SHANGHAI, March 6. = Foreigners at
Ningpo are exceedingly nervous over
threats constantly made to massacre
them.
SUAK1M, March 6.-Troops are suffer-
ing greatly in this vicinity from great
scarcity of water.
Baron De Staal, Russian ambassador,
and Count Won Munster, ambassador
from Germany, had an interview this

BERLIN, March 6.-The Reichtag re-
jected the motion in favor OF establishing
bi-metallic standard of currency.
LONDON, March 6.-Society is exercised
over the suicide of young Englishman
recently married, and who lately lost

Granville delivered long speech In
the House of Lords this evening about the
Bismarck controversy. He said that now,
more than ever before, the interests OF
Germany and England required that the
relations between the two governments
should be good, because this was time
when both powers are about to meet each
other in all parts of the world.
Whilst each power will maintain its
rights, both ought to advance in their
common work, extending commerce and
civilization in a spirit of candid co-opera-
ton. All my efforts will be exerted in
favor of the conciliatory policy which Bis
marck sketched out" Granville denied
that he had published confidential COM
munications from Bismarck.

We alluded yesterday to the hopeless
task of attempting to reconcile the prac-
tice of polygamy as religious act with
the duties of a good citizen. Our law
makers are so careful in legislating upon
questions likely to conflict with religious
belief that we do not remember that in
this country there has ever before arisen
such an issue. Every citizen should con-
slider that if his act is in violation of law
it is reasonably to be presumed that his
practice is in the wrong. The difficulty
Mr.. A. B. Taylor found lay in the
fact that the defence of polygamy
produced no willing martyrs. The
truth has never failed to find men
willing to bear fine, imprisonment or
death in its vindication. Some good men
have thought their lives too valuable to
others to fall quiet victims to persecution,
but others again have thought truth best
established by the sacrifice of themselves
Polygamy has produced no martyrs, ex-
cept it be those mistaken women who
have gone to prison to protect cowardly
men they did not go for truths sake, but
for fellows unworthy to touch the hem of
their garments.

THERE is steady advance in the price
of wheat, caused by the conflicts on the
other side of the Atlantic, which gives
hope to Utah farmers. There is still a
moderate surplus of grain in this Terri
tory, which must be worked off before
decent prices will prevail. Undoubtedly
farmers will this season largely reduce the
acreage of wheat, and devote their lands
to more profitable crops.

Tus newspaper meets one trifiing dlt-
ficulty, arising from thoughtlessness
which every journal has to bear. We
refer to the practice of sending anony-
,nous communications. If the letter is
itself worthless, it makes no difference
whether name is attached or not, but If
# is full of good, sharp points, like the
Provo note received this morning Ito
which no name was appended, we much
rooret the omission, as we thereby lose
+he ,,se of the article. The editor must
invariablv be in possession of the cores
pondent's name.

AN advertisement appears in an Ogden
paper. concerning the appearance OF a
new city directory. A good and reliable
directory is as convenient to have around
as pocket-knife or a good appetite; but
such directories as we have had were In
many respects SO inaccurate as to to be a
snare and torment. Let Ogden place
its new directory man under bonds to be
accurate, or suppress him altogether.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The first
official act of President Cleveland was the
nomination of his Cabinet his second to
offer his signature to the commission of
q. S. Grant as an officer on the retired
list of the army with the rank of general.
The crowd of callers at the White House
to-day is even larger than yesterday.
They began to arrive before the doors
opened and continued coming in large
numbers all day. The President received
some of them in the library and others in
the East room just as it happened to be
convenient.
This arrangement kept him busy run
ming up and down stairs. The majority
of the callers consisted of delegations
from different States.
The President to-day accepted the res
ignation of Mr.. Arthur's cabinet, and
signed the commissions of the new cab
met officers. They will probably enter
upon the discharge of their duties to-
morrow.
All the Cabinet nominations were con-
firmed without debate or division, and by
a unanimous vote of the senate. No
other business was done. A lively de-
bate was looked for when Senator Van
Wyck's backbone" resolution was
reached for discussion and action. Senator
Teller feels that an attack has been made
upon his own official action as a member
of the last administration; and has de-
clared his intention of making such de-
tense as will leave no doubt of the pro-
priety of the act in question, or of his in
dignation.

HANDSOME WORK.

A sample of What wheeling Can Do When
She Tries.
A striking example of what Wheeling
manufacturers "a do when once the effort
IS made is offered in the furnishing of the
steamboat I. P. feathers, recently com
pleted at this port. The contract for fur
nishing was given to the well known firm
Of G.. Mendel & Co., and the result of the
Efforts OF this house stamps it as one OF the
best in the West. The firm fitted up the
boat throughout and every article supplied
vas of the very best material and workman.
ship, and designed with the characteristic
good taste for which the house is noted.
while the workmanship vas of the very finest
quality.
1t was the aim of Captain feathers to
have the boat q model in all respects, and
to this end he gave the contracts for the
various portions of hull, machinery, super
structure and furnishing to the very bes,
firms in this part of the country. As 9
matter Of course, G. Mendel 4 Co., werS
called on to do the last named work, and
they fulfilled the contract in a manner
which adds greatly to their already ervisble
reputation.
The floor of the captains private parlor
and cabin are covered With a Wilton velvet
carpet of rich design and tasteful pattern,
giving to the apartments an added grace
and beauty. The covering of the state
room floors is of body brussels of the best
quality, while the halls are covered with
inolegm.
So much for the carpets. The furniture
was in entire keeping with them. Z sch
article was expressly designed and manu-
factured for the boat, the material used
being American mahogany. Tetes, chairs
and sofas were upholstered in Rus
sian leather, and were OF the latest aud
most approved designs. On each article
the name of IT. P. Leathers' wa carved
in raised ornamental letters, and the work
msnship throughout was Of the best. II
addition to the articles enumerated, the irp
also furnished dressing cases, wsshstsnds
mattresses and bedding for the various state
rooms and officers quarters, and this par
of the contract vas Of equal merit With the
rest.
Captain feathers was more than p'eased
with the result of G. Mendel & Co.'s work
and says no firm in the country could have
better performed the contract given them.
1t is q Source of pride to our city that we
have in cur midst q house capable Of such
splendid things, and able to compete with
larger and more pretentious cities in this
regard.

Feeders WIN Go In.

In he Nail. sftuation-A Rumor Inss tne
Feeders win Go In.
Eothirp new turned up yesterday. in nail
circles except the fact that the nail
feeders held q meeting in the afternoon.
The object of the meeting was no doubt 10
take action in respect to going to work next
Monday. Al is asserted that the meeting was
eomnosed almost entirely of those Who de-
sir.d TO go to work, as q majority. OF tne
feeders have expressed Q DETERMINATION not
10 20 in. However, there is enough still In
favor of the move to gil several factories,
and it is probable that on Monday next,
several al least, will start up.
Down at Bellaire the nail feeders all went
10 work Yesterday morning, and for o time
nearly all of the one hundred and twenty
four nail machines were in operation. This
did not last more than about an hour, hos..
ever, until the boys hung up their rods and
Quit because two or three boys who had
been taken in while they were out on .
strike were not made to leave the factory.
Two or three feeders were seen, and they
said they were ready to continue WORK, but
they had been given to understand that the
lew feeders put on in their places had TO
GO. and instead they were given other Jobs
The nsilers and q few feeders continued at
work .
The manufacturers had nothing to say in
regard to the matter yesterday except that
at the pailers price of twentyone cents per
beg they could positively not compete with
Eastern manufacturers, who were o. this
time selling their nails delivered in Chicago
and Detroit, at 50 per keg. That If they
could not make nails low enough to com
pete with these prices the mills would not
run and that was the end Of il. Nothing
could be learned positively as to when the
factories would be opened to the feeders,
but men were at work yesterday, it is said,
getting things in shape at the Belmont. A
few DAYS will yield something more definite.
