Saur Lake Ciry, September 12, — Utah is now passing through a blood- less revolution. It is registration week, and under the provision of the Edmunds’' law, ali polygamists and wiv s of polygamists arc disfranchised. So wide is the latitude assumed by the commissioners and registers, that not only those who are now in polygamy, but all who ever have been, Mormon | or non-Morxion, are being struck off | the registmstion lists, It is even as- serted tlat men with only one wife, | they are hastening to paturalize by the | the voting population, that is of the religionists has raised the ardor of the monogamic section of the church and score aad hundred. I am not exag- gerating, The United States courts 1n tho threo several judicial districts are turning out full fledged citizens from early to late, with monotonous rapidity. I believe two thousand aliens have been naturalized during the last ten aays. To these add the native born just coming to age, and those who until now have been too indifferent to vote, and it will be found that the registration list is not 8o wonderfully diminished. The next point »f attack must be the woman voters, Thev form fifty per cent of 'ty who form the mwojority, Take and the two forces would would bocome more equal. To test the validity of the terivorinl woman sufltage law test cates have been got- ten up, by the registers refusing to record the names of certain ladies on their poll sheets. The organizers of this arrangement, n which Governor Murray tekes much interest, are san- guine of a favorable docision, and that a stop will be pr¢ . women voting in Utah. It is, hokcfet, prollematical, if the judges will take so heavy a re- sponsibility, in the face of the strong feeling that is manifested in many parts of the netion in favor of an extension of the suftrage. But in 80 many respects Utah is sue generis, and what 1s sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander, so far as she is concerned, that 1 is unwise to specu- late on what will be done. which wfe was fortunately the wife of a polysmist, are ruledout, 1f this is | 80, it # punishing for crime imparted | by intoculation with a vengeance. What will the Mormons do now! 18 a frquent inquiry. It 1s not safe to | hasrd a conjecture, they don’t seem | toknow themselves. You have prob. | aly heard of the Norfolk man’s| deose, that was ‘‘too big to swallow | nd to hara to bite.” §) it seems to- day the Mormons are ‘‘too miny to move and too few to fight,” | even if they were inclined to| either of these methods of settling | the vexed question. Submission to the inevitable appears to bo the ouly | other alternative. But wo all know | that religions die hard. N> matter be they true or falso, that iz a factor that does not enter into the question; a man will fight as fiercely for a false faith as a true one; if it be true to | him that issuilicient. No one of av- | erage sanity will accuse all the “L ter-day Saints” of being hypocrites, such would be too great an absurdity, and their past history docs not war rant 50 sweeping an assertion; hences we have a confliot in which one side, af any rate, largely believes that the issue is a relizious one, Thus far the policy seems to be to accept tho situation as gracefully as poesible and test by legal suits the right of congress h disranchises men e without a legal convicticn. Itis hold that registers are not judictal officers and conse- quently cannot decide the question of & man’s criminality, Only sfcor men | Bave boen proven guilty by & taial ac- | road building, or crops fail, then look gording to law can they and their families be debarred the exercise of the voting power., Such is the position of those who are defending the rights of the disfranchised.

Des Moines, September 17, --Satur- day afternoon at four o’clock a man entered the grocery of J. B. James and finding Mr. James alone struck him down with an iron fish plate bar in order to rob the store. Justat this juncture a clork, who had been out of the store, returned, and the robber alarmed by thisran away, The clerk, secing Mr. James lying prostrate and bleeding, instantly gave chase to the robber. The latter turned seve- ral times as he ran and threatened to shoot him if he still followed him, but the clerk followed him down through the city and finally was reinforced by other men and after running over a mile the villain was captured and lodged in jail. Mr. James was taken home stili uncongcious, with his skull fractured by the hard blow dealt behind the ear, The doctors say he cannot live till morning. It is now thought that this is the man who killed Henry Scriboer last week and assaulted and cut Casper Tuesbay nsght, who is ex- pected to die. At this hour, nine o’clock, James is reported as dying, and the streets in the city not far from the jail are filled with crowds of excited men threaten- ing to lynch the aesassin, He gives his name as Bob Harris, and is a man over six feet high and very athletic, impossible to keep him from being | lynched before morning. The city has been in a tumult for ten days over | the many acts of lawlessness which have been committed. The grocery, where the tragedy occurred, is some distance from the main business part of the city. | Acrowd of a thousand or fifteen hundred have been to the jail and | erowding down through the halls to the rooms in the basement where the | prisoner was at first confined, demand- | ed of the sherifl that he be produced, Sheriff Littleton mounted a box and pledged his honor to the crowd that the man was not there in the jail and that he had been taken elsewhere. The crowd grew more boisterous at this, and thoe sheriff fearing that thoy would batter down the doors and let all the prisoners out, offered to lot & committee of ten men be appoiuted by the mob and go with them through men who aided in the pursuit and capture of Harris was one of the com- mittee. The men then passed through the jail and all the rooms and cells and came out and reported that ho was not in the jail, Then the cry was raised that he hud been taken to the state araenal, and the mob have just gone there. It is said by the of. ficials that he will not be found there, and they assert that he has been sent out of the city under a strong guard, The city is intensely excited, and there 18 little doubt the man will be lynched if he can be found, This ten days, all made with an iron fish plate, and 1t is now thought that this man committed all of them. The mob did not find Harris at the arsensl and returned to the court house where it hung about the jail, they believing that the may was there concealed in some of the vaults of the county offices. It has now largely dis- persed, #lthough there are many knots of men about the streets, I¢ is stated now that the sheriff got Harris out 1n the country in a carriage at 8 o'clock, under the charge of two men, with orders to them to shoot him if he should attempt to escape.

Tinkis and Miss Ann Morri- #on, supposed to be the onlysurvivors of the wrecked stonmer Asia, arrived here. Tinkis reports that he boarded the Asia near Owen sound in company with J. H. Tinkis and H. B. Gal- lagher, of Manitou. The steamer was crowded, all state rooms full and many passengors lying on sofas and the cabin floor. Apour 11 o'clock Thursday morning a storm struck the vessel. My unclo, J. H, Tinkis, jumped up and eaid the boat was | doomed., Dishes and chairs | were i in every direc- | tion, the cabin and found it diflionlt to stay on deck, the boat rolling so heavily, T got a life preserver and put it on, The boat foll into a trough of the senand would not obey the helm, She rolled heavi- ly for about 20 miuutes, when she was | struck by a heavy sea, and foundered, and went down with the engine work- | ing. About half past 11 the Asia was | muking for Krench River and had men, horses and lumbermen'ssupplies | for shantics. T saw three boats loaded. | T was in the first bout. About 8 were | with me. At first more got in till the boal was overloaded, and turned over twice, The people clung to my life preserver, which got dispaced, and I throw it off. I then left the boat and swam to the captain's boat, which was near by, and asked John McDougal, purser, to help me in, Ho said it was but little use, but gave me his hand. When 1 got in there was eighteen in the boat. By that time thero was a larger number clinging to the boat 1 had left. I knew notuing of the third boat, Our boat rolled over and I missed McDougall. People were hangs ing on the spars and other parts of wreckage, Our boat was full of water and the sea constantly braking over us, One of the first to die on the boat was the cabin boy. He was dying and being supported by one of the men when a wave washed him overboard, The next to go was a boat hand, who jumped out. I could sve him paddling round in the water for nearly 100 yards. Our number was now reduced to 7, five of whom died before reaching the beach, Captain Savage, who was the last, died in my arms about mid- night Thursda John Little, of BSault St. Marie, mate of the McDon- ald, and two others, names unknown, also died, The boat finally stranded near Point au Barrte, about daylight Friday, with Miss Morrison and my- selt the only surviving persons. 1 put the bodies out on the beach and pried the boat off with an oar, but did not bail it out. Miss Morrison and I went down the beach in p boat to Derrick, about two miles tant, and laid on the beach all night, About eight o'clock Saturday morning an Indian came along and I engaged him to bring us to Parry sound. He would not bring the bodies. The steamer Northern Belle, same liue, which reached here this morning has been furnished with ice, eto., and has lef; for the bodies.
