WASHINGTON, March 11.-Francis o. ST,
Clair, chief clerk of the Consular Bureau,
State Department, testified that he would
recognize the right of the chief clerk or Sec
rotary to withdraw any papers from his Gus

that Prescott was assigned the duty of pre-

fair. He had room In the Department, but

Forcing the Poiygamy and Chinese

Forcing the Poiygamy and Chinese
Bills.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The House by
unanimous consent has ordered that the
legislative day of Monday be extended until
the anti-polygamy bill Is disposed of, but
that 1t shall be open for comment and
amendment for one hour; that the previous
question shall be considered. Ordered: that
another hour shall then be allowed for de-
bate, and that the final vote shall then be
taken OIL the bill and any pending amend
ment.
The Chinese bill must, therefore, be ex-
pected to come up between 2 and O'Clock.
AT 3:35 Page obtained unanimous consent
TO dispense with the morning hour, and then
asked unanimous consent that the Senate
Chinese bill be taken from the Speakers
table and substituted for the House bill.
Rice, of Massachusetts,, objected, but on
being informed by Page that the bills were
substantially similar, he withdrew his OBJ
lection and the desired substitution was
made.
The Senate bill was then read In full. At
the conclusion Of the reading of the bill,
Page stated that he would prefer to speak to-
morrow, and would therefore yield to
Calkins, Of Indiana. who thereupon took the
floor In advocacy of the bill. He closed with
an eloquent appeal for the protection of
American labor from the blighting effects of
unrestricted Chinese immigration, and the
House at five o'clock adjourned until to-
morrow.

A SAD STRIFE.
The Scandal Of the Rosecrans- Garfield Mat
ter.

CHICAGO, March I0.-The Times WASH
ington special says: Some time during the
last campaign paragraph was published in
which it was said that Garfield had, during
the war, preferred charges Of a serious char
acter against his old commander, General
Rosecrans. Charles A. Dana made the
original charge, and this brought out note
from General Garfield to Rosecrans, in
which he distinctly said he had never been
untrue to his commander in word or thought,
Dana or any other liar 10 the contrary. Mr..
Dana, to sustain the original statement, has
printed q confidential letter from Garfield
addressed to Salmon p Chase during the
war. This letter, If genuine, gives the d.
rect lie to Garfield, and for that reason has
attracted much attention here, as 1t shows
him In the light of false friend. 1t is said
Fitz-John Porter IN partially responsible for
the publication Of this letter. II has irri-
tated General Rosecrans, who is member
of this Congress. He says that If he had
known of the letter ut the time he would
have had General Garfield court martialed.
lie calls the letter compound of exaggera-
tions and untruths, and In direct conflict
with everything ever said TO him when Gen.
Garfield was member of his staff.
In this connection the Epenjng Critic
prints the following: A well-founded story
has been current for some days that In 1903,
shortly after General Rosecrans had been
removed, the late Francis p. Blair, Sr., gave
dinner In Washington to his son, Frank P.
Blair, then just returned from the victorious
field of yicksburg, Of which were present,
among others. the Hon. Montgomery Blair
and General Garfield, then Just elected to
Congress. At this dinner the subject of
General Rosecrans' removal was freely dis
cussed, and there was general expression
OF opinion that his removal was great mis-
take. by no one was this expression more
forcibly stated than by General Garfield,
who was loud In his praises of him as mil
itary genius and an able General. Mont
gomery Blairwas 50 much impressed by Gar
fields statements that he went to President
Lincoln and used about the following argu-
ment: "Mr. President, do not want to seem
ofIicious, but was so forcibly impressed by
a conversation l had last evening with
young Member Of Congress from Ohio, who,
previous to bis election, was General Rose |
crans' chief Of staff that have come to you |
as matter of duty TO say that think Gen. |
Rosecrans' removal was grave mistake.

Bosros Advertiser: Politically, a lively
time ID promised In Georgia the present year.
The "liberal" movement, so called, starts
out boldly and coniidently-it may be said
aggressively. The platform Is political Mo-
saic--a compound Of recognized Republican
and Greenback national principles-with re-
formatory State legislation added. At pres
ent there seems to be no real, though there
may be tacit, concert of action between
this movement and one Of the old par
ties. As IL declared war against Bourbon
ism, the Republicans must sympathize and
may cooperate with It. General L. ].
Gartrell, once Wing member Of Congress
from Georgia, Is the most prominent of the
gubernatorial candidates opposed to the
Bourbon Democracy.

SOME Of our farmers got picked up last
year by sharp practice agents In dry goods,
etc; and many other swindles are perpe-
trated on the grangers in the States by OBJ
tanning notes by sharp practice and dispos-

them. A new deal in this line Is being given

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
Fifty Thousand People Homeless and De-

ST. Louis. March 14.-General Beckwith,
OF the Commissary Department, who has
charge of the distribution of Government
rations from this city to The flooded districts
on the Lower Mississippi river, has received
the following dispatch from J. S. Lord, dated
Memphis
"Jnst arrived here. Found Prenicott
county, Mo-, in distressing condition, being
almost entirely submerged, and about 1000
persons entirely destitute. The supplies at
Gayoso are being carefully distributed and
will last until about March 18th. More
should be sent there. People will be IN jus,
as bad condition when the water goes down.
The Government, TO prevent starvation,
should care for them al least until May LIST.
About fifty people are destitute at Hathaway,
Tenn, $50 at Tiptonville, 200 at Haler Point
In Tenn, $50 at Bayfield, Point and $50 In
the vicinity of Osceola, Ark. At Osceola
some scores have been relieved, but insult

To take charge of the little steamer Anita
which left here yesterday and proceeded al
once to pick up parties of destitute people ID

fort and health.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Senate-Har-
rison, from the Military Committee reported
as to an inquiry about the overflow sufferers
that the Secretary of War thought fifty thou
sand people had been driven from their
homes. II seemed probable they must be
assisted for sixty days to come. The CON-
mittee prefer not To recommend a conlinu-
ance of relief until these people again be-
come self-sustaining, but leave that to the
people of the country. The committee re-
ported an appropriation of Sl00, 900 addition

PROTECTION TO LABoRERs.

The letter Of our Philipsburg correspon-
dent discioses TO some extent disaster To
that campfire closing Of the Algonquin
works. We are advised the pumps have
been ordered taken out and the mill placed
In charge of Waterman; also that valuable
supplies, the mill, pumps, and plant gener-
ally, are mortgaged to foreign creditors for
an amount exceeding 100000. 1t Is also
stated that the company owes an amount
estimated at $4,000 and upward to laborers
and Others In the camp. Some of these
creditors have brought suit and attached un-
encountered personal property for their
claims; Others relying on the promise Of the
superintendent, Mr.. Pardee, have not taken
action, and we learn recent advices assure
them the debts Of the company will be paid.
The circumstance suggests 10 US, however,
that there should be some better protection
for laborers than now exists. Those OF
Philipsburg have suffered repeatedly and
very severely from failures In mining opera
tions. The Legislature enacted what Is
known as the "Unlawfui Interference Act"
giving property owners all the protection
they could ask from strikers or agitators. 1t
Is very stringent law, yet 1t harms no man
who pursues his avocation peacefully or
peacefully quits. But these he must do.
Whatever wrongs he may have endured he
must submit TO. His employer may have
failed TO pay him for months of labor, DUR
ing which time the laborer and his family
may have bought their food and raiment on
credit, and will be holden for the same. II
the employer has disposed of his property
the laborer has no redress, aud almost any
thing he may do in the attempt to secure
himself is liable to subject him to prosecu.
ton for felony. IL looks to us that this con.
dition Of things Is not equitable. 1t Is rich
men who niue and mill; it is poor men who
labor in the enterprise. If the former lose
In the speculation they can afford it--or at
least no man shonld invest In mining CON-
pauies more money than he can afford to
lose. If the latter lose, 1t is the pttance
earned by hard manual labor, and perhaps
throws him upon the world penniless and In
debt. Very many laboring men, too, have
families dependent upon them, and in such
case the grievance Is greater.
We believe, therefore, that to be reciprocal
in the protection of rights, the laws should
be amended to make the wages of laborers
continuous lien on the property on which
their labor is expended, or on any property
Of a corporation, having precedence over all
other liens or encumbrances without record.
This would work no hardship to solvent and
honest companies any more than the Unlaw-
full Interference Act does to we'll disposed
workmen, and it would place the industries
and labor of The Territory on better basis.

THE San Francisco Chronicle Of March
9th makes the following statement, to which
doubtless the Salt Lake Tribune will give
adequate attention: "After all the excite
ment about the Mormon question there
seems 10 be no prospect of legislation.
Judging from the apathy of Congress In this
matter on previous occasions, the Mormons
have good grounds for boastlng that they
will not be disturbed. The present effort
seems to have spent itself mainly In varie-
gated rhetoric and tnrgid resolutions. If
there was any virtue In the leading Gentiles
In Salt Lake there might be some hope for
successful refsrm Of the evils of polygamy,
but n Is question with them, not Of public
morality and the COED Of the country, but of

THE belief is gaining ground that Senator
Edmunds may yet accept the appointment
Of Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court.
The President Is very DESTROYS that be
should, and other Judges have volunteered
TO perform his judicial duties until such
time as he can finish up business that would
conflict. While there Is no question of Ed
munds' capability and fitness for the posi-
ton, we think II were better he should re-
main where he is--in the Senate. He Is
needed there, and cannot be replaced, while
there are many jurists who would grace the
Supreme Bench.

THE Rev. Mr.. Min, who stepped down
and out Of his pulpit in Chicago, lectured
recently In New York before the Society of
Ethical Culture. He ascribes the loss Of
faith In Christianity to the influence of Her.
bert spencer's logic. He voluntarily gave
up a salary Of $4,000 a year because he
thought he could not consistently preach to
his congregation when he had lost faith In
the beliefs which they cherished. 1t Is
probable that he will start a branch of the
Society of Ethical Culture In Chicago, and
preach the doctrine of agnosticism.

BOISE Statesman: George @. Cannon's
first and legal wife and the mother of his
. eleven children, when she lay dying two
weeks ago, autographed him not TO come TO
her, as she had no desire to see him before
she died. In the closing years of her sad
life she was compelled to share her husband
with three young women, who also claimed
to be his wives. While she lay dead and yet
unburied, Cannon left Washington ON a
pleasure trip to New York city, accompanied
by one Of the women who had contributed
TO make the last days Of his dead wife un-
happy.
