Hagman Denies That He De- serted His Men in Behring Sea. Sax Fraxctsco, Sept. 25.—Capt. Hagman of the sealing schooner C. G. White, which ar- rived yesterday from Alaska, was much dis- turbed at hearing that some of his crew who were found adrift in Behring sea and who had been brought here had accused him of deserting them. The captain stated that the schooner caught very few seals after leaving here last February, and when the schoouer Lewis was spoken to some. time in July and reported good sealing off Cop; Island the crew of the White became clamor- ous to proceed i refuwed, as the n diction, but during the night the man at the wheel directed the schoouer toward the island. On August 2 four of the boats pat off for the island) A fog arose and the schooner cruised around all day before two of tho boats were pickedup. The men asked to be allowed to go to the island and find the other two boats, taking provisions, as the lat- ter were probably out of them. For six days the schooner beat about the island in a fog, drifted about becalmed, but though the cannon was fired several times none of the boats re- turned and the captain finally concluded that the men had given themseives up to the Rus- Bil the larxer cities of America and Europe.

HE REPRESENTS MONARCHY, The Count of Paris Will Fight for His Cause With Any Available Weapon. Fans, Sept. 25.--Just before sailing for America the Count of Paris wtote a letter to M. Bocher, in which he say believe that in the midst of the difficult electoral situation last year I realized what were the true inter- ests of the monarchinl cause. Banished by tho republic, I take up in order such weapons as it | furnishes me with, and I do not regret having | made use of these to create division among the republicans. ‘Their perturbations before the cleciious, their vindictive behavior afterward, give us some idea as to what the result would have been had we carried the day. Being the | representative of monarchy I am to lose no cpportunity of insuring its victory. My desire was to allow the nation to give voice to its own wishes. Imever had any other object and I have ever desired to owe anything otherwise than to my country. I now wish to Tequest my friends ‘hot to waste time in reeriminations, I wish them boidly to assert their confidence in the principlesof monarchy and io unite among themselves, in order to keep up the struggle. They will not be worthy or we coutidence of France unless they have confidence im themseives, in their cause and in God.” Tne monarchis‘s journals express their ap- proval of the letter. The repubitcan papers on the other hand condemn in the strongest terms the coynt’s action. They accuse him of admitting dishonorable compromises and ac- knowledying that he was preparing to sacrifice the couniry to kis own hatred and ambition. genres =a GERMAN CATHOLICS ADJOURN, Resolutions Adopied and Officers for Next Year Elected.

THE UNITED VETERANS. Their President Says Their Declaration ’ Speaks for Itself. ‘There has beet seme criticism in regard to a statement in the declaration of principles of the new order of United American Veterans, Itisstated that the opposition has reached uh proportions that a special meeting will be called to cotisider the advisability of modify- ing the objectionable language. The clause objected to reads as follows: “We believe that men who gave patriotic ser- vice in response to duty, as they saw their duty, deserve honorable consideration of their coun- trymen.” The President of the organization, Dr. H. N. Howard, in talking about the matter with a Stan reporter said: “The published statement on Tuesday of the organization of the order of United American Veterans and the declaration of principles, together with the names of the incorporators and officers, was correct and complete, The declaration’ of principles shows for _ itself what the objects and purposes of the organiza- jon are sud comments and explanations are entirely unnecessary.

To the Editor of Tax Evexrxo Stan: : There have recently been published in your Paper extracts from the last report of the Utah Commission telegraphed from Salt Lake in ad- vance of its receipt by the Secretary of the Interior. Theso convey the idea that polyge mous marriages are still being entered into by the Mormons and that the leaders of the Mor- mon church continuo to teach and enforce thet doctrine and practice upon the adherents of that faith, The object of this and similar dis- patches about the practice of polygamy aaiong the Mormons is well understood bere, There are pending before Congress two or three bills, which, if enacted into Jaw, wonld disfpanchiag every member of the Mormon church by __ preserib: ng @ test oath euch ag no Mormon could conscientiously subscribe to. This proposed legislation would not affect the pia Mormons; they are already dis- ranchised; can neither vote, hold office or sit on juries: but it would apply to the non- polygamous Mormons, the young men of Utah, who have never violated the anti-polygamy laws and have taken an oath that they will not dosoin the future, who have always boen loyal to their wd and ite laws. ey are to be disfranchised because they will not vote to suit the radical anti-Mormon ring at Sait Lake City. ‘The minority wish to obtain political control of the territory, to manipulate its affairs in their interests, to collect and expend the people’s taxcs and shape its destiny. To do this all the non-polygamous Mormons, the sons of the hardy pioneers who discovered and sct- tled that arid region, must be -disfranehised, and for no reason but that some few members of the Mormon church believe in and have héretofore practiced polygamy, Knowing as 1 do thatthe charges lately made against tho Mormon citizens of Utah are false, that such statements are injurious to them and damaging | P' to tho best interests of the territory, I take great pleasure in handing you a declaration of the President of the Mormon-Chureh which I bave just received by telegraph from Salt Luke, and request its publication as an act of justice toa much maligned and persecuted people ani a somplsts refutation of the malicious state- ments heretofore published.

Lut I bave not been able to learn who performed theceremony, What- ever was done in this matter was without my knowledge, In consequence of - this alleged occurrence the endowment house was by my iustructious taken down without delay, Inas- much as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws lave been pronounced constitutional by the court of last rexort, Ido hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws and to. use all my in- fineuce with the members of the church over which I preside to have them do likewise, ‘There is nothing in iny teachings to the church, s, during the time specified which can reasouabiy be construed to wuculcate or encourage polygamy, and when any elder of the church lias used language which appeared to convey such teaching he pty reproved: and L now pub- liely declare that lvice to the Latter Day tw is to refrain irom coutracting aay mar- riage forbidden by the laws of the land.

THE PRINTING OFFICE SITE. The Conference Report Called Up in| The Commission Holds a Meeting To- the House This Afternoon. Mr. Hemphill today called up in the House the much-expected conference report on the Rock Creek Park bill. The report, Mls already printed in Tus Sran, subd- mits a substitute bill containing many of the provisions of the old measure but further developing the manner of condem- natior benefits on adjoining property to the amount of said benefits, The name of Columbus Park is dropped and Rock Creek Park resubstituted. @pnovisioxs oF TRE BILL. The bill provides that a tract of land not exceeding 2,000 acrés in extent, lying on both sides of Rock creek, beginning st Klingle Ford Bridge and running northwardly, following the course of said creék, of a width not lese at any point than G00 feet nor more than 1,200 feet, including the bed of the creek, of which not less than 200 feet shall be on either side of said creek, south of Broad Branch road and Blagden Mill road and of such greater width north of said roads as the commissioners designated in this act may se- lect, shall be secured and be perpetually ded - cated and set npart as 2 public park or pleasure ground for tho benefit and enjoyment of the people of the United States to be known by the naine of Rock Creek Park. Tho new bill appropriates $1,200,000 to pay the expenses of inquiry, survey. assessment, cost of lands taken and all other necessary ex- penses incidental thereto, one-half to be re- imbursed to the Treasury of the United States out of the revenues of the District of Colum- bia in four equal annual installments. with in- terest at the rate of 3 per centum per annum. | One-haif of the sum to be annually expended for the maintenance and improvement of the park shail be charged against the District. The commision to do everything for the rk is to consist of the chief engineer of the United States army, the Engineer Commis- sioner of the rietof Columbia and three citizens to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, tically all the Bi d the House, the Senato having acceded to the House amendments. MR. HEMPHILL ANSWERS QUESTIONS.@ = After the report had been read, Mr. Buch- anan of New Jetsoy asked if the ‘conference report provided for the borrowing of $600,000 by the District from the general government, Mr. Uemphiil said it practically did. Mr. Cannon thougit the committe ference should provide for additional taxation in the Disirict to provide for such an expendi- fre, ‘Mr. Hemphill said property was so increas- ing in vaiue in the District that the income of the District would be greatly increased. Mr, Cannon thought the report showld be sent back to the conference, with instructions for the committee to find out what the income of the District was to be, whether it some means of additional taxation. Several gentlemen asked whether the gov- ernment was in any way assured of the pay- ments. Mr. Hemphill said the payments were amply assured, know that would char, to republican extravagance. Mr, Hemphill said he was not responsible for vers democratic paper and orator what the democratic nhewspapapers pwould say on the question, but for himself ‘he would = say that there could be found no more proper or useful way to appropriate money. Mr. Buchanan asked if he could quote the gen leman to that effect, and was told that he had full permission to dlo so, THE VOTE. ‘The vote was then taken on the adoption of the conference report. Ona standing vote the | result stood, ayes, 90; nocs, 41. ‘The ayes and nayes were demanded and or- dered. dhe vote by ayes and nayes on the Rock creek conterence resuited—ayes 125, nayes 65. The report was therefore adopted. BINDER TWINE, The Tariff Conferees Have Not Yet Reached a Conclusion. TANGLED ID The tariff conferees will not make their re- porttoday. They are still buried in sugar and tangled in binding twine. The republican conferees were in session for some time this morning. At about 11 o'clock they sent for the domocrats to join them. ‘This gave rise to the report thatan agreement had been reached and there was considerable excitement and hastling about. The sugar men were in the corridors of the Senate cagerly grabbing on to any Senator in sight. About 120'ciock the conference was ended, and then it was discovered that no agreemeut had been reached and that the democrats had been called in merely to go over tho rest of the bill, Not a word was said in the full committee about either binding twine or sugar. ‘ULTIMATUM OF THE HOUSE CONFEREES.
