Lake City, whore she has been doing mis-
sionary work. to-day Gubmitted statement
to Gen. James X. O'Brien, superintendent
of immigration, with view to aiding those
interested in stopping the influx OF Mormon
converts TO this country. She says, having
been resident of salt Lake City two years,
and during that time having made study
of the Mormon people, she desires to aid in
suppressing the traffic now carried on by
the Mormons with ignorant, unsuspicious
foreigners. The Mormon church, she says.
pays for the passage to this country Of con-
verts and then pays their railroad fare to
Salt Lake. From her experience she says
she knows this to be, fact. Ignorant con-
verts come to Salt Lake City filled with
promises Of a life of ease and luxury aad
with the idea that the church will aid in thlfr
support. Instead of this they are housed
like animals in miserable little adobe huts.

to pay One-tenth of all they possess, and
one-tenth of all they earn to support the
church. Many Mormon settlements use
sage brush for fuel, and have TO subsist
principally on fish. which they dry and
keep for food in winter.
How they manage is mystery to ALL"
says Miss Coultre. why the Mormon
elders bring over 30 many young, ignorant
girls is only too we'll known to those Of MS
who have cared to investigate the matter.
These girls have no voice in the matter Of
their disposal, and they soon learn they are
to be spiritual wives to some OF the basest
creatures the church produces. Oh how
earnestly they wish they were again in their
own land, and away from the clutches Of
these Mormon tyrants. But there il very
little hope, when once in their clutches,

Miss Coultre says she could cite scores of
cases that came under her attention. In
the case of one Scotch woman enticed to
Salt Lake by her own brother. the old
when she found out the practices
Of the Mormons, refused to have anything
to do with them, but her children were en-
iced from her and are now living lives Of
sin. In conclusion, Miss Coultre says:

observation of these Mormon converts. do

DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-The conference Of Irisl
nationalists called by Parnell was held to
day. Part Of the business was to elect ,
deputation to visit America to lay befor,
the people of that country plain state
ment of the situation in Ireland. Johl
Dillon, William O'Brien, Thomas Power
OConnor, Timothy Sullivan and Abraham
Gill were appointed.
The proceedings of the convention were
conducted in private. There was very
large attendance. The most prominent ma.
tionalists were present. Justin Mccarthy
moved the adoption Of four resolutions, all
of which had been previously submitted tc
ParnelL The first pledges the fullest sup
port of the National league to tenants
threatened with ruin in consequence of the
course adopted by the government and
landlord syndicates. The second demands
that certain distressed districts in the
southern and western parts of Ireland be
given especial consideration by the govern
ment and that measures be taken at
once for the relief Of the in
habitants. The government is called
upon to inaugurate series of public
Improvements for the purpose Of giving
employment to people, enabling them to
support themselves without charitable as
sistance. The third condemns in emphatic
terms the action of the government in
causing the arrest of O'Brien, Dillon, and
other nationalist leaders. The fourth says
the nationalist party is compelled by cir
cumstances to make an appeal to its friends
everywhere on behalf of Irish tenants, and
looks especially to its friends in America to
subscribe generously for the benefit of
British people This appeal. the resolution
says, is most unwilling one. but the des-
perate straits in which Irish tenants are
now placed make it absolutely necessary
that aid be asked from friends and sympa-
thizers throughout the world.
Parnell sent a telegram to the conference
saying that he greatly regretted his inabili-
ty to be present, and expressed confidence
that the deliberations of the meeting would
be guided by wisdom and patriotism and
result for the good of the public. He also
expressed the hope that tie mission to
America would meet with ali possible sue
cess. Dillon O'Brien and other national
lists ut Tipperary sent kilograms expressing
regret that the disgusting judicial farce"
prevented their attending conference.

Toronto, Oct. 6.-The Globe published
this morning sensational story containing
. partial confession from Birchell, regard
ing the killing of Benwell. It says he cam
not be said to have made anything like .
clean breast of the murder. All he has
done thus far is to make number Of half
confessional statements and drop hints and
admissions which, pieced together, form a
tolerably coherent story. To sum up he 40
knowledRes that he was accessory; oonfesses
that he took Benwell to Eastwood and be-
yond, in the direction of the swamp, but
resolutely sticks to it that his was not the
hand that slew the victim. All through
his conversation since conviction Birchell
has insisted that he had an accomplioe. He
makes It appear that his accomplice was .
young Englishman named Graham, who at
one time lived with Pickthall on the lat
ter's farm. No one will for moment be-
lleve the charge against Graham true.
There is not the slightest evidence that
Graham was seen near the swamp Feb. 18th.

DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-The magistrates court
at Tipperary, before which the cases of Dill.
lon, O'Brien and others are being heard, re.
convened this morning. Their counsel
Redmond and Timothy Healy. were absent
IN consequence of an important engage.
ment elsewhere. On behalf of O'Mahoney,
Dillon produced certificates from two col
onial doctors stating that he was seriously
i'll and that it was impossible for him to
attend the trial. Roman, prosecutor for
! the crown, objected to the certificates as
| not being valid, because he insisted that the
doctors be Summoned to testify as to the
patients condition. Dillon's word and the
doctors certificates would have been ac-
cepted as evidence. but the doctors them
selves distinctly refused to come to court to
substantiate the statements already made
Roman asked the court to adjourn for an
hour to enable the crown to decide whether
the charge against O'Mahoney be with
drawn or application made for warrant
for his arrest. The request was granted.
Upon the reassembling of the court Ro-
nan stated that the prosecution had tele-
graphed the two doctors in Clonmel to
examine OMahoney and senta third from
Tipperary to examine the defendant. He
expected the doctors would appear in court
later and testify as to O'Mahoney's condi-
tion. He therefore asked the court to take
a further adjournment. Roman said O'Ma-
honey thought his solicitors had placed the
court at his defense. Dillon declared Mr..
Romans statement untrue. He had done
his best to procure the attendance of O'Ma-
honey and his brothers in court. O'Brien
said the defendants had the right to COM
plain against the course of the prosecution,
Romans remark was addressed to an audi
ence in England and was designed to injure
the defendants. scene Of confusion
followed. Roman repeated his re-
marks again and again. Dillon loud
" denied them. The defendants in the
meantime protested against the charges
made by the prosecutor. When order was
again partially restored Dillon warmly pro-
tested against the court taking any further
adjournment. He maintained that in all
justice no warrant could be issued for the
arrest of O'Mahoney until the court had
heard the testimony of his doctors. An
other heated wrangle then took place be-
tween the crown prosecutor and Dillon.
The court finally granted Romans request
and another Adjournment was taken. The
action of the defendants. Who are on bail,
will likely result in their committal to the
Clonmel jail for contempt of court.
When the court resumed DIR. Nadin testi-
fed that Mahoney would be unable to attend
for at least four days. Ultimately the trial
was adjourned until Friday.
