The Territory Disfranchises All Who Refase to Take the Tost Oath— More Speakership Talk— Miscellancous, M3 FOURTERNTH STREET, Wasnivarox, D, C., Nov, 20, Congressional Delegate Fred Dubois of 1daho 18 hore ready for tho opening of con- gross, Ho s a pronounced anti-Mormon and expects they will work aainst him. Talking wbout affairs in Utah today and the pro- visions the Idaho constitution makes against the possibility of falling into the hands ef the Mormons, Mr. Dubois said “Our people ure very much interested just pow in the investightion which is Deing wade in Salt Lake City, and although tho testi- mony shows a dis ing state of affairs it is personally gratifying to me because 1t bears out my position aml oft repeated statements, Idabo has declared itself very emphal tly on the question of mor- monism by disfranchisiug all those pecsons who will not subscribe to the test WasnixaToN Buieau Trr Oxana Bes, } oath. The constitutionality of that oath bas been disputed but was affirmed by our courts, It will be argued finally before the supreme court of the United States on De- cember ¥ and the decision is being anxiously awaited. The territory will be represented n court by H. W. Smith, who was a member of the territorial council and the author of the test oath, That oath is subst embodied 1 the constitution which was cently adopted and because of this the Mor- mons are going to fight our admission us a uppose the court declares the oath to be nstitutional what will you do with your constitution. Will you call another conven- tion to nmend it,” “No," replied Mr. Dubols, “we shall stay Just where we ere. Wo don’t propose to ask for statehood unless we have the power to control this tre able organization and to revent its participation in our politica.

The arrival of many republican members of the house here during the past forty-eight hours hus kept whe five gentlemen who are contesting for the honor of presiding over the dehiberations of the lower branch of congress oxceedingly busy. Their friends are using all their persuasive powers to draw tho shy members inte the various headquarters, and the scenes around each of them have veon exceedingly lively. Mr, Reed bas the lead undoubtedly and he will have a very substantial vote on the first ballot. Now that nearly all of the New Yorkers are here the other candidates are prictically certain that thoy have very litle to hope for in the way of support from the Empire state, Mr. Keed’s friends in that delegation have suceessfully whipped in the few who were wavering against the unitrule, and it seems almost certain tonight that at least eightecn of the New York votes will be cast for Mr, Reed on the first ballot. The other candidates, however, say that the adoption of the unit rulein New York, Penn- sylvanio and New Bugland w o to drive many of the others aw from Mr. Reed’s banner who might otherwise support nim. 1f he bas, as claimed, these three sec- tions solid bie will still bave to scrape te- gother more thun twenty votes from the other states, and it is upon his beliel in his avility to do this that he and his friends base their assertions that he will capture the prize on the flrst or second ballot.

Since Ger- many in 1872, followed by the other Euro- pean powers and partly by the United States, limited silver as a money the ques- tion had been a vital issue, and in the dis- cussion the bimetailists had won a victory. The attempt to change tho money standard from gold and silver to gold alone was worse than a mistake. It was almost a crime. The demonetization of silver had made the gold standard different. The demonetiza- tion of sllve was in fact a great crimo and its revocation was now the important question before the people. The people had suffered more from bad monotary legislation than_from any other cause. What was usked was the restoration of the money standard which existed for ages; that silver be placed on an equality with gold attLe ratio which has herctofore existed. It was the duty of the country to restore what should and Kennedy was seen cowming from there, bis foot tracks leading to the burning prop- erty. s He is an odd character and has had law- suits with both Huston and F Some time ago hie attempted to jump some of tho Union Pacific land here and a series of law- suits with the railroad company was the re- sult.

Cnrcaco, Nov. 20.—The first witness called in the Cronin case this morning on behalf of the state was Bailey Dawson, who testified that on May 4 of this year he was in the Emergency hospital; that he never introduced Bezgs to Colonel Babeock, but that on the night of the 11th he was present when Gleason did so.. The defense had intro- duced evidence that Beggs was at the Grand Pacific hotel on the night of May 4 and that he was introduced to Colonel Babeock on that occasion, Colonel Babedek then cor- roborated the testimony of Gleason. William Nieman was recalled on benhalf of the state and testified that he had been - troduced to James Hyland and that he was not the tall man who came into his saloon Saturday night, Miay 4,or Sunday night, May Hyland swore. Nieman had given testimony that men answering the descrip- tion of Coughlin, Burke and O'Sullivan hud been in his saloon in earngst conversation at 10 p. m. May 4. | “T'he state next introduced the driver and the man who rented the ecarriage to O'Mal- ley the night of May 4, and these witnesses contradicted anotter portion of the testi- mony of the defense. The proprictor and foreman of the print- g cfice where O'Sullivan’s cards were printed, gave evidence contrary to that of O’Sullivan’s men conceraing the delivery of the cards. Freder.ck Ebersoid, was then called. He sald that neither Ofticers Rowan or Crow, whom he sent out to investizate the Cronin murder, ever re- ported that Milkman Mertes told them ho had heard fighting or scuflling in the Carlson cottage. Several other witnesseés were examined on the same line before the noon recess was taken, The next five withesses who weroe called attacked the reputation of August Salzman, the man who testified teat.n new lock was put on Hoertel's door hftar May 5. Pat Dinangsthe ownperdf the white horse, testified that when fie was being questioned by Captain Schaak in the presence of Coughlin, that when Schaak asked hum for a de=cription of the mnan who hired the white horse, the witness replied ;: “Coughlin knows him and saw him and can describe him to you better than I can.” Andrew B. Anderson testifled that he was in Nieman'’s saloon 1wo or three times Sun- day night, May 5, and on each occasion there were ten or twelve persons there. 'Ihis was in rebuttal ot the testimony of Hyland, who testified that. they drank with O'Sullivan thereat that time, and that no one else was in the place. Chester P. Smith next testified that he had examined theé files of the Chicago daily pupers and found that Coughlin’s name 1n connection with the white horse was not mentioned prior to May 25 This was to coutradict a witness for the defense, who testified that he saw it about ten days after the murder. After anothar witness had testified in re- gard to the new cards whien O'Sullivan nad ordered printea, State Attorney Longenecker announced the case for the people closed. James Feltam was then sworn 1n rebuttal m behalf of Defendant l3eges. Feltam was secretary of the republican ward club meet~ ing at the Grand Pacific hotel on the even- ing of May 4 The miouwes daid not show whether or not Bailey Dawson was there. Forrest annouuced tbhat he would intro- some rebuttal testimony at the next n to show the whereabouts of William ughlin on the night of May 4. Judge McConnell then announced that owing to the illuess of the little daughter of Juror North the court would adjourn until Friday, in order w allow him to go to her bedside. e FILTH IN COURT, anspector of nalice, Chicago's Oarter Divorce Case Out- done In Knnsas City. Kaxsas Ciry, Noy. 2, —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The Carter divorce suit in Chicago had its sensational features, but the second hearing of the Welen divorce case of this city is proving its superior in point of racy development. President Burch of the Chicago life insurance company is shown to have ¢mployed Mr. Welch in his service at & good fat salary in order to keep his mouth shut. Mrs. Welch admits her infidelity, but claims that her husband was uware of it all the while and used the fact to procure extors tion money from the victims of her wiles. It was shown today that Burch gave Welch employment to keep him'quiet, and when te asked for further money he threateaed him with his dischavge if he opened his mouth with reference to the case.

A Suit Which Grew Out of tho Re- coent London Scandal, THE PROCEEDINGS INTERESTING. More Than Usual Attention Paid to it Becanso of its Bearing on Coming Mecting of ¥ llament, tho Ho Liked to View Statuary. 1Copurioht 1889 by James Gordon Benne LospoN, Nov. 20.—[New York Herald clal to Tur Bue.|—The growing sensation in London at present is what is familiarly known as the West End scandal. The ordinary police court aspect of the mat- ter ended with the sending of two sub- ordinate employes 1n the famous house to prison a wonth ago. Now, through the action for criminal libel of Lord Kuston, the caso has fairly assnmed the proportions which it is going to take in parliament when it open Labouchere leads the movement, in which all the influontial radica members are actively aroused. the defendant, is an unimpol newspaper man, yot he is dofended by two of the cleverest barristers in London next to Sir Charles Russell—Messrs Lockwood and gAsquith— both members of parlia- ment and counsel for Parnell pefore the commission, Aristocratic immorality in Tondon is no more morbid perhaps than i other great cities, but in this case the wholo cabinet is moro or less implicated 1 permitting guilty persons of the highest positions to escapo merited punishment, both in court and in parliament as far as possible. 1t is proposed by radical and many conservative members also that culpable oficials shall be shown up in their true light. The proceedings at the Bow street police court today were interesting from two points of view. In the first placo it was fraukly admitted by Lord Kuston's counsel that he had visited tho house n question. It was explained, howevor, that he went thero through having had a card thrust into his hand in Piccadilly one night advertising the house us a place whers one might see *poscs plastiques,” or living statuary.

The cross-examination crcated a buzz of talk which is echoed in all the West End clubs tonight. The committal of the defendant for trial was un accepted and foregone con- clusion, so that the chief interest in the cross-examination was its exhibition of the facts which the defense are going into at the trial, consequently Lockwood’s questions had a deep significance. He asked Fuston about his conncction with the army, past and present. He went into his acquaintance with Lord Arthur Somerset of her majesty’'s personal staff, who {8 now a fugitive at Boulogne.

HAvANA, Nov. 20.—|Special Telegram to Tne Bem]—There is apprebension here over the Pan-American cougress. The impres- sion here is that the American government seeks to isolute Cuba by shutting the ports of the United States to all her products and then ruin her commerce, industry and agri- culture interests, the ultimate object being to induce Spain to abandon the 1sland to the natives or to the United States as a useloss burden to the mother country, The idea is not unfavorably received by a small party of anaexationists to the United States, but is strongly opposed by the conservati and liberal sutonomists 1n Spain as well as Cuba. In order to combat its effects the Spanish minister of colonies has proposed to make a cousiderable reduction in the custom tarily in Cuba and Porto Rico on goods nported from the United States. It is generally doubted here, however, whether this policy will huve the desired effect if the American government is bent upon carryiug out its supposed scheme of isolation, > L - Glover Knocked Out by Smith, BAN Fraxcrsco, Nov, 20.--In a fight th a finish last uight for a purso of $800, Frank Glover, formerly of Chicago, was easily knocked out in nine rounds vy Billy Smith of Australia. e Canadisn Dishonesty, Bostox, Nov. 23.—A special from Ottawa says @ shortage of mauy thousand dollars has been discovered jn the provincial crown land oftice at Charlottetown, ¥, E, L BEE.
