WASHINGTON. D. c., January 17.-Presi-
dent pro tenn Ingalls, laid before the senate
q memorial from the legislature of Idaho,
protesting against the proposed admission
of Utah. The memorialists say that: 'The
members Of the organization known as the
Mormon church largely outnumber the
loyal gentle citizens Of said territory, and
consequently will, and for many years to
come would have absolute control of all
elections therein. that all pretenses of an
Of bigamy, pclygamy and
other crimes against the laws of tbs United

pose of deceiving persons unacquainted

Of Utah" The memorialists ask also that
. legislative commission be created for the
of said territory.

MILLIONS OF CROWS,

Immense Flocks of Them Gathered In
Douglass County. nlineis.
NEWMAN, ILL, January 16.-For eighteen
months past crows to the number estimated
all the way from 100000 to 3.OO0, 900 have
swarmed in the eartern part of Douglass
county, feeding in the fields in daytime and
collecting at night at their famous roost,
one and half miles northwest of this place.
in McCown's grove. which covers some sixty
from the surrounding country in my lads,
and the noise they made by their shrill
"caw! cav" is deafeniDg. Frequently they
alight in such vast numbers on the trees
that large limbs are broken under their
weight. One day last week black cloud of
these birds was crossing the railroad track
near here, when the smoke from the engine
blinded them. They few against the eide of
the swiftly moving cars, and parties who
watched the strange sight counted nearly
20 met their death in the above manner.
A party of hunters from Hume, a small
village east of here, armed themselves with
shotguns on yesterday afternoon and visited
the roost with the avowed intention of rid.
ding it of the ehiny black pests. Six of them
shot and killed 135 in less than two hours,
but at the end of that time the 6iminution
of the birds was unnoticeable, and they re-
tired from the field. Frequently the birds
would rise in such clouds that they would
almost obscure the sun from view.
It is stated that this wholesale invasion of
crows is caused by the short crop in the
southern part of the state for the past two
seasons, where they have heretofore always
made their home in winter. They make sad
havoc in the fields of corn and it seems i'm.
possible to drive them out.
