BY the eminent lawyers employed by the
Mormons that all this legislation is uu-
constitutional. Should the ConRtitution
be amended and polygamy become un-
constitutional the apostles will probably
accept the inevitable and pass the word
around among the faithful that they must
abandon pelyRamops msrrisges. In do.
ing this, however, they propose to retain,
II possible, their power and control in
Utah by securing the admission Of the
Territory into Statehood. Should this con-
spiracy be consummated Il will be q terri

might as well get ready to leave.

WARRINGTON, D. O., Dec. 20.-The inter-
State commerce bill, as reported to the
Senate from the conference committee,
will be called up by Senator Oullom on
Tuesday, in accordance with the notice
given by him last week. The greatest in,
terest is manifested throughout the Coun'
try in the probable action on this most
important measure, to defeat which there
are now in Washington representatives ol
some OF the leading railroads.
Senator Ingalls,, Of Kansas, will make a
motion TO postpone consideration until
after the holidaygi on the ground that the
subject can not be properly discussed In
the few days preceding the recess; but II
ia not believed that the friends OF the bill
will consent to any delay. At any rate
Senator Cnllom indicated this last week
when he refused to name the stsond
Monday in January, instead Of the last
Tuesday in December, for taking the
measure up. The fight Of the opposition
will be for delay, and to prolong debate
until sufficient number Of votes can bs
won over to change the present sentiment
Of the Senate, which is admittedly In
favor Of the adoption Of the conference re-
port.
The House can take no action In the
matter until the bill comes over from the
Senate, but the members interested will
lose no opportunity in the meantime to
keep their Senators proof against the ap'
proSches Of suspected railroad influences

pres, in its weekly review oil the British
grain trade says: Heavy rain falls early
In the week interfered with work. Later
severe frosts benefited the crops. Delly-
cries Of English wheat continue small. In
provincial markets prices have advanced
another shilling and there Is prospect Of q
further rise. In the London market the
demand for English white wheat has been
better and rates have advanced pence.
Sales Of wheat during the week amounted
to B3, ,b66.quarters at 3Ss 4d, against G0, ,S52
quarters Ut 30j 81 the corresponding
period Of last year. Prices for foreign
wheat are hardening. There is nothing
to prevent q material advance during the
