copy made out aud handed 70 Hazen was the
one returned to the witness. The original
witness supposed, had gone to the secretary
of the navy. The witness has never since
seen it.
He was informed by Hazen about the 9th
or 7th Of June, that he had given the memoir
andum TO the secretary of the navy and that
a plan Of the movements of the lantlc would
be or had been made conformaole to that
paper.

the result of a clerical error.
He said the s. cretarv called his attention to

compass. Lieut.. Garlington's boats. which
were procured at New York, were not properly
fitted up. The rigging was defective. None
of the masts were fitted. The oar locks for
the steering were placed SO far forward
as u make the oar of no use.

an Unknown Person.

PORTSMOUTH. y. H., Nov. lG.
In the inquest in the Barrows case at hit

rows was murdered by an unknown person.
Six pistol ball wounds were found on the
body. Three balls entered the left hip in
the rear. two traversing downward at an
angle IF % degrees and one upwards at an
angle of 4j. In the wound on the left arm
the ball passed through oblquely from the
outside. A ball went through the calf of the
left leg and the fatal wound was found in the
left SIDE of the head. The clothing was not
scorched The conclusion is that the pistol
was fired from a distance as it would be im-
possible from the situation of the wounds for
Barrows to DO the act. Barrows' wife at the
inquest displayed venomous hatrd of the de-

Monitor MOnadnOck Seized in Vallejo.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 16.
The facts of singular seizure are just
made public. Commander Russell, under or
ders from the navy department, seized the
monitor Monadnock. which was being con-
structed at Vallejo. and removed to the May
yard. The navy department made contracts
for the construction of the vessel with Phin-
cas- Burgess at New York. Each contract
was tor separate work. The last contrac. of
$4,000 was for the completion and equip
ment for one years sea service. Secretary
Thompson annulled it, and it was not re-
newed by his successor. Under the second
contract, Burgess holds approved claims
against the government for S2I2 900. His
representatives were holding the ship against
the claims, and with the expectation that
they would be allowed to 6le final account
when the vessel was seized and carried off.
No reason has been assigned for the seizure

THE MORMONS.
Secret Societies Organized to Battle
With POlygamv.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 6.
The organization of secret anti-polygsmy
societies ha. caused the Deseret News, the
Mormon church organ, to say that the strength
of feeling inspiring those who have entered
upon the work of darkness is measureably
indicated BY the readiness with which they
subscribe funds for the accomplishment Of
their purpose. Ten thousand dollars is a
considerable sum with which to begin opera
tons. The important vital character OF the
church Of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints
is almost demolished by the widespread and
comprehensive opposition to it.
This is making a special and unjust dis
eliminating legislation. Schools, churches,
and political and other organizations are all
aiming their shafts at the Mormons with VIM
dictive thrusts and deadly purposes. The
warfare has been both open and secret, but it
appears to stab in the back modus operandi,
and is likely to be largely in preponderance,
Judging from the initiatory underground Or
ganization established at Cleveland.

MANITOBAN FARMERS.
Strong Handed Organizations Against
Oppression.

WINNEPEG, Nov. 16.
1t is understood that the committee on the
platform appointed by the association formed
here, to take steps redressng the grievances
endured by Manitoba at the hands of the do
minion, will report resolutions demanding
the removal of the monopoly provision of the
Pacific Railway charter, greater encourage
ment to settlers by opening land reserves,
and the removal of duties upon farm imple-
ments.
The feeling of farmers is becoming inten +.
sifed at the oppressive transportation rates
imposed on grain, and the favoritsm be-
lieved to be shown to one strong milling firm.
A meeting is being held in Southern Mani
toba, which will send circumstances to OF
tawa against these injustices. Farmers are
organizing everywhere.

The change of standard time will take

The change of standard time will take
The time to be adopted from the Atlantic
to the Mississippi will be that OF the 75ti
meridian, which is near Philadelphia.
This change will be only n part of the
change over the entire country. The
whole system divides the country into
four belts. and each will be governed by
the time of the merdians passing, or near
ly so. through Philadelphia. st. Louis.
Denver and Carson City. So that when
the signals from Washington are received
ut points where the time of the St. Louis
meridian is used they will mean II
o'clock instead of IL. From present in
dications this new time will be gen
orally adopted. The railroads have
taken the lead, and have been fol
lowed, with but few exceptions. by the
cities and towns all through the country.
The Mayor of Bangor has promulgated
his veto of the proposed change in that
city, but this appears to be the only in
stance of the kind yet known. More Sc
rious opposition than this is found in the
objection of the Illinois Central Railroad
company to the adoption of the new stan
dard. and that of the Attorney General OF
the United States. The action of the
Illinois Central is understood to be on ac-
count Of threatened confusion in suburban
business, an objection which will probably
disappear gradually and certainly after
the new system goes into effect
The difficulty at Washington is legal
one. The Attorney-General holds that
Congress has fixed the hours Of labor in
the departments by the time of the Wash
ton meridian, and that for the heads of
departments to alter the standard would
be to usurp the functions of Congress.
The difference is eight minutes. As Con
gress will soon meet this little difference
can soon be adjusted. Clocks. watches.

to the new order of things. but we are

DARK UTTERANCES.
The Nililistic Paper Breathes- Out
Threaieninss and Slaughter.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. l6.
The Will of the People, the Nihilist organ
Of Nov. 9TH, states that sentence of death
which was passed by the Nihillst central
committee on an informer was carried out in
October. 1t says their party has lost many
valuable members recently, but that the gaps
are being rapidly filed. More blood will
flow, the responsibility of which will
fall not only upon the senseless government,
but upon those who knowing the pressing
needs Of the country will sit still and do
nothing. The paper contains two letters
from convicts in Siberia which give horrible
details of the savage treatment received by
prisoners there at the hands of Russian
officials.
