Sentence of a Polygamist.

SALT LAKE, June 2.-Judge Emerson to-day
sentenced John Miles, polygamist, to pay .
fine OF one hundred dollars and be confined in
the Nebraska penitentiary five years. During
the proceedings Miles impertiently re-
quested not to be lectured and
asked no mercy of the court. This
case has attracted unusual attention from the
fact of its being the second conviction under
the laws of the United States, and that Miles
was to marry three young women at the Same
time with the advice and consent Of John Taylor,
president of the Mormon church. An appeal
has been taken to the supreme court Of the
Territory, and bond fixed at FIVE thousand
dollars,

RADICALS IN CAUCUS.
The Republican members of the Senate as
sembled in caucns this afternoon in re,ponsc
to call which did not state its object, but
which proved to have been issued at the request
of few Senators who desired caucus action
concerning Bayard's bill to repeal sections $40
and S2l, revised statutes. The first of these.
sections repeals the jurors test oath. There
was practical unanimity of opinion
in the caucus that the section authorizes
Judges of United States courts to exercise
their own discretion in regard to challenges of
persons drawn as jurors who have participated
in the rebellion. The opinion of the caucus
was that this section has never been abused
and is not likely to be, and therefore it should
stand. No other question was brought before
the caucus. The new Democratic programme
IN regard to appropriation bills was incident
ally referred to by several Senators, and.
although there was no discussion concerning
it the general sentiment expressed in con-
| versatiun among those present, favored a9poli-
cy of resisting any and all attempts Of the
dominant party in Congress to accomplish, or
| to appear to accomplish by indirection, any
thing that has been heretofore attempted with
out success openly. It was, however, con-
sidered advisable to defer CAUCUS discussion of
the political situation until the bills shall
have been presented in Congress and an oppor-
tunity afforded Of their critical examination.

sIxty-six Years a soldier.

A communication from Lieutenant
Day, sixth United States infantry
making application for admission of
Private George Phister to the Ma
tional Soldiers Home at Washington,
has been received by General Sheri-
dan. The soldier has an interesting
history. According to his written
statement he enlisted in the service of
France in 1915, when but sixteen
years OF age, serving continually for
eighteen years. He was present on
the field of Waterloo, soon after the
battle had ceased in Algiers under
General Bourmaud; and in Spain
under due de Berri. He came to the
United States, and, upon the breaking
out Of the rebellion, enlisted in the
twenty-fifth New York volunteer in
lantry, in which he served two years
He was present with his regiment in
the Peninsula campaign, and was
WOunded at the battle of Gaines
Mil. Upon the muster out of the
twenty-Etth regiment he Immediately
re-entered the service as private in

Of any kind. His company comman-
der, in making application for the

The Romance Of Contaglon.

A story is told of crafty Ameri-
can skipper who escaped the clutches
of a hostile cruiser by hosting the
yellow flag, and exhibiting one of his
crew over the bulwarks stitched up
in hammock, as if about to be flung
into the sea. AS his vessel was lying
off port where the yellow fever was
then raging, the privateer took the
alarm and sheered of. Even this
however, was exceeded by an episode
Of the Egyptian war Of le39-4O, when
Admiral Napier's squadron was cruis-
ing in the Levant. The lookout
man of an English frigate one morn
ing saw an Arab in the water, seem
ingly in danger of drowning. a boat
was lowered, and the swimmer picked
up; but he died shortly after being
brought on board, with all the symp-
toms Of the plague, and was quickly
followed by the Captain and a fourth
of the crew. 1t was afterward found
that this desperate fanatic, finding
himself death-stricken, had deliber-
ately swan off to the ship, with the
intention of carrying the infection
among his enemies.

more than seven hundred dollars \

JOHN ELIOTS INDIAN POLICY.
A Letter Written Two Hundred Years
Ago by the Translator Of the
Indian Bible.

Boston Advertiser.
The pending discussion about the
Ponca Indians, and the effort to have
justice done to them in regard to their
lands, and to have their cause pleaded
before some competent tribunal, re-
calls letter Of the celebrated John
Eliot to Governor Winthrop, of Con-
necticut, during the period of King
Philips war, in 1915. The second
paragraph of the letter is as applica
BILE to-day as it was two hundred years
ago
For THE Hon. Mr.. WINTHROP.
GOVERNOR OF CONNECTICUT. THESE
Honorable Sir: | have thankfully
received your very loving and prudent
lines, which breathe the very spirit of
a Christian governor, striving for
peace, making war the last and una
voidable remedy. What the causes of
the war were, | suppose Plymouth
will declare. | know them not, but
betwixt God and us, think our sins
have ripened us for so severe a
scourge as the war hath and is like
to prove. We were too ready to think
that We could easily suppress that
flea; but now we find that all the
craft is in catching of them, and that
in the meanwhile they give us many a
sore nip. We praise God for the
peace with Narragansett unto which
your forces under Major Winthrop's
command did very much contribute !:
and the juncture of that overruling
Providence, in timing the coming Of
your letters, which remanded your
forces one-quarter of an hour before
the consummation of the peace, doth
much engage our hearts to adore the
oyerruling hand of Ged appearing in
these motions.
Sir, | humbly request that one
effect of this trouble may be to
humble the English to do the Indians
Justice and no wrong about their
lands, and | make bold to request
that Captain Dennison may have free
leave, without offense to the English,
to plead the Indians cause.
Our doing them justice about their
lands may, by the blessing of God,
open their hearts to the word of God
to bring them to religion, which | do
earnestly desire may be another effect
of this great nation. The Indians
have very sinfully refused praying to
God, but they do too much Justify
themselves by the example of the
English. For when | have exhorted
them to keep the Sabbath and pray
unto God they have answered me
why do you speak so to us; why do
you not speak to your own country
men? We do but as they do" |
greatly desire that one effect of these
wars may be to reform these great
sins among the English. We had
need be serious in this matter. lest
God should chastise US seven times
more by his next visitation. But |
shall give you no further trouble at
present only commencing you to
the Lord, desiring prayers, | rest your
honors to serve you in our Lord
Jesus, JOHN ELIOT.
