The Supreme Court reversed thadeclsion of the Territorlnl Court on the last contention.

AN DIPORTANT DECISION, WASHIRGTON, D Gy April 4—A decislon was reached by tho Bupremo Court of tho Unlted Stutes to-day In tho Mormon case of Juhu Mites vi. tho tulted Stutes, brought hers by apponl from the Suprome Court of Utah, 3Miles was fu- dieted for bigamy $n tho Tuied District Court of Utah, at Sait Lake City, 'Trial was hod and tho Jury rundered a verdiot of gullty. Mitus thero upon nppealed to the Supreme Court of tha Tor- ritory, whore the Judgment of the Distrlot Court was utlirmod, Ho noy appeals tothis Court upots tho fullowing assignumonts of error, First, thut adhorenty of the Mormon fulth were unlawlully excluded from tho Jury: second, that tho duclue rutions of Milus wero udwmitted as proof of hiy firet murrlagu; tbind, that tho testinony of the alleged socond wifo was adwitted to prove the murrlogo of Miles to wife N 1, Tho conclusions of this Court are: First, It is ovident, from tho exumluation of jurors on thotr voir dire, that thoy bolluved palguusy was ordujned of (Jod, awl thut practice of polygamy wus In obedionco to tho will of God, At eom- mon law this would have boen ground for tue rincipat chullengo of Jurors of the same falth., L noeda 1o arguinunt (0 show bat w {ury cot posud of mea enterteliing such 1 boiot” could uot bave beon VIEE FROM BIAS Ol PREJUDICE onatrial fur Ligamyof & person who onter~ ud AR~ Fi : talned thes & cllef and whose offanso con- alsted of 1h(~ r "flm{’ in polygumy, [ut, whether thafy &3 ace of blas was suflfolent ur not, 1t wa faees nd by the triors, and that was conclusive, :g Seeond, L a Distriet Court committed no errorinad @ 8 g declarationsof Miles to prove his first mf I . Third, thoe .. .- Court below did err in allowing: Caroline Owens, the second wife, togive evidenco Miles touching his marringe with Emiiy + tho firat wife, Tho law of Utah de- clares the hushand shall not bo a witness for or nyainst his wife, or n wife for or aguinst her husband. The marrlage of Miles with Carolino Owena was charged in the fndictment and ad- mitted by bim upon the trial. Tho fact of his previous murriage with FEmily Spencer was thoreforn only an isaug in the case, nnd that was contested tothe end of tho trinl. Tt tho fact of maurriage of Emily Spencer with 3ilos wna cstablished, Caroline Owend was prima faclo his wire, and sha could not bo nsed as o witnoss. Nearly alt nuthorities ugreo that, as long as the fnct of the first murringe is contested, tho secomd wile eannot be admitted to prove it. It in mndo ciear by tho record that polygatnous mnrriages are so celobrated In Utah as to make [PROVK OF POLYGAMY VERY DIFFICULT. They ure conducted In sceret, and tho persons by whom they nre solcmnized are undersuch ob= ligntions of secrecy that 1t 18 nlmost {mpossible to extract facts from thom wheu placed upon tho witness-atand. If both wives are excluded Srom testifying to the first marringe, na in the ‘apinion of this Cotirt they shnuld be, under ex- asting rules of ovhlence testimony suflicient to conviet for polywnmy In Utah s hardly attaine able. This I8 not. however, n considerstion which bught to intluence this Court. It must administer tho Inw s it finds t. The remedy 18 with Congress by ennctinyg such n change in tho law of evidence “in Utah as to make both wives witneasos in indlctments for thIInI{‘. For the error nbove indicated, tho judgment of the Supreme Court of Utuh Is reversed, and the cause romanded for a new trinl. Juatice Woods delivered tho oplulon. ILLINOIS PEOPLE. GOV, CULLOSM.

The Gov- ernor bus had some consultation rclativo to the apportionment of the State, and says that the Legislature will undoubtedly pass an ap- portionment bill at this session in order to nvold the grent expenso of u called sesslon. Ho thinks that thero Is no doubt that Congress will puss such o apportionment bill as WILL OIVE ILLINOI3 TWENTY MEMBERS, and that «n apportioninent upon that basis can safely e made.

Tho vight districts, which are tepub- lieun, In tho northorn part of tho dtato lack 140,000 in ruund numbers of having u satiicleat population to make eight districtson tho basls of nineteen members for 1lilnols, walle tho soutliern distrlets, with tho Fourtoentl District, ARE FULL ON TUAT BAStS, g0 that, If rn upvortionment for ninetcun 13 made, glving Cook County four, ag thoy wiil be compelled to, ono of tho elgut districts.in the worthern part ot the Stato must disappesr. ‘Therefure, a8 the divisor will beso fixed us to Ve Liinois tveuty, the ouly wise thiug to uo is to district for twenty.” This §8 the view entertained by some..
