OF the 1--WE mcmbors Of tho Utah Conn
mission. have submitted to the sesretary
Of the Interior the majority report of the
commission Of affairs IN the Territory
during the past year. They renew the
Recommendation of the last annual r..
port that the Territory should not b adj
mitted to the Union IS State until
such time as the Mormon people
shall manifest BY their acts that
they have abandoned polygany tu good
faith, and an amendment shall have been
adopted to the constitution prohfbitory of
polygamy. The action OF the Senate and
House committee on the petitions asking
for the admission OF Utah, tho report
claims, Is IN support OF the position taken
by the majority. The Senate committees
recommended, as condition Of admis-S
sion, that there should be undoubted evi-
dence on the part o: the Mormon people
OF the abandonment OF polygamy, and
the House recommended the adoption Of
the prohibitory amendment to the consti-
tuition. Both political parties in Utan, to
convention utterance. the report adds,
indorse the position OF the majority.
Tho report urges the granting to the Gov
ernor Of Utah the power of nppointinR
school superintendents, Us, under the
present plan Of popular elections, the
schools are under the control Of the Nor.
mon church. Reference Is made to the
act passed by the Legislature last
Governor, providing for the distribution
Of the public school fnud for tho
support Of the people among the
public schools. "A letter written in
June last by the president OF the
church Is also quoted, which expresses
the opinion that il the children are left
to the training they receive in schools
they will grow up In ignorance of those
principles OF salvation for which the
Latter Day Saints have made SO many
sacrifices. The Mormon people, the pres-
have schools where the Bible
the Book Of Mormon and the
Book OF Doctrines and Covenants, can be
used as text books, and where the princi-
pies of their religion may form part OF
the teaching. The report concludes,
from these circumstances, that the Nor.
mon Church favors q policy which il suc-
cessful will prove destructive to the pub
lie school system in Utah. The con1-
missioners also renew their recommends
ton Of last year that the Governor ap-
point county officers. The opinion is ex.
pressed in the report that the work under
the law of Congress with respect
to the registration Of voters and

has been well performed and very salts.

have been eight indictments for poly.
gamy and four convictions. 1854 indict-
ments for unlawful cohabitation aud

missioners express the opinion that an
energetic enforcement OF the laws should
be continued, and also that political
should be continued.

q FAST YOUTH.

Young st. Josephite, Whose Infatuation
for n Variety Actress Led Him to Rob His
Parentsand Leave tho Impression That
He was Drowned, Captured ut Kansas.
City. Mo
KANSAS CITY, No., Sept. 26.-Charles
Craft, son rf a wealthy merchant Of St
Joseph, Mo-, was arrested in this city
about nine o'clock last night and turned
over to Sergeant Lewellr of ST. Joseph,
and the two left for st. Joseph. Youlg
Craft is only sixte IN years Of age and
rather fast for boy. He disappeared
from home under mysterious and sensa-
tional circumstances week ago yester-s
day. The day following his disappear
ance his coat. hat and shoes were found
in q skif floating around on Lake Con-
trary, short distance out of ST. Joseph.
The circumstance led to the belief that
he had been drowned, aud for the time
being there was mourning IN the Craft
household. The lake was dragged, in
quiries about the missing boy were made
everywhere, but not trace of him could
be found. On Wednesday the elder
Craft found that $3.50 had been stolen
from his residence. The house had not
been burglarized, and it was clearly
evident that some member of the
family had taken the money. Detectives
were set ut work. At the places most
trequented by young Craft they learned
that he was inf atuated with variety
actress named Carrie Hall, who had been
playing in st. Joseph. but had left
week before for either Omaha or Kansas
City. They further learned that he had
been spending all his money on the
woman. At one of the leading clothing
stores they were told that Craft had pur-
chased suit Of clothes there Monday.
Putting these things together they ac-
counted for his disappearance on the
ground that he had stolen his fathers
money, followed the Hall woman and
left some of the clothes he had been
wearing in the skiff on the lake to give
out the impression that he had been
drowned.
Letters giving an account of the dis
appearance and inc1osing photographs of
the young man were sent to the police of
this city and Omaha The letter and
received here were turned
over to detectives. They soon located
both the woman and Craft. The former
was filling an engagement at a free and
easy resort here. Craft was almost con-
stantly at the place. She helped him
spend his money, and he INDUCED large
ly in wine and late suppers. Word was
sent to St. Joseph, and Sergeant LEVEL was
sent to Kansas City. The detectives then
went to the place and arrested young
Craft He had only $416 Of the $3.50 he
had stolen.

applican is awaiting the attention of the
court. Within fortnight nearly four
thousand persons have been made citi.
zens. This is an astonishing showing,
exceeding anything within the recollec.
ton OF Deputy Clerk Fitzgerald, who has
been connected with the Court of Grim
inal Correction for many years. The
fact that the other courts werc not in
session has sent all applicants to the
Court of Criminal Correction. but the
number Of applications heard here en-.
ceeds the total number made In all other
Federal and State courts In any ono cam.
paign year heretofore.
There is no donbt that fraud is being
practiced on the courts and that many
persons are being prepared for registra- s.
tion who are not entitled to vote. On
yesterday man approached one OF th q
registering clerks at the Office Of the
Recorder Of Voters and presented his
second papers for registration. His
name was william Broese, q native Of
Germany. He presented the second
papers, which read as follows: =
''and applies to be admitted q citizen OF
the United States and proves to the satis-
faction of the court that he has resided

He was then questioned more closely.
and showed that he had unwittin9ly taker,
out papers to which he was not entitled.
He had not hlled the requirement Of rss-
dence In the State one year, but said
that In making The application he did not
know that was necessary. He had not
heard all the answers and questions in
terchanged between the court and
the acquaintance who vouched for hia
qualifications. As he was. accord,n0
to his own statement not entitled to the
papers. the recorder refused to place his
name on the registration lists. The %.
