The southern and western Trade Opens
Brisk.

New YORK, Sept. H.-Importers and job
bers state that an unusual heavy trade has
already set In from the West and South, and
that merchants who have been buying at
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis have this
fall transferred their orders to this market.
Many causes are assigned for this change,
the principal one being the necessity of es-
Gaping high transportation rates which the
managers of the Western and Southern rail-
roads have imposed on local freights These,
from the large Western cities to inland cities,
are more than through rates from New York.
The recent heavy trade sales at auction, at
which low prices ruled has also attracted the
attention of distant buyers, who have thus
been enabled to lay in full lines Of silks, rib
bons, laces and dress goods, boots and shoes,
freight included, at less rates than the same
could be purchased at the principal Western
and Southern iobbing points. In converse
tion with several large Western and Southern
dealers, a reporter was informed that the
never were more favorable to an
brisk trade than at present. they
state that the crops are heavy, confidence is
and producers are cheerful and

The Twelve Apostles Pretend to Hav,
Divine Revelations.

Wlv1Hf NeFelHSAUHA.
SALT LAKE, Sept. 1.-THE apostles Of the
Mormon Church. joined by J. w. Young and
Daniel II. Wells, late counselor Of Brigham
Young, published a circular last night stating
that on September they held meeting and
waited upon the Lord who blessed them and
revealed to them what steps they should
take. John Taylor, senior apostle, acting
president Of the twelve, was unanimously
sustained In that position. 1t was also de-
cided that a quorum of the twelve apostles Is
presiding quorum and the authority Of the
church This was the plan pursued at the
time of the death of Joseph Smith. and was

ham.

was ordered that President John Taylor be
assisted by John W. Young, Daniel H. Wells
and Geo. @. Cannon. A circular claims that

to be faithful In building temples and paying

New YORK. Sept. 11.@-A special from Salt
Lake says the Twelve Apostles yesterday is
sued an epistle to the Mormons claiming to
have received revelation from God on the 4th
inst, directing them to preside over the
Church. without electing q new prophet.
The PRONUNCIATION of the extraordinary
doctrine created great excitement among the
Mormons and disgust among the Gentiles
who are too well aware of past acts of several
OF the Twelve, not to believe that the AL
mighty had but a small part In the matter.
This revelation goes far beyond anything
Joe Smith ever dreamed Of and is euualed
only by the disgusting bulletins which
Brigham sent forth from time to time.
The Apostle Taylor is acknowledged to be
president by q quorum OF the governing
body. The epistle declaring this doctrine IL
very lengthy and Is signed by all the apostles,
who clinch their claim by quoting from SER
mon delivered at Nauvoo long ago by Brig
ham. They quote the fact that Joe Smith
conferred upon the twelve apostles all the
keys aud powers belonging to the apostles,
which he himself held before he was taken
away, and declare that no man can get be-
tween Joseph Smith and the twelve apostles
either In this world or the world to come
They waited upon the Lord who blessed
and revealed to them the future course they
should pursue. According to hundreds Of dis
patches sent off yesterday, 1t is evident that
the twelve apostles and their friends have
given orders that the church, meaning the
untutored masses, must accept this epistle as
settling the question OF leadership; as heaven
has conferred the ruling power on these
twelve men, it will be q capital oifense to
raise any objection to their acts.

THE SPEAKERsHIP.
The Coming Fight I'm Congress Over the
Speakersl.ip, Clerk shin Etc


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE impf@tant
question, who will be nextspeaker, is cresting
an earnest discussion In political circles fsre.
The latest theory ON the subject is that the
South, having determined upon an ex-Csm-
gresham Of Alabama for theposition of Clerk
OF the House, will naturally unite upon {. ca1p.
dtdate for Speaker who will agree to throw his
strength In the direction of It's choice for
Clerk. 1t being aseertained that Mr. Randall
have pledged himself to aid and support the
present Clerk, Mr., Adatns, for reelection. IT
Is doubtful whether he can pull himself
through.
AS regards the talk about an Administers
tion clerk, 1t may be stated that Preside mt
Hayes has never, at any time, expressed any
desire to interfere, by his personal influence,
with the speakership Of the House, but con =
sidereti that matter clearly within the pro-
vince OF the House alone to decide
The speculation concerning Gen. Banks, as
an independent candidate, Is not given much
weight, from the fact that the most reason
able opinion seems to be that the House will
organize upon straight party line basis, and
the next Speaker will be an out-and-out
Democrat.
Prominent Democrats from the South state
the question of subsidy to the Texas Pacific
