Against Mormonis1n.
TIE ADMINISTRATION TAKES A DECIDED
srAND-No MORE MORMON EMIaRANTs.

WASHINGTON, August S.-Tho Nor
mon question, like great many other of
our political md social questions, has risen
to international Importance. Tho letter
prepared by the Secretary of State, pro-
testing against the conduot of tho Govern
mcnts of Great Britain, Germany, Norway,
Sweden and Denmark in continuing to
allow their subjects to leave for the United
States rs Mormon emigrants, was read at
tho Cabinet meeting to-day, aud copies
sent by to-night's mail to our diplomatic
representatives in those countries. The
letter, it is understood, is on energetic pre-
sentation of the yicws Of the Admioistra-
ton on the Mormon question, aud the
determination on its part to make tho insti
tuition of polygamy as odious as possible
under existing laws 1t begins by setting
forth that under our statutes bigamy is a
orimo in any ono of the Territories of the
United States, and that men or women dcs-
tined for Utah 60 there with the intention
and for tho avowed purpose Of violating this
law. Tho letter then recites that by tho
act of July l, 1862, every person having a
husband or wife living, who marries another,
whether married or single, In Territory or
othcrpla over which tho United States have
exclusive jurisdiction is guilty of bigamy,
and shall be punished by fine of not more
than $500 and by imprisonment for term
of not moro than five years, and that under
this law, which has been declared constitu,
tional by tho United States Supreme Court
upon test case, George Reynolds, citizen
Of Utah and momber of the Mormon
Church was convicted Of bigamy, and is
now Serving sontonoo Of two years in the
Utah Ponitentiary; aad further that it is
tho purpose of this Government to prose-
cute every person in tho Territory against
whom evidence can bo obtained of violation
of this law
Our ministers are instructed to lay a
copy Of tho letter before tho governments
to which thoy arc accredited without delay,

and to represent in the most friendly man
ner to these governments that 1t would
therefore be an act of justice toward their
SUBJECTS If the latter could bo disuadcd
from accepting the Inducements hold out
by the missionary agents Of the Mormon,
Church to settle in Utah.
Reference Is next made to existing obll.-
cations oh the part Of the governments OF
these countries not to allow persons to
depart froih their Jurisdiction for the United
States #ho are knowt to have criminal in
tcntiono, and further explaining that all
who como to this country for the purpose
of affiIiatihg with tho Mormon Church do
so with tho avcwcd intention Of becoming
criminals aud subjecting themselves to the
penalties of tho criminal laws. Therefore
tho United States will consider it friendly
act on the part of the governments of these
nations if they will also regard the matter
in this light. Attention is called to the
large number of women who are induced to
become emigrants, and who therefore aid
and abct the orime of bigamy, and to tho
principles Of the Mormon Church, which
requires plurality of wives. Our minis
ters orc instructed to call upon our consuls
in these countries without delay to assist
them in gaining information as to the mans
ner in which the ranks of tho Mormon
Church arc recruited, and to forward the
Information as speedily as possible to Wash.
ington.
A member of the Cabinet said to,nig hit
that the administration did not now CON
slider Mormon cmigrants as any more enti--
tied to respect than 80 many persons who
had been convicted Of felony, aud that tho
purpose of sending the letter is to caution
tho people of the countries where this class
of emigrants is mostly made up, aud to
warn them what they may expect if they
60 to Utah.
''lf this friendly request of the Govern
meht 10 disregarded, then" continued the
Cabinet officer, "we will be in position
where we can refuse them entrance into our
ports, and forbid vessels landing them. 1t
is hardly possible that our oonsuIs will not
bo able to ascertain every attempt nado to
ship this class of people to the United
States, and the Administration recognizes
tho responsibility of the duty which the
law imposes upon it to prevent lawless peo--
pie from landing on our territory"

ALL THE GEMS OF THE ORIENT.
This mineral is remarkable for the gems
which it carries. Col jerks says that in
this Blue Ridge mine thcro have been
found the oriental sapphire, ruby, astoria,
emerald, topaz, amethyst, giraaaI, chatayant,
and white or colorlees sapphire, this last
often used in place Of the diamond.
"1Icre," said the colonel, taking lump
of mineral as big as ono's fist from his table,
"hcre is embedded ruby, aud at
the othet end is a sapp;lire. If these could
be got out perfect, they would bo worth a
good sum Of money" The corundum eme

This will be memorable day in the

A PEERLESS ADVENTURE.
THE RENOWNED SAM PATCH OUT
DONE.
A Young Canadian Accomplishes the Un-
precedented Feat of LeaPng from
the Suspension Bridge at Nj
agara and Comes Out
All Right.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 22.-This alter
noon II. p. Peere, OF Teeterville, Ont,
accomplished the unprecedented feat OF
leaping from the new suspension bridge,
at Niagara Falls, into the seething wa
ters OF Niagara river, and coming out
safe and sound. The distance jumped
was 1872 feet, and eclipses the renowned
leap OF Sam Patch in 1929, who jumped
l42 feet.
Peere's dress was composed OF merino
hose and full suit of tights, and an in
fiated rubber lie preserver, funnel
shaped, of his own design and cOnstruc-
ton, which covered his hips and ex-
tended up TO his arm-pits. Cotton cloth
was tightly banded over the preserver
about the loins, and sponge protected
his mouth and nostrels. His ears were
stuffed with a sponge dampened with
spirits, and his thighs and feet were firmly
held By elastic bands. A leather brace
over the shoulders held a ring to which
was attached 1872 feet OF brass-wire cable
coiled upon reel, and unwOund by the
weight OF the daring jumpist. 1t also
served TO keep him in an upright posi-
ton without at all retarding his speed.
At 3:35 o'clock Peere stepped upon the
temporary platform, and was quite ner-
vous. He suspended himself by his
hands for a moment, and at signal let
90 and shot downward into the awful
abyss like an electric flash. Four sec
onds of terrible suspense ensued, when
he struck the water feet foremost and
disappeared. In a few seconds he came
TO the surface and began to swim AMID
the tumultuous cheering of the assem-
bled multitude. He was taken into a
boat and rowed ashore, and was found
to have sustained no injury. Peere will
repeat the dose on the Fourth of July.
