UTAH INDUSTRIAL HOME.
Report Of the Comm ssion on the Progress c
the Instifufiop

Report Of the Comm ssion on the Progress Of
the Institution.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The report by the
Utah Commission regarding the Utah In
dustrial Home, which was established by
the Edmunds law as an asylum for Mormon
apostate women, has been presented to
the Senate. The number of inmates is
only twenty-eight The commission at
tributes the small number partly to "femae
pride" and partly to the restraining influ-
ence OF the Mormon Church. The commits
sion believes, however, that the establish
ment OF the institution has not been unpro-
ductlye OF good results. The managers of
the industrial Home ask Congress for an
appropriation to buy sewing machines.
They think the latter will prove to be seduc-
tive influences, and the commission hopes
the Industrial Home will do better in the
future and that they VIII be successful in
persuading many old Mormon women to
enter 1t.
The report recommends that some dis
cretlon be given the commission in the
matter of admission OF beneficiaries and
that they be permitted to pay their trans
portation expenses from different parts of
the Territory to the home, by which means
they would secure larger number of in
mates. Regarding the success of the under
taking the report states that the completion
of the home building is so recent that the
association has not yet had fair oppor-
tunlty to demon strate its success.

CONTRACT LABOR.
Bill Prepared by the Joint Committee to
Regulate immigration.

A Bill Prepared by the Joint Committee to
Regulate Immigration.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-Representative
composing the House contingent of the
Joint Congressional Committee on Immi-
grafton have agreed upon bill to regulate
immigration. Chairman Owen will report
the bill as soon as possible. In explanation
of the general features Of the measure Owen
to-day said: " 1t is new contract-labor
law. The old law is so wretchedly ineffi-
cient that according to the testimony of the
Labor Inspectors themselves % per cent of
the immigration now coming to this country
is in violation of the contract-labor law.
That statute was framed TO meet the condi-
ton OF things that existed at the time the
law was passed. Employers have changed
their methods, and The law is unable to
reach them. 1t is practically useless, so we
have framed new law. We have also very
much enlarged the inhibited classes of i'm
migrants" The bill is substantially that
introduced week ago by Owen. and here
tofore published. Polygamous persons are
added to the list of classes defined in Oweu's
bill as not entitled TO be admitted into the
United States. The tax upon aliens, which
in Owens bill was fixed at 80 cents, was in
creased by the committee to 81.

official dispatch TO Governor O'Brien, con-
cerning the French shore question, Lord

consult the Colonial Government as to the
steps to be taken i'll negotiating. but will re-
ceive suggestions. The dispatch has
awakened dissatisfaction and alarm here,
