Emperor William and the
Social ts.
THE RELATIONS WITH AUSTRIA
The Kaisers Reception at His Re,
cent tVisit-Reforms Proposed
Disastrous storms.
tcopyrIrh,ed Associated Press, 1890 |

BERrtS, Oct 4.-Tho lapse of the anti
socialist laws has led to the renewal Of
tho discussion regarding Emperor Will
iam's attitude toward the socialist ques-
tion. The Cologne Gazette repeats that
tho emperor and all his ministers, with
tho exception of Bismarck, desired the
continuance of the special act, and were
ready to accept permanent act in the
form offered by the national liberals,
namely, without power of expulsion,
but that Bismarck disagreed and the
reichstag in consequence dissolved.
THE emperor, himself" says the Ga
zette. would never voluntarily have
dispensed with the act At the same
time the emperor views the death of the
laws without regret being confident of
his ability to solve the social problem
without them by means of remedial
legislation depriying the party Of discon-
tent OF their most serious grievances"
The tone of most ofthe socialist meet
ings of the past few days was one of ex-
ultation. A large restaurant has been
purchased at Erlert and another, with a
large hall for meetings attached, will DO
bought shortly, to assist the propagan-
da. The party will be careful to avoid
giving occasion for the renewal of the
comcive laws.

SITUATION OF UTAH..
Mormonlsm Is as Rampant
To-Day as Ever.
THE REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR
PolyRamy Taught and Practiood'
the Allegations of tho Priests
Notwithstanding.

WAsHIsoros, Oct. 3.--Ths Mormon
question is discussed by Governor
Thomas, of Utah, in his annual report.
He asserts that the Mormon people are
governed by the priests, and that In
every political and business net the
church is put first and the country
sfterward. The population of the terri
tory Is estimated at 220, 032; an increase
OF 90 per cent. during the past ten years.
The Mormons are recruited by immigra-
ton from Great Britain and the Scandi-
navian countries. The average number
OF foreign born people brought to the
territory by the Mormons during the
past nine years has been about !, 800 an
nually, and this average has probably
been mai ntained during the past year.
The governor says: Political and
official Mormonism deals in evasions
and meaningless words OF u double
meaning, bypocritical pretehses and
fnlse associations. Its attitude toward
polygamy is de,usive In the last degree.
1t knows that there has been no change
on the subject, but seeks 10 convey the
impression that there has been. Promi-
nent church officials have declared that
the church does not now grant permits
to enter polygamy, and the nominal
head of the church has announced that
polygamous marriages do not now take
place"
The governor adds: "However. when
the attention of the head of the church
was called TO a notorious case, uncov-
cred in the First district court he dis
claimed any knowledge of il. Admitting
that these statements, however, are
literally true, it does not prove
that the church has met the public
sentiment of the nation as expressed in
its laws, nor does 1t prove that the
church is loyal to the law. There is no
reason 10 believe that any earthly power
can exact from the church any declara.
tion opposed to polygamy."
He accounts for the hold which Nor
monism has upon the people by the fact
that they are taught to keep aloof from
influences outside of the church.
The governor recommends the passage
OF the bill reported In the senate by MIR.
Edmunds, which authorizes the governor
providing for legislative reapportion-
ment. He states that ii this bill became
n law II would place the control of
twenty-five counties in the hands or
men loyal to the government.
He also recommends the passage of
either the Cullom bill or the SIruble bill.

MONEY FOR SURVEYS
The Apportionment of the
appropriation.
APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY
Washington Gets the Largest Por-
tion-Changes May Be Made
as Required,

WASHINGTON. Oct 3.-The secretary OF
the interior to-day approved the follow
ing apportionment of the money appro-
priated for the survey ofthe public lands
for the year ending June 80 1891:
Arizona, 5000; California, $40, 900 (;
Idaho, 10000, increase 10000; Mon
tana, $4,000, increase 100000; Oregon,
$50, 900 increase 1000; Utah $500, in
crease 5000 Washington, 5000, in
crease S65,Ooo; Wyoming, $40. 900 in
crease $4,000.
The reserve fund for contingenc cies is
S27 600, an increase of 81, 900 over last
year. The sum of $40. 900 is allotted for
the examination of surveys. The total
thus appropriated is Si25. 900. Last year
the appro priation was $685. 900.
The secretary, in his letter to the com.
missioner of tho general land office,
says; III any portion of the moneys
appropriated to tho several states and
territories is found to be In excess of the
amount actually needed, it can be
changed at any time to meet the de.
mands of some other requiring more"
There is more or less of snarl over
the division of this money Tor the sur.
veys. The general land office and the
interior department don't agree, and it
is probable that the interior department
will win the battle. OF the $4O0 600, the
land office gave Oregon Sl5, 900 and
Washington $4,000. Tie interior de-
partment doubles the amount for Ore
gon and cuts down Washington.
Just before John l.. Wilson left for
home lie had long and red-hot inter
view with one of the interior department
officials ON the matter and to-day Sena-
tor Allen gave them to understand that
Washington would use just as much
money for surveys as was necessary,
and that It would he unpleasant for any
government official to break the implied
agreement; that the state was to have
whal tile service demanded. The Ore
gon delegation likewise as NOT pleased
with tile apportionment of SIS 900 and
got more efter making vigorous pro-
lest,

WASHINGTON, Oct. Am order has

The report OF the trial board, of which
Commodore John Irwin was president,
gave the snip on her trial trip an aver
age speed OF l9,663 knots per hour. This
speed was based upon a run of four

ducts to the boilers in the second fire.

This was necessary brcahse water was

that connects with tile bilge well, and,
as this valve WAS accidentally open, the

through the strain valve into the fire
room floor, and partially filed the two
lower furnaces and the ducts OF the boil
ers in the second freroom forward.
Without this allowances of l minute and
~ seconds the speed of the vessel was
l05lS knots.
The board states that the cause for
closing down was entirely outside OF the
working OF the engines and boilers, as
required by contract. The vessel speed
during the last fifteen minutes OF the run
was 10. ll5 knots per hour, and by the
patent og she averaged for the four
hours 2O6oi knots.
