Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct 30.-It has
been asserted many times since the
inauguration of the fight against the
seating in congress of the avowed po-
lygamist Roberts that the Mormons as
q body had no sympathy with polyga-
mists and were endeavoring to keep the
pledge made to the nation when Titan
was admitted to statehood.
In nearly every statement MADE py
the church leaders. and especially by
President Snow this assertion has been
made, but a remarkable piece of evil
dence has just been obtained which
proves beyond dispute that the great
mass of the Mormons still believe IN
polygamy and are pledged by every
meals in their power to support ana
aid the persons who have recently been
convicted of polygamy
1t is now known that the fine or An
gus M. Cannon was paid by suDscflp-
ton among the Mormons.
Cannon is president of the salt Lake
Stake of the Mormon church, ana was
fined 500 on his plea of unlawful Nv
ing with State Senator Martha HuGhes
Cannon.
Although Cannon is rich man, ms
Mormon friends would not permit him
to pay his fine.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Admiral Dewey
announced to some of his more intimate
friends tonight the fact of his engage
ment to Mrs. w. B. Hazen of this city.
Mrs. Hazen is the widow of Gen. Ha-
zen, formerly chief signal officer of the
army, who died about ten years ago,
and is a sister of John r. Mclean,
democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio.
Mrs. Hazen has no children, and since
her husbands death has made her
home with her mother. She is a woman
of large means, about 40 years of age,
and popular in the best social circles
of Washington, The date for the we'd
ding has not been fixed. While the
news of Admiral Dewey's surrender to
Cupid will come as a surprise to the
world at large, those who have mixed
in Washington society in recent years
are not greatly astonished. Although
Dewey has been set down as a man
who shuns the society of women, pre-
ferring his quiet corner in the Metro
politan club to the most brilliant ball
room, 1t is We'll known fact there are
a few houses in Washington where he
never failed to put in an appearance
when invited Among these was the
Mclean mansion.
Just what the attraction was that
caused so many visits to that house on
the part of Commodore Dewey, head of
the bureau of equipment and supplies,
during his long service in Washington
previous to- the war, was a complete
mystery to all except a few friends,
and they kept the secret well until to-
night, when they were released from
secrecy by Admiral Dewey himself.
Dewey's intimacy with John r. Nc
Lean and the other members Of the
family and his frequent visits was due
to the fact that at their home he met
the handsome Mrs w. B. Hazen.
The rews of the admirafs engage
ment first became known tonight, when
the admiral announced the fact to a few
of his Iiriends. Later he visited the
Lafayette Square theater, and while
there communicated the news to some
of his near friends and to Secretary
Long, who occupied one of the boxes.
The understanding is that the wedding
will take place some time during No
vember.
It was at the house of Mrs. Mclean,
the mother of Mrs. Hazen, that the adj

Negotiations for the Purchase Of
Detroit Street Railways Over.

Detroit is not to have municipal
ownership of street railways i'm
mediately. At least the existing
railroads are not to be placed under
municipal operation now or for
some years to come, the way things
look at present.
The deal between Tom L. Johnson
as selling agent and the Detroit
Street Railway commission as pur-
chasing agent for the city is at an
end The two parties cannot get
together on either of two PROPOSE
tions which have been the most re-
cent made. On the one proposition
there is difference of price amount
ing to $l,900,000. On the other
proposition the two parties were
widely separated on the question OF
the provisions of a security fran
chise. The question of price proved
the rock on which the deal went in
the air, and the commissioners have,
with the possible exception OF Gov.
Pingree, given up all hope OF &C.
complishing municipal ownership
at the present time.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

1t looks as if Detroit would give the
country its first important demonstra-
ton of a municipal ownership of street
railways. Gov. Pingree of Michigan
has been appointed by the common
council one of the three commissioners
authorized under the Mcleod bill, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt
that the purchase of the various prop
critics will be accomplished. Whether
the railways can be operated profttably
with three cent fares, as Gov. Pingree
so enthusiastically asserts, remains TO
be seen.
The origin of the Mcleod bill is worth
noting. Tom L. johnson, the former
Ohio congressman, and r. T. Wilson
of New York, having get control Of
the Detroit railways, went to the leg
islature for a blanket franchise cover
ing all their properties. hut were met
with what they believed to be inad-
MISSILE conditions, These were three
cent fares, interchangeable transfers
and short term franchises. Here was
dilemma. Mr.. Johnson could hope
for no concession from the Legislature,
but he bethought himself that this was
favorable moment to exploit his hob
by of municipal ownership, and Incl
dentally secure payment Of sundry
bonds locked up in MI Wilson's safe.
Accordingly the Mcleod bill was draft
ed, under the supervision of himself,
Wilson. Pingree and E. G. Stevenson
who is also one of the commissioners
just appointed. The terms Of the sale
were virtually agreed upon about the
same time that the bill was drawn, ana
the city is to take possession of the
railways in six months or earlier, if
may be. The price is supposed to be
between S70OQ,GOO and $10,OO0O00.
The heavy responsibility resting upon
the commissioners Is obvious. Each
must give bonds in the-.um OF S25O,0O0
and jointly they are responsible for the
operation and financing Of the various
lines. No debts can be contracted by
them that are not directly charSeablc
to the railways, and all liability for
damages or legal suits lie against the
commissioners and the property they
control Sc far as could be foreseen,
it was designed to tie up the commits
sioners and their property against the
possibility of Encouragement or
fraud. The experiment will be watched
with keen interest, not only for the
financial but the political results. The
intention apparently was to shield the
management from political influence,
for no alderman can be appointed a
commissioner; but skeptics will watch
for the signs of new political ma
chine developing out of the municipal

MARCH As AN AVERAGE.

The unexpectedly favorable financial
showing Of the government for the
month of March has inspired certain
treasury officials with optimistic hopes,
il the dispatches sent out by Washing
ton correspondents are TO be believed.
1t is noted that receipts from all ordi-
nary sources have been at the rate of
$1,50O0OO a day which, if continued,
would give annual collections of S547, -
600 900, and a handsome surplus for the
year. The significance Of the hypothe-
sis upon which these speculations are
based depends upon whether or not
March receipts may be fairly accepted
as an average for the entire twelve
months.
A glance at treasury statistics for
several years back shows that March
has been rather better than the aver
age of the months as a revenue pro-
Queer, especially in respect to tariff
collections. and it was in these that the
chief gains have just been made. In
one or two instances, March receipts
have been far above the average of the
year, and this fact is rather disturb
ing to calculations. Judging from
past experience, the average receipts
for the year should be somewhat less
than the March record, and yet there
is no assurance that March will not
prove to be one Of the top-notch months
Of the year. and the receipts very far
in excess of the average.
Some light should be thrown upon
the question by April results, for the
collections of the current month do not
ordinarily fall far below the March
record. save in the exceptional years
already noted. If April collections are
maintained at a high rate, there will
be more reason than there now is to
believe that the past month is fair
measure for the annual revenue. The
outlook is hopeful and even encourag-
ing but an exaggerated conception of
treasury conditions is apt to have a
stimulating effect upon the extrava-
CANT proclivities both of congress and
the people, and it is well to know that
We are not yet surely out of the woods,
but rather that there is still need of
caution and economy.

best melodrama they ever saw" How
ever that may be, it is certainly
strong and thrilling play, with interest
that rapidly grows after the flrst eli
max to become almost feverish at the
close. In its conception and coloring
the piece recalls THE Stragglers Of
Paris" a sensational play that had a
tremendous vogue a dozen years ago;
yet the scenes and Incidents of the
present work are generally fresh anc
original. There is a great deal Of gen
timely funny comedy mixed in with
the heavy sensationalism of the piece,
most Of it made by the very pretty SOU
brette, her father and lover, though
not a little arises from the more Sc
rious characters
The hero differs from the generality
Of his class by not being - good young
man at ALI quite the contrary. He
murders and robs right and left, his
claims to the sympathies of the audi
ence being his ardent love for his blind
wife, his courage and his wonderful
physical strength. There Is a sub-hero,
who Is really good, and who also
"biffs" the other characters at wiz.
The sporting element in the crowd
lOnged for a match between the two IN
the last act to decide the championship
OF the cast, Dut II QlQnE come.
Robert Gaillard flTls the part of the
dare devil hero very well. He has the
robust physique necessary and rises to
the OCCASION excellently when dramatic
power and fervor are needed. Charles
M. Lane has the thankless role of a
most cowardly and treacherous william,
and played it SO well as to extract loud
and vigorous Kisses from the gallery.
Walter Horton was good in the juven-
lie role, and Lucille Walker gave a
strong character sketch Of the repul
slve old woman always drawn in
French nelodramas.
A soubrette Is always supposed to be
pretty and vivacious, but few of them
combine those characteristics so per-
fectly as does Miss Eva Westcott, the
Clarisse OF the cast. She makes a very
alluring picture, and Joseph Daley,
whose part enables him to pay vigorous
and successful court to her, was envied
by every man in the audience. Mr.
Daley and Frank Allen. as a stern pa
rent, shared with Miss Westcott the
comedy honors of the evening.
Miss Caroline Cooke played the blind
wife with sweetness and dignity and
the oppressed orphan was in the capa-
bic hands Of Miss Lisson. The scenery
is entirely the property of the company
and is one Of the most elaborate out
fits seen at this house this season.
The lively farce comedy, "A rag-time
reception" with q well known group OF
fun makers will amuse the patrons Of
this house next week
