HOME FOR DELUDED WOMEN.
The Industrial Home i'm Utah
Onposed by the Mormon Church.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The vice
president to-day laid before the senate
the report of the Utah commission n
the management of the Industrial Chris
tian Home of Utah territory. The re-
port says that up to Nov. 10 S35, 700 bad
been expended on the building. leaving
s;i4,291 of the appropriation OF $4,000
unexpendcd. The greater part OF this
balance will be required to improve the
surrounding grounds. The. commits
sion has paid out 81, AL for the neces-
sary expenses of the home and the sup
port of inmates since 1t assumed con-
troll, and about $1,000 will be expended
for furnishing tie home. The report
then proceeds:
The home is under the immediate manage
ment of board of ladies and gentlemen OF
broad and philanthropic views. who. without
the hope Of other reward than the approval
OF good conscience. are laborlng for the
rescue and to promote the interest of the wo-
men who have been deluded into and wish to
flee from polygamy and seek home i'll this
asylum, so bOunteously provided by the gov
ernment for their relief. These ladies are
eourageously working to break down the
prejudices of the Mormon church against the
institution, and to win the confidence Of
those for whom this shelter is erected They
are working to accomplish great reform
among people VINO c!lHS Will ISHS!ouo
fanaticism TO this relic of Asiatic barbarism.
The commission express no opinion as TO the
ultimate success of the home. 1t is an ex-
pertinent which only time can solve. As yet
few of those for whom the home was in
tended have sought to enter. and the number
seems to be lessening. Three women and
six children are now occupants of it. They
are abundaDly cared for and apparently
happy. The Mormon church is charged with
working against the institution, and the be-
lief is expressed that more women would
enter the home if the restrictions controlling
admission were less stringent.

RIG MONEY FOR SWORDS.
Gen. shields Widow Likely TO Re-
ceive $4,000 for Two Relics.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. = Secretary
Proctor is somewhat embarrassed over
the disbursement of $4,000, appropri
alton at the last session of congress to
nav the widow of the late Gen. Shields
for the two handsome swords presented
10 that officer, and now in the custody
of the treasury department.. The law
provides that he shall pay the ''actual
cost" of the swords, and the problem to
be solved is how this fact is to be eStab-
Iished. 1t is impossible to learn what
their donors paid for them, or to ascer-
tain IN regard TO their financial history.
Representative Mansur had an inter
view withsthe secretary on this subject
to-day, and it is probable that the widow
will receive the entire amount of the
appropriation on the theory that the
swords are worth that Hount.

CATHOLICS OPPOSE MORGAN.
Written Charges Filed Against

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The senate
committee on Indian affairs had up to
to-day the nomination of Indian Com
missioner Morgan. Father Stephan, di-
rector of the bureau of Catholic mis-
siOns. headquarters in this city. was
present and filed written charges
against Morgan, of prejudice toward
the Catholic schools and teachers under
the control of the Indian bureau. The
matter went over until after the recess
for final action. Father Stephan de-
clares that Commissioner Morgan has
made false issue in charging that the
Catholics bishops and the bureau of
Catholic Indian missions are opposed to
the system of government Indian
schools, and therefore opposed to his
(MOrgan's confirmation. This charge,
he asserts, is made by the commissioner
TO divert attention from his avOwed pur-
pose Of breaking down the system of
contract mission schools, and from his
military record.
