MORMON MISSIONARIES.
Extensive Prosely ting in Great Britain
and Scandinavia,


LONDON, Sept. 9.-Public opinion in
Great Britain at present is turning with
indignation upon the Mormon crusade
being made in many country districts.
Revelations just made show that there
are 1000 Mormon missionaries at pres
ent working in Great Britain and in
Scandinavia. Attention has been called
by the press to the operations
of two young Mormon missionaries
who have been operating in village
of Lancashire, and some strange dis
closures as to the proselyting methods
adopted are made. The result has
been another upheaval OF public indig-
nation, and probably another and more
determined attempt will be made to
put stop to this transatlantic traffic
in women. The revelations just made
have brought about thorough public
ventilation and exposure Of the methods
of the Latter Day Saints.

FIRE BUGS.
They Seem to Want to Destroy the
Figueroa Hotel.

F1gueroa Hotel.
There are fire bugs in town, and the
object of their efforts has of late been
the Figueroa hotel, on Figueroa street.
Mr.. Lemmert, the proprietor, on Tues
day had to appeal to the police for pro-
lection, and an officer was detailed to
watch the premises. On Monday
evening Mr.. Lemmert found that the
place had been fred in the basement !;
this in addition to the three or four at
tempts that had been made of late to
destroy the building caused the propri-
etor to ask the aid of the police. About
a month ago the barn of the hotel was
fired and partly destroyed.
1t is evident that the same miscreants
on Tuesday night set fire to the grocery
store on the corners of Washington and
Main streets, and later while the engine
was out, set fire to the engine house.
