MORMON POLYGAMY.

The trial of Angus Cannon, the
Mormon leader, in Salt Lake, on
the charge of polygamy, was very
much of a farce. He was fined 500
for violating the law, since he was
admittedly living with a number OF
wives, but this was in effect a tri,
fling with law. He continues to
disregard the law and he and the
other Mormon leaders seem to have
an audacious confidence that they
can successfully defy law and NOR
al sentiment Of the country. The
st. Paul Press, referring to the ju.
dicial farce in Utah, says:
The Cannon trial was but sham
fight, waged on man ready tC
stand for the purpose. lt was
brought merely that the Mormon
Church may be able to make q
show, when the fight against its
most dangerous tenet shall come on
again, that it has made effort to
prosecute and punish the practice
of polygamy. The Mormons hay
it must be admitted, legal advan-
tage in this matter. They can
plead guilty over and over again t.
such charges as that to which Can
non pleaded guilty and still there
will be no means of inflicting the
penalty that their practices de
serve. So long as their plural mar
riages are performed secretly theil
offenses can only be punished I'm
der another name, and there is NJ
reaching them through ordinary
legal methods. This makes it the
more important that where they
come in contact, as they DC
through their statehood, with the
rest of the country. they be made t,
pay for what they refuse actually
to renounce. The only way Il
reach this evil is to unseat, b,
sheer force or moral sentiment, ev
cry Congressman and Senator from
Utah who is known to be a polyga
mist III practice. We believe tina
their impudence cannot SUI vive in
definitely under this treatment.

a ma
Mr.. Chandler asked in the Senate to.
day that an agreement be made to take
the vote on the various resolutions
pending that relate to the Philippines.
He suggested that they all be taken up
at 3 D. m. on Monday and that they be
disposed of before the adjournment
that day. MIR. Cullom hoped that
these matters could be deferred for a
few days. He insisted that the appro'
priation bills ought to be first disposed
of.
Mr.. Chandler said the public bust
ness would not be expedited by side.
tracking these declarations in the in
terest of the appropriation bills. At
this juncture Mr.. Allen asked that a
vote be taken on his resolution reaffirn-
ing the Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Allison remarked that he would
be 10 favor of voting upon this PROPOSE
ton at once and without debate.
Mr.. Stewart desired to know the
reasons for reafirming at this time the
Declaration of Independence. 1t would
take several days to explain.
Mr.. Mason insisted that the reaffirma.
ton of the Declaration of Independence
was for the purpose of telling the Fill
pinos that while we are killing them
@e will show them the blessings of lib
erty.
Mr.. Allen said he voted to ratify the
treaty and thought the agreement to
make q declaration should be carried
out.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, asserted
that if any agreement had been made
be was not a party to it, and did not
feel bound by it.
Mr.. Chandler also denied that he
had entered into any agreement. But
he admitted that it was only fair that
all these resolutions should be called
up and let them stand upon their
merits. A vote ought to be taken.
Mr.. Tillman asserted that possibly
Messrs. Chandler and Lodge were man
aging this business in the absence of
Mr.. Aldrich, who has gone to Europe;
and he wanted TO know of Messrs.
and Chandler if any pledges or
promises were made by Mr.. Aldrich
in consideration of their votes for the
Mr.. Tillman directly asked Mr..
Mason if heregarded himself as hav-
ing been %buncoed, inasmuch as he had
stated there was an agreement.
Mr.. Mason said ne understood there
was an agreement but he had kissed

PETITION FOR R D

Governor Tyler is just at present in q
quandary-a greater %quaudary than
usual in such matters-regarding the
case of a murderer now serving all
eighteen years sentence in the peniten-
tiary.
About ten years ago D. E. Pendle-
ton, a well-known man OF Spottslyva-
MIA county, killed his father.iu law. He
was tried and given eighteen years III
The peniteutiary.- Recently Pendleton
made application for a conditional par
don. The board of directors OF the
penitentiary recommended that the
pardon be issued. Governor Tyler re.
ferred the case TO The Judge and com
monwealth's attorney OF Spottsylvanis
county. They decided against it. There
was great fear on the part of the people
of Spottsylvapia county that the Gov
ernor would grant the pardon and he
received many protests against such
action. 1t was stated that Pendleton
was & very bad man, having threatened
while at home to kill his wife and chill
dren. The Governor decided not to
grant the pardon. He has again open.
ed the matter, however, as the surgeon
of the State farm, where Pendleton is
at present, has recently written Gov
ernor Tyler that the!man has consump-
ton and cannot live long. He thinks
q pardon should be granted. The Gov
ernor feels that the case has merits, but
he is opposed to turning loose g person
who, according to many reputable citi
zsns, would be a danger to the life and.
peace of the community.

LONDON, Feb. ia bill will shortly
be Introduced in Parliament for the dis.
establishment and disendowment of the
Church Of England. With the introduce
ton of the ritualism question, into poll
tics there Is a likelihood that the liber-
ais will make the dises.ablishment of
the church a party issue. This would
ALLEVIATE some supporters but would win
others including the powerful non-con-
formist elements. One result will pro-
badly De the retirement of Lord Rose
berry whose high church leanings put
him out of sympathy with an anti

From Manila.

MANILA, Feb. II -11:25 a. m.-The
American loss in the capture of the
town of Csloocan yesterday was three
killed and 80 wounded. Only two Of
fcers we're wounded. The Kansas and
Montana troops in their magnificent
charge through a wooded ravine suffer-
ed the principal losses. Noting could
suppress the fearlessness of their ad-
vance across an open field on the right,
directly in the face of the euemy's
strongest entertainments. Our lines
extended last night from west to east
beyond the town. Entertainments were
thrown up and ouiposts picketed to
meet any possible attack from the enc
my, who had retired toward Malabon.
Tie town of Malabon was shelled by
the Mouadnock and Charleston this
morning and there was also some firing
by the enemy On our lett.
Yesterdays fighting was witnessed
by Capt. Hall, of the British warship
Narcissus, British Consul Rsmsden and
other foreigners, who unite in bestow-
ing the highest eucomiums on the cour-
age of our troops and the splendid gen.
eralship displayed by our commanding
officers.
The American possessions 10 the east
now include Haytay and Cainta. 10
miles from Manila, and north to the
shore OF Lake Laguna and DELAY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-In his latest
dispatch 10 the A%djutant General, Gen.
Otis expresses the opinion that the in
surgents are so thoroughly licked that
Aguinaldo will not be able to rally his
forces again. While no official advices
have yet been received about the battle
at Malobcn this morning, officials ad
nit that every effort is now being made
to capture A~guinaldo, and they think,
from the location OF Malabon, the ms
n9uvre was made in an attempt to cut
of his retreat to the north. A~euinaldo,
they believe, is practically surrounde'.
The following dispatch was received
at the Wer Department from Gen. Otis,
dated Manila, to-day: McArthur's di.
vision is north of the Pasig river and
yesterday his left wing, Otis's brigade,
made partial wheel right resting left of
brigade or Caloocan. Insurgents in
considerable force were sharply driven,
leaving good many dead. Yesterdays
engagement most successful. Belief of
old residents that Aguinaldo will be I'M
able to gather in future any consider
able forces.
HONG KONG, Feb. 1.-THE Filipino
Jun'a here have issued the follow
ing statement: GA Manila steam
er has arrived here with the American
censored version Of the fighting which is ut
terly false. The Americans commenced hos.
t%ilities, hy the troachery of General Otis,
simultaneously by land and sea. The
bomhsrdment of the defenceless towns
Of Malate, Paco, Santa Ana and Malbon caused
frightful slaughter among the women and
children. 1t is estimated that 4 0OQ of them
were killed."
