He Pays a Visit to Minister Line coln and - Other Friends and 1s Invited to Hawarden, Talmage in London. [Copprioht 169 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpow, Jan, 23.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee,]--Dr. Talmage, pastor at the Tabernacle av Brooklyn, N. Y., has just arrived frem Paris and is lux- uriously quartered at the Metropole. Mrs, Talmage 18 with him, but his daughter has Rgone to Nice to visit friends. Mr. Talmage spent last evening returning courtesies ex- tended him by Minister Lancoln. In course of a long and interesting account of his re- cent journey in Palestine Mr. Talwage said to the Herald representative: *“The threo mouths 1 have spent in the Holy Land have been three months of tremulous excitement., Agamn and again I have been over- come with emotion as I visited and saw ‘with my eyes, yes touched with my hands, the things Christ saw and touched. Leaving aside all questions of sacred associations and historical suggestiveuess, Palestine's natural scenery itself is majestic beyond description. Itook my dragoman one afternoon justas tho sun was setting and pointing to the land- TH YEAR. scape before me, I said, ‘I have stood on the summits of the Siorra Nevada mountains; I huve climbed the highest Alps; I have gone through the Yosemite vailey, but never bo- fore in my life have I looked upon such a sight ag this.) The Holy land is a vast wil- derncss of mighty rocks ranging in size ffom mountains dowp to the sands of the ocean, These rocks are becoming skeletonized, A process of disintegration is going on and the lime is melting into tho soil and enriching it. Tho day is coming when the sea of Gallilee, instead of being a deso- late sheet of water with a handful of people on its shores supporting a meagoer existence, ‘Wwill become the source of wealth and great commercial activity. Its bosom will be cov. ered with fleets of merchantmen and thronged beside it will be cities with popula- tions reachine into 500,000. Every nerve in my body has thrilled as I have reachod one place after another and read the gospols o Matthew, Mark, Luke and John on the very spots whero Christ once stood. I not only recognized localities by the descriptions, but I recognized every object referred to in aacred passages. Had [ goue there an in- »-fldei 1 would have been converted to Christ fanity. I could have said it is impossible that the scriptures are a concoction or an in- vention of imposters. Think how I felt when' I reached Jordan after sleeping the previous night n the ruins of Joshuw's Jerico! Think of how I felt when a man in our party came and asked me to baptise him, He wished to be immersed in the very ‘wators where our Saviour was baptised. 1 found the candidate a profossing Christian and an earncst man. I consented, There was. a sheik who preceded our caravan and hi robe waa just like a baptismal robe, and I putiton, We found another white robe for the candidate; then standing on the shure of the Jordan I read from my bible the story of the baptism of Christ, ‘When the spirit of God descended Jike a dove from heaven and 8 voice was heurd saying, *‘This is my be- loved Son, Inwhom Lam well pleasel.” * My daughter wrote out some covies of a favorite hymn which we sing at home and all present —friends, pilgrims and strangers—joined in singing it there on Jordan's banks. Then we went down into the water, and under the willows, still growing in midwinter, I bap- tised the Chrisuian, That was the most overwhelming moment of my life. “We traveled all over the region. I have eaten fish caught in the sea of Gallilee; have batbhed in itand sailed on its waters, I ‘wanted to realiwe how the apostles felt in the storm. To give you an ides of how quickly storms arise on that inland sea I will say that within five minutes after we had glided out on a tempest us smooth as glass a tem- pest aroso and swept down 80 flercely aud the waves ran 80 high that we could only escape by landing at Capernaum. I have as- cended Mount Calvary, and now I know why it ‘is callod the ‘Place of skulls.” Looking at the peak from a dis- tance it exactly resembles a human cranium with two sightless sockets under its brow. Iwentup to the place where the three crosses stood. I have no douabt of their pre- cise location, There is just room enough for three men to die. Istood where the center cross cortuinly must havestood. Taking out my bible, I read to tho friends around me the story of the crucifixion. 1 could not fin- ishat. My feelings overcame me and I broke down. As I stood looking down tho slope of Calvary I saw a reddish rock below me, Irolled it down hill with my own hauds and had it carried on backs of camels to Joppa, where it was put on ship- board, ana it is now on its way to Brooklyn, That stoue1s to be the corner-stone in the new tabernacle Iam building to replace the oue recently aestroyed by fire, You have hourd of course that 1 proached on Mars Hill, where Paul once stood. On my way thither Istopped to look ata litue temple dedicated to an unknown god. Paul him- solf must have stopped there on his way to Mars Hill, sud I understood wha he meant when he said, ‘For @8 T puassed by and beheld your devotions I found an altar with this ioscrip- tion: **fo unknown god.” Whom, thereforo, yeo lgnorantly worship, him declare 1 unto you,””? Tt was the boldest thing said and the boldest thing ever done 1 uistory, Imet the king und queen of Greece during my visit to Athens. 1 uever saw a more lovable or gracious person than she. 1also had a pieasaut weeting with M. Tricoupis, prime minister of Greece, He was notonly exceed- ingly courteous, but his sister “entertained Mrs. Talmage, and it was through him we were preseuted to the royul fawily. While st a dwmner given by hun I expressed @ wisb to one of the guests, without tho faintest hope, to have a piece of rock from Mars Hill, where Paulstood, Iwas told to write & noe o tbe prime nunister. 1 did so, and within an bour an answer came back that my desire would be gratitied, Accordingly & big block of granite was cut from a rock, and it 18 o be hewn into a pulpit for my new tabernacio church in Brooklyn.” Dr. Talmage visits Gladstoue at Hawarden castle today by special invitation, He says hie looks forward 1o it as the event of his life.

The bride is a member of an old Lancashire family and was Miss Mabel Townloy, the oidest daughter of Mrs. Townley of 15 Upper Gros- venor street, The union of the two families 18 stated to be a source of great gratification to the Catholic world, and the supreme pontiff sent his special benediction to the bapoy pair. A WAR SH) - IN TROUBLE, Dartmouth Authorities Insist Anchurage Charges, | Copyright 1590 by James Gordon Bennstt,| on Loxpoy, Jan. 23.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tnr Beg, |—Another in- ternational episoda between the United States bas just been discovered by the Her- ald correspondent, The American man-of- war Epterprise put in at the beautiful Dart- mouth harbor a few duys ago and was taken by a pilot to the usual mooring place, A day or two later, when the war ship proposed to depart, the town harbor authorities pre- sented a small bill for anchorage privileges. The cabtain of the war ship Enterprise in- dignantly refused to pay, and sailed yes- terday. The war ship returned to the snme harbor with the embalmed body of ex-Min- ister Pendleton on board, aud the bill was aguain presented. The captain again indig- nantly refused to pay, a8 war ships are ro- ceived by courtesy in all harbors. The authorities insisted. The captain sent the bitl to Minister Lincoln. who sustained.the captain. The affair is creating much taik in American circ] A rich Philadelphian was 50 angry that he offered to pay the vill him- self. The captain refused. He said the bill was improper and illegal, and should not be paid. ‘Lhe foreign office will promptly set- tle the matter at sight. i g TROUBLE FEARED. Bloodshed Exp: cted at the Coming Ealt Lake City Election, Savt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 23.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bre.]--A sensation was created in this uuymdn_ury the discovery being made that the™ Mormons have o large number of privawe de- tectives from some eastern agency nera for the purpose of working in with the gentiles with the hope of getting bold of the secret plans of the campaign to carry the city in the February election. Tbe campaign has been a spirited one so far and feeling has run high, All manner of charzes of fraud have been preferred by both sides. It is known that the liberals have oblained many of the Mormons’ secret plans of colo- nizing the city, and by reason of this inforwa- tion upwards of two hundred names are either stricken from the registration list or will be refused a vote at the polls. This in- formation has been obtained by detectives 1n Mormon camps and councils, and the dis- covery today shows that the other side hus resorted to thesame tactics. Judeo Powers, chairman of the -liberal party, says he does not fear the work of the detectives, as he has long since_ determined that the best show for the gentiles rested in keeping thewr skirts clean and then abso- lutely shutting out all fraudulent votes offered by the Mormons. There can be hittle doubt that trouble will resuit over this election, and bundreds of deputy marshals will be provided to maintamn the peace, and if these fail the gentiles will have peace if they have to call on Fort Douglas and fight ~ for it. The time has come for the first time in the City of the Saints when the gentiles can walk the street and openly declare their intention to meet every offer of forco with force and defy their old time enemies to do their worst. Scarcely anythine else is talked of than the coming clection on February 10. KILLED Af A FUNERAL, A Father and Mother Join Thelr Dead Onita, Cuicaco, Jan, 23.—A husband and wife were killed this afternoon while at the f: neral of their cuild. ‘The driver of the cong veyance and a neighbor riding with them were fatally injured and died in a few min- utes. Mr. and Mrs. . Payne were the unfortu- nate parents. Simon Auderson was the nameof the hack- man and Mrs, Peprogal the neighbor. Just us the carriage reached the gate of Rose Hill cemetery, where the roud crosses the railway, the in-bound Chicagy express on the Chicago & Northwestern rond dashed upon it, utterly wrecking 1t and throwing the unfortunates thirty-five feet away. The nine-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Payne miraculously escaped with a slight wound. The driver and engineer are each censured for lack of caution, but the ubsence of a flagman at the crossing, uone being kept there, scems 1o have been cthe principal cause of the horror, as the view of both the engineor aud curriage driver wus almost, if vot wholly, shut off by the Rose Hill rail- road station and a group of salocns, A Similar Case, Nonrwark, Conn,, Jan, 23.—Mr. and Mrs, George Comstock, an aged and wealthy couple of Walton, were returning from a funeral at Walton toaay wheu the carriage -was strack by a train and both were fatally injured.

SITTING ON THE SAFETY VALVE. The Precarions Position of the South —A Review of the Rgmodies Pro- posed—Their IneMeiency— The Only Way. Senate. Wasnivatow, Jan. 23.—In the senate today the credentials of W. A. Clark ana Martin Maginnis as senators-elect from tho state of Moatana were presented. They were read and referred to the committee on priviloges and elections. A number of bills were then reported and’ placed on the calendar. As 2 o'clock approached the seats 1in tho golleries rapidly filled up and when Mr, In- galls rose to address the senate 1n opposition to Senator Butler's bill to encourage emigra- tion of the colored people from the United States, the chamber was crowded to the ut- most. Mr. Ingalls said: “Mr. President, the race 10 which we belong is the most arrogant and rapacious, the most exclusive and indomita- ble in history. It is the conquering and un- conquering race through which alone man has taken possession of the physical and moral world. To our race humanity 18 indebted for religion, for literature, for civilization, It has a genius for conquest, for politics, for jurisprudence and for admimstration. All other races have been its enemies and its victims, This is not the ime nor is it the occasion to consider profoundaly the interest- g question of unity of .races, It s suficient to say that either by in- stinct or design tho Caucassian race, at every step in its progress from barbarism 10 enlightenment has refused to mingle its blood or to assimilate with thg two other great human families, the Mongolian and the African, and has -persistently rejected adulteration,” Under the shicld of the American govern- ment, he said, every faith had found its shelter, every creed a sanctuary and every wrong redress, He quoted from Jobn Bricht's speech, during the civil war, in which Mr. Bright said: *I see another and a brighter vision before my guze. seo ono vast confoderation strotching from the frozen morth to the glowing south, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I 800 0ae people, one lan- guage, one law and one faith; and all over that wide continent the home of frecdom and the refugo for the oppressed of every race and every clime.” Mr. Ingalls proceeded: **On the thresh- hold of our second century weare confronted with the most formidable and portentious problem ever submitted to a free people for solution—complex, urprecedented, Involving special woral and political considera- tion, party supremacy, and in the estimation of many, though not in my own, the existence of our system of government. Tts system will demund all the resources and statesmanship of tho present and of the fu- ture to prevent a crisis that may become a catastrophe. It should be approached with candor, with solewmnity, with a patriotic pnrpose, with fearless scrutiny, without sub- terfuge and without reserve, Lot me state it 1n thelanguage of one of tha most brilliant, most impassioned and powerful of all the ocators of the south, Heary W. Grady, now unfostunately no more.” Mr. Ingalls thereupon sout to the clerk's desk and hud read an extract from Mr. Grady’s oration before the 3oston chamber of commerce and then went on to say: *The problem i» still further complicated by the fact that they are gregarious. They instinctively separate thewsclves into their own communities, with their own aubits, thew own customs, their own methods o life. The line of cleavage between the whites and blacks is becoming constantly more distinct and perceptible. Politically they are aflated with the v ors in the late civil war. Socially and by locality and residenco they are associated with the vanquished. Fred Douglas, the most illustrions hving reprasentative of the negro race, once said to me that he thought, us prejudice and social und political uutagonism disuppenred, the races would blend, coalesce and become homogenous. I do Lot agree with him. Such a sotution, in my judgment, would per- petuate the vices of both races and the vir- tues of neither.” After praising the colored people for their fidelivy to the south during tbe war he said : It seems incredible that their gratitude should not have defended ard shielded thenf from the hideous and indescribuble wrongs and crimes of which they Lave been for a quarter of a century the guiltless avd unre- s1sting vietims," Mr. Ingalls went on to speak of the de- termination of the south to eliminate the negro as a facor from 1ts political and social history, and quoted evidence on that point from democratic newspapers and democratic politicians, He particularly instanced the recent Jackson, Miss., election and quoted a statement that the election at Jackson was the most outragoous ever seen; the town had been taken possessionof by ‘‘toughs with rifles.” *‘It was said that Senator George's son was one of tne rifle men,” Resuming, Mr. Iogalls sai bo pretexts for this condition of th s all rest on the fear of negro sapremacy. To this nullification of the constitution *the people of the north have apparently con- sented, The south is standiny on a volcano, ‘The south is sitting on the safety valve, Al- ready the mutteriogs of discontent by hos- tile organizations are heard. The use of the torch and tue dageer is advised. I deplore it, but us God is my judge, I say no other people on the fuce of the earth tuve ever submitted to the wrongs and injustice which bave boen for twenty-five years put upon the colored men of the south without revolution and blood.” Mr, Ingalls went on to warn the south of the natural conspquences of its course toward the colored peopls. “Despotism makes nibilists.”” Ingalls then spoke of an outrage committed 1 Aberdeen, Miss., on the duy of Jeflerson Davis' fuueral, when a German tioner, a citizen of Indiana, acci- dentally in the course of his work let full from a house roof acable” which haa been strotched across the street by the citizons bearing the amf_v of the secretary of war, with the iuscription, *Red Proctor, the traitor.” For this accident the tinuer had been brutally whipped by one MacDonald with & whalebone coach whip of the larg size, receiving at least 200 lashes and being pearly blinded and terribly lacerated, Magc- Dovald was fined $30. The citizens immedi- ately subscribed twice the amount, dis- charged the fine, paid for the broken whip, bought @ rsilroad ticket for the victim and sent him out of town “If,V continned Mr. Ingalls, “an outrage like that had been loflicted on an American oitizen in Eagland, France, Bpain, anywhere on the fuce of the earth and there had uut been iustantaneous repara- tioo & wmillion men in this country would huve sprung to arms L0 avenge the outrage and wrong. But the outrage was wnilicted in Mississippi and the perpetrators go ‘un-' whipped of justice,” This race untagonism applied only to the colored man in the south when be desired to volte the republican ticket. If the colored men there were all democrats, the race question would be over.” Four solutions of the problem have been suggested—emigraticn, extermination, absorption and disfranchisement, but ‘there was still & fifth solution which - bad never been tried, and that solution was jussice. I appeal to the south to try the experiment of !:-v.m. Stack your guns. - Open your ballot xes. Register your voters, white or black, and if aftor the experiment has been fairly and honestly tried, it a) rs that the Afri- gan is incapable of civilization, if it appears that the complexion burnt upsn him by the sun is incompatible with freedom, 1 will pledge y-:l! to consult with you nho\ll‘.'xo measure of solving the race problem, Bat until then nothing can be done. Thé sitizenship of the negro must bo absolytely recognized, His right to vote must be admitted and the bal- lots ho casts mast be honestly counted. These are ossential proliminaries, the condi- tions precedont to any consideration of the questions of tho raee Sunremacy or raco equality in _the Uhited States, north or south. Those wbo freed the slaves ask nothing more; they will be content with nothing less. The experiment must ve fairly tried. Thisia the starting point and this is the goal, The longeF it is deferred the greater will b the exasperation and the more doubtful the final result.” At the conclusion of Mr. Ingalls' adaress the senate adjourned till Monday. Honvo, Wasiixgroys, Jan. 23, —~In the house to- day a resolution was adppted calling on the ser tary of war for information as to the present condition of the government works at the Rock lsiand arsenal and asking for an opinion as to the desirability of utilizing the works for a gun factory. The report of the committes on elections in the contested clection cuse of Smith vs Juckson, from the Iourth distriot of West Virginia, was submitted and recommitted. It declares the contestant elected and entitled to a certificate, The minority was granted leave to filea miuvority report. Tho house then went into committes of the whole on the customs administration bill, After sev- eral minor amendments were adopted, Mr. Bayne, acting under insteuctions from the comwmittee on ways and means, offered an amendment to section. 15 providing that during the pending of any controversy or litigation about dutios, merchandise shall re- main in the government warehouse and under the control of ‘the sccrotary of the treasury, Pendingaction the committes rose and ghe house adjouraed. - PR N L A LIVELY MEBTING. The Chicago Men. Very Suspicious of New York's Actions. Wasmyaeroy, Jan, 28, —The house commit- teeon tho world’s fair today discussed the subject and referved to the sub-committee already appointed two propositions, one pre- sented by Mr. Frank of Missouri providing for a commemorative celebration of the land- ing of Columbus in 1802 and 4 fair the follow- ing year, and another by ‘Springer of Iliin proposing thut the lLouse procesd to select tho site for the fair by “Dullos next Monday. The sub-committee, twhich consisted of Chairman Chandler and Measrs, Flower and Hitt, was increased by the addition of Messrs, Wilson of West:Virginia and Frank of Missouri. § The session was a_very hvely one. The Chicago men declared they .would not sup- port any plan that would rule out Washing- ton by dealing with 'the Hnanciul question before fixing the site. This brought out Mr. Frank's resolution mentioned above, This proposition embodied 8lt that was ob- jectionable to the Chicago representatives. They sala It showed -thgt. St. Louis could not take care of the fair and that these de- lays boded the entira failare of all efforts to hold the fair. Springer pharged that the Now York people were instrumental in de- laying action. He said Lhey were waitin upon the legislature av Albany to pass a bill for $10,000,000 for the improyoment of New Yorl's parks and the ting therein of buildings which were e tendered rent {ree to vhe gevernmeuntifor the use of tho fair. With this clib. Méw York's udhercnts were to go into the honse, an: their competitors by assc waiting to hear from/the Albaoy:legisluture and Mr. Frauk spoke of the vast prepara- tions necessary, which could not be com- pleted before 1893, Finally Mr, Springer introduced ' reso- lution that Monday nexg be set apart in the house for n debate on the most appropriate place for the location of the fair and that on Tuesday the house should proceed to ballot for the site. When the place is decided upon the select committea should be in- structed to report &t the carliest time practicable a bill locating tha fair, etc, such bill to be considered from day to day until disposed of, to the ex- clusion of other business except such as may be entertained by unanimous consent. Mr. Springer endeavored o secure iwmo- diate action on the resolution, but it was re- ferred to the sub-committee with Mr. Frank’s proposition, and’ adjoarnment was taken until Saturday. — e FATE OF Tikis ERIN.

I'A Bullion Basis and the Two Por COent Bond Proposed. BOTH FLANS MAY BE ADOPTED. In That Case the Banks Oan Have Their Choice—Tdahy's Statahood —Ingalls More Tnan Moots Expectations, 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasnizarox, D. Jan, 23, There will undoubtedly be some kind of legislation at the hands of congress during this session intended to relieve tho distre of the wnational bank system. Both the house committee on banking and currency and tho senate committee on finance are de- ternined that tho various clalises of the general proposition to afford relief for the banks shall be separate and distinct meas- ures, so that the success of one may not be contingent upon the success of another. The house committee on banking and cur- rency today by a unanimous vote instructed its chairman, Me. Dorsey, to report with favorable recommendation the bill giving national banks the full par valuo of circula- tion upon the bonds deposited. . There is no objection to this proposition in the senato committeo on finance, which will have jurisdiction of 1, and thero is little if any doubt that it will be passed by both brauches of congress at an early date. This will give un increuse of the general cir- culating medium of about $14,000,000. At the next meeting of the house commits tee on banking- and currency thes general proposition of maintaining our naticnal banking system will be discussed. There are some men in both houses o1 congress who beli_ve that it is not necessary to per- vetuate the nutional banking system and that 1t may as woll bo abolished or permitted to diea natural death by refusal to provide an- other basis for circulation. If the committeo detormines that the systom shall ba perpetu- ated—and there is very little if any doubt that it wiil so do~it will then take up the various provositions for a new basis of cir- culation. It may report a biil providing for the deposit of bullion ana av the same time propose & redaction of circala- tion to 5 or 10 per cenp of the cupital stock instead of 25 per dent as at present. If this is done it will be done by a separate measure, [vmay then be proposed by another bill to retund at least a portion of the national debt with a 2 per cent bond to ran fifty or one hundred years, this bond to be iutended as a special basis for national bauk circulation. If the bullion proposition and the 3 per cent bond suggestion should both prevail nationai banks will have the option on'the two basis, In any even there is little if any doubt that banks will be ziven the par value of circulation on bonds de- positod and the per cent of circulation re- quired will be reduced to 5 or 10 per vent of the copital atock. ‘This much is issued whether a new basis 18 provided or not. It is sa1d that the entire senate committee on finance 18 opposed to Secrctary Windom’s proposition for the issuance of certiticates upon silver bullion—practically free coinage of silyer, There has been no sentiment ex- pressed by the house committee as yot, " * INGALLS' GREAT BPEECH. - Seunter Ttizhlls Was physically unequal to the task which devolved upon him ia hi reply to Senator Butler an the negro em! ‘gration ‘proposition, but he was mentally equal to any ocvasion and fully maintainea his repatation as the greatest orator and most oryginal thinker before the American people. The senator bas been quite indis- posetl for three or four days with the pre- yoiling malady, and s (riends feared at tho last moment that he would not be well enough to undertake his speech, but with that true griv and courage which character - izes the wnap, he would not disappoint the thousands who crowded the corridors and galleries to hear him, As might have been expected, it was a wonderful spoech. Ther o was great range taken in s bremises and the most penetrating analysis of the propo- sitions laid down. Senator Ingalls showed beyond yuestion that if the negro was of- fensive to the southern man it was becauso Wasnixotox Boneau Tie Ovama Bes, } the latter first offended and bad neither patience nor justice for his bluck brother. ‘Lhe proposition of Senator Hamp- ton of South Carolina to extinguisa the color race by assimilation, or the popular southern mode of extinguishing thoso persons not de- sired, received such attention as to ehicite enthusiastic plaudits from the galleries and those on the floor, Every southern senator in the city, as well as thosc from the north, were in their seats and gave the closest at- tention, It is safe to anticipate that no man will attempt to answer the argument of the senator from Kansas, for it is unanswerable, The logic produced was that from the stand- point of Christian duty; it was a moral obli- gation entailed upon one man for the consid- eration of another. If the southerner be a democrat or a repub - lican, o non-partisan or an alien, but acknowledges that he means what is right, he must accept the statements of facts mude by Senator Ingalls as conclusive, If he would combat the premises of the argument he is by self-confes- sion opponed to all thav is right, There will be found in the speech much ar- gument which hus never bsen touched by our mdern orators and the whole presenta- tion deserves the most careful study of all readers, Senator Ingalls has proven him- self matchless in debate. He can always be brought forward with safety by his party whenever tho most scarching study of o proposition is Jemanded and its presentation made in any specific form necessary to meet & remote or unique case, There were vory few colored men in the galleries to listen to the speech, on account of the great clamor of persons in ofiicial and other high places for seats, but the colored people throughout the world will pursue this matchless argu- ment with us deep an interest as those of the Caucasian race who are responsible for the career of the generation of blacks in this country by virtue of baviog the reins of government in hand as well as the system of public and private education. Mrs, Harrison and her guests, Mrs, Mor- ton and General Alger of Michigan, were present. At the conclusion of tho speech Senator Ingalls was heartily congratulated by all the republican senators present, o host'of republicans from the house and by Vice-President Morton, The only demo- cratic senator who had a word of commenda- tion was Mr. Payne of Ohio. 1DANO'S STATENOOD, A sub~committee of the house committee on territories will give a final hearing tomor- row to Judge Jére Wilson and others repre- senting the Mormon interests as they are af- fected in the Idabo statebood bill The con- stitution adopted by the convention av Boise City last Seplember contains a clause which disfraucnises all persons wno have taken the obligation bestowed in the Mormon endow- ment house.

The face was bloodless and the eves of dark brown were rigid as if looking into that future which thoy were unable to peno- trate. ‘The hmbs had also succumbed to the rigor mortis, showing that death had rg- sulted some nours previous to the discovery of the remains, Coroner Harrigan was summoned. Ho ro. leased the gun from the grasp of the suicide, made an examination of tho wounds, and found that a bullet from the deadly weapon had passed through the mouth of the de- ceased, and emerged through the back of the nock near the junction of the braimn and the spinal column, producing death almost instantly.
