Hearing Before the House Committee
on Territories To-day.

The House committee on territories devoted
the session this morning to hearing arguments
upon the claims of Utah for admission as a
state of the Union. The element seeking the
admission of the territory was represented by
Delegate Cain. Franklin s. Richards and j. NJ
Wilson attorney In opposition were arrayed
Judge Baskins, Governor West, Mr.. Ferry and
Judge Mcbride.
Mr.. RICHARDS ADVOCATES THE ADMISSION Oh
Mr.. Richards opened the argument in
an address, in which he briefly told
of the sentiment of Utah and the
hardships and suffering undergone by pion.
GERS in that country. He spoke of the growth
of the territory in material resources and
manufactures. and pointed to the large pro-
portionof people in the territory who owned
their homes as compared with other sections O,
the country. He defended the patriotism of
the inhabitants. citing the efforts Of their an.
cestors in war. Touching the charges that
have been made relative to the practice O,
polygamy. he declared that since the passage
of the act of 1882 there had been
ONLY TEN CONVICTIONS FOR NEW PLURAL MAR.
RIAGEs,

had. having resulted in cases where the mar.
riages had been contracted before the enact.
ment of the law. Mr.. Richards also
ATTACKED THE GOVERNOR OF THE TERRITORY.
accusing him of incorporating the position
and intentions of the mormon inhabitants Of
Utah, and of perverting facts generally in the
interest of the gentiles. He characterized al
absurd the
DIME-SovEL STORIES OF WOMEN ATROCITIES,
and asserted that there was no danger to be
apprehended by the Gentle property holders Of
Utah In the admission of the territory az q
state. Property would be protected under the
state constitution as it had been under the
constitution of the territory. He spoke with
some asperity of the rabid Gentiles Gas he
called them Who opposed the movement of ad
mission, denouncing them as visionary en-
thusiasts or something worse, and DECLARING
that IL they had their will and secured the an
polntment of the commission, they desired L

He did not mean to censure all of the Gen
tiles who had signed the petitions, as many O
them had done 20 under coercion, and wer,

THE CASE OF GENERAL SWAIN.
The Presidents Powers in the Matter.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
There is a curious error i'm the statement con-
tanned in to-day's STAR that the President can
get rid of Judge Advocate General Swain by
securing the confirmation Of a successor. The
power which the President has of dismissing
an officer without trial in time of war is taken
away from him in time of peace by statute law.
The fact that Gen. Swain does not exercise the
functions or draw the full salary of his office
makes him none the less the duly con-
firmed and commissioned Judge advocate
general of the army, and no one can
be nominated, confirmed and commissioned
in his place until he is first out of service
The idea that the President can create a hole
for peg by forcing the peg that fills the hole
now down with a new peg is absurd. This
cannot be done with commissioned officers of
the army. In making his nomination the Pres
ident Is required to announce a vacancy and
specify its cause thus: nominate - =,
vice Swain, retired, deceased. promoted dis
missed, resigned as the case may be. He
could in this case give no cause whatever
Could he, in the manner stated by you, force
an officer out of service, the law prohibiting
dismissal without trial by cOurt-martial would
be nullified. APPOINTMENT.
