THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
The Game Bill Is FavorabIy Reported to
the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. = Especial. i
Delegate Caine's bill, giving an enabling
act to Utah, which was agreed to by the
House territories committee at its last
meeting was today favorably reported to
the House. The report which accompa-
MES the bill was written by Mr.. Game
and Mr.. Mansur of Missouri. 1t is an in
teresting document. Mr.. Game and Man
sur begin their report by quoting Presi-
dent Harrison's proclamation granting
amnesty to the disfranchised polygamists,
as a supplement to the manifesto of
Bishop Woodruff in which polygamy as
an article of church faith was solemnly
renowned is also given. The report de-
tails at some length the subsequent action
of the Mormon people, where in general
conference the Bishops manifesto was ap-
proved. The petition for amnesty re-
ferred to by the president in his procla-
nation, signed by the leading men in the
Mormon church, is given in full, as is
also the letter written by Governor
Thomas and the federal judges of Utah
asking the presidents favorable consider
alton of the petition.
EsDIessrs. Game and Mansur, referring spe-
officially to the statehood question, quote
from the resolution of the Republican
Territorial convention, held in the sum-
mer of 1892, wherein the party pledges
itself that its best efforts shall be exerted
to secure statehood for Utah. They also
copy the two planks in the Democratic
Territorial convention upon the same
subject, as well as the planks in the Re-
publican and Democratic National plat
forms of the last year. The report from
this point says:
''When we remember that Utah has
population of 225, 600 people and property
of an assessed valuation of over 500, OOO,-
900 and OF real value of not less than
500, 900, 900, being a population and
wealth far exceeding that of any terri
tory, except South Dakota, that has ever
been admitted in the Union as states, it
is and must be evident to all that the only
barrier in all the past to admission OF
Utah as a state was that of polygamy
While your committee utterly condemn
the doctrine Of polygamy and hold that SO
long as the Mormons constitute the larger
part of the population of the territory of
Utah, and personally, or as a matter of
faith, with or without the practice, be-
lieve in the doctrine OF polygamy, then it
was proper and right for the federal gov
eminent to use all OF its vast powers to
secure the overthrow and destruction of
that practice.
Yet in view of the foregoing facts set
forth in the report, as well as the concur
rent testimony of all parties interested in
the welfare OF Utah, who have appeared
before your committee in its hearing du-
ring the present Congress, as well as the
vast amount OF testimony submitted to

IDAHO LEGISLATURE,
The Substitute For the Story Test Oath
Bill is Pending

BOISE, Ida, Jan. 24.-[Special. lin
the house today two county division bills
were introduced. Mr.. Turner of Bingham
introduced one to form the county of Soda
out of the southeastern portion of Bing-
ham, with the dividing line four miles
north of McCammon, which place is to be
in the new county. Soda Springs is
named as the temporary county seat
Mr.. Barratt of Bear Lake introduced tie
other, providing for the creation of Cleve-
land county out of what is now Bear Lake
and Soda Springs precinct in Bingham
county, Montpelier being named the
county seat.
The substitute for the Story test oath
bill was considered in committee of the
whole. A motion by Mr.. Lewis, Popu-
list, of Alturas, to strike from the bill all
reference to polygamy and bigamy was
lost by a vote of 10 to Is, the Republicans
with the exception or Graves of Oneida,
voting against the motion. and the Demo-
Gratis and Populists excepting Mr.. Cart
well, Democrat, of Shoshone, voting for it.
The bill as it now stands contains only
the qualifications of the state constitution
as to electors, and will pass both houses.
The bill providing for revision and codi-
fication of the general laws was tabled.
The committee on roads reported favor
ably on Workman's state wagon road bill,
which carries $3.50, 600 appropriation, and
the following bills were introduced:
By Mr.. Coldwsll, OF Bingham, to estab-
lish state Industrial school for destitute
male children under 12 years and female
children under is, which carries $40, 900

Platt that the old three territories should
be given enabling acts. The New Mexico
bill will probably come up within the
next fortnight for consideration in the
Senate, and possibly sooner. When it
does, it will be briefly debated for none
of the Democratic Senators are likely to
oppose it and it will pass so amended as
to carry equal benefits to Utah and Okla
homa. It will then go back to the House
ments Will be speedily concurred in, and
hence l say bill giving an enabling act
to the three territories will undoubtedly
be passed upon the federal statute books
before the fourth day of next March.
The act of the Republican senators to-
day in deciding to give enabling acts to
the three territories was not wholly de-
void of selfshness. It seems alnlostsun-
gracious to say this when one remembers
how much the people of the territories
will be benefited by admission, and yet
it is an open secret that the Republicans,
approaching the fact that that statehood
is only question of few months at the
best, decided to take the bull by the
horns and score what credit they could by
coming out squarely for the proposition.
The Democratic House passed the New
Mexico bill last winter. and they knew,
too, that the same Democratic House is
ready at this session to pass similar bills
for Utah and Oklahoma. The only way
to neutralize the good effect of this action
was for the Republicans in the Senate to
be equally prompt in coming forward and
throw their influence in the same direc-
ton. The Republican leaders hope by
this NOV 5ment at least to hold their own
in the proposed new states, if not to in
crease their chances of success there. How
well they viii succeed remains to be seen.

on FIRE DAMP.
A Terrible Accident in an Aus
trian Coat Mine.
EIGHTY MINERS KILLED.
The Work Of Rescue Retarded By
Gas in the Galleries.
Awful Scenes at the Pits Mouth When
the Bodies Were Brought Out
Women Attempt to Mob
the Mine Officials.

VIENNA, Jan. 24.-An explosion of
fire damp occurred today in the Fort
schritt mine at Dux, in Bohemia. Dis
patches tonight say that eighty miners
are killed and scores injured. The expIo-
sion occurred this morning when the
shifts were changing. A cage full Of
miners had been lowered half way when
the ground trembled, a loud rumbling
report was heard and the lowering ma
chinery broke. Help was summoned.
the machinery repaired and the cage
raised. Ten occupants were killed in
stantly by the shock. Ten suffered frac-
lures from which they cannot recover,
five who had broken limbs and internal
injuries will live. They were half suffo-
Gated by gas rising in the shaft, and said
no man could live below.
An hour later the superintendent of the
mine and five miners from the night shift
went down in the cage. They were IN
able to go more than hundred yards,
but they found fourteen dead bodies of
the fifty men who were waiting for the
cage below. Ten were killed and forty
partially crushed by falling timbers OF
half suffocated by the foul air. The
bodies and the injured were taken to the
top where the whole mining settlement
had gathered to watch the work of rescue.
Men brough up said they heard cries and
groans from the mouth of the gallery,
about 300 yards from the shaft, and they
believed forty men who were at work in
the gallery, were imprisoned by falling
beams.
Another rescue party went down at
once. and after three of them had been
carried back to the shaft unconscious,
penetrated to the entrance of the gallery.
The entrance was completely blocked by
wrecked woodwork. The rescue party
could see several dead bodies on the other
side of the timbers, but was unable to
get at them, and returned empty handed.
1t is believed all the men in the gallery
were suffocated or killed. Twelve miners,
who worked in the extreme interior OF
the mine, are also believed to be dead.
Despite the apparent hopelessness Of
the situation, rescue parties are still in
the mine, and thousands have gathered
at the pits mouth. When the extent Of
the disaster became evident, women Of
the dead mems families attempted to
mob the mine officials. The officials sent
to Dux for police, and three companies
of soldiers are camped around the pits
mouth tonight,

WASHINGTON CONTEST.
The President Appealed to Order a Diplo-
mat to His Post of Duty.


OLYMPIA, Wash. Jan. A.-It was ex-
pected the senatorial deadlock would be
either broken today or frightened so it
will remain fast until the end OF the
session. Aliens supporters claim three
additions, which will give him "a votes
or three short of election. Turner's "A
friends have agreed to stand firm, while
Democrats are pleased to hope they will
run in dark horse. Two ballots were
taken with no change Allen, 81; Turner,
30; Greggs, II; Teats, g.
A message was sent to President Har-
rison and Secretary of State Foster today
by the managers of Turner's campaign
for United States senator. Calling at
tention to the nomination OF Frederick ].
Grant OF Seattle for envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to Bolivia
the END day of last December.
The message then refers to the haste
made on the confirmation of The appoint
ment by the Senate in order that Grant
might enter upon his duties before Janu-
airy 4th. The telegram goes on to relate
how Gran instead of fastening to Bolivia
is at Olympia, and deplores the unusual
spectacle of diplomatic representative
OF the government acting as manager in
a senatorial contest. The message closes
as follows:
t'You are looked upon as model chief
executive of the nation and have it in
your power to stop such scandalous pro-
ceedings. Will you do it and save the
Republican party in this state from total
disru ption?"
The Senate today unanimously passed
the anti Pinkerton bill which was vetoed
last session by acting Governor Taughlon.
Many of both the Turner and Allen
supporters are apparently becoming tired
OF the deadlock, and tonight talk of a new
man is heard on every hand. Judge Tur-
ner prints today over his own signature a
lengthy letter explaining his position,
and in closing, says: ~ am not in po-
sition to close this contest with
credit to the Republican party with any
personal sacrifice. 1t will do that party
infinitely less harm to continue to theend
of the session than to submit to lmpudent
corporation dictates which undertakes to
say to representatives of the people who
they shall elect to public Office. In the
interest of the Republican party of the
state / accept the gauntlet thrown down
by the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, and say to it, it's servants and en-
ployees, we will fight this contest out to
the end; win if you can"

THE PRESS REPORT.
The Measure Will Hardly Be Reached
During This Session.

During This Session.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Republic
can Senatorial caucus this afternoon de-
cided by a majority vote to take favorable
action upon the admission of the terrific
ries of Oklahoma. Utah and New Mexico,
but left Arizona out in the cold. This re-
suit was not attained until after a pro-
longed discussion. A great deal of oppo-
sition was manifested on the part of some
eastern Senators, who pointed to what
they called evidences of the inability of
these territories to take up the cares and
burdens of statehood. Objection was
made to the admission of New Mexico on
account of its great preponderance of
citizens who could not speak or write the
English language, to Arizona because of
its immense debt and the poverty of the
territor; to Utah on account of the preva-
lance of polygamy, and to Oklahoma by
reason of its newness and absence of the
essentials which go to make up success
full territory, ready for the more advanced
position of statehood.
The caucus developed into a contest be-
tween the extreme west and east and ap-
pears to have been victory for the
younger members of the Senate. 1t is
considered a victory, however, in name
only, for subsequent action of the caucus
negatived the result. 1t was agreed that
the question of admission should be made
the order of business to follow discus
sion of the Nicaragua canal and after the
present matter of the Cherokee strip is
disposed of. and the Senate will take up
the various inter-stat commerce bills and
will then begin discussion of the Mica
ragua canal bill. In the meantime the
appropriation bills, which have the right
of way, viii begin to make their appear
ance and demand the attention of the
Senate.
Thus it will be seen that the chances for
discussion of the bills to admit the ter
ritories are very slim, and eastern SEN
ators who gave assent to the caucus pro-
gramme very reluctantly, have no hest
tency in saying no action will be taken
during this session of Congress whatever.
On the other hand, friends of the terri
tories assert that the Republicans stand
committed to a favorable vote, regardless
whether it comes up this session or dur
ing the next Congress.

He Has Been Unconscious for a Week
and the End Draws Near.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-There is no en-
enlargement in the reports as to even
temporary gain OF strength received from
Blaine's physician or family today, and
the impression everywhere is becoming
more emphatic that each day now finds
him in some respects not so well as on the
previous day. Everything about the
house tonight appears thus far the same
as usual. The dim light in the sick room,
seen through drawn curtains, conveys no
sign of anything beyond the ordinary
vigil. Physicians at 9 o'clock said there
was no material change.
A relative of the family says Blaine has
not spoken word for more than week.
He is unconscious most of the time, but
immediate dissolution is not looked for.
