IMPOSE ON THE GOVERNOR.
Reports of Trouble In Kentucky Elk
aggerated By Correspondents.

Frankfort, KY. July Slater dis.
patches from London, Laurel county
to Governor Bradley, state that the re-
ports concerning the Clay county trou~
BILE have been greatly exaggerated by
taking correspondents and others at
that point and on the strength of later
information the governor has counter
manded the orders to the state troops
which We're in readiness to leave for
the seat of trouble.
Judge Robert Boyd, Editor y. r.
Dyche and r. NJ. Jackson of London,
made a personal investigation of the
rumors sent out from Manchester and
they telegraphed the governor that
James Stubblefield, a deputy sheriff,
had been shot by persons who have
been discontinued from the Baker
White feud. This fraud mas been work
ed off on Governor Bradley for a second
time and entails an expense of several
thousand dollars on the state, on ac-
count of calling out of troops.

IS THE AMERICAN SCHEME.
Mediation Plan at The Hague, Ours
With a Few ElaborationS.

Washington, July S.-The state de-
partment is relying upon the press re-
ports up to this moment for the details
of The Hague conference. Consequent
ly, it is not in possession as yet of any
official statement of the mediation and
arbitration plan. which is the promi-
nent measure now before the confer
ence.
Accepting the press reports as accu-
rate it may be stated that the project
is eminently satisfactory to our gov
eminent, for it is pointed out the arbi-
tration scheme is nothing more than an
elaboration of the simple American
proposition with which c~ir delegates
were charged before they left the Unit
ed States.
1t is understood the pending PROPOSE
tion is credited to Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, but that was because he had skill
fully and with great ability elaborated
the details of the American principle
to meet the objection of European dele
gates.

WILL GO TO PORTLAND.
Oregon Troops Are to Be Mustered
Out at Home

San Francisco, July S.-General ]. b.
Babcock, adjutant general of the de-
partment of California, has received
word that the Oregon volunteers will
be mustered out in Oregon, according
to the original plan. The transports
will enter this port, however, and may
be delayed for some time, according
to the necessities for coaling and fresh
supplies. The troops will not be I'M
loaded from the transport.
This is a disappoin tment TO many of
the citizens who had hoped to honor
and glorify the returning volunteers.
They will proceed north by water,
probably on the same transports, al
though this latter point has not been
definitely decided upon as yet.

WANT AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
Disposition of the Filipino Natives
South of Luzon.

Washington, July S.-Dispatches
have just been received at the war de-
partment from President Schurman of
the Philippine commission, giving some
account of his journey to the southern

the conditions in those islands extreme
ly gratifying.
There is a disposition almost every
where south of LuZon to accept Ameri-
can sovereignty. President Schurman
expects to arrive at San Francisco

United States government and in that
way has Slapped the strength of the
instruction.

Who Owen Is.
Charles NJ. Owen. the author of the
affidavit, is a. Welshman, the younger
son of a wealthy father. who, it is al
legged, cut him off without a shilling
He came TO Utah several years ago,
and for time practiced his profession,
that of civil engineer, but has recently
been engaged in working up anti-Mor-
mon sensations Cor the New York
Journal. 1t is also reported that he
has been assisting the local anti-Mor-
mon newspaper in collecting storm
starting material. and that he supplied
st with the alleged data upon which
it based its libelous charge that ma
ioritY of the prominent citizens of
Spanish Fork We're guilty of unlawful
cohabitation. He is regarded by many
as somewhat erratic and an anti-MOr-
mon fanatic
The story concerning the prosecution
of Angus NJ. Cannon was wired by
Owen to the New York Journal twenty
the county attorney with his affidavit,
and was also given in advance to the
local anti-Mormon paper The facts in
the case seem to indicate that he is
acting in his capacity of a purveyor
of sensations to yellow journalism,
rather than as a citizen desiring an en-
forcement of the law.
A Possible Motive.
Angus NJ. Cannon's arrest, it is charg-
ed. il but another feature of the New
York Journals undertaking to GUST
Congressman Roberts and regulate So
cial conditions in Utah. II is under
stood that a number of other cases
have been worked up by Owens at the
yellow journals expense. The arrests
will ~ made. it is understood. from
time 10 time. each being telegraphed in
advance to Crusader Hearst. the owner
of the Journal. and thus Will be slaked
sensational journalisms burning thirst
for scoops. One observer yesterday also
noted a somewhat close connection be-
tween this programme and Colonel Lam
mans anti-Mormon newspaper and all
Gentle political party.
1t is understood to be the Hearst pro-
gTamrle to defer the arrest of Con-
gresham Roberts until just prior to
the meeting of congress. in order that
the case may be pending against him
when the question of his eligibility
comes up for consideration. Among the
prosecutions, it as said. will be one for
the offense of polygamy.

OWENS Statement.
This case simply means that l have
take up the defiance of the Deseret
News and church leaders who maintain
that polygamy is a thing of the past
said Mr.. owen. There is no one be-
hind me in this prosecution, no one at
all. The case is not instigated by any
newspaper nor any organization OPP
posed to Mr.. Roberts or polygamy. 1
alone am responsible for it. l am not
working with any of the ministers of
Salt Lake.
But the Deseret News has said. that
there is no such thing as polygamy,
and President Snow delivered an ad-
dress some weeks ago, in which he
said that polygamy was forbidden. l
am going to show that it is not for
hidden. and l have plenty of proof to
show that Mrs. Hughes-Cannon is
plural wife of President Cannon. Why
the matter is of common knowledge. L
will not at this time say whether or
not l shall commence other prosecu-
tions, nor will tell the direct evidence
which 1 have in this case. A child
was born to Mrs. Hughes-Cannon and
the matter is of record with the board
of health. President Angus NJ. Cannon
is given as its father, but I have more
evidence of the pOlygamous relations
sustained; l am not dependent upon
this record alone. We have laws
against polygamy and they ought to be
enforced"
Exhibited the Baby.
Mrs Hughes Cannon. when seen last
night. declared that she had absolutely
nothing to say about the arrest of her
husband.
Il do not know what will be done, and
/ cannot say anything except that 1
hope the matter will now be settled for
all time"
Although refusing to talk of the
trouble that has overtaken her, she de-
lightedly exhibited the 10 weeks old
baby, which, as she says. has raised
all the rumpus." And the mother, as
she dangled the small bundle, insisted
that she must not worry over the re-
suit of the new fight. because she had
to get strong and we'll to take her baby
