meut denunciators of poygamy in Utah are
those who hail from the highly moral State

WASHINGTON, July - Kilgore, Of
Texas, presented conference report on
the bill to ratify the act creating the
county of San Juan, New Mexico
agreed to.
The regular order was then demanded,
being an aye and no vote, onsthe Land
Grant Forfeiture bill, which was passed
on q vote Of III to s.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the Tariff bill, the pend
ing paragraph being that relating to iron
or steel railway fish plates or splice bars.
Buchanan's motion to strike out the
paragraph was rejected. The reading ol
the bill then progressed rapidly, motions
made on the Republican side to strike
out many of the paragraphs being rejected
generally WITHOUT division and with little
debate. IA
Farquhar's amendment increasing and
scaling duties in proportion to the size ol
fles, prevailed by a vote of GA to 81.
Mills, however. demanded tellers, and
the amendment was rejected.
On motion of Vance, of Connecticut,
with assent OF Mills, the paragraph i'm.
posing duty Of thirty-fve per cent. ad
uolovm on wood sore ws, was stricken
out, thus restoring the present rate Of
duty.
Dubois, of Ohio, opposed the reduc-
tion Of the duty on lead ore, quoting
from leading Democratic paper Of Ida
ho Territory, protesting against the re-
duction, and declaring that the Demo
cratic party OF Idaho was antagonistic to
it. 1t would have an injurious effect up
on silver mining, as in the low grade
mines great reliance was placed upor
lead which was mined in the process o
silver mining. He offered an amend
ment restoring the existing duty, ane
providing that the combination OF leae
ore with gold or silver ore shall not bt
exempted from duty on lead ore.
Perkins, of Kansas, sustained thu
amendment, but it was lost by tie vote

+" ROOM FOR THE LEPER, ROOM!'
A Chinese Found Near Nigger Alley
ROtting 10 Pieces with LeprOsy.

A Ch1nese Found Near N1HGGr Alley
Rotting 10 Pieces with Leprosy.
In horribly filthy Chinese "dead-
house," located just back of Niger Al
ley, in the Chinese quarter, lies man
slowly but surely mouldering to death
from that dread disease, ,-leprosy.
Late last night Officer Walsh, who
patrols beat in Chinatown, was in.
formed by a Chinaman that fellow
countryman was dying at the dead-house,
at the place designated.
A Chinese "dead-house" is usually a
tumble down and isolated hovel into
which Celestials, overtaken by incurable
diseases, are thrown and allowed to die.
The one in which the dying Chinaman
was found by Officer Walsh answered
the description above.
The policeman was nearly stifed as he
entered the horrible place. Lying upon
bunk was an emaciated Chinese. The
man groaned with pain and it was evident
that dissolution was near at hand. Elk.
animation revealed the fact that the mar
had literally rotted to death from leprosy
Where he came from no one knew, or i
they did none would say. The Officer
hastily quilted the dead house" and re-
ported the case at police headquarters
It was ordered that the leper be allowed
to remain in the "dead house" until to
day, when probably some disposition
will be made of the case.
