iics. Inc discourse on this occasion was de-
livered by Right Rev. Bishop Gibbons. Pre-
Vious 10 entering upon his subject he eX-
planned that during the present Lentcn sea-
son he proposed to give course of doctrinal
instructions, the object of which was not
only to refresh the memories of the faithful
of his Church, but at the same time to en-
deayor to do away with many Of the crro-
neous impressions that pervaded the minds
Of those of other denominations. He stated
that in these instructions or explanations he
did not intend to use any language that
would in any manner jar upon sensitive
feelings OF persons who held different be.
liefs from himself, but would contne himself
to such language as he felt sure would be
acceptable to ALL lie then proceeded to de.
liver an able discourse upon "The primacy
and supremacy of the power of st. Peter
The remarks Of the yenerated Drelate were
clear, eloquent, and impressive, and yet sim.
pie enough to reach the most obtuse mind
He was listened to with deep attention bs
the immense congregation present. Bene-
diction of the Blessed Sacrament concluded
the services of the evening, during which
the choir rendered some choice and most de-
l;shtlul music.

DIR. Wynne replied to Mr.. Starke, and said
he referred to the men whom he knew in
this matter. He claimed that MIR. Starke had
no right to separate himself as member OF
the Council, and then connect himself with
this matter.
Mr.. Newberry said be had unwittinsly
given rise to the personal discussion, but as
he had used the word surreptitiously,v he
would now take occasion to say he thought
1t was properly used. He didu't know he
was treading on anybody's corns. He had
met Mr.. Starke and talked with him, but lie
had never imagined that Mr.. Starke was the
originator of it. He (Mr. Newberry) had
gone into this matter with the purest of
motives in the world to check what he
thought was bad move. He wanted tue
citiZans. tQ We'll understand what they are
doing, and he hoped the Council will at
once do all it can to stop the matter.
After some further debate MIR. Talbot
moved to lay the subject on the table. He
wanted time to think of it. Sixteen per
cent. might not answer.
The resolution to lay on the table was
lost.
Mr.. Wynne asked that thc question be
separated on the two resolutions.
Mr.. Ncwbcrry also wanted his resolution
voted upon separately.

Utah is not the only place in the
United States where man may enjoy
aplurallty OF wives with impunity, al
though the process by which this pri
vilege is obtained is not one cs!cul ated
to endangor the institution Of monag a
my. Some years ago the house Of a
New Zealander named Oades was bur
cd by natives while it's owner was tenn
poraily absent, and on his return he
found, as he thought, the bon.s of h,s
wife aud children among tho ruins.
He thcreupon sailed for California, and
after the lapse of u few years married
again. But his wife Wns captured, not
burned, by the saragcs, and she had re
gained her liberty. when she made her
way to California, found her husband
and by mutual agreement became an
equnl'sliarer With tho second Wifsi1
her husbands American hom.-an ia
stance of feminine generosity only par
cllcd bJ tho English and Saracea wif Q
of the old crusader. Tho family lived
contcntodly enough, but their ncighb,rs
were s;andalized at this perver.ion and
reversion Of Enoch Arden's case, and
they brought tho matter before th e
courts. The law of California however
declares that if . husband or wife is
separated from his or her cons,.rt for o
period Of five years, and either party
marries again under tho impression that
tho first conscrt is dead, the second mar
riagc is not void except upon application
OF either party during tho life of the
other. AS the two wives in the present
case are willing to live under ono roof
and as the husband is anxious to have
them do so, the courts decline to
interfere, and SO the Newlauder is a
bigumist according to law.
