The United States Supreme Court yester-
day directed the courts Of Utah to carry
out the provisions Of an act Of Congress
recently passed intended to settle the dis
pute between the United States and the
Mormon Church over the church property
escheated by the Edmunds act, amounting
to over 100000. The act provides that the
personal property and money in the hands
Of the receiver arising from the sale of the
church property should be restored to the
church, to be applied to charitable uses and
purposes, but not In the preaching Of polyg-

CHICAGO's FIGHT ENDS.
The Democratic Councilmen Yfela
and Swift fs Declared Elected.

with great pleasure, and not in any
critical sense. with feelings of personal
pleasure, / declare George d. Swift elected
mayor pro TEN. Of the city Of Chicago"
This announcement from Alderman Nc
Gillen. presiding officer of the Chicago COM
mon council, at their regular meeting last
night,was greeted with applause and mark
ed the peaceful end OF the crisis In the mu-
nicipal government which threatened to
become more serious II the party dissen.
sions continued.
The democratic minority OF the council
surrendered Internationally to their oppo-
nents just before the opening Of the regular
meeting. The overtures for peace were
made by the steering committee from the
democrats, they realizing that their case
was hopeless, either on q secret ballot OF
an open one.
Reading Clerk Neumeister opened the
meeting by calling the roll and when tho
announcement was made that the sixty
eight aldermen were present Alderman
Kent moved that Alderman McGillen take
the chair. which he did.
The next move in the line Of a peaceful
settlement OF the trouble was the adoption
without reading of the minutes Of Satur-
days turbulent meeting, and q meeting
held yesterday morning by the democrats
alone, the republicans having absented
themselves and evaded the summons OF the
sergeant-at-arms sent by the democrats.
On motion of Alderman Kent the coun~
Gil then proceeded to take q new ballot tor
acting mayor.
Alderman O'Neil, as senior teller, an
nounced that the whole number OF votes
cast had been sixty-nine, Of which George
Il. Swift received fifty and John McGillen
nineteen. He explained that the extra bali
lot had been cast by two being folded to-
gether, and the chairman Immediately de-
nounced such tactics In the severest terms
as unworthy of aldermen and gentlemen
That there might be no mistake IL was de-
cided by the chair that the ballot was void
and another should be taken. He also
asked that the next ballot should be unani-
nous for his opponent The second and
decisive ballot resulted as follows: Swift
e.; McGillen, s; blank, 1.
In taking the chair, Alderman Swift said
he would endeavor, in all his actions to
continue to merit the good will and esteem
and appreciation of his colleagues and the
citizens Of Chicago. He was personally
gratified at the action of the council and
believed the citizens would be also when
they learned Of the happy solution OF what
might have been a most serious matter.
The council adjourned until next Thurs
day night, after arranging for Harrison
memorial exercises to be held a week from
next Thursday by the council A special
election for mayor will be held November a.

Sentenced to Death.

In company with other prisoners, Capt.
Gordon was sent back to Fort McHenry,
where he had been previously imprisoned,
to be tried there on the charge of being a
spy. and was finally condemned to be shot
on November 20. After sentence had been
pronounced, he thanked the court that it
had awarded him the death Of soldier, and
not Of a felon. But he was never executed,
and with this part Of his military expert
ences an incident is interlinked which has
now not only national but even interna-
tional interest.
Just about that time a gallant Union off,
Ger fell into the hands Of the confederates
and was taken to Libby prison. Not long
before his capture he had boosted in a let
ter written to a friend from the camp be-
fore Richmond that he would be in that city

Al SKA GOLr.

The steamer Umatlla arrived in San
Francisco last week from Puget Sound
ports with 100 cabin and $50 steerage
passengers, says the Call Among the
steerage passengers were a number Of
miners from the Yukon river They all
did very we'll and many OF them had
large nuggets OF gold to show as speci.
mems of their years work They made
their way down the river in bsteaux to
st Michaels, and thence were taken to
Ounalaska on the revenue cutter Bear.
There were seventeen in all in the party
that arrived at st Michaels, and the gold
dust in their possession was valued at
$4,000. Beside this the miners had
nuggets that would make $40, 900 more.
Taking into account what the men had
to pay for stores at Nulato the earnings
of the party must have been about $780,
OOO The onl y strangers the miners saw
during the summer were two parties of
Indians who came from Kotzebue Sound
to trade. The men were dressed in deer
skins when they boarded the Umatilla,
but changed to more civilized clothing
before the steamer reached San Francisco.

NOVEMBER FORECA ITS.

Hicks Word and Work has the follow
ing forecasts of the weather for Novem-
Der:
Some wise weather seer has said that
when the moon changes in the morning,
rainy and stormy weather will ensue.
If this be so, November will be ANYTHING
but placid, as all changes of the moon
occur in the morning But glance at
other causes, as we see them, is sufficient
to put US on our guard against storm and
disagreeable changes during most Of the
month.
From about the 9TH to the 10th, be.
ginning in the west, all parts OF the
country will in turn experience the pro-
gressive and changing phases Of the
period There are reasons to apprehend
hard and dangerous gales in connection
with the disturbances of this period,
especially on the lakes md nertherIy
seas. Sharp cold and freezing may be
expected Immediately behind the area of
low barumeters and storms, causing cold
and frosty weather generally up to the
changes to warmer and stormy from
about the l4th to 10th. BE ON the watch
for sudden changes to colder after the
storm area OF each period passes to the
east of your locality.
The opposition of Jupiter occurs on
the 18th, and there is much indication
that these oppositions greatly excite all
atmospheric perturbations occurring
about such times. This opposition will
likely be felt most severely during the
storm period rnnning from the 10Th to
the 23rd. The Venus excitement will
also be present at this period, giving
good grounds for fearing heavy storms as
q result. The final crlcis of this period
may not come until the full moon on the
23rd The Venus extremes from warm
to sudden and piercing cold, with
thunder and rain turning to northwest
gales and snow, will show themselves al
this time. Several days of cold weather
will follow this period.
The Venus equinox is central on thu
Doth, and its influences win be plainly fell
in all the disturbances for about twenty
days before and twenty after that date
Ordinary or normal disturbances other
wise, will be excited into great and pro
longed violence, SO that many disasters
will be heard from. The reactionar,
movements about the 23rd to 9th. will
feel the central force of this Venus periot
and wind up in great cold. So will tn

the lust day of the month and runs int

GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The gold fields of the Transvaal re-
public in South Africa yielded over 1885,
600 ounces in August, which is the
largest product yet recorded in any one
month. In round figures years output
at the same rate would be worth $780,
500, 600, which is about equal to the
annual production of gold in either the
United States or Australia. In the
countries last named, however, the gold
yield is about stationary, whereas it is
rapidly increasing year BY year in South
Africa. II the Transvaal mines produce
$50, 900, 900 in 1898, there will be S4O,-
900, 900 worth of gold mined in 1894 in
all probability. Where the top limit
will be reached can hardly be guessed.
Good judges say that hundreds Of square
miles of territory are underlaid with gold
bearing rock and that the total yield of
the region will not fall below 81, 500, 000,-
