Not a Church Matter.

II is falsely charged that the Nor
mon church controls the politics of
Utah, and that the representative from
Utah was nominated and elected by
Mormon church influence.
The political convention which nomi-
mated the representative from Utah was
the regularly called convention of the
Democratic party. conducted under the
regulations usually governing such
bodies, and in which both Gentiles and
Mormons sat as members. From the
several candidates for the nomina ton
Roberts was chosen on the first ballot,
and no question of the regularity of the
convention or of its proceedings was
ever raised by Democrats, either on
the part of Gentiles or Mormons. and
both classes worked enthusiastically for
his election. The Mormon church had
nothing TO do either for or against the
representatives election. 1t is true he
had Mormon Democratic friends who
worked for his election. but it is also
true that there were Mormon Repub-
licans-and a number of them high in
the councils of the church-who as
earnestly sought by every honorable
means in their power to encompass his
defeat. The representative carried
every nom Mormon stronghold in the
state. and lost many almost exclusive
ly Mormon settlements, because the
of the people in them We're

HARD FIGHTING LOOKED FOR.
Beers Are SwaIming About In the
Vicinity of Estcourt.

London, Nov. 22.-There has appar-
emily been no communication with Est
court since noon Tuesday. and the
Beers control the railroad to the Moot
river. Consequently, momentous de-
velopments may be expected at any
time The Beers, it seems, are swarm
ing southwark. Large bodies are re-
ported all around Estcourt, and parties
appear to be threatening Pietermaritz-
bur.
The Beers encamped at Highlands
Station are well supplied with artil-
lery. and all evidences tend 10 show
that the various Boer forces are being
largely increased by accessions from
the disaffected Cape burghers. The
serious deficiency in cavalry is being
felt by the British, who are unable TO
keep in touch with the mobile Boer
forces, whose presence is hardly re-
ported before they are lost sight of,
only to reappear at any vital point
along the line of communication Cen
eral Hildyard's force anchored at Est
court by the naval guard, cannot make

Reports From Pretoria That Fall Of
Ladysmith Is Predicted

Pretoria. Tuesday, Nov. 21.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received from
the Boer headquarters meas Ladysmith:
THE field comets of the Pretoria
commando reported that British gun
carriages and some horsemen had been
heard moving last night in Ladysmith.
Our outposts observed the British en-
deavoring to sortie towards Lombard's
kopje and Buluwana hill, where our
Maxims opened fire. The range was
too great, and therefore our artillery
began Smelling, which drove the British
back. About daybreak the British bat
teries fired upon our positions. Two
burghers were wounded.
1t is supposed that the object of the
SortfeS was TO relieve the EStcourt force
which had sent an urgent message to
Ladysmith requesting aid. The burgh-
ers captured the messenger, but finally
allowed him to proceed"
1t is reported the Natal police have
captured a number of Transvaal dis
patch riders. In his latest report Cen
eral Joubert SAYS:
II am cutting off the retreat Of the
Estcourt troops to Pietermaritzburg
and driving them back on the Tugela
river
II is also reported that the Boer COM
mander, with the forces near Lady,
smith. has "comprehensively surveyed
the different points from which the fall
of Ladysmith can be insured"

position TO move toward Bavombong
by every road from the south, and with
impenetrable mountains, peopled by
semi savage tribes behind, Bayombong
would be a poor refuge.
1t is reported that General Lawton
is moving northward from Tayug with
infantry to head Oft Aguinaldo. Cen
eral Young has only a troop of cavalry
and the Macabebe. who originally num-
bered 800. Asuinaldo is supposed TO
have two days start from Avangay.
General Young reports that Agui-
naldo, with a party of 200. including
some women and few carts, passed
Arangay, on the coast between san
Fabian and San Fernando in the prov
ince of Union, on Friday, Nov. II. Cen
eral Young, with cavalry and Macca-
bees, is pursuing the Filipino leader,
part of the American force taking the
direction of San Fernando.
In a fight with Aguinaldo's rear
guard at Arangay one Macabbee was
wounded and the insurgents retreated.
Their loss is unknown.

Faith Has Not Been Broken.

1t is falsely charged that the Mormon
church has broken faith with the gov
eminent of the United States in refer
ence to polygamy; that is, ii is charged
that the practice of polySamous mar
riageS has been resumed in the church.
In the first place. it must be remem-
bered that no compact exists between
the Mormon church and the govern
ment of the United States on the sub
ject of polygamy. The only compact
existing on that subject is between the
people of Utah. acting through their
representatives in the state ccnstitu-
tional convention. and the people OF
the United States represented by the
president and congress. To understand
that compact is important, as by rea-
son Of il the whole veXed question of
Mormon polygamy was settled. and by
understanding the nature of that COM
pact the damnable iniquity of the pres
ent agitation appears. In the enabling
act passed by congress authorizing the
people of Utah to form a state govern
ment ii was expressly stipulated that
the constitutional convention should
provide by ordinance irreyocable
without the consent of the United
States and the people of said state
that polygamouS or plural
marriages are forever prohibited" That
was the only demand made upon this
subject by the people of the United
States. Congress could be induced to
go no further. though an effort was
made to have ii Go so. When in the
constitutional convention the repre-
sentatives of the people of Utah dealt
with this requirement they adopted the
very language of the enabling act. In
addition to this the convention also
adopted so much of a former territorial
law as defined and provided for the |
punishment Of polygamous marriages. |
and declared il to be in force in the |
state of Utah. This territorial law eX-
actly paralleled The enaotments of con-
Kress on the same subject. II defined |
polygamy in the same terms as the con- |
eressional enactments did, and pro-
vided the same penalties. 1t also de- |
fined unlawful cohabitation in the |
same terms as the acts of congress. |
This offense is continuous living in |
relations after the illegal |
marriage relations have been formed. |
and in both the congressional and ter
ritorfal legislation was made a misde-
meanor. whereas polygamy was a fell |
ony. This law, / repeat. the convention
cut in two, and made the part punish
ing polygamous marrying part of the I
while the part of the law
defining and Furnishing continuous liv-
ing in polygamous relations was dis
caried. Why? Because there was |
nothing in the enabling act that de-
rnanded the disruption of those exist
ing marriage relations which had been
entered into under the sanction of the
Mormon church. It only required that |
or plural marriages.
should be prohibited for the future.

| London, Nov. 23-Although it is evil
dent that the situation in Natal is
again becoming sufficiently alarming,
allay public anxiety or the curiosity felt
regarding the disposition of the rein
forcements recently landed at Durham.
The war office dispatches are confined
to mere recital of few casualties az
Moot river, which confirm the reports
of skirmishes there, but give no details
as 10 how the engagements happened.
The special correspondents are only
permitted to describe Major General
Barton's camp at MOOT river vaguely
as large" or ample" One correspond
ent says that 1900 Beers are within
twenty-five miles of Howick Falls, near
Pfetermaritzburg, and that the inhab-
itants are fleeing to the capital.
Evidently a considerable force of the
enemy is now within thirty or forty
miles of PietermaritZburg, but it is
officially announced from there that no
anxiety prevails, the garrison number
ing 1000 men with six guns.
General Joubert's plan, apparently, is
a daring attempt to defeat the British
relieving column from Durham in de-
tail, while still attempting the reduc,
ton of Ladysmith. A serious attack on
Mooi river camp is now hourly expect
ed with the object of destroying the
bridge at Wester. Should this be ac-
complished the Beers would be free 70
turn their attention again to Est
court, while if it failed the enemy would
retire again on Weenen and rejoin the
investing forces around Ladysmith-
Messenger Is Captured.
The Boer report that General Hid
yards messenger asking General White
for assistance was captured causes some
uneasiness, but it is argued that if
General Hildyard had not been strong
enough to hold out he would some time
ago have been ordered to retire TO Pie
termaritzburg. Therefore, small ere
dence is given the story.
Nothing is known regarding the food
supplies of the garrisons thus isolated.
1t is believed that Estcourt is well pro-
vided, but there is less confidence in the
case of Moot river
There is no further news from tbs
western frontier, except the list of cas-
ualties. showing that one trooper was
killed and nine were wounded at Kim
berley on Nov. Is, and confirming the
accounts of the sortie previously re-
ported from Boers sources.
1t was announced from Paris that
Colonel Vile de Boise Mareuit, French
officer, has accepted the post of chief
of staff to General Jou5ert in success
sion to Colonel Schiel. the German Off
Ger who was wounded and taken priss-
oner at Elandslaagte. From the same
source it is reported that the Russian
officers, Lieutenant Colonel Gonetzki of
the guards and General ZeetZ of another |
crack Russian regiment, have resigned |
and are going to join the Beers.

TO HELP THE Beers.
Independent Red Cross Society Form
ed In This Country.

New York, Nov. pa committee
with John V. L. Pruyn of Albany as
chairman was organized in this city
to assist Red Cross work in the South
African republics, especially within the
Boer lines. The committee is in no
way allied with the American Red
Cross society.
The organization was brought about
on the suggestion of an EngliShman,
who made known the poor facilities OF
the Beers for caring for their sick and
wounded and dead. If sufficient funds
are sent to the committee, the families
of the Boer dead and wounded will be
assisted. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee to send ali the money to The
Netherlands Red Cross, which is in the
field. and needs all the assistance it
can get

To Head Off Aguinaldo.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The next move
of importance is to be made by Gen
eral Wheaton. who will go up the coast
by transport to Vigan. at he mouth of
the Abo. This will land his forces far
to the north of where Aguinaldo is sup
posed to be. the intention being TO cut
off his retreat to the north.
From the military information bu-
reau it is learned that east of the route
Aguinaldo is taking are mountains In
habited by natives who are not friendly
to Aguinaldo, and will be likely to at
tack him if he attempts to cross their
territory The country along the coast
is quite well settled. There are several
little rivers making harbors from which
it is feared Aguinaldo may escape by

watching these small ports with part
