CANN0N'S SAY.
What the Mormons Dis
mounted Gun Offers.
The Polygamis!s a Poor and Much
Abused People.
The Polygamists a Poor and Much
What they Propose to Dc and When
to Do 1t.


New York, June 12.-The Tribune
says: George Q. Cannon, ex-delegate
to congress from Utah, arrived here on
Saturday on a brief business visit. To
a reporter Cannon said, yesterday:
There is nothing new regarding the
Utah situation. Before any action is
taken on the part of the mormons we
will wait for the appointment by the
president of the commission which, I'M
der the anti-polygamy bill recently
passed, is to supervise elections in Utah.
The m consider hat the bill
is an outrage. 1t virtually vacates all
the present offices in the territory, and
prohibits polygamists from holding any
office, or from exercising the elective
franchise. 1t makes polygamy a con-
tinuous offense. Now, with the spirit
that has been aroused in Utah by agita-
ton on the subject, 1t might easily be
held unlawful for the mormons to even
care for the women with whom they
may cease to hold marital relations.
The bill makes no provision for them.
That shows that congress had conf
dence in the honor of Utah men. Just
imagine a similar state of affairs in this
or any other city where polygamy
might be supported from licentious mo-
tives. Why, the bill would be immedi-
ately taken advantage of by men to re-
pudiate the responsibility of caring for
the women they had been living with.
The men of Utah will do nothing of
that sort The sentiment: against the
mormons has been manufactured by
designing men, for the purpose of rob
berry.
Utah has no debt, and the communi-
ty is relatively more prosperous than
any other in the country. Its prosperi-
ty has united greedy politicians against
it, of whom there are many on the
frontier. That such is the origin of
the recent legislation is proven by the
fact that after these men gained their
point the agitation died out. The law
will not do the mormons any harm. 1t
has already brought out three excellent
publications by Gentiles, wherein the
rights of the mormons are maintained.
To suppose that it will crush out NOR
monism as a religious faith is to expect
the contradiction of all the lessons Of
history. Only when carried to eXter-
mination does persecution injure the
religion. But the law will injure the
marital interests of the territory.
Capital is easily alarmed, and values
have already ,been unsettled in Utah.
This has injured the Gentiles princi-
pally, for the mormons have little to do
with speculation. Except for the pecu-
liar character of the mormon people the
community would have been completely
Frustrated by the agitation that has
been aroused and carried on recently.
Cannon will go back to Washington
to look after the interests of Utah in
congress and public departments.

Washington, June 12.-We have been
in receipt of letters for the past few days
from prominent democrats in their re-
spective states conveying alarming in
telligence of the great distrust which
exists in the democratic party of the
south respecting the fall elections. The
impression that they stated seemed to
prevail among the democrats that the
coalitions fostered by the administra-
tion in the southern states would carry
everything before them. The demo-
Gratis, they said, are becoming dis

CHEAP POSTAGE.
Inspirations of a Post Office
Surplus.
Letter Postage Probably to Be Re-
duced to Two Cents.
A Secret Message Card for a Gent, One
OF the Suggestions.
Cheap Postage.

Washington, June l2.-The post
office officials say. the surplus of receipts
over expenditures for the past year will
foot up in the vicinity of one million
dollars. This fact is expected to prove
a fruitful cause for many debatable
propositions in Congress when it be-
comes known at the end of this month
just what a saving has been made.
There is a large party in congress who
argue that the department has no right
to be self sustaining, or, at least, be
made the source of revenue to the gov
eminent. In anticipation of the fact
that years of operation will disclose a
margin of receipts yer expenditures, a
number of bills are pending looking to
the reduction of the cost of postage to
the public. One or two reduce the
postage on letters to two cents, abolish
postage on second class matter and in
troduce a secret message card which
would take the place of short letters
and cost one cent. The postmaster
general is understood to be favorable to
some kind of reduction, but is opposed
by many of the other officials of the de-
partment. Senator Ferry has reported
what appears TO be the most practical
measure for public convenience. 1t
authorizes. the department to use the
secret message card. This Is merely
a postal card with a flap gummed along
the edges to be sealed like an ordinary
envelope to cover the message. The
card is to cost no more than the one
now in use, to weigh no more, but
could be used for all private business as
safely as a letter. The bill is on the
senate calendar. AS Congressman are
getting in a hurry to go home, 1t is not
at all certain that anything will be
done this session.

London, June IA dispatch from
Alexandria says: The British consul
who was wounded on the head with a
blugeon is progressing f~avorably. The
mob sacked the shops of the Europeans.
Egyptian troops occupy the chief points
in the city.
London, June H. The admiralty
have received dispatches confirming the
report of the murder of the engineer of
the ''superb." The fighting at Alex
andria, except the deliberate attack
upon the consuls when proceeding to
the residence of the governor, seems to
have been confined to the Arabs and
Levantines. No English residents are
reported wounded.
The Times correspondent at Cairo
lays the responsibility for the riots upon
Arab Pasha. Alervischa Pacha had
summoned him to resign, and there
seemed no alternative but submission
or defiance; but since the riots broke
out Dervischr. has had to appeal to
Arab Pacha, as commanding the only
available force, to restore order.
Cairo, June 12.-The following report
of the riot has been received from
Alexandria: Cookson, of the English
consul, says that when he was proceed
ing from Great Square to the governors
residence, he saw two Europeans re-
specially dressed, and apparently naval
officers in plain clothes, knocked
down by a Greek and shot and killed
by a soldier five yards from Cook
sons carriage, and others even closer
were knocked down and stabbed. A
soldier cut at Consul Kavoss with a
sword. The carriage of the Greek
counsel was stopped by a number of
soldiers and the occupants dragged out.
The counsel was severely beaten, but
escaped severe maltreatment by the
coachman lashing the horse, but he was
struck on the head and one of his arms
broken. The Grecian consul was
wounded by a stone. The wife of the
Austrian consul general was attacked
and insulted. There are no accounts of
the origin of the riot.
Alexandria, June l2.-The report OF
the murder of the engineer of the
British man of war Superb, is not gen
orally credited. The patrols on the
streets have been doubled.
Cairo, June 12.-At a meeting of the
military leaders it was decided tC
petition the khedive to abdicate, and
it was declared that if he did not be
would be massacred. 1t is rumored
that the cavalry and artillery will not
join any conspiracy against the khedive.
London, June IA telegram pub,
lished here says the official report of the
riot in Alexandria gives the number of
Europeans killed at CT.
London, June u. Advices from Alex,
andria, says late last night disturbances
commenced at three different points.
The object of the rioters in a great
measure appears to have been pillage,
in which the Levantines as well as the
Arabs participated. A regiment OF
cavalry and a regiment of infantry were
ordered to reinforce the garrison.

LONDON, May 15.-Considerable division
of opinion exists among the Parnellite
members on the subject of the new coercion
bill, several being in favor of Withdrawing
from the Parliamentary discussion of the
measure altogether.
The Common Council TO day decided to
offer $500 reward for the conviction of the
persons guilty of placing the canister Of
powder on the railing of the Mansion House
last Friday night.
In the House Of Commons this afternoon,
Mr.. johnson, ATTORNEY General for Ireland,
announced that the sub Inspector, who was
iu command of the police when the crowd
was fired on at Ballina some days ago during
the rejoicing over the release OF the sus-
poets, has been relieved from duty.
Mr.; Parnell read a letter, which he wrote
to Mr.. O'Shea, Home Rule member for
| county Glare, before his release, which is to
the effect that reforms of the land act in
regard to arrears of rent, purchase and
leases are necessary, and that on the COM
pletion thereof the Land League would do
all that was possible to suppress outrages In
! Ireland.
Mr.. Forster asked that the whole letter be
read.
Mr.. O'shea then read paragraph omitted
| bv Mr.. Parnell, which stated that IL the re-
forms specified were made the Land League
| might act cordially with the Liberals in
| support of Liberal principles.
The reading was received with cheers
from the opposition benches.
The Central Ne,OS' Dublin dispatch says:
"The police have discovered that the car in
which the murderers escaped was hired by
strangers from a stable in the southern part
Of the city, and was returned about eight
O'Clock on the evening of the murder. They
hope to he able to trace the driver"
The text of the bill for the repression of
crime in Ireland is published. The alien
| clause contains provision that an alien ex-
press from Ireland may subsequently be ex-
PEELED from Great Britain.
The police OF Dublin have made no fur
ther progress towards the discovery OF the
| assassins. The report of the arrest of three
men at the hotel at Cork was untrue. Rush,
who 1t was said drove the car containing
| the murderers, is a car owner. He was
| questioned by the police as to whether any
cars are missing, but the inquiry was with

turned to the stable on the night of the
