The President was visited to-day by
a delegation from Utah, consisting of
Oliver A. Patton, Register of the Land
Office at Salt Lake; General Maxwell,
United States Marshal for Utah. aud
other prominent Gentiles from that
Territory. They particularly desire to
arrive at some means by which the
crime of polyganiy may be reached i'll
the courts, and 10 this end propose a
revision of he jury law by which a
polygamist shall be excluded as "A ju-
ror, as under The present system with
Mormon polygamists in the jury-box
it is impossible to obtain a conviction.
The interviewers also related to the
suffrage question in Utah, the delega-
zion claiming that the church leaders
entirely control the ballot among the
Mormons, many of whom would
vote with the Gentiles if they
would be allowed. The President ex-
pressed his sympathy for any move

condition OF matters in Utah and the

more.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 90.
An explosion of dynamite or safety
powder, followed by fire, occurred yes
terday afternoon in a factory at the cor
ner OF Biddle and Stillman streets, a
thickly-settted neighborhOod. About
300 cans, containing % pounds of
powder each, exploded in volleys, con-
tinuing for half an hour. The build
ing was shattered, the walls crumbling
in with the last volley and injuring six
tiremen but none seriously. During
the explosion the greatest consterna-
ton prevailed, and several families
procured wagons and moved away from
the neighborhood.
The Hawaiian Treaty.
CHICAGO, Jan. 90.
A Iribmne's Washington special says
the Committee on Ways and Means
has assigned Tuesday for the consider
alton of the reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Hawaii ratified
by the Senate during the special ses-
sion of March last. The treaty contains
the following provisions: The present
provision shall take effect as soon as it
shall have been approved and pro-
claimed by his Majesty the King of the
Hawaiian Island, and shall have been
notified and duly proclaimed on the
part OF the Government of the United
States, and not until the law to carry it
into operation shall have been passed
by the Congress of the United States of
America. This proviso, it will be seen,
requires not only the ratification of the
treaty 10y the Senate, but a special act,
placing the articles covered by 1t on
the free list before 1t goes into opera
ton. Mr.. Wood, who has charge of
the bill, will advocate it before the
committee, and Kelly, who is opposed,
will reply. The discussion is expected
to be quite sharp. Kelly's opposition
is understood to be based not SO much
on the merits OF the question itself as
on his general opposition to any meas
ure looking toward the reduction or
abolition Of the tariff or any operation
which may be considered as a precedent
for the negotiation of reciprocity with
Canada.

CHICAGO, Jan. 90.
A Washington special says the cor
respondence between the United States
and Spain, relative to Cuba, has been
printed. 1t contains much OF interest
from the text OF those dispatches, and
it very clearly appears that the Gov
eminent at IN time seriously consid-
cred interference. This may furnish
the keynote to the naval outlay in No
vember.
