NEW YORK, Dec. 22-John Young. son Of
Brigham Young, was interviewed here to.
day regarding the announcement from
Lima, Ohio. last night, about the scheme of
colonizing Mormons in Mexico. He said
negotiations for the proposed concession
were not concluded. If they are concluded.
it will be for five. not three, million acres.
There is neither intention nor possibility.
he said. of introducing the practice Of
polyRamy in Mexico. Furthermore, the
terms of the concession do NOS confine the
settlement to Mormons, but leave it open TO
all persons of good character. Colonists
will be subject to Mexican laws. If the
negotiations succeed Young will, under the
concession, build fifteen hundred miles Of
railroad in Mexico. A dispatch from Ohio
to. night says B. G. Fourop. whose name was
connected with the matter, states that the
contract made with Young is for a railroad
south of Deming, N. NJ. and has nothing to
do With Mormon colonization.

HARTFORD, Dec. 22.-Mrs. Mary D. Hyde,
ct Oxford, Mass, recently brought suit fol
$4,000 against Mrs. Alice Il. HYDE. of

LONDON, Dec. 22.-A dispatch from Kill
kenny to the Daily News saws there is not
the slightest doubt that Hennessy, anti
Parnellite. is elected BY at least 800 ma aiori-
ty. In an interview this evening, Parnell
said he expected the majority would be
small whichever party won. He hoped the
bitterness Of language that marked the con-
est will be forgotten. His eyes are much
better. Davitt this evening said he was con-
fident Hennessy's majority would be 1000.
During the polling at Kilkenny an
alteration took plaos between Harrington
and number of friends. This was occa-
stoned by what Harrington termed the
priests interference with the voters. Hot
words were exchanged and in spite of Har-
rington's protests, the priests continued
their work of influencing the voters thought
to be leaning toward Parnell.
Timothy Harrington says priestly coer-
cion was exercised in North Kilkenny and
that the Parnellites have good ground to
contest the validity of Hennessy's election,
should he be returned.

ately planned canvass to ascertain the
opinions of farmers throughout the country
on certain questions has been conducted on
an extensive scale for the past three months
by the agricultural press, of Springfield, in
connection with other farming journals,
west and east. Nearly 10000 cards have
been received in answer. The questions
were on certain practical, economic and
political issues, including ideas on the tariff
and government ownership of railroads
and telegraph. The final question was
who should be the republican and demo-
cratic nominees for the presidency in '92.
The answers have been fully tabulated only
SO far az they relate to, this last question.
but enough has been done to show that
federal aid to agricultural education aud the
teachings of agricultural science in rural
schools are overwhelmingly endorsed. Sen
timent regarding government ownership of
railroads is quite evenly divided. Many who
vote against such ownership insist Oh gov
ernment supervision and full control Of
railroads. The views expressed as to the
new traiff law, reciprocity and the proposed
modification of the national bank policy
are so diverse that it will be some days be-
fore they are classified. In reference to
the vote for presidential candidates, is is
explained that the journals interested in
terpreted the November elections as mean
ing that farmers were weary of old favor
ties and old measures, and demanded new
men and new issues. These journals there
fore advocated Secretary Rusk and Con-
gresham Hatch as proper republican and
democratic standard bearers for '92. In
spite of this, however, the farmers expressed
their preference for presidential candidates
in the following manner:

NEw YoRK, Dec. 2o.-The story printed
this morning that Chinese leper is to be
treated with Koch lymph in private room
at Bellevue hospital grew out OF the fact
that on his arrival recently from Berlin DR..
Loomis made some inquiries for patients
with leprosy. Nothing WAS done by him in
the matter and perhaps nothing will
be done. He asked because lepers had been
treated with Koch's lymph and he thought
the experiment worth trying. At 10 Pell

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day rendered
an important decision in the Mormon po-
lygamy case. holding that the wife is not a
competent witness against hor husband
where the polygamy crime is charged. The
case came up on the appeal of Wm. E.
Bassett. who in 1886 was found guilty Of
polyga,ny on the testimony of his first wife,
from whom he was divorced after he took
second wife. The former wife's testimony
was the only direct evidence produced and
1t was upon her testimony that Bassett's
was secured. He took an ap-
peal to the supreme court of Utah, contend
ING that wife's testimony was inadmissi-
bic and when the territorial court decided
against him brought the case here. This
court reverses the decision of the territor-
Ial court and holds that wife is an in
competent witness. The case was remand
ed to the Utah courts, with directions to
grant new trial.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-[Special. IA New
England lady, relative of Gen. Terry.
who knew the general intimately all his
life, throws the following interesting light
upon his choice Of military career: I'VE
all thought when Cousin Alfred was a
young man that he would be eventually a
lawyer. 1t seems to me no young man ever
had harder start in life than he. Late in
life his father lost all he had and Alfred
had to support his aged parents. To add
to his hardships. his brother, who held a
position of trust at Hartford, got into
trouble financially and Alfred had to work
for good many years to set things right,
He was for long time clerk Of the su
preme court, using up every cent Of his sal
ary to pay his brothers debts and at the
same time support the family. He was al
ways interested In military history. l can
remember that his only luxury was small
collection OF military books, mainly public
documents sent to him by tho Connecticut
senators and congressman. All through
the Crimean war he made nightly
study of the different movements
of the contesting forces. He sent to Lon
don for map of the seat Of war and by
means of little pins to which were attached
the colors Of the EnRlish, French, Turkish,
Russian and later the Sandman divisions
of the armies, he kept abreast of all the
movements of that most momentous Euro
pean struggle and studied out step by step
the strategic trend Of the war. know he

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The commissioner
of Indian affairs has received from Indian
Agent Mclaughlin report of the fight be-
tween the Indian police and the followers
of Sitting Bull on the 18th inst, when that
chief was captured. The report does NOT
differ materially from what has already
been printed. The agent speaks in the very
highest terms of the Judgment and bravery
of the Indian police and strongly urges
that a generous allowance be made for the
families of those killed. Besides the In.
dian police there were four volunteers. Gray

WASHINGTON, Dec 22.-For some time
past it has been the practice of the treasury
department to return to China, at govern
ment expense, all Chinese laborers convict
ed of entering our territory in violation of
the exclusion act. This applied to China
men smuRgled over the Mexican and Cana
dian borders as we'll as those coming direct
from China. A recent decision by Judge
Maxey, of the United States district court
for the western district of Texas. however,
will. if sustained, compel a material modi-
fioation of the practice. It is, in effect,
that the government has no right under the
law to send to China Chinese laborers who
enter the United. States from contiguous
countries, unless evidence is produced that
they came from China; or, in other
authorizing their return ito the country
whence they came'' should in such cases, be
construed to mean the contiguous country,
and not China. In the case in question
two Cinnamon who had been convicted be-
fore United States commissioner of un-
lawfully entering. the United States from
Mexico, were ordered to be deported to
China at government expense. Their coun-
eel applied to Judge Maxey for writ of
habeas corpus, and after hearing their evil
dence he ordered their release from GUS
tody on the ground that the commissioner
had exceeded his authority in ordering
them sent to China. He held that they
could lawfully be sent to Mexico and no
whore else. Reports from special treasury
agents are to the effect that the adoption Of
the course suggested by the court would af-
ford no relief whatever, as Cinnamon re-
turned to Mexico would remain in the
and come back into our territory
ut the first opportunity. Secretary VIM
