Message OF Utah. Governor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The Mormon
question is discussed by Governor
Thomas of Utah in his annual report.
He asserts that the Mormon people are
governed by priests, and that in every
political and business act the church
is put first, the country afterward.
The population of the territory is estl-
mated at 22O, 932. an increase of 90
per cent during the past ten years.
The Mormons are recruited by immi-
grafton from Great Britain and Scan
dinavian countries. The average num-
Der of foreign-born brought to the
territory by the Mormons during the
past nine years was about eighteen
hundred annually, and this average
has probably been maintained the past
year. The governor says that political
and official Mormonism deals in vari-
Gus and meaningless words or words
of double meaning, hypocritical pre-
lenses and false assertions. Its atti-
tude toward polygamy is delusive to
the last degree. 1t knows there has
been no change on the subject, but
seeks to convey the impression that
there has been. Prominent church
officials. the governor states, have
declared that the church does
not now grant its permits to
enter polygamy, and the nominal
head of the church has announced
that polygamous marriages do notnow
take place. The governor adds, how
ever, that when the attention of the
head of the church was called to a
notorious case uncovered In the First
district court he disclaimed any knowl-
edge of it. Admitting that these state
ments are, however literally true, the
governor says it does not prove that
the church has met the public senti-
ment of the nation, as expressed in its
laws, nor does it prove that the church
is loyal to the law. There is no reason
to believe, the governor asserts, that
any earthly power can exact from the
church any declaration opposed to
polygamy. He accounts for the hold
(which Mormonism has upon the peo-
pile by the fact that they are taught to
keep aloof from influences outside of
the church. The governor recon-
mends the passage of the bill reported
in the senate by Edmunds, which au-
thorizes the governor to appoint GER
tain county officers and providing fora
Legislative reappointment. He states
that if this bill becomes a law it will
place the control of twenty-five coun
ties in the hands of men loyal to the
government. He also recommends the
passage of either the Cullom bill or the
Strubie bill.

The Lottery Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The follow
ing instructions embodying the con-
struction placed upon the a%nti-lottery
law by the p~ostoflce department were
mailed to postmasters throughout the
country to-day. The law applies to

hidden by the provisions of this act.
Nor will mere suspicion that such q
letter or package relates to a letter, or
the fact hat it is addressed to any per-
son known to be engaged in the bust
ness of conducting "a lottery, justify it's
detention or non-delivery, except that
the delivery of a registered letter at
the Office of destination shall be with
held when the postmaster general has
issued specific orders under the pro-
visions of section 1929 to that effect.

Lively Times in Guthrie.

GUTHRIE, o. r., Oct. 1.-The ex-
element over the capitol location con-
tinued yesterday. After the demon
stration against Messrs. Daniels. Perry
and Nesbitt last evening had subsidized,
S. R. Mitchell, city attorney of Okla
homa City, who CHANGED to be in town,
SEM this telegram to one of his friends
at home:
Your representatives were mobbed
on the street today. Send 100 armed
men.
The armed men arrived this morn
ing and were among the first to secure
seats of vantage in the lower house.
Fully as many friends of the Guthrie
measure, equally strongly armed, were
also present. Their presence caused
intense feeling and it would have taken
but the slightest outbreak to have
caused serious trouble.
Speaker Daniels vas too i'll, suffer-
ing from rvo exhaustion caused by
the exciting scenes of yesterday, to
preside. As soon as the house was
called to order Representative Terrill
introduced a resolution calling atten-
ton to the presence of armed men in
the chamber, declaring their presence
undesirable and directing the sergeant
alarms to eject all spectators, news
paper men excepted.
The resolution was voted down-20
to so.
Considering the probability of arep-
clifton of yesterdays riotous demon
stration it was deemed advisable to
postpone until tomorrow further &C.
ton on the capitol question.
The speaker has prepared a resolu-
ton, which will be introduced tomor-
row, providing for the recall of the
bill from the senate. When this reso-
luton is presented a lively time is ex-
Dected.

ArfZona's Condition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The annual
report of the governor of Arizona says
the mining industry is in Il more
healthy condition than ever. Great
attention is being paid to agriculture
owing to the pr~oductiveness of lands.
The governor thinks restrictive legisla-
ton in Idaho will an increase OF
Mormon immigration to Arizona. The
number of MormOns now in the terri
tory is estimated at one-fifth OF the
population, and the report states that
unless restrictive measures are adopted
the territory will become Mormonized
to such an extent as TO seriously dis
turb society and the affairs OF govern
ment and prejudice the territory's
chances for statehood. He recon-
mends, therefore. that the government
grant the same protection to Arizona
as is enjoyed by Idaho and that the
Idaho test oath be made applicable to
Arizona, and that the San Carlos
Apaches be removed from the territory
and the reservation be opened to set

of the suicide of James Mckee, near
Fort Laramie, shows that Mckee killed
himself because a ~13-year-old girl re-
fused to marry him. The girls name
is Nellie Mason. She, with her
brother-in-law and sister, are travelling
across Wyoming on their way to Ore
gon. Mckee, a young cowboy of 10,
met the party while he was riding the
range and fell desperately in love with
the girl. He followed the party and
while they were camped near Fort
Laramie proposed to the girl. She
refused to marry him and told him to
leave the camp. Mckee mounted his
horse and rode away. Half an hour
later he was found hanging by the
neck to the branch of a cottonwood.
While on horseback he had placed the
moose of the lariat around his neck.
fastened the rope to the branch. and
let his horse walk from under him.
Mckee left a note written on a leaf of
memorandum book, asking Miss Mason
to forgive him for annoying her. and
saying his heart was broken. 1t is not

inquest was considered necessary. and
he was buried where he took his life.

Presidential VetOes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The presi-
dent returned yesterday without APP
proving the house bill, declaring the
retirement of Captain Charles B. Stir
Wis, U. S. A., legal and valid and that
he is entitled as such officer to his pay.
The president vetoed the bill for the
relief of Charles P. Choteau for the
reason that the court of claims had al
ready made findings of facts in the
case essential for the guidance of con
gress in case it should decide that an
appropriation to pay the claim ought
10 be made.

The Raum Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Judge Saw
yer, on behalf of the majority OF the
Raum committee, stated to an Asso-
ciated press reporter that he learned
with surprise that the minority report
had been given out. 1t was well. I'M
derstood by the committee hat the
evidence was not all in and the in
vestigatiOn not closed. Taking upthe
allegations in the minority report One
by one, Judge Sawyer said that there
was not one of the statements that he
believed was borne out by the evil
dence, incomplete though it was. AS
to the list of stockholders. the proof
showed that Smyser subscribed alone
for the stock and that the others in
terested with him made no s%ubscrip-
ton. With regard to Bradley Tan
ner, Commissioner Raum's private sec
rotary, the evidence showed that at
the outside he had only written four or
five letters on the refrigerator ON
pany's business in the pension Office
during Office hours. His association
with the District of Columbia branch
company was purely nominal, and the
company itself was not yet brought
into existence. Tanners promotion
was shown to have been made in full
tillment of a promise to Raum's prede-
cessor. With those exceptions there
was no evidence to show that anybody
employed in the pension Office was di-
rectly OF indirectly the owner of any
stock in the refrigerator company.
The majority had carefully analysed
the testimony with regard to favor
itism to attorneys and had reached the
conclusion that favoritism was impOs-
sible. The majority of the committee
earnestly approved the orders estab-
fishing the completed files system as
expediting business. They found that
there was no evidence to show that
the commissioner even failed to give
time aud attention to the duties which
should be expected of him.

A Chicago VIII Contest.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The Daily News
says that the will of the late John
Creerar. which disposed of an estate
worth about $500, 600, 900, much of it
being bequeathed to charitable and re-
ligious institutions in this city, is to
be contested, and proceedings will
soon be commenced in what will prob
ably be one of the most celebrated
cases of its kind on record.
The principal feature of the will
was the bequest of 81, 600. 900 to found
a great public library in Chicago. The
contest was inaugurated by distant
relatives on Creerar'sf fathers side. The
grounds on which it is proposed to
invalidate the library bequest are the
same as those on which the bequest
for a library in New York in the will
of Samuel j. Tilden was invalidated,
viz: That a bequest cannot legally be
made to anything which does not ex-
list. 1t is also proposed to attack the
requests to several religious institu-
tons and the bequest of 800, 600 for
a statute of Abraham Lincoln. The
solicitors for the contestants point out
that all the requests to relatives r
to those on mis- mothers side and that
the relatives on his fathers side were
not mentioned. In proving it the FAM
lily servant testified that there We're no
relatives on his fathers side living,
and the contestants, several of whom
come from Ontario. that the
testator did not know of their existence.
