" ————— THE UTAH COXMISSION. Reportof its Operations During the Past Year, St Laky Crmvy, Ulih, Sept. 17.—Tho Utah ommision has forwarded to the secrtaryof the interiora lengthy report of its operations and proceclings thepastyear. Tho pricipal featurels a recommendation forfarther legislation in supportof existing laws. In reviewing the situation thecom- missioners *During the year there have bee freguent expressions of thohope that thechurch would in some authoritative anl explicit maner declarein favorof the abmdounent of polygpimy as one of the tewhing of the chureh, butno such declara. tion hasbeenmade, So complete is the control ofthe churchoverthe people that there s litlle resson for doubting that if suich declar atin wis made itwdull be sccepted and fol- lowed by a large me ority of the member- ship, and a settlemeii of thequestson would soon bereached. On the contrary, inail the teachings inthe tabernicle and the church organs every effort of (e governmentto sup- press this crime is still denominated persecu- tion. The churh sems to grow more united from day to day under these teach At the gencral conference Last April Wilford Woodiufl, a disfranchised pilyganist, was diosen ‘prphet, seecr and rovelator and president of the churchof Jesus Christof Latter I Saints inall the world.! This is the fist tine since the death of John Taylor in 1887 that the ofice has been filled. At tho same tine George (. Canuon was chosen ‘first councellor' and Loreno Siow ‘president of the twelve apostles, these also being disfranchised polygumists., Alargo portion of the twelve apostles and high dignitaries of the churchare polygam- ists :mf allare wputed to be open believers in the doctrine.” The report further siys that the commis- slon has returns frm wgistationofficers which enumerate forty-one malepersms who, itis oeievel, have_eiterel int polygamic relations since the June revisionin 189, The Teliefis expressed thatonly a small proportion of polygamnist marriages ar reported,is miny of the registrars are members of the Mormon church, The cmmission recommends that its powers be enlarged 80 15 to enable it to issue instructions which shall be binding upon registrars, Italso recornmends theen- actment of & law similarto the Idaho test oath law, Wlieving that itwoull do more to put an end to the teaching and practice of Jolygumy than has yet been acom plished by a partial enforcement of the existing laws, T2 tonclusion the ommision repats what it saidin its lastreport, “Thatin this matter the government andeongress should take no backward or even wavering step.’’ - FIEND AN WOMAN’S SERAPE, Attemptof aGirl to Kill Hexr Mother andSister. .

THE PADDOCK PURE FOOD BIL. The Palddock pure fod bill, which has been placed onthe orderof business forcon- sideration at this session before adjournment, willbe reschedin afew days, Very strong pressure is being brought to bear from the westto prevent the substituting of the Con- ger compound lard bill for the FPaddock bill when it is taken up, and Senator Paddock’s committee room has been besicged by repre- sentativesof the packiug interests through- out the cuntyy and flooded with telegrams from favmers? allisnces and business men of Nebraska praying for adelayin the consideration of thelard bill until what they callits enorml- tiesshallhavehadan opportunity to be ven- tilated. It is urged bythe opponentsof the Conger lard bill that its enactment into law would wipe out the compound lard interests of the west, including thoseat Omaha, Lin- coln, Kansas City and Chicago, ond that the inevitable result of the lawwould bea very heavy ful in the price of farm products. Senator Paddock, however, asserts that the senate shall have an o]lg(;l‘l\mity to express Wisnxorox Buneau T OvAwi Bes, } its opinion on the subject and will sce that those who desive to push the Conger bill as a substitute for his own bill stall have anopportunily todo so. Itis mot probable that he will himself make the motion of substituting, as ke considers tie pure fod bill infiuitly superior to the Cangerbill.

WasHNGTON, Sept. 17.—George B, Flem- ing was the firsf y before the committee investigating the charges against Conmissioner Raum. When he was 1led both sides disclhimed having subpenaed him and there was a hitch about his examina- tion, but finally Cooper consented to examine him. Cooper asked if Butler Fitch tad not told hin that Bradley Tanner had given hin the names of six or seven pension offico em- loyes who hield refrigerator stock, Witness ied that Fitch had said o, Witness ha written an articleon the subject which ap- paredin an Indianapolis paper and had urnishied the information toa St. Louis pa- per. Six or seven good men besides Fiteh supplied witness with information, four of them being pension office employes. ¥ The commissioner sought 1o ot their names, but Cooner and Lewis protested, the former saying that the evilent purpese was to*'geteven” with the employes. The commissioner replied that he desired to bring them before the conmittee. Sontinuing, Fleming saidhe sent_the men to Tamer to talk with him and bring infor- mation to witness. He (Fleming) desired to use it in his newspaper businers. But his obect was not in particularto put up a case on'the commissioer, but to getat the truth. He had never said he was* oingafter the com- nissioner’’ because ofhis discharge, Had said lie wauld get even with the man who got bim oit. Theolore Smith had done it. . He had been postmasterat Charlotte, Mich., and the postofice hud been robbed. The commissioner inquired whether the witness had not been involved in some shady real estate transactions in Grand Rapids, but Cooper objected to theso personal matters. The commissioner replied that he wanted to provethatthe witness was a rascal, Cooper—If you gointo that I want to show it is true that you men who live in glass houses should not throw stones, Commissioner Raum—I think your houso is 08 glassy 03 nn{bnd)"s. Cooper—Well, T defy you. Asthe commissioner bressed the question, Cooper exclaimed : *“If I can't show more rottenness in his (Raum's) record than in thatof any man in Washington I will with- draw,” Reference havingbeen made again to the robbery of the postofice, Cooper asked if the commissioner expected toshow that the wit- ness robbed it.

Speaking of the MecKinley tanff bill now before the United States congress, Sir John said that no doubt Canadians would ratherthe bill did not pass, butas the measure was about tobecome a lawit would be well to consider its commer- cialcomplexion. Whether the bill was dic- tated by unfriendly motives, or owed its or- igzin solely tothe pursuunce of a definite line of commereial policy, he would notun dertake to say. He bad noiwishto impute unfriendly motlves, yet undeniably its cfl would be detrimeital to Canada’s interests. It would check and have a tendency to diminish its volime of commercial Intercourse between thetwo countries, But the fault of such a result could not boattributed to Canada. He said that since the abrogation of the re- caprocity treaty of 1854, the. different govern: maits, conservative and reform alike, had endeavored tosecure improved trade relations between thatwo countries. If the McKinley bill passed, Canadians werenot goingto_cry about 1tlike children, but meet itin the best way they could. After the renunciation of the old reciprocity treaty, Canada opened up new channels of trade, ind in a fow years the people were almost inns good & position us ever, In thesamemauly spirit in which they acted then they must act now. —— A Wenlthy Farmer Adjudged Insane.
