ent law for the suppression of Polygamy.
One OF these bills proposes to abolish
woman suffrage in Utah, and another to
allow the first wife of an alleged polyga-
mist to testify regarding the number of
his wives. Judge Jere Black of Pennsyl-
vania, ex-Delegate Cannon and Delegate
Game are opposing before the Judiciary
Committee favorable action upon these
measures. Judge Black will tomorrow
complete an exhaustive argument, begun
by him several days ago, against the power
Of Congress to enact the proposed laws.

Congress has no right to regulate the in
ternal affairs Of a Territory where the laws,
not in contravention Of the Constitution,
are enacted for local self~-government. The
committee is expected to report a new anti
polygamy bill as a substitute for those
pending before it.

determination to go in at all hazards. II
