UTAH AS A STATE.
The Fight Is Begun, and II VIII Be
a Ritter One

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE House to-
day began the discussion of the admission
Uf Utah to Statehood. The principal point
at issue was whether the enabling act
should contain prOvisO imposing
pains and penalties for polyga-
nous marriages, the contention on
one hand being that the State should cope
in on an equal footing with other
States. unhandicapped by such provisions,
and on the other that as p0lygamy
had been stamped ont By federal
statutes, and as the admission of the ter
ritory would repeal that statute, Congress
should make it practically part of the
enabling act.
Morse Of Massachusetts. opposing the
bill, made vicious assault on Utah and
Mormonism, recalling all the outrages of
plural marriages, the Mountain Meadow
massacre. blood atonement and the revela-
tions of the Endowment House.
Rawlins, the Utah delegate, replied to
Morse and worsted him very badly. He
opposed the amendment proposed relative
to polygamy as too complex, but expressed
a willingness TO accept a simple amend
ment prohibiting polygamous marriages
forever.
Harter opposed the bill on the ground
that it gave sparsely settled Western ter
ritory too much influence in the Senate.
The general impression seemed 10 be that
his real object was 10 prevent the election
of two more free currency Democrats to
the Senate.
The debate will conclude tomorrow,
and as most OF the Iaepu blicans have with.
drawn their opposition ii is expected the
bill will pass by an overwhelming ma
jorty. In the course Of his further re-
marks Harter referred to the conditions
existing in Kansas. where Governor
Llewellyn had called a convention of
tramps.
"The population of Kansas will be
pretty large" interjected Reed, "when the
new tariff bill goes into effect If it is to be
the home of all the tramps in the country"
Simpson of Kansas. Smith of Arizona
and Pence of Colorado interrupted Harter
to reply to reflections on the West, and at
the conclusion of Harter's speech the
House adjourned.
