The Commission Opposes Admitting
the Territory at Present.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28-The majority
report of the Utah commission, signed by
G. L. Godfrey, A. B. Williams and Arthur
l.. Thomas, was received this morning by
the Secretary of the Interior. The recon-
mendation of the last annual report Is re-
newed, that Utah should not be admitted
to the union until such time as the Mormon
people shall manifest by their future acts
that they have abandoned poIygamy in good
faith, and not then until an amendment
shall have been made to the constitution of
the United States prohibiting the practice
of polygamy.
AN UNCoNSTTTUTIoNAL CONVENTION.
The report adds that the convention
which adopted the proposed constitution,
upon which an appeal was made to congress
for admission to the union, was held with
out authority from any proper source. 1t
is further asserted that the proposed consti-
tuition is silent with respect to the crime of
polygamy, and the commissioners are of
the opinion that the government cannot
afford to surrender the great advantage
which it now holds, and which has been
secured at much expense and trouble. They
also think that no arm can result from de-
lay in the admission of the territory.

Attitude and Chest Capacity.

At an elevation of 5000 feet the
surface OF tine body is relieved of near
ly seven thousand pounds weight as
compared with the pressure at sea
level. When such an enormous weight
is liitedfrom the body its interior is
also decidedly affected-the pulse is
accelerated from fifteen to twenty
beats and the respiration quickened
from ten to fifteen breaths minute;
and evaporation from the skin and
lungs increases. These are some OF the
immediate effects. Protracted resi-.
denee in such a high region enlarges the
chest capacity. The Quichua Indians,
on the elevated table lands OF Peru,
have enormous chests, containing ca
pacious lungs with large air cells. The
Mexican Indians possessed chests
which were out of proportion to the
size of the individual Children born
in the Rocky mountains have chests
OF unusually large capacity. The rea-
son why the number of resperations
increases while person ascends q
great elevation is that at the sea level
cube loot of dry air contains about
100 grains OF oxygen, while at an ele'
walton of 5000 feet it contains only
about 106 grains-nearly 25 per :cent
less than person is accustomed to
breathe at or near the seaboard;
therefore, in order to supply the
wanted amount on oxygen to the bo
dy, the respirations must increase
either in number or in extent.

passed a vote of thanks for the dis
tinguished military services he had
rendered the country. The speaker
