from Havana, Cuba where they were en-

by steamer at New Orleans the government
officials forbade them landing until it was
explained that they merely desired
to go across the territory of the
United States to San Francisco where they
had engaged passage to the tiowery king
dom. The Southern Pacific company was
compelled to give the government officials
bond for $3.50 for each of the Mongolan
passengers before the celestials were per-
mitted to board the train. The bond was
security that none of the Cinnamon should
escape from the train EN- route. The rail-

the Republican Ticket.

New YORK, October 8.-A New Orleans
special says Capt. A. L. Wimberly, col
lector Of internal revenue, received letter
yesterday from Gen. James R. Chalmers,
who was nominated by the Mississippi re-
publicans for governor. 1t contains his

Following is the letter:i

AN INFAMOUS IMPOSTURE.
The Mormon Leaders Taking Advantage of
the Ignorance of Their Dupes.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, October 5.-The
sixtieth general semi-annua conference of
the Mormon church began yesterday.
President Woodruff, in his opening address,
said the Mormon church had been estab-
lished by God, and that no power on earth
could stay its progress. All revelations
given to the saints, including the one of
poiygamy, came direct from God, and not
withstanding the trials and troubles
through which the Mormons had passed,
the Lord would sustain all those who
obeyed these principles and His revelations.
John w. Taylor commended the people to
give unquestioning obedience to the priest
hood. "These men at the head of the
church, f" he said, "have the spirit of reve-
lation and speak for God. bear my testi-
mony that President Woodruff and his
counselors are prophets, seers and revela-
tors. The hand of God is over this church,
and no power can destroy it or impede its
progress. / believe in implicit obedience
in temporal and spiritual things We can
not retain the spirit of God and yet be con-
startly finding fault with the priesthood.
We must learn not to judge men by what
we see, nor on the basis of the limited OPP
portunity we have of knowing what they
are doing for the people. We should not
criticise the church authorities"
Others speak in a similar vein. The
chu ch authorities are embracing every OPP
portunity to keep the people in line politi-
cally, for they tear that with the loss of po-
litical power ecclesiastical supremacy would
be greatly weakened.

General Chalmers, Republican Nominee for
Governor Of Mississippi, Throws up
the Sponge in Disgust

MANCHESTER, N. H. October S.-The in
ternational excursion party last night for
the first time in the experience of many of
the delegates and attaches of the interna-
tional American congress slept in the cars
of a p,cial train. The special train re-
@mained in the Boston and Maine railroad
station until a. M, when it was run slow
ly and without jolting to Manchester, and
the members of the party opened their
eyes in the state of New Hampshire, the
seventh of great American commonwealth
which they have seen.
The weather was delightful at the station
where Senator Blair, Reagan, Varney,
Messrs. Carpenter, Blood and others rep
resenting the great corporation of Man
chester, met the eXcursionists
These gentleman cordially well
coined the congress and in carriages the
guests were driven through the business
part of the town. There was much inter-
est to the foreigners in the ride. Immense
buildings devoted to the manufacture of
fabrics excited the liveliest interest Here
were the greatest shops in the world ac-
cording to statements made by members of
the committee who added that one of the
mills consumed more cotton
and indigo than any other concern
in all christendom. The foreign
visitors heard with amazement that in this
comparatively small city half million
spindles were whirling, and $4,000 looms
were weaving miles per day Of fabrics of
all kinds.
After looking over the factories the party
was escorted to the new mill, where, in one
half of "a great hall 400x100 feet, had been
arranged display of textile and other
goods produced in Manchester i'll half of
one working day. 1t made most formid
able showing in its extent, and was
moreover arranged SO as to make a most
attractive exhibition, ranging from blocks
of spruce wood and raw cotton to pitchers
water coolers, ETC., Of indurated wood fibre
and fine paper pretty checked and striped
cloths, needles, etc. When the exhibit had
been duly examined the party were seated
at luncheon furnished by the citizens, and
shortly after noon left Manchester on their
way to Portland, Me.

the murderer must have walked to the ta-
BILE near by and hastily scribbled the fol-
lowing admission of his guilt on three
pieces of brown paper, as they were found
in his vest pocket this morning: .s,

The AtchisOn Road.

BosToN, October Sex President Strong
ofthe Atchison road, says that the re
organization plan as it has been outlined
strikes him as very equitable arrange
ment, and he expresses the sincere hope
that it may be successful. Inquiry among
some of the large security holders of the
company indicates that they are disposed
to regard it favorably, but most of them
before giving pronounced opinion want
the full official details of the plan. The
same sentiment is expressed against the .
per cent income bond, many holding that
the rate should be per cent, or as first pro-
posed, 3 per cent. 1t is stated that under
its Kansas territorial charter the company
cannot assess its stock.
