How the Authorities Allow
Poiygamists 10 Enter the
Country.

That the present administration is
not doing It's duty toward the territor-
les is evident from the large numbers
OF pOlygamous Mormons arriving at
Castle Garden and being allowed TO
land unmolested. The following dis
patch will convince any reasonable
man of this fact.
New YORK. Oct. 4-The authorities
at the barge Office this morning used
an immense amount of moral persua-
sion on thirty-two young Mormons
that arrived yesterday on the steamer
Wyoming, to induce them TO forego
their intention of becoming proselytes

ated from the other passei gers as
they landed and placed in room by
themselves The female missionaries
from the emigrant girls home went
among them and tried to convince
them Of the folly Of the course they
proposed to follow. One OF the girls,
Karen Syivesterson by name, who
acted as spokeswoman for tho party,
frankly Acknowledged that they were
all willing to be one Of seven or eight
wives and were fully aware Of the
principles Of .ormOnism. The gifls
are all young and some Of them re-
markedly pretty. The attempt OF the
missionaries influence proved an
utter failure. Entire party viii pro-
coed on their journey tom orrow. The
party comprises all told two hnndrcd
and two souls, Of whom - are child
rem. Among the lot is married
English woman who left her husband
ia England, to take up the Mormon
faith.
John Mott, Assistant United States
District Attorney, is quoted as saving
that the present regulations Of the
Treasury Department are amply sutii-
cient 70 keep out these people.
