The report recommends the adoption
OF an amendment to the federal consti

exclusive jurisdiction. The commits
sloners in conclusion say: We have o
disposition 10 defend the MormonS
against all that has been alleged against
them, but we believe they are entitled
to be treated with justice and human
lty; that they are not incorrigable; that
they are sur ject to be influenced by the
same c. urses that have changed and
ameliorated other churches and other
creeds. We also b. lieve that they have
comm on sense and by the exerci re Of
this valuable attribute they have found
that polygamy must 60. We believe
that great mass of the Mormon peo-
pie are determined to go on with this
reform and that they will accomplis h
the work in spite of suy influence tn at

few fanatical old polygamists.

BISMARCK'S VIEWS.
He Tells Why the Published
Diary is Unauthentic.
HIS REASONING CONCLUSIVE.
Problem Before the German
People.

Berlin, September 27.-Reich san
zeiger has published this report to En-
peror William prepared by Prince Bis
marck: l do not consider the diary
published genuine. The Crown Prince
in 1870 did not share in the political dis.
cussion. 1 did not have the kings per-
mission to discuss with the Crown
Prince the more intimate question of
our policy, because the king feared it
might lead to indiscretions att the English
court and harm our relations
with our German federal allies. 1t
seems as if the daily notes, or at any
rate, their later elaboration, were the
work OF some person in t1e Grown
Princes confidence. Testing the diary's
accuracy, especially remarkable Is the
chronological error made in referring
to the warm discussion between myself
and the Crown Prince, regarding the
future of Germany and the relations
between the Emperor and the German
Prince as occurring at Versailles. This
conversation occurred on September
Sd at Donehery, This assertion in thu
diary that the Grown Prince enter
tanned the idea of using force against
our federal allies and violating treaties
is calumny against our departed
sovereign.
Just as little in accordance with the
facts, is what the diary says concerning
my attitude toward the imperial ques-
ton in 1866. The Crown Prince
doubted whether an imperial federation
would b I'VE been possible or even use
full in 1866. The declaration of the
ropes infallibility was always regarded
by me with indifference. This was less
the case with the Grown Prince. l con-
sidered it a false move on the part of
the Pope, and begged the Grown Prince
to let the question rest during the war.
The Crown Prince could never have had
that impression, nor entered that state
ment In his diary. l pursued the
question after the war.
In view of these facts l don't consider
the diary published in the Deutche
Reunchau genuine. Therefore. [ pray
Your Majesty to empower me to liz
struct the Minister of justice to order a
public prosecution.

A similarity has been discovered
