CRISP WANTS AN EXTRA,
So That They Can Hurry Up Free Trade
So He Saws,

So He Says.
ATLANTA, Ga, April G. Speaker Crisp
has reached the city on his way to
Americus. He was at once besieged by
office-hunters for his signature to ap-
plications. II am glad" said Speaker
Crisp, that there will be an extra ses-
sion of congress in September. l have
always been in favor of an extra ses-
sion, and wanted to see it come right
after the Inauguration. You see we can
get good and satisfactory tariff law
passed by the end of this year if we
meet in September and send it to the
senate after Christmas, and by this time
next year we can have it safely landed
beyond congress.
This would gives us plenty of time
to get the law in full operation before
the next election. 1t will take some
time to get the benefit of the law real.
lied by the people, and when that is
done the advantage of such reform
will be living reality, and the people,
fully enjoying it, will proclaim the
truth of the democratic policy again at
the next election with even greater en-
phasis."

LUMBER PLANT
And Twenty-six Buildings Destroyed by
Fire at Coal Grove, O.


Fire Mt Coal Grove, O.
COAL GROVE, o., April S.-The most
destructive fire that ever visited this
section occurred at l o'clock p. M, Fri
day, originating in the dry-house of the
Yellow Poplar Lumber Co., wealthy
incorporation.
During drought and heavy gale
every thing was swept before the fire.
Nothing could check the destroying
flames except to burn away the thirty
houses and 1000, 600 feet of lumber.
This is one of the largest of three
plants owned by this company, man
ageed by +. c. O'Connell, formerly of
Chicago.
Two men are supposed to be lost in
the planning mill, which was totally
destroyed. The company's store and
Office goods were carried windward,
and were soon burned. Many people
are destitute of homes and shelter to-
night, their household goods lying
about in the field and neighborins
houses.

The Great Temple at Salt Lake ciH
Dedicated.
Many Troubles, Trials and DisaHrooments
We're observation-disclosures and De-
termination Triumphant - The
Cost NaA Over 8A,OOO,O0O.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April t.
Thursday was great day in the his
tory Of the Mormon sect, not only in
this territory, but wherever in the wide
world their followers are scattered.
Forty years ago Thursday, precisely
ut the hour of noon, the apostles, in
the presence of an immense multitude,
laid the foundation stone of the inn
mense pile Of masonry hereafter to be
known as the Mormon temple. In the
long interval many troubles, trials and
discouragements were encountered, and
for many years work on the project
was at standstill. Courage and deter
mination finally conquered, however,
and to-day the denomination is enabled
to point with pride to n magnificent
house of worship which represents an
expenditure of considerably over "a, 000,-
900.
The temple is constructed of light
gray mountain granite, is ninety-nine
feet in width, and 200 feet in depth.
The towers project upwards to a height
of 200 feet The dedication exercises
opened Thursday, and the programme
as arranged will cover an entire week.
During this period business will be en-
tirely suspended and the Mormon COM
munity will alternate between devotion
and festivity.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-04-15
and festivity

Delegates 'of the church from all it's
colonies in the world have been arriv-
ing for the past two weeks to partici-
pate in the event, as well as in the
Mormon conference which is incident
to it. Solemn services were held in the
temple Thursday morning preparatory
to the formal dedication. The musical
portion of the service was rendered by
n monster choir, selected from all parts
of the territory. During the week S
celebration there will be grand par
ade. Thousands of dispatches of greet
ing and congratulation have been re-
ceived by the apostles from Mormons in
other parts of the world.
The east part of the temple is for the
Melchesidec priesthood, representing
the higher or spiritual affairs The
west is of the Aaronic priesthood
representative of temporal existence.
The figure on the east central tower
symbolizes the angel named in the
fourteenth chapter and sixth verse of
Johns Revelation.
There are in the building many stones
symbolical of different conditions of
mankind. Around the base are earth
stones. Above these are moon stones,
showing the moon in it's various phases,
and emblematic of terrestrial glory
Still higher than these are sun stones,
typical of celestial or the highest glory
of the heavens. There are also star
stones representing the glory of the
stars. On the west tower is the Ursa
Major, pointing to the polar star and
indicating that there is fixed guide
for fallen mankind to return to God.
Then there are cloud stones and others
Of like symbolical nature. The archi-
lecture of the building is without a
known parallel in ancient or modern
times

Net Gold in the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The treasury
department is in easier condition than
it has been for several months past, due
largely to the increased receipts from
customs. With this condition the
tightness in gold has somewhat disap-
peared, and where no gold was received
in payment of customs duties gold in
considerable quantities is now paid.
The net gold Friday in the treasury de,
partment is SO, 292, O19, and it is being
received daily in exchange for small
notes, for which the demand still con.
tinues good.

WASHINGTON, April Ut was Chilli
during the last administration. 1t may
be its neighbor, Peru, during this 1t
appears that the United States con-
sulate at one of the Peruvian ports haa
been sacked by mob, with apparent
police sanction. The officer acting as
consular agent for the United States
was fred upon and wounded in the
foot The news comes in brief tele-
gram through the United States minis
ter to Peru. He omitted such essential
details as the name of the place and
the name of tho wounded officer, or
they were dropped from his dispatch in
the telegraphic transmission. His tel
egram is as follows:
LIMA, April s. 1893
GRESHAM, washington:-At (place omtted)
mob attacked masonic lodge, sacked building
and burned fixtures in the street Incidental
ly, U. S. consulate was invaded, furnishings
destroyed and acting consular shot in foot

lice looked on, while the mob performed work
without interference. The mail brings the par
uculars. HICKS.
Secretary Gresham conferred with the
president on the subject, and Thursday
afternoon sent the following telegram
to the minister:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., April G, 1893
"HICKs, Minister Lima: Protest against
failure of authorities to afford protection
to consulate and If facts are well established,
ask expression of regret, prompt prosecution Of
the guilty parties and reparation for injury 70
American property and person.
"GRrsHAM."
There is but one consulate in Peru,
that at Callao, In this position Mr..
Aquilla j. Daugherty, of Illinois, ap-
pointed during Mr.. Harrison's admin
istration, stands on the record as con-
sui. There are under him seven con-
sular agencies, the occupants of which
positions are doubtless mostly mer-
chants of the country, who are paid by
fees, and these fees seem to be very
small, inasmuch as only two make any
returns at all to the department of fees
collected, and those returns are under
S25 year
Whether the outrage complained of
occurred at one of these smaller places
or at Callao no one at the department
can determine from the telegram, but
inasmuch as it comes from Lima the
impression prevails that the scene of
the outrage was one of the interior
points,
This impression is strengthened
by the knowledge in the department
that in many cases, where the natives
assault the sub-consulate, the trouble
is due not to any antagonism to the
country represented, but to prejudice
and ill-feeling against the representa-
tive personally. This is not an uncom-
mon occurrence in South America, or in
other parts of the world, where the
acts of mercantile consular agent are
resented by the people, who would re-
spect the acts of citizen of the United
States duly appointed to a full consular
position.

REDoNDo BEACH, Cal, April Q. .--Pur~
ser Stanley, from the steamer Los AM
yeles, reports the picking up of boat
about forty miles north Of Redondo
which proved to be the missing one Of
the ill-fated ship King James The
boat left the ships side when fire drove
them from the vessel about $50 miles
off PIT Conception. They left the ship
at midnight on March 13 and laid by
until o'clock the following morning.
At 6:40 o'clock in the evening of the
81st the boat was capsised and there
were four men drowned. The captain,
his boy and the remainder of the crew
climbed up on the keel of the boat
and succeeded in righting her, but the
boat was full of water, and they re-
mained to their waists in water four
teen hours, when the men, worn out,
exhausted and chilled, began dying,
and one after another passed away,
until eight, including the captains son,
were dead. The dead were passed
| overheard, and the boat was so relieved
by this means that those living were
enabled to sail her. All the provisions,
oars and rigging of every kind, except
ing a small piece of sail, were lost at
the upsetting of the boat, and it
was only through an ingenious
contrivance of making the grating
and boat lining into a rudder and
the use of the scrap of sail mentioned
that they were enabled to make any
headway whatever. When picked up
by the Los Angeles, Wednesday morn
ing, the captain and the three remain
ing members of the crew had been five
days without food or water. They
were so weak as to be unable to stand
or walk, and had to be lifted from the
boat by the willing hands of the
rescuers. The surviving members of
the crew will remain on board the
Los Angeles until she returns to San
Francisco.

VIII Probably Not BE Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, April There is one
nomination now pending before the
senate, which is pregnant Of possible
discord. 1t is that of Mr.. Eckels to be
controller of the currency. At the re-
quest of the finance committee, Senator
Mcpherson visited the white house,
Thursday and informed the president
that Mr. Eckels probably could not be
confirmed, not only because of his
youth, but because of his self-admitted
ignorance of questions of currency and
finance.
