years of age at the time, and his memory
being still good he can spin-and does
when opportunity offers-the most inter
esting yarns concerning the pioneer trip
of the pioneer steamer. Mr.. Johnston has
had a rather checkered career, but is still
in full possession of his faculties and in
the enjoyment of robust health. He has
land claim on Harrison river, which he
took up few years ago. and he spends his
winters there. making the necessary i'm
provements to entitle him TO the crown
grant.
It having been decided to send the old
Beaver to the Worlds fair at Chicago. it
would be an enterprising move on the part
of the promoters of the scheme to secure
the services of Mr.. Johnston and take him
to Chicago, where, as the last surviving
member of the ships company, he could
explain to thousands of visitors the his
tory of the wonderful old craft, and tell
the story of her first voyage. His presence
would also add greatly to the interest sur
rounding the old vessel.

UTAH STATEHOOD QUESTION.
Proposed Removal OF disabilities by
AntI- Polygamy Amendment.


WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 1.-The question
OF Utah's statehood is likely to become
one OF the political issues OF the present
congress. The bill is now pending in the
House for the admission of that territory
as state. and today Representative Bush
nell. of Wisconsin, introduced resolution
on the subject. The resolution declares
that Utah has larger population than
the three adjoining states of Wyoming,
Idaho and Nevada combined; that the
president in his last annual message re-
commended that Utah be kept out of
statehood until there is satisfactory evil
dence that effective laws against polyg-
amy be made and maintained, because
as territory congress could
reach and punish polygamy, while
as state it could not do so, that If
the United States constitution were
amended so as TO prohibit polygamy. then
there would be no excuse for not admit
ting Utah as state; therefore there was
submitted 10 the several states the follow
ing. to be known as article XVI. of the
amendments thereto: "Polygamy shall
never exist within the United States or
any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Congress shall have the power TO make all
needful laws for the enforcement of the
article and the punishment of It's viola
ton"

DEMONS FOR pRILLMAsrEKs.
How Emperor williams Recruits Are
DIseiplined-It Promotes Socialism.


BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The Socialist journal
Vorseorts publishes a copy of an order
issued TO the Twelfth army corps by
Prince George of Saxony, calling upon
the officers to put stop to the inhuman
treatment of men by noncommissloned
officers. the prince adding: Socialism, that
public danger to Germany, will Only be
strengthened by such treatment" The
order instances nine specific cases OF
cruelty. In some of the drills this men
were compelled to present arms 500
times. Another case was that where
a soldier was compelled to raise
can of burning coffee until he became
SO exhausted that he allowed
the cans contents to run over his head
and shoulders. In another case a sergeant
named Pelug habitually kicked the men.
struck them with a sword, wantonly
forced them to perform hard tasks
and tortured them until they
screamed with agony. Cases are
instanced where men were paraded
and drilled at midnight in the depth of
winter, wearing only their shirts, until
they tainted. In addition many cases of
Matchmaking are mentioned. The guilty
sergeants have been sentenced to impris-
onment from two to five years each. The
revelation of these cruelties has caused
much Indignation among the public.
The Vorpdrts mentions some cases
where the men were kept at the knee drill
until they had performed the movement
nearly 1000 times. or until they tainted.
In one instance, when a recruit who be-
came bathed in sweat in con-
sequence of the exertion was
unable to continue, the sergeant
poured a jug of cold water over him, and
then thrashed him until the whip broke.
The recruits legs were covered with welts,
and as result of the treatment he had to
be placed in the hospital. where he lay in
a high fever. Sergeant Loehl fractured
a mans collar bone beating him with
ride. He afterward tried to commit sui
eide, fearing he would be found out.
In addition to other cruelties, Sergeant
Pelug compelled the men to chew dirty
socks and forced recruits who failed to
stretch their knees properly at drill to lie
across two chairs in certain position. He
would then sit upon their unsupported
knees until they screamed from pain,
when he would have them gagged.
