proportion Of the inhabitants Of the Ter
ritory were unable to speak or under
stand the English language. N, blame
should be attached to them for that, but
he contended that until these people
came up to the line of that language and
American civilization, they were not en-
titled to statehood.
Voorhees,, of Washington, voiced the
demand of people of that Territory for
admission into the Union. At the recent
election, the question of admission had
been burning issue. So keenly had the
people resented the delay of this House
in responding to their continual appeal
for Statehood that pronounced Repub-
lican majority had been the result.
Mansur, of Missouri, advocated the
admission OF New Mexico, asserting that
her people were fully capable Of self
government.
Hermann, of Oregon, favored ths
speedy admission of those Territories
which by reason of their population and
natural resources, were entitled to State
hood.
Dubois, OF Idaho, said that while the
Territory which he represented was moi
now asking for admission into the Union
it did ask for an enabling act which
would fix definite time when it coulc
assume the responsibilities OF Statehood

A PLEA FOR THE MORMON.
Delegate Cafne. of Utah, Argues In
Favor of Admission.


WASHINGTON, January 16.-Delegate
Caine was heard to-day in favor of the
admission of Utah as State. He de-
clared that Utah possessed every require
ment for admission, and that the people
are largely descendants of the best stock
OF New England and the Middle States.
There was never any resistance to
Federal authority in Utah, and more
over no thought of it. 1t was not true
that the majority of the people of Utah
had long deied the authority of the
United States, as expressed in its
statutes, by practicing polygamy. The
majority Of the people of Utah, or the
majority of the majority, did not practice
polygamy. The opposition, he says,
coming from the Territory is fomented
and kept alive by unscrupulous men.
He did not include among
them conservative Gentiles who
mind their own business and are
willing to live and let live. The motive
of the agitators in Utah was to obtain
the rule for themselves. Being in the
minority they wanted the majority pro-
scribed. They steadily resisted every
attempt to bring about even business re-
lations with the majority. He described
the efforts of the people of Utah to settle
forever the polygamy question and
pledged his honor that the constitution
they had formed was in good faith. He
maintained that there was no church
domination in politics or anything else
and that the alleged recent prosecutions
we're not for polygamy, but for associa-
ton with wives married many years ago
in many cases the defendants voluntarily
submitting to the law, proving their ac
ceptance of the inevitable. He
was frequently interrupted by Governor
West and gothers, and answered thei
questions promptly. He occupied ar
hour and half and the committee ad
journed till tomorrow, when Caine viii
continue his arguments.

IMAGINARY DYNAMITE.
1 Mares Nest UneartHei by til
New York stHerald.D

ST. LOUIS, January 16.-Referring to
the dynamite plot story published in the
New York Herald to-day, advices have
been received from Kansas City to the
effect that, on December 22d, Chief of
Police Speers received a telegram from
the Herald asking if Mark l.. Kilbourne,
representative of that paper, had been
killed in an accident. Nothing was
known of Kilbourne, nor has anything
been heard of him until to-day, when a
note was left at the business office of the
Star purporting to be from Kilbourne
himself, and stating that he was alive and
we'll and had been in Colorado on Sc
cret mission which would soon be made
public. The Pinkerton and Mooney and
Boland detective agencies profess abso-
late ignorance of the Herald's reported
plot and deny that English detectives
had been in this city, or that Pinkerton's s
men were engaged in any such business.

little about this matter" said the Rev.
Charles O'Reilly, the Treasurer of the

ing, referring to the New York Herald g
dynamite story. II suppose it is some
stupid scheme of English SPIES" DIR.
O'Reilly said he had known of the pres
ence of several English detectives in this
country. In fact, one had tried, at one
time, to obtain employment as his
(O'Reilly's) private secretary. DR..
O'Reilly had, on several occasions, re-
ceived threatening letters of foolish ma
ture, which he had paid no attention to-.
He had regarded them as the work of
British emissaries, but why they were
sent to him he could not comprehend.

THE general features of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration will 60 down to
history as admirable in the extreme.
The President has always approved him
self an American of Americans; and, in
a downright. honest conception OF the
duties of his exalted position, he has
never been surpassed. On all occasions
which have really risen to the dignity of
a crisis, like the difficulties on the
Isthmus of Panama three years ago, and
in Haytien waters, the other day, he has
responded to the demands of the hour
with force and dignity. The only mis-
take he has made personally in dealing
with our relations abroad was in attach
ing too much importance to the silly
Murchison letter. 1t was not worthy the
attention of the American citizen; and,
in elevating it to an affair of interna-
tional importance, great mistake was
made, highly notifying to our national
pride,

Next Week.

Next week.
On Monday night Joseph Grismer and
Phoebe Davies will appear at the Grand
after long absence. They will present
Forgiren and The World against Her. OF
the opening piece the San Francisco
Examiner says:
The Alcazar held a very large audience
last night to witness the initial perform
ance in San Francisco of Clay Greene's
play, Forgiren.
The story is not entirely a new one,
but that need not be a hindrance to its
success. When they are we'll handled
no one tires of those husbands and wives
who are separated by mistakes, misun-
derstandings or even by crimes, if they
only love each other fervently and come
together after many years in way that
satisfies the universal love of the
dramatic and romantic. In this case the
husband takes the lions share of the in
terest with him, and in that particular
the play is star play. But gentle Annie
Denisou fills the mind of the auditor
throughout the four acts, for when
"Jack" is not talking to her he is talk
ing OF her, and therefore these two-hus-
band and wife-in happiness, in estrange-
ment, and in final reconciliation, sur
rounded though they are by a group Of
earnest and humorous people, have the
first place in the hearts and the memories
of the audience while the play is in
progress and long after the curtain comes
down.

Trouble Anticipated by the Ameri-
can COnlul There.


WASHINGTON, January 16.-Adamson,
United States Consul General at Panama,
on the End instant received a commune
cation from the General Department of
Panama stating that although the local
government would do all in its power to
preserve peace and order, it feared that
disturbances of the public peace might
follow suspension of work on the Panama
Canal, which suspension is expected
soon. In transmitting this information
to the State Department, Adamson says :
"We appear to be on the verge of acrisis
and grave results may we'll be appre-
hended. Fortunately there are COM
parativelv few Americans employed
upon the canal. but those few
will surely demand my aid. What
ever may occur l shall do my best for
the protection of American interests
here, and hope to merit continuance of
the kind support heretofore given to me-"
The Secretary of the State, in his re-
port to the President says: ''It will be
remembered that, in 1856, it became
necessary for the United States to send
sufficient force to the Isthmus for the
purpose of performing their duty under
the treaty to suppress disorder at that
point.
The President to-day transmitted the
correspondence to Congress.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-17

THE collapse of De Lesseps' Panama
Canal bubble seems to be imminent,
judging from dispatch which appears
elsewhere from Mr.. Adamson, United
States Consul General to the Columbian
Government. He looks for a reign of
lawlessness as an incident OF the suspen-
sion of work on that ill-starred enter
prise. Americans can confidently look
to. Mr.. Cleveland's administration to
sustain the rights of American citizens
abroad. There is something melancholy
in this fasco of this, at one time, great
Frenchman, but those who a-e kindly
disposed will remember that this puis-
saint engineer is now "a years old.
Gregory the Great was just that age when
he was elected Roman Pontiff and did
great things, and Dandolo WAS even older
when he triumphantly asserted the su-
supremacy of Venice as Queen
of the Adriatic and arbiter of
the commerce of the world; but
such men are few in the centuries. The
performances of George Law and Perrier
fail in comparison with the wreck and
ruin De Lesseps has scattered in his

Petitions Acted Upon at the Meet

The Police Commissioners met yester-
day, Mayor Bryson in the chair. The
following transfers of saloon licenses were
granted: From Steineke & Bruning to

The petition of E. Flood to carry a con-

On motion of Mr.. Kuhrts it was ordered
that if jailor Bedford does not pay bill
for his uniform by the LIST of February

Chief Cooney reported the resignation
of officer E. T. East. J. @. Merry was
appointed in his place.
Chief Cooney reported having appoint
ed G. H. Jennings and J. G. Glidden as
specials.
The petition of o. D. Buck to be sworn
in as special officer was denied.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-17

JOE TooLE, the handsome Democratic
delegate from Montana, has made pow
erful argument for the admission of Mon
tana as q State. If Montana should be
admitted Joe would probably turn up as
one of its two United States Senators,
which would not be bad thing either
for Joe or the nascent State. The HERALD
hopes that the Territories of Washington,
Montana, Dakota. New Mexico, and even
Utah, will be admitted as States. If the
Democratic party and the Christian re-
ligion can't stand the strain, so much the
worse for both. After the admission of
these Territories, make the election of
United States Senator depend upon vote
of the people, and then nobody will be
hurt much.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-17

For the first time in its history Della
ware elected Republican United States
Senator yesterday in the person of An
thony Higgins. This is not great
compliment to Mr.. Bayard, but then no.
body seems much in the humor of COM
plimenting the urbane Secretary of State
lately. Too much toadyism to Sir Jo-
seph Chamberlain and his associates on
the Fisheries Commission, and too much
rudeness to Sir Lionel Sackville- West
seems to have hit Mr.. Bayard in the
midriff between wind and water, so tc
speak. 1t is hard commons when the
chief of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet cannot
keep his own State in line, and his State
one of the heretofore "solid South" a
that.
