GENTLE OPPOSITION.
The Fight Against Mormon Citizen
ship I'm Idaho.

snip In HOaMO
WASHINGTON, January 13 The Senate
Committee on Territories this morning
listened to Arguments against and in
support of the constitution prepared for
the proposed new State of Idaho. There
were present Bishop William Bulge, Of
Utah Ex-Governor Stoneman and John
Shoupe, of Idaho, and full attendance
of the members of the committee. Mr.
j. Il. Wilson, of this city, speaking OF
the Mormons, argued against the ac-
ceptance of the proposed constitution,
which disfranchises the Mormone, and
asserted that without the Mormon resi-
dents, who will thus be cut off from citi-
zenship, the population of the Territory
is not large enough to warrant making
a State of it. AS to the legal effect of the
proposition, Mr.. Wilson argued that
every good purpose would be served
by disfranchising the Mormons after
they were convicted of crime, in
stead of disfranchising them in
advance. Delegate Dubois, of Idaho,
replied to Mr.. Wilson in a long state
ment, reciting the history of the Nor
mon church and quoting from judicial
decisions in Idaho to sustain his aeser-
ton that it was criminal conspiracy.
He said it was necessary to disfran-
chise the Mormons In body in order to
destroy their political power, which
keeps them together. The conviction of
bigamy or polygamy is dfficdlt matter,
and when successful does not affect the
convict, Mr.. Dubois said, because six
months in the penitentiary has no effect
upon him. The only way to reach the
Mormon church, Mr.. Dubois asserted, is
to deprive it of political power, as this
constitution of Idaho, adopted with only
l, 700 dissenting votes, does.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
New YORK, January 13-The Worlds
Washington dispatch says: Delegate
Caine, of Utah, is indusiriously engaged
in distributing an "oficial declaration"
of the Mormon church. The document
is evidently intended to pave the way
for the admission Of the Territory. The
declaration is signed by Wilford Wood
ruff, George @. Cannon and Joseph F.
Smith, "of the Presidency of the church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; -
Lorenzo Snow, franklin r. Richards,
Brigham Young. Moses Thatcher, Fran
els M. Lyman, John Henry Smith,
George Teasdale, Heber ]. Grant, John
w. Taylor, M. w. Merrill, A. Ell. Lund,
Abraham II. Cannon, "mem-
bers of the Council of the Apos.
tles," and John w. Young and
Daniel H. Wells, counselors. The
declaration is addressed "To whom it
may concern" but it is supposed chiefly
to "concern" Congress. THE Mormon
church," it is affirmed, "views the she'd
ding of human blood with the utmost
adherence. We regard the killing of a
human being, except in conformity with
civil law, as capital crime, which should
be punished by the shedding of the
blood of the criminal after public trial
before legally constituted codrt. Not
withstanding all the stories told about
the killing of apostates, no case of this
kind has ever occurred, and of course
has never been established against the
church we represent. Hundreds of
seceders from the church have continu.
ously resided and now live in this Terri.
tory, many of whom have amassed con-
siderable wealth, though bitterly hostile
to the Mormon faith and people. Even
those who have made it their
business to fabricate the vilest false
hoods and to render them plausible by
culling isolated passages from old SER
mons, without the explanatory context,
and have suffered no opportunity to es-
cape them Of vilifying and blacke1ing
the character of QUO people, have re-
mained among those whom they have
thus persistently illuminated until the
present day, without receiving the
slightest personal injury. We declare
that no bishop or other court in this
church claims or exercises the right
to supercede, annul or modify the judg.
ment of any civil court; that this
church, while offering advice for
the welfare of it's members
in all conditions of life, does
not claim or exercise social or political
rights. The ballot in this Territory is
absolutely untrammeled and secret No
mans business or other secular aGsirs
are invaded by the church, or any Of its
officers. We declare that there is moth
ing in the ceremony of the endowment,
or in any doctrine, tenet, obligation or
injunction of this church, either private
or public, which is hostile or intended to
he hostile to the Government of the
United States. On the contrary, its
members are under divine command
ment to revere the constitution as a
heaven-inspired instrument"

New YORK, January 13.-A breach Of
promise OF marriage case, in which the
damages are placed at 500 900, was
begun before Judge Ingraham in the
Supreme Court here today. The plain
tiff is Miss Caroline J. Cammerer, 23
years old, daughter of Robert Gam
merer, of Philadelphia. The defendant
is Clemens Muller, a wealthy re-
tired real estate dealer, a man of
family. He is about 60 years
of age, and is prominent
member of the Liederkranz Society.
Plaintiff testified that during ramble in
Central park he proposed to her. She
gave him no decision then, but on the
18th of December, 1885, at Philadelp phia,
he again proposed and she accepted him
Soon afterwards she learned that he had
wife In an insane asylum. In answer
to her demand for an explanation, he said
he would get divorce, and later on as
sured her father that divorce had been
obtained in Indiana. In July, 1885, at
Rhinebeck, he introduced her as his be.
trothed, and soon afterward they came
to New York to make purchases for their
wedding. He SO urged her to hasten the
ceremony that she became ill, and when
che recovered he proposed mock mar
riage, which she Indignantly rejected.
He never returned to see her
since then, though he wrote her
several times. These are the allegations
of plairti tiff. Defendant denies them in
toto. Colonel Ingersoll, counsel for the
defendant; asked for dismissal of the
case on the ground that she relieved
him from the engagement. The motion
was depied and the case was continued
until tomorrow.

prohibiting the taking and killing oi
seals or other fur animals by any but
natives, and prescribing the number to
be taken each year. The bill proposes
to continue all other restrictions now in

IN THE SENATE.
Plumb After the scalp of the Alaska
Com m err cial Company.

COm N efC18l company
WASHINGTON, January 13.-In the SEN
ate today the resolution heretofore
offered by Plumb, respecting the lease
of the islands of st. Paul and st. George
to the Alaska Commercial Company,
was AIKEN up, and Plumb proceeded to
address the Senate. He said the time
for proposals for new lease was too
short, and the proposition limiting to
$4,000 the number of seals to be taken
the first ye ar, if not extraordinary,
opened up a wide field of conjecture.
HIS spoke of the preference shown the
Alaska Company, and said certain
Louis Goldstone had made higher bid,
and also offered to pay 621a cents skin
more than the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, and 55 cents gallon for
all seal oil extracted. The Alaska Com
mercial Company assumed that the offer
from itself got the lease and agreed to pay
$4,000 per annum during the entire
term of the contract; to pay 50 621a per
skin for all skins it would take, and to
pay fifty-five cents a gallon for all oil.
The first year the Department, instead
of exacting the payment of the $65 900,
accepted $25, 900 and remitted the re-
mainder of the payment. He said that
more than two.thirds, or perhaps three
fourths. of all the seals taken in the
world are taken from the Alaskan islands
and vicinity. These seal skins were sold
at public auction in London, in the raw
state, at an average of about $40 apiece
One hundred thousand skins at $l9 q
piece amounted to $1,900,000. He went
back in his statement to mention the
fact that in the operation of the lease the
Treasury Department renitted all pay
ments on account of oil, so that not q
dollar had been paid during those years
on that account. He said Goldstone
calculated in making his bid that each
seal would produce Two gallons of oil 4,
and on that calculation 100000 seals q
year would, at IS cents q gallon for oil
have produced $4,000 a year, or $2,.
100000 for the twenty years of the lease.
But the Treasury Department never
profited by that clause in the lease.
He did not believe such lease should
be. made to any one for any term
whatever. He believed the Government
should get it's fair share of the enormous
revenue derived from the lucrative trade
in fur seals. He had no doubt the profits
of the company had on an average far
exceeded 81 900, 900 year since it had
the lease. He would not be surprised il
its profits averaged 100000 a year.
Congress should do something adequate
to the situation, and not allow the mat
ter to 60 on in such a slipshod way.
Messrs. Dawes, Mcpherson and
Stewart defended the Alaska company
and the resolution was referred to the
Committee on Finance. The action o.
the House upon the death of Repre-
sentative Kelley was announced, where
upon the Senate adjourned.

ALOHA AUSTRALIA.

The steamer Australia sailed at
noon to-day. The usual crowd
thronged the wharf and besicgcd the
vessel. Berger's band sent forth the
sweet strains which have ever lent a
sentimental aspect to the steamer
embarkations. To the casual, un-
interested visitor the scene was but
one of many similar episodes incident
to commerce. Many a passenger
walked up the gangplank with
consciousness that this foreign "trip,
is n slight variation of business
routine. To such this voyage is
fraught with no special significance.
But to many this embarkation is
turning point, an epoch. Many
life may really commence to-day
and the voyage across the sea may
bring the traveller nearer to objects
unattainable here. The great ship
loses its grasp on the shore and is
soon a1oat. The pallid cheek which
attracted so many sympathetic
glances may elsewhere acquire
roseate hue. And the bounding
pulse which denoted such excess of
vitality here, may in another cline
slow its beat at the behest of sick
ness. Hands waving kerchicfs on
wharf and vessel may never again
know mutual clasp. All sail for
San Francisco and yet to some its
beautiful land-locked harbor is
haven of joy while to others it is
q refuge of despair. Hearts are
wrung with grief and faces are
wreathed with smiles on the same
wharf and vessel. And the band
played on, performing its prelude to
joyful dramas and swelling with its
forebodings of sad tragedies. Shore
and ship divide, the music ceases,
the curtain rings down, and the
audience disperses.

THE MIKADO.

A rehearsal of the Mikado took
place last night at the Arion Hall.
The solo cast embraces nine and the
entire number of singers on the
stage will be about fifty. The re-
hearsal showed the effect of Judi
cious direction on good voices.
Despite the depletion of number
from unavoidable absence the ladies
sang their choruses with marked
vigOr.
The choruses of males and the
joint choruses of the sexes were
very effective and the blending of
voices admirable. The solo parts
have been assigned to good voices.
The catching melodies are interpret
ed with chic and spirit. Without
doubt proper dramatic rendition will
supplement the melodious vocaliza-
ton. The performance may be ex-
pccted in about three weeks.
