camp of the Republicans.
Registering Women.
Registrar Crowley, of the Second
precinct, yesterday took time by the
forelock and began the registration OF
women on his own hook, with fair sue
cess. Registrar Crowley has made up
his mind that it is just as we'll to
cause the women to register, and then
if the courts decide they have the
right to vote they will be on the list.
So he is carrying a separate book
and is entering the names as he goes
along If the courts decide the wo-
men have the elective franchise then
Crowley will be ahead of his COM
panions, while if the decision is con-
trary, all he has to do is to lay the
work aside and declare that his
trouble compensates him for his
pains.
Martha Hughes Cannon is the first
woman to register. She was enrolled
by Registrar Crowley yesterday, to-
gether with several other women,
among them being Amelia Folsom
Young.
In connection with this action on
his part there may be those who will
protest against 1t, but on the whole
it appears TO be a wise proceeding
Inasmuch as the decision of the court
will be made public soon, there can
be no harm done; and were the matter
postponed until later day it would
be specially appropriate. Suppose the
registration matter were taken into
court and kept there until, say three
or four days before election-it would
be a matter of impossibility to enroll
all the women of this territory under
those circumstances; where if they
were enrolled in separate lists, all
would DE well.
The women of the city are especially
anxious to become registered and the
registrars in this city report willing
ness-nay, an eagerness-to become
citizens which would astonish those
who have been claiming that the wo-
men do not want to vote.

by spear wound on the right side of
the head, the weapon cleaving his
head. The last thee bodies were lying
in one heap. Apparently no post NOR
tenn mutilation had been attempted.
IniS frightful massacre was done by
members of the secret society known
as the Vegetarians, which is causing
much trouble alike to Christians and
heathens in and around Ku Cheng
city. From various reports of those
who saw the attack, I believe about
so men were engaged. These were arm
ed with spears and swords and seemed
strongly organized and under one chief
leader The attack came like thunder
bolt out of a clear sky, not one of
the victims having the slightest init
nation OF the intention 10 assault
them.
Thirty minutes from the time the
onslaught commenced not a single
vegetarian was to be seen near the
grounds of the massacre. After urg-
emit pleading and finally commanding,

IN. By travelling all that night man
aged to reach Suikaw at $50 a. m.
August 8. There was the saddest pro-
cession ever formed in China. The
magistrate had sent runners to
Suikaw by our orders and had i'm
pressed four native boats for US. We
left for Foo Chow in the afternoon
On the morning of the fourth we met
a steam launch taking the sub-pre-
feet to Suikaw-I boarded her and in
sisted on the launch to bring our boats
TO Foo Chow, lit being necessary to
arrive there as soon as possible since
the effects of the severe heat were
proving disastrous.
AT noon we met Mr.. Gibbs, who
kindly came in a house boat to meet
us, bringing more supplies. About
80 p. M, he greeted us and cteered
us. We arrived at the consulate at
Foo Chow, where Consul Hixson and a
large party of friends soon had the
injured comfortably resting on clean
beds.
Cause of the Massacre.
when the question is raised as to
the cause of the terrible massacre,
one need have little doubt that the
Vegetarians were the active partici-
pants and that the local and provin-
cial authorities were directly implicat-
ed in the crime seems certain, for the
society has been strong around Ku
Cheng for two years and increasing.
THE members have been growing
holder in their threats and acts as the
months have passed. Early in July
last, several hundred attacked a vii
lage near Ku Cheng and killed and
wounded several natives not Chris
tians
This never punished viceroy
sent Ku Cheng a small force of 200
soldiers to assist the local authorities
in settling with several thousand de-
termined savages. 1t was a mere
farce and the legal officers were unable
to do anything, but they criminally
failed to promptly demand reinforce
ments from the viceroy.
ut is obvious to all who looked at
the matter much, that the Chinese
have been encouraged to take foreign
ers' property in this province. Just as
long as the foreign powers are satisfied
with the barbarous destruction of life,
just so long will China fail to govern
her people.

Republicans Are Anxious.

4 hope the courts will decide that
the women have not the right to vote, !"
said a prominent member of the
O-queer club yesterday. IF the de-
cision is the other way it will compli-
cate matters in this county to such an
extent that it will be difficult to say
just where we will land. l realize that
most Of the women throughout the
territory are Democratic-in fact, [
think a vast majority of them outside
Of Salt Lake viii go against us. The
Republicans so far. however, have
felt secure in Salt Lake county. They
have placed themselves behind that
majority of 1.4O0 and have believed
that it would not be possible to over
turn it this fail. But just now our
canvass is showing us something re
markabIe. 4 great many of our Re
publican voters-hundreds, in fact
come from that class of men who are
living as bachelors and, therefore,
cannot double their strength. This will
have potent effect for the Democrats.
But there is another thing on which
we must count. In this city there are
enough servant girls from the outside
counties to completely swamp our ma
jority I tell you if women vote this
fall I do not know where we will
land"

Registration work has been begun
in earnest. Chief Registrar Wilson and
his deputies have established them
selves in the Galena block, and yes

In regard to the registering of

AS soon as the body was recovered
Herald reporter went to this person and
from him learned the probable solution
of the cause for the suicide Of John F.
Mcguire.
'On last Friday Mcguire came to me, -

there was another terrible scene.

foolish, and after few words more Ma

This solution of the cause OF the dead
mans act IS borne out by the statements
of others of his close friends. One told
reporter that the least that was said of
he matter the better. Mcguire mad, 10

asserted, got into such fix that the only
way out of it was that which he chose.
The only things he could have done we're
either to leave the country or else sui
eide. He could not do the former and
retain any respect, so he took death
rather than disgrace.
EXPECTED TO BE KILLED.
Mcguire has roomed at the Sunnyside.
at 319 North Broadway, for the past two
months, and was we'll liked by all who
met him. The landlady said yesterday
that for two days before his disappear
ance he seemed to be anticipating some
thing to happen to him, and tod her so.
On Friday when he left the house he
said to her that if he failed to return a
the regular time not to worry about
him, as he might be killed that very
evening. She says she thought he was
joking and did not have her fears aroused.
The following day she asked him if be

phans' fair, and he replied that she
might just as well buy a ticket to bis
wake as to get one for the fair. or some-
thing TO this effect. All OF his clothes
and other effects are in the room as he
left them, and no disposition has yet
been made of them.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT 1T.
remarks OF the deceased go to prove that
he had been contemplating suicide. To
quite nun Der he said that if ever he
disappeared or they had cause to feai any
ill had befallen him, to LOOK in the lake
at Westlake park. II ne was murdered it
is scarcely likely that he would have
knownthe place where the crime was to
be perpetrated.
No credence is placed in the theory OF
murder by the majority OF the officers.
but until the cause for the wounds look
ing as they do WAS explained here was
every reason in the world to think that
Mcguire had met foul play.
WHERE HE GOT THE MONEY.
It has just been learned where Mcguire
secured the money which he had the
evening before his disappearance. He
borrowed $40 from Captain Neville, CASH
ed cheek for $35 at Mike Polaski's and
got $40 from Wallace, the saloon man.
What use he had for this or where it

man and one of the best and most gener-
Gus of men.
HEARD THE PISTOL SHOTS.

HEARD THE PISTOL SHOTS.
After Mcguire left the store of Lewis,
his movements have not yet been ex.
planned. At all events the next trace of
him is at Westlake park, and then no one
saw him, only the reports and flashes of
his revolver coming to the notice Of these
later witnesses.
Their names are Alfred G. and Bur-
dick K. Peterson, who live at 1903 Ingra-
ham street. They carry newspapers in
the morning, and were out.in the yard
about 4 80 a. m. Sunday, Eitching up
preparatory to starting for the Office.
Both say they heard three shots in rap i'd
succession and saw the flashes. Then cams
short lull and silence, while both
strained their ears to hear any further
noise from the direction of the lake
which is distance of about four or five
blocks.
Soon fourth shot was heard, and
though the.boys waited for quite time
nothing more occurred. They did not at
tach any particular significance to the
matter and hurried to their work. When
they read of the disappearance and prob
able suicide of Mcguire in the papers yes
terday morning, they naturally recalled
the occurrence OF the four shots Iand
went and impaired their information to
the officers. The statements of these
boys correspond exactly with the mum Der
OF loads in Maguires' revolver. There
were six cham bers in the gun. Five were
empty and one loaded. He always car.
RED one empty chamber and rested the
hummer of the pistol on it, habit no
doubt acquired while he was cow boy.
This would go TO prove that he had fired
olny four times by the lake, which taIlies
with the mum Der the Peterson boys heard.
Why he fired three times uselessly cannot
be determined exactly.
THE CAUSE OF THE SUICIDE.
When the thsory of Maguire's suicide
was at first limited number of reasons
were naturally advanced by the various
officers. but one of the most significant
features OF the entire affair is that his
most intimate friends and closest con-
fidants all were, with possibly one excep.
ton, unanimous in the assertion that his
body would be found In the lake. One of
the latter said ne .sOuld clear up the en-

nerved himself up to commit the deed he
shut his jaws and clenched his hands
with the determination of death and then
tired the ball into his head.
THE LAST TO SEE MAGUIRE.
Al was stated, the last place where Ma
guirs was seen on Saturday night was at
. store on East First strset near Hewitt.
It 10 conducted by B. Lewis. Mcguire
drove to the place ana called for two CT
CARS. Mr.. Lewis brought them out to
him and Mcguire handed him 20 cents in
payment. MIR. Lewis had in the mean
while called Mrs. Lewis, who stood there
talking. When the money was offered in
payment Mr.. Lewis says that he gave 10
cents back to Mcguire and told him that
Was too much for the goods, and the lat
VI replied that he wanted to buy TO- cent
Cigars.
Mr.. Lewis states that Mcguire seemed to
have large amount OF oney in a purse
from which he took the small change.
Just nov much there was in the purse
or whether it was in gold or not he could
not say.
Mcguire appeared very nervous at the
time Of this visit. and when asked why
he was nor working as usual simply
Shrugged his shoulders.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis denied most
positively that Mcguire had sent their
daughter back to the east and added
that they alone had raised the money and
she went at the urgent invitation OF rela-
lives.
MI. Lewis and his wife declared that
they did not believe Mcguire had sui
eided. and gave as their opinion that he
had met with foul play. They knew the
man too veil. they said, and felt assured
6hat he was not the kind of person TO
have taken his own life. When asked if
they had any idea as to the probable per-
noffat6s Of the murder, both SAID they
kad none, and only based this belief on
1oefr knowledge Of the dead man. They

went is not known, but the officers have
q very clear idea who received it after he
got the horse and buggy.
Certain of the officers have another idea
of the cause for the suicide of Mcguire,
ana say it was on account of unrequitted
affection; but the correct solution has
probably been given already.
This last is to the effect that Mcguire
was IN love with Miss Belle Lewis, one
OF the daughters of the proprietor of the
store on First street, TO whom Mcguire
is believed to have last talked. The girl
is 81 years old and she was sent east to
New York last May. There her affections
for her western lover began. to diminish
and she at las. acquainted Mcguire, sn
the story goes. that she could not marry
him as she had promised. He took this
very hard and some of the officers think
that ne was SO broken up over it that he
killed himself.
Whatever may have been Maguire's
faults and the causes that led to his mis-
cry no one can deny his generous nature
and responsive heart. He was az ready
to assist a friend and as pleased witt his
or her success as though close relative.
He was native born 1rishman and in
him were blended some very fine traits.
His CHEEKY laugh and good nature will
be mourned by his scores OF friends and
acQuaintAnceS.
Coroner Campbell will hold the inquest
this morning between 10 and II o'clock.
The funeral will probably be conducted
by one OF the societies of which he was
member or jointly by Thorn.
