UTAH'S PLEA.
Arguments in Favor Of Statehood CHARGES
Against the Commission.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Senate Com
mittee on Territories this morning gave
another hearing to the delegation from
Utah in favor Of the Senate bill to give
Utah the right OF self-government G. G.
Richards, alawyer Of Ogden, said under
the present system the Utah Commission
was not responsible to the people In any
way. Richards accused the commission OF
appointing persons OF doubtful respecta-
bility as registers and judges Of elections,
which resulted in the preparation of the
boldest frauds. Continuing, Richards
said: "The condition Of affairs is such as
might have been expected from the hands
of strangers. The commission, from the
time it first came to Utah, until now, never
lost an opportunity to deprive the people Of
their sacred rights, and when protest was
made, they rushed before tue people of the
country with some hideOus nightmare to
arouse public prejudice against the people
of the Territory"
At this point Senator Davis said DO
you mean by that that Senator Ramsey and
Judge Adcock have been engaged in that
sort Of work ?"
I'VE do, most decidedly" said Richards.
Speaking upon the judicial system, be
said the people looked upon the courts as
enemies rather than as friendly arbitrators.
He denied that pOlygamy existed in the
Territory and thought the people were as
law-abiding as any in the country. They
were entitled to local sef-gOYernment like
other States and Territories, and all they
asked was a trial. II they were found
incompetent to govern themselves, then
Congress could again take the matter in

members as to whether, after all the abuses
are unveiled, Congress will have power 10
abate the sweating" system, as many hold
that its regulation are only within the
power of tie Legislatures of the respective
States and entirely without the jurisdiction
of the National Congress. Be that as il
may, there is no doubt the Committee on
Manufactures will exercise TO its fullest eX-
tent the authority of the investigation to-
day conferred upon it by the House 10 the
end that whatever relief may be found
necessary will come from the legislative
pow ers having jurisdiction over the subject.
Several executive communications were
laid before the House this morning and ap-
prOpriatciy referred.
The Speaker announced the appointment
OF the following committee to investigate
the Pension Office: Wheelock of Michigan.
Little of New Ork, DUNCAN of Ohio, Lind
OF Minnesota and BrOSius Of Pennsylvania.
The resolution was taken up directing the
Committee on Manufactures to investigate
the sO-csIled sweating system Of tenement
house labor. The committee was given au-
thority to send the subcommittee to vari-
GUS cities IN carrying on the inquiry. 1t
was directed 10 inquire how much increase
the Mckinley act had caused in the wages
of wOrkmen employed in industries pro-
tected by that act. The resolution was
adOuted.
The House then resumed the considera-
tion Of the bill to promote the safety of ma
tonal banks.
Lockwood Of New York objected to the
bill, because he believed 1t was detrimental
to the banking interests aud the general in
tereSts Of the country to be constantly
changing and modifying the laws relating
TO The national banks. He moved to refer
the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary
LOst-36 to lG6.
Then Lockwood moved an adjournment,
which was lost without division. The
bill was then passed. Lockwood being un-
able to muster enough force to order the
ayes and noes.
Peel of Arkansas, from the Committee ON
Indian Affairs, reported the Indian appro-
priation bill. and il was referred TO the
committee of the whole.
On motion of Outhwaite Of Ohio a bill
was passed authorizing the Board of
Managers Of the National Soldiers Homes
TO appoint their officers from soldiers who
served in the late war without regard to
rank.
On motion of Caminettl joint resolution
was passed requesting the Secretary of
War to report what amount of money can
be profitably expended in carrying out the
recommendation of a commission to investi-
gate the mining debris question In Cali
fOrnia.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the House calendar, the first
bill being that amending the internal
revenue law by abolshing the minimum
sentence for q violation thereof. The bill
was passed without division, and the

ciated Press as follows: "The brilliant red
rose aurora visible tonight was not alto
gether unexpected. In general way au-
roras have been expected about this time.
To-nights display naturally follows the
appearance of the great sun spot which has
been visible for the past week. Other auroral
displays may be expected in the near future"
Other dispatches TO the Associated Press

at New York, Hartford, Conn, and other
New England points; Louisville, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Detroit,
Indianapolis. and at Illinois and Iowa
points, but not at st. Louis, Kansas City or
Memphis.
