MILLER's ANXIETY.

Glen Miller, before the report of the
committee on rules was adopted called
attention to the need of rule which
should refer all bills on first reading
to a committed Otherwise he said
there was great danger of some wicked
man coming in there with two or three
bills of the length of the statutes of
the territory and keeping the senate
in session for from three to nine days
in listening to the first reading. He
was informed that this had been pro-
vided against and sat down satisfied.

PETITIONS.

lO1No.
Senator Allison. on behalf of the ter
ritorial commissioner of schools. T. B.
Lewis. offered the following:
L respectfully submit TO you a stale
ment and ask you for an appropria-
ton to meet the delinquencfes set forth
therein. Section ! of the territorial
school law says: That the commits
siOner Of school within and for this
territory shall receive an annual SAL
ary Of $1,000 and his necessary exDans-
es when travelling on official business
to an amount not exceeding $500 FER
annum. I submit that the last terri
torlal legislature appropriated the
sum of 81 600 per annum for the salary
of the commissioner and the sum of
$500 per annum for travelling expenses.
I have held the Office of commits
siOner for one and one-third years.
during which time l have made out
two fun annual reports and dis
charsed all the duties either in per
son or by deputy. as the law allows

sANPETEs REQUEST.
Senator Allison also offered a petf-
ton from several residents OF Eph-
rain. Sanpete county. praying for re-
lief from a very annoying condition Of
affairs. 1t appears that in 1853, several
families settled on a section of land
south Of the town. which has been i'm
proved since then and is in high
state OF cultivation. No government
survey was at that time made and
these settlers presumed they we're act
ing in good faith at that time and for
many years since. It now develops
that this section is school section.
and in order TO get the title the people
ask the legislature &c take some ac-
ton looking toward that end The
section indicated is inhabited by about
forty families.
Both these petitions were tabled un
til the proper committee should be ap-
pointed. when they will be acted upon.

WANTED A GAG LAW.

Mr.. Allison attacked the rule abolish
ing the previous question as he feared
the minority might thwart legislation
by speaking for three months on one
bill. 1t was possible he said for a
condition of this Kind to arise. The
senators did not agree with him.
Booth remarked that there should be
one house Where debate was free In
the lower house the membership being
heavy, prevented this course being
pursued and there was a limit. But in
the upper house where but few mem
bers sat conditions were different 1t
was a rule in the Senate of the United
States, and one which had been VIC
lated but few times. The theory pre-
vailed there that it would be better
that a few violations should occur
than that any man should be deprived
Of his right to a full and free discus
sion. The rule was adopted as re-
ported.

RULES REPORTED.

The committee on rules, by its chair
man, Senator Booth, then reported the
rules for the government of the SEN
ate. There were several amendments
made to the report, but none of
startling nature. Allison scored a vic
tory, which was greatly appreciated by
the minority in the matter of changing
votes. The rules as reported from the
committee provided that a member
could not change his vote after the
result had been announced by the
chair, unless by permission of the en-
tire membership present and voting.
Allison attacked this rule savagely and
declared that all men were entitled to
common courtesy. 1t might be that
some senators would vote against their
convictions by mistake and after see
ing they were wrong, it was manifestly
unfair to say that they must have the
permission of the entire senate ere
they could set themselves right. One
member might control the senate's ac-
ton in case of this Kind

system. 1t provides first for the
registry of the fee simple to land, after
which mortgages and other charges
can be registered. No tax title can be
registered except the party holding it
can prove possession under the title
for ten years. The registrar shall in
Vestigate each application made for
registry, and if he finds it as repre-
serted. shall issue a certificate of
title TO the applicant. The registrar
shall publish a weekly statement of all
first registrations. Certificates of title
shall be made out in duplicate, one
copy to be filed with the registrar and
the other to be given the applicant.
The registrar shall note at the end of
each certificate the particulars of all
estates, mortgages and encumbrances
to which the title is subject.
The registrar shall keep book, the
Register of Titles" in which he shall
enter all original certificates, either by
binding or writing them. The certif-
Gates of registration are conclusive
evidence of the holders title to the
land, and they dc away with the neces-
sfty for recording deeds and getting
up abstracts when transfers are made.
When holder of a certificate desires
TO transfer his title in a piece of prop
erty he may execute a deed in legal
form. file such deed and surrender his
certificate to the registrar, who will
cancel the same and make out a new
certlhcate for the party to whom the
property is transferred There is
penalty-fo for FRAUDULENT PROCEEDINGS,
which are enumerated in detail, and
schedule OF fees is fixed. Section 49,
the last in the bill, fixes the fees, and
as 1t sketches in outline the operation
OF the registry system, it is quoted at
length. It is as follows:
The fees of the registrar shall be as
follows:
On the fling of any application for
nrSt registration, the applicant shall
advance the sum of SIS, which shall be
IN full of all services of the registrar
and examiners up to the granting of
the certificate of title. When the APP
plication includes titles derived from
more than one source, an additional
sum of So for each source shall be
advanced.
For granting certificate of title upon
each application and registering the
same, 81.
For registering each transfer, includ-
ing the filing Of all instruments con-
nected Herewith, and the issue and
registration of the new certificate of
title, SO.
When the land transferred is held
upon any trust, condition or limitation,
an additional fee of So.
For entry of each memorial on the
register, including the filing of all in
struments and papers connected there
with, and endorsements upon dupli-
cate certificates, SO.
For filing copy of will with letters
testamentary, or filing copy of letter
of administration, and entering memoir
ial thereof, So.
For the cancellation of each memoir
ial or charge, 81
For each certificate showing condi-
ton of the register, 81.
For any certified copy of register or
any instrument or writing on file in
his office, the same fees now allowed
by law to recorders of deeds for like
services.
This bill took the same course as the
others.

REFUSED BRIDE.
Paterson Man Stopped Wedding Cere
 mony When Half Over.

PATTERSON, N. J., Sept. Tn St. Barnaba's Catholic church Monday Michael Barlyk, aged 2S, and homely, and Catherine Mersak, quite pretty, had gone into the chancel to get mar rfed by the Rev. Father Dikovitz, who started the services as usual. The witnesses were there, and the church was filled with spectators.
 Everything went along smoothly until the ceremony was about half over. Then the bridegroom held up his hand in an appeal to the priest to stop.
 The priest obeyed the sign and gazed wonderingly at the young man. The bridegroom had grown very pale and seemed nervous and agitated.
 Thinking it was only due to excite ment the priest was about to proceed again when Barlyk arose from his knees and exclaimed:
 Stop! Stop!'
 He said he would not be married and left the church.
 The bride tainted and it was neces. sary to carry her from the church. No cause is known for the strange action of the bridegroom.

THE OLD SHIP.
Famous During the Rebellion, Ida Will
 Now Be Made New.

PHILADELPHIA, Septr41.-The old American ship Ida, with history dat ing back to the days of the rebellion, when she successfully ran the gauntlet of privateers and cruisers preying on the merchant marine, was reported yesterday at the breakwater in charge of the tog boat James McCau1ey. Her mizzen, main and foretop- gallant masts are gone, the result of a storm she encountered while on her way to the Bermudas and she was sold by underwriters to American shipping men. She will be given a general ov- erhauling and the expectation is that she will yet be made to bear the brunt of many years of valuable service.
 The Ida was built in East Boston during the rebellion and traded be- tween that port and the West Indies, and very frequently had marrow es- capes from being seized by confed- crate privateers. When the risk of carrying cargo to foreign ports be- came one of great danger, the Ida, whose name was originally George H. Warren, surrendered her nationality and flew the Prussian flag. When the rebellion ended she was given an American registry, and now, after an absence of twenty-five years, she comes back to this port possibly to be made as strong as when she first sailed the high seas.

 Hast September, after the Ohio con- ference sent me here, my salary was fixed at $400. This society agreed to pay s1O0, the three rural churches $25O. The three have given $50 cash, 80 in produce. The crops were bad. It was a generous effort. In Raredon every industry paid of every week. Of the $15O owed me, but $42.50 have been paid and all of it but $2.50 before last December.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
New Workers Want Democratic Candi
 dates on a Democratic Platform.

SYRACUSE, N. r., Sept. 1.-The state convention of gold Democrats met here yesterday and selected dele gates to the Indianapolis convention. The platform repudiates the Chicago platform and it's sentiments, also the Populist platform adopted at St. Louis, because both violate and ataek all the Democratic principles. eve re- pudiate the Chicago platform bec2 Use it proposes to substitute for our pres ent standard of value, which is equal to the best in the world, an unstable and deprecated standard which has been rejected by every civilized and prosperous nation, and which would put us on monetary level with China, Mexico and other countries where la bor is notoriously underpaid." It ad- vocates a monetary system which would offer an unlimited fund of spec ulation to the capitalist, but would materially reduce the purchasing pow CT of every dollar paid to wage earn CTS, and punish honest thrift, by depre- ciating the value of savings deposit and life insurance policy. "We are therefore in favor of a firm and un- varying maintenance of the present gold standard of value so long as that standard continues to be monetary fact. We therefore declare that the approaching convention at Indianap- olis should nominate on Democratic platform Democratic candidates to whom all can pledge our honest SUD- port"

i PINOLE, Cal, Sept. 1.-A terrific explosion took place at 1:09 this af temoon at Hercules station where the California powder works were blown up. Four terrific explosions were heard in succession and the sky in the vicinity is black with smoke. Tele- graph and telephone communications were destroyed by the explosion, and but few details of the disaster have been obtained as yet. All the build ings of the company are on fire and the ground in the vicinity is rent by immense assures. All the property of the California powder works will be a total loss. So far as known at this hour, 1:33, three whites have been killed. There has been other loss of life, but how extensive cannot yet be stated
 Eight Chinese were killed, besides the following white men: James Mc- Nulty, M. Garcia, James Fritz and WS w. Crater. One hundred and ten men were employed in the works, eighty of them being whites. Besides those killed fifteen Chinese were badly in jured. A new nitro-glycenine plant, just constructed at a cost of $5G,000, was entirely destroyed. The explosion started in the nitro-glyce1ine house, and followed down the lead pipe from the glycerine house to the mixing h

CONSTANTHNOPLE, Sept. i. - There is no longer any doubt that the recent massacres were organized by the Turkish authorities, and it has been ascertained that orders were only given to Bashi Basouks to cease massacreing Armenians after the bloody work tad been going on for thirty hours. AL though it may be true that the attack on the Ottoman bank originated with the Armenian revolutionary commis- sion, it is admitted on all sides that the massacres which followed were not justified, and that from 5000 to 4,000 people lost their lives in this city or in the suburbs during the past week.

THE THIRD TERM.
This Fear Said to Stand Against the
 Nomination. of Cleveland

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-More in terest attaches to MT. Cleveland's po- sftion perhaps than to any other feat ure of the National Democratic party convention. By many it is accepted as a fact that the president is in sym pathy with the convention and there is decided feeling that but one thing stands in the way of offering the nom- dnation to the president It is recog- nized that in case this action was taken that there would be a clamor against third term, which might be turned to account. by the silver men and prevent some men from voting the ticket.
