ship of tho so-called Mormon church and q
settlement of the much discussed Mormon
question would soon be reached.
ION the contrary in all the teachings in
the tabernacle and the church organs every
effort OF the government to suppress this
crime is still denominated as a persecution,
and those charged with ferreting out and
prosecuting the guilty are denominated
as prosecutors of the saints. The church
seems to grow more united from day to day
under these teachings. At the general con-
ference of the church, held at Salt Lake in
April last, Wilfred Woodruff, a disfranchised
polygamist, was chosen prophet, seer and
revelator, and president of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day SAINTS in all the
world. The first time since the death of
John Taylor in 1887 that that Office has been
filed.
SAT the same time George @. Cannon was
chosen as first councillor in the first presi-
dency' and Lorenzo Snow as president of
the twelve apostles all of them beng dis
franchised polygamists.
The council of the twelve APOSTLES was
completed by filing all vacancies. A large
portion of the twelve apostles and high dig
nitaries OF the church are polygamists. and
all are reputed to be open believers in the
doctrine. Indeed. it is believed that no one
can be promoted to Office in the church I'M
less he processes belief in it as funda-
mental doctrine"

ericsson SPRINGS, Pa, September 22.-The
president has issued the following procla-
nation:
To Whom it May Concern:
Whereas, 1t has been represented to mo
that, by reason of tho drouth which has
prevailed in the Indian territory and in ad-
joining states, the execution of my procla-
nation of February, 1870, requiring the re-
tnoval of all live stock from the Cherokee
quite: on or before October 1, would work
great hardship and loss. not only to the own
ers of stock herded upon the strip, but to
owners of cattle in adjoining states; and,
Whereas, The owners of all cattle now
herded upon the outlet, having submitted to
me q proposition III writing. whereby they
agree to remove one-half of their stock from
the outlet on or before November /, and the
residue thereof and all of their property and
employees on or before December next, and
to abandon all claims in said outlet:
Now, therefore l, BENJAMIN Harrison.
president of the United States, do give no
tice and proclaim that the time heretofore
fixed for the removal of live stock herded
upon said outlet is extended to November
as to ons-half thereof and to December l
next as to the residue thereof as to all prop
erty and emoloyes.

England's Methods.

DUBLIN, September 20.-John Dillon was
arrested at his residence near this city. He
was conveyed on special train to Tlppe-
rary, accompanied by large military escort.
William O'Brien was arrested and taken to
Cork. Warrants have been issued for The
arrest of Messrs. Sheedy and Condor.
members of the house of commons, Patrick
O'Brien and Rev. David Humphreys, of
Tipperary. The charges on which Mr.. Dill
Ion were arrested are conspiracy and incit-
ing the tenants on Smith Barry's estate not
to pay their rents.
1t is ascertained that a warrant has been
issued for MIR. Dalton, who has been active
in the work of the Land league.
Here in Dublin the police are keeping a
strict watch Of the headquarters of the Land
league. Persons entering or leaving are sub
jected to close scrutiny.
Dispatches from Tipperary report that the
organizers of the local branch of the league
there are under close police surveillance and
are being constantly Swallowed.
LONDoN.-The one topic in London Is the
news from Ireland of the arrest of several
prominent Irish nationalists. The general
feeling is one of profound surprise, as the
government had kept its secret so well that
no hint of its intended action had reached
the public. The Parnellites were greatly
surprised, but by no means cast down.
Their story of the arrest at this particular
juncture is that the government decided on
them in order to prevent the departure of
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien to America.
This the government wished to stop, the
Parnellites assert, because they feared that
the effect of the speeches of their Irish ora
tors in America would be to create fresh
and strong outburst of American sympathy
with the Irish home rulers. which would be
of great moral help to the liberal cause.

Colorado Republicans.

DENVER, Col, September 2o.-The Repub-
hcan state convention met and elected Alex
ander Gullett, of Pueblo. temporary chair
man; appointed committee on credentials
and took a recess. There is bitter factional
fight in the republican party of Colorado, one
faction being termed ''the gang" and the
other ''the gangs smasher." The former
has control of the state and county offices
and is making strong fight to continue in
power, while the other faction is leaving no
stone unturned to GUST them. The fight is
SO bitter in Aranahoe county that at the
county convention, held here on Monday,
''the gang" bolted, held a convention of
their own, and the result is that this county
has a contested delegation before the state
convention. The same state of affairs exists
in several other counties. This will make
the work of the committee on credentials
very tedious and long. Temporary Chair
man Gullett is in sympathy with ''the gang"
and no doubt that faction will control the
convention. Both sides endorse Henry NJ.
Teller for reelection to the United States
senate.

In Labor'S Name.

MONMOUTH, ILL, September 3.-The
union printers on the daily journal of this
city struck. The force was about evenly
divided between union and non union men.
The foreman, who was a recent acquisition
to the force, discharged a non-uniOn man to
make room for one who belonged to the
union. The proprietor would not allow this,
whereupon the union men quit work forcing
the non-union men to go out also.
That night the union men received inform
alton that Linn, one of the non-union men,
was going to work the next day. They inn
mediately visited him and threatened to kill
him unless he left town Immediately. He
was last seen being escorted to the depot. IL
is feared by some that Linn has met with
foul play. Lebnecher, another non-union
man, went to work Wednesday. When ne
left the office the union men, who were lying
in wait, made for him with clubs and brick
bats and would probably have seriously in
jured him but for the Intervention of some
citizens.
The affair caused much excitement and the
alleged leaders of the strike have been in
dicted by the grand jury for conspiracy and
intimidation. Five are now IN jail and quiet
has been restored.

ROYAL Taffy.

BERLIN, September "a grand parade
of the troops engaged in the army maneuv-
ers was held near Eichholz, in the presence
of Emperor William and Francis Joseph,
the king of Saxony, Chancellor Won Caprivi
and Count Kalnoky. At the conclusion of
the parade, Emperor William gathered the
officers in q group and addressed them, conf
mending their efforts in the field. His
majesty thanked Emperor Francis Joseph
and the king of Saxony for attending the
maneuvers, and said that he hoped what they
had seen had convinced them that the army
remained as efficient under his leadership as
it was under that of Emperor William L,
thus furnishing guarantee of the continued
solidity and strength of the brotherhood of
arms. He then called for cheers for the
Austrian emperor, which were enthusiast
cally given by the officers. Emperor Fran
clsJoseph in his response to Emperor VIII
liam's speech said he was proud of having an
ally in command of such troops. The whole
operation had given him special qualification.
On leaving the field the royal party drove TO
Leignitz. The route was lined with local
associations and the populace in festal dress.
After taking luncheon at the castle the party
proceeded to the railway station, where EN-
peror William babe his guests farewell.

ZANZIBAR, September 19.-ihe slavery
proclamation was signed by the German
commanders Of the respective stations.
Brokers' houses are now full of slaves, hav-
ing been established snder German license.
Permits to recover runaways will lead to
much kidnapping of free natives. The news
of the proclamation has spread over the
whole coast, and the traffic has revived to an
extent unknown in thirty years.
LoNDoS.-The London morning papers
are full of diatribes against the German slave
decree at Bagamopa, which is denounced as
monstrous perversion of the treaty stipula-
lions and as bitter commentary upon EN-
peror Williams glib professions for human
ity. 1t is declared to be the duty of the
civilized world to protest against Germany's
action.

Help for the Strikers.

LONDON, September 22.-The dock, wharf,
riverside and general laborers' union, num-
bering over a half a million members, OF
whom 10000 are in London, has decided to
make a levy of one shilling, or twenty five
cents per week upon each member for the
benefit of the Australian strikers.
From this source alone, therefore, the sum
of $40, 900 q week can be realized. Nearly
5000 dock laborers, employed at the VIC
toria and Albert docks, however, have volun-
tarily offered to contribute Is cents per day
instead of per week.
George Shipton, the secretary of the Lon
don trades council, and who is issuing ap-
peals to all the trades unions of the country,
says there is no doubt that the London COM
mittee will be able to forward as much as
half million dollars a week to Australia for
some time to come, should the struggle be
prolonged.
