A Horrible outrage.

st. Louis, Jan. IA most diaboli-
cal outrage was perpetrated Monday
night, on the person of a young lady in
East st. Louis, who lives in this city
and is respectfully connected. She went
across the river on Monday to visit a
lady friend. In the evening brother
CT this friend, named Andy Gleeson,
invited the young to take walk. After
proceeding short distance, Gleeson took
his companion into restaurant, where
he prevailed upon her to take drink of
liquor, which was drugged. Gleeson
was then joined by two other young
men, James Harrigan and Will Hays,
and the three took the girl to a lonely
spot near an old rail mill, and while she
was almost unconscious, stripped
her nearly naked and violated her per-
son in a shocking manner. Harrigan
was arrested, and the police are on the
track of Gleeson and Hays.

Montreal, Jan. 12.-At the meeting

resolution was carried to the effect that
parliament should not ratify the Pacific

important amendments, especially
in those clauses which give the road
strict monopoly of the eastern carrying
trade of the northwest, for twenty
years. A resolution was carried setting
forth that neither the present nor the
prospective commercial condition of

and the traffic of the country requires.

Louisville, KY, Jan 12.-Gov. Muir
ray, of Utah, arrived and sums up the
Cannon matter by saying: Cannon is
not citizen and is ineligible to any of
lice. His parents were foreign, his
country is foreign and he has never been
recognized as citizen of the United
States. There is no court record of his
naturalization and consequently could
not give him a certificate. Added to
this was the aggravatlon of his being a
Mormon polygamist, which makes him
fclon and criminal against the laws
of the nation. don't see how I could
have done otherwise. wish it dis
tinctly understood, however, that there
is not the slightest bit of politics in the
matter. 1t is not political question
but simply u question of right and
wrong. To show the sense of congress
on the matter, Cannon took his seat be-
fore they admitted him, but soon after
wards they passed resolution provid-
ing that the members of the territories
be qualified by the same rule that ap-
piled to the states, viz: That he be a
citizen of the United States for seven
years and be over twenty-five years of
age. The resolution went on to say:
