when the accused would not promise 10
obey the laws in the future, that it seemed
strange, since the Mormons were all the
time circulating absurd claims through
the press and in congress that polygamy
is being abandoned They were proclaim
ing il abroad that polygamy is not being
praeticed in Utah. yet there was an unus-
ually large number of such offenders ap-
pearing at every term for sentence, and
they would not even promise to obey the
laws. Their pretensions Of obedience pub
lished to the world were made in bad
faith.

The Presidents outing-An Extra Session
of Congresa PrnbnbIe.

~ NphAttHn l7FobAbiss
CRHSsoS, Pa, Sept. i6 The president Is
10 receipt of several invitations to visit
different parts of the state, but he has not
yet accepted any OF them. The Grand Army
posts OF Pittshurg are anxious TO have tho
president participate in tho celebration OF
the Grand Army at Rock Point, near Pitts
burg, on Wednesday next. The Grand
Army post of Tyrone, Pa, has notified the
president OF its intention TO visit him on
Wednesday, While not making positive
engagement to be here on the arrival of the
veterans, reply has been made to the effect
that he will be glad to sec them at any
time, but as he contemplates making sew
eral trips about the mountains by rail dur
ing the week he may not be at his cottage
when they arrive. 1t has been suggested
to the post that the president will surely
be at Cresson at 10 clock a. m. on Wednes-
day, and it is quite probable that the recep-
tion will be arranged for shat hour.
Private Secretary Haltord has notified
Mr.. George w. Boyd that the president
will be ready at any time to accept the in
yitations which have been extended to him
TO visit the points Of interest along the
Pennsylvania railroad. These excursions
will occupy nearly day each, and will
take IN, among other points, Johnstown.

road; the famous horseshoe bend. and
probably Clearteld, Pa. The president
has decided that he would not return 70
Washington this week, unless he was
Obliged to do so on pressing public bust
ness. The weather having become very
inyigoratng he desires to take advantage
OF it to the last possible moment. There
are good reasons for stating that President
Harrison has not yet definitely determined
whether or not it will be necessary to call
an extra session of congress. lie has been
urged to do so by a number of Republican
leaders, with view to giving more time
for consideration of the federal elections
bill, and the belief prevails in well in
formed circles that he is still seriously
considering the question.
In the event of the failure Of action this

the court bin and the respective labor bills
in the senate, and the failure OF the house
to pass the postal shipping bill, the argu-
ment for an extra session would seem to
be very well founded, and considering the
great interest which has been manifested
by the president Ia the success of the elec-
tions bill, and in fact all of the other meas.
ures named, it is the opinion of those who
have conyersed with him that an extra
