THE GREAT DISASTER AT QUEBEC.
sThe Work of Excavation Twelve
Feet Under the Debris-The Mass OF
e Rocks That Fell.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-The Utah election
commission are at work at the Lelaau
hotel to-day on their annual report 10 the
secretary of the interior. The work Oh the
sub committee drafting the report Will
probably be finished this afternoon
ane submitted to the full commits
sion, 1t will be voluminous document
Said General Robertson at noon: I'm
general way the report will not differ
greatly from those previously made by the
commission"
1t is understood the report will largely
set forth Governor Robertson's views on
religion and politics.
Colonel Godfrey was interviewed by a
local paper.
"Can you state something of the present
situation in Utah, having been there
IatelyN'
Il would rather not. Everybody in the
city of Salt Lake is breathlesly awaiting
the outcome, of the strife between Mormons
and Gentiles."
ssWil the report of the commission tend
directly or indirectly toward regulating
elections in Salt Lake city, so that the Cen
tiles hitherto cast into the shade by their
scheming brethren the Mormons, maysecure
a majority in the council and thus make
their influence felt!'
''Now you are asking question to which
[ must not frame an answer. Congress, OF
course, will act upon our wire reports
under the provisions of the Edmunds law.
What that body will do l cannot say, but 1t
Is almost an assured thing that if the cleo
tons are carried out under the new rules
the result will be beneficial to the gen
tiles
at has been said that polygamy is dying
out in Utah, colonel. Did you give the
matter any special attention, and can you
give the public any infOrmatiOn!'
"Well, it may be so. Well, don't think
[ had better talk any further. We will
end our session to-day, perhaps, but not a
word of our report will we give out to the
public"
1t is understood the recent Salt Lake
election will be dwelt on. Owing tC pecu-
lar municipal regulations, uncilmembers
are compelled TO secure their election by q
majority of the votes cast in the entire
city. For this reason the gentle wards
nave not been able to obtain representation.
The commission, it IS understood, will re-
commend additional legislation. 1t is also
understood that recommendations may be
made that some of the territorial and county
A7ficers and superintendentS Of district
schools he appointed by the President or
Governor; that the district courts be given
greater power of jurisdiction in cases of
pOlygamy; eXempting prosecutions for such
0ffenses from the statute of limitations ;
that fbe penal Otfense for woman to
enter the polygamous relation and extend
ing the term of Imprisonment for such; de
priving polygamists of the right of entering
and acqu ring public lands; forbidding
the immigration of those believing in polyg
amy and the adoption of q law similar to
what is known as the Idaho law, disfran-
chising persons who belong TO any organi-
zation which teaches and upholds polygamy.

From Arctic Seas.

New BEDFORD, Sept 20-The report of
Lieutenant Commander Stockton, of the
United States steamer Thetis, to the navy
department concerning the loss of the Lit
tie Ohio on this portion of the Arctic
ocean, encloses a letter from John Kelly,
an employee at Hope, on the American coast
of the Arctic ocean, which gives facts never
before made public. This letter states
that October opened with fresh north
east wind, the ground was frozen and the
temperature ranged from 10 to % and the
ground was white with snow. Just before
the blizzard began the Ohio was off Cape
Lisburne, land being plainly in sight. Mas
siye rollers struck the vessel with great
violence, lifting her up and throwing
her closer in, the spray leaping clear over
the lower yarde. Captain Allen had Or
dered the mast cut away, but man could
not stand anywhere without holding with
one or both hands. A few men went up
the main mast and several up the
mizZen, and many sought shelter about the
cabin tops and between the galley and
cabin entrance. The house fell entrapping
the men underneath and then the ship
broke in three parts about the miZzen and
except for part Of the bow the Ohio disI
appeared. Thirteen men were carried
ashore by the water through the
flying debris and three men came
down on dry land from the
main mast when it went over.
The men sought shelter with the natives,
who agreed to care for them until ship
would take them Off Two flags were set

their boat probably being swamped. Late

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. ga grand bar
becue and permanent organization of the
Chickamauga Memorial ASSOCIATION took
place to-day at Crawfsh springs, on the
edge of the famous battlefield, fully %, 900
persons being present. The blue and grey
were together. The past was forgotten.
Governor Gordon, of Georgia, made an ad-
dress of welcome in an eloquent vein. In
the course of his speech he said: Speak
ing for those l am called to repre-
sent, l pledge their earnest cooper
alton in the sacred mission which
convenes you, and in all things
which pertain to the peace, welfare and
unity of the American people. In their
name proclaim their eternal fealty to the
American constitution, to the American
republic, to the American union of stars
from which they withdrew for their safety,
but which now that the causes of dissen-
sions are gone, they will Loyalty and
bravely Defend Tor their future protection.
We are here to unite with you in the final
and eternal sepulchre of sectional hOstil-
ity."
The address was responded to by General
RoSecranS, who spoke feelingly of the
grand sight presented by the old confed-
crate and federal soldiers setting side by
side engaged in friendly converse. He
prayed God that the day would soon come
when the last vestige of feeling over the
war would be eradicated, and believed this
scene was an augury of the glorious success
of the project to make Chickamauga's bat
tlefeld for national park.
A permanent organization of the associa-
ton was then projected. The officers
are: President, General J. L. Wilder, of
Tennessee; vice-president, General Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama; secretary, General
Marcus j. Wright, of Washington; trea-
surer, General J. L. Fullerton, of St Louis.
A board of directors was elected with an
equal number of members from the union
and confederate side

The Two a.0OO.ton Crnisers.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-The navy depart
ment is already actively preparing to build
the two 5000 ton ships, In the construc-
ton bureau advertisements for materials
are being prepared and will be published
in short time. Both the construction
and engineering bureaus are of the opinion
the vessels can be built within the limit of
cost fixed by Congress, and they are conf
dent that such will be the case
il allowances are made for pre-
miums that would have to be paid
to contractors for excess of speed. The
boilers for the vessels are larger than those
in the Baltimore, whilst the vessels them
selves are much smaller. Should the ma
chinery come up to the expectation, the
vessels willmake at least 2015 knots. For
this excess above 10 1knots required
by law, the government would be obliged
to pay private ship builders S300000.
