Chamber of Commerce.

SALT LAKE., Nov. 22-ln the Mormon in
yestigation to-day Mrs. Il. Smith, a
niece by marriage Of Joseph Smith, was
called as n witness by the church. She had
otiiciatcd in the endowment house, bu,
knew of no oath taken 10 avenge the blood
of Joseph aud Hiram Smith. Geo. q. Can
non, the noted Mormon leader, was called
by the prosecution and identified circu-
lar sent out by himself and John Taylor in
lSSs, calling ON the saints in this and ad-
joining territories 10 contribute 10 fund
for the defense Of the Mormons charged
with violating the Edmunds law, etc. Mrs.
Gilmore went through the endowment
house seventeen years ago with number Of
others, all of whom were called upon 10
nvenge the blood of Joseph and Hiram
Smith upon the American nation, and teach
it to their children and ohildren's children
to the fourth generation. Any one who
violated the oath or revealed the secrets
would be killed.
Henry W. Lawrence president OF the
Chamber of Commerce, testified that he be-

The Case Of the Times.

LONDON. Nov. 22.-The argument by Sir
Henry james was continued to-day. Re
ferring TO the moonlighters in Ireland, he
said they acted more like burglars than like
police Of the league. Their actions were
not reproyed by leaders Of the lengue. II
was not until February. 1886, when the Par
nellite members Of the house we're support
ing the government that the leaders of the
league refused TO grant money 10 certain
district, owing 10 the outrages committed
therein.
Sir Henry briefly touched upon the forged
letters. He declarded that every one CON
nected with the Times WIS interested in
proving the genuineness # the letters.
Justice Hannen recalled the suggestions Of
Sir Charles Russell that Mr.. Buckle, editor
of the Times, neither approved nor author
lied the publication Of the letters. Sir
Henry replied that MIR. Buckle does not
now and never has desired 90 stand HloOf
from his colleagues. Whatever might be
brought against the Times, ia bOnatics pro
duction Of the letters could not be ques-
toned.
Sir Henry referred TO the murder Of Po-
Iicemen Brettby, Almnn, Gould and Iarkin
near Manchester in 1861. He said the mnr-
derers had been held up ms heroes, worthy
OF imitation. Davitt himself had unveiled
a monument 10 their memory. and there
was ample evidence that the example Of
these murderers had been lauded as worthy
Of being followed.

adopted republican institutions. III this
great change had been accomplished IN
Brazil without bloodshed, wait for the an

THE LAW IN TENAS.
Federal Onicials and State Officers Not
Working Together

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Attorney-Genc
Miller has received long report from the
United States marshal for the northern dis
trict of Texas, regarding the difficulty of
administering federal laws in consequence
of feeling of hostility ON the part of GER
tain state afiicials. The trouble arose from
steps taken by the federal officers for the
protection of the four Marlowe brothers,
held as government witnesses. A portion
of the community became exasperated at
these men and attempted TO wreak sum-
mary vengeance upon them. As the Jail al
Graham was not secure, the federal officers
started 10 remove them TO a safer place.
They had not proceeded far when they were
attacked by n mob. Two of the
Marlowes were killed on the first
onslaught, when the other two wrest-
ed knives from their assailants,
amputated the feet Of the dead brothers To
whom they were manacled, aVt fled To
farm house, where they held The mob at
bay until assistance arrived. Three OF the
mob were killed and number wounded.
Among those who have been indicted for
completely in this attack ON government
prisoners are two constables, the sheriff
and deputy sheriff of this county, an at
torney and a son of the county Judge. The
district attorney says if the processes of the
court are prostituted 20 shield from prose
cution those who in this manner defy the
laws of the United States, respect for such
process must cease. The municipal gov
eminent of the young county not only fails
TO provide suitable Jail for the use of the
United States court. but its officers are IN
violent antagonism thereto. lie does not
see how they can avoid the necessity of
armed men at Graham during the sessions
of the United States, and he makes nm ap-
peal that congress remove the court TO some
% .hav

A NEW COAL DISCOVERY.
Five Feet of Bituminous Coal Found Two
Miles From Missoula.

MIssouLA, Nov. 2l.-lSpecial. Much ex-
citement prevails here over discovery of
coBl two miles north of this city, which has
been made public for the first time to-day.
A five-foot vein of bituminous coal has been
under development for the past two months,
but nothing was said about il until its real
merit was determined. The coal has been
brought to an actual test by Hon. Frank
Higgins, who is the owner of the claim. He
il satisfied that il is equal to the best that
Pennsylvania produces, and has il now in
use in heating up the large Higgins bank
building. Fifty tons of the coal have been
extracted, and the vein widens as IL is ex-
plored. Plenty of coal is known TO exist in
the upper Flathead regions, but there are at
present no means Of conveying il 10 this
point at a cheap rate. The owners propose
developing their discovery on large scale.
