Cutting Passenger Rates In Denver.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. Especial tele-
gram TO The HERALD For some days
eastern passenger rates have been greatly
disturbed BY the large number of return
tickets in the hands of scalpers who have
been cutting rates freely among themselves
TO work off their accumulations These
were obtained from PARTIES who came west
on excursion tickets, and the market has
been flooded. The general offices yester-
day afternoon of the Missouri Pacific an
nonnced a reduced rate from Denver to
st. Louis and return, and to- day the Santa
t'e met this by announcing rate of S3O65
to Chicago and return, which was met at
noon by smaller rate on the Rock Island
The Burlington and Union Pacific have not
yet announced a change, but the indica-
lions point to lively war, and the proba.
oilities are that the scalpers will be badly
left in the merciless slaughter which seems
imminent

RUSSIAN JEWS.
The President Transmits to the House a Re.
port on Them by Secretary Blaine.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The President
to-day transmitted to the House, in answer
to resolution concerning the enforcement
of the proscriptive edicts against the Jews
in Russia, a report from the secretary of
state upon the subject. In his letter Secre.
tary Blaine refers to the correspondence on
the same subject sent to the House in 1882
and says since that date correspondence
has been had with the government of Rus
sia in several cases of alleged interference
of the Russian authorities with the rights
of citizens of the United States
processing or being supposed to profess the
Jewish faith.
He says the correspondence shows that
the United States government has omitted
no proposition of remonstrance against the
application of religious test to our citizens
in Russia or having interests in Russia, and
against the enforcement of the disoualif-
cation founded on such test, which proceed
ing Is without the warrant of recognition
IN the treaty stipulation between the
United States ana Russia; and, moreover.
is repugnant to the fundamental doctrine
of the freedom of conscience and equality
of religions on which organized society al
most universally rests.
The secretary further says that when it
was first reported that the Russian gov
eminent was about to take the measure
resulting in the expulsion Of vast numbers
of its subjects because of their religion.
our charge d'affairs at St. Petersburg adj
vised the department that he had the high
eft authority for maintaining that the Rus
sian government does not contemplate any
change from the present lenient enforce
ment of the Jewish edicts of 1882.

TRYING to Dlssuade Mormons.

New YoRK, Oct. 2.-The authorities al
the barge Office this morning used an i'm
mense amount of moral persuasion on uhlr
ty-two young Mormons that arrived yes
terday on the steamer Wyoming to induce
them to forego their intention of becoming
proselytes to the Mormon faith. The girls
were separated from other passengers as
they landed and placed in a room by them
selves. Three female missionaries from
the Emigrant Girls home went among
and tried to convince them of the folly OF
the course they proposed TO follow. One of
the girls, Karen Sylyestersen by name.
who acted as spokeswoman for the party,
frankly acknowledged that they were ali
willing to be one of seven or eight wives
and were fully aware of the principles of
Mormonism. The girls are all young and
some of them remarkably pretty. The at
tempt of the missionaries to influence them
proved an utter failure. The entire party
will proceed on their journey to- morrow
The party comprises all told POP souls. of
whom thirty-two are children. Among the
lot is married English woman who left
her husband in England to take up the
Mormon faith

BoisE CRY, Id, Oct. Especial tele
gram TO THE HERALD. The election re-
turns sent last night were taken from pla-
cards posted in the Statesman Office win
dows. They proved unreliable. Fuller
returns show this county to have gone
Democratic. Payette, which was reported
last night to have gone Republican, ap-
pears 10 have given Two Democratic ma
jority. All the Democratic representa-
tives in the Legislature, three in number,
as well as the joint representative with
fillmore and the two senators, are elected
with the possible exception of one member.
Upon the county officers the Democrats
have made a clean sweep A dis
patch from Boise county this even
ing says it is Democratic. The
same character of news comes from Wash
ington. There are scattering returns from
the north, but nothing reliable. Were il
not for the unexpected turn of events in
Idaho, the Democrats would probably have
carried the state.
A dispatch inst received from n. c.
Wickersham from Rocky Bar says
that Elmore county has gone Democratic

The Raum Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Judge Sawyer, on
behalf of the majority of the Raum com
inittee stated tonight to an Associated
Press reporter that he had learned with
surprise that the minority report had been
given out. 1t was well understood by the
committee that the evidence was not all in
and the investigation not closed. Taking
up the allegations in the minority report
one by one, Judge Sawyer said there was
not one OF the statements that he believed
was borne out by the evidence. Incomplete
though it was as to the list of stockholders.
the proof showed that Smyser subscribed
alone for the stock. Tanners promotion
was shown to be made in fulfillment of a
promise to Raum's predecessor. There
was no evidence to show that any body en-
ployed in the pension office was directly or
indirectly owner of any stock in the
refrigerator company. the majority had
carefully analysed the testimony with re-
gard TO favoritism TO attorneys, and he had
reached the conclusion that favoritism was
impossible. The majority of the committee
earnestly approved the orders establishing
the completed files system as expediting
business. They found there was no evil
dence to show that the commissioner ever
failed to give that time and attention to his
duties which he should be expected to-
Judge Sawyer remarked in conclusion that
he gave expression 10 what he
understood to be the views of the
majority with some hesitation because he
did not understand the investigation was
yet closed, but as the minority had seen lit
10 make the statement public, be thought
1t only proper to do so.
When asked in regard to Lemons en-
dorsement, Judge Sawyer replied that the
evidence established the fact that Lemon
bad endorsed notes for General Raum to
the extent of $4,000 and received as col
lateral 1000 shares in the Gypsum Min
ing company in Virginia. The evil
dence was brought to Lemons at
tention before Raum became commissioner.
The only evidence before the committee as
to the value Of share was that one sale
had been made at S34 per share, and that
others in interest with him made the sub
scription.
With regard 10 Bradley Tanner, Com
missioner Raum's private secretary, the
evidence showed that at the outside he had
only written four or five letters on the re-
frigerator company's business in the pen
sion Office during office hours. His associa-
ton with the District of Columbia branch
of the company was purely nominal and
the company itself had not yet been
brought into active existence.

tanning several thousand dollars and other
valuables. While they were at work a
brakeman attempted to enter the car and
was shot at by one Of the robbers He
gave the alarm and the train slowed up to

Messenger Scudder was bound in his

Scudder before leaving the car. Placing
the revolver at his head he pulled the trig-

The other robber then prevented him from
trying again. When the train pulled cut

AFFAIRS IN ARIZONA.
The Acting Governor Makes His
Annual Report.
THE MORMON QUESTION LOOMS UP.
The Test Oath Asked for-The Raum Inyesti.
galion-Judge Sawyer and the
Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. a. The affairs
OF the territory OF Arizona during
the fiscal year just closed are de-
tailed in report made to the secretary of
the interior by N. C. Murphy, acting gov
ernor
He states that he is unof1icially in
formed that the recent census shows the
population of the territory to be $500, ex-
elusive of indians and military reserva-
tions and with those who live on the res
ervations (not Indians), the population of
the territory will probably exceed 10000, a
gain in ten years. of 1850.
The mining industry, the report states,
is in moro healthy condition than ever.
But more attention is being paid to agri-
culture, owing to the productiveness of the
lands.
Owing to restrictive legislation in Idaho
| and probability of similar action in Utah.
the acting governor thinks the immigra-
1lon OF Mormons to Arizona will increase
The number of Mormons now in the
territory is estimated at one fifth of the
population. The report states that unless
restrictive measures are adopted, the
territory will become Mormonised to
Sucu an extent as TO seriously
disturb society and the affairs
OF government and prejudice the ter
ritory's chances for statehood. He there
fore recommends that Congress grant the
same protection to Arizona as is enjoyed
by Idaho, and that the Idaho test oath be
made applicable to Arizona.
The report says Arizona has quite a
sprinkling of Mexicans among her people, a
majority of themshave become naturalized
citizens and are in sympathy with Ameri-
cen laws and customs
There are few Chinese in the territory
as compared with the Pacific coast states,
and as yet they cut no figure as disturb
ing element, although they are very OBJ
iectionable as class and their exclusion
is as much desired in Arizona as else
where.
The acting governor recommends that an
enabling act for the admission of Arizona
into the union be passed by Congress :;
that all public lands within the territory be
donated to it, that all school lands be do
mated TO the territory for school purposes !;
that the San Carlos Apache Indians be re-
moved from the territory, and their reser-
walton be opened for settlement; that the
salaries Of the present judges in Arizona
be increased to 5000 per year, and that
the pay of legislators be increased to $40
| per day.

A Tariff Bill Omission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. at appears an i'm
portant omission was made in the tariff
bill as enrolled and signed. Section 30 of
the internal revenue schedule, origin
ally stricken out by the Senate and subse-
quently restored by the conference, was
completely omitted in the enrolment. This
section provided for an allowance of a
drawback on smoking and manufactured
tobacco ana smut held IN unbroken pack
ages in the hands of manufacturers at the
date when the reductions go into effect AS
this date is January next, however. there
will still be ample opportunity for Congress
at the next session to correct the error by
supplemental legislation.
