At the same date on which The UNION

our readers the advantages OF the two
cities, to let them side by side tell their
stories and let the intelligent voter draw
his own conclusion. Huron took half a
day for the consideration Of the ques-
ton, Pierre has had two months and re-
fuses to accept the challenge. The Cap.

THE MORMON PROFESSIONS.
They Arc Accep ted as Final by tho
People OF Utah.

New YoRK, oct. 4.-The Independent
will publish tomorrow articles received
by telegraph from President Woodruff.
OF the Mormon church, and Governor
Thomas, of Utah, concerning the action
OF the Mormon conference of October q.
forbidding polygamy. President Wood
ruff says: THE action of congress 10
conclusive. The church has no dispo-
sition to violate the laws or defy the
government. The revelation of God re-
qures us to obey the constitutional laws
of the land. Judge Leon has recognized
the action of the church as sincere aud
final, and has rescinded the rule exclud-
ing Mormon aliens from naturalization -
Governor Thomas says: "The mani
festo of the president of the church has
now been confirmed by the conferences.
II comes with the force of new reye-
lation, and whatever doubt may haye
existed as to the purposes and effects
OF the manifesto as first sent out they
now seem removed. The Gentiles re-
joice that the contest begun so many
years ago against polygamy has finally
triumphed, for they believe that never
again will polygamy flourish on Amer
lean soil. This is the most im portant
event that has occurred in the Mormon
church in years, and IL is believed II at
II will result in greatly advancing the
material interests and prosperity of the
serritory.h

CHICAGO, Oct. IA safe opening test,
which in Its sensational aceornpanl-

Johnstone, the mind reader, took place
In the Hotol Wayne early this morning.
The operator was Henry L. Adams, a
young man from Minneapolis, who came
to Chicago some weeks ago and took
rooms at the Wayne, where he became
acquainted with young man, who, al
though Adams did not know this, was o
cousin of the proprietor. Within tho
past few days Adams proposed to him
to rob the hotel safe. lie was to get up
NJ O'Clock in the morning and do this.
The hotel proprietor WAS advised by his
cousin, who at the same time pretended
to bc an accomplce OF Adams plot.
Two detectives were hidden In the
Office last night, and this morning at tho
appointed time Adams came in. The
wondering officers watched him, with
out tools or explosives, prepare to open
the massive safe, although 1t was evi-
dent that ho did not know the combina-
ton. He pared the nail of the isdex
finger ON his right hand until the blood
vessels were exposed. Then by placing
tho sensitive wound on tho knob of the
combination lock he could distinguish
The movement of the tumblers as they

detectives scarcely dared to breathe. At
last there was u sharp click, aud Adams
swung back the doors, with a sigh of re-
lief. He then reached into the safe and
laid his hands on a package of bills, but,
much to his discontinue, the officers
stepped forward at the same moment
and placed him under arrest.

luxuries that the hotel afforded. He
spent money freely, aud brought letters
of introduction to several OF the best
people in town, among them Postmaster

his life agreeable AZ the outset. He soon
began gambling heavily, and lost all

Tho Trial of tho Irish Leaders =
Tipperary.

DUBLIN, Oct. l3.-The case against
Dillon and OBrien and the other de-
PENDANTS was resumed at Tipperary to-
day. John Edgar O'Mahony, one OF
the defendants, being Ill, medical evil
dence was submitted, showing IL to be
impossible for him to attend the trial
for some days. Ii was also shown that
his condition was such that when able to
appear in court he would be subject to a
recurrence of the sickness through the
excitement of the trial. Crown Prosecu-
tor Roman closely questioned the doctor
regarding the nature of OMahony's S
illness. V. B. Dillon, of the counsel for
the defense, protested against Romans
questions, which ho characterized as
horrible. David Sheehy, one OF the aC-
cused, denounced rs barbarous the
manner in which the crown was con-
Quoting the prosecution.
Roman asked for an adjournment until
Tomorrow, when the crown would sug-
gest n course that would enable the
court to proceed in spite of the absence
of o Mahony. The counsel 'for the dc
fense objected to the shortness of the
adjournment, and was supported by his
fellow counsel, j. Il. Redmond. The
bench acceded to Romans request.

respondent of tho Chronicle says A

and are journeyirg on to Paris.
TrPPERARY, Oct. l4.-Ronan, the pros
ecutor for the crown, has dismissed the
case against O'Mahoney, whose illness
prevents his attending court. Timothy
llealy argued that the evidence given
against o. Mahoney equally affected all
the defendants, and that the charges
against him having been dismissed, the
charges against all the defendants should
also be dismissed. The court took mote
of Hsaly's objection, and allowed the
crown to proceed with the prosecution.
Constable Lenar, one of the with esses,
testified that he was employed by the
government to shadow" various per.
sons, and in the course of the severe
cross-examinaiion was forced to admit
that John Morley's name was included
in the number.

A BOLD EO3BERY.
An Old Missourian Held up and
tkOOO stolen From, Him,


PORTLAND. Or, Oct. iI.--One OF the
boldest daylight robberos ever reported
to the Portland police took place on the
Southern Pacific train which arrived
from California at 0;45 thi, morning.
While Elisha Smith, an aged Missouri
farmer, was preparing to leave the train
at the depot three men seized and
choked him, and robbed him of his
pockctbook, containing checks, notes
and receipts for checks aggregating ~, =
1856. In their haste they did not get his
purse containing $1,000 in crisp green
backs.
Farmer Smith halls from Splitlog,
NO., and nc came TO Oregon to make
his homo here. Whom he started for
Portland he mad an idea that he nigh /
run against pickpockcts, and was de-
termincd to give them as little chance
as possible to get at his valuables. He
put $1,000 In currency in q shot sack.
and deposited 1t in the bottom of the
inside pockc: of his vest. His russian
leather purse he seoreted in the same
pocket, on top Of tho sack containing
the money.
Smith kept close guard over his valu-
ables all the way from Missouri. The
vest, of coure, was kept buttoned, and as
further security the coat was buttohed.
Smith feels sure that the man who
robbed him did not accompany him
from Missouri. William Gallagher, OF
Oakland, Cal, who got on the train at
Sacramento, says the pickpockets
boarded it when II was crossing a rail-
road bridge slowly. They were of me-
dium height and young and one carried
grip sack.
Smiths lively experience with them
began in the smoking car when the train
stopped at the depot All the passen-
gers were getting their grips and putting
OH their overcoats, and there was more
or less confusion. The Smith party had
considerable baggage, and were getting
II together. A few seconds later they

their way through the crowd until they
came to Mr.. Smith, who was putting on
his overcoat, his arms being in the
sleeves. When tho first of the men
reached him he turned half way around
to let him pass, but the fellow stopped
and continued to press him against
the seat. Then the Missouri man began
to suspect the intent OIL the other fellow
He was unable to help himself, because
he could not iisengege his arms from

and choked him and pushed his head

around. In iitly the fellow. or one of
his confederates, thrust his hand into

pocketbook.
Mr.. Smiths son Charles came to the

WAsHINGToS, ID. O., Oct. lathe few
senators still lingering about the capitol
are interested In the efforts being made
here now to show that Senator Squire of
Washington state neglected his sen nator-
ial duties during the past session, par
ticula-s of which appeared in these dis
patches of Sunday morning.
Anyone can go through the records" +"
said n Western senator to-day, "and
make an adverse showing against any
mem Der Of the senate, for the simple
reason that in nine cases out of every
ten when the word absent appears
against a senator in the records, he was
either in his seat or attending TO his
committee or department duties.
'The general public does not under
stand the code that governs the senate
of the United States. For instance, most
of the senators on both sides OF the SEN
ste are paired. That is, a democrat and
a republican agree not to vote on party
issues when either is absent. That en-
ables the senators to devote more time
10 committee work and the interests Of
their constituents. Senator Squire Is
puired with Senator Daniel of Virginia.
When either 10 absent the other refrains
from voting, but under the rules both
are recorded as absent. Then again, u
member may be attending to committee
duties or looking up the interests of his
constituents about the departments. Ii
his name should be called on u division
he is registered as absent.
''Oi course anyone can 60 through the
records and make an apparent show oil
neglect Of duty against any senator,
with the possible exception Of very
few in charge Of important measures
who necessarily remain in their seats all
the time.
''As to the charge that Senator Squire
was away frequently on trips to New
York, to my certain knowledge he was
there but twice, and then upon import
ant committee work"
Senators still here rather frown upon
the attempt to show that Senator Squire
was frequently absent at roll-call. They
feel that an example is being set that
may be brought against them when they
come up fer election.

THE SCHOOL LANDS.
A Decision of Importance to Wash
ington.

WAsHISGroN, Oct. 13.-George Chand-
Ter, acting secretary of the interior, to-
day made q decision of importance to
Washington state, holding that the Sc
lections OF school lands made by coun-
ty commissioners while the territorial
government existed will hold against
the applications of individuals to make
cash entries. Nine cases involving valu-
able land in the Seattle district were
decided to-day. He holds that the act
of February o, lSss, applies to wash
ington state, and that the selections
made under the territorial government
are continual reservation until the Sc
lections shall be Cancelled. The county
commis issionery have the authority to
select indemnity school lands. If the
lands were reserved at the date OF the
application of purchase, the admission
OF the state would have no effect on
these particular cases.

GREAT BRITAIN TAKES A HAND.
The Proposed Reciprocity Botwesn
spain and the United states

WAsHIHeToS, Oct. li-A dispatch
from London asserts that spain can not
negotiate reciprocity treaty with the
United States for the Cuban trade with
out violating tho favored nation clause"
In the existing treaties with other
nations. 1t is said at the department of
state that this point was finally decided
in 1884, when Minister Foster negotiated
reciprocity treaty, and is now revived,
not by Spain, but by the commercial
interests of Great Britain for an obvious
purpose. The United States also has u
favored nation clause in most of her
commercial treaties, but they will not
embarrass the government in negotiating
reciprocity treaties or arrangements
with other nations, because the depart
ment of state has uniformly held that
the Favored nation clause" applies only
where privileges are granted freely and
without consideration, but wherever
special consideration is made the condi-
ton of favors granted or received the
Favored nation clause" does not apply.
