Beaver myself. but I am informed that this
is the position he takes.
PAYING THE STATE DEBT.


"The tax on manufacturing corporations
would bring about $500, 900 into the State
Treasury. This amount is badly needed,
according to all accounts, and if it does not
come in the charitable institutions, for
which the State is in the habit of appropri-
ating money, will have to try to get along
without it. Our Allegheny county people
won't like this. We have quite number
of good institutions for which the State ap-
propriates money"
Is there no other way, Senator, than by
finding some new subject of taxation or in
creasing taxes on something already taxed
that this necessary money can be raised 2"
II think myself that there is. The Con-
stitution only requires the State to pay $780,
900 per year into the sinking fund to pay
the State debt There is no special need to
provide for the debt any faster than the
constitutional requirement The money
only accumulates in the State banks, be-
cause the owners of bonds refuse to sell
them even at good premium. Our debt Is
only small one, and no one is clamoring
for its payment. We might stop providing
for it so. fast, and then we would have
plenty Of money for our charitable institu-
tions. The Governor is anxious to make
better record than Pattison on the payment
of the State debt
But can't the Legislature make law
covering the point?"
1--WE might do it with two-thirds ma
jority." SIMPSON.

been indicated by my fathers letter to several
Southern men on the subject.

B. Grass, manager of the Singer Sewing
Machine Agency on the Southside, is con-
iderably exercised over the receipt of the
"White Cap" letters which have been sent
him. About two weeks ago he received one,

Mr. CRAsS-Having failed to comply with
the notice sent you two weeks ago, you are
hereby notified to leave the Southside imme-
diately. If you fail this time you will certainly
be dealt with according to the custom of the

SUPREME COMMANDER.
The first letter was received on st. Valen-

the skull and crossbones, Mr.. Grass took the
matter as a joke; but the letter received
Yesterday was ornamented with the skull

Late in Winter.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ArcH.
LocKPoRT, NY, February PA howl
ing blizzard has prevailed throughout West
ern New York all day. The thermometer
dropped below zero last night, and
to-day the heavy gale, with fine
snow, was like sand, and fully
as heavy. 1t has drifted i'll some places from
10 to Is feet deep. Trains are from 8 to Z
hours late. Passenger train No. 9 was stalled
between Murray and Holley for three hours.
Five engines pulled her out. The drifts
were over the car windows. Several
men started to walk to Murray, and suffered
intensely from the cold. AS fast as one was
stuck in drift the others would form line
and pull him out. Some hot drinks we're
sent over by the farmers, and the passengers
relieved.
The wind has subsided and the trains are
moving. The Rome, Watertown and Og-
densburg has abandoned its western divis-
ion entirely.

BERLIN, February 23.-It may interest
Americans to know that the movement of
German ships in the direction of Samoa is
universally looked upon by Englishmen as
intended to frighten America into giving
way in that direction, and the future is
looked forward to with some anxiety.
The announcement at the War Office that
The United States will send two military at
taches over here with the next Minister is
also exciting interest, and, of course, no diff
iculty is found in showing that this is in
dicative of a desire to get ready to meet
Bismarck at his own game.

receive 10 per cent OF any verdict the plain
tiff might receive and their travelling ex-
penses. Being augered ut receiving only SO
apiece they hunted up Mr.. Waggener, told
him their story and gave him the contract.

DETAlLS.OF THE ARIZONA MASSACRE.
FLORENCE, Ariz., Nov. "details of the
killing of officers by the prisoners yester-
day have been received here. The sheriff
had removed the shackles from the legs Of
six of the Indians before they started to
walk up the grade, but they were hand
cuffed together by the wrists. Sheriff
Reynolds was in front of the column, and
Deputy Holmes and the Mexican prisoner
were in the rear of the column. At a
signal from one of the Indians the sheriff
was seized by the two Immediately back of
him, while the two Immediately in front of
the deputy wheeled about ana secured his
gun, with which, after killing him, they
shot the sheriff, who was being held by
their companions. During the melee the
Mexican prisoner ran forward to the stage.
which was about forty yards to the front,
and warned the driver. The latter drew
his pistol. but was shot twice. by the In
dians. the first bullet ranging to the top of
his head, the other passing through the
lower part of his face. After securing the
keys TO the shackles and removing them,
the Indians mutilated the body of Rey-
nolds, crushing in his skull in a horrible
manner. They then disappeared. The
stage driver, after recovering sufficiently,
walked back to the Riverside and gave the
alarm. The Mexican prisoner, after he
had warned the driver ran toward the
hills. He was fired at several times, but
not hit After the Indians had left, he
secured horse, rode to Florence and gave
himself up. 1t is thought, as the sheriff
of Pinalo county and his posse are nine
hours behind the murderers, that there is
little prospect of the latter being captur-
ed. Troops have been ordered out from
Apache, San Carlos, Fort Mcdowell and

THE CONTEST IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The greater in
terest in the elections to be held in this
state tomorrow centers in the result of the
balloting for members of the legislature
1t is the Republican ambition this year to
increase it to a two-thirds majority. so
that it will be possible to pass measures
over the Democratic governors vetoes.
On the other hand the Democrats hope to
r,duce the Republican majority and if
possible to wipe it out entirely. 1t is pos
sible that they may succeed in the first re-
spect, but will hardly be able to effect
such change as the securing of ma
jority would involve; particularly as the
effofts made in New York City between
Tammany Hall and the County Democracy
organizations on legislative candidates
proved in some cases failure. The state
officers to be chosen are secretary of state,
comptroller, state treasurer, attorney gen.
eral, state engineer and judge of the
court appeals.

UTAH'S MORMONS.
They Own and Control the Principal Part
of the Territory.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE governor of
Utah has made his report to the president.
The counties under the apportionment in
1887 under the Edmunds-Tucker act, he
says. have since outgrown these apportion-
ments. He therefore requests that con-
gress be asked to authorize a new appor-
tionment to be made Immediately after
taking of the next national census and by
the same federal agency.
Speaking of the Gentle strength in the
territory, the governor says: 1.-The time
may come when the Gentiles will be in the
majority, but it will be many years hence.
The facts are that outside of Salt Lake
City and Ogden the Gentle population is
found in the mining camps and in the
smaller railroad towns. They are princi-
pally engaged in mercantile and profess
sional business. In Salt Lake and Ogden
they own more than one-half the real
property. The great bulk of the population
OF Utah is and always will be in the valleys
Nearly all the lands under cultivation and
the water that can be used to lrrigate
without great expense is owned and APP
propriated by the Mormons and as they
hold and own the land and water, they
hold and own Utah.
The governor writes at length upon the
present attitude OF the Mormon people.
They have accepted the doctrine of poly
gamy, he says. and will probably adhere to
It as long as they live and it Is but a very
poor tribute to their honesty to say they
have abandoned it. A firm, religious en-
thusiasm is their leading characterize
and as rule they are law-abiding, espec-
tally as far as the law Is supported by the
priesthood, but they accept the doctrine Of
plural marriage in all sincerity and as
radical and necessary part Of their relig-
ion. 1T may be as well to understand"
continues the governor, that the strength
in its imposture.
The Mormon church, the governor says
actively engages in politics and then adds:
Il do not hesitate TO say that any temper
iZing policy which leaves the church in a
position to control the political policy of
the territory is only delaying the final
settlement and the future legislation
should be aimed at the political power of
the church, which has been the main pillar
of its strength in Utah"
