LATTER DAY SAINTS.

ABranch Organized In Chicago Which does
not Believe in PolygAmy.
CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-An effort is about to
be made to establish permanently in Chi
caRo the sect known as the Reorganized
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints in modest way. Gatherings of
those in the city who maintain this faith
have been held, but not until now has there
been any attempt at organization. The
headquarters Of the denomination is at
Lamont, Decatur county, Iowa, Within a
few weeks, it is said. missions will proba-
bly, be established in different parts of the
city. where services will be held regularly.
A preliminary meeting was held to- day at
213 Madison street. The people present
were more earnest than numerous. Elder E..
G: Biggs, Of Iowa, preached the sermon, in
which the fundamental principles of the
faith were explained. The sect declares
seph Smith. to be the truth. but rejects the
doctrine of plural marriages.

Prospects of American Pork and Lard Get
ting Into Italy.
ROME, Dec. oS.-The Italian government
several years ago prohibited the importa-
tion Of American pork and lard and soon
after extended the prohibition to all coun-
tries. It has just taken . step, however.
which it is believed will result in the re-
moval of the restriction against tho United
States. The minister Of the interior has
just issued a decree removing the restric-
tion against Germany. The decree recites
that the minister is satisfied Germany is
taking every safeguard to insure the health
of its homo products. The certificate from
a health officer is to accompany each ship
ment. lnasmuch as the inspection laws Of
Germany are no more rigid than those ex-
listing in the United States, it 10 believed
that Italy, whose trade. relations
rapidly ~ growing owing until until now now they they
reach figures that are exceeded only
by three nations, will be willing, to remove
the embargo upon American pork and lard
upon similar assurances from the United
States OF thorough inspection. u ia known
that the government is highly pleased with
the increasing trade with the United States,
which has been less affected by the new
tariff than that OF other nations. 1t Is be-
lleved that the matter has been taken up
by Secretary Blame and that negotiations
are pending.

shippers are now in this country. They

Owing to the inability of j. H. Smith &

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-As further facts

that almost every man. in the senate was

WASHINGTON, Dec. o8.-When the house
committee on rules met the other day to
determine whether the subsidy and bounty
bills should be allowed q day for consider
alton, it does not pass the bounds OF truth
to say that there were members who eagerly
waited for the frst intimation that that

time for debate on these bills. It 10 pos
sible favored few knew day or two in
advance what q majority of that committee
would do. II 1t were asked why SO much
interest was taken in mere prospective
legislative debate the answer would be to
look at the price at which Pacific mail
stock was quoted before there was any GER
tainty of the committee agreeing to give a
day, and then compare the steady advance
of the price Of that stock as it became
known in Wall Btreet-hrst contidentially
and the publicly that the house was to

would certainly enhance the value Of Pa

reason why it might not also be alleged
that for the same reason members OF the

knowledge that certain stock would sure-

what report says has been n common prac.

A rule of the house forbids any member
voting on any question in which he is pc.

who have been speculating on it may scrup

members may do these very things and gel
not actually violate their oath or obligation
as members of congress- according to the
modern standard of congressional honor.
