brother, who was present, and my trainer,
Sherrard, cabled me Saturday about the re-
suit of the private trial. They said the colt
was il perfect condition. On this did not

worry me- only wagered small amount
just enough to make it interesting. There is
nothing that will take young men away from
gambling tables quicker than the legitimate
running of horses.

"No, | cannot say / have. l want to

Before the reporter retired Keene said he
intended to send over batch of youngsters
which he purchased in Kentucky. as one
horse in fifteen generally proves good. He
would not be content until he won Derby,
and intends to wait patiently for that honor.

Campbell W.. Cannon.
NEw YoRK, June 13th.-The Fe7,ulds
Washington special says; There is promise
of an interesting fight in the contest between
Cannon, the Mormon polygamist, and Camp
bell, the anti-Mormon, for the position of
Delegate to Congress from Utah. The initial
proceedings are in the nature Of suit in the
Courts of Utah by Campbell to srnul Can
mons alleged certificate OF naturalization.
Campbell is O man of ample means, snd Can
non Is backed by the whole power and wealth
of the Mormon Church. Campbeh's friends
present his case in this light: They admit
that Cannon received large majority of the
votes cast, but they alleSe that many of these
votes were given by aliens and girls under
age, claiming, under the laws of Utah, o
right to vote as the daughters or sisters of
Mormon citizens. Campbell alleges that the
proof adduced before the Governor, of Can
non being an alien, was overwhelming.
They also state that the Governor, as the
returning officer of the Territory, has con-
ferred upon him by the laws powers
other than merely ministerial, and that
his action in giving the certificate to
Campbell, in the face of the facts proved
before him, was in the strict line of his
Executive duty. They state further that
Cannon himself brought the legality OF the
Governors action to q test IN the Courts by
bringing an action of mandamus in the
United States Court of The Territory, and
that after elaborate arguments by able law
yers the Court sustained the legality of the
Governors action on the facts as proven.
friends claim that the course of
the Clerk of the House of Representatives in
ignoring the certificate OF the Governor In
favor of Campbell, and placing upon the rolls
Cannon, to whom a certificate had been de-
MED both by the Executive and the Courts.
was great stretch of power, and that the
utmost he could probably have done would
have been TO have left the question to the de-
cision of Congress, which would then have
brought up the whole Mormon question in
such shape as would have necessitated some,
decisive action. Campbell's certificate was
brought on here by his attorney, j. III. Me-
Bride, of Salt Lake City, in February last,
aud fled by him in person in the Clerks
Office in the presence of witnesses. Camp
bell states emphatically that he personally
waited on the Clerk in the following month
and asked if his name had been put upon the
rolls, and Adams told him it had not been.
Adams denies this statement. The question
is likely to be prominent in the next session
of Congress.
winfry Weather and Its Effect upon
Cattle.
ST. PAUL, June 13th.-Nathan p. Lang
IL SE.G, IL H., No,
arrived home from his official trip through
Colorado, New Mexico, California, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washington Terri
tory and Montana. He brings some interest
ing information about cattle ranchmen. He
said the principal cattle men in Washington
TIE. ritory along the Columbil river say that
so per cent of the cattle died during the
winter. In Montana the less has been COM
paratively light. There were las. fall good
many herds driven over into Montana, OEe-
gen and Washington Territory, and Ct course,
after making the long journey. they were not
as full feshed as those that had been in Mon
tana. The winter was severe on thoss unac-
climated herds, and the loss was about 10 per
cent. The loss in acclimated herds ithose
which had been in Montana two or three
winters), was only about per cent. The
total loss Of cattle in Montana has not been
one third of what cattle men apprehended it
would be on the 1st of last February. Mr..
Langford talked with q number of cattle
men, each of whom told of the number they
mad lost in specific herds, and said the aver
age of their losses would be the average loss
throughout the Territory. He says in fact
the stock withstood the rigor of the hardest
winter that has been known in Montana since
it was organized as q Territory in 1861, and
shows that it is bound to become the great
region of the country. The
sheep losses have been about one-third, on ac-
count of the deep snow.
