M0RM0NS At WAR
AMONG THEMSEL YES

SALT LAKE, Feb. "a large and
enthusiastic audience greeted Senator
f. j. Cannon at the Salt Lake Theater
tonight when he came on the stage to
deliver his lecture on Senatorial Can
didates and Pharisees." A special
train from Ogden brought down a
large number of the personal friends
of the Senator.
The Senator referred to the recent
attack upon him by the Womens Re
publican Club of Utah, and made that
the basis for a discussion of the living
questions now pending in the State.
He then took up the whole subject of
the trend of politics in Utah, and set
the line sharply between the progress
sives and the reactionaries of the Nor
mon church. He pointed out that Utah
came to the nation as a Hagar out of
a wilderness, with her empty water jar
and her dying child, and that the ma
tion opened it's arms to her and took her
into its friendship and under its au-
thority, in return for which the ma
tion is entitled to receive from her such
devotion as was never given by any
other State; that she cannot repay the
nation except by holding to the highest
ideals, and that for these John Hendy
Smith and Heber j. Grant, apostles Of
the Mormon church, have substituted
the lowest.
He made touching reference to his
mother, whose faith and holiness had
always kept him in the church. He
said that when he faltered at the re-
sponsibility which now confronted him
of seeking to have Utah spared the
possibility of the awful shame of a
Senatorship bought and sold he had
been impelled by the remembrance Of
what his mother said and did in the
last Senatorial fight when his father
was a candidate against him. She
came to- him then and said; II don't
want to be Senator's wife. l only
want to be a Senator's mother" With
such courage standing behind him, with
a mother brave enough to discriminate
between father and son, he felt that
he would be recreant to all his ante

NEW DISCOVERIES
MADE AT ATLIN

JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. (via Port
Townsend, Feb. 9).-Parties who ar
rived from Atlin this morning report
that on the 2Sth Of January when they
left Atlin there was nothing known
there of the passage of the alien act.
New discoveries and records were be-
ing made every day. Aliens were still
in the swim The weather was very
mild. Food and whisky were getting
scarce, and very few were getting
through to Atlin on account of the fan
tail trail being impossible for loaded
sleds Lake Bennett was not frozen
sufficiently to make travelling safe. The
pioneers of this country who are ac-
quainted with the different routes to
the interior say in their opinion that
the Takou River route is without doubt
the most reliable and safest winter
route to the Atlin district.
A great many people who have tried
the different routes are returning to
Juneau and going up the Takou. which
is frozen solid and we'll timbered all
along the entire trail from Salt Lake

SKAGUAY, Alaska, Feb. (via Seat
tie, Feb. 9).-There are warm times at
Skaguay now, and they are getting
hotter each passing day. Sunday was
a day of excitement The most cheer
full news to a lot of dry men in a cold
climate was that the whisky famine in
Atlin and Dawson, which became i'm
minent after the arrest of the Ameri
can conveys, has been ayerted. After
thinking over the ultimatum the Can
adian officials at White Pass. Log
Cabin and Bennett, concluded that they
wouldn't arrest any more conveys if
such action carried with it the exclu
sion of whisky. So now the grave in
ternational complications that threat
ened are thing that might have been,
and whisky is the password to peace.
Horsemen dashed through the town
yesterday afternoon in regular Rough
Rider style. There was trouble UP at
the toll gate. The toll gate up on the
Bracket wagon road at what is known
as Camp has been a bone of conten
ton for several weeks. The packers
claim that the trail beyond that point
and this side of White Pass was made
not by Bracket, but by the original
packers on the trail, and that Bracket
has no right to charge toll over it.
A crowd of about fifty packers, all
mounted on sprightly steeds. suddenly
appeared at the toll gate yesterday
afternoon. They demanded to go
through without paying. The gate
keeper refused. Axes were produced
and the packers, led by J. H. Brooks
and Burt Johnson, chopped down the
toll gate. They carried away the pieces
and dumped them down the ravine into
the river. Then Mr.. Brooks brought to
light large bottle which he had con-
cealed somewhere. and so far as it went
around the perdition of the toll gate
was drunk and toasted. Feeling very
jolly the whole crowd rode into town
and dashed down the principal street
with their horses fiecked with foam.
The wagon road company made COM
plant and the whole crowd was ar
rested. The rough riders permitted
themselves to be arrested in a graceful
manner by deputy United States mar
shall, for whom they gave three cheers
before they rode away on their personal
recognizance as well as their horses.

He was taken to ST. Luke's Hospital
where he fingered till this morning,
though always expressing the wish to
die.
Mrs. Lavrenius attended him at the
hospital until his death, which she took
with seeming composure. Tonight,
after her little son was asleep in his
bed. she shot him through the head and
then turned the weapon upon herself.
Rhodes was a Kentuckian, belonging
to one of the best famili 5 in that State.
Mrs. Lavrenius was beautiful wo-
man, 80 years old and highly accom-
plished. She was Nihilist, and with
her husband was several years ago SEN
fenced to life imprisonment in Siberia.
Five or six years ago they were par
doned by the Car and came to this
country, locating first in Chicago, but
four years ago coming to Denver,
where Lavrenius became a student at
the Denver Medical College. Two and
a half years ago he died of Bright's
disease. They are said to have be-
longed to a wealthy family and have
always received liberal ren1ittances
from Russia.
1t is believed by some of Rhodes
friends that his suicide and that of the
woman were the result of Nihilistic
ideas, with which the latter is said to
have imbued the young attorney.

DENVER, Feb. 9.-Henry P. Rhodes,
a prominent young attorney of this city,
who for eight years prior to 1897 was
Deputy District Attorney here, died at
ST. Lukes Hospital this morning as the
result of wounds inflicted by himself
last Tuesday afternoon. At 10 O'Clock
tonight Mrs. Olga Lavrenius, a young
Russian widow, understood to have
been Rhodes f1ancee, shot and instantly
killed her 10-year- old son and then sent
a bullet through her own brain.
The tragedies of Tuesday and to-
night both occurred at the Arno, atfash-
ionable hotel where Rhodes and Mrs.
Lavrenius both boarded for several
months.

good prospects and very popular. Tues
day afternoon he was found in his
room by his friend, John S. Mosby Jr.,
son of the Confederate colonel, rapidly
sinking from loss of blood, caused by a
deep cash in each arm and each leg.

WEALTHY NEW YORKER
is BURIED ALIVE
Shocking Discovery Made When the
Grave Is Opened to Hold
an Autopsy.

TONAWANDA, N. Y, Feb. "a
shocking discovery was made at the
cemetery two miles north of Pendleton
at II o'clock this morning when the
body of James Rigley was exhumed for
the purpose of holding an autopsy to
discover the cause of his death. The
glass covering the casket was broken
and the distorted features of the
corpse, the position of his hands and
feet, together with number of blood
spots on his face, showed that he was
buried alive.
Mr.. Rigley was undoubtedly inferred
while in a trance, it is contended by
physicians who viewed the body this
afternoon. On Wednesday of last week,
after a short illness, he apparently
died, and DIR. Monterey, the family
physician declared he was dead.
A few years ago Mr.. Rigley took out
several insurance policies on his life,
and it was partly for this reason that
1t was decided to hold an autopsy to
ascertain beyond doubt the exact cause
of death. But for this the discovery of
the terrible mistake that had been
made would never have become known
Mr.. Rigley was a prominent man in
this vicinity and was thought to have
been wealthy. He is survived by a
widow and four sons. The discovery
that he had been buried alive has
greatly shocked his friends.

PARIS, Feb. "A score of Deputies,
including NM. Brisson, Bourgeois, Bar
thou, Sarrien, Poincare, Pelletan and
Millerand, have addressed an open let
ter to the Government declaring their
intention to uphold the supreme prin-
ciples of justice as above all attacks.
The manifesto asserts that there is no
necessity to deprive the criminal cham
ber of the Court of Cessation of the
right of rendering judgment in the
Dreyfus case.
M. Lebret, Minister of Justice, has
testified. say these distinguished mem
bers of the Chamber, ito the honesty
of the judges, and if the court is dis
qualified it will mean the triumph Of
calumny. The honesty of the whole
Court of Cessation will in turn be ques-
toned and the highest jurisdiction of
the country will thus be placed by the
executive power at the mercy of defa-
nation"
In concluding the manifesto its sign
ers say The law proposed by the
Government is not law of appease-
ment but a law of civil discord, threat
ening the liberty, honor and security of
the citizen at juncture when the
union of all republicans is required to
defeat combination of clerical reac-
tion and Caesarian demagogy pre-
pairing for a third assault upon the re-
public"
This step indicates the growing op-
position to the revision bill, which.
even if it survives in the Chamber of
Deputies, is almost certain to be re-
jected by the Senate, largely recruited
from the magistrature and strongly op-
posed to such changes of procedure as
the bill contemplateS.
The publication of the text of the
revision committees voluminous report
and the Mazeau dossier serves to en-
phasize the hollowness, not to use a.
harsher word. of the charges of Ques-
nay de Beaurepaire against the crimi-
nal chambers. 1t is difficult to believe
that a man who was president of a sec
ton of the court could have brought
such reckless accusations against the
Judges of another section, and it is
still more difficult to explain how the
Government could have been induced
by such trivial charges to- Introduce the
revision bill, unless it was riding for a
fall.

Railroad For LuZOn.

Chicago, Sept. ESPECIAL correspond
ence TO the Tribune from Manila, under
date of August /, says: Agents for
company of Spanish capitalists, some of
whom live in Manila, announce that ar
rangements have been completed for the
building of a modern railroad line in
Luzon that will connect Manila with all
the important towns along the west
coast Of the island as far north as Laoag.
The route is kept secret, but it is under
stood that it will be the same as pro-
posed in 1875, when the scheme for gov
ernment railroads in the Philippines was
officially projected. Three lines We're
planned at that time, only one of which
was completed, the present railroad,
which runs from Manila to Dagupan, a
distance of 151 miles,
The company is keeping its movements
secret to prevent the TWO or three COM
panies that are said to be organizing in
the United States for the purpose of
building railroads in LuZon from anticl-
pating it in securing the same route. The
Americans who have talked railroads
here generally believe that a new town
and port will be established either on
the north coast of LuZon or the northern
part of the west coast of the islands as
a terminus of the road. This would save
250 miles in sailing to Manila for ships
from the United States or from Hong
Kong, and. with rapid COMMUNICATE ton to
Manila through the richest provinces Of
the island. would be reasonably certain
to grow RAPIDLY.
