NEWS OF THE WEEK.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Later advices from Rome are to the effect
that there is movement of the Catholic Ultra
montanes to re-establish the temporal power Of
the Pope.
Recent investigations by competent military
officers have revealed an unsupported weakness
in the Turkish armament. The figures given
show that the whole military establishment of
the empire numbers only about $50, 600 men-a
ndiculously inadequate force for the defense of
frontier extending almost from the Adj iatic
to the Black sea, and from the eastern shores
of that sea to the Caspian.
Montenegro stubbornly refuses to relinquish
the territory conquered by her war with Tur-
key, and has issued a circular to the powers
stating that she will continue to occupy and
defend the districts in question against any at
tempt at recapture. The Porte, under pres
sure of the fanatics who will not listen to the
negotiation of peace that does not involve
the restoration of this territory, is compelled
to demand it's surrender, and thus the matter
stands.
The deaths in London from smallpox aver
age 100 per week.
sharp battle has been fought in Japan be-
tween the Government troops and rebels The
latter were routed at every point.
The industrial crisis in Germany grows worse,
and restitution is spreading with significant
rapidity. A Deputy recently stated in the
Reichstag that actual famine was impending in
the Giant mountains, Silesia. In Berlin, a COM
mittee has been formed to initiate measures of
relief, and other cities and towns have asked
permission to begin important public works to
give employment to the poor. Altogether the
situation is distressing and the famine threat
ening.
For the first time in the history of the En-
ghsh university races a dead heat has been de-
clared. The annual race between Oxford and
Cambridge, ON the Oath Of March, was the most
exciting ever rowed on the Thames and at the
finish the Judge refused to decide in favor of
either, and the heat was declared off.
A London dispatch announces the death of
Walter Bagehot, the well-known writer on po-
litical economy.
Rome dispatch says: "The Pope's illness
is quite serious When the fainting fits have
occurred he has remained unconscious longer
each time. He does not wish his illness to be
perceived, and mades strong efforts to hide it,
producing painful reaction"
A British war steamer lately went up the
Congo river, on the west coast of Africa, and
hammered seven negro villages to pieces, as a
punishment for capturing and plundering an
American schooner.

Family Succession in Congress-.

The Camerons don't present the first
instance of family succession in the Sen
ate. The present Senator Bayard sue
ceeded his father, and both were elected
to the Senate on the same day-the
father to fill a vacancy and the son to
succeed for the long term. Two brothers,
Salisbury, have rotated in the Senate
from Delaware-Willard having served
twelve years and Eli having succeeded
him, and now just entered his second
term. Benton sat in the Senate with his
son-in-law, Fremont, and Dodge, of Wis
consin, served in the same body with his
son from Iowa. Butler served in the
House with a son-in-law (Ames) in the
Senate, and Chandler served in the Sen
ate with son-in-law (Hale) in the House.
The strongest representation of any one
family in Congress was the three Wash
burn brothers, who served together in
one Congress from Maine, Elihu
from Illinois, and Cadwallader from
Wisconsin Philadelphia Times.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Judge Stanley Matthews has been elected by
the Ohio Legislature to fill the vacancy in the
United States Senate created by the resignation
of Mr.. Sherman.
The Pennsylvania Legislature has ratified the
nomination of J. Donald Cameron as the success
or of his father, Simon Cameron in the United
States Senate.
A Washington dispatch says: minister
Washbune informed friend that he had
asked to be recalled, and he expected his re-
quest would be complied with. His friends say
he will return from Paris in the fall and pre-
pare to contest the Senatorial succession with
Senator Oglesby."
It is stated from Washington that 'the COM
mission of Waldron as Marshal for the Mem
phis Glenn. district has been made out. This
is the officer whom the President nominated.
and who, through false representations made
to Senators, was allowed to lie in committee
without action. Tennessee men who desire to
come in accord with the administration are
highly pleased with the final success of Wal
dron"
Touching the Presidents Southern policy,
the Associated Press agent at Washington
sends out the following seni-oficial dispatch /:
Concerning the alleged assurances Of the
President to Southern gentlemen, involving the
withdrawal of the troops from the capitals of
Louisiana and South Carolina, there is authority
for saying that the President has given no as
srrance of immediate action on that subject
In all cases he has said that the gravity of
these questions required caution and delibera-
ton, and hence his recent letter to Cows.
Washington. It is further stated in official
quarters that previous to the Presidents in
auguration he meditated sending q COM
mission to Louisiana. Several Of the
prominent Southern men, who had been
referred to as parties to the various
alleged agreements on the subject, say they
are as well satisfied now as at any previous time
that in the end no Southern State Government
will be sustained by Federal troops. They con-
slider that nothing has been done by the Presi-
dent since he Endorsed the sentiments of Rep
resentative Fosters speech, or since he made
them more emphatically his own in his inau-
gural address, which violates Or indicates any
intended violation of policy thus announced,
and, therefore, even if the assurances given by
Matthews and Foster had been made by the
President himself (Which was not the case)
there is no ground for asserting that they will
not be fulfilled

A. Oakley Hall, ex-Mayor of New York, and

His friends believe that he has either been muir

LEES CONFESSION.

Shortly after the conviction of Lee,
in September last, he made q full
confession in writing of his parici-
patton in the Mountain Meadows massa-
ere, from which we make the following
extracts:
My name is John D. Lee. 7 was born
on Sept 6, 1912, at Kaskaskia, Randolph
county, ILL., My mother belonged to the
Catholic church, and was christened in
that faith. My parents died while [ was
still child, and my boyhood was one Of
trial and hardships. I married Agathe
Ann Woolsey in 1888, and moved to Fay
cite county, Ill, on Ruck creek. There
[ became wealthy In 1886 I became
acquainted with some travelling Nor
mon. preachers. [ bought, read
and believed the Book of Mormon.
[ sold my property in Illinois and moved
to the far West in Missouri in 1887, where
[ joined Mormon church. I took an
active part as Mormon soldier in the
conflicts between the people of Missouri
and the Mormons, which made Jackson
county, Mo-, historic ground When the
Mormons were expelled from Missouri, [
was one Of the first to settle at Nauvoo,
ILL.,, where [ took an active part in all
that was done for the church or city. [
travelled extensively through the United
States as Mormon missionary, and acted
as trader and financial agent for the
church from the death of Joseph Smith
until the settlement at Salt Lake City.
AS duty to myself and mankind [ now
confess all that I did at the Mountain
Meadows massacre without animosity to
anyone, shielding none, and giving the
facts as they existed. Those with me on
that occasion were acting under orders
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-Day Saints. The horrid deeds then
committed were done as duty which we
believed we owed to God and our church.
We were all sworn to secrecy before and
after the massacre. The penalty for Civ
ing information concerning the crime was
death. AS am to suffer death for what
[ then did, and have been betrayed both
by those who gave the orders to act and
the most active of my assistants, [ now
give the world the true facts as they ex-
ist, and tell why the massacre was COM
mitted and who were the active partici-
pants The Mountain Meadows massa-
ere was the result of the teachings of
Brigham Young, and it was done by the
orders of those high In authority in the
Mormon community. The immediate
orders for the massacre were issued by
Col. Dame, Lieut. Col. Isaac G. Haight,
and the Council at Cedar City, Utah.
Lieut.. Col. Haight said the emigrants
were rough set that they were bad
men, robbers and murderers, and that
they had helped to kill the Missouri
prophets. I believed him. I was or
dered to raise the Indians to attack the
train and run off the cattle, and to have
the Indians kill the emigrants. Maj.
Highly made speech, and said that the
emigrants were all to be killed who could
talk, and that we must get them out of
the Notifications by treachery. We had
