has received the following telegram.
Salt Lake City, Dec. ITO Hon. John
T. Cain, House Of Representatives, Wash
ington. D. G.: We understand that repre-
sensations have been made to President
Cleveland that there is danger of an upris-
ing on the part of Mormons here. that the
property and lives of nom Mormons are in
secure and that military protection is re-
quired. The city council is making an
official investigation and has invited the
federal and military officials and all others
having information bearing on the matter
toappear and testify. The investigation
has proceeded far enough to demonstrate
the utter falsity of these rumors and that
no foundation exists for them in fact. A
battery OF artillery arrived from Omaha to-
day and a company of troops is quartered
in the city, ostensibly to protect citizens
and property. Represent the matter fully
to President Cleveland immed ately. stat
ing that NO excitement exists and that these
measures are uncalled for and entirely un-
necessary. The property and personal
safety of all citizens is perfectly secure.
