects 'the
United States Is their probable chance ol
success. Th'ey will take no heed of anything
abroad.
"Europeans always fancy that the Inter
vention of Emperor William would have
some effect , and that a dispatch from him
to the president of the United 'States would
somehow modify Mr. 'McKtoley's ' decision ,
But this Is a mistake. The Americans would
like to have a dispatch from Emperor Wil
liam to have the pleasure ot refusing what
he asks , aad thus marking the profound dis
dain they profess for the powers of Europe.
"How could Europe do anything agalnal
the United States ? For forty-five years the
principle of filibustering has been in vogue
throughout Europe , and the whole policy .ol
Europe Is based on It. By 'What right should
Europe reproach the United States for dolnc
what It Itself has been doing for nearly hall
a century ?
"I repeat that not on Europe should we
count , but on ourselves , on God , and on oui
right. There Is still In Spain plenty of good
gold and good blood , and we shall span
neither. We shall send all the soldiers we
can to America. If the Americans attempt
It they will not vanquish the 250,000 men
which Is the number we shall shortly have
In Cuba.
"We shall deal American trade more raplc
and telling blows than America will evei
deal us , for If we cannot capture vessels w (
can wreck them. If we succumb the Amerl
cans will soon seize other European pos'
sessions.
"I am told that the pope Is Intervening
The pope remembers the ironical triumpl
which Prince Bismarck secured for him ovei
the Caroline islands , but this time he wll
find the Americans madder with pride am
scorn of others than all the nations o
Europe. They will not heed him more thai
others , and nothing will make them hesl
tate but the necessity of paying for pre
meditated conquest by mountains of rulni
aad torrents ot blood. "

WASHINGTON , April B. The statemen
was made today by a public man In clos
touch with the administration that th
effort to secure a settlement ot the war be

though not until after It had been seriousl
considered. The congressional opponents c
a war policy admit that the outlook fa
peace has grown almost hopeless since tbl
