THOMAS REPORT.
1t Is Filed with the Secretary Of
the Interior.
HIS VIEWS ON STATEHOOD.
The Chief Signal officer Also Submits His
Annual Report-fha Value of Mill
tary Telegraph Lines.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.-Arthur L.
Thomas, governor of Utah, in his annual
report to the secretary of the interior says
polygamy ia the territory is on the decline
Says he does not believe any polygamous
marriages have taken place during the
year with the consent or permission of the
Mormon leaders. and it is his conviction
that there is sincere attention on the part
of the Mormon people not to approve or
sanction polygamous marriages in the
future.
He says it is to be regretted that the sin
certify of the whole people seeking to &C.
complisn great reform should be placed
under suspicion by the acts of few, but
such is the case aud Is sure to De for some
time. and it may be years before the prac-
itce of unlawful cohsbltion will entirely
cease. In regard to the admission Of
Utah as state, Governor Thomas says:
ut is my opinion, having due consdera-
ton for the wishes and feelings of all be-
tween the two great elements of popula-
ton, Mormon and non-Mormon, that the
sympathy of feeling and harmony OF pur-
pose does not exist which Is so essential to
the prosperity and happiness of the people
under statehood, yet it would be an act un-
worthy the justice of great government
to turn a deaf ear to the appeal OF men who
in Utah always upheld its authority and
obeyed the laws"

THE AMMEN RAM.
This Formidable Vessel Was to Have Been
Launched Today.

This Formidable Vessel Was to Have Been
Launched To-day.
BATH. Me-. Oct. 25.-Tomorrow was the
day originally set for the launching of the
Ammen ram, but the announcement is
made today that the contracts for material
are still so far behindhand that the launch
cannot possibly take place before Decem-
Der. Naval officers are today making an
informal inspection of the work and will
probably provide for some few changes.
She is intended for harbor defense, and as
she will be the most formidable instrument
of destruction on the seas, her Importance
can readily be seen. When in fighting
trim and at full speed, this ram will be a
veritable terror to an invading feet.
Nothing more destructive can be built
than her sharp aid numerous looking
prov. 1t Is made OF steel, In single cast
ing, and weighs fourteen Ton. 1t was cast
at the Norristown steel works, Norristown,
Pa, aud is the heaviest single casting ever
put into q vessels stem. 1t is estimated
that this Prov will pierce the heaviest
armor used in modern ships with the ram
at three-quarters speed. 1t will strike be-
low the water line of the vessel attacked,
and the government experts are sanguine
that one blow will send the biggest war
ship that floats to the bottom.
With room enough in which to gain
Roadway, and to manpuvre it is claimed
that this ram could cripple an entire feet
of invading ironclads. Resistance could
best be offered her by torpedoes, but, as
the ram will be provided with machine
guns to pick off torpedo boats, she will be
able to defend herself from attack in that
direction. Her sides are protected with
powerful armor. and hostile ship would
find hard target to nit squarely, owing to
her peculiar shape.

history.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct. 25.-The eyes of the
nation will be on the Sedalia race track this
week, where Nancy Hanks and Martha
Wilkes are to try conclusions against tlme,
which has now been repeatedly beaten.
The question agitating the world is the
prospect of striking the two minute gait
this week. The Missouri State Fair asso-
citation has made public the programme for
the fall trotting meeting, which began TO-
day and ends Oct 49, 1t comprises sixteen
events, including the races against records
by Nancy Hanks and Martha Wilkes, for
purses aggregating $4,000. Today Doble

So. 0OO
Three times now Within very few
months Nancy Hanks has made a new
record. On Aug IL she trotted in
2:07L, outdoing Sunol by a second
and Maud by second and q
half. On Aug. 81, when she had the ad-
vantage of kite-shaped track. she lowered
the record by two whole seconds. Then
another reduction of one and quarter
seconds stood to her credit at Terre Haute.
1t should be noted, too, that Nancy did the
third quarter il that last race in 2915 sec
onds, which is at the rate of mile IN :5S.
The history of Nancy Hanks Is worth
careful recital in view Of the great things
expected of her at this meeting. She is a
dark bay, small sized, not to exceed ff
teen hands high, and was born and bred in
Kentucky. She made her fret appearance
at Harrodsburg, July 81, 1889, and lost one
heat of race the only defeat scored in. her
eyentful life. She won seven races tnat
year and closed with record of 2 :2415.
In 1890 she won six races, scoring 2:l411
at Lexington, Aug. %. In 1891 she met
Allerton at Independence Ia., and lowered
the record to 2: ~ in that race. At Cam
bridge City, Ind. she made the quarters
that year in 1924, 1879, :32 and 1881: the
mile in 2.C91s. This years record

THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER
In His Annual Report He Dwells on Military
Telegraph Lines.

In His Annual Report He Dwells on Military
Telegraph Lines.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-General A. w.
Greeley, chief signal officer, in his annual
report dwells at length upon the value of
900 miles of military telegraph lines which
were successfully maintained during the
year by the signal corps. As an instance
he cites the use of the line to Fort McKin-
ney during the cattle war in Wyoming, and
OF the line between Forts Brown and Ring
gold, Tex, during the CARA troubles.
With an eye to the demands of modern
WI r ARE. special attention mas been given
to tn equipment of field telegraph trains
Tor armies operating away from permanent
telegraph lines. The field reel, w here with
moving line can keep within communica-
tion with the brigade or division COM
mander has beea satisfactory developed
balloon section is being organized with
each field telegraph train to operate cap
tive balloons to collect military informa-
ton, and transmit it to the ground by tele-
phone cable. The heliograph has been
perfected SO that messages may be sent a
distance ranging from sixty 10 one hun
dred miles.
The obvious advantages arising from
concerted action in harbor defense led Cen
ergl Greedy to submit special estimate of
-, 600 to initiate system of military
cables and connecting lines in Boston, New
York aud San Francisco. Simple systems
of whistle signals have been devised for
the transmission of orders to troops in ex-
tended or open formation, and are now
under consideration.
In conclusion, General Greely speaks en-
couragingly of the growing interest in the
signal work manifested by the militia OF
the United States, and suggests that the
militia act be amended so as to permit sig
nal stores to be issued to state GUARDS upon
acquisitions.

Important Railroad Litigation.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct 25.-The trial OF
an important railroad suit will be begun
tomorrow in the supreme court in this city.
1t involves something over s2.000,000 worth
of real estate now occupied by railroads
and land on both sides of the river on
which rests the international bridge, over
which the Grand Trunk railway passes
into Canada. Ii the suit is won by the
plaintiffs it will entirely sever Canada's
direct railroad connection with the United
States. IL will also cost the city OF Buffalo
many thousands of dollars.
The suit is brought by Peter A. Porter
individually, as an executor of the estate
of Josephine E. Porter. The complaint
alleges that in 1864 the railroads occupied
land which did not belong to them and re-
fused to vacate. An injunction is de-
manded restraining the railroads from
operating on the land until the suit is set
