Shows Itself in the Hoffman House, Where lie
Appeared GloriousIy Drunk.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-John l.. Sullivan,
formerly pugllist, now one of the most
prominentactors of the United States. re-
turned from Jersey City last night, and
reeled into the Hoffman house greatly I'M
der the weather The big fellows plug
hat was pulled down over his left eve and
he swung huge silver headed cane, much
as policeman juggles with club. Sulli-
vans eyes were red and his voice husky.
He brought up against the rosewood bar
and leaned his back against it. Then he
poured forth a stream of curses and abuses
upon everybody in general. Il can lick
the whole housefull,n exclaimed the
doughty champion, bringing his fist down
upon the bar with force that shook the
glasses.
The detective employed about the famous
saloon tried to pacify Henry Irving's imi-
tator, but failed. Then Billy Edwards took
a hand. He also tried to reason with Sui
Ivan and after much muttering and
threats OF what he would do, the big actor
was induced to go out the next side exit
A cab was standing at the door and Sulli-
van fell into it. He then emptied the con-
tents of his pocket out upon the floor of the
cab and was driven to Wakeley's saloon.
1t is said this is Sullivan's first outbreak
since he became member of the theatrical
profession, although Mr. Harrison has been
in constant fear of something taking
place.

NO MORE POLYGAMY.
President Woodruff Issues q
Manifesto.
THE COMMISSIONS ASSERTIONS
Regarding Plural Marriage Denied-He Adj.
yises the Saints to Refrain from Con-
tracing Marriages Forbidden by Law.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. a. presidents
Woodruff, of the Mormon church, to-dayis-
sued manifesto in which referring to the
statement in the report of the Utah com
mission that plural marriages had been
solemized during the past year and that the
leaders of the church have encouraged the
continuance of polygamy, he enters
sweeping denial that such things have oc-
Cured. President Woodruff further saws
that inasmuch as the law forbidding polyg-
amy has been pronounced constitutional by
the court of last resort, he hereby de-
clares his intention to submit to those
laws and to use his influence with members
of the church to have them do likewise.
There is nothing in his teaching to the
church or in the teaching of his associates
during the time specified what can rea-
sonably be construed TO inculcate or en-
courage polygamy; and when an elder has
used language which appeared to convey
such teachings he has been promptly re-
proved. He concludes, II now publicly de-
clare my advice to the Latter day Saints is
to refrain from contracting any marriage
forbidden by the law of the land"

LAND COURT BILL.
Senta0r WalcOtt EndeavOrS to
Have it Amended.
HE MEETS WITH No SUCCESS.
a Very Suspicious Death in Butte-A Miner
Narrowly Escapes Being Blown
up With Giant Powder.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-TSpecial tele-
to The HERALD. Rather unexpectedly the
bill to provide for the establishment of a
court to settle private land claims in Colo
RADIO, Arizona, New Mexico, etc., was taken
up in the Senate to-day and occupied atten-
ton during the greater part of the after
noon. The superstition of its opponents was
that it would not be brought up again this
session. The pending question was on the
amendment proposed by Senator Wolcott
providing that mo confirmation shall in
any case be made or patent issued for a
greater quantity of land than was originally
granted by the government under which
the claim had its inception, or for any
greater quantity of land than was legally
granted by such government when the same
was mader
The object of this was to avoid the in
Justice which the committees bill would do
to an innocent claimant by declaring that
no confirmation should in any case be made
or patent issued for greater quantity than
eleven square leagues of land, to or in the
right OF any original grantee or claimant
OF IN the tight of any original grant 20 two
or more persons jointly, nor for a create r
quantity than was authorized by the re-
speetlTe laws of Spain or Mexico applic-
able to the claim. The committee provision
would prevent anybody from having
patented greater amount that eleven
square leagues, no matter how many more
leagues may have been granted. to such
person. The idea expressed by the mem
oers OF the committee was that if injustice
should happen to or result from this pro-
vision, persons so injured could have Jus
tice done them in Congress This idea is
combatted strongly by the Senators from
the northwest who denounce the bill as ex-
tremely crude and one which besides iniur
ing claimants TO which it is directly appli-
cable, is liable 10 make serious and dang err
Gus changes in the general land laws of the
country.
Senator Wolcott stated that he was
opposed to taking up this bill at this time
because it could not receive now. at the
heels of the session, the consideration to
which its Importance entities But this
objection and the protests made by other
Senators were of no avail in preventing
the bill from coming up for consideration.
Mr.. Wolco.t will speak to morrow in SUD-
port OF his amendment. As stated hereto
fore, the hope is that some of the glaring
defects in this bill may be corrected before
the vote is taken in its final passage.

Stories About 1t.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Sept. 24.-The MdiJ and Err
press yesterday printed story from Phil
adelphia newspaper about Mr.. Cleveland's
physical and mental health in which it
was stated the ex-President was a very
sick man and that he spent his days in
moody silence and grew so lethargic dur
ing his vacation that his favorite pastime
of fishing was relinquished and during the
day he had spent most OF his time in sleep
These symptoms, the story said, alarmed
Mr.. CIeveland's friends and no one more
than himself
Mr.. Cleveland was seen by a correspon-
dent this afternoon in his law office
in Williams street. On being shown
the story he read it through and
then exclaimed: ''How absurd the
story is. L really have no patience to
deny all these statements. They are I'M
true every one of them. Don't you think
look pretty welll | never felt better in nv
life. 1 spent an excellent vacation, and dur
ing the time was at Marion 1 fished every

come from Philadelphia, for some of nv
friends from that city accompanied me on
my fishing trip. l will send them this clip
ping, and believe me, they will laugh heart

my Office Monday morning. My time has
been spent since in clearing up the CORES
ponde1ce that has accumulated upon nv
desk, and | fatter myself l have put in two
pretty good days work. / think I have
said everything necessary to confute that
story"
Mr.. Cleveland spoke rather warmly and
was evidently annoyed at the statements
made about him. He looks quite well and
is evidently as vigorous as before he
started on his vacation.

late prominent aspirant for the United
States Senate but whose name, according
to Wood river Republ can journal is now
Dennis and who was billed to speak here
last night, failed to show up much to the
disappointment of the followers and bench
men of the Dubois brigade in Alturas
county. Freddie, however, came in on the
train today and stayed just long
enough to buzz few friends and
went back to Haley to speak
tonight. Many Republicans in Alturas
Custer and Lenihi counties are in auan
dairy to know which way to vote for gov
ernor. They say if they vote for Colonel
Shoup they know they are voting for a can
didate whose highest ambition is to be
United States Senator, and who would, if
elected. gladly resign the governorship to
obtain the national position This don't go
down with them, and the result will be
that many Republican votes will be cast for
the man who wants but one Office, Ben Will
son, the Democratic candidate for governor.
