The Mormon q uesiion.

SAN Francisco, June l3.-The VIr-
ginis City Chronicle publishes ar inter
view on the Mormoa question with VIM.
w. Bishop, who defended John D. Lee.
He states, from an intimate knowledge OF
Mormon affairs, that If Brigham Young
thinks he can stand trial and get clear
there will be no resistance. If he appre-
hends conviction ne will unquesLlonaby
fight, and his followers will stand By
him TO the last. Higbee Hsrght and Stew
art can only be taken by superior force
of United States troops. Under the
present jury system it is simply impos-
slbe to convict any OF the other assasslns
in Utah. Lee WAS convicted only be-
cause District-Attorney Howard sue
ceeded in making Young believe that by
the conviction OF Lee Utah would be al
mitted to the Union rs state, where
upon Young ordered his conviction for
the good of the church. Dlstrict-Attor
ney Howard, he says, Is honest and
efficient in every respect. The stories
about his keeping back portion OF
Lees confession are false, except some
points left out to further the ends OF
Justice by an agreement between How
ard and the Bishop. Sulivsn's affidavit
he brands as false IN every particular
and gotten up In the interest OF the
Church. The feeling among the Gen.
tiles in Utah is very bitter. Those IN
Salt Lake feel safe, but in the small IN
terror towns much apprehension Is felt
Should hostiities commence most OF the
lighting would be In these small towns.
Young has given orders to his people 10
cease all commercial intercourse with the
Gentiles Of Southern Utah and Western
Nevada, but the order Is not strictly
obeYed.

ALouisyi,Ie Sensation.

LOUISVILLE, June ia very start
ling sensation has been developed here.
A lady occupying high social position,
Mrs. T. T. Hawkins by name, as the
story is told, within the last few years
obtained $4,000 from her mother on the
pretense that she was investing in tobac-
co speculations. She claimed that Sena-
tor Stevens u, George RI. Pendle-
ton, Colonel Tsyl.r and Others
were in partnership with her.
The mother believing this, advanced the
money. The gentlemen named deny
any business relations with her, ard the
story, so far rs they are concerned, Is
utterly devoid of truth. TIE lady made
an attempt 20 secure cash on the notes,
but failed. They were forged and signed
with Tsylor's name. Relatives pro-
nounce Mrs. Hawkins dersnged. The
affair causes crest excitement.

Further Particulars OF the Great
Earthquake on the soathern Paci.
fic COasI.

New YORK, June lS.-Cspt. Chss.
Mscloon, OF the ship Genevs, sunk st
Husnillos, in the great earthquake on the
Pacific coast on the 9th list, has arrived
and tells the story of his experinces. He
says though apparently anchored, his
ship became entsngled with Others near
as they tossed wildly about crashing
against each other, and sinking almost
instantly In fifteen fsthoms OF water. On
the first alarm he came up from between
the decks. II was about half
past eight in the evening. There had
been several shocks on the previous
twenty days, but be had completed his
cargo of gpsno, and was expecting TO
sail the mex; morning. Aside from =
frightlul rumbling sound, his attention
was arrested by an extraordinary phe-
noueaol on the shore, the mountain
above being 30 much agitsted that great
rocks became detached and rolled down
towards the sea, resembling balls OF ire.
Furthermore the water at the an
chCrage suddenly receded, 50 that
the ship in eight fathoms touched
bottom At the same time II was oh.
served that the ships were swinging
round and round and in opposite direc-
tions, the anchor chains becoming en-.
tangled beneath the copper yards and the
mssts interlockinE, while with falling
spars and u crash OF bulTorks the
water came sweltering IN like mseI-
strom, causing the Geneva TO swing
round at the rate of eight or ten knots An
hour IN great circles until she struck
against n rock, which tore out part
of the bottom and the ship WAS then
forced violently in the opposite direction
and went down. The vessels were
violently driven ashore and went TO the
bottom, AS in case of the English ship
Avonmore, Captain Garfield. which
took down with her the captains wife
and three children and several others.
Csptnn MscLoon says that it seemed to
him from the sulphurous or electrical
appearance OF the mountain that the
volcano was bursting out Of Its sides. the
rocks were tunbling about with fright.
ful noise and everything was lighted up.
He thinks the damage TO the shipping
WAS caused not so much by the tidal
wave rs by the upward rush OF water
and the rotary currents driving the
ships repeatedly against each other.
