Washington, May 31.-Secretary Gage

natl, where he was a guest at the 1an-
Quet given last Friday by the Connie
cial Club of that city TO the ,iaitlng

Louis Mr.. Gage said to-day That a
feeling of Impotence seemed to be gen
eral among the people at the delay in
the passage Of d tariff bill. The bust
ness OF the country was in condition
approaching staSnatiOn, and also the
public realize that the greatest care
is necessary in the construction o. d
bill Of such vast importance, the PCo-
pie were beginning to complain CT the
time being consumed. What they
most wanted was the prompt passage
of q tariff bill that would produce sutii-
cient revenues, and with that question
out OF the way the government could
take up the question of reform in the
currency The business men in at
tendance on the Cincinnati meeting,
Mr.. Gage thought. were agreed that a
currency commission should be author
lied and appointed at once with & view
TO their formulating plan which
could be presented to Congress on its
reassembling in December. During
the recess of Congress it was thought
that hearings could and should be given
by the commission to fnauclcrs and

douse with One Door i'm Mexico, the Other
in Arizona.
Washington, Nov. 16.-A curious
case of smuggling on the Mexican
border line has been discovered
recently by the government officials at
Nogales, Arizona, and equally curious
action has been taken to suppress it.
On May 6, last, land about Nogales
was declared subject to entry, and
among those who took advantage of
the right was a man who made town
site selection directly on the interna-
tional border line and Immediately
erected large house thereon, with
doors on both Sides BY this means,
according to official reports, the laws
would be evaded by backing up wagons
aden with Mexican goods to the rear
door of the house, which did not re-
luire crossing the line. The goods
we're then taken out of the door on
The case was reported by the collector
Of customs, and he asked that no
townsite be allowed unless there was
a street set apart along the border to
prevent this evasion.
The general land office has acted on
this proposition, and the president
has made reservation of a strip of
land sixty feet wide and two miles
long, at Nogales, which, it is expected,
will secure this government its customs
dues. The necessary surveys for the
purpose are being made.

WAR AGAINST THE SHELTERS.
Mine Owners of the West Will Organize ia
Protect Their IntaE-sts.

| Mine Owners of the West Will Organize tt
Protect Their Intaa,sts.
Leadville, Colo, Nov. 1s.. Great in
terest is manifested here in the re-
ported formation of smelter trust to
regulate the price of smelling ores,
etc. One OF the largest mine manag-
ers of the district said:
"The object of this smelter meeting
is known to the mine owners and
mine managers and, as result, there
is prospect of bitter fight, with the
smelters arrayed on one side and the
mine managers and owners on the
other.
This fight was virtually started
last Wednesday night, at a meeting of
mine owners and mine managers of
the camp. They thoroughly discussed
the question and decided to organize
an association to protect their own
interests against the smelters.
SIN order to show what the smelters
intended to do, one of the mine man
ayers stated that he had been request
ed by a smelter to enter into a con-
tract for the sale of his ore before the
trust went into effect.
cat this meeting in Leadville, we
decided that circular should be got
ten up, to be sent to all the mine own
ers of the west. This circular sets
forth the object of the association, and
also calls for suggestions as to the
time for holding a meeting of all the
mine owners.
"The mine managers insist that in
stead of allowing the smelters to regu-
late the price, that they ought to do
it themselves. They also object to the
shelters getting the benefit of the low
rates and the rebates from the rail-
roads, which, it is claimed, they are
now receiving.
"There is certainly bitter fight in
sight"

He said that the American people

1.-The position taken by many that
polygamy is dead is untrue. 1t is still
practiced by many prominent people
in the church, and is generally ac-
copied by the Mormon people as true
doctrine. President Partridge con-
cedes it to be his belief that God is a
polygamous being, loving female
companion and that Christ was also
a polygamist The polygamous prin-
ciple' enters into the very warp and
wool of his religious convictions. I'm
questionably, all the older Mormon
leaders share these convictions with
Alhii Vic ISSulb VI bhS Gil pHdJlC anu
incessant teachings of the last fifty
years. and it is very curious ques-
ton whether with such men polygamy
ever can be dead.
THAT the Mormon church is stead,
lily seeking to re-establish its power is
evident from many facts. 1t was
charged and apparently proved at the
close of recent session of the legisla-
ture that a committee of the church
had been appointed to supervise pro-
posed laws in the interest of the
church, and the secret influence over
its members in the legislature pre-
vented the passage of such laws as
would be obnoxious, and that proposed
laws were defeated by their interest.

of God, instructed Mormons to vote as

ASPEN MINE FIRE.
Feeling Very Gloomy as 1t is Believed
Long Shutdown VIII Result.

L
| Aspen. Colo, Nov. 16-The owners of
the Smuggler mine, which has been on
fire since Sunday morning, announce
that the situation is much improved,
lnasmuch as they have succeeded in
carrying lines of steam pipes to within
a short distance of the fire, and hope
in few hours more to be playing up
On it. Outsiders, however, take diff
ferent view of the situation. 1t is the
general belief that it is not the wooden
crib which is on fire, but the shale
footwall itself, which is said to be
very low grade of coal. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the gas
which is driving the men from the
workings on Smuggler mountain is
more like that from burning coal than
wood. If this theory is correct, moth
ing but the flooding of the mine will
stop the fire.
Already the gas has permeated thu
workings in the various mines on
Smuggler mountain for two miles to
the north of the Smuggler shaft, and
500 men have been driven out and two
or three times that number will have
to quit work if the fire is not quenched.
The gas is gradually going lower, hav-
ing now reached the seventh level. If
II drives the men from the pumps in
the ninth level, it will mean the flood
ing of the district, as the Smuggler
pumps are the principal ones in the
district
The feeling here is very gloomy, as
It is believed a long shutdown of the
principal mines of the camp is certain
