DISGUISED MORMONS.

Chief Justice Zane Reads the Mormon Cor
spiratorsa Lecture and Dismisses a Batch
of Cases Trumped Up Against Gentle Of
ficials.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, December Is
The Mormons were treated to another
setback yesterday in their scheme to re-
taliate on Federal officials and prominent
Gentiles. The prosecutions of the latter
on the charge of lewd and lascivious con-
duct have been going ON vigorously
in the Mormon Courts lately.
The defendants, upon conviction in
every case appealing to the District
Court. Yesterday morning the United
States District Attorney refused to prose-
cute the cases, saying they had been
brought through spite, the accused hav-
ing been entrapped by Mormons, who
hired prostitutes to inveigle susceptible
Gentiles. He moved to dismiss
the appeals and release the
defendants. Chief Justice Zane
granted the motion and read a lecture to
the Mormon officials and others who had
put up the job on the Gentiles. He de-
nounced the conspiracy, and declared
that the prosecutions were not in the liz
terest of morality. The Mormons are
much disguised, though they say they
will go on making making arrests of those
Gentiles who have been caught in the
conspiracy trap.

Preparations in England That Look Like
Another Campaign in the Soudan.
LONDON, December 16.-The growing
anxiety regarding the situation in Egypt,
noticed in these dispatches last night, is
still more apparent this evening. 1t is
learned that orders have been received at
the Government arsenals to prepare
munitions of war in large guam
titles and be in readiness to ship
them at once to the Soudan,
and that these orders were quickly fol-
lowed by urgent acquisitions yesterday
for immediate shipment of arms and
stores sufficient for fifty regiments. Fear
is expressed that the government may
have received some bad news from
Cairo that has not yet become
public. The additional details
of the severe fighting at Koseshon Sun
day have been received. The British are
SAID to have repulsed the Arabs with
great slaughter. Those familiar with
Arab fighting know that this implies con-
siderable loss on the other side, and par
ticulars are anxiously awaited.

CUTS THE WRONG WAY.

The Indians, Who Were Dissatisfied with
the Presence of the Cattle Barons On
Their Lands. Now Miss Their Rent Mon
ey--Fears of Trouble.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, December l5.-.
Word has reached here from Fort Reno,
in the Arapahoe Reservation, Indian Ter
ritory, that an outbreak is imminent
among the Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
Great dissatisfaction prevails among the
bucks of these tribes, which is aggravated
by the loss of the large sums of rem.
money which they had been receiving TO,
the past ten years from the cattle barons.
Since President Cleveland has elected the
cattlemen from these reservations, of
course, rental payments have ceased.
The Indians who set up such clamor at
the presence of white settlers never real
lied what source of supply these white
intruders were. They paid from four to
ten cents an acre for the use Of
grazing lands, and this money was di-
vided quarterly per capita among the
bucks of the Cheyenne and Ararahoe
tribes, and it kept them in whisky, to-
bacco, old plug hats, etc, the entire year.
The period for distribution of quarters
rental has just passed, and the bucks rode
from all parts of the Nation to receive
their stipend, but found nothing awaiting
them. Now they accuse the Government
of robbing them, and are ready for an
outbreak. Those Chiefs who were most
urgent in demanding the expulsion of the
cattlemen are now the most rampant de-
nouncers of the Government. 1t was
thought the recent issues of annuity
goods by the Government at Darlington
Agency would pacify the disgruntled Red
skins, but it has had the very opposite
effect. This was the first. annuity supply
to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in three
years, and the Indians thought they were
entitled to three times as much as usual.
But Congress made them no back appro-
priation. Hence, they claim they are be-
ing robbed. Murders and outrages may
be looked for in these reservations
shortly.

BLACkMAILERS FOILED.

An Attempt to Extort Money From the
Prince of Wales by Threatening Ltters
Leads to the Arrest of the Blackmalers.
LONDON, December 19.-The perons
who were arrested yesterday for attelpt-
ing to blackmail the Prince of Walesare
Jno. Magee and young woman who ais
herself his wife, and is known as hrs.
Sarah Magee. They wrote letters d.
dressed to the Prince, but the letters wre
intercepted by one of the Princes equr-
ries. The Prince did not recere
or read either of the letters. They wre
in female hand, and demanded that th
Prince should send ESQ to the writer,
who named time and place for receiving
the money. The equerry turned the let
ters over to the police, who wrote to the
address given by the writer accept
ing the appointment. Two detectives
went to the appointed place and
found the woman waiting for the
money. They told her that they had been
authorized to satisfy her demands, and
handed her a heavy parcel filed with
tarthings. Then they arrested her. In
her fright she disclosed her identity and
that of her accomplice and putative hus-
baud. John Magee was. speedily arrest
ed, and both the prisoners were arraigned
before Magistrate and remanded
for examination. There is great Gu
riosity as to the contents of
the threatening letters. A correspondent
the Marlborough House and saw the
equerry who Intercepted the letters.
The correspondent asked to be allowed
to copy the letters, but the equerry said
it was now out of his power to grant that
request. On being asked to describe the
contents of the letters, he answered with
apparent frankness that the letters said
the writer was an emissary OF a secret
society, and had been ordered to kill the
Prince of Wales; that she did not want
to obey the order, but was wholly within
the power of the society, and would be
compelled to commit the murder unless
she could get away from England, and
that she wanted ESQ to enable her to en-
igrate to America and quit all conspiracics
forever. If there is nothing in the mys-
terious letters that is more compromising
than the equerry'S answer indicates,
they will probably be made public at the
Police Court to-day. Mrs. Magee was
afterward seen by the correspondent, but
she resolutely refused to answer any
questions as to the contents of the letter
or to say whether the version given above
was or was not correct. She denied that
she wrote the letters, and declared that
her confession that she had done
so was forced from her
by the detectives, who, she says, tortured
her and subjected her to various in
dignities when they had her alone in a
room. The detectives, who are re-
spectacle inspectors of police, deny this
charge, and say that the woman's confess
sion was quite voluntary.

corded to Texas cattle caught in transit
