VARY.
in the time of our Lord at all" Rev.
Canon FL. B. Tristram, f. r. S., whose
reputation stands high as an authority
regarding the geographical antiquities
of Palestine, will not positively assert
that this tomb must be the holy sepul
cher, but thinks that it's site answers
the required conditions as no other site
does; and there is no proof in support
of Maj. Conder's opinion that this tomb
is of the ninth century after Christ. A
committee, of which Henry A. Campbell
and John Murray are leading promoters,
has appealed to the English public for
subscriptions to the amount of e6, 600 to
buy the inclosed piece of land-about
four acres-now for sale at the
price of $4,000, to lay it out as garden,
to put the tomb in order and to provide
for it's proper care and keeping. The
archbishop of Canterbury. several
bishops and many influential clergy
men have expressed their cordial ap-
proval. The tomb is distant only $50
feet from the summit of the knoll OF
little hill called Ell Heydhimiyeh, 'Jere-
miahs Grotto,' the shape of which hill
lock has striking resemblance to the
form of the skull; the ''Golgotha, " OF
Calvary" which Canon Tristram, in
1858, suggested as the probable site Of
the crucifxion. arguing chiefly from its
position as just outside the gate OF
Samaria, the only direct exit from the
Roman ernor's court, the castle OF
Antoni The only tomb yet found in
the vicinity which can be deemed as old
as the date of the crucifxion is situated
rather farther west, and has now be.
come the property OF Dominican friars
But it is contended that this tomb can
not be said to be Sin the place where
Jesus was crucifed," or sufficiently
close to it to answer the statement in
the New Testament narrative; but this
may be affirmed of the Garden Tomb
which it is proposed to purchase.

drew up the plan of campaign which is
now being put into execution.
According to private letters Behan-
Ein continues to receive supplies OF
arms and ammunition from Germans
established on the coast. The French
warships, in carrying out the blockade
of Dahomey, prevent the Germans from
landing stores at Wydah, as they were
formerly able to do. These transac.
tons are now, however, effected
through the Germany colony at Togo,
stores disembarked at Petit Popo being
conveyed to Dahomey along the Franco
German frontier to Tado, whence they
easily reach Abomey. 1t was thought
in April last Behanzin had very little
war material at his disposal, and most
of his rifles were known to be useless.
Since then the king has increased his
ornaments by a considerable number OF
Winchester and Snider rifles. These
arms and other stores have been sup
piled by the Germans, contrary to the
stipulations of the Brussels confer
ence, and it is probable that the
French government will take prompt
action in the matter. Col. Dodds, by
the way, may be favored by the inter-
nal discussions which are reported to
have broken out among the Dahom.
evans. The dusky warriors have di-
vided themselves into two camps, the
mobiles and the fetish men. The no.
bles, curiously enough, are radicals
and want to get rid of the king. One
of them is Behanzin's own brother,
who is not now in Abomey, but is sup
posed to be in France. The fetish men
are the more respected of the two bod
les, and have great influence with the
king and the people. They are in favor
of making peace with France, but time
only will show whether they can carry
out their plans and prevent bloodshed.

The HOLY sEPuLcHER.
Where the Redeemer's Body Is Supposed
to Have Been Laid Away.

Some discussion has arisen among
learned Palestine topographers and
Biblical psychologists with regard to
the ancient tomb outside the Damascus
gate of Jerusalem, believed by the late
Gen. Gordon to be the actual sepulcher
of Christ. which it is now proposed to
purchase and to pres erve as an object OF
Christian veneration. There are weighty
opinions on both sides of the contro-
versy. Maj. G. r. Gender, R. E., whose
labors and records of the English Pal

him high authority, considers chat
there is not only no reason to suppose
that this tomb is the real site OF the
tomb of Christ, but that there is every
reason to suppose that it did not exist

Report of Territorial stati,tician.
SALT LAKE Cry, Utah,
January eth, 1892,

SALT LAKE Cry, Utah,
January 9Th, 1909.
To His EXcellency Arthur l.. Thomas
Governor Of Utah Territory:
Sir-The Territorial Legislature on
March 18th, 1890, passed. an act creating
n Bureau OF Statistics anu made the
Territorial librarian, the Territorial
statisticlan. ] have the honor of pre-.
senting herewith u report OF the work
done In pursuance Of said act aud in
connection Herewith 10 make certain
recommendations.
Section two t2) OF the law made Il
Incumbent ON this statistician to pre-
pare and furnish 10 the county clerks
Of the several counties for delivery to
the county assessors, on or before the
first day OF January Of each year, suil.
able blank forms for the collection Of
statistics. The Legislature failed TO
make any appropriation for these
blanks, nut believing that the incoming
Legislature would pay for the work
| solicited bids for the necessary
blanks and In December 1890, the
tribune Job Printing company Of Salt
Lake City secured the work for 1891
and In December, 1891, the irrigation
Age Printing House OF said city, secur.
ed the work for 1892. The bills for this
work viii be- presented to the Leglsla.
ture and trust will be paid.
Owing to the fact that the law was
u novel one In this Territory, the coun.
ty assessor met with some difficulty in
securing the desired data. Ia q few o {
the counties the Inhabitants thought
the information being sought for stalls
teal purposes would have the effect VI
increasing their taxation and hence
gave their data reluctantly. 10 avoid
this objection aud TO secure greater
accuracy, II might be advisable ~
make the Bureau Of Statistics totally
independent nj the assessors and to per.
init the statistician to name his own
deputies In the various counties
who would be personally responsible 10
him. As the law now stands the as
SCISSORS are responsible to no one In par.
ticular for inaccurate or negligent
work, aud In the larger counties the
work OF assessment Ia sufficiently bur.
densnme without imposing upon the
assessor the duty Of collecting the sta.
tistiCs.
Then, again, ~ the law now stands.
the assessors viii do only such work a.
the law actually imposes; while, n the
statlstloian appointed bis own dtpu-
ties, they would be compelled TO collect
amy special data he might require, and
which, In tho easel Of new mineral,
natural gas, oTOil discoveries, might uc
OF inesIimable value to the rsrrltory.
