NEw YoRE, May l3.-Between 10 and II
o'clock last night, a hyperdermic injection,
containing FIVE drops Of morphine, was sd-

air during his MONDAY ride was chill. His
throat had swollen httlS, and the pain was
so increased that the usual opiate did not
produce the usual result. The General

tinued TO do so with breaks of waketulness
until between 8 and o'clock this morning
At 9 o'clock he aroused and was dressed.
The increased swelling Of the throat is to,
day noticeable. and, in the words of Colonel

Their abiding faith in an ever ruling Prov
dence makes them confident OF the
Ultimate Triumph OF Their Cause.
They feel and know that their religion is of
God, and that the wicked and the ungodly
will strive against ii in vain.
We are not here, Mr.. President; to ask
fsvors at Jour hands. Those who sent us
ask but for simple Justice. They do not ask
You to stand between them and the law, but
they do insist that the laws ought to be ad-
ministered with equal exactness to al men,
regardless Of race, prejudices or religious
antipathies. They recognize the fact that il is
your duty to see that the laws enacted by
Congress are faithfully executed" but they
maintain that faithful execution" in this
instance means the perfect equality before
the law of Mormons and non-Mormons.
Therefore in their behalf we respectfully
ask that you will hear their protest, and
give heed 10 their request for fair and
impartial investigation Of "the Utah situa.
ton" This is
Their Protest;
1--WE protest against the unfair treatment
on the part of the general government.
We protest against 8 continuance of ter
ritorial bondage subversion of The rights Of

We protest against special Legislation, the
result Of popular prejudice and religious in

We protest against the conscience of one

We protest against the

disgrace their positions and use their off.
cial powers as means of oppression. We
protest against the partial administration of

empting from prosecution the votaries OF
lust and crime.
We protest against the breaking up Of
family relations formed previous to the pass.
age Of the Edmunds tsw and the depriving
of women and children Of support and pro-
lection of their husbands and fathers.
We protest against the prosecution of
persons, many of whom are aged and in
firm, who entered into the plural marriage
before it was declared crime and have
never violated any law.
We respectfully ask for the appointment
by the President of the commission to fairly
and thoroughly
Investigate the Utah Situation
and pending it's report we solemnly protest
against the continuance of this merciless
crusade.
In conclusion, Mr.. President, permit u.
10 express the belief that a fair and candid
investigation of the Mormon problem"
would disabuse the public mind and remove
much of the prejudice existing against US.
May we not, therefore, entertain the hope
that you will institute such an investigation
and thus open the door for the settlement
of this "vexed question:
