SALT LAKE, November 22d.-The
Mormons have as they say, turned
the tables" on the Gentiles. For some
time there have been rumors that the
Mormon leaders had hired harlots to
come here and entrap Gentiles. Last
night Deputy United States Marshal
Vandercook was arrested on charge
of lewdness with Mrs. Field and United
States Commissioner Pearson with
Lydia Bailey. The church paper this
morning, is in high glee,, and assumes
the guilt of the accused, but Wander
cook denies all knowledge of Mrs.
Field, and affirms that the case against
him is put-up job. Pearson also
denies his guilt. Many warrants arc
said to be out, and reports say the
cases will be made, if possible, at all
hazards A great deal Of feeling has
been stirred up by the rumors, and
much warmth is exhibited.

The Nc,s Mail Contract
William Center, Of the firm of
Spnsckels Brothers & Company, was in
teryiewed last night by Call reporter
in reference to the reports contained in
the following special dispatch which
was received by the Calm the evening :
New YORK, Nov, I9.-A Washing
ton special to the Posi- says The
Postofice Department has been adj
vised that, upon the completion of the
Canadian Pacific roads, all tranatlantic
mails from England will be forwarded
over that road, and that new line of
British steamers will be established
at the western terminus of the Cana
dian Pacific. for Australia.
Mr.. Center began by saying that
there was one very strong reason for
disbelieving in the rumors referred to,
and which in fact rendered it impossi-
DIE for them to be true, this being the
simple fact that contract had just
been signed between the authorities at
Sydney on the one part, and his own and
the Union Steamship Company upon
the other, whereby they are to carry
The English and colonial mails for the
period of three years from the aIst inst.
More than this, the very project which
is the subject of the rumor mentioned
was brought before the Colonial Parlia-
ment during Mr.. Center's late visit to
Australia for the purpose of arranging
the mail contract, and thoroughly dis
cussed in all its bearings. ST. julius
Vogel and other prominent members
investigated the matter exhaustively
with Mr.. Center's assistance, and, as
the result oftheir inquiries, pronounced
positively against the project.
A Loss Of Time
1t was show that there would inev,
tably be an actual loss in time OF at
least two days from the Atlantic shore
to Sydney, for, although the Canadian
Pacific road is somewhat atshorter thanthe
American mail route, the time gained
would, under the most favorable condi-
tions, amount to only about one day,
while at least three would be lost
through the extra length Of the sea voy-
age upon the Pacific 1t would simply
be shortening of the fast part Of the
distance and a lengthenine Of the
slower portion.
