Gives Good Cheer to the Holders of
Panama Shares.
PARIS, July 29.-M. DeLesseps read long
report at to days meeting of Panama canal
shareholders. He says that every section
has been contracted for and that the mortai
ty for the past five years was slightly over
five per cent, which was not excessive. He
declared that the opponents Of the canal in
America have become assured of the COM
pletion, have ceased to oppose the scheme
and will henceforth be useful auxiliaries.
He denounced spectators in France for at
tempting to depreciate the stock, compelling
the company to borrow money at extraordi-
nary rates. He cited the opinions of eminent
engineers of various countries, among them
Admiral Davis and Engineer Kelly, both of
whom Americans, to prove that the re-
ceipts will suffice to pay interest on a capital
of two milliards of francs. He referred to
the failure of the lottery scheme, explained
the new loan and said that the general recep-
ton thereof proves it's wisdom. He declared
that the difficulty of the enterprise had been
deliberately oyerdrawn. It was unfair to
Judge of the duration of the work by the
amount done. The rate increases with the
Improvement of methods, machinery, etc.
He calculated that by such an in
crease the work would be completed
in June, 1889. 1t was equally
unfair to estimate the total cost by the ex-
traction per meter SO far. The heaviest out
lay was involved in organization, transport,
etc. At Suez the first third of extraction
absorbed two-thirds of the expense. M. De-
Lesseps pledged himself to open the canal in
he tad nv ha
gress in 1879. The original plans will be
modified if it is necessary to accomplish this.
The consulting committee will meet shortly
to consider scheme to modify the plans.
The next annual meeting of stockholders
will have full report of the result of the
work with the opinion of the commission,
when they will be able to judge for them
selves. He concluded by stating that the
success of the new loan was necessary
reply to opponents and to maintain the zeal
of the staff and strengthen the confidence
of the contractors, "We," he said, 'treckon
on your fidelity as you may reckon on our
devotion"
NJ de Lesseps presided over a crowded
meeting of shareholders in the Panama canal
to night. In defining the financial condition
of the company and its prospects he said the
subscriptions for stock which had been stead
lily coming in from the provinces justified the
belief in the advisability of new issue of
bonds. The report to the shareholders,
which was of a most favorable character, was
unanimously adopted.

OTTAWA, July 29.-A special from Saint
Pierre, Miquelon, says smallpox is raging in
that town and that the whole place is one
hospital. There have been deaths and others
occur daily. There is no prospect of any
immediate cessation. The governor of the
town is himself sick with the disease and
there have been two deaths in his household.

The Sacramento Record Union says
There is a very positive statement made
that the Mormons OF Utah have secured
a grant to large tract oi land in Mexico,
with the guaranteed privilege OF practic-
ing there their polygamous rites,
unrestrained by the Government
or its Courts. We could wish that
all the Mormons in Utah would avail
themselves OF the privilege, who believe
in the righteousness OF plural marriage.
And all Mormons OF the Utah branch oil

monogamy will hold TO the possessions in
Utah and thus positive division between

RUssfA'S FINGER IN THE PIE.


The Greek dispute has passed out Of
the stage in which its settlement de-
pended upon the caprice OF Athcnian
inobs. The irrcpressiblc disturbances on
the frontier, continuing through all ad-
minstrations, whether the government
declares for peace or war, have evidently
u deeper meaning than the mere in
subordinate rashness OF the troops. Or
course, even ii Greece alone were in
volved, war would sooner or later be GER
tain. Ii the political map oil southeastern
Europe we're the same rs the race map,
Greece would cover very respectable
space. With all the islands OF
the LEgean, and its whole European
coast, with most OF Epirus and part
Macedonia and Thrace, and with her
boundaries extending almost to the walls
OF Constantinople, and including double
her population, the Hellenic kingdom
would be tolerably strong second class
power, instead OF an Insignificant third
class one. When this consideration OF
ambition is backed by sympathy for the
Greeks still ruled by Turkish despotism
it s clear that the changes OF ministries
and the assertions of peaceful intentions
cannot alter the certainty OF an outbreak.
But this crisis might pass, us SO many
others have passed, without any immcdi-
ate trouble, il stronger hand than that
OF Greece or Turkey were not mcddlinl
in it. All the signs point towards Russil
as the power that holds the decision o
peace or war, and means to decide fol
war. Poor little Greece has been tht
football of the powers from the begin
ming, her interests only considered a.
they affected the interests OF some greatel
nation. And now Russia, in the fgh
which she is bent on provoking will
England, seems to be using Greek aspira
tions TO start the game. We cal
only hope that when the little kingdom
has been used for the convenience OF it
great neighbor, it will not be forgotten il
the distribution OF the spoils. Salonic:
should be Greek, but Austria covcts it
and will be most likely to get it, unless
she is on the wrong side in the fight
The only chance ior Greece TO gain mucl
is for her rivals to be so divided that tn
most dangerous ones will be with tn

OF It's laws unhceded or laughed TO scorn
1t will take something good deal more
forceiul than even Constitutional
amendment prohibiting polygamy to
bring the Saints to their senses; it will
take just such legislation us will
make the soil OF United States
territory too hot for the soles oil
polygamists' feet to touch without blistor'
ing, and when we get that, then the de-
cree referred to may be forthcoming.
When the thing resolves itself down TO
that point where the Saints find it neces'
sary either TO quit the practice OF polyg-
amy or emigrate, then may we look for
something interesting to drop from the
lips OF the men through whom the
Saints aver God Almighty is wont
to spcak--and not until then.

DIED rO ESCAPE THEIR SHAME.
4 Widows InIatunti ton for Youn n
Farm Hand Causes the Death
of HOth.

JollEr, ILL.,, May ia bloody tragedy
was the sequel to criminal liason at
Frankfort, twenty-eight miles east OF
here, causing an immense sensation in
that village. Several months ago, John
Block, wealthy German, died, leaving
n wife As years of age and several half
grown children. After his death, the
hired man, Albert Wier, 26 years
old, continued in the employ OF the
widow, who had two grown sons by her
first husband. One OF these sons, il is al
legged, discovered Saturday night that his
mother sustained improper relations with
Wiler, and had an alteration with her in
reference to ii.
On Sunday, Mrs. Block was missing,
and after brief search a locked door TO
Wiler's room was forced and n bloody
tragedy revealed. The bodies OF Wiler
and Mrs. Block lay upon the floor, while
everything around was bespattered with
blood. Mrs. Block was dead. 4 bullet
hole through her heart WAS found. Two
bullet holes were found in Wiler's head.
but he was not dead. A revolver with
three empty chambers lay by his side.
On bureau was found q letter written
by Mrs. Block 10 her son, upbraiding him
ior watching her and bringing disgrace
upon her, and blaming INN Tor her death.
The letter stated that they were both in.
nocent OF wrong and had resolved To die
together. The great difference in their
ages prevented marriage. 1t requested
her SONS to take care Of her children, to
wash the blood from her body and defend
her from blame, To bury her by the side
ol her husband, TO whom she was true,
and 10 bury Wiler beside her, and pay
the expenses of the funeral from the
wages due him.
The sons Were so cnraged that they
would have finished unconscious Wiler
had not officers interiered and brough,
him to Joliet, where he died last night
The Block family owned several fine
farms, splendidly improved, lived in a
fine house and stood well in the commu.
nifty, which is greatly shocked over the
bloody affair.

ton in the Mormon journalistic field,
undertook TO express ''guess" on Sun
day morning without first getting the cue
from its ranking contemporary, and the
result was that it fcll in the mud, SO to
speak, and now there is a lack OF "onc-

good Saints who are not posted. Speak

stitution by the adoption OF an article
prohibiting polygamy, the second fiddle
on Sunday morning squealicd the follow
ing squeak Naturally, the first qucs-
ton that arises is, What will be the
effect OF the adoption Of the proposed
amendment? One can only guess
at the answer, and our guess
is that the effect will be beneficial
rather than injurious 10 the afflicted pco-
pie OF Utah. 1t certainly cannot make
matters worse than they are, and may
