A CALI. FOR HELP
Which the Government Is Unable to Meet
Because 1t Has No Strong Ships.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Secretary Manning
has received the following dispatch from Senator
Fair, dated San Francisco
1.-THE American whaling bark Amethyst. of
this port, is supposed to have been lost on her
way from the Arctic ocean. The last ship to
rive thinks she got down to Behrirg sea. The
Amethyst has on board crew of forty men. If
the ship has been lost on the passage down, the
may have got shore some of the
islands of Behring sea, in which case, unless as
sistance is rendered Immediately, they will
freeze to death A petition from the owners
and masters of the whaling feet has been for
warded to you by mall imploring You to send up
relief and search party. Will you send such a
party Immediately? in case the Amethyst ar
rives, will telegraph yon promptly, so that you
countermand orders"
Promptly upon the .eceipt Of the dispatch at
the Treasury kilograms were sent to experienced
officers of the revenue marine at San Francisco,
asking for information as to the probable condi-
ton of the ice in Behriug sea, but answers have
not yet been received. The prevailing opinion
among the Treasury officials is that it would be
mpracticabe to send out search party at this
season, as there is vessel in the possession of
the government strong enough to battle with the
arctic ice in winter The revenue marine steam
Corwin, vessel that has heretofore been re
markably successful in arctic work, is now at
San Francisco, and. if it is regarded as feasible
to make the search, she would undoubtedly be
selected for that duty. If the advices received
from San Francisco are favorable to the under
taking the matter will be laid before the Presi-
dent for his decision.

An Atrocious Wife Murder.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Thomas King, living at
No. 2529 Cologne street, in quarrel. last night,
murdered mis- wife, by beating her brains out
with a chair The police succeeded in arresting
King about o'clock this afternoon. The muir
der appears to have been one of peculiar atroc-
itv. The tragedy occurred on Christmas eve,
and after killing his wife King remained in the
house all that night all of yesterday, and again
last night, going out frequently to visit the
neigbborne saloons. The fact of the murder
was not made known until this morning, when
King visited his ssterin-law, sister of his muir
dered wife, and informed her of the occurrence,
who, in turn related the facts to the police, who
at once put men the track of the murderer,
finding him on the street at the time stated.
King is forty years old, having been married
twice. having three children by his first wife.

SARAH ALTHEA HILL.
A United States Court Decides Her Alleged
Marriage with Sharon Null and Void.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-United States Cir
cult Judge Deadly this morning rendered de-
cision in favor OF plaintiff in the suit of Sharon
vs. Hill, brought to declare void the alleged
marriage contract. The action was brought by
William Sharon against Sarah Althea Hill, to
declare null and void the contract upon which
Superior Judge Sullivan granted the defendant
divorce from the plaintiff one year ago.
The decision, after stating the evidence in the
case which covers 731 pages of legal cap, written
with type writer, refers to the refusal of the
defendant to produce the alleged marriage con-
tract before the examiner and her committal for
contempt for this offense, and adds:
''This singular conduct can only be interpreted
as an admission that such inspection would tend
to prove its [the marriage contracts falsity."
In determining the plaintiffs stand in the
Circuit Court citizen of Nevada, it is held
that Notwithstanding the plaintiffs two years
residence in California, he never exercised any
political rights in this State, which voided his
status as citizen of Nevada. hence he was still
a citizen of the latter State. On n question as
to the adjudication of the Superior Court in the
divorce case of Sharon VS.. Sharon, in which an
appeal Is now pending, the decision says:
''The Supreme Court of the State has uni
formly held that an appeal from Judgment sus-
pends its operation for ali purposes, and that set
ties the question for this court"
1t follows that the plaintiff is not estopped by
the judgment of the Superior Court, in the
Sharon VS.. Sharon case, to prove in this case
that the declaration Of marriage is false and
forged. The decision then states that the
principal question is as to whether
the alleged declaration of marriage is genuine or
forged. Much space IS devoted to the analysis
of the testimony, and chirography experts pro ve
as far as such evidence can. that the signature
to the document is forged. The letters are ira
cings substituted for other words. The opinion
concludes by stating that the alleged marriage
contract is forgery, and DEGREES that it is null
and void. The opinion is by Judge Deadly, of
contains $4,000 words. Judge Sawyer fled a
concurring opinion.

A Strike for Reduction of Hours.

DUQUoIN, H., Dec. 6-The drivers employed
in the st. Johns coal mines here are out on a
strike for shorter hours. The men are working
eleven and half hours for days work, and
think it far too much for the pay they receive
and hence theyaask that their hours of labor be
lessened In consequence the miners are idle
The company has no coal of consequence on
hand, ard the strike places them in tight place
The strikers action is not sanctioned by the
local assembly of the knights of Labor, as there
is but one Of the number among the strikers
that belongs to the order. 1t is generally sup
posed that the company will either at once short
en- the drivers hours, put in new men, as
they cannot well afford to allow the works to re-
main idle.

MORMONISMILLU
CANNON'5 STRAIGHT LIFE IN
WASHINGTON,

The object OF His Present Visit to the
Capital Nos Made Public-DeIegate
Game Talks About His CO. Believers-
Three Thousand Men who Have More
Than One Wife Each.
WASHINGTON March 27.-Amone the
familiar faces that come to the surface
here in this time of general resurrection
Is that of George @ Cannon, former Dele
gate from Utah, Mormon elder. He has
been here most of the time since the in
auguration. What is the object of his
coming he does not say. Private bust
ness" is the alleged cause of his long trip
from his mountain encircled home at the
heart of MOrmonism. He finds a good
many acquaintance here, perhaps good
many friends, for it must be admitted that
emitting his frank enunciatiOn of his be-
lief in the peculiar feature of his church
faith-pOly gamy-Mr. Cannon was an ex-
emplary citizen while here. Indeed. if
ether members of Congress would lead
lives hall as correct in appearance as did
Mr.. Cannon, or as his successor, Mr..
Game, there would be MANY less scan
dals and much less of reprOach regard
ing lives of Congressman in general.
IN all Jne long years that Mr.. Cannon
was here, and IN most cases he came
quite alone and not accompanied by any
member of his numerous family, there
never was heard any attack on his hab-
Its, though, of course, an oppOrtu-
nifty to do so would have been even
more promptly accepted than in many
other cases. What has brought him here
now is not certainly known. Probably
he hoped by coming to learn what the
course OF the new administration was to
be toward the MOrmons. If he has sue
ceeded in finding any comfort or reason
to believe it will be less vigorous than his
predecessor, he has been more successful
than others who have made careful in
quiry regarding the matter. President
CleVelands vigorous utterances regard
ing his great evil in his inaugural did not
reassure, to any great extent, those
who had hoped for change in favor
Of the MormOns. Mr.. Cannon is
understood to be the head of a pretty
large family, having four wives, the fifth
having died some time since. Whether
he has followed the professed course of
some Others of the leaders in putting
away all but one of their wives is not
known. The head Of the church, Joseph
Smith, set an example for the younger
men, when the law was passed, which
may have been more difficult for some of
the younger men to follow than was the
case with him

ELDER CANNON.

''Mr. Smith, our president" said Dele
gate Game, Mr.. CannOn's successor, talk
ing to your correspondent, "set an exam
pie for the other members of the church,
who were living in pOlygamy as soon as
the Edmunds law was passed. He was
living in new residence that had been
built for the president OF the church and
his family. He had just occupied it, for,
though it was begun before Brigham
Young's death, it was not finished when
Mr.. Smith became president. When the
law was passed he called his wives to-
getheT, and, explaining the law as en-
acted, said that he did not want to be a
laW-breaker, or to set an example of defy
ing the law, even though he considered it
a great injustice. SO he SAID he thought
it was best for their marriage relations to
end, and that they should no longer
occupy the same residence. He gave
his wives their choice Of remaining in the
new house together or of going to the old
one again, saving that if they would stay
there he would go back 20 the old one
himself, or if they preferred to so to the
old one he would stay in the new one.
So they went TO the old one again, and the
President has lived entirely alone, and
without marriage relations with any of
his wives since that time"
"Have there been any pOlygamOUs mar
riages since the enactment of the Ed
mupds law, Mr. CaineE'
"Only one so tar as l know. On tn at
one there is to be a trial next MONTH"
''Tnen it looks as though the result of
the Edmunds law, if enforced, might in
time be the end Of p0lygamy, does it nOt?'
perhaps. 1t Is pretty hard to say.
POlygamy is not as widely practiced as is
supposed by many people, and its entire
disappearance from the practices of the
MOrmOns would not be a matter OF so
much moment as many believe"
Chow many polygamists are there in
the Mormon Church, Mr.. CaineY
''That can not be definitely answered,
but from what information / have | do
not think there are more than 5000 pOlYga-
nous families; Or, in other words, not
over 5000 men who have more than one
wife each. You see our women vote there.
Well, the report of the commissioners
who enforced the Edmunds law stated
that the law which prevented polyga-
mists-men or wOmen-frOm voting dis
franchised about 10000 persons. Well,
to be polygamist of course every man
must have at least two wives. So when
1850 men are prohibited from voting of
course double their number are of course
prohibited. SO that would make 5000.
Then there are some widows of deceased
pOlygamists who are prohibited from
voting, and few others who are affected
by the law, and besides that, some few
cases where men have more than two
wives each. So L think, taking this basis
of u, 900 votes affected by the law, that it
is a reasonable inference that there are
not more than 5000 men who had, at the
time the Edmunds law was passed, more
than one wife each.
