NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A Washington

there from Philadelphia last. evening.
In the party were ex-senator William
A. Wallace, Congressman Mutchler, E.
B. Scott, j. NJ. Guffey, State Chairman

ers. Each represented Il distinct and
personal following and extensive imam

The Pennsylvanians were joined by
party leaders from New York, Ohio,
Indiana and other Western and
Southern States. All united in long
and private conference at Willard 8
hotel. Before they broke up they were
pledged to aid in making Hill the
party's candidate.
1t was learned that J. NJ. Kerr would
yield to appeals and accept q re-elec-
ton as chairman of the State commit

as Pennsylvania member of the Ma

NOTHING NEW.
Taking of Testimony Cotinued in
the CHur d'AIene Case.
Witness from Portland Not Allowed Il
Testify-On the Stand in His
Own Defense

CoeUR d ALENE, Ida, Sept. 23.-[Special
telegram to The HERALD. The defense
continued the introduction OF their testi-
mony this morning by calling Richard A.
Cunningham, ex-sherif of Shoshone
county, to prove that Defendants ]. w.
Wallace ano Joseph Trainor went with
him from Wardner Junction to Calaldo on
the train which carried the non union men
out, ct his request and as special deputy
sheriffs; that he was powerless TO prevent
the driving out of the scabs, but did all he
could to save life and property.
MIR. Reddy then offered documentary
evidence to show that the Miners union
was not q corporation, and presented
several pleas in abatement. which the
court promptly ruled inadmissable. De-
fendant w. H. Frazer was put on the
stand in his own defense and testified that
he acted as a newspaper correspondent
during the labor troubles and showed
where he was and what he did on the
18th of July, as well as the 18th and 18th.
He was subjected to a searching cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. Hepburn as to his Off
cisl acts as justice of the peace OF MILAN
precinct and as to the appointment of ru-
merous constables in May last, when the
first non-union men were brought under
Warren's armed guards.
Captain John O'Brien of Portland was
the next witness, and was introduced for
the purpose of impeaching Van b. Delash-
mutt. This brought on lively legal fight
between Messrs. Hey burn, Wood and
Reddy. and at the suggestion of the court
the witness was withdrawn to enable the
Judge to examine authorities before de-
Gliding on the point raised.
In the afternoon the court decided that
the testimony was insdmisslble on the
grounds that the impeaching of Delsshmutt
was on matter collateral to the issue; SO
Captain O'Brieu returned to Portland,
having his journey for nothing.
Another witness which the defense had
secured to use in impeaching Delashmutt
was excluded on the same grounds.

UTAH COMMISSION.
The Annual Report of the Same
Received.
A CHANGE is VERY APPARENT.
In Regard TO Political Matse-s-qhe Report
Claims That Polygamy Stlll Exists
Advancing in Progress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 23.-Secretary
--soble has received the annual report of the
Utah commission for the year ending Sept.
last. during which time three sessions
were held, one ct Chicago aud two at Salt
Lake city.
Speaking of political matters, the COM
mission says q change is apparent in the
political situation In Utah, which if prop
erly fostered and honestly managed will be
productive Of good results.
Considerable space in the report is de-
voted TO the discussion Of polygamy. The
commission insists that polygamy still ex-
ists and that there are many cases con-
stantly coming to public knowledge OF as
sociation between polygamists and plural
wives whom they have protested to have
put away, is fact that can hardly be con-
troverted. The commission reports fifteen
male persons who are believed to have en-
tsred into polygamous marriages during the
last year, and OF more than 800 persons who
are known, or believed to be, now living in
paIygamous relations. 1t is not true, the
report says, that the commission has ever

and contains the most direct and positive
statements of its desires and promises for
the future which have yet come from that
source. Without asserting to all the asser-
lions Of the appeal, the commission would
be glad il the relief prayed for could be
granted.
That Utah is advancing in progress the
commission freely admits.

Assistant Secretary Spauldng Rules on a

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA short time
ago Collector Istom OF Port Townsend,
Wash, wrote the treasury departments for
instructions in the case of one Ching Yon
q Chinese who claimed to be British sub
iect and applied for admission 10 the
United States as such, ex hibiting a GER
tificate of naturalization issued at Van
couver. The collector expressed the
man was allowed to enter the authorities
on the other side of the line could begin at
once TO make British citizens OF the Chinese
to evade our restriction law.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding in reply
informs collectors that naturalization of
a Chinese person by an adjacent country
would not qualify such person to enter the
United States and instructs him to decline
to consider the papers mentioned as ia any
manner changing the status of such person
as far as admission into the United States
is concerned.
An official of the treasury department
said this afternoon it was g debatable
question il this action of the department
in refusing 10 recognize a British naturall-
cation Of Chinese persons is not in conflict
with the treaty with Great Britain,
whereby its subjects are allowed to enter
