ers Of Raw Material.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 2l.-The Fed.
eral Steel Company, gigantic corpora
ton formed for the purpose of combin.
ing all wire, wire nail and barbed wire

ready that the new concern has such n
hold that the rod mills will take no or.
ders to be filled after January |.

STANLEY Is ALL RIGHT
In a Few Days He Will Be at
Zanzibar.
ANOTHER VALUABLE DISCOVERY
1t Appears That There Is an Ex-
tension of Lake Victoria
Nyanza.

LONDON, Nov. 2l.-Mackinnon, head
of the Emin Pasha relief committee, has
received cablegram from Henry NJ,
Stanley announcing his arrival at Nep-
wapwa, and stating that he expects to
reach Zanzibar i'm four or five DAYS
Stanley's dispatch also states that he has
made an important discovery. There is
an extension of Lake Nyanza.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
LONDON, Nov. 2l.-The British consul
at Zanzibar telegraphs to the foreign
office Stanley arrived at Nepwapwa on
the tifty-fifth day after his departure
from Victoria Nyanza and the 1Ssth day
after leaving Albert Nyanza. Stanley
left Nepwapwa on the 18th, travelling
toward the coast by way of keniba and
Mweni. He made an unexpected dis
covery of real value in finding an extern
sion of the Victoria Nyanza toward the
southeast, which brings 1t within los
miles OF LakeTangsnyiki. The area of
the extension is 5000 miles.
Stanley has with him 750 persons, of
whom 300 are Emin's followers. Stanley
lost only eighteen men during the march
from Victoria Nyanza, He had four days
lighting near Usukafna.

gorgeously colOred "wheel of for
tune" Here Is where the crowd Of
workingmen Is thickest. Four men
are In constant attendance mt the
three layouts. The surging throng
Is kept ut II distance by rough
board railing, and the excitement Is
tremendous.
Turning to the left again is a rou-
lette wheel. The fascinating game
of Europe has but few attractions
for the Westerner. He hardly un-
derstands the game, and the crowd
around the long table Is small
compared with the chuck-a-luck
boards near by. Another bfr,
and rondeau board, and
you came to the keno room. Four
long tables with men sitting close
together, barely having enough ell
bow room to place the little paste
board discs on the number of the
cards as the croupier calls, In that
slow, monotonous, almost sepulchral
tone, the numbers of the balls
dropped from the bottle.
The patronage Is from 800 on n
dull night to 1000 on Saturday
nights, and the profits must have
been simply enormous. OF course 1t
takes man Of truly remarkable
ability to manage such n business,
and Dutch Jake was the man.

THE MORMON INIQUITY
An Oath Takn to Avenge the
Killing Of the Smiths.
TERRIBLE And BLOODY SECRETS
How Mormons Were to Teach
Their Children to the Third
and Fourth Gelieration.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 21.-ln the Mormon
investigation to-day Mrs. b. Smith,
niece by marriage of Joseph Smith, was
called as a witness. She had officiated
In the endowment house, but knew of
no oath taken to avenge the blood of
Joseph and Hiram Smith.
George q. Cannon, the noted Mormon
leader, was called by the prosecution
and identified the circular sent out by
himself and John Taylor in 1885 calling
on the saints in this and adjoining terri
tories to contribute to fund for the de-
fense of Mormons charged with vio-
lating the Edmunds law, etc.
Mrs. Gilmore went through the en-
dowment house seventeen years ago
with number of others, all of whom
were called upon TO swear to avepge the
blood of Joseph and Hiram Smith upon
the American, nation, and teach IL to
their children and children's children to
the fourth generation. Any one who
violated the oath or revealed the secrets
was to be killed.
Henry W. Lawrence, president of the
chamber of commerce, testified that he
became n Mormon in childhood; came
70 Y tan thirty-nine years ago; ofiiciatcd
In the endowment house several years
and was communicated in 1863 for
questioning the right OF the priesthood
to dictate IN temporal affairs. Persons
going through the endowment house
always took the oath of vengeance.
There was another covenant to obey the
priesthood In all things and the penalty
OF death WAS attached to Il violation of
the covenants or revealing the secrets of
the house.
In the time Of Brigham Young the
priesthood was supreme and Young
controlled the people in all things. The
church was in opposition to the govern
ment and the feelings OF the people were
being alienated more and more. Wit
ness and some others started a magazine
to disseminate more advanced ideas, and
were tried before a council of priests with
George z. Cannon as prosecutor and ex-
communicated. twas claimed for the
church that it was the literal kingdom
of God, its jurisdiction extending to all
things. 1t was expected to control the
whole earth in time and then Christ was
to come in person and take charge.
When witness was communicated
he was doing business of $15, 900 or S20,-
900 a month, but after the trial his bus
iness fell oil greatly and he was socially
ostracised. Cross.eaamination failed to
shake Lawrences testimony. Penrose
has not yet filed his statement and the
court ruled this afternoon that the iu-
vestigation be closed until Penrose
purges himself Of contempt.

WORK OF BOTH HOUSES
A Detailed Report Of the
Legislative Proceedings.
The SENATE ADOPTS ITS RULES.
A Number of Bills Introduced in
the House-Their OBJ
jects-Etc.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Nov. 2l.--The senate
met at 1.
The report of the special committee on
rules was read and adopted.
After providing that the committee on
claims be made joint committee, the
senate then took up the report of the
committee on rules.
Rinehart thought that rule was not
In order, as the constitution provided
that president pro tenn be elected for
each session of the senate. 1t was con-
sidered as fling at President pro tenn
Parkinson, but no action was taken.
A considerable discussion took place
over rule 8, which was drawn in such n
manner as to require the signatures of
the whole committee to report, and
compelled the minority to file q report
also and state their objections.
Houghton thought that the chair
mans name would be sufficient on a
pelling the minority to make q report
Owings wanted to put the members on
record, and favored letting the rule stand
as ii was.
Whally also favored the rule as it
stood, and Parkinson was In favor of
daylight. The rule if adopted, would
place everybody on record, and he was
Ill idNOT Ol uOlHB u.
Senator Kneeland wanted the rule to
stand.
Long had known of committee reports
being made by the chairman of a COM
mittee without any meeting ever being
held. This rule would avoid any such
proceedings.
Wood finally offered a substitute,
VIII ich required the chairman of q COM
mittee to sign the report and name the
members who concurred therein, which
was adopted,
On the question as to whether the mi.
nority should be compelled to file re-
port, the roll was called and II was de-
cided twenty to twelve that the minority
may file their objections.
Senator kinnear moved to strike out
section 20 of the rules proposed, provid-
ing that one days notice shall be given
of the introduction of a bill, unless by
the consent of a majority of the senate.
He was opposed to this restriction. One
of the primary rights Of members was to
introduce bills when they had them
ready. Carried.
Senator Payne moved that the mem
bership of the committee on granted
school lands and state tide lands be in
creased9rom five to seven. Carried.
The rules with amendments were then
adopted.

n prescription OF mo Games ana
Sights In spokane's Great Resort.
Dutch Jake's, beer hall, chop

combined will probabaly be unique
IN the gambling history of the
Northwest. Every one who has

running through two hundred feet
to Main street known to all and
among the first places of interest
pointed out to strangers, AS "Dutch

selves. For the benefit of those
who have not, the following descrip-
ton Is given:
Entering from Riverside avenue,
you first see a fruit stand. To the
right and u little further In Is the
long bar, with the usual apparatus
for beer on tap behind 1t. Passing
by this, and the real scene Is laid
out. The first glance Is
bewildering: a long hall lighted
by numberless incandescent
lamps, full of men, true types of
the miner, logger and cowboy, with
here and there a stolid visaged In
dian, and the ever present sleek
looking Chinaman, Is about all that
Is dlstingulshable.
The atmosphere Is heavy with to-
bacco smoke, and almost sitting
with the smell from broilers and
grill irons; for on your immediate
left Is long lunch counter, and be-

feeding an army,
As your senses become accustomed

of the restaurant. In your right all

WESTERN UNION sCORCHED.
Tho Large Building In New York
Considerably Damaged.

New York, Nov. 2l,-The Western
Union building caught fire this morning
and at 4;20 the Bnemen began work in
the tower, the flames increasing in in.
tensity and great crowd being assem-
bled In the streets. At $50 the fire was
under control aid rushing streams of
water supplemented the damage
done by smoke aud flames. The water
flowed over the floors and nearly all of
the offices on the upper stories were
deluged. Employes were busiiy engaged
with brooms, and doors were closed to
keep it from running down stairs.
The experience OF this fire has proven
that the stand pipes In the building are
useless at this height and that 1t takes
FULLY an hour TO get line Of hose in
working order up TO the top of the build
ing The damage to the building Is
5000 and to the stock $1,000.

FOR THE NEW COUNTY.

Proceedings OF the Division Convsn-
tion Held at Rosaiia on Wednesday.
j. Monroe Heaton of Latah, who
was In the city on his way home
from Rosalia, where he attended the
county division convention on
Wednesday, furnished the REVIEW
with the following report of the pro-
ceedings:
David Anderson of Rosalia was
elected chairman of the convention,
and Editor King of the Tekoa Globe
was chosen secretary.
The convention decided to create
n new county by cutting off two
tiers of townships each from the
north side of Whitman county and
the south side of Spokane county.
Whitman county Is larger than
Spokane county, there being a pro-
lection of one township or more on
the west end of Whitman west of
the west line Of Spokane county.
1t was decided to leave out entirely
this township on the west end Of
Whitman, allowing 1t to be
added to Lincoln county, as IL is
convenient to Spmgue; provided,
however, that If the residents of said
township thus cut of desire to be
included in the new county in
preference to going into Lincoln
county they may be so included
upon petition.
1t was also decided that townships
lying on either side of the townships
selected for the new county may
also be included in the new county
upon petitions from the residents Of
those townships. rgl 1,.t 5l
1t was decided to present petit
tions to the legislature asking for
the creation of the new county, the
boundaries of which will be fully
set forth In the petitions.
