one Tor delay.
Mr. Nye denied the charge. The mo-
ton was made in all sincerity. There
should be no benefits extended to one
class that were denied to another
The motion failed by heavy vote
upon division.
Mr.. Critchlow moved to amend by
including among the issue thus legiti-
mated chose which may be hereafter
born
Speaking to the motion, Mr. Critch-
low offered the same argument he ad-
vanced when the favorable minority
report was adopted calling upon the
members TO give him one good reason
why the operation of the bill should
not extend for all time if it were not
to end on October 1. 1891. He renewed
his statements made before, that the
people of the east would accuse the
people of the west of insincerity in
their observance of the manifesto, sup
plementing his previous argument
with the statement of his belief tnat
such a bill would tend to defeat the
measure now pending in congress TO re-
store church property.
Mr.. Howard hoped the gentleman S
remarks would not have the eeffct OF
soaring any one. Two such bills had
been enacted by congress and he
thought this house could safely emulate
congress example.
Mr.. Nebeker of Salt Lake had chang
ed his position from that assumed
when the bill was up Saturday. He
would not like in his declining years
to look into the faces of young people
who might have been among the I'M
fortunates, and feel that he had by
his vote helped to deprive them of leg
itimacy
Mr.. Lewis moved to amend by con-
filming the operation of the bill to cases
in which such marriages have been
solemnized according to the ceremonies
of the church. The amendment was
inserted.
Mr.. Murdoch received new light and
shortly changed his position from an
advocate to an opponent of the bill
Mr.. Murdoch said he believed it bad
and moved to STRIFE cut the enacting
clause. The motion was defeated and
Mr.. Howard rose to say he believed the
Lewis amendment had been inserted
for the purpose of defeating the bill
and asked that some gentleman who
had voted in the affirmative, move to
reconsider.
Mr.. Smoot made the motion
Mr.. Lewis said that if any gentle
man could give a reason why the issue
of a man should be legitimate who
had married a woman outside the Nor
mon church, he would vote to recon-
slider. Mr.. Cazier asked il Mr.. Lewis
lnew of any such cases, Mr.. Lewis
replying, Yes and so does the gen.
tleman."
The motion to reconsider prevailed.
and the amendment was stricken out
of the bill
Mr.. Murdoch moved to amend by
int he
marriages performed prior to Sept l,
1890
Mr.. Cazier said the bill which met
with such opposition, had not been
drafted by Mormon but by Gen
tile who was a good lawyer and knew
what he was doing
Nlr. Stevens spoke in advocacy of the
measure, after which Mr.. Beard moved
to amend the amendment by making
the limitation Oct. s, 1891 The mo-
ton was lost as also Mr. Murdocks.
Mr., Cazier moved the previous oues-
ton on final passage; the motion failed
TOR lack of two-thirds majority
THE BILL PASSES.
Mr.. Nye spoke at length against the
bill and was followed by Messrs. Muir
dock and Snedeker, after which the
previous question was again moved. 1t
prevailed and the roll call was ordered.

Mr.. Nebeker OF Rich explained his
'eason for voting no, by saying that ne
avored such a bill but that he con-
sidered it inopportune at this time.
By and by" said he, when the people
involved had passed beyond the vail.

CUBAN RESOLUTION DEFEATED.
The senate substitute for H. j. R. No.
(, DR.. CoDdon's Cuban resolution, came
Up for passage and the roll call or
Tered. When the vote reached Mr.
Jritchlow he arose and said he under
TODD the resolution passed by the house
vas very different from this substitute
which asked congress to grant bellig-
rent rights to the Cubans and that it
vas his opinion such action on the part
# congress would involve the United
states in war with Spain. He therefore
'oted no.
This apparently changed the temper |
f the members as there had been no
legative vote recorded. Whether the i
remarks had that effect or
sot, no was the response so often !
hereafter that the resolution was
Tiled.
