PROBABLY A MORMON TRICK.
A Proposition to Sell Out the Landed Posses
si0ns of the Polygamists.

NEW YORK, May 27.-There are indications
here that the operations of the Edmunds bill
with reference to polygamy has had an unexpect-
ed effect upon the leaders of the Mormon Church
The control of that church is vested in the
President and his twelve apostles. 1t has been
generally supposed that they held a vast amount
of property for the church The amount, how
ever, appears to be comparatively limited and
under pressure of the Edmunds bill they have
been impelled to make proffer of the sale of
all their principal possessions to syndicate of
Eastern capitalists, with the intention of emf
grating to Mexico, and taking with them such of
their followers as can be induced to leave Utah.
The proposition has been laid before sesAral large
Eastern capitalists, who have been invited to
consider 1T purely from business standpoint.
The agent in the matter is John W. Young, a
son OF Brigham Young by his first wife Young
was one of the contractors for the building of
the Union Pacific road aud is sharp business
man. He has Been here for two or three months
on this mission and has one of his wives with
him. lie was here about a year ago with a
brother and son. at which time so many Mrs.
Youngs We're registered at the hotel where they
stopped that 1t became mooted question wheth
er the practices of Mormonism were not being
carried on in New York. Thus far, Young has
made no progress, beyond getting hearingfrom
capitalists, WHO nave Idhcu his SCueLno unoer
consideration.
A gentleman who formerly lived in Utah, said
to your correspondent to-day: lit has long been
the desire of a strong faction of the active
leaders among the Mormons to get away
from Utah. presume that the convic-
tons under the Edmunds bill has given
them the excuse for pressing their views on the
rest of the church. There is very little common
property held by the church. The Territory is
districted; each district is given to apos-
tie. There are upwards of one hundred bishops,
chosen for their business capacity The bishops
silent partner is the apostle for his district The
entire scheme is TO get up monopoly of trade.
No other Mormon is allowed to start a store, and
the Mormons are forbidden to trade with the
gentiles. If an offer of property has been made
dividuals. 1t may be big scheme to sell land
that is otherwise unstable. The Mormons are
equal to any such trick, and the Youngs are
sharp enough to put it through"
