IMMIGRATION
From the East Seems to BE to
the Western States
Notwithstanding the South is
Anxious for Them.

The South Asks for 1000, 900 EasterI
Immigrants, Including Capitalists, tc
Aid In Developing the Great Richness
of the Southern states-NTay Have to
Wait Until the West is Settled Up.
New York, Dec. 24.-The Sun says
There is not as yet bright prospect
of success for the new scheme to trans
fer population from the eastern states
of the Union to the states lying south
of the Potomac. The scheme was de-
vised at the interstate immigration con
vention held last week at Asheville in
North Carolina.
That convention expressed the desire
of the southern states, which were rep
resented in 1t, when it called for mill
ion eastern immigrants, including capi-
talists prepared to establish factories,
foundries and workshops there. 1t pro-
vided for the sending out Of lecturers
to describe the attractions of the south
and for exhibiting through the north
the productions of the south and for the
establishment of immigrant headquar-
ters in Washington.
1t also adopted a resolution in favor
of the appointment of commissioners
of emigration by the southern states.
So far as information has been obtained
here and in New England, there is not
likely to be any considerable transfer of
population from the eastern states to
the southern at this time. The eastern
tides still flow toward the northwest
and have swept broadlyin that direction
during the present year as in past
years.
The land that can he got out west is
not offered in the south and the factories
already established in hundreds of
western cities and towns are more at
tractive than those not yet built, for ex-
ample. in North Carolina. In the state
Of Visions n, within the past few
weeks, crowds Of squatters have
been waiting TO take up lands on
the big reserve strip that has Just
been opened to settlement and
recent dispatch from Eau Claire told
of the struggle at the land office there
among the settlers who were anxious to
get possession of claims. It is land that
is wanted by most of the people who
leave their eastern homes for distant
parts Of the country, and this cannot be
procured in the south on the same
terms that it may be obtained in the far
west
There is a heavy immigration to the
new state of Washington, on the Pacific
coast, and all the states near there are
trying to outdo each other in Offering
inducements to settlers In course Of
time there will doubtless beasouthward
movement of eastern people, but it is
not likely to take place until the choice
lands of the fur west have been taken
up.

THE MESSIAH INTERVIEWED.


Queetize Ow Describes His Experience
With the Almighty.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec D. The we'll
known Indian scout, A. |. Chapman,
has just returned here from Nevada,
where he went in November for the
purpose of interviewing the so-called
Messiah. He first went to Walker S
Lake, New, and talked with the Piutes.
who told him the Messiah had been re-
ceiving calls from all the tribes i'll the
west. Chapman had an interview with
the Messiah at the west fork of the
Walker river in Nevada.
Chapman Gays the Messiah gave his
name as "QueetiZe Ow. He is full
blooded Piute. He spoke freely of his
call to preach. His first experience with
the Almighty was one afternoon while
hunting. Hearing noise he started to
ind its cause when he was thrown to
the ground by some unseen power He
was taken to heaven and there saw all
the whites and Indians that had lived
and died upon the earth. He was sub
sequently brought to the same spot
where he had fallen dead God told
him that he wanted him {" Queetize 0w y
to undertake the mission of reforming
the earth, aud he set out at once to per-
form the mission
He taught the Indians that they
should work and avoid fighting, except
in self-defense. Last summer the In
dians told him that unless it rained soon
the crops would fail He told them to
20 home and in three days an abundance
Of rain fell. Queetize Ow got his ideas
from religious family with whom he
lived
Chapman thinks Queetize Ow only in
directly to blame for the Indian upris-
ing, and that the doctrine imbued the
Indians with more independent spirit to
resist their wrongs.

feet that the woman was subject TO
epileptic fits. and might have killed Mrs.
Hogg while in that condition, Home
Secretary Matthews decided not to in
terfere with the course of Justice, ON
the ground that the crime bore conclu-
sive evidence of deliberation, and as to
the death OF the child at least, also OF
premeditation.
During the past few days Mrs. Pearcey
has been much broken down, instead of
maintaining the calm front which she
showed ut her trial She frequently
threw herself on the bed and sobbed
convulsively. But she made no confess
sion until Tuesday morning. Her
mother saw her for the last time Mon
day night During the night Mrs.
Peareey was quiet and resigned. She
got up early and prayed for some hours
To he chaplain she acknowledged that
sentence was just, at the same time as
serting that much of the evidence was
false, She never mentioned Hogg, and
gave the impression that she alone was
guilty of the murders. The hanging
passed off without incident, the unhap-
py woman dying al2Rpst instantly. Ac-
cording to Engslsma law she will be
buried in the jail yard. The crime was
committed in October.
The Crime.
Mrs. Pearcey and Frank Hogg
had been friendly before Hoggs
marriage, and were intimate after
it, Mrs. Pearcey being supported
by gentleman of means named Chrich-
ton. Mrs. Pearcey was madly in love
with Hogg and maintained an appear
ance Of friendship with Mrs Hogg, who
knew nothing of the intimacy. Mrs.
Pearcey invited Mrs. Hogg to visit her
one afternoon and bring the baby, then
eighteen motnhs old. According to Mrs.
Pearcey's partial confession Mrs. Hogg
came and they had some words. What
followed was shown by her blood
stained kitchen and the finding Of the
bodies of Mrs. Hogg and child. After
Draining Mrs Hogg with u poker and
cutting her throat, Mrs, Pearcey prob
ably suffocated the child.
Then under cover of darkness she con-
veyed the body of Mrs. nogg about
mile in a baby carriage, and left IL on
the roadside. The body Of the child she
deposited in field. The police suspect
ed her from her actions when she went
with Clara Hogg, the murdered
wornan's sister-in-law, to identify the
body of Mrs. Hogg. Search of her house
revealed the evidence of murder. The
husband, Frank Hogg, was for some
time under surveillance, and narrowly
escaped lynching. The authorities be-
came satisfied, however, that he was
ignorant of the murder.

DEADLY EXPLOSION OF A "cINDER.'
worlumen in a Rail Mill Horribly Burned

Worlunen in Rail Mill Horribly Burned
TRENTON, ~ j., Dec. PA horrible
explosion occurred at the New Jersey
steel and iron works Monday afternoon.
and five men We're probably fatally in
iured. The men We're injured by the
explosion of q "cinder, or mass of
molten iron which had just been taken
from the furnace at white heat When
the iron is taken from the furnace there
are men standing ready with buckets
full of water to throw over it for the
purpose of cooling it. This is done only
upon the order of the man in charge of
the furnace, who is the judge of the
proper time for the use of the water.
Michael Fuda did not heed the orders
of the furnace man, and threw the
water too soon.
No sooner had the water struck the
molten mass than the hot iron exploded
with a loud report, and hunks of iron
weighing hundreds of pounds flew in all
directions about the rail mill, where
the furnace stood. The men were
knocked down like so many sticks, and
their clothing and flesh were set ON fire.
The sight was sickening Michael
Fuda had his eyes burned out and a
large hole burned in his neck and body.
George Lihtall is also badly burned,
the flesh in many parts of his body
being burned off Michael Gossula is
so horribly burned as to be unrecog-
nizable, and Michael Goperip has a
cash in his abdomen, and his physician
saws he cannot recover. The fifth man
is German, and it is impossible to
learn how badly he is injured. Several
physicians are attending the men. 1t is
reported that several others were in
iured bv the same explosion.

WON'T Listen to Poace Talk.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. Oak, Dec.
24.-Stands First, widely known as one
of the most sagaeious of Indian scouts,
has returned from a spying errand to
the hostile camp. Gen. Brooke sent him
out last Thursday and he spent all Of
Saturday in the hostile camp. When
he attempted to present to them the
peaceful mission ON which he had been
sent the Indians levelled their guns at
him and his voice was drowned in the
babel of their war cries,
Then one Of the leaders among the
hostiles said to him that they would
listen to no more peace talk and they
would never again allow an advocate of
peace to leave their camp alive. The
statements they made week ago to the
big peace party sent out to parley with
them. to the effect that the white sol
diers were towards and afraid TO fight
them. were reiterated with great vehe-
mence. Stands First says there are q
few in the hostile camp who would
be willing to come in, but a great ma
jority, he thinks, viii not.

REMOVAL OF THE MoRMoNs.
Interview with John w. Young in New
York the Subject.

CNFNAAN
York the Subject
New YORK, Dec "a "A dispatch in
Monday mornings papers from Lima,
o., announced that John w. Young,
a son of Brigham Young, had obtained
a concession of 5000, 600 acres of land in
Mexico, and intended to send there TO-
000 Mormon colonists, who would again
be free to practice polygamy. Mr..
Young was interviewed on the subject
at his office in this city. He declared
the published statements erroneous in
| several important particulars. In the
first place the negotiations under the
proposed concessions have not been
concluded, and, if they should be, will
be for 5000, 600 not 5000, 600 acres. In
the next place there is neither intention
nor possibility of introducing the prac-
tice of polygamy iii Mexico
That is as impossible under Mexican
laws as under those of the United
States, besides, the proclamation of
President Woodruff, of the Mormon
church. disposed of the question finally
in all Mormon settlements by requiring
obedience to the laws of the land on the
subject. Further, said Mr.. Young, the
colonization scheme for Mexico does not,
under the terms OF the proposed concee-
sion, confne the settlement to Nor
mons, but leaves it open to all persons
of good character, irrespective of
creed. The colonists will be subject to
Mexican laws. If the negotiations with
Mexico come TO a satisfactory issue, Mr..
Young will, under the concession. build
1900 miles of railroad in that country.
Looking for Location in Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 24.-The
Mormons in Utah are looking in this di-

City; j. S. Lee, Toyela City; Jsapes Mel

brook, Bountifnl, left this city Midday,
giving out that they are looking for
some suitable point in this section to
locate, They say frankly that Utah is
getting too hot for the people of their
faith, and seem to think that in this
region they may find foothold. There
is very strong sentiment against them.
however, in the minds of the country
