THE AVALANCHE VICTIMS.
The Brave Party Of Rescuers Return With
the Bodies of the Victims.
Snow Slidev of Daily Occurrence-Thirty
Persons Reported Killed

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 1S.-The relief
party sent to Alta to relieve the living and
bring back the dead who were killed in the
recent snowslide which overwhelmed that
town, returned early this morning. The re-
lieving party had n very trying experience.
Coming down the deep defles on the
mountain side, dragging sleds on which
the bodies were placed sewn up in blankets,
they were beset by deep drifts and whirling
PARTICLES of snow driven before the bowling
blasts OF winter in the thin mountain air
pricked like so many needles. Fortunately,
however, all the brave men who risked the
fatgues and dangers of the journey to save
the unfortunates buried beneath the drifts of
the avalance, returned without having re-
ceived serious harm. Twelve bodies were
brought down the canyon in
MoURNFUL PROCESSION,
single file, lashed upon sleds. The first sled
bore the body Of Matte Hickey, the. next
Timothy Madden, jeremiah Regan, David B.
Evans, James Watson, Barney ellison and
Mrs. Ford with her baby lashed TO her breast
The last sled carried the four children of
Edward Ballou. The following persons re-
ported dead were rescued alive:
Andrew White, after being under the snow
twelve hours, slightly injured
Frederick Cuinan, after being buried six
teen hours, also hurt, but not seriously.
Mr.. Keist, in a drift six hours.
Besides these Mr.. Ford, though not COW
cred by the avalanche, was badly hurt. The
body of one Of the Cinnamon was not found.
Mrs Ford, 1t appears, had premoDition of
danger, and begged her husband 20 take her
and their child to place OF safety that fatal
night, SAYING she felt sure an avalanche was
coming. An inquest was held to-day and
the burials will occur tomorrow. Mrs Bal
lou, Mrs. Keist (wOunded), Mrs. Hewitt,
Mrs. Johnson and her four children and
Hans Olson and four children are still in
Alta in constant danger. A rescue party
will go out tomorrow morning organized to
bring them in Snow slides in that region
are Of daily occurrence.
ANOTHER AVALANCHE.
One occurred last Saturday in Superior
gulch, which the survivors at Alta feel sure
resulted in the death OF Samuel Prescott, a
ranger, and John White, working there.
Two men going there to see IL they were
safe, got in sight of their cabin and turned,
when they saw snowslide start, and In an
instant almost the cabin was obliterated In "a
SEA OF SNOW.
The conclusion Of the slide threw them vio-
lently to the ground. They hurried away
for fear Of another slide. 1t is reported a
man named McDaniels, living south Of Alta,
was killed by the slide of Friday night.
Nothing has been seen OF heard of him since.
In three slides In Alta, all of which occurred
on Friday, thirty persons have been killed.

Protesting AGAINST the Measure


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.- A printed protest
Of large propositions against permitting the
Masonic societies to participate in the dedi-
cation Of the Washington monument next
Saturday has been received by congress
The signers claim to have 5000 signatures.
The Piotestants say that the Masonic order
has no more right for such distinction than
the Hibernians or any other secret order.
The stone sent by the pope for the monu-
ment was, they say, broken up
and thrown into the Potomac river.
Why they ask, are Catholics snuboed and
Freemasons honored. Masonry, they say,
is Of foreign birth, entirely un-American,
and un-Repubcan. Its public displays are
pompous, its titles extravagant and lord ly.
It's onstitution is despotic, its oaths extra
and Judicial, which they say should be sur
pressed by law. They pray only that such
ceremonies as are national in their scope ard
American in their character be permitted.
The protest came too late for action by the
committee.

The Iowa Settlers Bill.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.--Messrs. Hamlin,
Countryman aud Dewey, the delegates of
Iowa citizens representing the settlers upon
the unearned lands of the Sioux City
& St. Paul railroad. have had an interview
with Senator Morgan, member Of the pub
lie lands committee. They want him in the
event the Republicans do not press their bill
to urge the Democrats to do SO. Senator
Morgan told them he believed
the bin could be taken up
and passed at this session. He assured
them that the Democrats will stand by the
settlers and vote TO give them their rights,
but be said should the senate fail to pass the
pending bill, despite all the Democrats could
do, he thought he could assure them that the
next congress would enact a law protecting
the settlers and fixing the price of land at
$3.50 per acre, and giving settlers the prefer
ence as purchasers. He felt confident that
congress would not permit the settlers to
lose their bones.
Senators Allison aud Wilson say the bill
will be passed this session.

 Judge Foraker's views on the llq- uor traffic as embodied in the platform of the party he represents had strong influence in securing his election. It WAS not political fight so much as a whiskey fight.
