The oft-repeated assertion Of the Mormon

sen, Ole Borg and Hans Christensen. They
were arraigned In the District Court here
before Judge Mccarthy and all pleaded
guilty. Judge Mccarthy at once passed
sentence.
The Court reviewed the history OF the
legislation by the people OF Utah on polyg-
amy. He called the attention OF Bishop
Poulson to the law as passed In 1892 when
W. n. Seegmiller, president OF the Sewer
County Stake, was president OF one OF the
Houses OF the Legislatu 10, and to the fact
that the Mormons voted for that law. He
also called attention to the statutes OF 1883
regarding the cause and to the fact that
although in 1898 several prominent men
claimed that these sections crept into the
statutes by mistake, the Legislature OF 1883

Judge Mccarthy declared that he be.
lleved the people OF Utah wanted the law
enforced or they would not leave 1t on
the statutes. He wus more severe with
Bishop Poulson than the others, and said
he had been informed by men " hose word
is unqu uestionable that Poulson had made
certain utterances in public just before his
arrest or before any citizen OF Richmond
probably knew he would be arrested that
showed that he did not hold the laws with
the reverence he ought to. Poulson was
fined $50 and promised positively to obey
the law.
Bishop Horne made q little speech.
When asked what he had to say, he said ne
wanted to live In peace and respect the
law. He did not say positively that he
would obey the law. He was fined $75.
Hans Christensen was fined $50. L. P.
Christensen said his legal wife Is an In
valid and does not want him about, 80 he
lives with No. 8. He declared he did not
know he was violating the law. He wac
fined $25. Ole Borg told the Court he did
not know he was violating any law, and
was fined $25.
The Court warned all that these fines are
not to be regarded as a criterion. The
fines were paid by private subscription
among the Mormons,

TROUBLE IN GUAM NOW.
Governor Leary Sends an Urgent Request
For Re-Enforcem ents. I.


For Re-Enforcements.
WASHINGTON, D. G. (speclaD.-The ma.
tives Of Guam. that interesting island In
the Ladrones, which became the property
ofthe United States by the terms OF tho
Spanish-Aule treaty OF 1893, are caus-
Ing trouble to the American authorities
there. Captain Richard P. Leary, U. 8. N,
the Governor OF the island, has sent an
urgent request for re-entorcements, and
the Navy Department has Issued orders
for augmenting the Guam garrison by
battalion OF marines. The several sections
OF this additional force, $50 men In all,
will leave their various stations for San
Francisco as soon as possible. They will
sail thence for Guam on army Transports
While information as to the details OF
the trouble in Guam Is not obtainable, 1t Is
understood that the situation Is not grave,
and that there is no danger that the force
at Governor Leary's disposal will be over
powered. The number Of the natives Is
not great enough to excite any apprehen-
sion In official circles as to the ability OF
the United States marines In the island to
maintain order. This change in sentiment,
or development OF hidden feeling, may be
dus to the Spanish influence that prevails
and perhaps still exists In the island.

AN OFFER FROM CANADA.
Proposal For q Permanent Alaskan
Boundary Settlement.
willing to Concede Dyea and skaguay
in Return For Pyramid Hsrbor-Arbl-
tration With . Condition Attached.

LONDON (By Cable).-It Is now possible
to give authorltatlvely Canada's final pro.
position for permanent settlement Of the
Alaska dispute. It Is very different from
her former demands, and was delivered to
the United States Ambassador, ] oseph d.
Choate, by the Canadian Minister OF Ma
rine and Fisheries, Sir Louis Henry Davies.
It is as follows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those imposed by
the United States and Great Britain over
Venezuela, particularly those provisions
making fifty years occupancy by either
side conclusive evidence Of title, occupancy
OF less than that period to be taken as
equity allowed under international law.
That, as condition precedent to and ab-
solutely preliminary to arbitration, Ska
quay and Dyea would be conceded TO the
United States without further claim II
Canada received Pyramid Harbor.
In other words, Canada gives up much OF
the disputed gold country In return for
seaport. but stipulates that she must get
the latter before she agrees to arbitrate the
boundary line.
It Is said on good authority that Can.
ada's new position was greatly Influenced
by imperial pressure, and 1t can be stated
definitely that Mr.. Chamberlain advised
the concession of as much as possible in
order to gain port OF entry free from
United States control, with the proiessed
reason that commercial advantages would
accrue thereirom. But 1t Is said that the
Interior motive Is to increase British naval
strength by making Pyramid Harbor o
strong naval station.
Regarding the probable action Of the
United States In these altered conditions,
British official opinion Is that the United
States, having been granted Dyea and
SIaguay, cannot refuse to accept the
Identical form OF arbitration they COM
PEELED England to take toward Venezuela.
This course Is contingent upon the United
States deciding that the old Bering coun-
try Is more valuable than Pyramid Harbor.
