UTAH,s STATEHOOD
Likely to Become One of the Issues In
the Present Congress.

Likely to Become One of the Issues In
the Present Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The question of
Utah's statehood is likely to become
one of the political issues of the present
congress. A bill is now pending in the
house for the admission of that territory
as state, and today representative
Bushnell of Wisconsin introduced a
resolution on the subject. The resolu-
ton declares that Utah had larger
population than the three adjoining
states of Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada
combined that the president in his last
annual message recommended that it be
kept out of statehood until there is
satisfactory evidence that effective laws
against polygamy will he made and
maintained, because as territory con-
gress could reach and punish polygamy,
while as state it could not do SO; that
if the United States constitution was
amended 80 as to prohibit polygamy,
then there would be no excuse for not
admitting Utah as state; therefore
that there be submitted to the several
states, the following to be known as
article sixteen of the amendments
thereto: Polygamy shall never exist
within the United States or any place
subject to theif Jurisdiction. Congress
shall have power to make all needful
laws for the enforcement of this article,
and punishment for it's violation.

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.
AMERICA OFFICIALLY APPRIsEI
OF IT'S HORRORS.
Cold as Well as Hunger Causing Terrible
Suffering Fourteen Million People
Without Food : Pestilencs Decimat-
ing the Population.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The horrors of
the Russian famine were today brought
to the attention of the department of
state in report from Minister Smith at
St. Petersburg. He says in part: "Cold,
as well as hunger, causes terrible suffer
ing. In some neighborhoods large num-
bers of people huddle together in the
houses most conducive to warmth.
Barns are torn down and the boards used
for frewood. Even thatched roofs are
torn off and straw made to feed dying
cattle. Clothing is given away fol
bread. Horses and cattle are sacrificed
at one-fifth their value. Fodder is
scarce as human food, and in some cases
horse flesh is used for sustenance. Dur
ing the winter there is no work, and
fathers have left their wives and chill
dren to fight the battle of want alone,
because they could do nothing, and
their absence left fewer mouths to
feed at home. The bread which
many are using is composed of wild ar
rack, potatoes, chaff and leaves, and
these terrible conditions inevitably pro-
duce disease. Within radius of one
mile there are 120 cases of typhus fever.
Pestilence is decimating the people.
The official estimate of those without
food or means Of support who require
aid is given as 14,000,000 persons, and
this is probably below the true number
The loss to Russia by the famine is esti.
mated to be $500,000, 900. Up to the
present time there have been few con-
trihutiOnH from abroad hut the GOVERN
ment and people OF Russia are deeply
sensible OF the spontaneous offers made
in various parts of the United States

FINED AND IMPRISONED.
TWO OF SENATOR QUAY'S LIBEL
LERS SENTENCED.
A Heavy Penalty Imposed Upon the
Editor and Proprietor of the Beaver
Star-A Case in Which the Punish
ment Is Greater Than the Crime.

PTTTsBURG, Feb. Ia Beaver special
says the defendants in the Quay libel
suit were sentenced today to six months
imprisonment in Jail, fine of 5000 and
costs of prosecution.
The defendants were Proprietor Mel
lon and Editor Porter of the Beaver
Star. Judge Wyckham, in passing SEN
tence, made reference to the facts in the
case, and severely scored the defend
ants. Among other things, he said I:
"Without any more apparent cause
than would exist in the case of any one
OF the thousands who honestly received
checks from Bardsley during his official
career, you boldly and sensationally
charged the prosecutor with being an
accomplice of the defaulter and a
sharer in his plunder. Before pub
lication you had in your possession
the prosecutors denial, if any was
needed. In his sworn information
he again averred the falsity of the pub
lished charges. Had your arrest been
followed by retraction, or'even by 81
lence, it would have been possible to in
fer that no actual malice instigated the
original publication. You seemed de-
termined, however, to leave no possible
room for such inference. From one of
these libelous editorials, published only
week before the trial began. it would
seem you were acting on the amazing
theory that If newspaper accuses man
OF crime he is conclusively presumed to
be guilty until he proves his innocence
a = e incl hot own, "a nrp
his own denials are entitled to no
weight. At the trial, even after the
prosecutor proved his innocence, you
conceded nothing fully, although una
BILE to offer a scintilla OF evidence to
establi.h the truth of the charges, and
not more than scintilla to disprove
malice. The case was so clear as to
make it absurd to suppose any twelve
from the jury panel could have
elapsed since your conviction. Yet not
one word OF explanation, retraction OF
apology has appeared in your newspa-
per. Under these circumstances, to
make the sentence unduly light would
be to turn the proceedings into mockery
and to judicially condemn them. In
conclusion may auu tudJ IL you udu
libeled the humblest man in Beaver
county to the same extent that you
have traduced the prosecutor, the same
sentence that is here imposed would be
inflicted"
After sentence was passed Mellon and
Porter were taken to the county jail to
serve their term. 1t is said after short
incarceration application will be made
to the board Of pardons for their release.
1t is also rumored that the fines will be
paid by the Democratic state committee.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent reports ex-
treme qualification both in official and
unofficial circles at Secretary Blaine's
message announcing that the reply to
the ultimatum is satisfactory. Among
the officials there has been a revulsion
of feeling in favor of the United States.

There is no likelihood of the Chilean
government voting money for the

financial condition of the country, and
partly because Commissioner Barlow is
accused of being the author OF sensa-

DRAGGED HER ANCHOR.
British Ship on Wild Cruise in San
francisco Bay.

Francisco Bay.
SAN Francisco, Feb. Last night the
British ship Orissa, lying in the stream,
dragged her anchor and started on a
trip down the bay. A heavy sea was
running and stiff breeze was blowing,
and the crew was unable to control the
ship. The Orissa brought up with a
crash against the British iron ship
Gowanburn. The Orissa listed and the
rigging of both vessels became tangled.
The Orissa lost her mizzenmast, which
snapped off close to the deck, and her
malntopmast WAS also carried away.
The headgear of the Gowanburn was
badly damaged. The tug Wizard sep
arated the two ships after an hour. The
damage to the Orissa will probably
amount to $4,000; that to the Gowan-
burn will not be ascertained till she has
been docked. Several plates are sprung
and she may be injured below the water
line. 1t is believed the repairs to both
ships will cost in the neighborhood of
Sl5 600.

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 1.-[Special. !

correspondent telegraphs that Senator
Stanford OF California recently received
communication from the czar, stating
that he would be glad to exchange high
bred Orloff stations for an equal num-

The proposition came from the czar's
master of horse through the Russian
consul-general at New York. Senator
Stanford says he will be glad to make
the exchange. He further said he was
greatly struck with the Orloff horses
when in Russia two years ago. He does
not think they compare with American
horses in point of speed.
