authority for the statement that the be-

the Mormon leader, that in point OF fact
1t bore but slight resemblance to Brig
ham Young. The man who makes these
statements is Mormon, but not po-
| lygamist. He says he has often heard
Brigham Young predict that he would
/ be resurrected from the dead, and his
/ theory is that when the crisis arrives In
| the affairs of the MOrmon9 the resurrec-
tion dodge will be played upon the
| ignorant, superstitiOus and fanatical
people who compose the Mormon church,
as a means of cementing them firmly to-
Rether to fight in maintenance OF their
principles and faith.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-About the
most difficult document to obtain in
Washington is the report and testimony
on Sherman's expenditure Of the Treas
ury contingent fund. For this there
are two reasons. The first is, Sherman
is gathering up all he can to suppress
them; the second is, that the people in
general are asking for as many as they
can get. The original issue was not
tenth enough to supply the popular de-
mand. "Who call for themp" TO this
the Senate Document Clerk said: Every
body, and Sherman in particular :"
Nearly everybody who keeps watch OF
men and things wants a copy to lay aside
as valuable chapter in nlJOhn Sherman's
